Rroad-Tired wagons.

The Missouri Experiment Station has
made large number of experiments dur
ing the past two years with the draft of
broad and narrow-tired wagons. These
tests have been made with the ordinary
narrowtired Wheels and with six-inch
tires, on macadam streets, gravel and dirt
roads in all conditions, on meadows, pas
ture, stubble and plowed fields both wet
and dry. Bulletin No. SO of the station.
by Director H. j. Waters, gives the re-
suits of these tests, The broad tires pull
ed materially lighter on the macadam
street and the gravel roads. Also on dirt
roads in all conditions except when soft or
sloppy on the surface, underiad by hard
roadbed, and when the mud was very deep
and sticky. In both of these conditions
the narrow tires pulled considerably light
err In should be borne in mind, however,
that the roads are in these conditions for
a comparatively short period of time, and
this at sea sons when their use has nat
urally been reduced to The minimum. The
tests on meadows pastures, stubble land,
corn land and plowed ground in every con-
dition, from dry, hard and firm to very
wet and soft show, without a single ex-
ception, large saving in draft by the use
of the broad tires.
The bulk of the hauling done by the
farmer is on the farm, in hauling feed
from the fields and hauling manure from
the barns, etc. The actual tonnage hauled
to market is insignificant in comparison
with that hauled about on the farm, mas
much as a large proportion of the products
of the average farm is sent to market in
the form of live stock or its products.
1t is clearly shown by the experiments
that in many instances where the narrow
tire is very injurious to the road or field
the broad tire proves positively beneficial
when The same load is hauled. When it is
considered, therefore, that the average
draft of the broad tire is materially less
than the narrow tire, and that the injury
done to the roads and farms by the mar
row tire can be almost wholly corrected
by the use of the wide tires, there re-
mains no longer any good reason for the
use of the narrowtired wagons. These
experiments further indicate that six
inches is the best width of tire for the
farm and road wagon, and that both axlcs
should be the same length, 50 that the
front and rear wheels shall run in the
same track

Economy of Gardening.

If farmers will estimate the cost OF the
things they purchase which they can pro-
duce the sum will be a comparatively large
one for an entire year. II may be urged
that the cost of a garden is too great when
one is busy with corn and other staple
crops, but there are hundreds of acres Of
corn and wheat produced which do not
give a profit Of IS an acre, while an acre
devoted to a garden will give ten times
as much. The market for the products Of
the garden being al home, there are no
transportation expenses, and at the pres
ent day, with horseshoes, wheel hoes and
other labor-saving implements, the cult
walton of a garden has been reduced 10

Gently questioned by several correspond
ents, says the Southern Farmer, we give
the following statement by Sir ]. B.
Lawes, than whom there is no higher au-
thority in agricultural matters. 1t is CIV
en- in his estimate Of the wheat crop of
England for 1897:
Farmers are very well acquainted with
the great value of nitrate of soda as a ma
nure for our wheat and other crops, and
they also know That It is the nitric acid
in IL which constitutes it's chief value,
but they do not know quite so well that il
is the nitric acid which is formed in our
soils year by year which is one of the most
important foods for our wheat crop. IL
is generally found in our soils as nitrate
Of lime, and being exceedingly soluble in
water, It rises and falls with the soil wa
ter as the weather is wet or dry, being
washed out Of the soil when drainage takes
place For the last nineteen years we
have measured the amount of nitric acid
per acre in the rain water which has pass
ed through the soil OF one of our fields to
the depth Of twenty inches, the soil not
being disturbed in any way. and kept free
from vegetation.
The average amount of nitric acid cal
cu.ated as nitrate Of soda passing through
twenty inches of soil in September
amounted TO nineteen and one-half pounds
per acre. whilst IN September, 1896, when
50 much rain fell, it amounted to 1901
pounds" II will be noticed that he states
that when rains are not excessive and the
ground is moderately dry, as 1t usually is
in summer, the nitrates in the soil sink
and rise alternately as rains fall; and dry
weather succeeds, but when rains are
abundant enough to cause drainage
from the soil the nitrates are washed out

Experience.

No advice, however good, can take the
place of experience. There is no way that
the novice in poultry keeping can become
efficient except by experience. Many peo-
pie think they have experience, but later
find to their cost that they had not OBJ
tanned for a number of years, has a little
touch of poultry diseases, cures the
troubles with ease and imagines that he
know all about them and that he can
fight off anything that comes. When any
of his neighbOrs has a like trouble he
cheerfully gives them his advice and
knows, or thinks he does that if they a.
low the recipes they will have no further
trouble. But later he finds that he knew
less than he supposed. One of the same
diseases attacks the flock again He tries
the old remedies and finds they will not
check this new invasion. The enemy
comes on fearlessly and creates havoc in
his yards. He now gets a little more ex-
perience and perhaps comes down to the
old remedy-the Ratchet. Thereafter he
says that there is no cure for this or that
disease Is he right? Who knows? We
all need more experience and more sys-

ElbOw-greaSe

This would raise a living for a family of
six persons.
In fact, I think, the garden and orchard
so important, and would pay so We'll that
il the farmer would reverse the order of
things and give practically all his time
to growing a living from his farm. which
would only take, say, five acres of it,
and oh, how he could make that five
acres yield with the time he would have
to give st.
1t seems to me he could figure a living
out of five acres so cultivated. Would this
not be more satisfactory than spreading
over fifty or 100 acres and then only max
ing a bare living, as twenty-four out of
every twenty-five do?
A farmer does not need to run a fifty
OF 100 acre farm to feed a COW. a horse
or team, and a SOW and pigs and few
chickens. This can, and is usually done
on the garden and orchard part of the
farm.
If the average farmer would keep an
accurate account of his income from the
part OF the farm in question, l think he
would find it TO be much more important
than he is aware Of He has never learn
ed to count the worth of the egg he ate
for breakfast, or that glass of milk he
drank, or that excellent spread of apple
butter he had on his bread, or that chicken
pot pie, or the one hundred and one SINH
lar items; these he forgets TO count in his
living. If he lived in town where all these
things cost money and are in the expense
column, he would then realize the value
of them.
But besides all this, when the garden
and orchard are properly cared for, the
pay comes in in more ways than one. We
do not only work for pay or money alone;
we want satisfaction, pleasure enjoyment
from our labor.
l fail to see the enjoyment in following
the pillow and harrow over clods and
through dust, day after day FOR a bare
living, when that same farmer could grow
as much corn on one acre well titled as
he can on FIVE, ordinarily farmed.
l wish to magnify the Importance of the
little garden and orchard well titled, as
there is where the pleasure as well as the
profit comes in.
And a word more on the pleasure side
of this subject, would not the wife of
your bosom be ten times more happy when
the vegetable garden and home orchard
are properly cared for?

Bacteria More Useful Thr



Prof. C. B. Atwell at the cad of the

useful bacteria, before the pupils in one
of the Chicago schools, in the course Of
which he said: Bacteria are not so rauch
harmful as helpful to mankind, though "

light of being one of the greatest evils
that man is heir to. They are the smallest
and most ubiquitous organisms known to
man. They are abundant in the mouth,

tissues of healthy animals. We should

subsoiIins to Insure Against Drouth

To test the value of stirring the subsoi
for general farm crops, the South Da-
kota experiment station lnaugurated a Sc
ries of tests with corn, potatoes, oats and
wheat during the year 1896. Owing to the
abundance and distribution of water mos-
ture throughout the season, none of the
plats suffered greatly from drought. but
the increased vigor and yield on the sub
soiled plats was due TO the loosening Of
the hard subsoil clay, which permitted q
freer development of roots and extended
the feeding area of the crop.
This loosening of the subsoil also in
creased the water holding capacity of the
soil which was very beneficial through
August and permitted the roots TO extend
themselves into The deeper and more
moist subsoil, where they would be less
affected by the hot and dry weather The
station wants il understood that the ex-
periments are too limited to determine
definitely the benefit to be derived, from
subsoiing, and that this benefit must al
ways depend upon the character of the
subsoil and the amount of moisture re-
ceived during the growing season. The
yield of corn and potatoes was far better
on the subsoil plsts. The small grains
were destroyed by rust and were thrown
out of the test.

The vegetable Garden and Home Or
chard.

The time spent in making and taking
care of the vegetable garden and home
orchard is the most valuable time spent
by the farmer, says the Farm and Fire
side.
I reach this conclusion by this mode
of reasoning: If farmer would work
for Just a living off his farm, what process
would he follow? Would he not proceed
to plant just about what he needed, of
the necessaries of life say one acre
wheat, one-half acre potatoes, one acre
fruit, one-half acre vegetable garden,
nerhaps two acres for corn and oats?
