We all know the Importance of mois-
ture in plant-growth. We generally
know this more by the losses our
plants suffer when the moisture sup
ply is sufficient for their needs than
by our actual knowledge of the close
relation moisture bears to the life of
crops, says F. w. McFarren.
1t is not extensively known and I'M
derstood among farmers that plant
growth depends much more on the
stored moisture of the earth than
upon the actual rainfall during the
growing season. If this one principle
were fully appreciated by farmers 1t
seems to me they would take more in
telligent measures than are common
toward the practical conservation OF
the moisture in the soil. There would
be more organic matter plowed down,
a greater effort would be made to Sc
cure and maintain humus, ploWlnS
would be done more carefully, and the
f1ning of the soil and the frequent
shallow stirring of it in crops suscept-
IDLE of cultivation would be the prac-
tice on every farm. The supply OF
moisture would be guarded jealousy
as the greatest treasure OF the farm
er's earth, and his plants would not
drcop nor his crops often fail for lack
of it. j..
Plant food is not migratory, roaming
around in its province seeking FOR
some hur CRY plant to devour it. True,
such of the elements as are soluble in
water are carried in solution in the
water as it follows a course, but little
deviating from a straight line, up
ward, as the sunlight draws it. The
insoluble or slowly soluble elements
lie at rest, and if the plant would have
them, it must send a rootlet feeder,
out after them. Herein we see the inn
portance of the soil filled with humus
and reduced by tillage into the great
est possible number of particles, so
that the soil to be occupied by the
roots that it shall feed shall be most
capable of holding water, which, by
reason of the fineness of the soil-par-
ticles, shall be entirely saturated or
mOiStened.

An acre in some corner should be
set aside for post growing. The Bureau
of Forestry has. recently published a
forestry bulletin on growing the hardy
catalpa for wood, posts, etc. The cdtal-
pa makes an excellent post which
will last 80 years. Much depends upon
the soil, but young catalpa trees should
make good posts in six or eight years
The osase orange also makes last
ing post. Sometimes there is an old
Usage orange hedge which has so grown
up that the trees can be cut and used
for posts. If cut down close to the
ground the hedge will rapidly regroW
itself and make thick and almost i'm
pervious fence.
The objection that the roots of an
old Usage draw the ground" for a tree
row on either side, can be met up by
running a deep furrow alongside and
five or six feet from the hedge once a
year, and breaking the roots. This will
not injure the hedge If good results
are expected from the post acre it
should be located on as good land as
there is on the farm and well watered
and it will grow posts for one hundred
acres or more.

The Frigid Zone.
For Summer Homes.

What housekeeper wouldn't jump at
the chance of keeping her provisions in
a cave in an iceberg near the North
Pole?
And yet a REFRIGERATOR is bet
ter in a dozen ways-if it's a good one
Take the "ODORLESS REFRIGER-
ATORS' for instance.
They offer cold storage place that
is splendidly ventilated. They are en-
tirely different from the usual refrige-
rator, which is simply a cold, damp en-
closure that sweats the foods and mix
es the odors of the various provisions
in the alright closet. Simply cold air
is not good. Goodness alone will not
preserve food. A damp air of low
temperature will discolor meats and
make them sticky. A cold dry air at
high temperature will keep them firm.
The ideal refrigerator, and this is the
"Odorless," produces a dry cold air of
low temperature, because of the scien-
tific invention which produces circu-
lation of cold air from the ice chamber,
that is carried down through a cold
air-aue between heavy walls to the
lowest point of the food chamber, fore
ing up a lighter and warmer air to the
top of the provision chamber, where it
open air outside, and cannot get back
again over the ice. Any housekeeper
will recognize the logic of this theory
Mrs. Rorer and other experts on good
housekeeping have been enthusiastic
in their praises of the "Odorless" Re-
frigerators. Their construction through
out is just as thorough and successful
as the scientific arrangement of the air
circula ton. Prices are very reaSOna BILE

Upland Rice Culture.

The rice of the Southern states is of
more Importance than a good many
people have any idea of, for it is very
satisfactory crop to grow If properly
managed from the start, writes e. Q.
McQuarrie in Florida Agriculturist.
Land intended for this crop should be
we'll plowed in the spring and allowed
to lie for a time untouched so that the
soil will get we'll packed before plant
ing, for rice unlike most crops, does
best in land that has been plowed for
some time before planting the seed.
But when ready to plant the crop a
cultivator or heavy harrow should be
run over the land once each day for
the purpose of breaking the crust that
has formed since the plowing has been
DONE After the first working in this
way the fertilizer for the crop should
be broadcasted and worked into the
soil at the next working.
The fertilizer used should be of a
high grade to give best results. On
an ordinary piney woods land it is adj
visable to use about 800 pounds per
acre of fertilizer analysing eight per
cent. potash, six per cent. phosphoric
acid and about per cent. nitrogen. A
fertilizer of this grade will come high
in price, but like most things the most
expensive is the cheapest in the end,
for liberal treatment with fertilization
of all crops is true economy because
it insures paying crops and the labor
on a we'll fertilized crop does not cost
any more than on a crop not we'll fer
tilized
The mode of planting the crop diff
fers with the section of where ii is
grown. In some places where the soil
is stiff and very fertile naturally, the
seed is broadcasted about two bushels
to the acre and narrowed in. The fav-
orite method in most of the gulf states
is to plant in drills. thirty inches apart
Others plant in hills about ten inches
apart in drills about two feet wide
The latter mode I practice entirely
now because the crop can be cultivat-
ed as its needs demand 1t and grass
and weeds can be kept under control
easier where it is in hills than in a
continuous drill.
As already stated. this crop on the

Remedies for FIens.

Is the subject of Bulletin "a of the
New Hampshire Experiment Station,
by Albert F. Conradi. These insects,
which are annoying pests to SQUIRE
dwelling houses, breed commonly in
cats and dogs. Persian insect powder
is unsatisfactory, but creolin washes
have proved both effective, economical
and easily applied. Creolin is used
diluted to a per cent solution for
dogs and to a 2 per cent solution for
cats. Four teaspoonfuls to a quart
of water makes a per cent mixture.
The easiest way to apply is to sub
merge the animal in it, and keep it
there for a few minutes until the fur
or hair is thoroughly saturated. This
wash will kill the fleas and is also use
full as deodorizer No further treat
ment of the animal is necessary. A
per cent solution should be applied
to floors and bedding on which animals
rest.

FARM,
Cotton Seed Hull Ashcs-Kainit.

Cotton Seed Hull Ashcs-k Init.
An inquirer" asks If we can in
form him when cotton seed hull
ashes can be bought and at what price
and what are their value compared TO
kainit?'
We cannot We believe that nearly
all the mills have ceased using the
huns as fuel The hulls have appre-
ciated so in value in the past few
years as food for cattle the mills find
it more profitable to use other fuel
and sell the hulls TO those farmers
and dairynen who fail to raise the
necessary hay for their cattle. In the
past year or two the hulls have COM
manded a price as high as Sc per ton
and so long as anything like this sum
can be procured for them they will
probably not be used for fuel. They
are used also to some extent in the
manufacture of paper.
The ashes have a remarkable Vari-
alton in their contents of potash and
phosphoric acid. Some samples will
show two or three times as much pot
ash and phosphoric acid as contained
in other samples. We are given the
average analysis of many samples, as
follows: Potash. % per cent; phos-
phoric acid, 81 per cent. The price
should be governed by the actual con-
tents of potash and phosphoric acid.
Kainit is more uniform in its con-
tents of potash, having II to ID per
cent. There is no phosphoric acid in
kainit.

Weed Pests.

"eCu
As the summer advances, weeds null
tiply rapidly, covering waste land, va
can lots and fence corners in count
less millions. Not only in the uncul-
tivated fields, but in our gardens and
corn fields as WELL we must combat
the hosts which would overwhelm and
crowd out our crops, says the Indiana
Farmer. To do this successfully we
must Have some knowledge of the hab-
it's of our enemies-for plants have
habits as well as animals, their time
of Towering, seeding, how propagated
and methods of eradication.
Probably the most widely distribnt-
ed and most numerous family is the
Crucifers, or Mustardworts, with which
every one is familiar. There are many
species, of which the shepherds purse.
tonguegIAss, hedge and field mustard
are most common. They thrive in pas
lures, fields and roadsides, and are
propa gated by means of seeds borne
in splender pods, one plant producing
hundreds, sometimes thousands of mi
mute seeds, which are scattered broad
cast by the winds The plants blossom
from May to August. If they are NOW
ed down while in blossom, several years
in succession a farm may be cleared
of them; cooperation is necessary
here, for one man could do little If
neighboring farmers allowed weeds to
mature.
One of our worst weeds is the horse
nettle. native of the South which
has slowly spread northward and west
ward until it is now found in every
state east of the Mississippi. 1t grows
to the hight of a foot or more, bearing
white and purple bell-shaped flowers
at the end of each branch. The stems
are covered with stout yellow prIckles.
The fruit, which ripens late in the
summer, is yellow, nearly half an inch
in diameter and filed with numerous
fiat seeds. The plant is also propa gated
by root stalks and cultivation tends to
spread, rather than destroy it. Once
the plant gains a firm hold it is almost
| ineradicable. If development above
ground is wholly prevented. the roots
will die.
The Russian thistle, an annual i'm
ported from Russia, has spread rapidly
and is particularly injurious in the
Central States, though it has also
caused much trouble in the West and
Northwest. The small purple flowers
are borne in racemes in July and Au-
gust. The weeds are blown about, thus
distributing the seeds over wide
area.
The seeds of many weeds are of such
character that they are easily scat
tered. Those of the wild lettuce, milk
weed and several thistles bear a tuft
of silk hairs by which they are enabled
TO float or sail through the air to a
great distance. The cockleburr bur-
dock, carrots and others have a prick
ly covering by which they easily be-
come attached to passing animals. One
plant of this class, the wild carrot, has
received much attention during the
past two years. 1t is adaptable to all
soils and climates and spreads rapidly.
It's broad racemes of white flowers APP
pear from June until frost. 1t causes
little trouble in Well titled land, but
in pasture is very injurious and can
only be subdued by persistent moving
and grubbing.

Southern farm is very profitable one,
and one that hardly fails to give good
results where conditions are made
right by the grower I say made right,
because some farmers by their slip
shod methods fail to make crop OF II
and then blame the crop, whereas the
blame lies entirely with the man that
made the crop. One very important
thing in this connect ton is to plant
early, some wait until all other crops
are planted and then plant the rice
crop. This is altogether wrong, the
rice crop should be about the very first
to receive attention after spring opens
and if planted in April a second and
even a third cutting may be had be-
fore frost, and sometimes the second
cutting is better than the first. Of
course at every cutting a little fer
tilizer should be applied to keep a
backbone, as it were, in the soil and
cultivation and attention should be
given it.
The variety to plant is also to be
we'll considered, because a good deal
depends on this. The old variety that
requires from one hundred and thirty
to one hundred and sixty days to make
a crop is not as profitable as the new
er varieties that make in ninety to one
hundred days. The Japanese variety
is the best all round to plant, for it
makes in ninety days and is a small.
plump grain and more certain to fill
than the older and larger grains. We
have known crops of rice of these OLD
varieties that never amounted to any
thing as far as grain was concerned,
for when the time came for filing out,
something was lacking in the soil and
hay was all the crop yielded. The
best explanation for this state of af-
fairs was an unbalanced fertilizer
used, deficiency in potash preventing
the grain from filing out or perhaps
an excess of phosphoric acid or nitro
gen or both.
But this holds true for all crops as
we'll as rice. properly balanced fer
tilizer is necessary to give satisfa Glory
results in all cases. The question most
often asked in connection with this
crop is the yield per acre. To this l
would say all depends on conditions,
treatment of the crop and the season.
Forty bushels per acre is not an I'M
common yield, but the half of that is
very satisfactory crop, taking every
thing into consideration. At this time
of the year a great many inquiries
come to hand regarding this crop. The
foregoing are a few remarks on it
prompted by these inquiries.
