GLOWING AFTER AARvEsr.

During the present season when
the rainfall has been SO abundant 1t
will doubtless be true that many grain
fields will be found to be well stocked
with weeds, which viii develop rapidly
after harvest and mature their seeds
early When such a condition exists
1t is impossible to get the plow in
the field too soon, as 1t will be neces.
sary to turn these weeds under before
tho seed has sufficiently matured to
admit Of their termination. On the
other hand, where the stubble-feld is
comparatively free from weeds 1t will
be found to be a very good plan to
disk the field and thus allow the shat
tered grain and weed seeds to germin-
ate and furnish pasture until time for
blowing for the next season. This
plan also has the merit of protecting
the soil against washing in heavy rain
falls and teaching It's substance and
thus injuring its fertility. In all such
matters the farmer will be guided
by circumstances. 1t may be sufficient
to NOV the field and SO destroy the
seed crop OF the weeds and at the
same time preserve a stand Of stubble
and second growth that win protect
the land against washing. In the
great wheat regions it will be found
generally true that the man who plows

PLANT A FEW NUTS.

The fall is just the season to plant
nuts, just as the winter is coming
on. They should always be planted
while fresh. Nature rarely allows nuts
to get very dry or they will not
sprout, at least not readily. They are
dropped on the ground and covered
with leaves by Mother Nature, and
some are carried off and buried by
the squirrels. This keeps them moist
and the kernels fresh and in a natur-
al condition. They are ready to start
early the next spring, and most kinds
OF nuts do begin to grow early. They
should never be planted deep. Nature
does not do 1t, and the closer we
follow the principles OF nature the
more successful we will usually be.
We all know how difficult It is to
transplant nut trees, because of their
deep tap roots and few side branches.
Therefore it Is advisable to plant the
nuts where the trees are to grow, If
possible. They should have the soil
well prepared, and enriched, especially
with leaf mold and old material. Press
the nuts into the mellow soil with
the foot and lay brick in place and
let them absolutely alone. Put two
or three in each place. to make sure
of the growth of one. If more than
one grows the extra one can easily
be pulled out. When spring comes
take off the bricks or stones and the
sprout will soon appear.
Select places where each nut can
develop into large trees. We have al
ways heard that tall oaks from little
acorns grow" and the same is true
of walnuts, chestnuts, hickorynuts
and most other kinds.--Prof Van De-
man.
