FERTlLiZlNG IN THE FALL.

Feed the strawberry md the Grain.
Corn Fertilizer For Small Fruits.
l believe in feeding the strawberry
heavily in late summer and fall, says
Editor Collingwood in The Rural New
Yorker.
The fruit buds which are to produce
next years crop are started and form
ed usually during September or Octo-
Der. Some growers believe that the
crop is completed from bud to berry
in the short spring season. That is an
error, l am sure. The fruit buds will
be formed in the next sixty days, and
the plant must truly work like sixty"
to produce them. 1t will need potash
and phosphoric acid in particular.
shall use corn fertilizer on all the small
fruits.
What other plants should be fer
tilted in the fall? The fall grain
should be fed. Where one is using
chemicals | think most of the potash
and phosphoric acid might well be
spread in fall or winter provided some
green crop is left to grow. On our
billy farm it would be folly to use
much nitrogen in the fall. If | were
to use stable manure in the fall,
should pillow it in and not leave it on
top of the ground. On level land or
that with Il gentle slope this advice
would not be entirely sound.

& PROFITABLE PASTURES.
English Farmers Get Good Returns
From Every square Inch of Land.

One of the surprising things in farm
Ing is the gradual development of land
to point where it will yield returns
never dreamed of by the early cult
vators, says American Cultivator. over
in parts of England and Scotland farm
ers and dairymen make a living from
pasture lands which have an assessed
valuation of $500 and $500 an acre.
They do this when prices for the prod
ucts are no greater than American
farmers receive. The secret of their
success is necessity. They have been
forced to make every square inch OF
soil pay its highest profit, and as a re-
suit they have some of the finest pas
lures in the world. The sod is so thick
and compact that it is almost impossl-
bic to cut through it. The roots form
a solid mass in the soil, and the grass
grows luxuriantly, even defying dry
weather, and produce good crops in
spite of close cropping late in the sea-
son, when frost ordinarily kills less
successful pasture. The thing of 1t Is
the farmers have cultivated the soil,
planted and replanted grass seeds,
dressed the pastures repeatedly with
fertilizers and made them in every way
productive and fertile. The soil is not
more adapted naturally to pastures
than millions of acres in this country
which today produce only Indifferent
crops of grass. The soil is made arti-
ficially rich, and the sod is the result of
careful, intensive farming.
So it is these English farmers make
a profit from land worth ten times as
much in money valuation as the pas
ture fields of this country. Now, II 1t
is possible to improve pasture fields SO
that they will produce like these Eng
lish ones, what an enormous profit
awaits the American farmers who will
improve their fields to the same pro-
ductive fertility! Instead Of being
forced to pay interest on an investment
of $500 an acre the average dairyman
in this land would have to pay only on
$40 to $50 per acre. All the rest would
represent profit.

SEED CORN.
Butts, MiddIes or Tips-A Pointer For
Corn Growers.

Butts, Mfdd1es or Tips-A Pointer For
Corn Growers.
According to the Ohio experiments,
there is no practical difference in the
yield from either butts, mddles or tips
of ears of corn and no difference in the
number of barren stalks.
a contributor to Wallace's Farmer
says: "Of course not. Why should
there be? But if they had mixed butts,
tips and middles together and planted
them they would have had a better
yield. Their experiment shows nothing
more than that butts, tips and middles
when planted separately are each one
as good as the others. This l have al
ways claimed. However, to increase
the yield and have the ears fill out at
each end the corn of the entire ear
should be planted. The grains from the
butt being a little later and those from
the tips a little earlier, the period Of
polarization is thereby prolonged, and
better results are thus obtained"
This is valuable information to every
corn grower. The longer the period Of
polarization the more perfect are the
results. The tip kernels give the earlier
and the butt the later, and the why is
made manifest of IA larger yield by
planting the kernels from the whole
ear mixed together This fact seems
established, and once lodged in the
mind of tl& corn grower he will no
longer feed the tips and butts of his
seed corn.-Southern Ruralist.

The fame of the white shell roads of
south Jersey has recently attracted
widespread attention to the possibilities
of oyster shells in this direction. The
wonder is not that they SHOULD have
become so deservedly popular, but that
they should have only recently come
into general use in this connection
where oyster shells have long been Sc
plentiful that great quantities have
been wasted in past years, says the
Philadelphia Press.
1t was not until the oyster industry
recently became famous at Buena Wis

DOMAIN.

For nearly two years officers have been
on the lookout for Newton DOMAIN, who
was thought to have been the principle in
the mysterious murder of old man Adam
Kessler and the cremation of Kessler S
housekeeper, Mrs. DOMAIN, and beating
the hired man until he was left for dead.
One or two people have been arrested
believed at the time to have been DOMAIN,
and one or two others have professed to
have been him, but the truth is that no
one has really seen DOMAIN since he so
mvsteriously disappeared on the night OF
the murder.
Constable Hendrickson of Maryland
now claims to have information that salts
fies him beyond a doubt that the same
hands that were stained with the Llood OF
Kessler and that set fire to the house and
cremated the body of the helpless woman
also let out the life blood of Newton Do
man and that they buried the remains
away in the mountain fastness. If he
succeeds in locating the place where Do
man is alleged TO have been buried it will
form the necessary link in chain of
circumstances that may even at this late
day lead to the arrest and conviction OF
the gang who it is believed, not only per-
petrated the Kessler crime, but who were
connected with the Norris murder in the
lower end of this county, and the beating
and robbing of old man Mccullough and
wife at Three Locks.
