Forcing Heavy Crops.

1t is a common practice among tenant
farmers anil fruit growers. during the
last year they handle the ground, To
force tn. largest possible crops regard
less of the effect on the soil. Whether a
tenant is warranted in doing this is not
the point to be discussed. Unftrtunate-
w many CT these tenants go on 30 far.as
of their own and. remembering the last
heavy crop. carry out the same plan in
apparent ignorance of the effect on the
soil. Take the case of a strawberry
plantation as an illustration. On aver
age soil having a fair quantity of each
of the plant foods nitrate Of soda used
10 the exclusion of other fertilizers
would produce very large crop Of ber-
ries. but it would also use from the soil
a greater amount of fertility than one
is justified In taking. If other plant
foods were used so as TO leave the soil
In fair condition. then the use OF the
nitrate of soda would be justiaable. but
this might bring the expense OF getting
the crop TO a figure too great 20 warrant
the outlay. This being the case. il
would be far more sensible TO handle
the soil with a view OF getting the large
crop for successive years ard retain
ing the fertility OF the soil. rather than
TO get an extraordinary crop one year
and exhaust the SOIL

Glover Land for Potatoes.


In many sections where farmers
have succeeded In growing crimson
clover, the crop rotation is clover, po-
tatoes and corn. This has been found
to give excellent results provided the
clover is turned under at just the prop
er time, and this time is when the
clover is in the condition where the
greatest amount of nitrogen can be put
into the soil. Experiments have prov
ed that, regardless of calendar dates,
this condition of the clover is very soon
after it begins to bloom. for at that
time the nitrogen the plant has gath
cred from the air is in the plant. and
hence can be put into the soil by plow-
ing under. 1t is true that the growth
Of clover may be quite heavy at that
time, and hard to pillow under but this
is certainly Offset by the added amount
Of nitrogen gained. 1t is not meant to
infer that this rotation of crops will
1o away with the necessity for the use
Of fertilizers, although If previous fer
tilizing has supplied phosphoric acid
in sufficient quantities and cultivation
has released the potash. so that only
nitrogen is needed, the use of crimson
clover will, after all, render unneces-
sary the fertilizer. However, this is a
condition of affairs that can only be as
eertained by demonstration.

Poultry PickinGs.

Keep the hens scratching.
A dark comb indicates congestion of
some kind.
Turkeys are very tender and weak
when young.
The poultryman who would rise to
highest fame must advertise
Keep the grit boxes well supplied.
Without grit indigestion is certain.
There is no class of poultry that in
crease in weight as rapidly IS goslins.
A smooth bira that is easily cleaned
is a good arrangement in feeling poul-
try.
Market the old fowls and keep the
young ones on the farm and in the poul-
try yard.
Location is much. but the right kind
of man can raise poultry successfully
anywhere.
FEATHER pulling is vice that comes
from confinement and idIeness, and is
difficult TO cure.
Geese usually lay early. Tne eggs
should be gathered as soon as laid to
prevent chilling.
One advantage with poultry on the
farm is that they eat much which 9TH
erwise would be wasted.
Plenty of feed does not mean profu-
sion. Profits are lost by oyerfeeding
as well as by undertaking.
Trouble with lice In the poultry house
is caused by neglect every time, and
pure lazIness a good many times.
Some chickens die because Of the
toughening of the skin at the large end
OF the egg They cannot break through
It.

long legs are hard TO fatten- Those

The Roseau Apple.

The trouble which comes from the
confusing of names is illustrated in the
case of the Roseau apple, which is more
generally known by its common name
of Canada Red. yet which is entirely
distinct from the variety known as Red
Canada. The Roseau apple fairly shown
in the illustration as to form has more
than a local reputation, although X Is
most generally found in bearing in
Canada and New England. There seems
to be no good reason why the variety
should not be planted in all apple Sec
tons, and particularly in northern dis
tricts, for while it is not to be classed
as good variety for home use, it GER
tainly is a good late-keeping variety,
hence is valuable for market purposes.
The fruit is Slightly irregular, oblate,
shallow basin. calyx small. Color red

Canning Farm Products.

There is tendency among farmers
in some sections to venture into the
canning industry. This has been
brought about by the low prices obtain
ed for their products from Gamers gen.
orally. as we'll as by the thought that
there is considerable profit in the can
ming business. To any farmer who has
this plan in mind the advice is not to
carry it out. for, in the majority of
cases, the result will be failure. 1t must
be Remembered that the expense of get.
ting plant together is large; that ones
competitors are men of experience,
large capital and sources of output
which are practically closed to the
small packer This state of affairs
would not be Offset by the fact that a
saving in expense would be made be-
cause Of the low cost Of production.
This argument applies to any crop the
farmer may attempt to can with the
one exception of putting up jellies and
fruits in glass cans, and this comes,
properly, in the sphere of the wife.
There is no doubt but what there is Il
market for fruits canned in the good
old way, such as expert women Gamers
understand, but the growth of such a
business would be slow, while it would
be sure. If tile women of the farm
are first-class preservers of fruits, it
would be a good plan to have them
put up some fruit and try it in the local
markets. Once started, the business
will grow if the quality is kept up.

RETURN OF The PRESIDENT.
Ends Vacation in Yellowstone Par

EndS Nacafion IN Yellowstone Park
aud ReS1nhes Tour.
President RoeSevslt's vacation in yell
lowstoae Park IeaGeJ Friday. The Presi-
dent ana ~; -. muse who accompanied him
on his tour Of the pack are delighted
with the trip. No accident occurred, and
for the most part they had delightful
weather. john Burroughs was also
greatly benefited by his outdoor life and
his face is as bronzed as that Of the Pres
ident. The President spent most of his
time in studying the habits Of the game
that abounds in the park. He would lie
for hours near a herd of elk or mountain
goats and frequently walk eight or ten
miles TO observe them. He also studied
bird life with Mr.. Burroughs. Mr.. Bur-
roughs was able To show him but one
bird with which he was not acquainted,
namely. the solitaire.
The Presidents camp was composed
of two Sibley tents and one wall tent
without board floors, and while every
thing WIS very simple, yet Ii was quite
comfortable. The party contested of
Major Pitcher. Mr.. Burroughs. couple
Of orderlies and two cooks. There also
was a small force of men to man the
pack wagon.
During the visit to Geyscrland a few
days ago the President and Mr.. Bur
roughs We're on skis and started to race
downhill. The snow was soft. and Mr..
Burroughs. who had never used ski
before, soon found himself with his head
in the snow and his feet in the air. He
had hardly struggled TO his feet when
the President duplicated the perform
ance. Neither one was hurt, but Major
Pitcher secured excellent photographs of
the catastrophe.
While no accident occurred, the Fresi-
dent had number Of narrow escapes.
One day. in company with Major Pitch

The weapon was effective and the empty
shell flew back AID struck the President
on the cheek, craving the blood If
it had struck a little higher up it would
have injured, if not blinded. one eye. The
President strictls adhered to his deter
mination not to fire shot at a living
animal in the park, and the only time
he discharged hrearm was when he
and Major Pitcher INDUCED in this tar
get practice.
The longest walk enjoyed by the Pres
ident was taken on Easter Sunday. He
started ont alone in the morning, declin-
ing the offer of other members of the
party to accompany him. We spent the
day in climbing mountains and walking
along the trail. He covered fully twenty
miles. and did not return to camp until Z
o'clock in the evening When Major
Pitcher found that the President was
determined TO so by himself he induced
him to take a revolver so that he could
signal in case of accident.

Have your Glover Seed Tested.

The price of clover seed is higher
this year than usual The result is
that large amount of inferior and
adulterated seed is on the market. Con-
siderable seed has been offered which
contains yellow trefoil in varying guam
titles from 3 per cent or per cent to
so per cent. There is but one way
for the farmers to protect themselves
from the use of seed which will not
grow well or contains weeds and adul-
terants. That Is to have 1t tested.
Samples can be obtained from dealers
and sent to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, where they will
be tested both for mechanical purity
and termination. A report Will be sent
within a few days so the purchaser
can know the quality of seed he is
being offered. All tests are made free
of charge. Samples should he sent

Young sheep Best for Feeding.


Head for head, young sheep in the
opinion of Professor John Scott, not
only eat 20 per cent less food, but give
a half more increase in mutton than
old sheep. Any one who takes the
trouble to go over the weights for age
in the various sheep classes at the fairs
and feeding tests will find that the
average daily gain or sheep between
twelve and twenty-four months does
not exceed forty pounds, whereas
lambs under twelve months increase in
weight at the rate of six pounds per
day, or so per cent more increase than
in the older classes Therefore, if we
take 100 youns sheep and 100 older
sheep, each lou consuming equal
weights of food, he former will give
a weekly increase of 504 pounds in
return for their keep. while the latter
will only give an increase of $50
pounds; and st cents per pound in
crease the younger animals will pay
% cents per head per week against
about II cents per head for the older
sheep Massachusetts Ploughman.

NILES MAKES REPORT
CHARGES ARMY MISCONDUCT
IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Instances of Alleged Torture aud
Murder in Various Portions of the

The War Department has made pub
lie the report of Gen. Miles ON his Phil
ippine tour. in which he refers to mis-
conduct of officers and soldiers in the
Philippines. The statements made by
Gen. Miles are the result of his tour of
inspection in the Philippines during the
winter.
The report is dated Feb. 10, 1908. and
is addressed TO the Secretary of War.
He says that in going from Calamba to
Batangas in November last. he noticed
that the country appeared devastated
and that the people were much depress-
ed. Stopping at the Lips, he says 4
party of citizens headed by the Qcting
president met him and stated that shey
desired to make complaint of harsh treat
ment of the people of that community.
saying that they had been concentrated
in town and had suffered great indigni-
ties, THAT fifteen of their people had
been tortured bs what is known as the
: water cure. and that one man. highly
respected citizen, aged TO years, named
Vincente Luna, while suffering from the
effects of the torture and unconscious,
was dragged from his home which had
been set on fire, and was burned to

cities were committed by a company of
scouts under command of Lieut.. Hennes-
