In South America the retail price for
the better grades of chocolate averages
about 81 a pound, while in Italy,
France, England and in the United
States the better grades sell at a much
lower price. In America the ordinary
chocolate of trade sells for about one
third of the price that is charged for it
where it is produced. The cause of
this, the producers say, is that the
original product is adulterated greatly
before reaching its final market,
cheaper article than the cocoa bean
constituting the large proportion of 90
per cent of the chocolates of commerce.
The cocoa bean from which chocolate
is manufactured is produced in it's fin
est form in Venezuela, though various
other parts of Central and South Amer
lea grow and export large quantities.
Two crops of the bean are gathered
each year, and the manufacture con-
sists simply in grinding up the beans
into meal and then adding sugar and
arrowroot, with the necessary flavor,
usually vanilla or cinnamon. The mass
is moistened until it is in a semifuid
state, after which it is run into molds
of the proper shape.

Whit to Do With Bones.

This question of how to use bones is
asked very often. Rural New Yorker
answers: You cannot make fine bone
meal on the farm without a steamer
and powerful grinder. You can soften
the bones by packing them in layers
with wood ashes. Put an eight inch
layer of broken bones at the bottom of
a box or barrel. Then put layer Of
unleached wood ashes, then more
bones, and so on to the top. Keep the
whole mass we'll wetted with liquid
manure or urine. In 80 days the bones
will be quite soft and can be smashed
with maui or heavy shovel. This will
not equal the fine ground bone which
the manufacturers sell, but is about the
best you can do on the farm.

We do not believe in deep cultivation
for corn after it has grown more than
three or four inches high. By that
time it has begun to seed its roots out;
hence to work the soil deep after this
has begun is to break those roots and
to check the growth. There may be q
period in the growth Of plant or tree
when a root pruning is beneficial, but
so little is known about it that we do
not care to experiment with 1t in a
haphazard way. But in year like the
present deep cultivation is likely to
break more corn roots than in dry
and warmer season. The corn root needs
moisture, but not too much, and 1t de-
lights in the heat of the sun. 1t Is
thus likely to run much nearer the sur
face than it would have done If we
had been favored with more warm days
and less rain. Working the soil as
deep as the manure used will make 1t
fertile before planting the seed and as
thoroughly as possible after the corn
begins to grow, but not more than
three inches deep between the rows,
and in a season like this we would pre-
fer not to go more than two inches
deep, says American CultivatOr.

some Late Paintings and Their Out
come-CeIery, Radishes and Beans.

COIhC-SSIcESJ hduIshCS hhu
After the early peas were picked and
the potatoes dug the land on which
they were grown was cleared Of vines,
plOwed with one horse plow and pull
verified by means of the narrow tooth
cultivator and one horse planker. 1t
was then planted to late crops, as fol-
lows: One-half row celery, one and
one-half rows turnips, One-half row
winter radish, one-quarter row spinach
and one-quarter row lettuce. This was
on July %. On the same day string
beans were planted In the space pre-
viously occupied by the early planting
of the same crop This half row was
not replowed. The old vines were sim
ply hoed off wnd the ground hoed over.
A few cucumbers for pickles were also
planted in the vacant spaces among
the early cucumbers.
For the celery furrow was opened
with the one horse pillow, and the plants,
which had been grown In a seed bed,
were set in the bottom of the furrow.
A few days after the plants were set
heavy rain washed the dirt into the
furrow and nearly buried them. The
earth had to be loosened around each
plant by means Of knife. Not many
days later another heavy rain necessi-
tated a repetition of the operation. AS
the celery grew the furrow was gradu-
ally filled up by means of the cultivator
and hoe. When the plants were about
a foot high, they were handled" and
earthed up for blanching. The stalks
err and held with one hand while earth
was packed about the base of the plant
with the other hand. Then earth was
drawn up to the plant with hoe until
only the tops of the leaves were left
exposed. Two weeks later it was nee
essary to again bank up the plants,
since they had grown considerably in
| that time. 1t was then past the mid
die of October, and no further banking
was necessary to blanch the stalks.
The spinach and lettuce planted July
% failed to grow. The turnips did well
until about the LIST of September when
the hot weather caused the leaves to
turn yellow at the tips and finally die.
The crop was almost an entire failure.
A few peas planted Aug. IS on the
land previously occupied by early cab
bage made a very dwarf but healthy
growth and produced small crop ear
| ly in October.
Of the late planted vegetables the
celery, winter radishes, beans and Gu
cumbers produced satisfactory crops,
so that, although some of the crops
failed, the late planting as a whole was
not improbable.

was perfectly fined and mellowed to
the depth of five or six inches, except
the check or No. 2 plat, which was
given only the ordinary preparation Of
the average farmer.
The seed cut to two eyes was planted
with an application of high grade COM
plete potato manure on both plats. In
few days the weeder was used on
plat No. 1, followed by three harrow
ings at intervals. After that nitrate Of
soda was applied, followed by two
civilizations on each of the two sue
ceeding weeks and another application
of nitrate of soda the following week.
Bordeaux mixture was used, further
cultivation given, and a third applica-
ton of nitrate was given just as the
vines came into bloom.
Plat No. 2 was cultivated four times,
had one application of paris green, but
no bordeaux or nitrate.

In Ohio ground beetles have been de-
structive to strawberries in the same
field for three successive seasons. They
enjoy a diet of the seed, varied also Of
tentimes with the delicious pulp. Evil
dence is to the effect that they are ca
pable of running whole crop in few
days.
Professor Slingerland of the Cornell
IN. W station suggests as remedies to
keep the strawberry patch and nearby
fields as free as possible from ragweed,
whose seeds are favorite food for the
beetles; also the use of a bright trap
lantern set in pan of water and kerr
osene, but he concludes that "a sure,
practicable, although laborious, meth
cd is to hand pick or collect the bee
ties from their hiding places during the
day under Jumps of dirt or just be-
meath the surface of the soil near the
base Of the plants. The removal of the
mulch would facilitate this In many
cases."

Patience and Push the Sure Way to
Profitable Poultry Business.

Poultry and egg raising is eminently
adapted to the person with small capt.
tai who is anxious that the investment
pay without running too great risk.
One may begin in the most humble
way in poultry raising, and then gradu-
ally increase the size of the plant as
conditions warrant. 1t is really a case
of learning business while slowly in
vesting capital in it. And this Is really
the best and most sensible way of APP
preaching the business. To start in
with all the capital invested at first.
and then learn later by bitter expert
ence, is just the way to get discour-
aged and find that there is no money
in the business.
With the smallest amount of capital
one can go into the business, especially
If there is a suitable place at hand for
the work. One can rent small poul-
try farm and then learn by experience,
even raising fruits and vegetables the
first few years to help pay the expenses
of living. Ultimately, however, the
ambition should be placed on chicken
and egg raising for the purpose of mas.
tering it as speciality.
Let one begin with 80 hens and find
out the first season what can be done
with that number. From this stock he
can prepare his next seasons increase
without further calling upon his CAPT
tai. By method of exchange Of eggs
with neighbors near or distant new
blood can be introduced, and there will
not be much danger of close inbreeding
In many places there Is a regular
system Of exchange Of eggs in this way
and at veN little expense new breed,

80 hens of the first season the fiocl
can be increased to 200 for the second

People who only know the gayer side
Of Dieppe would be surprised to hear
of the existence of the cave dwellers
there. One is apt to connect such peo-
pie with the knawed bones and flint
implements of prehistoric times. But
here they are at Dieppe within stones
throw Of the casino, and they may be
seen any day about the town selling
the shellfsh from the rocks outside
their habitations. They have certain
marked characteristics, one being Pc
,culiar complexion Of their own that
can be traced largely to disinclina-
ton on the part Of the cave dweller to
avail himself of the water that washes
so close to his door. Their language
also is peculiar, but whether it really
belongs to the stone age no one seems
to have discovered. They have to hold
a license from the municipality, though,
which savors Of no age but the present.

500 for the third year. The fourth
year he might go up to 700 or 800 and
the fifth season round out the business
with an even 1000. When you have
reached that number, the plant is
pretty good sized one, and its further
increase must be made gradually. There
are poultry farms of 5000 and 10000
hens, but the owners have learned by
careful experience how to handle such
numbers in the most economical way.
Any beginner, Of course, can grow up
to such proportions if he has the push

sense which enables him to raise and
sell to the best possible advantage,

Sweeping Back the River.

Some time ago two hulking hOboes
who had just dismounted from a Cen
trial freight train asked a Yonkers man
for loan Of 10 cents to secure some
food. He took them to a restaurant
and promised to provide them with
work as soon as they had finished eat
ing. When they reported for work, he
said: Boys, my cellars full of water,
and l want you to pump 1t out. I've
fixed these hand pumps right here on
the sidewalk. Never mind the people.
When they come along and ask ques-
lions, just you say nothing, but pump
till the waters out of the cellar. Keep
cool. Don't hurry, but pump, and 1
will pay you we'll"
Now, a tributary to the Nepperhan
river ran through this mans store cell
lar and out under the sidewalk, and the
pumps reached down into the river.
The water pumped out by the hoboes
ran into the sewer and back into the
Nepperhan, but as the sidewalk was
tightly tagged the bumpers didn't
know the size of their job.
The street became damned with spec
tators, who roared with merriment as
they watched the hoboes. All but the
men at the pumps knew what was up.

Two Good Crops Grown Togetner
Sow About the Middle of July.


Sow About the Middle of July.
l have been sowing turnip seed in
my cornfeld for nearly so years. One
year l sowed 80 pounds Of seed on 30
acres and harvested about 10000 bush
els of turnips and a good crop of corn,
SAYS a writer in Orange Judd Farmer.
Plant the corn in straight rows and
keep the cultivator going until about
the middle of July, then SOW the tur-
nip seed directly after the last cultiva-
ton. If two or three dashing showers
fall in a week or so, no covering is
needed If my ground is ready and
showers are in prospect, l hasten to
SOW my seed. If no rain comes, the
seed must be lightly covered, much as
you would clover seed. Two or three
boards fastened together and drawn
between the rows of corn cover the
seed very nicely.
A strap leaved turnip Of the best
variety will grow almost anywhere
provided the plant can get start. L
want my turnips for feeding all the
way from September to February, and
want a lot of them. Bushel for BUSH
ell they are worth more than mangels
during this time. Give the cattle and
sheep plenty Of turnips, and no medi-
cine will be needed.
Turnips should be stored as near the
stock as possible, so they can be easily
fed. Any place where ventilation can
be controlled and where frosts can be
kept out will answer. / have a cellar
under the driveway Of my barn 16 by
80 by 10 feet which | have filled with
roots more than once. Be careful, how
ever, not to put any turnips into your
cellar after they have been out on the
ground on frosty night. A few bush
els injured by freezing will start heat
that will destroy all of them.

Saving Roasting Ears From Worms

The only method known to me for
protecting the sweet corn or roast
ing ear crop from the attack Of early
worms is to cut off the ends Of the
roasting ear husk with a sharp knife
and throw the tops into a basket and
burn them. This should be done
about a week or ten days before the
ear is ready for market. The judg-
ment and observation of the grower
can determine just the right time for
this operation, and in many cases it
will save the entire roasting ear crop.

England,s Old Common Field System

A common field" is quite distinct
from common" 1t is a field be-
longing to numerous owners. The land
consists Of long narrow strips, perhaps
not more than ten yards wide and run
ming parallel with one another. What
are the exact rules of cultivation that
obtain in Kent today we do not know,
but of old 1t was usual to have regu-
lar rotation, such as wheat one year,
barley or oats the second and fallow
the third. When the crops were har-
vested, each member of the community
getting his or her share, all could put
in their cattle, which roamed over the
whole field, feeding on the stubble, etc.
And this was termed the fright Of
sack" The common field" system was
gradually done away with by statutes
in the reigns of George III and Will
liam IV.-London Express.
