Wood Ashes for Strawberries.

On most land the application of wood
ashes to the strawberry bed is a great
help, and they can be applied few at a
time as they accumulate at the house.
They improve the condition of heavy
soil. tightening it, and are also desirable
addition to sandy soil The regular rule
on large beds is IS bushels to the acre
spread between the rows, being careful
not to let it touch the leaves, as it burns
them badly. The best time to apply it to
the beds is early in spring, as the pores
OF the ground are then opened by the frost
and in good condition to take it in, the
spring rain washing il down into the soil.
First remove the mulch from between
the rows and then put it back again after
the ashes are spread over the ground,
which will prevent the wind from scatter
ing the ashes; or one can work the ashes
into the soil with hne-toothed rake and
then replace the mulch.
II the ashes can be put on the land be-
| fore the bed is made. SO much the better,
so bushels to the acre being used, spread
broadcast and plowed under
Each bushel of well-preserved wood
ashes should yiel about four pounds of
potash, IS pounds of lime, two and half
pounds of magnesia one pound of phos-
phorc acid and three fourths of pound of
sulphurc acid There is no nitrogen, but
ashes tend to bring all the ingredients of
the soil into use, and help to catch and
hold the nitrogen of the air, Much valu-
able fertilizer is lost when ashes are thrown
away which might easily be made use of
in this way.--M. NJ, in Success q0tfh tie

TIE HCCS.S.v fly.
What May he Done After Wheat Har-
vest-SowinG Decoy Crops.

The Hessian fly Is giving trouble In
various sections of the country. In a
bulletin of the department of agricul-
ture on this fly the remedies discussed
at length are burning the stubble,
blowing under the stubble, destruction
of volunteer wheat, planting decoy
strips. rolling. late sowing of fall
wheat, intermittent wheat culture, pas
turing with sheep moving and selec-
ton of resistant varieties, Mr.. Il Os-
born, the author of the bulletin, says
that a little thought concerning the
measures discussed, with a recognition
of the lie history facts upon which
they are based will suggest that the
..Dest practical results will be obtained
not by reliance upon any one method,
but by an intelligent adaptation of two
or more, according to the conditions
prevailing for the season. These will
constitute a practice which can be
modified for each year as the condi-
tons will indicate.
With the harvesting of grain there is
open the policy of burning the stubble
or blowing 1t under or allowing it to
stand for the exclusion of beneficial
parasites If the weather is very dull,
it will be best to defer burning, to al
low the issuance of as many parasites
as possible. but If burning Is to be
adopted at all it should be done before
fall rains set in or the field has grown
up to weeds II rains occur early,
burning will be best, and In any case
the stubble should be plowed under
and rolled as soon as there is any ap-
pearance of volunteer growth of
wheat. The chaff from thrashing
should be burned and the screenings
burned or fed to stock as early as pos
sible and care should be taken during
autumn To pillow under and roll the vol
unteer wheat that springs up in the
stackyard If winter wheat Is to be
planted. strips of decoy wheat may be
put in to be plowed under at the end of
three or four weeks and finally the
crop planted at as late a date as prac-
ticable, according to dates given in the
paragraph on late planting. This prac-
ticc can be duly combined with the Sc
lection of resisting varieties of wheat
and the application of fertilizers
1t will be observed that the modifiea-
tions are based primarily on the wealth
er-whether dry or moist. Il condition
apparent to every one, aud that the sug-
gestion amounts to postponement of
burning or blowing if dry, or the early
adoption of one or both if wet.
Tile proper time for sowing decoys
will vary with the latitude. According
to Webster. for northern Indiana they
should be soWn during the latter part
of August, and in the southern part of
the state not later than the first week
in September. To the north and south

Early and Late Flowing.

The Kansas station carried on two
experiments, one in the summer Of
1897 aud the other In the summer Of
1893, to determine the relative effect Of
early and late blowing on the moisture
content of the soil The experiment Of
1898 indicates that the disk harrow
may be a valuable means of conserv
ing moisture. especially If it is used
soon after the last rain preceding a
period of drought. A fair comparison
between disking and early blowing can
not be made from this experiment. be-
cause the good effects of the disking
were largely obliterated by heavy
rain which fell July 3, before the ex.
pertinent wiln early blowing began.
The results of the two experiments Of
1897 and 1893 certainly show that, as
far as the effect upon soil moisture is
concerned, early fall blowing is GER
tainly much better than late, and es-
pecially Is this true when there is q
drought through the months of July
and August. In addition to this, the
