FALL PLOWING FOR POT4 TOES.

Soils differ and seasons very, hence
it is not possible to lay down general
rules on such matters, but it is gener
ally regarded as advisable to pillow the
ground in the fall for potatoes. 1t is
frequently asked whether white grubs
will be killed by fall blowing. Prof.
Green of the Ohio experiment station
believes they we'll be, especially if the
blowing is done later in the season.
He says: l have practiced fall plow
ing for strawberries more or less for
twenty years and have nearly always
had some trouble with white grubs,
but do not remember case where the
trouble has been serious. On spring
plowed land, however, they have of
ten done much damage. Fall blowing
may destroy some of the grubs, but it
cannot be expected to kill all of them,
and in cases where the soil is of such
a nature that the grubs go down be-
loow the depth to which the ground
is plowed, most of them may escape.
"Does fall plowed land hold moist
Much depends upon how the land is
handled in the spring. King found
that land plowed in the fall had more
moisture in the spring than that which
was not plowed, but whether it will
continue to hold more during the
summer depends upon how it is treat
ed. If land IS plowed in the fall and
left to lie in the spring without work
ing, until planting time, the chances
are that dry, hard crust will allow
moisture to escape very rapidly and
the work for fitting for the crop will
be even greater than if plowed in the
spring. If, however it is narrowed or
cultivated at the earliest possible mo-
ment, and kept under continuous Guilt
walton, the water content of the soil
will probably be greater during the
season than in spring plowed land.

OUR FARMERS.
ENSILAGE FOR SWINE.

Recently there has been considera-
BILE discussion of the value of ensilage
as feed for hogs. In some quarters it
is not thought to be satisfactory hog
food, and in others it is said to have
proved both expensive and unhole-
some food for hogs. So far as the un-
wholesomeness of ensilage is con-
cerned, that part of the subject may
be dismissed with the assertion that,
where it produced disease, it was
doubtless not properly kept and had
been fed to the swine after it was
badly decomposed.
The question of the value of ensi-
lage as hog food, on its expense side,
seems to be settled by recent expert
ments made at the Virginia expert
ment station. After many trials there,
it was found that the sllage "was &C.
onomical to use in conjunction with
corr as a maintenance ration, but not
SO if used alone" Two brood sows
were fed for seven weeks, during the
winter, exclusively on silsge, the
amount fed per week being forty nine
pounds in one case and fifty six
pounds in the other. Of this from
eight to ten pounds were wasted by
the animals. The animals lost weight,
and their general appearance at the
end of the experiment "was such as
to discourage the further use of silage
as anexclusive ration for hogs, though
in after fattening these took on flesh
as rapidly as did the ones fed on corn,
showing that the exclusive use Of
silage had not impaired digestion"
In the experiments in which the
silage constituted only a part of the
ration, the animals consumed from
twenty eight to thirty five pounds Of
silage and fourteen to twenty one
pounds of corn Oh the cob per week
during a period of ten weeks. The
animals were kept in good condition
through severe winter, on this ra-
ton. By using the silage a saving of
nearly one third in the cost of feed
was effected. Experiments at other
stations have not generally been very
favorable to the use of silage as food
for swine; nor do the results of eX
periments at the Virginia station do
more than indicate that silage is
worthy of consideration as a COM
ponent of cheap maintenance ration
to be used for such purposes as carry
ing sows over winter, and not for fat
tening.

to the charge with an anecdote some
thing like this
Zone day a man on horseback came
up with a boy who was contending
with an overturned load of hay. In
stead of tossing the hay back in the
wagon, the boy was energetically toss
ing it hither and thither, regardless of
where it landed.
1.-THE traveller halted and said; My
young friend, why do you work so
furiously this hot weather? Why do
you not toss the hay back in the wag
on and be more deliberate in your la
bors?
''The boy stopped, wiped the stream
ing perspiration off his face on his
shirt sleeve, and, pointing to the pile Of
hay on the roadside, exclaimed, 'Stran-
ger, dads under thar and then he set
about work more furiously than ever"

Separate Towels For Children.

Two or more children should not be
permitted to use the same towel, Each
child should have a separate one and
be taught to regard it as personal prop
erty. Towels may be bought with
initials woven in them, which makes
it easy for the owner to distinguish
his own. Diseases of the eye and skin
diseases are easily communicated by
the indiscriminate use of the same
towel by different persons. If careful
ness in this matter be inculcated in
childhood, it may save much suffering.
