TranspIanting Evergreens.

The farmer and stock breeder are
coming to realize more fully than ever
before the practical Importance Of
evergreens. They not only add to the
comfort of both man and beast. but
also have a direct dollars and cents
bearing upon the amount of fuel saved
in the home, or fuel in the form of
feed for stock. This year there will
be thousands of evergreens set out in
the territory of our readers. To those
who have such plans in mind we de-
sire to offer a few suggestions
The same care or lack of care which
will bring success with most plants will
result in failure with evergreens. There
are two important reasons for this fact.
The life period in an evergreen is strict
ly different from that of other woody
plants. Deciduous trees have two dis
tinct stages, an active or the summer
period, and a dormant or the winter
period. These plants can best with
stand extremes in the dormant period.
Evergreens hold their leaves and never
assume an entirely dormant stage,
hence they are less able to Withstand
extremes, and any operation, such as
transplanting, requires greater care.
The second reason is due to the pecu-
liar character of the sap in evergreens.
1t is of distinctly resinous character
and whenever exposed to the air for
even a short period it solidifes. Once
this resinous matter in the sap becomes

Vitality of Corn.

1t frequently happens that a poor
corn crop is the fruit of ten or fifteen
minutes carelessness on the part of
a man sows so shall he reap, is
especially true in growing corn for
the reason that a comparatively small
amount of seed is used, and unless
such seed is good a full crop cannot
be expected. In case of the smaller
cereals it frequently happens that a
percentage of the grains do not grow,
but those that germinate partly make
UP for this by stooling out to a greater
extent.
The seed corn supply is likely on
hand at present and all that can be
done now is to ascertain it's vitality,
this being necessary in order to throw
a little light on the thickness of plant
ing A hundred kernels of corn, wrap
ped up in a wet cloth and stored in a
small covered box, will do the work
If this is kept at about the temper
allure of ordinary living rooms, and is
also moistened from time to time One
would be safe in guessing that much
of the corn that will be planted this
spring will not give a termination test
of more than rs per cent. Should such
corn be planted so as to insure three
stalks to the hill on the basis of per-
feet termination, disappointment will
result On the other hand, if it is
known that one-quarter of the corn is
worthless the plates in the planter
can be so arranged as to plant just
that much more seed. While this is a
somewhat haphazard method of doing
this, yet it may be the best plan un-
der the circumstances; that is, when
the opportunity for getting good seed
corn has passed.
One should take special pains to as
certain the vitality of seed corn that
has been kept in a warm, unventilated
room during the winter. Acting on
the advice that it is not advisable to
put seed corn in the ordinary crib.
many have gone to the opposite ex-
IRENE and have made even a more Sc
rious mistake by storing the corn in a
warm garnet where there is but little
Ventilat ton Throughout a large part
Of the corn belt much of the crop was
watery last fall, so that there is

Feeding Alfalfa to Horses.

At the Wyoming station the amount
of alfalfa hay required to maintain
farm horses performing little work and
driving horses at light work was
studied by F. E. Emery, the. alfalfa
being supplemented by some oats
straw. The work horses We're occa-
sionally harnessed, but did not work
much. They were fed alfalfa only in
the stable and ordinarily were allowed
to run out of doors and have free ac-
cess to water and a straw pile, but
were given no grain. 1t was found
that they maintained their weight on
an average when eating 1875 pounds of
good alfalfa hay per day per 1000
pounds live weight in addition to some
straw. The amount of straw required
to balance the alfalfa ration was next
studied, and it was found that the
daily ration eaten was 1915 pounds of
alfalfa hay and 2.25 pounds oat straw
per l 900 pounds live weight. A SINH
lar test was made with driving horse
required to perform moderate amount
of work. He was driven six miles a
day at a pace which was nearly the
limit of his road gait. 1t was found
that his weight, Ito to 1900 pounds,
was maintained on a ration of 21.25
pounds alfalfa hay and "a pounds cat
straw, or III and 2.S3 pounds, re-
spectively, per 1000 pounds live weight.
According to the author, there was
every reason to believe that the ration
was sufficient to maintain the horse,
he did not gain in weight.
These tests are especially interesting,
since they furnish experimental proof
of the feeding value of alfalfa hay for
horses

ence Of the scab on the potato checks
growth and so reduces the yield. Such
potatoes should be cooked and fed to
stock. They should not be fed raw, be-
cause then the spores will pass through
into the potato crop the next year.
Not infrequently the farmer will use
seed from a lot of scabby potatoes,
thinking that because he has picked
out the smooth potatoes no scab will
be planted with them. But the spores
Of these minute fungi are very small
and one cannot be sure that his seed
so selected will not prove to be the
conveyor of the disease. When such
seed is to be used it should be treated
to a bath of water in which has been
dissolved a quantity of corrosive sub
Innate. The maner of treating potatoes
with this solution is about as follows:
Select barrel and fit into the base a
common wooden faucet. Into two gal
Ions of hot water put two ounces of
finely pulveriZed corrosive sublimate
and let the solution stand over night
or till the corrosive sublimate is dis
solved. Put in the barrel about thir-
teen gallons of water and add to that
the other two gallons of the solution
That will make about half a barrel of
liquid. 1t is better to let this solution
stand four or five hours before using
and during this time it should be fire.
quently stirred. This is to insure the
complete solution of the poison. The
potatoes to be put into this should be
washed and at least partly dried Then
the barrel may be filled about full of
potatoes, or enough MAY be put in to
come to the top of the solution but all
must be covered by it. Leave the po-
tatoes in the solution for an hour and
half. Then draw off the solution
to be used over again if desired The
potatoes may be treated whole or cut
Corrosive sublimate is a poison and
should be carefully handled All treat
ed potatoes should be planted, lest they
be eaten by stock or people. Corrosive
subimate should not be put in metal
lie vessels. 1t is always wise to plant
on ground that has not borne scabby
potatoes, and they should not be ma
nured with barnyard manure that has
resulted partly from scabby potatoes
fed to the stock.

DEER SHOWED FIGHT.

The pet deer at the Tampa Bay Ho-
tel was killed Thursday by D. w. Wig
gins, superintendent of the Tampa Bay
Hotel Company, in self-defense. The
deer had been a conspicuous pet at the
hotel for the past seven years, but
during the winter season the animal
had become unruly and at times real
ly dangerous. Thursday the deer got
out from the enclosure and was on
the war path in great style. Mr. Wig
gins was away from the house at the
time, and three men connected with
the hotel were guarding the ferocious
animal with clubs and knives to pre-
vent him from doing bodily harm to
visitors to the grounds. AS soon as
Mr.. Virgins returned home he and
his assistants endeavored to corral the
animal and put him back in the en-
