of which three sides are constructed
of wood, the fourth side consisting of
a screen, which is pulled down only IN
rainy weather.
The main features of the open-air
treatment is the sun bath. On the top
of the sanitarium proper, which was
once a colonial residence, a large open
space has been arranged having a
glass roof and fitted with cots and
lattice work. Here the patients are
compelled to lie naked for certain
length of time every day, turning their
bodies about so that they may receive
on each part the direct rays of the
sum- The whole cuticle of each patient
is soon as tanned as are the neck and
arms of summer yachtsman. Follow
ing the sun bath, the patient is made
to undergo a needle bath, the tempera-
ture of which is regulated by the op-
orator, ending with a sluicing down
with cold water at forced high pres
sure. A rundown comes next, leaving
the WnOle SKIN In glow, anu IHen Tie
patient is dressed and sent outdoors.
Very little medicine is given, the bill
of fare is liberal and the patients are
permitted to eat almost anything they
fancy. A large vegetable garden Is
connected with the sanitarium- Pa
tients are not allowed to visit one an
other in their rooms, and the rule
against expectoration is rigidly en-
forced. This institution is not intend
ed for advanced cases, but merely for
incipient ones, which the managers
declare can be treated in such a man
ner as to put new vigor into the pa
tient and send him home with re-
newed interest in life.

The Boys Go Back to the Farm.
A report from Indiana says that of
the total number of men registered
this year in the agricultural college of
that state not more than 10 per cent
are willing or care to accept salaried
positions. The remainder are prepar
ing for work on their own farms.
There is demand for men trained along
agricultural lines. and it cannot now
be supplied Contrary to the general
impression a very large proportion of
the students in our agricultural col
leges go back to the farms when they
have completed their courses. The
Ohio Agricultural College about a
year ago undertook to find out how
many Of the agricultural students
leaving the college went back to the
farm. The proportion was found to be
very large. A considerable number
of agricultural students naturally drop
into the work of teaching. For this
opportunities are constantly opening

mildews and all fungous diseases and
it is prepared as follows:
Copper sulphate (blue stone), 6
pounds; fresh lime, 4 to pounds;
water, SO gallons.
Put the copper sulphate in a coarse
sack and suspend it in some water till
it is all dissolved and dilute to twenty
five gallons. Use either a wooden or
an earthen vessel. Then slake the
lime and dilute to twenty-five gallons,
and at the same time stir with a pad
die. An important point is to use
enough lime, as it prevents the burn
ing of the foliage. To determine if
enough lime has been used in prepar-
ing the mixture add a few drops of a
solution of ferro-cyanide of potassium.
If the ferro-cyanide of potassium does
not change, no more lime is needed,
but if it changes to dark reddish col
or, more lime must be added and the
test repeated.-Fabian Garcia.

Prospects for Fruit.

Prospects for Fruit.
Georgia peach prospects are bright.
Late frosts did not seriously injure
fruit in Alabama, and the outlook is
very favorable except for pears. Straw
berries are ripening in southern coun-
ties.
Cool, wet weather and frosts checked
the growth of vegetation in North Car
olina the first week in April, but the
consensus of opinion is that fruit es-
capped without serious injury.
Prof NJ E. Hansen, South Dakota:
Prospects are very good for fruit this
year. In the southern part of the
state cherry buds are reported injured
by the cold snap last December.
Prof. E. s. Goff, University of Wis
consin: The prospects for fruit are
only fair this season. The past very
hot and dry season was not favorable.
Only portion of the apple trees in our
orchard Qess than half) formed any
flower buds last season.
Michigan reports indicate that ten
der varieties of peaches were consider
ably injured in the southwestern part
of the state by the severe weather of
last December, otherwise the outlook is
encouraging. The prospects for an
average crop of the various fruits are
indicated by the following estimates
made by the Michigan secretary OF
state: Apples, "a; pears, 81; peaches
62; plums, Is; cherries. Sc; small
fruits, IS.

plants the seeds should be sown in the

the time the seed is sown the seedlings
will be ready to transplant. After the
celery has been transplanted and has
attained fair size cultivation between

Grasses as Soil binders.

At one of the suburbs north of Chi
cago there is steep bank that for
years has made a good deal of trouble
by its tendency to slide down against
the village water works. 1t has be-
come serious matter to the village
authorities and a number of devices
have been tried for holding back the
bank The bank is about ninety feet
high and has a slope of perhaps 60 de-
grees. The opinion of the Farmers
Review was requested as to the best
grasses to be used for bindiny<ae sur
face soil. The inquiry was passed on
to experts at the experiment stations.
and the following replies received
We publish them for the benefit of our
farm readers. who frequently have a
similar question to face.
Prof. Carleton r. Ball, acting agro-
stologist, department of agriculture,
Washington, d. C.: For holding a
bank 80 feet high and with slope of
60 degrees, the grass best adapted is
undoubtedly Bermuda grass. By means
of its strong and closely creeping root
stocks it will hold bank of that char
acter almost perfectly unless the
ground is exceedingly loose. 1t is OF
a beautiful color during the summer
months. but unfortunately is killed
above the surface of the ground by
frost and is therefore not green dur
ing the winter and not until late in
the spring The creeping rootstocks,
however. hold the soil practically as
well when the foliage is dead as when
it is living and growing and this fact
would not affect its utility. There are
of course other grasses that could be
used, as quack grass or couch grass,
and, 10 a less degree, Canada blue
grass Neither of these would spread
as rapidly or make as firm a turf as
the Bermuda grass.

Rape for Early Spring reed.

Rape for Early Spring Feed.
Each seasons results at the Okla
homa Experiment Station give further
evidence of the value of the rape plant
as source of green feed in this coun-
try. Not only has it proven a most de-
sirable spring and fall pasture crop,
but crop that will furnish large
quantity of green feed during such a
drouthy summer as that of 1901. The
plant lived through the mild winter of
1900-01 but the zero weather of the
past winter killed all the plants
The rape plant will be one of the
first plants available for feed in the
spring and large area should be put
out, as feed is scarce and high priced
The value of the plant lies in the fact
that 1T will furnish large amount of
green feed in short period from the
time of planting. The plant resembles
the cabbage in texture and color but
the growth is erect and two to three
feet tall. Good rich soil is necessary
for a large growth and should be put
in line tilth before seeding. The plant
is proof against frost and may be
seeded the last of February or early
March in Oklahoma.
Broadcasting will do for temporary
patches but if the crop is wanted to
last through the summer it should be
III drills and cultivated. Do not pas
ture too close if continuous growth is
desired. For broadcasting use three
or four pounds per acre. In drills one
to one and one half pounds will be re-
quired. Prof. Thomas Shaw says that
ten sheep may be fattened on one acre
of rape in Minnesota. Twenty-three
tons of green feed per acre have been
taken OF at the first cutting at this
station.-Oklahoma Station.

Range Notes.

April reports from Oregon indicate
that grass is making a steady growth
and that pasturage in the western sec
tion is in good condition. In the east
ern section it is not so good, cold
weather having retarded growth, and
as a result feed is short on the ranges.
Range cattle came through the win
ter in fair condition and as soon as
pasturage is good will take on fat.
When April opened lambing was well
along and there were no reports of un-
usual loss.
In Idaho, clover and alfalfa have
made start but range grass is grow
ing slowly. Sheep and cattle have
been on the summer range for several
weeks, however. The shearing of sheep
is progressing rapidly and satisfactor-
lily. Live stock are in fair to good
condition.
According to Weather Bureau cor
respondents, March was a cold, windy,
dry month in New Mexico, especially
in Mora and San Miguel counties and
vicinity, where there was some loss in
cattle on account of drouth, but as
rule both cattle and sheep are in fair
dry and outside water holes are dry
ing up.
Haying has begun in California.
Owing to cold weather and lack of
rain the Arizona season is two to three
weeks later than usual. Ranges are
in poor condition in many localities
and live stock show the need of better
pasturage and water supplies.

In regard to the question Are peach

124 correspondents answer yes and
254 no" 1t is to be hoped that spray
ing will become more general each

time and again that it is very profita-

not be grown without it. Correspond
ents generally agree that it is too early

reader of The Farmers Review that

For myself. l do not yet see that there
is any advantage in this process in the
states near the great lakes. 1t seems
to me that it is a method that does not
make possible the thorough prepara-
ton of the ground, and 1 have come to

BadIy-TIed Wool.

ITO get wool to market in the best of

substances left in the wool, but it
should be strictly clean As to mar
kets. my experience is that ST. Louis

Plymouth Rocks.

From Farmers Review: 1 have in
years past bred a number of different
kinds of poultry, and have selected the
White Plymouth Rocks as an exclu-
siye breed, from the fact that their
uniformity in size and color makes
them as flock present handsomer
appearance than can be obtained from
any parti colored birds. As egg pro-
ducers I consider they stand second
to none They are not strongly in
clined to be broody, as is the case with
the Asiatiac breeds, yet make the best
of mothers, from a utility standpoint
being one pound heavier than the
Wyandottes. / consider them their
leaders. For the table their plump
form and rich yellow skin, free from
dark pin-feathers, make them a mar
ket fowl superior to all. I consider
them the grandest of all American
breeds, the general purpose fowl, the
fancier's favorite, the gems of the show

ty, Illinois.
