News and Notes.

The United States department of
agriculture has in press and will soon
issue bulletin No. Y, Office Of expert
ment stations, entitled Farmers
Reading Courses" The bulletin was
prepared by Professor L. Il. Bailey,
NJ. S.. professor Of horticulture in Cor
nell university, and gives a history Of
the organization Of farmers reading
courses, which have become an i'm
portant factor among the agencies for
difusing knowledge and promoting
enthusiasm among the farmers. The
bulletin contains lists Of books used in
various reading courses.
No marked crop departure from the
ten year average is noted for n of
the principal tobacco growing states
this season, says the crop circular.
The indicated average yield per acre
of potatoes, according to government
reports. is 1871 bushels per acre, as
compared with 1852 bushels last year,

A bill to impose an export duty of
$500 on every Angora goat leaving
Cape Colony has passed to a second
reading in the colonial parliament and
will doubtless become a law. Severe
penalties are provided for a violation
Of the law, which is applicable to both
male and female Angoras. It begins
to look Is If the government Of Cape
Colony was determined to put an end
to the further expectation Of Angoras.
Are the Angora breeders afraid Of the

Points From Secretary Wilson's Re-
port For $500.
Much work has been undertaken on
behalf Of tobacco, looking to as wide
a substitution as possible OF home
grown for imported product, by i'm.
proving the quality of the former. In-
teresting Investigations as to the
causes affecting flavor and aroma are
being carried on.
From II study OF the imports of Den
mark, especially Of American grains
ana oilcake, the secretary concludes
strongly against a policy which steril-
lies II lands at the same time that
1t supplies other countries with the
means Of producing meats and dairy
products for foreign markets which
We could ourselves supply.
The interesting fact is noted that the
tea gardens ut Summcrvillc produced
5000 pounds Of tea the past season.
Irrigation experiments, improvement
Of varieties by importation and by
hybridizatlon, are indicated as impor-
tant steps to be studied.
In regard to public lands the secre-
tary deplores the ill results of inju-
dicious grazing due to the Indifference
Of the occupiers under the present sys-
TEN. He advocates leasing in large
areas and for q sufficient time to in
vite improvement and suggests that
the revenue from such leases might
be turned V to the states for edu-
cational purposes or irrigation.
or the abandoned farms Of New
England he says that they are not
abandoned on account of stcrility: that
they will be studied by the soil physi-
cist, agrOstologist and the forester,
and the valuable suggestions resulting
from their studies will be distributed
throughout New England.
The secretary discusses the subject
of irrigation ut considerable length,
giving strong reasons for Il general
study of the whole subject. He points
II the wide difference in laws and
methods prevailing in the different
states dependent upon irrigation and
states that most important rivers have
streams supplying irrigation to half q
dozen states. Inevitably, under these
circumstances. differences will arise
calling for legislation by congress,
which should. therefore, be put in
possession of all the facts affecting
this important subject rs early as pos.
siblc. He also points out that the use.
fulncss Of this investigation is by no
means limited to the arid region, but
that irrigation could be profitably en-
ployed in large areas in the eastern
and southern states.
Our imports of oranges, lemons, CO.
coanuts, bananas, and especially cot
fee, Of which in 1898 we imported over
$G5,O0O.O00 worth, could, in large part,
be produced in Porto Rico. The secre.
tary especially recommends expert.
ments in the production Of india rub.

pendent upon Brazil.

known Of it's history is that it came
into favor with orchard planters in the
southwest, and the name travelled
with the tree. In the markets of Phil

Its ruddy cheeks on a pale yellow

into bearing as some kinds, like the

sTAKED AND PIsUNED TOMATO VINES.
fields and kept busy pruning too. This
method Of culture has been syStcmat-
ically tested by the New Jersey expert
ment station, but the success in the
the south.
In the first place, the tomatoes are
planted in rows three and one-half feet
apart and three feet apart in the rows,
which would be close for ordinary field
work, where the plants lie on the
ground. The plants are cared for in
the usual manner until they begin to
bend over with their own weight. Then
six foot stakes rived out of pine are
pushed firmly or driven into the
ground after a softcning rain and the
plants tied closely to them with Il
piece Of ordinary white wrapping
string ten inches long. Next every
plant is pruned, and every sucker is
pulled out, leaving only single stems
with no limbs. In a short time, with
rapid growth, another tying is ncccs-
sary, care being taken to tic the fruit
bunch OH the outside, so as not to rub
against the stake. Almost constant
pruning is necessary.
The effect of this cultivation is to
force the crop ahead of the rest about
six days. The tomatoes grow to Il
large size. and the fruit clusters make
an almost continuous line the height Of
the stake. The fruit is where it gets
plenty Of light and air, and there is 10
rottins and practically no sun rcald-
Ing. 1t is also easily picked. no time
heinH lost in looking for ripe fruit.
With tomatoes bringing from So
down to 50 a crate this method pays
we'll. but it is hardly Of any practical
value in the northern tomato field for
the main crop. However. the plan has
Il number Of advantages for the home
garden or patch. concludes IL writer in
Farm and Fireside in an article from
which these items and Illustration are
reproduced.

POTATO
The shovel plow is bolted to Il solid 3
by 3 piece about two feet long, the 9TH
CIR end Of which is placed solidly
against the under side Of the tongue
and hinged SO that it can be raised and
lowered by Il lever to which the point
is attached by Il chain. The lever is
shown just in front Of the wheel and
near the whiilletrees. A rude box of
three or four bushels capacity is built
between and over the wheels, slanting
toward the seat, so that, as the pot:l-
toes are used out Of the rear end, those
remaining will roll toward the opera
tor. always keeping within his easy
inches square leads from the rear Of
the box to the furrow behind the plow-
The operator sits at his ease on the
spring seat, picking up the potatoes
and dropping them at regular intervals
into the spout. l find it works better
to take only one piece in the hand ut q
time, dropping in the spout with one
hand while reaching after a seed piece
with the other. The spout is followed
by the coverers, which leave the
ground slightly ridged owe the seed.
A cross narrowing just before the
sprouts begin to show leaves the
ground level and in fine condition.
The front end of the frame to which
the coverers are attached is hinged to
the two rear upright pieces which sup
port the box. A lever is beside the
seat to raise and lower the coverers at
the end Of the rows. The coverer frame
should be hung low at the front end,
and the Killers must be set Just the
right distance apart and ut just the
right angle.
A little trouble arose at first in this
respect. One seed piece when drop
ped would stop just where it first
touched the ground and the next one
might roll or jump ahead q foot or
more, thus making them lie at un-
equal distances when dropped evenly
In point Of time. This was overcome
by mailing to the front and sides of the
lower end Of the spout a piece Of an
old rubber bootleg which touched the
bottom Of the furrow. Then the seed
had to stay right where it dropped.

and lower the plow at the ends, anoth-
er man to feed the machine and op-
crate the lever which controls the COW
erers and a team which walks not too
rapidly can mark, furrow. drop and
cover five or six acres in a day. The
machine does not work satisfactorily
on billy land. 1t will work up or down
the hill all right, but going sidewise it
Is inclined to slide.

A RABBIT TRAP.

1T Is a rapid firing gun and catches
both going and coming and always re-
sets itself. A hole should be dug in
the ground to receive a box or barrel
and deep enough SO the top is just even
with the surface Of the ground. The
trap is then placed on the box with
the fall doors directly over it. Cover
the sides Of the box on each side Of
the trap and throw a few weeds or
brush over it all, leaving the ends of
the trap uncovered, and your work ia
complete. No bait is required. The
rabbits are attracted by the brush
heap, and when once there they see
the opening and try to pass through it
and are trapped. To make the trap
take two boards / by 8, 3k or four feet
long, for the sides and two boards 1 by
4, 4 feet long, for the top and bot
ton. The top and sides should be nall
ed together first, then saw the bot
tom board, leaving the fall doors each
about a foot long. Do not saw SQUARE
across, but leave a bevel, so that the
doors will catch when they fall back

The Worlds wheat Crop.

According to Broomhall: Worlds
wheat crop Of 1899, 2,496, 10000 BUSH
els; worlds wheat crop of 1898, 1885,
144,OOO bushels; worlds wheat crop Of
1897, 2~,269,352,000 bushels. This makes
the crop Of 1899 fall short Of that Of
last year by $50, 744,OOO bushels, though
exceeding that Of 1897 by 227,O4S,OOO
~bushels-that is, according to Broom
halls estimate, it is considered better
than the very short crop of 1897, but
decidedly nearer to that than to the
large one of 1898.
