The Water Supply.

It is safe to say that nothing is Of
more Importance to the gardener and
florist than an abundant supply OF
water, and this supply always under his
control, writes B. S. Hoxie in Wiscon-
sin Horticultural. The man or Wo-
man who wishes to cultivate mowers
and plants and who gives them me
chance in spring and early summer, OF
late years suddenly awakes in mldsum-
mer to the fact that they begin to
wither and die. Resort is at once had

pailful from the we'll or cistern pump

We bend our energies to supply the
want, but finally gave up in despair
while we mourn the loss OF our now
ers and hope that next year may be
better. My memory recalls when one
year had as fine growth OF Dahllas
as ever l saw, and the next spring
planted out fifty hills which promised
a fine show of autumn bloom, but alas!
not a dozen blossoms appeared, and IN
the fall the bulbs were weak and puny.

So the question had but two alterna-

of the question for me was a supply OF

Preparing for Sugar Beets.


Indiana Experiment Station:-The
Increased interest in the sugar beet
question has brought to the expert
ment station an unusually large num-
Der of samples of sugar beets from all
sections of the state. Some OF the
beets were raised from seed furnished
by the station and some from seed OBJ
tanned from other sources. In the case
of the seed sent out from the station,
full working directions were furnished.
In most cases these directions were not
followed, although those who requested
free seed agreed to fully follow work
ing directions. The most essential
preliminary to raising good sugar peets
is the proper preparation or the SEED
bed. The ground should be stirred to
a depth of at least 16 inches. The best
way to accomplish this is to turn fur
row about eight inches deep with
common pillow and follow with SUD-.
soil pillow in the bottom Of the furroW.
Very few farmers who tried raising
beets, report that they used a suDsoll
pillow or any other implement for STIR
ring the soil to greater depth than
eight inches. The result of this is seen
in many of the samples received. IN
stead of single tap root there are
number of small roots, and instead OF
the beet growing well under ground,
it extends so far above ground that
nearly one-half of it's weight is useless
for sugar making purposes. Both these
defects can be corrected by deep ploW-
ing and subsoiling. 1t is much better
to do this blowing and subso1hng III
the fall. We therefore advise all those
who intend to experiment with sugar
beets the next year or who lntend 10
raise them for any purpose, to ploW
the land now, and be ready to plant as
early as the season VIII permit III the
spring. This early planting is ereae
advantage on the moderately nsHl
lands that are best adapted for sugar
beets since it advances the crop to
stage where it can better Withstand the
usual dry summer season.
In the distribution of seed in the
spring, the station will give preference
to those who have land properly pre-
pared. If farmers intend to try the
raising of sugar beets it is OF the ut
most Importance that the work De
properly done in every respect. For
every test not properly conducted ana
giving beets of poor quality IS not
simply useless; it is directly injurious
since it seems to indicate that the To-
cality is not adapted for beet culture.
Badly conducted tests may be the
means of keeping beet factories away
from localities that are really well suit
ed for the business. They will GER
tainly never be the means of inducing
capitalists to invest money in factories
in any locality.
The first step in the right direction
Is proper blowing and this can and
ought to be done at once.

Increase of Insect Enemies.

1t needs little argument to prove that
the enemies of cultivated plants are
steadily increasing, and l think it can
De easily shown that they will continue
70 increase so long as the conditions,
Ior which we are in large part respon-
siDle, remain as they are at present. I
uo not by any means regard this as
calamity. On the contrary, look upon
the TACT that our insect and fungous
Toes are increasing as direct proof that
we are progressing, for, as Professor
Bailey has said, "Our enemies increase
because cultivation induces change of
habits in wild organisms; because it
presents an ever-increasing variety OF
food, or host plants; because the food
supply Is large and in more or less
continuous areas; and finally, because
the natural equilibrium. or tension. is
destroyed. 1t follows, therefore, that
the more we put forth our energies to
improve our native plants or to change
their habits; the more we endeavor to
increase the variety and number of our
cultivated vines, trees, and shrubs; the
more we extend our orchards, our vine
yards, and our fields, just so much
more do we disturb the equilibrium in
nature, and just so much more must
we expect to burden ourselves with
the work Of maintaining this unstable
condition by more or less artificial
means. Where an insect or fungus had
one chance a hundred years ago to wax
strong and spread, it has now thou
sand chances, for unbroken orchards
and vineyards and millions of nursery
trees cover the country where then
only wild plants grew. 1t is but nat
ural, then, that man, seeing the on
ward march of his enemies, should look
about him and wonder how it will all
end, and how he, as an individual, is
to obtain relief. In many cases he has
found way of doing this by adopting
certain more or less empirical meth
DDS. Again, with a fuller appreciation
OF the fundamental principles underly-
ing plant growth, he has learned, part
ly by intuition, to keep his plants in
health, and when he has reached this
stage be stands far in advance of his
neighbor who waits until his plants are
diseased and then begins to look about
for spraying apparatus.-B. T. Gal

BAD DIGESTION. BAD HEART.

may be mistaken for real organic heart

There is however a vast difference between
the two: organic heart disease is often in

If good digestion be restored.
A case in point is quoted from the Ne,o
Era, OF Greensburg, Ind. Mrs Ellen Col
years old, had suffered for four years with
distressing stomach trouble. The gases
generated by the indigestion pressed on the
heart, and caused an irregularity of its ao-
ton. She had much pain in her stomach
and heart, and was subject to frequent and
severe choking spells which were most
severe at night. Doctors were tried in
vain; the patient became worse, despond.
ent, and feared impending death.
