From Farmers Review: Plant q
few small shrubs near the house, so
that the foundations of the house will
be screened and the house seem to
rise out of its surroundings. The
choice Of shrubs depends somewhat on
the soil and location. There are a
great many shrubs that are very ap-
propriate for planting on the grounds.
but only few will be named here.
Common Lilac.-Syringa Vulgaris-
This Is one of the commonest and
most highly praised of garden shrubs.
and one that has given rise, either by
natural variation or by crossing with
other species, to a great number of
superior forms. The colors range from
white to various forms of lilac
Syrfnga Persica. This Is a distinct
small growing species, with slender.
straight branches and lilac or white
flowers produced in small clusters. The
form bearing white flowers Is named
Syringa persica alba; and there is one
with neatly divided foliage. Syringa
persica lanciniata.
Philadelphus. This Is a genus Of
shrubs which are remarkable for the
abundance of white and usually sweet
scented flowers they produce. They
VIII thrive on almost any good soil,
and require no special treatment
Philadelphus coronarius, Philadei-
plus tomentosa, Philadelphus gordon
Janus are all large growing bushes and
give a succession Of bloom.
Honeysuckles, or Lonicera, are all OF
the readiest culture. and succeed well
even in poor Soils There are large
number of species, some vining and
some OF a sturdy bushy habit. Loni-
cera fragrantissima blooms very early
and IL very fragrant 1t retains Its
leaves nearly all winter. Lonicera tar
tarica produces white and pink flow
ers In the spring, and later during
the summer yellow and red berries are
formed, which are as attractive as the
blooms.
Berberis vulgaris also produces at
tractive flowers in the spring ana
scarlet fruit In the fall.
Spireas are excellent shrubs and
make very good low screens. and also
give a beautiful display Of flowers.
Spirea Thunbergii. Spirea Van Hout-
tel and Spirea reversiana give sue
cession of blooms.
Deutzia gracilis and Deutzia crenata
foraplena are very compact shrubs.
with close spikes Of very attractive
flowers.

Owing to the lateness of the spring
there is still time to make use Of all
the methods of checking the apple
tree tent-caterpillar for the coming
season. The young larvae are prob
ably yet concealed in the egg-bands
about the wild cherry and apple twigs
and these bands can easily be located,
cut off and burned or soaked in kero-
sene Certainly the ravages OF the
little pests upon the leaves can only
be begun, even in the most favored
localities, and the voracious caterpil-
lars can be met by arsenical sprays.
The nests of those escaping the poison
can be cut out or burned upon the tree,
and a final search Of the orchard along
in June will reveal the yellowish-
white cocoons which then conceal the
marauders. After July the egg
bands will be found again and can be
looked for in every orchard operation
until the next spring. Encourage the
children to seek them out and destroy
them; and try to make friends with
the cuckoos, chickadees, Baltimore
orioles, wrens and vireos, who will aid
you In getting rid of caterpillars or
eggs Wild cherry trees about the
premises should be carefully watched
as they are the favorite food plants
of the caterpillars. These simple RENE
dies and precautions are taken from

Test Your Seed Corn.

The Illinois Experiment Station
sends out the following advice:
Farmers should test their seed corn.
Owing to the unusually wet fall OF
1898 there is great deal OF poor seed
corn as is shown by numerous com
plants from farmers, and by tests
made at the experiment station. Every
farmer should test his seed corn be-
fore planting This can be done at
slight expense by using box OF soil.
A still better method is to use two
dinner plates. Place an inch OF soil In
the bottom Of the first plate, moisten
and cover with two thicknesses OF any
cloth, preferably old cloth that has
been washed several times. Upon this
place the seed to be tested and cover
with another moist cloth. Then cover
by turning the second plate bottom
upwards over the first to prevent the
soil from drying out. and set in a
warm place.

A bulletin OF the Indiana Experiment
Station says: A comparatively new
and promising leguminous crop for In
diana farmers is the Soy bean. This
plant has been successfully grown in
different parts of the state and at
several points farther north in the
United States. 1t thrives in good corn
soils, and Will grow wherever corn can
be successfully produced.
Being 4 quick maturing annual, IT
will prove especially helpful to those
who cannot grow clover. crop Oh
soy beans can be produced between the
spring and autumn frosts anywhere
In the state. The soy bean may be
grown for pasture, green forage soil
ing), for hay or silage, or for seed. II
will yield nine to IL tons Of green fod-
der, III to 21a tons of hay, and III TO
40 bushels of seed according TO variety,
condition of soil, etc.
Varieties.-If seed is desired, the
earlier varieties, only, should be grown
In northern Indiana. The Medium
early varieties will doubtless mature
in most parts of the state. and are to
be preferred owing to their greater
yield. The later varieties might be
grown for soil renewal or soiling, but
they would hardly mature seed.
Culture-The soil may be prepared
- for corn. II impoverished by prev
ious cropping the soil should be well
supplied with lime, potash and phos-
phoric acid. heterogeneous manures nave
also proved beneficial in New England.
The seed may be sown broadcast
with the wheat drill in rows 16 to "a
inches apart, or with the corn drill to
be cultivated as corn. The earlier va
rieties of soy bean may follow crop
of rye or barley or be sown in the
standing corn at the time Of the last
cultivation, II the weather is season
able. If sown in corn put in two rows
Of soy beans between each two rows OF
corn. Sow about two pecks to the acre
in rows, like corn, and cultivate, II
seed is desired. For pasture, soiling or
hay, SOW four or five pecks to the
acre.
Food value.-Soy bean hay COM
pares favorably with clover hay IN
chemical composition. The seed Is
very rich in protein and can therefore
be fed advantageously with corn. Inc
seed should be ground before feeding.
The seed is readily eaten. Stock as
rule, do not relish the stems and leaves
at first, but soon take kindly to this
forage. Soy beans and sorghum sup
plement each other as soiling crops
Corn and soy beans. together, are SAID
to make good silage.
Harvesting.-Begin cutting at the
time OF early bloom, for soiling. Cut
for hay when in full bloom, and as
soon as the pods have formed, for
silage.
Cost Of Seed-Seedsmen offer soy
bean seed at $3.50 to IS per bushel.
This makes the cost far too great to
Justify growing soy beans as a general
crop. Farmers are advised to try soy |
beans in a small way as a special crop, |
and then grow their own seed II the |
crop gives promise Of being valuable

1t will be observed from these fig
ures how small relatively is the cheese
producing branch Of the dairying In
dustry in the United States as COM
pared with the butter-producin1
branch and the milk-producing branch
The explanation OF this will appear
further on. In Great Britain and Ire
land a very different distribution OF
the three branches Of the dairy indus
try occurs. Cheese-making occupies
much iAOl iIpOi tdAt pooitiOh - S~SSN
countries than it does with US. In
1894 the number of dairy cows IN
Great Britain and Ireland was est1-
mated to be 3.925.4S6 The amount or
milk produced by these cows was es-
timated to be 1,766, 468,700 gallons
ABOUT one-eighth of this milk was
used on the farms where it was pro-
s-k~ - 1a
mainder-that is, of the milk sold on
the farms either as milk or as butter
or cheese-was said to be as follows:
Butter sold .-......... 225. 5000 lbs.
Cheese sold ........... .225. 100000 lbs.
Milk sold ...... .575, 900 900 gals.
There is an enormous waste in dairy
production which few people realize
This waste Is due to the practice too
prevalent among farmers OF keeping
for dairy purposes COWS that are not
good dairy animals. Mr.. Alvord esti-
mates that upon the farms of this
country many animals are kept
probably some millions"-that do
not produce the value Of their annual
cost however cheap and wastefully
poor their keeping may be-" This
grave fact is generally recognized by
good dairy farmers, but unfortunately
it is not recognized by the rank and
file of farmers generally. Instead OF
$50 gallons of milk annually, as sup
posed IN the above estimates, dairy
COWS should average from 575 to 600
gallons of milk annually. and instead
Of 125 pounds Of butter annually. as
asupposed in the above estimates. good
dairy cows should average from 200
to 225 pounds OF butter annually. II
COWS of the proper standard of produc-
ton were kept. two cows would pro-
duce what now is produced by three.
The enormous loss, therefore. that ac-
crues to cur dairying industry through
the use of cows not up to the standard
excellence will be apparent to every
oue

Deep Flowing Profitable.-Land that
is plowed endures the drouths better
than shallow plowed land. as there is
a greater absorption of moisture. In
other words, the deeper the soil is
plowed the greater its capacity for
holding water. To prevent loss Of this
moisture the top soil should be culti-
waited so as to simply loosen It, which
prevents evaporation and at the same
time keeps the weeds down. The water
in the soil escapes at the surface, and
this should be prevented by mulch
OF loose dirt over the surface. which II

The Question Of Exporting Butter
This export question is well worthy
of serious consideration by butter
makers, and dealers. but combined ac-
ton is necessary, as it would not be
wise for a few individuals to assume
all the risks of finding a market, and
allow others to reap the benefits that
might result from the unloading OF
the home market. 1t is easy to find
people who say, "Oh yes, it would be
a good thing If we could ship OF por-
ton OF our summer product, even at
a low price," but they want the other
fellows to do 1t and hold their own
stocks for home customers.-N. Y.

Mr.. Alvord regards this estimate OF
$500, 900. 900 as very conservative one,
and no doubt 1t is. 1t follows, then,
that one-eighth of our total agricul-
tural production Of every sort. includ-
ing wheat, corn. oats, hay, cotton, to-
bacco. beef, pork, mutton. poultry and
wool, is dairy produce. IN Great
Britain even greater preponderance
OF dairy production prevails. In round
numbers the total value Of all the
produce sold OF the farms Of Great
Britain and Ireland amounts to $1,000
