The sentiment against the sale of
poor seed is growing.
The department of agriculture is said
to be engaged in the attempt to impart
to Connecticut tobacco the flavor and
aroma Of Cuban or Florida leaf
through improved methods of fermen-
tation.
The phrase 'tillage is manure" may
be classed as one of the "half truths"
From recent experiments it appears
that the reason tillage seems to be
manure is that it enables the plant to
utilize completely the fertility that is
in the soil, particularly potash and
phosphoric acid, but if this process is
carried on indefinitely without applica-
ton of any kind Of manur it will rem
der the land hopelessly barren.

AS soon as onion bulbs attain full
size and the tops turn brown they
should be pulled, thrown into windows
and allowed to cure for ten or more
days, or if there is danger from rain
the curing should be done in open
sheds or on the barn floor. Excess Of
either sunshine or rain is likely to in.
jure the bulbs. The most common
processes of wintering the onions are
freezing the bulbs and keeping them in
this state all the winter and storing
them in dry apartments where the tenn
perature can be maintained just above
the freezing point.

"A Factor Requiring Consideration
In Growing Fruit Trees.
In some parts of the country sun
scald is N Of the most important
factors in growing fruit trees. Espe-
cially is this true in the southwestern
states, where the danger from sun
burning controls the whole practice
Of cultivation and pruning. In that
country the trees are headed low, even
down to within 4 foot or six inches Of
the ground, in order to protect the
trunks. At the same time any consid-

ST. PAUL, Oct. 23.-The 10th annual

weakening it, and when the grain
comes to head the straw will topple
Y and break down, thus giving rise
to what is known as "straw fallen
grain. The insect passes the winter
largely in the 1axseed stage about the
plants just above the roots. 1t passes
the summer, largely at least, in the
stubbles that r left in the fields at
harvest. Thus the adults breed In
spring and fall at dates varying with
he latitude. They live but q few days
and die almost Immediately after de-
posting their eggs.
The preventive measures are late
sowing, rotation Of crops and burning
of stubble where this can be done. The
remedies consist in the use of quick
acting fertilizers in the fall or pastur-
ing early sown fields preferably with
sheep. There is no known remedy
against the spring brood Of flies.
The Rambouillet are sheep that dc

country, according to a writer in Amer.
lean Agriculturist. They thrive on the
rugged hills Of New England, the
mountains Of Pennsylvania, Virginia
and North Carolina, the rich bottom
lands of the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers and the great plains Of the west
and northwest. They have no weah
points and are pre-eminently a hardy
race.

Square Cornered Silo.

The principle reason why ensilage
spoils in the corners Of the square silo
is that the construction is such that the
corners pull apart enough to admit the
air, says L. A. Clinton in The Rural
New Yorker:
With the usual form Of construction,
there will almost certainly be a slight
give at the corners, and the result is
the ensilage spoils. The figure shows

they fall back into the arms of the
operator, who holds them until he has
an armful, then stops his horse and
carries the stalks to the nearest shock
o. lay them in piles to set up later.
This machine, like all fodder cutters,
is a dangerous thing for men and
beast, and too much care cannot be
used in working around it. The device
at Fig. 2 is used as q safeguard when
the machine is not in use. It is made
Of a 2 by 6 plank three feet long. Holes
are bored in the sled platform at Il and
Fl. Insert pins in the 2 by 4 plank and
in the holes in the platform, and the
knife will be covered so that nothing
can come in contact with the edge,
says a Kansas farmer, who describes
this cutter in the Ohio Farmer.
Seeding and Pasturing Stumpase.
With q little scientific handling
stumpage may be made excellent pas
turage. In some of the heavily wooded
sections Of Wisconsin the COW is
brought in about as soon as the timber
has been hauled away. The stumps
remain, and in the course of nature the
spaces around them would soon grow
up thick with briers, berry bushes and
underbrush. But the farmer puts in
his harrow and perhaps his plow, and
the land is roughly prepared for grass
seed, which is at once sown. The
grass quickly gets a firm hold, and
there is no room for either underbrush
or weeds. The whole land is soon oc.
cupied with grass, except that actually
occupied by the stumps.
The COWS are then turned into this
pasture and occupy it for years. Mean
time the stumps, if they be of certain
varieties Of trees, are rotting away al
the roots, and the rotting clears the
way for the stumpage pasture to be.
come a tillable field. This plan II
worthy of more general adoption, &C
cording to Farm, Field and Elreside.
Land that has been cleared Of timber
Is generally allowed to lie practically
waste for long years. If the cattle are
turned upon it for pasturage, they sim
ply browse the wild grasses that
spring up here and there. Too Otter
weeds get possession in such numbers
that the whole area becomes q verita
BILE thicket of weeds. In all such cases
grass should be placed in possession Of
the denuded land.

THE FIGHT IN OHIO.
II lis All McKiniey's Way ON the
Surface.

Cincinnati o., May 29.The republican
State convention at Columbus this week
promises to be an extraordinary event,
not because OF fractional lighting alone,
but also because OF its effect on the pres-
Dental election next year in the presi-
dents State. 1t has been ten years since
the republicans of Ohio lost the state
ticket AS most of the Safe officers, in
Guiding the governor, are elected for two
years and accorded a second term, there
is new deal once in tour years. This dis
the year for the new deal from governor
down to the minor State officers.
AS all the counties have Endorsed the
National administration and all candidates
for governor and other offices claim 10 be
strongly in favor OF the denomination OF
President Mckinley, there is no doubt
whatever about the convention adopting
a strong resolution for the denomination
of President Mckinley. but the character
OF the Ohio delegation that Will be sent
to the National convention for him next
year may depend to some exten upon
the makeup of the State ticket and the
new State central committee, as the
Kurtz- Bushnell McKisson element want
to secure control now with view of pre-
venting Senator Hanna being one of the
delegates at large next year.
In addition to advantages to be secured
now for the presidential year, there is an
unusual number of candidates for state
Offices and for the power that goes with
them. With the two new candidates for
governor are Judge George X. Nash and
Hon. Harry M. Dougterty both friends
OF President Mckinley and of Former Sen
ator Hanna also. The third in the race Is
Governor Asa w. Jones' Among
other gubernatorial candidates are Albert

night. 1t was given out at the time that

death was caused by shock, but Of what

when the men took out a handful of soft
