killing the Wild Onion.


The wild onion has become such
troublesome weed here that, on some
farms, it has become almost impossible
to make good butter or use the milk,
especially in the spring, says an
Orange county, N. Y, contributor to
Rural New Yorker. To pillow and har-
row as in ordinary farm work scatters
the onions and makes them more nu-
merous. was told of a very effectual
way to exterminate them by an old
English gardener, the way they do it
in England. He said, put on gas
lime, and that will kill them outright.
Having piece badly infested with
them, had, about Sept. Is, one load
of gas lime put on as an experiment.
To my surprise, it killed them entirely.
That was about eight or nine years
ago; it also made the grass grow much
better and for years could see just how
far the gas lime extended. l believe
about the middle of September is the
proper time to use it, as the heat of
the summer is about over. and the wild
onions are in weak state about that
time. Another experiment with gas
lime was on my garden, but here it
appeared to do an injury, and I do
not want any more on the garden. Gas
lime can be had for nothing, except the
carriage; gas makers are glad to get it
drawn away. In using the lime. that
which has been exposed to the weather
long enough to expel the smell of gas.
and is bleached white, is best; new
lime may kill the grass.

Feeding Young Pigs.

Prof. Thomas Shaw recommends the
following supplemental feed for young
pigs where they do not get feed
enough from the sow. If there is skim
milk on hand partition off a place in
the pen where the dam is, If necessary,
but which she cannot reach, and there,
in low trough, feed some skim milk
as soon as the pigs will drink It, AS
soon as they take 1t freely, feed them
slop Of shorts and milk. Then give
them little oats or corn strewn on
the floor in addition to the slop. Feed
the slop SO that it will not become
stale at any time. II there is no skim
milk at hand, thin slop of shorts and
water Is next best. presumably little
warm If the weather is cool. But
when the trough room is ample, young
pigs may have their food supplemented
by allowing them to eat with the dam
at will. The same kinds of food that
are best suited to provide an abun-
dance of good pure milk from the dam
will alone provide the right sort of
feed for the pigs. But the trough
should be low and one or more planks
should be in front of it, so that the
little pigs can easily get into it. And
care should be taken not to feed much
bran or the hulls of oats to the sow
when the pigs are learning to eat, as
sucn food is too coarse for the diges-
ton of the little pigs. 1t is surprising
hoy soon they will learn to eat thus
along with the dam. Take it all in
all there is perhaps no better mode of
management than thus described for
average conditions. 1t is the least
labored. 1t answers very we'll and
forces one to be cautious as to the
character of the food given to the dam.

wire Fence. and Vines.

1t is very gratifying to note that the
old hedge-row is fast going. on the ap-
proach of the wire fence, and am in
clined to think that the later makes Of
such fence are going to be much more
lasting than the first were, which often
present sorry sight now-wires
broken and seldom repaired. The wild
grape is one of the plants that delight
in the change, and other plants will
follow no doubt. From decorative
standpoint, this is more than welcome.
as there is never more refreshing
sight in the landscape than big wild
grapevine, says John Chamberlain in
Country Gentleman. The Virginia
creeper will also be in the new SWIM"
and also the nightshade (Solanum dull
camara), with its elegant purple flow
ers and red berries. If the wire will
bear them, there are many vines that
ought to be included; for instance, the
bittersweet. as we'll as many vines that
are now seen only about dwellings.
I shall of course be accused of i'm
practical sentiment If try to make
point in favor of loading wire fences
with something that may shorten their
lives and is at most merely decorative.
Well, the birds will be with me at least,
and together we are a tolerable major
ity. There is general complaint the
country over that the birds are disap-
pearing. have never been much wor-
ried on this point, but II farmers really
want to cultivate birds as we'll as fields,
they can do no better than to provide
them shelter in this way. What have
they to say about 1t?

Pumpkins for Swine.

You need not have any fear in regard
to the feeding of pumpkins. either to
your sh6ats or to your old hogs II they
are fed judiciously, says a writer in an
exc. e fed them each sea-
son for the last thirty years with the
best results, but Of late years I have
been feeding squash instead. We feed
them after this manner: II we are
feeding fifty hogs. we throw them
twenty-five pumpkins or squashes on
their feeding floor. These are broken
into three or four parts with spade
and are given them twice 4 day. They
are also fed corn. We find that the
pumpkins keep our hogs in healthy
and thrifty condition. and that we
make more live weight gain out OF our
corn. But they must be fed ju-
diciously.
It Is surprising that pumpkins are
not more grown for feeding swine.
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1899-11-24

Some have a prejudice against them,
saying that they promote an excess Of
urine: but this Is not the case when
swine are Of good breed, and the
whole Of the pumpkin is fed together.
II the seeds are cut out and given
alone to them they might prove injuri-
GUS. Being scant of grain one autumn,
but having an abundance of pumkins.
I fed a considerable number of breed
ing Berkshires during the whole
months of October and November into
December entirely on pumpkins, and
they kept in as good condition as
ever want to see lot Of breeders.

tivation OF the Soil and Yields
Observation-Disclosures viticulture and
Horticulture.
Tobacco t,rowinr.

AOOoCcO GROWING
A contributor to National Stockman
gives the following brief instructions
Tor tobacco growing: Preparation Of
the soil should be thorough, the disk
or cutaway is probably the favorite
instrument, and the soil is worked until
1t is in perfect condition. Some soils.
loose and "mealy" in nature, are better
II compacting. with drag and roller, but
tn general the soil can be properly 1T
ted with disk and spike harrow.
Manuring.-Well rotted stable man
ure is the ideal fertilizer for the tobac-'
co grower, but fresh manure, while it
stimulates the plant into a quick. Wig
orous growth, does not make a good
quality Of leaf, and If used should in
all cases be spread on the land and
plowed under. Rotted manure may be
spread on top with a liberal hand, or
may even be used in the hill, the latter
not being the usual practice, although
the manure can be made go great deal
further by 1t.
Fertilizers.-ln nearly all extensive
producing sections the supply of stable
manure is far short of the needs of
our crop, and plant food in a bag is
used quite extensively. Generally
speaking, these goods are bought with
out a proper knowledge Of the needs OF
the crop, and usually the sale is made
by the agent with the slickest tongue.
II the land has had from six to ten
good loads of stable manure p)owed
under, fertilizer carrying or 6 per
cent ammonia, to 10 per cent phos-
phoric acid and or per cent actual
potash, used in the hill at the rate of
$50 to 400 pounds per acre, will produce
a good crop of tobacco. but .et me re-
peat what I wrote some years ago
few farmers really need to purchase
ammontated fertilizers for tobacco"
Distance Of Planting.-For cigar leaf.
where fine wrapper is desired. the
crop is often planted as close as II by
30 inches. and the distance varies from
this-very close planting to the
Miami valley plan of 16 or IS by SO
inches for cigar leaf. For White Bur-
ley the usual distance is % or 80 by
"A inches, excepting on hillsides, where
it is planted 80 by 4S inches. The hills
are made the same as for cabbage or
tomatoes, and most planters like to
have their hills made a few days in
advance of season as the plants live
better in hills several days old. Es-
pecially If fertilizers have been use1
Setting Out.-1n some sections horse
transplanting machines are used, but
1t is safe to say that 80 per cent of the
crop is set by hand, no special direc-
tions are necessary. the same care be-
ing used as in setting cabbage, tomato
or other vegetable plants. In pulling
plants great care must be used to avoid
injury to the remaining plants, by
"mussing" them up, as dirty plants
do not grow at all we'll. Children do
the dropping, and it is we'll to keep
them close to the settlers, as the wind
and sun damage the roots of a tobac-
co plant in a very little time. "Cul-
tivation" about June Is.

Immense Radishes.

Radishes three feet in girth may be
considered rather large for breakfast
varieties: but they are nevertheless
raised and moreover are eaten cooked,
like turnips. The department of agri-
culture has secured from the secretary
of the japanese legation at Washing
ton some seed of very choice and
carefully selected winter radish, extern
sively used for food in Japan. This
variety known as the Dakon radish.
reaches perfection only in the extreme
southern part of the country; it may
accordingly be OF use as fall or
winter crop in the southern states. In
Japan many methods Of cooking and
preserving are known, and il the
vegetable is found to thrive in the
south a large amount of seed may be
imported for distribution This kind
of radish grows in small volcanic
island named 'Sakurajima," or>"Island
Of Cherry Blossoms" in Kagoshima
Bay, Kfusha. Japan. The climate there
Is generally warm, and the soil much
like that of Florida and Georgia.
Roots three feet in circumference. ac-
cording to Mr.. Okohira, the secretary,
are frequently produced and the rad
ish is noted for its excellent flavor.
The Lean Cow.-Another COW may
be pouring nearly all her feed and part
CT herself into the milk pail. It is
often said that a COW will first take
care Of herself before she will make
milk. out of her feed. She does not
always do it. There are cows that
seem intent on making milk and moth
ing else. They utterly neglect to feed
their systems. and such cows will be.
come thinner and thinner. If we are
watching the individual and observe
COW like that. we will increase the
ration and keep on increasing it as
long as We can get returns. It is a
little trouble-but not so much after
all TO vary the rations to suit diff
ferent cows. The COW that is taking
on flesh should have very little, II any,
IA: forming food. Eliminate the corn
meal, or other similar ingredient from
her ration. Feed her wholly or main
ly on heterogeneous foods. For the thin
COW increase the fat-forming elements.
