ABOUT ST. cv!!THlN's DAY.
Ancient Superstition That Still LIN
qcrs in rgand.

gcrs In England.
st. Swithin'H day WAS July 10 and In
England there is superstition that II
it rains on that date the succeeding
forty days will he wet and If. on the
contrary, St Swithin's day be fair
then the succeeding twoscore days
will likewise be pleasant. The super
stltion is venerable. for one old his
torian remarks that st. Swithin. a
holy bishop of Winchester, about the
year $50, was called the weeping st.
Swithin, for that about his least
Praesepe and Asell, rainy constella-
tons, arise cosmically and commonly
cause rain"
Another version OF the story Is that
the good bishop left orders at his
death that he should be buried in the
open churchyard and not In the chan
Gel. The monks, however, disobeyed
the wishes of their head and laid him
to rest on July Is within the minister,
whereupon rain fell heavily and con-
tinually till on the forticth day, thu
offending priests Decalne dlarHicu "h'
fastened to fulfill their dead bishop n
request.
Statistics furnished by the officials
at Greenwich observatory discredit
the accuracy of the whole tale. The
figures for twenty years preceding
1861 go to show that the greater num-
Der of rainy days after st. Swithin's
day followed dry July 10.

select seions This Summer

Select seions This Summer
II is now quite generally believed
that the seions for grating trees
should be selected from bearing
branches, We have supposed In the
past that II was enough to get the
scions from any part OF the tree, even
from the suckers growing on the
side, But some nurserymen now claim
that many OF the best and thrlftiest
shoots on the trees have In them
some quality that does not make for
fruitfulness and that the use of these
as sclons In the top working OF trees
has resulted In many OF the products
OF such top-working being unfruitfui.
II Is also claimed that such apples as
the Gano were secured by marking
branches on Bon Davis trees that bore
Enely shaped and finely colored fruit
and grating other trees from them,
and that In this way variety OF Ben
Davis was developed that seems In
appearance at least to be an improve
ment. II is safe enough 10 assume
that this Is true, whether II is or not,
for the other side is not the safe one
till II is settled that the opinion ex-
pressed Is an error. II will be well
for the orchardist to now mark the
twigs that he expects to use In the
making of scions. He can select only
those that are actually bearing fruit,
and so increase the fruit-bearing prob
ability of the trees resulting from his
graft. The summer time is the hest
time in which to do this selecting.
while the leaves and the fruit are still
on. The vigor may be largely known
In this way.

Method of Cultivation.

What is the best method of cult
waiting the orchard? There Is no best
method, so long as the orchard Is cul-
tivated. The chief idea Is to cult
vate to keep down weeds and to keep
the moisture from escaping from the
soil in times when the rainfall Is so
light that moisture needs to be con-
served. Clean cultivation is the best
for the orchard as well as for other
crops, but clean culture is not meth
cd but result. Whether the cult
walton shall be done once a week or
once a month must depend on 30
many things that each man must
adapt his method Of cultivation to
what he believes his orchard needs.
There are some fundamental princi-
pies only that need to be understood.
There is no one method that Is best
for all locations, but what Is best for
one orchard would be destructive to
another. Take an orchard on the hills
where the soil is of such texture that
it would easily wash away II dis
turbed often, and it is evident that
cultivation can only be given at GER
tain times of year and that the ground
must then be covered with crop to
mold the soil in place. On the same
kind of hill, however, the soil may
be of clay so firm and retentive that
cultivation at any time during the
growing season would not result in
the soil washing. The method of cul-
tivation is a problem that is worth
being worked out by every orchardist,
but there is little advice that will be
of value to him except advice Of a
general nature.

The ePanut as a Field Crop.

The peanut Is assuming every year
more and more Importance as a field
crop. It's natural home seems to be
in the southern part of the temperate
zone. but it grows far north when
properly cultivated. 1t is successfully
cultivated as far north as the Great
Lakes. We are not sure that this will
not yet become one of the successful
field crops of the sandy regions of the
middle west. We have been treated
to so many surprises as to the adapta-
bility of plants to large areas or coun-
try that little in this line now sur
prises us. If the peanut can be crown
in large quantities on our very sandy
land, it will prove to be great boon
to our agriculturists. Belonging to
the leguminosae it has roots that car
~ nodules in which live the bacteria
that gather nitrogen from The air.
The edible portion of the nut Is there
fore very rich In nitrogen. An analy-
sis Of the edible portion shows it to
contain, in per cents, water, 80; pro.
TEN, 25.S; fat, 3S6; carbohydrate,
pa. and ash, 9. The protein content
is therefore remarkably high, and
makes the nut very good food when
# is ground to increase its digestibil-
ity. It is an improver Of the soil, as
are all the legumes. There is no dan
ger of growing too many peanuts, as
the surplus can always be used as
food for swine. One man declares
that the peanut can be grown in ev-
cry state in the Union and even in
southern Canada, and asserts that it
is now being grown as far north as
the lower peninsula of Michigan. II
for any reason a crop of peanuts
should fail TO ripen, It would add nitro
con TO the soil by being plowed I'M

An opponent of Russia writes to n
foreign newspaper: There were at
least four great Tartar thrones, each
standing on the ruins of other civiliza'
lions. Those four were the thrones Of
Moscow, Constantinople, Delhi and
Pekin. At Moscow the Tartar calls
himself Christian, at Constantinople
Mussulman and at Pekin Buddhist;
hut his spirit is always the same, and

Corn PLANTING In Arqe ntlna.


Aside from lack OF cultivation, the
principal mistake of the Argentine
corn grower is his unwillingness to
give his plants room enough 10 grow
and get air and sunshine TO mature
and ripen, says Frank w. Bicknell in
a report TO the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. AS previously
stated, most of the corn Is planted
with a machine attached TO the pillow,
aud the rows are generally about 20
inches apart-simply drilled in, re-
sembling very much field OF fodder
corn In this country. A few OF the
farmers are learning better, and per-
haps 100 American corn planters have
been sold In Argentina. But no check
rowers were seen, and there Is so
little cultivating corn two ways that
ii is still spoken of as a curious thing

trious and successful class of Span

Galatians, from the Province OF Gaia.
lonia, Spain, are also engaged in corn
growing In the Province of Buenos
Ayres. In some sections, notably to
the southwest of the city OF Buenos
Ayres, where some of the best corn
farming is done, 1t is noticeable that

perienced and successful the farmers,
the wider apart the rows are, and
occasionally a field Is cultivated both
ways. The rows in the better culti-
waited sections are from "a to 80 inches
apart, and the plants In the rows
about 20 to "a inches apart. Corn Is
hardly ever planted farther apart than
this, and the greater part, in fact nine
tenths, is in rows 20 to % inches
apart, and the plants no farther apart
in the rows and generally much closer
together.
The Argentine Department OF Agri-
culture has tried to teach the farmers
the benefits of planting farther apart,
but they are hard to convince. Men
have been sent around in various Sec
lions saying to farmers: Give us a
hectare of land and We will plant it
and cultivate it the way we think 1t
should be done; we will bear all the
expense and you may have all the
CROP" These experiments have al
ways resulted in producing twice as
much, or more than twice as much, as
the farmer raised alongside in the old
way, because the corn was given
plenty of room and was well cult,
waited. But the ignorant farmers have
not always been convinced. When
asked how they were going to plant
next year, some of them said they
intended to go on as before. When
asked why, and if they had not seen
the good results of the improved
methods, they have replied: "Oh, that
was just luck; you couldn't do ii
again" Until recently corn was sim
ply sown broadcast, by hand, covered
in some primitive fashion, and nothing
more done with it until it was gath
cred in the fall. Even now much OF
this is being done in some parts
though not in, the districts where
corn grows best.

Save Money With Good Plants.

odNC "oHCJ WIN Sood
The planter should always remem-
Der that it costs exactly the same in
labor to cultivate and care for good
plant as a poor one. In the buying
of trees, vines and plants generally
the comparative, cost should. cut no
figure. One strawberry plant may
cost cent while another one may
cost only one-fourth Of a cent. In
the light of the production Of a good
or bad variety how much does a cent
count? The same is true In the
buying of trees. A good variety
should be secured, and 1t is never
necessary to pay fancy price for
any of the good standard varieties.
But frequently poorer varieties, being
in larger abundance in the hands Of
the nurserymen, can be bought cheap
err than the standard variety. The
fruit In single season may be worth
a dollar more on the good tree than
on the poor one and that will more
than equal the difference in cost. The
chief concern of the tree planter
should be to get a tree that will bear
an abundance of the right kind Of
fruit. Saving few cents per tree
may prove disastrous In the end.
