Supplying water to Plants.

1t is not easily understood by some
that plants can be overwatered. But
the fact is, they may be literally
drowned, and this often happens.
The position of water in the life
workings of plant is chiefly that OF
carrier; it is taken up by the roots,
carries food to all parts of the plant
and mostly passes off in the atmos-
phere through the leaves. This rou.
tine is necessary; without it growth
cannot be made, while surfeit OF
water brings decay of the parts in
touch with the excess.
The times when overwatering is most
possible are when plant is without
leaves, dormant or nearly so, and
water cannot be used speedily; when
the soil is heavy and does not give up
the moisture quickly; when plant has
been recently transplanted and new
feeding fibers have not been formed to
take up the moisture, and when ever,
greens are in question, the leaves OF
which do not pass the water so readily
House plants may suffer for lack OF
regular watering IL the atmosphere be
warm; thorough soaking, but that
once is all that is needed. and that the
plant can well stand.

A writer gives the following cure
for baiky horses: Take a small rope
and firmly attach it TO the horses tail.
Take turn on the doubletree or cross
bar, giving slack enough to tighten the
traces. If the horses refuse to pull
tighten this rope until the draft comes
on the tail. No horse ever refuses to
pull by his tail. When the horse starts
the tail-hold may be relaxed until the
draft comes on the traces again. Many
baking horses will refuse to start, and
Others will start off all right, but If
stopped will refuse TO pull. The way
TO treat this form of vice is to pull on
the tail rope until the draft comes par
tally ON the tail. Then he will go.
The tail draft may then be gradually
relaxed until all the draft rests on the
traces. Persist in this treatment and
a permanent reformation is a sure re.

tally in the matter. If there is no
straw that can be used for bedding
any waste material available can be
substituted. Some farmers use large
quantities of sawdust, and shavings
from the mills are found available.
Anything that will absorb the liquid

clean will answer good purpose. The
hogs will use up and turn into good

Late Flowing.

With proper management plowlng
can be followed until the ground
freezes. There are some kinds of
soils, particularly of heavy or cloggy
texture, that it is considered better to
plow late, thus exposing to the action
of the winter frosts. Some farmers
like to plant corn on grass land man.
ured in the fall and then plowed as
late as possible before planting, in this
way turning under considerable
amount of vegetable material along
with the manure, thus getting excel
lent results in the crops grown. This
plan makes more spring work, but to
a certain extent it may be, and doubt
less is, profitable course to pursue.
Farmers should be fully persuaded in
their own minds as to these things,
and follow the methods that exper-
ience proves to be the most satisfac-
tory and profitable for them.

GROWING COMPEAs.

Cowpeas are easily grown and will
do well on any well prepared soil
that is not t, } sad and wet. The crop
is especially suited to the loans and
% the clay soils that are high, well
drained and well worked.
Soils that fail TO produce profitable
crops of corn, clover wheat or timothy
will often yield a fair crop of cowpeas.
Break the land deep; work the soil down
fine; get the seedbed free from clods;
make 1t compact and be sure 1t con-
tains abundant moisture TO germinate
the peas at once. Plant after corn
planting Is over this season, near the
middle of June. BY that time the soil
Is warm and the peas will grow Mt
once. This late planting gives oppor-
tunity to destroy the annual weeds
that appear. thus preventing their in
terferlng with the ccwpeas later in the
summer.
If the peas are Intended for hay the
last cultivation should be followed
with the drag. The surface should be
perfectly level and no clods should
be allowed TO be scattered to interfere
with the mower when cutting. If the
surface is not made level, cutting and
raking the hay will cause much dirt to
scatter with it. Any one wishing to
grow peas for the first time can get
much help from his neighbor, who has
experience that will, in a measure, be
his own after trying to grow the cow
peas.-Indianapolis News.

TREATMENT OF THE SOIL.

Just how far one may be able to
crop the soil and return to it the mini
mum amount of fertilizer and do it
proftably depends upon the soil. 1t
Is known that certain plants will sup
ply the needed nitrogen to the soil
much cheaper than it can be supplied
by fertilizers; 1t has also been demon
strated that the almost unlimited sup
plies Of potash in the soil may be re-
leased and made available to the plants
by proper system of soil cultivation.
Hence, by these methods, the cost of
supplying fertilizers to the soil Is ma
terlally reduced.
1t must be confessed, however, that
the usual way of fertllizing is to sup
ply the soil what manure the stock
make during the wintoc with, perhaps.
a small quantity of commercial fertil.
izer. Further too often 1t Is the case
that the fertilizer which would be
only fair quantity fer a dozen acres
is spread over twenty. A bushel Of
shelled corn will take from the soil
about one pound of nitrogen, one-quar-
ter of a pound of potash and something
over half a pound of phosphorlc acid
besides what is consumed by the foil.
age of the plant, yet the usual appll-
cation Of fertilizers, in any form, is
hardly as much rs this to the area OF
soil which produces the bushe Of
corn.
In other words, most of us take
from In, soil more than we give to it
in the form of fertilizers, when we
should furnish enorgh fertilizer to
grow the plant complete, seed or fruit
and branch and enough more to allow
for leechi1g and evaporation and tho

ventilatlng Stables

The trouble in ventilating most sta
bles is that the windows are situated
directly back of the animals and to
open them in the winter means
draughts which are likely to be dam
gerous. The illustration shows n plan
for providing ventilation without in
terferlng with the window proper.
About two inches over the top of the
window three holes are made, each
two or more inches in diameter. A
frame is built over these holes in
which to run slide, or clips of sheet
iron may be placed in position as
shown at the lower part of the pic
ture, between which the sliding board
may be run. This slide should be wide
enough so as to cover the holes thor

place no air can come through tho

for handling the slide easily. BY this

Cultivate Orchard Land.

Orchards should be cultivated. When
the soil in an orchard becomes hard
and packed, soil will lose at least G000
more pounds of water per day per
acre, under the law of capillary attrac-
tons, than where the surface is stirred
at least every four weeks. Sow a peck
of peas TO each acre of the orchard,
and they will shade the land, loosen
the soil and at the same time fertillze
the subsoll. The hogs will eat the pea
vines and wormy fruit and the land
will be getting in better condition.
