While on some soils and for some
crops sub-soiling is desirable, 1t should
be remembered that there is vast diff
ference between this and deep plOwing,
for by the use Of the sub-soil plow the
lower strata of soil Is simply loosened,
and is not thrown up and mixed with the
surface soil as with deep plowing. When
you have developed good growing soil
near the surface, 1t Is folly to plOw deep,
and attempts to raise heavier crops by
deep plowing on well worn farm lands
have generally resulted disastrously. On
the rich alluvial soils Of the prairie,
deep plowing may be practiced with i'm
punity. Deep plowing will carry down
beyond the immediate reach Of the crops,
the food material Of the soil, and while
all of them will not be wholly lost, they
will not be Immediately available, as all
plant should be in order to make farming
profitable

Angora Goats.

For several years past, in many Of the
Western States and also in sections far
ther east, experiments have been made
with the Angora goats and the results
indicate that the breeding Of them will
be profitable In any section where sheep
are successfully raised. These goats
breed and mature about the same time
as sheep and require much the same
treatment. The fleece of the Angora
goat Is worth about 20 per cent. more
than that of sheep, and their flesh is
considered by epicures as superior to
mutton. They sell better than sheep,
as the meat ls worth about the same
price, and the pelt much more. An
goras and sheep may be raised together,
as they never cross breed,

Feed the Orchards,

Trees will make more growth in five
years in rich, well-cultiVated soil than
they will in ten years in neglected
ground. In starting an orchard the first
point to bear in mind is to obtain va
rieties suited to the soil and climate,
not only in tree but in fruit. Set the
trees carefully, and keep the ground in
some sort Of crop, but not planted nearer
than four feet from the tree in any direc-
ton. For orchard crops use vegetables
rotated with corn or potatoes, which
will keep up the fertility Of the soil. Fer
tiliZers should be used literally on thin
or poor land, and on poor soil when the
trees come into bearing leave the ground
without a crop for year or two, but do
not neglect cultivation nor yet the liberal
use Of fertilizers There is no more rea-
son why one should expect crop OF
fruit from an orchard on Worn-out or
poor ground than crop of corn from the
same ground.

The Best Tomato,

A grower Of tomatoes who has had
years Of experience in raising new seed
llngs, as we'll as in testing all varieties
as introduced, says that the way for
every grower to get the variety best
suited to his locality Is to raise few
plants of a dozen or so Of the best
kinds and plant them near each other;
from the crop select the finest specimens
those having the fewest seeds, the
finest color and which are borne on the
most thrifty and productive vines-and
to continue this selection on the same
lines year after year and he viii soon
obtain several varieties which will an
swer his requirements. Tomatoes cross
readily, so that when the perfect va
Fiety Is once obtained all other sorts
should be abolished or at least not
planted near II.

Money in Onions,

The days when money may be made in
the culture Of onions are not gone by
any means, but the growing OF large
crops is now so well understood that
profit in onion culture must come mainly
by the methods of superior cultivation,
and the obtaining Of medium crop of
superior quality and size The method
Of transplanting, as with beets and other
root crops, has resulted in better and
larger onions, though the method is not
profitable with all varieties. With
Prizetaker and Gibraltar it is complete
success, while Yellow DanVers is best
grown on the old plan Of sowing four to
five pounds of seed to the acre In drills,
and thinning the plants as they grow.
For manure the product Of the stable is
preferable to commercial fertilizers,
although a mixture of wood ashes and
phosphate will accomplish the desired
result IL the soil is mellow and well
drained.

Dairy Notes,

The following hints are simple, but
are among the number of seemingly un-
important details that go to make a sue
cess Of dairying. Do not allow the cans
Of milk to remain in the stable while be-
ing filled, but remove the milk of every
cow to clean, dry room as soon as OBJ
tanned. Milk absorbs odors quickly. Do
not mix fresh, warm milk with that
which has been cooled, and do not allow
milk to freeze. Never add anything to
milk to prevent it souring. If it is kept
clean and cold, no trouble will be eX-
perienCed In this respect. Aerate and
cool the milk as soon as strained. If no
apparatus for the purpose Is at hand, so
the milk may be aired and cooled at the
same time, it should be aired first and
this must be done in pure air; it should
then be cooled to 450 if for shipping, or
to go If for home use, or delivery to
the factory.
The Advocate and news., 1898-03-09

to obtain the best results. All tree roots
strike deep In the soil, hence all land
should be sub-soiled before the tree is
planted, and the ground reasonably well
drained. Before planting Is also the time
to add richness to the soil, for If tree is
stunted in its early growth from lack OF
proper food in the soil 1t rarely regains
the lost time. After proper soil, proper
drainage and proper feeding comes cul-
tivation, which In many cases will save
the cost OF manures or fertilizers II 1t
Is properly done. An orchard should be
we'll cultivated for the first five or six
years, and then seeded down to clear
red clover.

Speciality Farming.

While undoubtedly speciality farming
is about the only kind in which there Is
any profit in these days, the farmer must
not make the mistake Of deVoting his
whole time and the entire farm to grow
ing some special crop solely for the
money he may sell 1t for. The first care
OF the farmer Is to get out of the farm q
living for his family and stock; not
q dollar should be spent for anything in
the way of foods, except dry groceries
Specially farming which Is carried on
with an idea Of selling the entire product
and buying food, as we'll as other sup
plies needed by the family, is all wrong.

Utilizing tho Corn Crop,

The low price at which corn was sold
throughout the country the past year has
made 1t necessary to find some other
way OF dlsposing Of 1t at larger profit.
In the West corn has been profltably
fed to hogs and cattle and the same prac-
tlce ought to be followed in other parts
OF the country. The best way to feed
corn so as to get the greatest returns
from 1t Is to grind it and mix with water
to thick slop. An experiment made
in feeding corn to hogs showed that ten
bushels Of corn when ground and cooked

Fsttening Poultry.

The methods of fattening poultry are
widely different in different countries
and even in different parts Of this coun-
try, the operation depending almost
wholly upon the demands of the market.
The purchasers Of dressed poultry in
Europe object to the yellow flesh which
Is so desired in our markets, hence there
they don ot use corn for fattening. The
main point to be observed in fattening
fowls is to have the food ground as fine
as possible. Corn ground to almost a
powder and mixed with whole milk is an
ideal food for fattening; SKINNED milk,
buttermilk or even water may be used
The Advocate and news., 1898-03-09
Suitable Soil for Orchards.

Just as the farmer selects the soil for
corn, wheat or potatoes, just 80 should
he use care and good judgment in select
ing the soil best suited to the needs of Or
chard trees. Pears and apple trees need
deep and rich and somewhat moist soil,
and for pears clay sub-soll is best. The
peach, cherry and plum do best on dry
soils, but whether the soil be dry or
moist 1t must have proper preparation

Mammoth White Asparagus.

The accompanying illustration shows
one of the best of the newer varieties
Of asparagus, though it has been Cul-
tivated sufficiently long to prove it's
value. 1t is a distinct variety, Of Wig
orous growth, producing very large
white shoots which, in favorable
weather, remain white as long as the
shoots are sufficiently tender for use.
The Advocate and news., 1898-03-09

1t is very desirable for canning purposes,
is heavy yielder and generally profit
able to grow.
Asparagus culture is only profitable
when the beds are well cared for and
the plants properly grown. In setting
small beds It is the best plan to purchase
two-year-old plants rather than younger
ones, or in preference to growing the
plants from seed. If plantation of
considerable size is put out, have the
rows far enough apart to cultivate be-
tween them with q horse, Established
The Advocate and news., 1898-03-09

beds should be heavily manured in tho
fall or early spring before the plants
start and the manure worked in around
the plants. A top dressing Of coarse salt
is advisable after the manure has been
applied and worked in as asparagus was
originally a sea weed and it's nature
seems to require salty soil.
