Manure does not give full benefit in one
year. II is something that shows good
effects for several seasons. The reason
is that manure does not decompose very
quickly and as the plants can only utilize
il as it becomes soluble, the manure lasts
from one 10 three or four years, according
to the materials of which it is COM
posed.
Ten acres of land is considered a large
farm in Japan and the majority Of farms

Tomato Rot and Treatment-Prof Lode
man says; This fungus generally attacks
tomatoes when they are over one-half
grown. The blossom end is attacked, the
appearance of a small black spot being
the first indication of the disease This
spot increases in size until fully half the
tomato is destroyed. The diseased part is
black and shrunken, and generally extends
squarely across the tomato from side to
side.
The warm, moist weather of summer ap-
pears TO be particularly favorable to the
development of this parasite.
Treatment: Very thorough spraying with
Bordeaux mixture or other copper com
pound is perhaps the best preventive. If
possible dry location should be selected
for growing the plants. and the stems
should he kept free from the ground

Cnre of Pastures.

According to the Farmers Review, one
of the greatest mistakes made by Stock
men is the overstocing of the pastures.
The government has recently been investi-
eating the great stock ranges of the South
west. and finds that they have been over
stocked to a point where they are about
ruined. This is particularly the case with
Texas, where the conditions are now so
bad that il is feared the injury is petma-
nent. The grasses and what serves Cor
sod are killed out and the land, il it
bears anything at all, henceforth bring
forth only weeds The report says that it
is not yet too late TO recover provided the
land be given a rest at once The subject
is a matter for consideration other than
on the ranges When our home pastures
are overs iocked they become permanently
injured. al least until the land can be put
into a rotation and gradually brought I'd
again. With many pastures this is not
practicable, as frequently the ground is
stumpy or so uneven that tilaGe is ex-
ceedingly difficult. When such q pasture
becomes eaten down 10 the very soil the
sod must necessarily become thin. #.
through a whole growing season the
blades of the grass are not allowed to
develop, the roots must become also thin
and weak. When like conditions thai the
sod becomes so thin that they exist year
by year is il any wonder total proiuct is
meager? We must work for heavy and
vigorous sod on our pastures. Overlooking
is a bad practice and one that is being
abandoned by our most progressive farm
ers. 1t viii be found cheaper 10 have more
grass grown than can be eaten than 10
have less grass grown than will satisfy
the herds There are two ways to save
a pasture from this fate-to put so few
cattle on il that they can not eat all of
the grass. or to feed additional rough
fodder and grain in the barns before turn
ing them on to the pasture. Richard
Baker has said that his plan Is to have
grass enough for two animals and 10 turn
only one on It, One would suppose that
this would mean a great waste OF mate
rial. but such is not the fact, as land so
treated will probably bring forth twice as
much as If treated the other way. and
besides the cattle will always be in good
condition.

however. is quite different 20 that of the
North where corn and hay form the prin-
clpal ration. There are TWO othods OF
feeding commonly pracuccd in this state
and PROBABLY other states also one is the
feeding of Cottonseed meai and using the
hults as fodder. This method is practiccd
mostly by the rangemen who ship their
cattle by the train load to the oil mills
and their buy and feed these once waste

obtained on land worth from s. 10 $40 per

how we can feed so cheapy; indeed il il
rather strange this practice ha6 been de-
l4yed so long.
This, however, may lie attributed to two

In many sections the sparrow hawk IS
recognized as a true friend OF the farmer,
though in others it is included in The gen
eral warfare waged by farmers and SPORTS
men against hawks of all descriptions
The value Of the sparrow hawk lies in his
habit of feeding on small rodents. He IS
a rapacious bird. and destroys great num-
bers of these farm pests also
grasshoppers. Farmers are slow to
appreciate the value Of birds of
prey. If one young chicken is
devoured by a hawk year, the whole
race is condemned and no account taken
of the 800 mice and young rats he may eat
during that period. Mr.. ". 3. Hall Of

Il IS too bad that the farmers family
cannot have all the fruit that they wish
to eat but it is a fact that there are
very large per cent of farmers families
who consume but Htue fruit. Grapes,
for instance, which is one of the most cas-
lily grown fruits, is as scarce on a great
many farms as are hens teeth, and this,
too, when the young vines can be had FOR
"a very few cents each. and take but little
time to set out. The grape is very
wholesome fruit, and there are but fe"
persons VINO are not fond OF it.
II ought 10 be made a point on every
farm % set out some fruits every year
Nothing adds so much TO the attraction
and comfort of the farm home as does the
orchard and fruit garden. Who is there
that has grown up and gone out from the
GA home nest that does not look back wi "a
pleasure to the orchard where grew those
delicious red apples of childhood days?
Ought We not TO plant fruits for those
who are to come after US? If there is no
other available place to set out trees aud
vines, why, set them along the fences. No
matter how lice land one owns. there can
surely be room found for q iCrie fruit, and
it ought not TO be neglected.
