done in the middle or warmest part of
the day. The greater bulk OF the

only recall of one person being stung,

close proximity of my neighbors.
For the sake of making a cOmpari-

yield a profit equivalent to that of FIVE
hens annually, in an average of years.

1t seems also to me that the income
from both sources would balance up
the financial question quite evenly. 1t
is a Well-known fact that the poultry
man receives the largest amount of his
returns in the spring of the year. If
he. therefore, could have the product
OF an apiary to market in the autumn,
he would have what we viii term a
nicely balanced ration TO tide him over
the winter months.
There are probably other reasons
why these two branches of agriculture
could be united TO advantage, but we
beg to leave these few for considera-
ton at present. A great deal of de-
tail work connected with both pursuits
is pleasant and light, and can be per
formed by some of the smaller men,

I, ears at one of the German ex-
pe!lment stations show that a maxi
mum yield of root crops was obtained
only when barnyard manure was used
with commercial fertilizers, says :he
California Cultivator. Even when
very large quantities of nitrate
of soda were used. larger quantities
of nitrogen were taken up by the
plants when the barnyard manure was
used. The increase is attributed to
the mechanical effect that the manure
has on the soil, but it is also stated
that products which receive their nj
trogen from barnyard manure had
more substance than those which re-
ceived the nitrogen from nitrate of
soda; also, larger crops were obtained
from an application of stable manure
than with a heavy application of
potash, phosphoric acid and nitrate of
soda in the form of a complete COM
mercial fertilizer.
1t strikes us very forcibly that the
results show that the barnyard ma
nure gave something more than a me-
chanical effect in the first place and
i'll the case of manure alone as COM
pared with the complete commercial
fertilizer, the natural combination of
the three elements, nitrogen, potash,
and phosphoric acid which were con-
tanned in the manure in the shape of
hold over or unutilized elements which
were in the vegetable matter con-
sumed by the stock, was in a more
wholesome Ito use an unscientiflc
term) condition aud more available
form than the commercial article. We
know that nitrate of soda 1etards the
termination of seeds and liquid ma
nure drainage by washing stable ma
nure) hastens and aids the termination
of seeds. This shows that stable ma
nure is the best form of fertilizer TO be
had with the exception perhaps of
special cases. 1t is the actual test
that tells the tale and two orchards
in the San Gabriel valley that send
out fancy fruit have received an ex-
traordinary amount of stable manure
during their entire existence.
We give the information in answer
to numerous inquiries about practical
results with fertilizers. All we can
do is to give general results and ad-
wise growers to use stable manure
when they can get it, and use it in
conjunction with their commercial
goods, strain point to do that. We
do not say to apply them at the same
time. Get the manure into the soil
as soon as 1t is procurable, so as not
to lose any more nitrogen than can be
helped. Apply the commercial fer
tilizer at different times according to
the crops grown, and use the simplest
we mean, unmixed goods. There is not
such a thing as a chemical combina-
ton of the three elements and they
might as well be applied separately
If you are wise enough to figure out
what proper proportion of the elements
your crop needs, apply them in the
proper proportions and save handling

FARM,
The Cranberry.


OF the native fruits Of America, there
is no other more interesting than the
cranberry. Unlike the blue and buckle
berry. it is not adapted TO a very vide
area of cultivation.
At the present time much the larger
part of the cranberry crop is produced
in the extreme Northeastern section OF
the country along the coast from Maine
to Delaware.
The only state outside of that terri
tory that makes any showing in the
growing of this crop. with its peculiar
needs is Wisconsin. Considerable SOIL
has been found in that far North Cen
trail state that is well adapted to the
growth of this, at times. Indispensable
berry. A recent investigator into the
subject of cranberry growing in the
United States, informs us that OF the
about 10000 acres devoted to the fruit
nenrlv 5000 acres are located in Wis
consin. In area New Jersey leads all
other states. having $500 acres, but
Massachusetts, with only 800 acres
produces nearly three times the NUMBER
of bushels of cranberries. The latter
state in 1900, on 500 acres, produced
10000 bushels. while New Jersey FROM
$500 acres, raised only 100000 bushels
wisconsin. from $500 acres, gathered
only III 900 bushels. or about nineteen
bushels per acre. Massachusetts soil,
the statistics say, produced an average
of 1l9 bushels per acre.
The three states named produces 80
Der cent. Of the total crop in this coun-
try. Little Rhode Island devotes 300
acres to cranberries and averaged
TWENTY-FIVE bushels per acre. Connec-
ticut. with 275 acres, averaged twenty
five bushels, and Michigan, on $50
acres. averaged twenty-siX bushels per
acre.
Oregon, with only six acres, averaged
119 bushels per acre, which is the larS-
est yield of all
few other states are credited with
one acre each, producing twenty-five 10
.seventy-fve bushels per acre.
Now and thsn. influenced by snort
crops, cranberries sell for price as
high as S12 to SIS per barrel in New
York, hut the usual price is s. to IS.
Would you know more about cranberry
culture? If so, send to United States

Types of Hogs.

The desirable type of hog should
have good length showing sides in
clined to be fiat. The ribs should be
sprung fairly we'll from the back, says
j. E. Brethour. You want a slightly
arched back. If you have a fiat back
you have a fat pig. If you get a pig
hollow in the back, you surely get the
fat distributed away from the back
and filled in along the side The idea is
to get the flash evenly distributed all
the way along, so that when the car
cass is dressed, it is not one-half fat.
The flesh should be firm. not hard
and stringy. In the latter case you
are likely to get a pig that is an old
one held back and not in proper
bloom. You want good hair without
the bristles being coarse. A curly
coat is not generally desirable. You
usually get thicker hair with a curly
coat than with a straight one. The
desirable type of hog is we'll covered
over the loins. with smooth. even
shoulders not wider than the loins;
neck not long. but muscular, without
crest of fat The under line and up
per line should be parallel, showing
evenness of depth through heart and
tanks. The hams should be nicely Ia
pered without bullying behind, indi-
eating a lean, fieshy ham, well down
to the hooks. The flesh should show
no looseness or habbiness about
TANKS, ham or belly, the latter show
ing trim and straight underline. The
head should be smooth. not carrying
any superhuous fat about the jowls.
The face should have an intelligent
expression with good breadth between
the eyes. showing well developed
skull.

Decayed vegetable matter is humus.
To have a good soil we must have
supply of vegetable matter in it, says
the Farmers Review. The chief adj
vantage of this is in enabling the soil
to hold water to a greater degree than
would be the case did il not contain
water. The Eastern gardeners nave
been surprised sometimes to md that
their soils would not respond TO COM
mercial fertilizers and that the land
was becoming apparently very subject
10 drought. The trouble was that the
humus had been exhausted by year
after year growing crops upon II by
the help of commercial fertilizers with
out putting on particle of barnyard
manure or turning under green crops.
At the Minnesota experiment station
tests were made on soils with good
supply of humus and those with little.
as to water content. on one soil the
humus was found to be 3.35 per cent.
Of all. The water content was 1913
per cent. The other soil contained %
per cent. of humus. and the water con-
tent was 12.14 per cent Of the total.
This difference has been figured out
as about a quart OF water per cubic
foot of soil. which would mean over TO-,
600 gallons to the acre. In a dry sea-
son InlS QlIeTeNCe would De very
great factor in the maturing of the
crop.
Plants do not eat; they drink. Ali
food is taken in a liquid condition. If
the water is absent the plant starves.
The humus supply is, therefore, of
prime importance in the developing
OF our farm crops. There is another
great advantage in having a soil rich
in humus. and that is that the soil
does not give of its water so rapidly
as do soils where the humus is want
ing. The roots go after the food and
moisture. and get them, but the water
does not so rapidly pass TO the surface
as sub-earth mulch if such a term
be allowa bic. 1t binders the pumps
of the sun and wind from taking
moisture out of the soil but helps
them to take the moisture from the
leaves of the plants, which method is
serviceable to man.
At the station mentioned the two
soils were saturated with the same
amount of water and exposed to the
sun and wind for ten hours At the
end of that time the soil with the
largest amount of humus contained
6.12 per cent. of its water while the
other soil contained only 394 per cent.

A correspondent writes, asking for
some information about the fly that at
tacks his COWS and other cattle in the
summer This fly was very bad last
season and caused the mich cows to
fall off considerably in their milk,
while they were on the very best pas
ture and fed twice a day with bran.
Is there and cheap way of preventing
these flies from laying their eggs on
cattle and what is the best way OF rid
ding them Of the maggots that hatch
out under the skim"
The botfiy of cattle is a different
species from the bot of horses and is
different in it's habits. The flies are on
the wing from late spring until fall.
They are about a half inch long, black,
with yellow hairs. The body has two
yellow and white bands around it. The
eggs are laid along the back of the
cows and as they hatch out the tiny
grubs bore their way just under the
hide. where they remain and continue
to grow for several weeks. Their pres
ence will soon be indicated by Jumps
as large as a small marble. By max
ing a small cut with a sharp penknife
or lancet the maggots can be pressed
out with thumb and finger. 1t is rath-
er a tedious business with a large num-
Der of cattle. They MAY be prevented
by greasing along the backs of the
cattle with grease of some kind, in
which sulphur is mixed But this must
be done in good time, before the flies
make their appearance. Fish oil is
said TO be some better than any other
form of grease. but lard or cotton seed
oil with sulphur has been found ef-
fective. The maggots or MARBLES OF
wolves" as they are variously called
can also be destroyed under the skin
by rubbing thoroughly along the back
with this same grease and sulphur.
They are very annoying to cattle, and
do unquestionably reduce the flow Of
milk when they appear in numbers, as
they do some seasons, and when al.

Corn for Poultry.

Corn is a most excellent food for all
kinds of poultry. but it's abuse has
been the source of innumerable fail
ures. =
We cannot expect to get results from
any food unless we use little common
sense in feeding, and especially is this
true of corn. one of the most fatten-
ing of all the cereal products.
During the cold winter months corn
is almost an absolute necessity, as the
animal heat requires to be kept up,
but it must not be thrown to the fowls
so that they may gouge themselves. 1t
is better for them if set in the oven
and partially roasted and fed while
warm, or rather scattered in the litter.

Cracked corn is good for growing
chickens, but, as with the old fowls,
should be fed rather sparingly.
Oats and corn should construct the
principal grain food for poultry, and
