careful attention Some of the requi-
sites to success and methods used have
been stated by the Geneva On. " sta
ton. as follows:
The grower must have vigorous,
healthy plants to withstand the artifi-
cial conditions of forcing house life.
but he must not feed his charges too
richly or too heavily lest his harvest
prove nothing but leaves" until the
oncoming CT Florida grown tomatoes
makes his ripening crop profitless
one. The problem he must solve is to
check growth sufficiently to cause ear
ly setting and ripening of fruit without
lessening the vigor necessary for full
crop.
Various plans are used by growers to
accomplish these purposes. Some set
the plants in limited amounts Of soil to
retard their growth until fruit is set,
then stimulate with commercial ferti-
lizers or liquid manure, others limit
root development by growing the
plants in pots or small boxes, and 9TH
ers check the growth of the main stem
by leading out tie first shoot upon
each side
From tests at the station mentioned
it has been concluded that single stem
training is clearly superior to three
stem training for winter forcing of to-
matoes. The fruits on the single stem
plants are heavier and greater in num-
Der for equal areas. so that the total
yield per square foot Of bench surface
is decidedly larger. 1t was found also
that the amount of fruit ripened dur
ing the first six weeks Of fruiting is
much greater for the single stem
plants. although in many instances the
first fruits ripened were upon the three
stem plants.
In comparing plants grown in pots
and on benches very slight differences
were found when the pla-ts were
trained to single stem, but with the

How to wash Cbamoi. Leatbers.

When chamois feathers have been
washed, the usual fault with them is
that they dry hard and stiff. The Sc
cret of keeping a washed chamois
leather as soft as when new is to hang
it up to dry while it is still soapy and
without rinsing it. The leather will
then be perfectly supple and free from
any suggestion of stiffness.

alfalfa seed in the grainbox and let
it run down through the pipes. Set the

I consider broadcasting very waste

the surface of the ground either sprout
and then die for want of moisture or do
not sprout at all.

The cost of growing corn, cutting it
and putting it in the silo has been vari-
ously reported at almost all figures
from 81 to So per ton, says American
Cultivator. We do not doubt but that
it has been done for the smaller SUN
when the land has been made rich and
well cultivated and the most modern
work, but we think a fair average
would be nearer double that with the
ordinary farmer even in a favorable
season. But there are not many who
would like to grow roots for feeding to
stock at that price. Certainly we know
of none who would grow them to sc
at that price. and few would care to
grow them at 81 per ton if they could
grow other crops and find a ready cash
market for them. AS regards the value
of them, an average of the various
roots shows that the same amount OF
each fed with equal rationS of hay and
grain resulted little i'll favor of the
roots, but this was more than offset by
the two facts that the roots cannot be
kept in as good condition for late
spring or summer feeding as can the
ensilage and that there is more apt to
be a crop failure from drought or other
causes with the roots than with the
corn. The droughts of the two past
years have led many to believe that
having ensilage to feed in the summer.
when pastures are growing poorer, is
of almost as much Importance, and
some say more. than having it in the
winter.
The Three SiIos.
What is the best style of silo is still
a mooted question. The round stave
silo has been very popular for several
years largely because it is the cheapest
form of silo that can be erected. When
properly built and properly taken care
of, it also seems to be fairly durable.
Next in favor is the square or rectan-
gular silo, with cut off corners. This
makes an excellent silo. The remain
ing style is the round silo built wholly
of stone and brick or with part stone
and brick and above that wooden
structure with studding set in the wall
and covered outside and inside with
thin boards that will bend to circle.

SMALL FARMING PAYS.
Experience of a City Man With On
ions and Some Other Things.

Experience of City Man With On
ions and Some other Things.
The experience of a man who leaves
business to get back to the land and
make a living possesses a peculiar in
terest, especially if he is successful.
The following narrative of New
Hampshire man given in the Clare
mont Eagle is case of bringing up the
production of d small farm to profit
able basis:
I was a city man, but five years ago
my business was so dull l thought
would try farming. l had very little
money, but have been successful. |
have paid for my farm and own all my
stock and tools and think if all farm
ers did as 1 have done they would not
be preaching that farming doesn't pay.
1 began the first year to work out for
my farmer neighbors, but soon found
this would not pay. | and all the
men l worked for were no better off
than when we started. l thought: 81
have farm as well as they. Why
can't get living at work for myself
if they do and can afford to hire help"
After the first year began to work
for myself and found better results.
have a small farm of fifty-seven acres,
which cuts double the hay it did five
years ago. l think man can do better
on a small farm than he can on a big
farm, for he cannot cultivate the whole
of big farm, and one acre of good
land is better than five acres of poor.
If farmers would work as hard for
themselves as they have to when work
ing for others, they would get rich. 1
do all of my own work and hire man
only few days in haying. / have kept
dairy of six cows, young stock, and
poultry and raise between 400 and 800
bushels of onions year besides va
riety of other vegetables. l find the
onions are the most profitable.
I think it unwise for man when he
starts on a farm to begin fixing the
buildings. He should do it gradually
as he can afford; then he will be more
apt to hold his own.
There are good many ways of tell
ing a good farmer from shiftless one
by the buildings, the bushes on the
walls and line fences, the apple trees
untrimmed, making it impossible to
NOW within fifteen or twenty feet OF
them.
