ever, no matter what the other con-
ditfons, every variety will rust, eve
considerably, If it natures late. Early
maturity is therefore another impor-
tant quality. For rust freedom and
for other purposes an early-maturing,
hard, red, frost-resistant, and drouth-
resistant winter sort is the ideal n
for the great portion of u wheat
region.
Judging from all the experiments
and observations of the Department OF
Agriculture, the following varieties, al
ready we'll known and good standard
sorts in other directions, may be rec
commended as likely to prove consid-
erably resistant to orange leaf rust in
every part of this country, provided,
of course, that they are sown in time:
OF winter wheat: Turkey, Mennonite,
Pringle's No. S, Rieti, Odessa, Pringle's
Defiance. OF spring wheat: Haynes
Blue Stem and Saskatchewan Fife.
Two early varieties which are quite
susceptible to rust, but which usually
ripen early enough to escape the worst
effects of it, are Early May and Zim-
norman.

Depth to Lay Tile.

The depth at which tile should be
laid must depend on a number of cir
cumstances, but the object should al
ways be to get the tile below the reach
of the frost. 1t is a well-known fact
that freezing frequently pulverizes tile
drains, which are nearly always made
of unglazed tile. It is probable that
the frost Of the last winter, which went
deeper than for many years, did great
damage to the tile drains. However, 1t
is hardly feasible to lay the tile SO deep
that they would be below the depth
at which frost could reach in a winter
such as the last. But it is hoped that
we will not get more than one Or two
such winters in the course Of a CEN
fury. Therefore in laying the tile for
the drain we need consider only the
ordinary winter when the ground e
much of this western country freezes
to a depth of not more than two feet.
1t is quite common practice to put the
tile down thirty inches, it being be-
lieved that the frost will hardly be
able to get below that. We have
heard recently of farmers in Illinois
laying drains not deeper than two feet,
but this is a mistake. These shallow
drains might do on land that has not
been worked and is of a clayey nature,
but they will not do on sandy land, nor
will they do on clayey land after the
land has been worked for a few years
and lightened up. 1t is said that when
the Scotch first found out that drains
were such a good thing they went to
work and in a few years over 10, 900
miles of drains at a depth of two
feet had been laid. But this
depth was found to be by all odds
too shallow. Where sufficient fall can
be secured the drains should be put
down thirty inches or three feet on
clay land, and may go even foul feet
on sandy land.

Dryness and Root Injury.-The past
winter has been more disastrous than
any within the forty-seven years l
have been in the nursery business.
Vineyards have suffered equally with
orchards. Blackberries and old rasp-
berries have suffered almost a total
loss. The young paintings of Loudon
are alive root and branch. Plum, pear
and cherry have not injured in the
root like apple, and are giving a prom
Using bloom. About one-half the straw
berry beds are weakened or entirely
ruined. The thirty-seven cold days of
last winter aggregate 327 degrees be-
low zero. But why the frost should
have gone down eve feet is a mys-
terry I cannot fathom. True, the ground
was bare, but the excessive deep freez-
ing is beyond precedent. The ground
was in good condition when it froze
up, but the continuous evaporation
from the dry surface must have been
the of the root injury.-George

Just now the fall army worm is raw
aging many of the lawns in our large
cities and the n are casting about
them anxiously for some means Of pre-
venting its destructive work. The only
remedy seems to be to spray the lawns.
Unfortunately the owners have not the
implements at hand with which to do
the work, and some of them would not
know how to do the work if they had
the implements and the materials.
Most of them would gladly pay for
having their lawns sprayed, and we
believe that at such times, if some of
the students in the agricultural col
leges would take the matter up, they
might make a good deal of money.
This would be a boon to certain stu
dents that are trying to work their
way through college. In Chicago espe-
cially opportunities for such work
would certainly be found.
A few years ago the writer Of this
was in Minneapolis, at a time when
the shade trees were being attacked
and stripped by insects. The whole
city was alarmed, but no n seemed to
know what to do. The trouble was
that no one man felt that it would pay
to invest in spraying pumps and ma
t~erials, and probably most of them
knew nothing about such things. So
they stood by and saw whole rows of
shade trees defoliated. We trust that
this thought will be taken up by some
of our enterprising young men, and
that something material may come of
it.

Pennsylvania Seeking a Butter STAN
dard.-The Pennsylvania department
of agriculture has been advocating the
necessity for a butter standard and has
recently made analyses of 100 samples
of butter collected in Philadelphia and
vicinity. Five grades of butter were
tested, including boiled" or process
butter. The average per cent of water
was about IL per cent, of butter fat
about IS per cent, curd between one
and two per cent and salt about 2 per
cent. OF the Is samples of unmelted
butter examined, only one contained
less than 80 per cent of fat, and only
six did not reach an SO per cent but
ter-fat standard, to which any dairy
man, it is stated, can bring his butter.
The percentage Of water, according to
the results obtained, should not exceed
IA per cent at the very most. The
percentage of salt is considered about
right when kept below 8 per cent.
Two thirds of the samples contained
curd less than LOS per cent. Curd, in
all buffers it is stated, should be re-
duced below 2.05 per cent.

Sulphur and Salt.-It is still a dis
added to salt is of any benefit to cattle
or sheep, says Prof. Thomas Shaw. 1t
has been claimed that sulphur will help
to remove the ticks from sheep when
thus fed. Whether it has any decided
influence in this direction is uncertain,
but it will not wholly remove them.
That it helps to preserve the health of
cattle or sheep is not an established
fact, but there would seem to be no
harm at least from using it in modera-
ton. AS much as a teaspoonful may be
added to a very few pounds of salt, but
usually a less quantity is fed when it
is used.

We
Fig Inaeots Imported.

The special agent Of the Agricultural
Department, Mr.. Swingle, who has
been travelling in southern Europe and
Asia during the past season, has just
returned, having accomplished several
things which may be advantageous to
American farmers and fruit growers.
Two of the most interesting items of
Mr.. Swingle's work have been date
palms and fig insects. In Morocco and
Algiers he studied the best varieties
of the African date palm and sent
over and made arrangements to send a
large number of small trees for plant
ing in the date section of America
our arid southwest, where the dry al
a conditions are very similar to
those in Africa, where this magnifi-
cent palm fiourishes. The work in figs
shows what intelligent perseverance
will do and also shows the advantages
of good quick transportation. The
dried figs of Smyrna are justly re-
nowned. They are large n perfect
and have the distinctive aromatic fig
flavor highly developed. C%alifornians
have tried raising them, but while the
trees grew well, they were shy bear
ers and the fruit was imperfect. 1t
was then seen that the blossoms did
not evidently properly fertilize and in
quiry developed that the fig growers
Of the Mediterranean annually brought
down limbs of the wild mountain Capri
fig and tied them to the cultivated fig
trees. These wild fig blossoms con-
tanned minute insects, which, crawling
from blossom to blossom, fertilized the
Smyrna figs, making large, perfect
fruit, full of seeds and highly favored.
Various attempts were then made to
import these insects into California or
chards, but without success; the in
sects died. But this year Mr.. Swingle
kept sending by mail small lots of fer
tilted figs wrapped in ~tinfoil, until
finally the object was attained and a
colony of the live insects was started
in California fig trees.

A Chicken Trust.-The Leaven-
worth Times says: "The three larg-
est poultry and produce dealers in
the West have organized a chicken
trust at Fort Scott n capitalized it
under the laws of Missouri for $780,
900. The general offices will be at
Springfield, Mo. Throughout Kansas,
Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky and
other states, the company has well
established buying stations, and the
aggregate business of the three firms
last year is said to have amounted to
several million dollars. They buy and
ship chickens and eggs. 1t is esti-
mated that an average of a train-load
a day from Kansas alone is handled
by them"
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES any kind of
bowel disease exists the cause may be
traced to the food-usually too much
but some times too much green bone,
or letting the birds out on stubble-
fields may be the obstacles. AS a rule
overlooking is the cause. The remedy
is to change the food and reduce the
quantity. The males are also fat, and
if they are removed from the flock the
leg weakness will disappear, as well
as the blindness, the real difficulty be-
ing spinal affection. The medicines
used should be avoided, as less food
and removal of the males is all that is
necessary.-Ex.
