CELERY BLIGHT.

Completely Controlled by Spraying.
Shading Is an Advantage.
Many failures with celery are due to
blight or rust. The most favorable con-
aitton for the fungus which causes it is
D period Of drought accompanied by
considerable heat and followed by
damp weather. The Maryland station
has made a study Of this trouble, and
from its reports the following is learn
ed:
With one plat of celery in 1899 a
framework 18 inches high was built

over the plat, and over the framework
was spread single thickness of mus
lin. The shading was begun about the
middle Of July, as soon as the plants
were placed in the beds, and was con-
t1nued throughout the entire hot season
of July and August. Early in Septem-
Der the weather turned cooler, and the
shading was then discontinued, since it
has been learned that the celery blight
fungus will not thrive In cool weather.
Just bow far the shading prevents the
fungus from growing or renders the
celery plants more vigorous and resist
ant it is difficult to determine.
In spraying experiments the same
year the best results were obtained
with the aIamoniacal carbonate of cop
per. This fungicide not only kept all
the healthy and new leaves free from
the fungus, but the plants grew better
than with any other treatment en-
ployed.
Bordeaux mixture gave results that
were in every way satisfactory except
that the plants were somewhat retard-
ed in their growth. This is Of course a
serious objection to the use of this fun
gicide, but it is not probable that the
dwarfng Of the plants would have been
so great If the sprayings had been less
frequent and it is possible that the
results In controlling the disease would
have been just as satisfactory.
While shading is of considerable ad.
vantage to the plants, it does not pre-
vent the attacks and development Of
the blight fungus. It Is an interesting
question in this connection to know
what results could be obtained by a
combination Of shading and spraying.
It is not probable that there is dam
ger Of spraying too early, and it is i'm
portant to keep the leaves free from
fungus, which can only be done by
spraying before they are attacked. Ex-
perience shows they cannot be saved
after they are attacked.
The ammoniacal carbonate Of copper
used was prepared by placing one
ounce Of copper carbonate in just
enough water to dissolve 1t and then
diluting to nine gallons with ordi-
nary water from the well or the hy-
drant. The amount Of ammonia water
required to dissolve an ounce of cop
per carbonate is about one-half pint,
and this should be diluted with from
one and one-half to two quarts of wa
ter before the carbonate is placed In it.
It Is impossible to state just how much
commercial ammonia water will be re-
quired, but any excess of ammonia is
liable to burn the foliage.
Similar experiments were made In
1900, and, summing them all up, it ap-
pears that
Celery blight may be kept under COM
piete control by spraying either with
ammoniacal carbonate of copper or
with bordeaux mixture.
The spraying should be begun while
the plants are still in the seed bed and
New Ulm review., 1901-08-28

At a farmers institute in Illinois late
~ one of the delegates related his
brothers experience with ensilage. He
had been feeding it and shipping his
milk to Chicago, and when the ensilage
was gone his milk supply was reduced
20 per cent in two days. Mr.. 81. B.
Gurler of Dekalb, who is well known
as lecturer and writer on dairy
topics, said he had the same experience
last fall and he knew several other
large feeders who had found similar re-
suits when they changed from ensilage
to pasture. He thought the feed his
stock got in the pasture during three
months cost enough to have furnished
feed at the silo for a year. He received
less for what he had invested in the
pasture than from any other land ON
the farm. He has half dozen silos
and last year put up 750 tons OF en-
silage and had not got enough yet He
had carried ensilage over year in the
silo and could not see that it was not
Just as good for the COWS as that put
up the previous fall. He was once
called upon In Putnam county to act
as judge on butter exhibit He found
one lot that was a point higher in flavor
than any other and called attention to
it. After the meeting farmer claimed
that was his butter and said he fed no
fodder but ensilage and he had been
the laughing stock of the community
for doing SO.
Concerning SilaEe,
A properly built silo, either below or
above ground, cannot be otherwise
than success, and the question Of lo-
cation is one Of the local conditions ut
the barn, says Hoard Dairyman. If
pit silo is deeper tt.>;a six feet, it
should be provided with some method
Of ventilation while being filled to pre-
vent any danger from the possible pres
ence Of gas, which might, as it has in
several cases, prove fatal.
Sixteen cows will require about so
tons of silage for six months feeding,
contained in round silo IA by % feet.
Silage viii keep well without any COW
er. The upper six inches to foot will
act as cover, but as this upper layer
spoils, If it Is wished to prevent such
loss, the silage may be covered with
straw or marsh hay foot or more in
thickness.
RoOping the SiIo.
A Is by 80 silo has a capacity Of 105
tons, and the best method Of hopping
is as follows: Six three e-quarter inch
hoops at the bottom, five five-e eighth
inch hoops in the middle and four one
half inch hoops at the top. The hoops
should be in two or three pieces, con-
nected by malleable iron not cast iron)
lugs, which allow for the necessary
contraction and expansion. Such a
hopping arrangement is abundantly
strong. Already too many silos have
burst from insufficient hopping and
thus prejudiced people against them.
Durability of Stave SfIos.
As to the durability of round staye
silo I believe that If properly taken
care Of they will last 20 years and even
longer, says an expert. By proper care
mean that they must have coat Of
oil and good wood preservative on the
inside once every two or three years
and paint on the exterior as often as
necessary. have seen round silos five
or six years old that have been treated
in this manner, and they show no signs
OF decay, being apparently as sound
as the day they were erected.

Burdocks are quite easily extermi-
mated by cutting them of just below

grown. Plaintain is much more diff

The Breeders Gazette gives the fol
lowing advice for Kidding pasture Of
wire grass: The grass in question is
an annual, and therefore it dies at the
end Of the season. Now, what must be
done Is to start some strong growing
perennial grass on the same land, so
that when the wire grass dies in the
fall the other grass will remain. on the
ground. No doubt the first year there
would be some places where the wire
grass you'd grow more rapidly than
the other, and it might even smother it
out here and there, but in year or two
OF this treatment the annual must dis
appear. A good grass to use for this
purpose is smooth bronze grass Bromus
inermis), Of which SO much has been
written in recent years. 1t would for
this purpose be a good plan to SOW a
little Kentucky blue grass with the
bronze grass, as the latter is so very
tenacious and spreading when it once
is firmly rooted IN the soil. 1t will be
necessary to break the sod somewhat
in order to give. the seeds Of these
grasses an opportunity to get their
roots started into the soil. Do not be
afraid of too heavy seeding. It pays
to give the ground plenty Of seed
Summer Fodder.
Cows should have good care from
the beginning to the end Of the year
and every day Of it, says Massachu-
setts Farmer. Only by SO doing can
best results be obtained. If the COW
be allowed to get very poor for want
of proper food or care. she will not re-
cover from it and be worth as much
throughout the entire year. In the
spring make from three to four differ
ent paintings Of fodder corn from one
to three weeks apart, chiefly for the
benefit of my cows during the summer
and fall months. My hogs and horses
come in for share. and. rightly fed,
they will enjoy it and be greatly bene-
fted thereby.

Boston Journal.
The fishing schooner Squantum,
Cant. William Parslow, just in from
the Grand Banks of Newfoundland
with cod, brings strange story.
Cant. David Parslow, of this port, an
ex-whaler, brother of the skipper OF
the Souantum and principal owner,
was inspecting the craft after her ar
rival and in the fo'castle detected the
odor of that precious product of the
sea ambergris. He traced the odor to
a pair of sea boots belonging to one
Of the crew, and upon diligent inquiry
evolved the fact fiat without doubt
at one time on the Squantum's last
trip a mass of ambergris worth at
lest s5 600 was alongside the little old
echooner and was allowed to go adrift
because the crew were ignorant of It's
value. and. furthermore. that a sam
ple" that had been saved. and that was
worth at least 800, had been used as
lubricant for the boots of one OF the
crew.
James PERKINS, 81 ohN
splitter of the Sqauntum, tells the fol-
lowing story:
zone night on the Virgin Rocks BIZ
Jason, who was up In the bow, sung
cut that there was something drifting
down on u.s. We thought first that 1t
was a dead body or something, but
when II come alongside we see that 1t
was a junk of something as big as a
bait cask or bigger-looked like tallow'
orly It was a dark grayish color, mot
tied with white in streaks. 1t had a
powerful smell-siGkish, sweetlike.
I'VE had a line round II and set out
to call the skipper, but he was snooz-
I'M and we thought II wasn't best to
get him riled up about nothing. and so,
after oliver Eaton had cut out junk
big enough to fill baking powder tin,
we let the stuff go adrift again,
"Oliver made an awful smell with
tie stuff agreasin his boots In the
