How to Grow osier willows.

A Kentuckian's method of growing
willows with profit, given in Country
Gentleman, is: Select deep. rich SOIL
moist and low, but not too wet" made
land, y if possible. Break ten INCHES deep
in fall and harrow thoroughly. Plant
as soon as frost is out of ground slips ten
inches long, ten inches apart, rows
three feet apart, showing slips down
with padded hand. Cultivate as soon as
ground is dry enough, repeating through
season. Slips will grow three to five feet
high. Some growers cut them first year.
Better plan is to wait two seasons and
let roots strengthen. Even then the first
cutting is of little market value The
third years crop should be the first
market crop.

About Cabbage Plants.

Although the plants need not be SET
out until the middle of June or the first
of July advise blowing The land carly,
and by frequent workings getting it
both clean and mellow, as the success
of the crop depends on this as much as
fertilizipg. Cultivation should begin as
soon as the plants start to grow, and if
a light cnitiyator is run between the
rows az soon after each rain as the
ground can be worked very iittle hoe
ing viii be needed, and the growth of
the crop will be very satisfactory. Cab
bage may be planted in rows three feet
apart With the plants ia feet in the
row, which gives nearly 5000 plants to
the acre. = W. i. Brown in Prairie

REARING CALVES.
How to Feed and Manage Them to Got
Best Results.

HOW TO reed ana manage 1nom TO UCt
Best Results.
Our calves ySe all weaned at to 8
days old, according to convenience and
the condition Of the COW If there seems
any danger of milk fever or any partic-
ular swelling in the udder, prefer to
leave COW and calf together until she
seems all right. This, however, is for
the benefit of the COW, not the calf. For
the first month we feed new milk fresh
from the COW. If calf is valuable, it
does not pay to cut it off too quickly
not until it begins to eat some grain and
hay. If | aimed to do the best possible
without regard to cost, | should con-
tinue the new milk month or two lon
ger.
But usually By the time calf is a
month old it begins to eat some grain
bran and shelled corn, or bran, oats and
corn. This we keep in reach, giving a
little at time so as to have it fresh,
and at the same time handful of good
sweet hay preferably mixed hay. With
this grain in reach we feed sweet sepa-
rator skimmilk One great advantage
of the hand separator on the farsl where
the calves are reared is that it enables
one to feed the milk warm from the
COW. Calves scarcely know the differ
ence between this and new milk, and
in my experience no warmed over milk
is anything like so good for young calves
We feed the milk pure and usually
about three quarts at feed, twice a
day. increasing as the calf is able to di-
gest it 1t is better to feed too little
rather than too much, and if calf is
disposed to gulp it down it will do bet
ter if a calf feeder is used where it is
compelled to drink slowly.
For the first couple of months the
calves are kept in roomy box stalls well
bedded and preferably each by itself or
only couple together. After that they
are removed to a pen outside connected
with paddock for exercise. Usually
there are three to six calves together
here from to 10 months old The door
of this stable is usually left open-al-
ways except on very cold nights. A
heavy canvas or old carpet curtain is
hung over this opening, which they push
aside to go in or out at pleasure. In sum-
mer it is kept dark to avoid flies and in
winter it is dry and moderately warm
or free from cold drafts.
If calves are at liberty and several to-
gether, they take great deal of exer-
else, as much, think, as colts. Of course
their romps take the fat off, but they
give what is infinitely more valuable in
a breeding animal or one intended for
breeding-vigorous health. And if with
abundant exercise they get all they
will eat they will keep as fat as they
ought to be.
This system works well here. In a
different climate or under other condi-
tions it might need modification. We
shipped today bull calf reared in this
way that weighed $40 pounds at few
days under months old. He was not
fat from a butchers standpoint, but
we'll filled out and in vigorous health.

Nitrogen Traps.


We can draw upon the stock Of nitro
gen in the atmosphere by means of sun
light acting upon and vitalizing legu-
minous crops, such as clover, vetches
and peas. All of these can be grown as
"between crops, so as not to interfere
with the regular crops. Clovers can be
sown in the stubble of small grain, or
even with che grain seed. Vetches and
peas can be sown in standing corn at
the last cultivation. The selection of a
crop to be used as a nitrogen trap de-
ponds largely upon the locality, soil
and system of rotation. For states south
of the Ohio and Potomac rivers the
cowpea, crimson clover and sand vetch
are the three most satisfactory. For
more northern states red clover, Cana
da pea and winter vetch promise most.
In general any legume known to
thrive upon the soil will be satisfactory
as a nitrogen trap. When such legume
is once found and adopted, it should be
continued year after year, as these crops
never give the best results until they
have been grown upon the same field
for several seasons-the longer the bet
ter. Rye turnips and other nonlegumi
nous crops which are sometimes turned
under are of no value as nitrogen gath
erers. All the legumes named, except
sand vetch, make valuable fodder, and
their use as fodder does not detract from
their value as fertilizers if fed upon the
farm and the resulting manure return
ed to the land. For soils too sandy to
produce good clover or winter vetch
blue and white lupines and sand vetch-
are recommended for all but the coolest
parts of the United States, says Coun-
try Gentleman correspondent

TOBACCO cUL TuRE.



Growing the "weedr with and without
Manure The Planting Distance.
An Ohio grower is of the opinion that
few extensive planters produce manure
enough for the needs OF a tobacco crop
and he, therefore, has the following to
say, in The National Stookman and
Farmer, about the kind of land that
will produce paying crop Of tobacco
without stable or barnyard manure and
also about fertilizing;
''If the land has never had crop of
tobacco raised on it, has lain in pasture
or blue grass sod eight or ten years, and
is fertile enough to produce so bushels
of corn per acre, or If it is q clover sod
fertile enough to produce GO bushels of
corn per acre without manure, | would
not hesitate about planting it in tobacco
and would expect it to raise me 1900
to 1000 pounds per acre Land less fer
tile than that indicated above should
have not less than ~ to Is good two
horse loads of stable manure or l8 to
20 loads of yard manure per acre. This
is best scattered over the land after
blowing and worked in with the tools
used in preparing the soil for planting.
Stable or barnyard manure not being
a we'll balanced fertilizer, as it contains
an excess Of nitrogen the best results
are attained by using it in combination
with commercial fertilizer strong in
potash and carrying considerable
amount of soluble phosphorio acid.
Cigar tobacco can stand more manure
or commercial fertilizer than Burnley
can, the quality of the latter often be-
ing damaged by the use of an excessive
amount of manure From $50 to 800
pounds of commercial fertilizer are the
lowest and highest amounts safe to use
on Burnley This is either dropped in
the row and chopped into the hill or
distributed with fertilizer distributor
or common corn drill.
Concerning planting, this grower says
that cigar leaf is planted closer than
any other variety. The Pennsylvania
tobacco experiment station reported
that they made the best filler leaf by
planting not over IL by 80 inches.
Northern Ohio planters advise Is by
81 to SO inches, and the bulk of the
crop in the Miami valley is planted Is
by SO inches. The wider tobacco Is
planted on fertile land the heavier
and coarser will be the product. White
Burnley is planted Al by 20 to 80 inches,
except on hillsides, where it is planted
48 by 80 to 80 inches The yellow to-
bacco of the southern states is planted
as wide as AZ by 48 inches, but this is
grown on thin soil, specially fertilized
for the needs of the crop.
