CLEANED HERE AND THERE
PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS THAT CAN BE
APPLIED WITH SPLENDID SUCCESS.
The Care of Live Stock, the Cultivation Of
Crops and the Latest Methods Used 10
Raising and caring for Poultry.

The failure of many farmers to get
orders for ground lime filed at the
time for seeding wheat brought up the
question whether a top dressing with
not be just as good. Most orders come
to the manufacturers within three
weeks of seeding time, because the
bagged lime will Slake and thus burst
the bags if any long time intervenes
between the burning and the applica-
ton to the soil. If the lime can be
applied at any time during the fall with
equally good results, there would be
less rush, and consequently more farm
ers would be able to experiment.
do not doubt that a given amount of
lime has more power to effect change
in the soil conditions when covered
Slightly with soil than it would have
left to air slake on the surface, but
have asked our best agricultural chem
lists about the comparative results and
get very indefinite replies. Much de-
pends upon the particular soil prob
ably, and very much is yet to be learn
ed about the subject.
So far as l can learn from chemists
and practical experimenters, the gain
from applying lime on growing wheat
in the fall may be practically the same,
judged by the clover and grass that
are sought, as that got from lime
drilled in before seeding the grain.
There are many instances of marked
profit from such application. Ipractice
drilling the lime i'll, believing this way
to be preferable. l expect to get full
effect liz this way, and as the drill is
used as harrow to fit the ground more
perfectly while applying the lime there
is not much actual outlay in getting
the lime on the ground. After the
wheat is up, the hoes of the drill should
be kept above the surface or removed
from the drill The tramping by
horses and the wheels of the drill is
undesirable. but need not be a serious
matter.
A thousand pounds application of
ground lime is not going to make clio
yer and grass grow on all land that has
been refusing to make a catch, but the
examples of success are so numerous
that experiments on nearly all such
soils are justified. Only a trial will
demonstrate the value of this method
of assisting the clover plant where CON
ditions are now unfavorable-David in

broadcast method is that larger num-
ber of seedlings can be raised by it on
a given area than by any other method.
Broadcasting in strips is a compromise
between the drill and broadcasting
methods, combining the merits of both.
The seed sowed broadcast were press
ed into the soil to the depth of their
own thickness, while the drills were
made One-eighth to One-fourth of an
inch deep and in the case of the larger
seed somewhat deeper. a space six
inches wide is left between the broad
cast strips for cultivation.
All the beds were mulched with sand
to a depth of One-eighth to one-fourth
of an inch The beds, which extend in
a north and south direction, are four
feet wide and are divided into lengths
usually of six feet. All drills and strips
sowed broadcast extend lengthwise Of
the bed. The width of four feet was
chosen not only because il is a cOnven-
lent width for wedding. but also be-
cause laths. which form the covering
of most of the screens, are of this
length.
Most of the screens rest ON uprights
a foot above the ground and consist of
frame of by l inch rough lumber
covered with laths or cheesecloth.
In some cases the cheeseclOth is Il
single thickness and in others double,
to vary the amount of shade afforded
The spacing of the laths varies from
the twO-thirds shade, in which the
laths are five-eighths inch apart, to
the One-third shade, in which they are
three inches apart. Between these eX-
tremes is the one-half shade, which is
made by covering the frame with the
laths, mailing only the alternate laths
and then shaking out the loose laths.
Besides these is a screen covered with
laths nailed on edge, with a spacing
corresponding to One-fOurth shade.
Since the width of the laths stands
vertically, the shade varies with the
slant Of the suns rays. One advantage
of this screen is that the tender seed
| lings are protected from the direct
| force of severe rains, the raindrops
usually striking the laths diagonally.
Besides the screens above described
there are a number of screens attach
ed to posts four feet high by hinges
at an elevation of one foot These
screens can be raised to a perpendicu-
lar position in case Of long continued
wet weather to allow the seed beds
to dry out.
The amount of light allowed is an
essential factor in the successful rails
ing of coniferous seedlings This
should, vary with the demands of the
species, which may be judged from the
natural conditions in which the seed.
