Pigs and the manure heap have given
rise to considerable discussion Of late.
The average farmer cleans his pigpen
but once a week. If he has the time, q
handful of bedding is tossed In one
corner after cleaning. This is quickly
worked over by the pigs, so that by the
second day they have a wet floor for a
bed. So the filth increases until that
convenient day when the pen can be
cleaned again. The up to date farmer
throws bedding from his cows and
horses into the pen. This gives the pigs
good bedding twice daily, so that they
always have a supply. The man who
throws his manure without the bedding
into the pen has certainly missed his
calling as a first class farmer.

Craving Table Reets.

Upon sandy loan land which had
been for ten years heavily manfred
and cropped with table bects and Gel
cry II was found by the New Jersey
station that the use of nitrate OF soda
in amounts varying from 400 to 100
pounds per acre, in three equal appli-
cations, FASTENED the maturing OF the
crop. At the first pulling and making
of two pound lunches there was G3
per cent more OH nitrated plots than on
those without the nitrate. AT second
pulling four days later, the nitrated
plots gave l35 per cent more punches,
and at third pulling, three days later,
there was III per cent more, after
which they produced about equal
amounts. The greatest gain per acre
by use of nitrate was where they used
700 pounds per acre, $27.1O more than
where nitrate was not used. This was
due to the higher price obtained for
the earlier pullings and amounted to
about So for every dollar the nitrate

the artichoke is the most valuable root
for feeding, as. though it has but 20
pounds of dry matter In 100 pounds,
while the potato has more than q
pounds, it has more than double the
amount of protein that the potato has,
and itl feeding value is reckOned at

No garden can be considered COM

bloom In midsummer and are In all
ways more desirable than the old,
large, very double sorts, whose chief
merit Is richness Of color. To grow
