Farm Notes.

Transplant tomato vines and thus give
them an opportunity to harden. Should the
nights be cold delay the transplanting
week later. The condition of the weather
must be considered, but get them out as
early as possible
Cherry trees differ from others in that
they do not seem TO require cultivation:
those which stand in dry places and are
than those in the field or garden. In the
garden they seem to either get too much
moisture or too much manure.
Beets and carrots should go into the
ground early as possibly in order TO get
the young plants well under growth before
the main crop of weeds appears. The seeds
OF beets and carrots are slow in germinat-
ing and the Soil should be carefully pre-
pared so as to afford as much warmth as
possible.
Crimson clover should be plowed under
while in blossom, so as to secure as much
growth before utilizing il as the crop will
make. 1t may be turned under in time for
corn, and will add nitrogen to the soil
Wood ashes, used at the same time, will
also give good results as well as assist in
neutralizing any acidity in the soil.

An Appeal to Sportsmen.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Many sportsmen, when on hunting trips,
are in the habit of shooting birds that can
in no sense be considered game simply
for practice" 1t is undoubtedly a fact
that large numbers of gulls, terms, swal-
lows, swifts. nighthawks, which in some
sections of the country are known as bull
bats and birds of like character, are de-
stroyed every year. Without considering
the aesthetic side OF the question, such
birds should not be killed from an economic
standpoint; they are of great value to the
public. and 10 wantonly destroy them for
practice" in shooting is a habit that no
true sportsmen will engage in. Let US
hope that il is the result of thoughtless-
ness This appeal is made TO the sports
men of the country to ask them to consider
the great value of the nongame birds and
it is believed they will not only abstain
from killing such birds. but viii preach
the gospel Of protection at all times.

To FertiIize an Orchard.

Massachusetts, Ploughman.
a bulletin from the Cornell Station, New
York, has some sensible remarks about the
cultivation Of the orchard through the ap-
plication Of barnyard manures. special fer
tilizers and the growing OF clover crops
The purpose of the bulletin is 10 record
some experiments, and draw deductions
therefrom which will help the modern
scientific orchardist who believes in getting
the best possible results from his fruit trees
The need of some system Of fertilizing the
orchard lands TO make the trees produce
large, handsome commercial fruits is uni
versally felt. Most of the progressive grow
ers have reached the conclusion that green
manure is more economical and as Satisfac-
tory as expensive fertilizers and barnyard
manures. The different clover and grass
crops raised in an orchard should be for the
double purpose OF protecting the tree roots
in winter and for fertilizng the soil by
turning under early in spring. In the
experiments made at the above station
ii was found that of the various crops
SoWn in midsummer, after the sod OF the
winter crop had been plOwed under and
TO the soil by the following spring 1876
pounds Of nitrogen to the acre. mammoth
red clover 40 pounds, crimson clover lO4
pounds and common red clover eighty-seven
pounds. Similarly the hairy Vetch and soy
bean were planted. and on one acre the
former from the heaviest yield produced
200 pounds OF nitrogen and the COW pea
fifty-two pounds, both within three months
after planting. According TO these re-
turns it was estimated that the hairy
vetch added to the orchard soil in the
form of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pot
ash about SIS worth of material TO each
acre. Added TO this fertilizing value of the
green crops there is the advantage obtained
of protecting the trees in winter. Another
point TO which attention is called is the good
obtained in the use of these plants by pre-
serving the moisture in the soil in hot
weather and in inducing the roots Of the
trees 10 penetrate far down into the sub
soil. Such deep-rooted trees are always the
sturdiest and best producers.

Two Crops on the Same Ground.

Correspondence Indiana Farmer.
This can be done easily by planting your
ground in early potatoes, having the rows
four feet apart. Keep them free from
weeds, and after the last cultivation drill
in navy beans or California cream beans
between the rows. Cultivate the beans by
running on each side of the rows with
hand pillow, which will also help to keep the
potatoes clean, making them easy TO dig
II you wish TO market the potatoes early
they will have to be dug by hand. II not,
the beans can be pulled when ripe and
moved over out OF the way Of the team

adopt this plan: AS soon as the ground
is dry enough to pillow and you get ii

inches apart, pressing them into the ground
so that they will not turn over in covering.
Cultivate with a hand pillow, being very
careful not to ridge the onions, as they do
far better by level cultivation. At the last
cultivation plant two or three watermelon
seeds ia small hills made about twelve feet
apart each way between the rows of onions.
When the onion tops are beginning to die
at the bottom pull them and remove the
crop to some outbuilding and spread them
out in the shade, letting them remain there
until danger of freezing in the fall. When
your melons are gone you can sow the
ground to turniDs, thus raising three crops
instead of two on the same ground.
