Tho Summer Fa'low.

The good old advice to summer fall
low is no longer passed on from father
to son. The plan originated in the
days of the Hebrew patriarchs, and
we doubt not has had something to do
with the barrenness that is now said to
be the state of many Of the hills on
which it was practiced. When SCI
ence took up the matter it found that
no fertility was conserved by permit
ting the land to remain idle. It was
even discovered that a crop of weeds
was far superior to crop of nothing,
Summer fallow-plowing up the land
and leaving it bare for a season.
causes losses in several ways. The up
per layer Of soil becomes dust under
the fierce rays Of the sun. In this
dry dust chemical action sets in and
annihilates every vestige Of organic
matter-the humus. This humus was
the great factor in the retaining OF
moisture and of nitrogen. A CROP
would have shaded the ground and
prevented chemical action Of the ma
ture mentioned. The loss Of humus
changes the physical properties of the
soil, causes 1t to be less retentive OF
moisture, lighter in color and heavier
in weight per cubic foot. Rotation OF
crops, including the legumes, is better
than summer fallow.

Wheat and the Hs..,an Fly.

How to avoid the Hessian fly is one
of the great problems that confronts
the wheat culturist. From time to
time discoveries are being made that
may make it possible to in the future
greatly lessen the violence Of the at
lacks. It now seems probable that
where wheat is lacking in thriftiness
it is more injured by Hessian fly at
lacks than where it is vigorous. This
is a principle quite generally accepted
as to fruit tree insects. Prof. Andrew
M. Soule Of Tennessee says: Wheat
on thin and impoverished land suffered
most from attacks Of the Hessian fly.
From the results obtained in sowing
wheat on different dates, it is apparent
that the date Of seeding wheat deter
mines, to a considerable degree, the
amount Of injury done by the fly, and
it is further evident that If wheat is
sown on carefully prepared land Of
good quality where there is an abund-
ant supply of available food that 1t
will stool out and In measure make
up for the original shoots destroyed
by the fly. These shoots, however.
will not be 30 vigorous, nor will they
fill so well as those first thrown up"

The most marked variation in the
character of the COW pea is to be
found in the color of the seed, which
may be of any Of the shades of black,
white, red, brown, yellow, gray, green
and purple, or they may be speckled
with two or more Of these colors. In
shape they may be round, fiat or broad
kidney shaped or flattened at the ends.
The period of ripening required by
different varieties varies from sixty to
more than 200 days, and the same va
riety will ripen seed in less time from
late than from early planting and in
less time in dry seasons than in sea-
sons Of an abundance of rain, while an
excess Of nitrogen in the soil retards
both fruiting and maturity, increasing
the yield OF vine and not infrequently
decreasing the yield Of peas, as COM
pared with les. fertile soils.

Owing to a controversy in Europe
regarding the relative value of Amer
lean and European clover seed, the
Department Of Agriculture has under
taken some comparative experiments,
the initial series of which was con-
Quoted at Washington. Many samples
of clover seed of known origin from the
different countries of Europe and from
different parts of the United States
and Canada were grown under like
conditions. Cuttings of hay were made
at suitable intervals, the product OF
each plat being carefully weighed.
These experiments, which have now
been under way for two years, show
conclusively that under the conditions
existing here the European red clover
is decidedly inferior in productiveness
to the American. Apparently the
American strain is better adapted to
the conditions of bright sunshine, pc
riodic heat, and dryness that exist
here. For the purposes of our farm
ers, therefore, decision Of the ques-
ton whether to use American or i'm
ported seed is easily reached. During
the past year series of supplementary
experiments has been started at typi-
cal selected areas in different parts
of the United States, to see whether
these results hold in the principal
clover-growing states.

Up on Lexington avenue an enter
prising music dealer who desired TO
call attention to his wares had sign
painted in artistic white letters on a
black ground and hung it on his outer
wall. 1t read, What is home without
q piano?"
One dark night along came a painter,
with material of his trade in hand, who
either had no music in his soul or had
a cultivated taste beyond ragtime and
the ordinary performer, and added a
word to the sign.
When the music dealer arose In tho
morning he was surprised at the APP
pearance of his sign. 1t read: What
is home without piano? Peace"
The final word was ruthlessly oblit-
Grated and the sign taken from the out
er wall and hung behind the protec-
ton of plate glass.-Boston Globe.

Losing Humus and Fertility.


Growing wheat continuously on land
depletes the nitrogen and humus in it
in addition to what is taken up by
the crops themselves. Just how this
depletion takes place we do not know,
but it does take place to surprising
degree. This fact largely accounts for
the rapid deterioration of lands de-
voted exclusively to wheat growing
and to summer fallow. This latter
practice, though hoary in age, is a
greater waster of nitrogen and Of hui
mus than is even wheat growing. At
st. Anthony's Park, Minnesota, plat
Of ground that was used in the grow
ing Of wheat continuously for eight
years lost LOO pounds Of nitrogen.
OF this only 300 pounds was taken up
by the wheat crop. Four times as
much nitrogen was lost by soil and air
as was used by the wheat. That
meant a loss of 1,40O pounds, which
was more than one-fifth of all the nj
trogen in the soil at the time the wheat
was first grown. What then would be
the result in five times rs many years
forty years? The land would GER
tainly become useless for. the growing
OF wheat and would reach q condition
in which the recovery of its nitrogen
would be extremely difficult In ad-
dition to the loss Of nitrogen there
was a yearly loss Of 1000 pounds Of
humus, through chemical action.

Outlook for FruiA

w. H. Wylie, Ohio: The outlook for
fruit is fair, as the trees went through
the winter we'll.
H. M. Dunlap. Central Illinois: The
outlook for tree fruits is good. This
applies to apples, pears, cherries and
plums. Peach buds are dead.
r. L Holman, Ohio: The prospect
for fruit is poor and the general crop
will not be over so per cent OF an
average. Peaches are entirely gone
There will be some plums and cherries
and a part crop of apples.
Prof. H. c. Price, Iowa: From pres
ent Indications the prospect for fruit
the coming season is very good. The
apple. plum and cherry blossoms are
in good condition. Peach blossoms
are killed and some Of the more tender
varieties Of plum and cherry, but on
the whole, l think tie prospects are
very good.
T. E. Goodrich, Southern Illinois:
The outlook is good for all tree fruits
except peaches. The peach crop will
be light. A few buds are ready to
break out into blossoms, but not
enough for a crop. Pears and apples
promise well. Trees are leaving out.
Warm rains during the past two days
March 26, 27) are bringing out the
grass and Frightening the color Of the
wheat.
Professor John T. Stinson, Missouri:
The prospects for an apple crop in
South Missouri are good. reaches are
killed over Central Missouri, but as
far south as Koshkonong and also in
the southwestern portion of the state
they promise a good crop. At some
points, for instance Kashkonong, the
report is that the crop promises to be
full.
Professor Albert Dickens, Kansas:
Apples promise very well, except IN
some old orchards which bore extra
heavy crops in '01; young orchards
generally in good condition. Cherries
and native plums promise we'll; Japan
csc plums considerably damaged. April
cots badly damaged. Peaches in
northern part of the state, buds killed;
conflicting reports from the southern
part, probably seriously injured.

Col. Dan Turner of Memphis. Tenn, to
a group of western men who had been

one of our citizens sets out to do it.
mot long ago 1t became necessary
for one of the railroads to build q
small branch line, and a traction en-
CINE was sent down there with the
first load of bodybuilding material to
haul ties on heavy trucks from a little
mountain hamlet near where the road
WAS being built. When the workmen
had finish ed hauling the ties the en-
CINE was placed alongside the road un-
til it should be convenient to haul 1t
away. It remained beside the road
about six months, and when the con-
tractor came along to clear up, he was
rather amazed to find that nothing but
the boiler OF the traction engine re-
NAMED where he had placed 1t. To
make matters worse, every bolt AMI
rivet that could be removed from the
boiler wa, missing, too. A search was
instituted, but the missing parts OF the
machine could not be found.
Some time after the theft of his en-
CINE the contractor had occasion to
drive through the country again, and
stopped at a negro's blacksmith shop
to have a shoe fastened on his horse.
While the smithy was at work the con-
tractor walked around the shop, and to
his amazement, found in one corner OF
the place the missing parts Of his en-
CINE. He Immediately charged the ne
gro with stealing it. and the man ad-
mitted his guilt. When the contractor
had recovered from his surprise at the
find, he asked the smithy why he had
not taken the boiler, too, and the latter
replied that he was making tackle to
take to the roadside and lift the boiler
into his wagon when the contractor
took the thing away"

som. Experiments with Wheat.

nome experiments with wheat
At the Tennessee Experiment sta
ton the results Of fertilizer expert
ments with winter wheat after bare
fallow show that the cost of the in
crease per bushel was 10 cents, with
250 pounds of acid phosphate per acre
in two applications, rs cents with ten
tons of barnyard manure applied in
1900 and tons in 1901, and 80 cents
with an application of so bushels of
lime in 1900; while accompanied by a
crop Of cowpeas plowed under, so
bushels Of lime applied in 1900 reduced
the cost Of increased yield per bushel
to 16 cents, $50 pounds of basic Stag to
IL cents, and the same amount of Ten
nessee and South Carolina acid phos-
pilates to 10 and 20 cents. Where bare
fallow was followed for two years the
cost Of the increase with these phos-
pilates was 42.39 and "a cents per
bushel, respectively. The phosphates
gave good results in all cases, but the
application of muriate of potash alone,
of blood and bone, and 100 bushels of
lime alone were unsatisfactory. The

Improbable and the complete home
mixed fertilizers were not SO econom-

Fruit Inv.st,r.t,on, in Nilsson


The government summary OF the
work Of the Missouri Fruit Expert
ment station, under the direction Of
Prof. John T. Stinson, says: During
the first years operation Of this sta
ton about forty acres Of land were
brought under cultivation. twenty Of
which were planted in test orchards.
Experiments in crossing strawberries
have been undertaken, and some
spraying experiments on commercial
scale for the control Of apple scab and
bitter rot carried out in a neighbor-
ing orchard. Eighty varieties Of APP
pies, 10S peaches, Al grapes and SO
strawberries were set out Apple scab
on the varieties Ben Davis and Hunts
man, was almost entirely prevented by
spraying with Bordeaux mixture. Bit
ter rot was more difficult to control
with Bordeaux mixture. In one ex-
pertinent on Ben Davis sprayed five
times, 60 per cent Of the fruit was
free from bitter lot, while on control
trees only IN per cent was free from
1t. In another part Of the orchard rs
per cent of the fruit sprayed four
times was free from the rot, while on
unsprayed trees all but IA per cent
was affected. The variety Huntsman,
which was sprayed three times during
the season gave SO per cent free from
bitter rot and 80 per cent free from
apple scab, while on unsprayed trees
but 4S per cent was free from bitter
rot and 6y per cent free from apple
scab.

SAYS PING.poNa IS A NUISANCE

Complaint of q. Dweller in an Apart
ment Under the Scene of the Game.
Ping pong has the advantage Of be-
ing possible in any kind of room. and
it is for that reason especially adapted
to the dimensions of the ordinary fiat.
So 1t is favorable diversion with fiat
jewellers who feel like asking few
friends in for the customary pleasant
evening.
IF ping pong is suited to apart
ments," said one fiat dweller, II would
like to say that it is, in my opinion,
much more suited to the fat in which
it is played than it is to the other
apartments in the building.
1.-THE family that lives over me Is
addicted to the game, and l am ia
miliar with some of the drawbacks Of
living in such close relations with ha-
bitual ping-pongers.
Regularly every night after dinner
hear the furniture in the drawing
room above me being pulled about the
room. know that the large table Is
being prepared for the game.
after that hear steadily until bed
time the invariable two tones Of the
bats, ping-pong, ping-pong, as the
game goes on. don't know at what
time they stop. escape to bedroom
before that time and try to go to sleep.

slant and unchanging ping pong Is

To try and write you an article on
the horticulture l saw in Europe
would be bewildering, writes B. II
Bones In Wisconsin Horticulturist
Nothing seems impossible with thosA
Frenchmen as florists, gardeners OF
fruit growers. I saw men independ'
emily rich on five acres Of ground. ]
saw cauliflowers eight inches across
and leaves touching the body Of cherry
trees on which there were no less than
six bushels to the tree. Forty-eight
hours after the caulifower was cut and
the cherries picked the soil under the
tree was planted to another crop!
How they can do this is mystery,
and as my French ia limited to about
forty words, I could not ask many
questions. The gardens between Rouen
and Paris are probably the finest In
the world and the neatness Of the
homes beyond compare; stone houses
with red-tiled roofs, no weeds, no
waste material lying anywhere. Pears
Of all colors loaded the trees, and
trees trimmed in fantastic shapes,
cherries bending with fruit and, east
Of Paris a few miles, so many taar
they fairly colored the landscape.
In Paris l saw oleanders that could
climb and at Treves tree roses, ditto.
At the latter place, in the great rose
garden Of Europe, as late as Aug. 1,
thousands Of roses were still in bloom.
What must 1t have been in June! For
shade trees they have no elm equal to
ours; their linden is not to be COM
pared with ours, and we can beat the
oaks Of old England. The sycamore Is
the great ornamental tree Of Europe.
and you are never out Of sight of them
in any town from the Mediterranean
to Rotterdam.
OF grapes saw no end, thousands OF
acres; the terraced banks of the
Moselle and the Rhine are one continu-
Gus vineyard. In France If you fur
nished two casks they would fill one
and take the other for pay, so great
was the vintage, this the ordinary
wine. The apples of Europe are not
as good as our windfalls. In Covent
Garden Market, London, Mere~hun-
dreds of bushels of-eseseberries larger
in size than green gage plums.
