H. L. Dean of Illinois says: / con-
slider good and thorough culture of the
utmost Importance in growing fruits
successfully. First getting your
ground in the best possible condition
before setting out your plants or vines
and then frequently stirring and
loosening the ground during the grow
ing season. Now this Is not only nee
essary during the growing season be-
fore your trees and vines come into
bearing but especially is 1t true that
during their fruiting the ground must
be frequently stirred and kept pulver-
lied, in order to have the best results
when gathering your fruits. BY thus
keeping your ground in loose, pill
able condition you counterfeit, in a
measure, the effect of drouths and en-
able your fruit to keep on growing and
to some extent prevent their dropping.
Another condition also noticed, be-
tween orchards cultivated and those
not cultivated the last few years, and
one think the fruit grower will fully
appreciate is this; the orchards that
have been down to grass for number
of years and have been bearing fairly
good crops Of fruit as their owners
say, without any cultivation, are run
ming down noticeably while those
which have been thoroughly cultivated
are improving every year. This Is
gratifying to the orchardist and look
ing at his orchard he knows he has
been well repaid for all work put on
1t. The fruit grower must watch his
trees and ought to be able to tell
whether his trees or vines are thirty
ing as well as the stock man who goes
around amongst his stock, can tell how
his stock is growing. If your trees
are not doing as well as you think
they ought you can improve their con-
dition by judicious fertilizing, and es-
pecially will it do wonders on young
trees.

Some Glover Facts.

Cloyers are among our most valu-
able forage plants, but they will not
Withstand the extremes of drouth and
heat that prevail over large sections
of the west every year and in other
sections of the same region some
years. Being soil renovators they can
be grown in rotation with other crops
to advantage. On account of the large
amount of protein they contain they
have high feeding value. There are
several varieties of clovers grown in
this country, among which are the fol-
lowing:
Red clover Curriculum pratense) -
This is the most common variety, and
is grown successfully in the north
wherever the supply of moisture is suf-
ficient. In dry sections it becomes un-
certain. Some call 1t perennial, but
1t is scarcely more than biennial, its
perennial character being often as
sumed by new plants springing up
from seeds dropped by the plants each
year. 1t makes good hay, but is I'M
suited for permanent pasture. When
1t is desired to use it for pasture, as
single plant, it is necessary to TO-
tate, keeping the clover pasture in one
place for not more than two years.
Mammoth clover Curriculum medium)
resembles red clover, but has no
spots on the leaves. 1t is adapted to
more moist land than is red clover
and under favorable conditions will
give a larger yield.
Alsike clover Is a perennial clover
whose appearance suggests hybrid
between red and white clover, but 1t is
not hybrid. 1t will thrive on soil toe

soil is probably not to be so highly

keeping it balanced and safe from cap"
sizing is said to be effected by the
principle which is illustrated in tho
flight of birds.
The box containing the engine or
generating electric batteries is
at the bottom of the machine. Above
1t is the basket or car for the passen-
ger Two elevating wheels crown the
device and the propelling wheel is at
tached to the center tube. The wheels
are of the fan or windmill pattern.
Just above the point where the pro-
polling wheel is attached to the center
tube a rudder blade is attached.
Two elevating wheels revolve In OPP
posite directions and serve to over
come the whirling motion. The pro-
polling wheel and the rudder are of
equal weight, one working in front
and the other behind the machine,
causing the machine to proceed stead
lily through the air. The ascent and
descent is controlled by adjusting the
rate of speed Of the elevating wheels.
The rudder is operated by a hand lever
extending into the passenger car, and
enables the guiding of the course of
the machine. The propelling wheel
directs the forward motion of the ma
chine. The elevating and the propel-
ling wheel act independently of each
other and enable the raising of the
machine without any forward motion.

A communication from the Illinois.
Experiment Station says that the av-
erage per cent of smut in Illinois oat
fields as determined by several care
full counts in over sixty counties OF
the state last year, was IA per cent.
Illinois produces the largest amount
of oats of any state in the union or
about 1874, 900, 900 bushels for 1900. Max
ing liberal allowances for variation
in estimates of yield and per cent of
smut the loss to the farmers OF our
state from smut was not far from
S. OO0, 900 or about S45 for every forty
acre oat field. This loss can be en-
tirely prevented at a very slight ex-
pense by the hot water or formaiin
treatment of the seed.
Hot Water Treatment.-Thea ppar-
atus needed for this treatment consists
of an ordinary scalding kettle or any
arrangement for heating water, bar
rel, several gunny sacks and an ac-
curate thermometer.
The kettle should be partly filed
with 80 to go gallons of water and
heated until the temperature of the
water reaches 1877 degrees F. The
gunny sacks should be about half oiled
with one bushel of seed oats after they
have been famed and cleaned. Dip
the sack of oats into the hot water,
taking care to keep the sack complete
ly under water and stirring it gently
to keep the water circulating through
every part of the sack. Treat for i've
minutes at from between 1872 and 137
degrees F. After treating dip imme-
diately into the barrel filled with cold
water. This will cool the oats off
| quickly and prevent over heating in
the center of the sack
About two pecks by measure Of the
wet oats should be added to the
amount desired to be sowed per acre,
to make up for the swollen seed. The
wet oats cannot be dried and should
be sown Immediately after treating, by
hand or with force seed drill. The
treating process quickens termination
and makes more vigorous plant, thus
increasing the yield independent Of the
destruction of the smut. 1t is advis-
able to treat a part of the seed this
year, SOW it apart from the general
crop, thresh separately and save this
seed for the general seeding the fol-
lowing year. The treatment need not
be repeated oftener than once in three
years at most.

Quails were formerly numerous in

MARSH HAWK ATTACKS QUAILS.
mon hawks in the middle west are the

marsh hawk, the sparrow hawk, the
broad-winged buzzard and the rough

The best known of the American
hawks are the red-tailed and Cooper's
varieties, for they are the ones that
bear the nickname 'hen hawk" and
they are the ones that cause havoc
among the fowls. The red-tailed
hawk is larger than Cooper's hawk,
and likes to make its nest near to the
