Observation shows that a large ma
jority of farmers have not yet learned
TO take advantage Of this job. which Is
one OF the hardest and most disagree
able on the farm, says contributor
TO the Michigan Farmer"
The common practice Is to rig up
single wagon and team. drive In ana
load I'D. then drive to the field and
spread the manure from the wagon.
When managed in this way the team
Is standing idle over half the time,
stamping the barnyard into hoies,
when Il would be more comfortable
on the move. The men spend nearly
half the time riding to and from the
field.
II IA next TO impossible to do even
a passably good job Of spreading ma.
nure by standing the wagon anu
throwing off punches here and there
without being properly shaken apart.
This whole Job becomes tedious ana
irksome and is very likely to be slight
ed from first to last. which Will tell
on the next crop. =.
Several hired men who have helped
me with this work have told me that
by our plan we could move out more
manure for the time and money, spent
than by any other way they had ever
seen tried. We want nothing but
good strong, willing man 10 help with
this. One team and two wagons are
always used. Every passageway into
the manure lot is thrown open, SO we
can pass in OF out in almost any d.
rectIon. While the team is gone to the
field 20 unload one wagon the man Is
loading up the other. Care Is always
taken to drive the empty wagon where
the load can be put on with the least
work.
But IL Is in the field that the really
skillful work Is required. We never
attempt to spread from the wagon. Inc
side-board on one side is taken Out
and the manure pulled of in piles with
a manure hook. We use boards Ten
feet long. with side-boards about two
feet wide. and the manure Is piled up
on these as long as 1t will lie on. Eacn
load is divided into six equal parts ana
dumped In conical piles. In straight
rows twenty-five feet apart each way
When the manure 10 in condition Tor
rapid work, we get about twenty-five
loads per day. When 1t Is fine ana
tramped solid. eighteen or twenty
loads will make days work.
when put on at the rate mentioned
above 1t requires about twelve LOADS
to cover an acre. We practice FOUR
year rotation, consisting OF clover
corn, oats and wheat. l have tried Tor
years to figure down this manure
spreading pretty fine. l have found
that by working all the oats and wheat
straw from half OF our cultivated land
into manure, by feeding all the corn
fodder and about I'll the clover hay
from the other half. and by carefully
saving and applying all the manure
we have Just about enough to cover
all our corn ground each year, or all
the pillow land once in four years. When
the season is such that the straw and
litter is pretty we'll rotted down. we
have to spread little thinner than
here described in order to make II

II. II. Chittenden, Assistant Entomol-
ogist OF the Department OF Agricul-
ture. gives the following advice on the
destruction OF the roundheaded apple
tree borer:
Destroying the adult insects
mature beetles are shy, and so seldom
seen on this account. that It is doubt
full II any method OF destroying them g
feasible. They are attracted to lights
NJ night TO some extent, and some meet
their end In this way. Very early In
the morning, Immediately after day
break, the beetles may be found upon
the trees. II sought for in their season,
and may then be beaten of into an in
yerted umbrella by striking the
branches with stout stick.
Kerosene as a remedy,-A great va
riety OF substances have been recon-
mended to kill the borers In the trees,
but up to the present time only a few
have given satisfaction. For the bene-
1t OF those who have not had expert
snce with this borer II may be neces-
sary to state that II is Of no avail what
ever to inject kerosene or any other In
sscticide into the round holes made by
the bestlas In their escape from the
trees. A correspondent OF this diyl-
sion, Mr.. T. b. Ashton, who has had
many years experience with this bor-
or, states that there Is no better way Of
effectually putting a stop to the depre-
cations OF this and similar borers than

so,, Adapted to Strawberries.

II. Il. Mckay says: A few growers
fully understand this fact. but many.
apparently intelligent. seem not to I'M
derstand how great these differences
really are, and are disappointed when
they fail to do as we'll as others. Too
little has been said by many writers on
the strawberry, about the soils best
suited to the health and growth OF the
plant, and the perfection and beauty
OF the fruit. The wonderful ease and
facility with which the berry adapts
Itself to different soils and ATTITUDES,
coupled with the fact that even In an
Imperfect condition II Is satisfactory In
appearance and taste to most persons
may In part be the cause Of this over
sight. We do not agree with the gem
orally received opinion. as taught by
many writer's, that sandy loan gives
either the largest yield or finest fruit.
Possibly in the North and West such
may be true, but in the south our larg-
est yields and finest berries are OBJ
tanned from a clay loan. While 1t is
true that berries grown on a sandy
loan are often as large and apparently
as firm and we'll colored as on clay
loan, It is equally true that they are
deficient in that solidity. strength Of
color and general makeup that the
same varieties possess grown on the
clay loan. All the acts. so far as we
have been able to gather them, point
to the general conclusion that, all other
things being equal. the strength, beau
ty and perfection OF the berry is dimin-
ished In proportion as free sand exists
In the soil; not that any of our good
land is without sand, but we use the
term free sand where It readily sep
arates and can be seen in the branches
and little gullles.

Every creameryman receiving milk
from his patrons should insist upon
each Sas-easnisAslpg first-class raw.
produC as that Is the only way In
which flrst-class product can be de-
livered from the creamery, says Elgin
Dairy report. The fear that many
creamerymen have that II they do not
receive the milk the other creamery
man will. is based on the wrong prin-
clples OF business. As long as you In
sist upon having good milk to start
with, you will have a uniformly good
product, II you are doing the work at
your end of the line correctly. The
other fellow taking the bad milk will
not have always good product, and
therefore cannot pay prices that you
can AFFORD to pay the patrons, and II
this continues long enough on that
same basis, the time will come when
you will have the good patrons-those
who care for the milk properly--and
the other fellow will have the poor
ones; and either he or the patrons will
have to go out of business, or both. We
believe II Is possible for the creamery
men to do very much to increase the
quality Of the raw product as well as
the quantity delivered. BY encourage
ing the patrons In making q better and
higher grade OF milk. you will be en-
abled to make a more uniform and
higher grade product. getting more
money therefor. and that encourages
the farmers to produce more and bet
ter milk. This Is one Of the live ques-
lions of the day in connection with the
dairy industry. There is a consider
able amount Of discussion among pa
irons Of creameries because OF the low
prices paid for milk. II is true butter
and cheese have been ruling low for
the last year. but compared with other
agricultural products. they have held
their own very well. and have been
more uniform in price than any other
agricultural product. Creamerymen
certainly owe It to themselves and the
industry to see to 1t that they do moth
ing to lower not only the standard of
the product that they make, but the
standard OF the raw product from
which they must produce their goods.
Educate your farmers along the line
OF better milk. and you will have edu-
Gated them along the line OF a larger
supply. That is what each creamery.

G. II. Sessions, in an address to Cal
ifornia dairymen. said:
There is n great variety OF opinion as
TO best time Of seeding. We have sowed
at all times from November or Decem-
Der to April and have had good and
poor success. II depends on the sea-
son. and nothing can be told OF them
beforehand. think 1t best to SOW ear
ly. say after a good rain, as soon as
the ground has become dry enough to
work easily, and then. II from frosts or
scanty early rains the stand Is a fall
ure, there is plenty Of time to prepare
the ground and put In another crop,
hoping there will be plenty OF late
rains to give II start. There Is no
danger from frosts after the third
leaves have started. Some claim that
ten to fifteen pounds OF seed to the acre
is sufficient. but we prefer twenty-five
to thirty pounds. II 1t all grew the
small amount would be all right. but
conditions are SO liable to prevent all
from growing that l prefer to pay a
little more money for seed and insure
good stand. II the stand is thin 1t
is not the easiest thing to thicken II
up successfully, but II the seed come
up too thick It is a survival OF the
fittest," and the weaker stalks are
killed out leaving a good. thick and
even stand. which makes the best quail
ity OF hay.
Sowing Alfalfa with Wheat.-For a
nurse crop in starting alfalfa nothing
is better than very light crop OF
wheat, say thirty-fve pounds seed per
acre. II a greater amount Of seed is
used. the wheat will come up so thick
as to smother the alfalfa, or II 1t grows
It will be so tender that as soon as the
wheat Is cut II will wither and die.
II the wheat should be too thick 1t
must not be left until grown enough
for hay. but cut and removed earlier.
Some prefer nothing but weeds for pro-
lection. but 1t will cost no more to
grow light crop OF wheat. and what Is
taken on will be good feed while the
weeds will have to be thrown away.
