Stock Helps the Farm.

From Farmers Review: We now

ing calves. The calves from the milk.
ers we raise by hand. The farm can.
not be kept up without the raising OF
some stock. What rest you give the
land from the pillow is clear gain, as
you will not have enough manure to
fertillze It all. In the raising OF cat
tie you do not have to build so much
fence as in the raising of hogs and
sheep. With cattle you need only
three or four wires and q post every
16 feet. With cattle we get much val
liable manure, and can turn OF a good
carload Of steers every two years and
have some hogs to sell In addition.
Then you can turn over field OF clio
yer in the fall, and will get a corn
crop the next year averaging rs or 80
bushels per acre.-C. II. Townsend,

PolIination of Apples,

The Farmers Review has several
times called the attention of apple
growers to the necessity for providing
for cross-pollination of apple trees.
Until within the last few years 1t was
never doubted that every variety of
apple tree was able to pollinate itself.
The discovery Of the partial self-ster-
ility of pears led to the investigation
OF other fruits, and 1t was discovered
that even the apple was very largely
the fruit Of s-pollination. Investi-
cations have been continued for sew
eral years both by private persons and
w officials paid out of the public
treasury and surprising amount of
information has been secured. Nature
seems to abhor Standardization of
any kind. In the case of apples some
OF the pistils are so curved and elon-
gated that Standardization Is practi-
cally impossible. Some of the varie-
ties of apples appear to be partially
self-fertile, and to differ in this re-
gard in different localities. Thus, with
the Ben Davis, experiments made in
Vermont showed that the variety was
self-sterile, no fruit being produced
when Ben Davis was fertilized by Ben
Davis. In Kansas 100 blossoms OF Ben
Davis fortified with Ben Davis gave
S6 apples. But in many cases trees
OF this variety are certain to prove
barren when fortified with their own
pollen. If only 26 fruits could be set
under the best condition and with the
best care Of the tree, what Is likely
to happen in most orchards where con-
ditions OF existence are far harder.
Though rs apples of the Ben Davis
variety set, they were inferior in hard
mess and there was decided tend
ency to drop. Every year we receive
reports of the extensive dropping of
apples. We believe this is due very
largely to Standardization. Each tree
has on 1t fruits produced from both
selffertilized and cross-fertilized Bios
SONS. The tree so far as possible
drops its undesirable loads Of fruit
from Standardization. The remedy
would seem to be to plant near to-
gether different varieties, that larger
per cent of the fruits may be the re-
suit of cross-polllnation. This should
result in a smaller per cent of the
fruits being dropped. Though some
varieties of apples seem to be to a
limited degree self-fertile, yet it is
far safer plan to assume that all
apples need cross-pollination and set
the trees observation-disclosures Re

Some Irritation Profits.

The United States Department OF
Agriculture reports series of expert
ments for testing the effect of irriga.
ton and fertilization on sandy soils,
such as are common In large sections
Of Michigan, Wisconsin and Mlnneso-
Ia. These lands are poor in plant
food, and retain 80 little moisture that
all attempts to farm them have failed.
ihe experiments included the supply
ing Of both manure and water. Ma.
nure alone was Of little use, as there
was not water enough to make the
plant food available. Water alone pro-
duced good results, but the applIca-
ton OF both gave the best results. The
cost Of irrigation was $3.50 per acre,
and the net gain from irrigation was
as follows: Potatoes, $50 per acre;
corn, 81 per acre; watermelons, $58
per acre; muskmelons, s45 per acre.
From these experiments 1t seems that
With special crops irrigation of the
sandy lands is profitable, but the in
crease In yield of corn is not enough
to Justify the expense of securing a
water supply. In New Jersey water
has been used on small fruits and veg
etables, and the added returns due
to irrigation vary great deal with
tin seasons. Some years no irrigation
is needed, in others all crops need 1t,
but in most years some crops are
helped by It. Professor Voorhees,, who
has charge Of this work, reports that
In his opinion irrigation where tried
has paid well. Pumping from streams
or wells is the most common way Of
getting water for fruit and garden IT.

ter enough for from FIVE to ten acres,
including pump and engine, cost from
5000 To $500.

To Kill chinch Buus.

The Maine Station Is sending adj
vice as to the fall and winter treat.
ment of the chinch bugs. 1t recon-
mends three methods:
L. Burning. Where there Is consid.
cradle clover mixed with the hun.
garian or timothy the bugs are very
likely to winter over beneath the clo-
yer which borders for few feet or
yards Immediately upon the spot
where they have stopped injuring the
grass. II such strip be moved close
ly by hand and allowed to dry for
few days it may be burned over and
quantities Of the bugs will be killed.
II this burning be done after the
ground has frozen, little, if any, injury
will be done to the crop. All rubbish
such as dried grass and weeds along
the edges Of fields, brush heaps, dead
leaves, bark and chips, clumps Of wild
grasses, sedge grasses etc., in nearby
fields should be burned as completely
as possible.
2. Spraying. Chinch bugs are
quickly killed by kerosene or kerosene
emulsion, but 1t is essential that 1t be
thoroughly applied The bugs are so
protected by the clover and grass that
1t is almost impossible to reach them
by ordinary spraying. Sprlnkling
freely over the infested spots will usu'
ally be effectual, but will probably kill
the grass also. Clumps Of sedge or
wild grass in which careful examina-
ton shows the bugs to be abundant
might be sprinkled thoroughly with
kerosene and then burned, thus kill
ing bugs which had crowded deep
down among the bases Of the plants,
where the flames alone might not
reach them.
8. Flowing. Where bugs are found
In considerable numbers at the edges
of spots which they have eaten over,
they may be destroyed by blowing I'M
der the strip in which they are hiding.
Deep blowing, however, is necessary,
followed by dragging and rolling in
order to completely cover under all
vegetation and close up all holes or
passages through which the bugs
might make their way to the surface.
If used promptly and thoroughly,
these methods are also applicable
when the bugs are found to be work
ing during early summer and are all
the more effective because the bugs
do not scatter over the whole field,
but stay together in comparatively
small areas or strips, and II they are
promptly killed over such patches
further injury for the season will be
very much lessened.

Improving Iowa Gutter.

The test of dairy butter being con-
Quoted by Prof. G. L. Mckay of the
Iowa Experiment Station, Is doing
much to improve the quality Of the
butter being produced by the cream
cries of that state. Arrangement has
been made. with a large number Of
creameries by which their butter is
tested. The contest is to last twelve
months. The blank that is filled by
each man that sends in a sample Of
butter is very complete and requires
the answering of questions that win
shed a great deal Of light on the
practices followed in Iowa. Among
the questions asked are, date of max
ing the butter, whether from hand
separator cream or from whole milk,
condition Of milk or cream at time Of
making the sample, manner of heating
the milk previous to skimmlng per-
centage of fat in cream after starter
was ADDED, quantity of starter used,
kind of starter, ripening temperature,
degree of acidity, churning tempera-
ture, amount Of salt used. In scoring
the butter, 45 points are allowed for
flavor, rs for body, Is for color, 10
for salt and for style. The butter
as soon as received is scored by Pro-
fessor Mckay. After being kept for
some days 1t Is shipped to New York
and there scored by Mr.. Healy, an
expert judge Of butter. The chemist
then analyses the butter, and 1t Is
often surprising how his work carries
out the opinions of The judges. The
chemist settles the questions as to
fat, moisture, curd, salt and ash.
These judgings and the analyses
show many things about each sample
Of butter, and indicate where the
maker could improve his work, A full
report is sent to the maker of the
sample and the best course to improve
his product pointed out. Sometimes,
when the case seems to demand it,
the inspector Is sent to the creamery
and the buttermaker shown how to
overcome the obstacles In the way of
making first-class butter. This is
good work, but it is done with a
handicap, as Iowa has but a single
inspector, Canada has 80 inspectors
for the butter and cheese factories,
and Minnesota has NIX. Nevertheless,
we are confident tut good work is
being done, and that Iowa butter will
continue to improve.
