The Craze for Ginseng.

There is almost always some silver
plated fake going the rounds of the
farmers of this country Bohemian
oats, Belgian hares, teosinte, million
dollar grass and other attractive prop
ositions-and if we can see straight
another new one is just appearing
the ginseng raising speculation. This
scheme bears all the marks of the late
Belgian hare craZe-can be carried out
on a town lot and almost untold prof
it's realized. 1t is very like the null
berry growing craze which set the
people wild hundred years ago. We
regard this ginseng business as pre-
scented by the companies being organ
lied to promote it as fake of the first
water, trap to catch suckers by sell
ing them the seed or roots of this
plant at exorbitant figures under prom
Use of impossible returns. We advise
letting this scheme entirely alone. The
root has no virtue or merit, per Sc,
and it's value is based wholly upon
the superstitious regard for it by
heather race, the Chinese, who credit
it with medicinal qualities. IT it's
culture should become general the
market would surely become over
stocked and the price go out OF sight.

the manure from the barnyard spread
upon it evenly. This is best done with
manure spreader to avoid heating
and drying out of the soil in spots,
and sufficient manure to cover up the
ground, say, fifty to 100 loads per acre
for the first year or two, is important
A clover sod plowed under and we'll

Next, thoroughly plow and prepare
the soil; cultivate in any manner to
keep the ground loose and free OF
weeds, especially in the hills. These
we plant three feet one way and two
| feet the other, three or four seeds
to the hill. We plant the last of April.
Drilling the corn places it too thick
and this prevents getting the full use
of the suns rays. When the corn lacks
sufficient sunshine it becomes bitter
and the silo is thus condemned by
those who do not know why the corn
| is so bitter when fed out. Many farm
ers in the east drill the corn in, in
the effort to lessen their work of Gull
tivating, and hoping to get larger
yield by having the corn closer to-
gether. This is the wrong method.
Be sure and keep the weeds from the

will have a good crop of corn.
| Now for the harvesting: When the
corn is in the roasting ear stage we
commence cutting. We cut with a
common hoe or corn knife. We prefer
the hoe, as it cuts closer to the ground,
| thereby gaining in weight OF corn and
giving the best feed. Previous to
starting the cutting We have the ma.
chinery in place by the silo. (Our
silo was designed by Mr.. Gould when
we were at Everett.) We found by
four years. experience with different
machines and methods that the Biz
card No. 10, having sufficient power,
will handle the corn from two teams
hauling and men enough to keep them
going, say, two men to cut corn, two
teamsters and teams, one man to help
load, two men at cutter and one in
silo. The man in the silo need only
level the corn, and does not have to
tramp it down, as the weight OF corn
will soon be heavier than the man and
it will give more even pressure.
We use a six-horse-pOwer Staver
gasoline engine, which is fine one,
and l would be glad to recommend 1t
to any farmer for power. l bought 1t
of Mitchell, Lewis & Staver Co., and
consider it wonder. We give it no
care, aside from supplying the oil and
gasoline. We have run it all winter
cutting hay and saving one-third OF
our hay thereby. The Blizzard feed
cutter is a marvel 1t places the feed
where desired, without spilling in
transit, so there is no cleaning up
when done. The corn is all in the silo,
none having jumped over carrier to be
cleaned up afterwards. l have no time
to waste in cleaning up work. Better
get a good machine and save much
time and labor.
In estimating the amount OF s1lage
needed for COWS figure on the basis OF
one acre furnishing feed for five COWS
five months, on the average. To teach
the COWS to eat silage commence feed
ing the green corn, then never stop
when put in the silo. Allow little
more acreage per COW In this case. IL
the corn gets frosted when it first
comes up it does not materially dam
age it. Corn will yield twelve to nj
teen tons of ensilage per acre.

The Field and Garden
Vetch Good for Bench Land.

rancherS OF the state. inquiry ire
quently reaches the publishers of The
Ranch for details as to it's cultiva-
ton, harvesting, feeding value, etc.
In the last issue of this publication
there was valuable article on the
subject by H. l.. Blanchard. Since its
publication there came to the office
inquiries from G. M. Van Alta, valued
subscriber at Loomis, regarding vetch-
es. He wrote under date OF February
Oath, and said:
Permit me say your paper is great
ly appreciated in this section. AS you
stated in your letter that you would
write some more in regard to vetch,
pardon my offering some suggestions
in regard to what we would like to
know about it in this section. We are
very ignorant in regard to it, as it has
not been introduced here at all, and
if it will produce more bulk OF feed
(hay) per acre on bench land than
the ordinary grains, it is what we need
and want Please state how much to
SOW per acre. best kind of grain to
SOW with same; time to SOW; kind to
SOW on bench land; how it produces;
time to cut; curing. Is it good feed
for horses?"
These inquiries were treated of to
an extent in the article on vetches in
the March issue, but fuller informa-
ton is given here by Mr.. Blanchard,
who says:
'In reply to Mr.. Van Atlas inquiry,
would say that he need not hesitate
to try spring vetch on any land upon
which peas, wheat or oats thrive well.
For best results, it is necessary that
the seed bed be well prepared and that
the vetch seeds be planted from three
to five inches deep, which can be done
by either blowing in or drilling. On
a heavy clay soil about three inches
is deep enough, but on light or sandy
soil, which is apt to become quite dry
during the summer, four to i've inches
is shallow enough. A complete sue
cess cannot be expected when the har-
row is relied upon to cover the seed,
since large percentage of the seed
will lie upon or near the surface, and
fail to produce as it otherwise would.
"When seeding the various grains
for hay, it is always wise to use
mixture. We thereby get greater bulk
and better quality of feed, and vetch
has no superior in such mixture.
When using two grains for the mix
ture, vetch with wheat or oats, prefer
ably wheat, are very desirable COM
bination-one bushel of vetch seed to
one-half to one bushel of wheat. When
oats are added use the same quantity
of vetch seed and divide the wheat and
oats equally, say one-half bushel OF
each. 1t is important that this COM
bination be sown as early as the
ground can be prepared, say from
March 1st to May LIST, the earlier the
better The crop will be ready to har-
vest for hay from July 18th to August
LIST, and ought to be carefully secured.
"The combination makes a superior
feed for horses and cattle.
81 should add that when the vetch
seed are plowed in four or five days
should be allowed to intervene, When
the wheat or oats may be sown on the
surface in the usual way. Under this
plan both grains will terminate and
be coming through the ground at about
the same time, and will continue to
grow and mature simultaneously"
