ugually benefited by both. Complete
fertilizers should not be applied by the
farmer without reservation. They are
only complete as they meet the re-
cuirements Of his soil. On clay soils
bone meal is usually a very effective
fertilizer. 1t supplies phosphoric acid
and potash and also lime, which usual
ly exerts beneficial mechanical effect
on clay. Acid phosphates or South
Carolina rock acts in the same way
except that it contains no nitrogen
The average sandy soil is always de-
f1cient in all of the three principal fer
tilizing constituents. 1t is not only
necessary to supply the soil therefore
with nitrogen. phosphoric acid and
potash but organic matter will prove
beneficial as well. If barnyard ma
nure is not available blowing under
green crops will serve the result. BY
a systematic method OF rotation and
pasturage together with the use OF
commercial fertilizers, sandy soils can
be brought to the highest state Of pro-
ductiveness. In the determination OF
what kind of a fertilizer and how much
shall be applied to particular soil the
farmer must be his own guide-he
must make his own field experiments
and profit by them from year to year.
Field experiments conducted in his
same locality but on heavy black
soil, whereas his might be light
sandy soil, would be Of little or no
benefit to him. In a general way
sandy soils are leachy and momentum

The April bulletin of the Ohio Ex-

report of experiments in the treatment
OF cucumbers and melon diseases:
The cucumber pickle industry con-

yields of pickles have been more salts

year. The abundant rains, we'll dis

atures for the growing months have
contributed to this end
The downy mildew OF cucumbers and
allied plants, Plasmopara Cubenss, mas
been fully as destructive to the plants
during the season named as in 1885,
but owing to the earlier harvesting OF
the crop the actual reduction OF yields
has been only about one-half as great
from this cause.
Anthracnose of cucurbits, Colleto-
trichum Lagenarium, has increased IN
abundance and destructiveness.
wilt of cucumbers and muskmelons,
referred to a species of Fusarium, has
also prevailed, besides the usual VIII
disease Phyllosticta Cucurbitacearuni
and Cercospora Cucurbitae have also
been found spotting cucumber leaves
as well as Cercospora Citrullina upon
watermelon foliage.

upon a commercial scale have gwen an
increase of seventy-fve bushels per

from this treatment were not SO large
as would have accrued from similar
work in 1897, for reasons pertaining to

The practicability of saving the late
crop of cucumbers from downy mil

fully demonstrated by the experiments
made. Spraying for this purpose need
not be begun earlier than July 20 to

In some notes on plum culture pub
lished in a recent bulletin issued by
the Colorado Experiment Station, Pro-
lessor Charles S. Crandall says:
For the European plums such rs
Lombard, Green Gage, and Bradshaw
probably no stock is better than
seedlings of some variety oil
the species from which these va
rieties came-Prunus domestic2.
These have been in common use
for many years. but in recent years
have been in some degree superseded
by Myrobalan stocks seedlings OF
Prunus cerasifera, species OF Euro
pean orgin). Myrobalan stocks are in
common use in European countries
and have rapidly grown in favor with
our nurserymen, not because better
trees can be grown upon them, but
because it il easier to secure good Ny
robAlan than good domestica
stocks. Seeds of domestica vari-
etiss that will produce An even
stand Of stocks Is difficult to
obtain, and the Myrobalan, which ID
easier to grow and less liable to in
Jury from parasitic fungi, offers an ac-
ssptab BILE substitute. Some nurserymen
Import the seeds and grow their own
stocks. others find it more profitable to
import the seedlings They are usual
~ received during the winter, planted
in nursery rows in spring. and budded
in July and August. In the south the
stocks in common use are the Mari
lnna plum and peach, and very diverse
opinions as to their relative merits
have been expressed Probably the diff
ferences arise from varying local con-
ditions, for the testimony at hand in
dicates that on the light and dry soils
the peach stock does best, while the
hyrobalan is better suited to the
heavier and more moist soils. Even at
me north the peach meets with some
favor as a stock for plums on light
Doils. but it is too tender for districts
where severe winters are common. For
the native varieties, Wolf, Weaver, De
Soto and other derivatives of Prunus
Americana, the natural inference that
Americana stocks would be best seems
to be borne out by experience, but the
degree of success may depend in a
measure upon the seed used. The spe-
cies is extremely variable in general
habit and rapidity OF growth as well

Miners who have passed the winter
in the Klondike refer to a brand OF
evaporated potatoes sent from Canada
which have proved very satisfactory as
a substitute for fresh vegetables, says
the Rural New Yorker. We learned
that the Canadian company has vari-
GUS factories in this country and in
Canada. One factory is run at May
vile, Mich. 1t started last fall with
evaporated apples, and then made
apple cider and apple jelly. When the
apple season was finished, they began
evaporating potatoes and kept at 1t
nearly all winter, through the very
coolest weather The same company,
we are told. evaporated peaches in
Georgia earlier in the season. One Of
our friends in Mayville gives US the
following information about this busi-
ness:
How are potatoes canned?"
"They are first washed and then put
in large vat or steamer and steamed
just enough to loosen the skins. Then
they are taken out and peeled by
women and girls. After this they are
cooked until thoroughly done, and
then run through a machine shaped
like q colander. They come through
this In long, white strings very much
resembling long worms or shredded
cocoanut. After this they are evapo-
rated and put up in tin cans and
sealed air-tight."
About how many potatoes were
canned during the season."
Last years run was about 5000
bushels
Does this make any difference in
the potato market for the neighboring
farmers?"
Eyes, l think 1t does, although the
farmers have no trouble in selling all
the potatoes they grow, to the ship
pers. The canning factory helps to
raise the price. Last winter, when the
factory first started, the shippers were
paying only 20 to 22 cents bushel for
potatoes. The factory's first contract
was for 5000 bushels at rs cents. OF
course the Gamers want the highest
quality of potatoes. It IL understood
here that the factory had = contract
with the United States government for
all the potatoes that were canned last
winter"

The Agriculture Ledger Of Calcutta,
India. announces the discovery for the
government of plant described as
similar but superior to ramie. Ramie
furnishes an extremely fine, strong
and valuable fiber, suitable for making
fine, high-class textile goods, and the
only thing which has operated to pre-
vent its culture extensively in this
country is the fact that it has to be
degummed, which is always a costly
process. This new kind of ramie, IL
1t can be so called, is free from gum,
and therefore does not. in its produc-
ton, present that difficulty. The de-
partment of agriculture is investigat-
ing the subject, and is arranging to
procure seed for trial and distribution.
Mr.. Jared G. Smith of the department
states that a ramie which does not
require degumming would, in all prob
ability, prove a highly valuable acqui-
sition, and its introduction might be
the means of starting a new line Of
industry in the United States. Such
plant, he says, might to some extent
replace hemp.
