A sheep raiser says: las soon as
the lambs are weaned and the ewes
are dried the old ewes should be culled
out and sent to the shambles as soon
as they are ready. When one has his
flock well established and he can afford
to Gull severely. he ought to do SO. In
such instances there is no gain in keep
ing grade sheep beyond the age of five
years for breeding uses. Beyond that
age they are not so well fitted to nour-
ish their young, nor do they fatten as
well when they are being prepared fol

or their courage. Often deer will leave
their young lying stretched out fiat

The man who goes out to catch

trembling little creatures and put them

half a dozen fawns in this way in the

horticultural observations.


We notice in a contemporary a rec
ipe for sulphuring apples, by which
method they can be kept without can
ming. In brief, the plan is to put the
pared and CHARTERED apples in a bar
rel in which is to be burned a cupful
of sulphur. Until further advised our
readers should beware of the process.
Sulphured fruit is under the ban of
medical authorities and is considered
bad food Canning and drying give
healthful food products and these proc
esses should not be abandoned for
one that gives questionable results.
Now is the time to be preparing for
the early radishes and lettuce. To
have them early increases their value
to the eater. BY growing them in
hot bed they can be placed ON the
table from four to six weeks earlier
than If grown in the open ground.
Make the bed on the south side Of
building, where it will receive all of
the sunlight possible, and where it will
get little wind. The manure bed may
be made in a pit or on a level and
covered with a few inches of good
loan. The glass should of course
slope toward the south to catch the
sun and turn the rain. The radishes
can be sown in drills or broadcast. but
must be thinned to give room for de-
velopment Good radishes must be
grown rapidly to be tender.
Grape growers have generally paid
little or no attention to the question
of Decentralization of grapes, believ-
ing most grapes TO be sufficiently self
fertile to give a good yield of fruit

some of our stations have taken up
the question and have found that the
varieties differ greatly in this regard.
some being self-sterile, others only
partly self-fertile. The self-sterile va
rieties cannot be improved by planting
them together, but may be benefited
by planting them near the se1f-fertil-
fzers. However, little definite informa-
ton exists on this point, and 1t Is
evident that a great deal of expert
mental work must yet be done to give
IN light on the subject Very marked
results have already been secured, in
dicating that a variety which is more
or less incapable of fertilizing itself
generally fails in the fertidzfng of
other self-steri1e varieties, while on
the other hand the self-fertile varie-
ties have usually been successful in
fertilixing the self-sterile sorts upon
which they have been tried Further

At the Ontario experiment station
tests with wheat have been a prom1-
nent part of the work. Some of the re-
suits are reported on as follows:
The average Of several years results
from seeding at different dates shows
that the grain which was sown on or
before the ninth OF September gave a
considerably larger yield of both straw
and grain than that which was sown
after that date. The very best yields
were obtained from the wheat which
was sown in the last week of August.
An experiment with different prep
Arations of winter wheat land has
been conducted in duplicate in each of
four years. The average results in
bushels of grain per acre of the eight
tests are as follows: Twenty tons OF
farm-yard manure per acre on bare
summer fallow, 4o.9; crop of peas
plowed under, 3S.1; bare summer fall
low. 1873; crop of buckwheat plowed
under, 20.6. These results show that
peas give much better results than
buckwheat when used as a green ma
nure on land to be used for winter
wheat
In an experiment conducted during
the past year in growing wheat on
found that the former gave 28.2 per
cent less in yield of grain per acre
than the latter. Ten plots were used
for the experiment. The crop OF both
grass and clover was removed from the
land in 1899, after which the land was
plowed and the wheat was sown dur
ing the FIRST week OF September. The
experiment will likely be repeated for
several years.
In each of six years an experiment
has been conducted in duplicate by
sowing winter wheat broadcast and
with drill. The results from sowing
the same quantities OF seed by the two
per acre being practically equal. 1t
should be understood that the land
was in good state of cultivation when
the seeding took place, in every case.
In order to find out the influence of
| cutting wheat at different stages of
maturity upon the quality of the grain
| for seed purposes, samples were taken
| from the crop cut at different dates,
and these samples were carefully sown
| upon separate plots. In the average
| RESULTS OF these tests made with two
| varieties in each of five years, it was

to become very ripe before it was cut

Weeds injure growing crops by APP
propriating the available plant food. by
removing water from the soil, and, In
the case of small vegetables. by
excluding light While soil may be
very fertile, there seldom is present
enough plant food, in the form neces-
sary Tor the use of plants, to support
a crop Of weeds and crop of vegeta-
bles at the same time. But weeds
usually do the greatest injury by re-
moving from about the roots of the
crop the water needed by it. Not only
do weeds require water for their in
crease in size, but water is continually
evaporating from the surface of their
leaves. While they may shade the
surface of the soil SO as to check evap-
Grafton there, the evaporation from
their leaves is much more rapid than
it would be from the surface of the
unshaded soil. If it were properly Gull
tivated Thus, the destruction OF the
weeds by cultivation not only curtails
the loss OF plant food and OF water, but
the process produces all the desirable
conditions Of the soil mentioned above

Germany is one of the countries in
which American horses have obtained
a footing, and the effect upon horse
growing there is described in the Ham
burger Nachrichten as follows:
Importations from America have
caused the horse raisers of Holstein
to suffer much of late. A stock COM
pany has just been formed in Berlin
for the express purpose OF importing
horses from the United States. The
Americans have succeeded in breeding
a horse which compares favorably in
every way with the Holstein animal.
especially in those points SO highly
priced in a work horse-namely, broad
hips and large build generally. The
best markets for Holstein horses have
always been the provinces of Saxony,
Thuringia and Brunswick. The de-
mand is created by the large sugar
factories. This market has been de-
creasing of late. owing to American
horses being purchased in Berlin. A
few days ago this Berlin company
shipped a drove OF eighty through
Hamburg en- route for Milan, Italy.
where they are to be used on the tram
ways. Almost every week a long
freight train filled with American
horses leaves the Berliner bahnhof for
various parts of Germany. In spite of
expensive freight and tariff of 81
per head, the Americans have built up
a respectable competition in the Ger
man market.
Reports from American consuls, both
in Germany and elsewhere in Europe,
indicate that the conditions described
in the foregoing extract are becoming
the prevailing ones in many other for
eign markets, as well as those of Ger

At the Tennessee Dairy sohoo


Geo. w. Markham, writing to the
Farmers Review from the Tennessee
Agricultural college, says: THE short
course began January 3, 1901. There
were about thirty-three students at the
opening, and some have come since.
Much prominence is given to dairying,
although all the subjects taken up
seem to be very carefully considered
The dairy building is a very fine one
and supplied with large variety OF
milk testers, cream separators, cheese
making outfits, together with all the
other necessary machinery and fixtures
required. All the students working in
this building are uniformed in white
duck suits and they present neat and
businesslike appearance. We are di-
vided into squads and on different days
have instruction in running the boiler
and engine, milk testing, churning. and
the manipulation OF the several types
of separators- Besides this, there is
work in pasteurizing milk and prepar-
ing it for the city trade and in the
making of cheese. For myself, 1 have
been on churning, butter making, milk
testing, boiler and engine, etc, and
have found out that one practice period
ON churning extending from one to six
O'Clock has taught me more than ever
IMAGINED there was to know about this
subject ALI the students are delighted
with this work and every one is sur
prised. at the vast amount OF informa-
ton required to run dairy properly.

Styles for the Winter.

The easiest and simplest way we
can suggest for our readers to get a
good idea of the styles that will be
popular this winter is to buy a COPY
OF the October Delineator, just on
sale at every news stand. The Delin-
Gator for October foreshadows, by
means OF it's New York, Paris and
London connections, those tendencies
OF fashion that will certainly prevail.
In addition to the fashion features
and practical dressmaking advice
that has made The Delineator famous,
the October number is full of good
general reading, most tastefully illus
trated under the immediate direction
of the we'll known artist, William
Martin Johnson. Mr.. Johnson's
work is known to lovers of the beau
tiful, by reason of the Garfield edi-
ton of Ben Hur, as we'll as some
other books of large sale. Mr.. John
son believes in illustrations that illus
trate, rather than in pictures that on

Contest of Will.

The will of the late Peter M. John
son of Lake Elizabeth has been con-
tested by two of his daughters, Mrs.
Emma G. Anderson of Red Wing and
Mrs. Anna II. Odlund of Seattle,
Wash. The will left the property of
the deceased to his son, Charles E.
Johnson, as a recompense for taking
care of the said P. M. Johnson and
his wife for many years. AS both of
them were practically helpless for
severalyear and required the constant
attendance of helper at their bed
side, it is the general opinion of the
neighbors that the property left was
not enough to pay for the trouble and
work. The ground taken by the con-
testants is that the maker of the will
was so weak mentally at the time that
he did not know what he was doing.
The contestants were represented by
the county attorney of Goodhue
county, Mr.. Albert Johnson. Judge
Muller appeared for the heir. On &C.
count of the great number of witnesses
to be heard the case could not be dis
posed of in one day and the hearing
was continued until next Monday.
