seems TO be much superior TO any
less amount, and, owing to the facf
that peppers continue TO form during
the entire period of growth, the distrI-
button of the nitrate throughout the
season is desirable where large quaint
ties are applied. Where more conven-
lent the first application OF nitrate
may be applied at the time OF setting
the plants, in order to prevent any de
lay in growth after setting. The later
fractional applications are distributed
throughout the season, two or three
weeks apart.
In the case of cucumbers heavier
soils may be used than for melons and
large quantities of fertilizer applied
In our experiments the application OF
nitrate of soda in addition to regular
methods of fertilization resulted in
very large increase in crop, over 100
per cent, and an increase in net value
of over SEQ per acre.
The amounts of nitrate applied may
range from $50 to $50 pounds per acre.
Three hundred pounds per acre In
three applications gave the best re-
suits. The effect was particularly no
ticeable in maintaining rapid and
continuous growth of vine and fruit,
thus materially reducing the proper
ton of culls.

How j. III. Hale Does 1t.

As told in Green's Fruit Grower, j,
n. Hale's method of dealing with the
borer is: 81 use a good, strong. sharp
knife with a rather long, slender point
and cut until l find the critter. The old
idea of using a wire and punching up
the hole was too uncertain in results
1 want to dig until 1 can see the crit
ter and then be sure l have smashed
him. Even pretty sharp cutting sell
dom Injuries the tree to any extent, and
we earth up again about a tree after
the work is done. Sometimes the borers
are so small in the fall that we miss
some of them, SO when we have time
we often go over the orchard the sec
ond time in May and search again
where there are any indications of the
borer's presence But il young trees
are banked thoroughly through May
and June Of the first four years OF
their orchard life there is very little
danger of serious harm from borers III
future years.

a large number of soldiers, huge con-
vict prison and legions of small boys,
who mobbed me when was last there
because they did not approve of my
English hat and limited Spanish vo-
cabulary. Now, the governors Of ecu
Ia draw rations for every convict in
their charge, so, from their point OF
view, it is no bad thing for convict
to escape. So long as lie is on the
books he is entitled to rations even
though he has shaken from off his feet
the dust of the great gray prison on
the hillside. Consequently good bit
Of this dust shaking goes on, and count
less Spanish convicts escape to Tetuan

Professional tramps have no easy
life in Switzerland. By the federal
statute beggars and tramps are to be
treated in accordance with the laws OF
the canton in which they are arrested
and those of foreign nationality are to
be expelled from the country. If an
ablebodied man is without means. Is
generally in search of work and his
papers are in order, he will, on appll
cation, be supplied by the police or by
the international union, a private as
sociation under official patronage, with
food and lodging and will, if pos
sible. have employment indicated tc
him. If he cannot obtain any he will
be passed ON to the next town, to re-
lief station, to his own district or to
the cantonal frontier. If he refuses
work when offered he Is sent to his
own district to be dealt with by Its
council, and if the council decides thai
he is work shy" he may be sent TO O
forced labor institution. But the police
are empowered to arrest beggars with
out special warrant and to bring them
before a competent court, which may
commit them to prison.

The Age of Gold.

In Europe, where gold plays a more
important part as n circulating medium
in the currency than in the United
States, gold coins are allowed to suffer
but little loss of weight before they are
called in from circulation. In Great
Britain this amount is .625 per cent
and in France 800 per cent, amounts
that can only be detected by the bal
ance. In Great Britain it has been
computed by officials of the mint that
in ordinary use the average length of
time before q sovereign becomes
light is twenty-seven years, while in
the case Of half sovereign the time is
sixteen years. The smaller coin not
only circulates more, but suffers more
from abrasion. as in proportion to its
diameter il is thinner and has a larger
surface to he rubbed.-Harper's Week

Celery is crop that responds most
profitably to an application of an
abundance of available nitrogen. This
fertilizer not only Increases the yield,
but very materially improves the quail
ity of the crop Where the soil is natu-
rally rich, or where what may be re-
garded as good methods of practice in
reference to fertilizers are followed,
extra applications of nitrate result in
very largely increased yields and pro-
portionate improvement in quality. In
experiments made it was shown that
where ordinary treatment was given
and n small and Improbable crop was
obtained the addition of few dollars
worth of nitrate changed the crop into
a very profitable one, and in the case
of a soil that was regarded as good
enough to produce fair crop the addi-
ton caused large increase in the total
crop and very marked improvement

roots grown with nitrate was $50 per
cent greater than where none was ap-
piled, and 100 per cent greater than
where an insufficient amount was used.
The Increased value per acre of the
crop from the best use Of the nitrate
was over $3.50.
In the Pepper Growing Industry.
The growing of peppers has become
q considerable industry in market gar
den districts in recent years. Studies
of the special needs Of the crop show
that on good soils well adapted to the
plant additional dressings of nitrate
are necessary for best results, the gain
in yield averaging 50 per cent, and the
increased value of the crop due to the
added nitrate averaging $50 per acre.

Weaniug Fall Pigs.

Pigs farrowed in September are
weaned not later than the middle OF
December and the sows bred again for
April narrowing. The pigs are wintercd
on corn, wheat middlings, clover hay
and, whenever weather will permit, al
lowed the range of the growing rye
field. This latter is quite important as
a pig will not make a satisfactory
growth unless some green or succuieni
food is had during cold, dry weather.
December pigs use the rye field until
the plant is too coarse for them to eat
which is known by their chewing
awhile and then splitting it out. Ken
lucky blue grass until the middle OF
June is equally as good as rye, and VIC
usually finish in June with corn, ALLOW

TILE DRAINAGE.
TILES should BE of Sufficient Dinme-

Tiles should BE of Sufficient Dinme-
ter and the Grade Correct.
In my experience have learned that
as a rule, tiles of too small capacity
have been laid with the expectation of
carrying away the vast volume Of wa
ter that often suddenly collects in deep
depressions after heavy rain, says an
Orange Judd Farmer correspondent
Four inch tile is often required, and y
tile of less than three inches in diane
ter inside measurement, should never
be used The work of grading the bot
tom of the ditch for the reception Of
the tile often results in failure owing
to depressions or irregularities remain
ing where silt or other foreign matter
accumulates in the tile, thus obstruct-
ing the flow of water.
The final grade of a ditch should
never be finished, especially where
doubt exists in regard to required fall.
without the aid of a level, and the
work should never be trusted to the
eve of any one, no matter how expert.
I once employed a professional ditcher
to drain a slough or pond hole, and

wheat In western Kansas.

An important feature in tests of va
rieties of Russian hard winter bearded
wheat at the Fort Hays branch ex-
perimer. station of Kansas Is that
the earliest varieties have proved the
best yielders. The present year was
very trying on late varieties, owing to
the prevalence of rusts. A few days
make a great difference in the yield
and quality of the grain, as the earlier
varieties were out of the way and not
so badly affected. The yields for two
years have been as follows:

TILE DRAIN LEVEL.

owing to its failure to perform its
work the tiles were taken up and the
bottom of the ditch properly graded
with a level, when it was discovered
that the grade at the outlet of the
ditch was eighteen inches higher than
the point it was intended to drain. OF
course such a piece of work proved of
short duration and very expensive.
1t often happens that the outlets of
drains are allowed to become obstruct-
ed with silt, coarse grass, etc, render
ing them nearly or quite useless. To
those who may contemplate the i'm
provement of their farms by inaugu-
rating a system of tile drainage, but
are deferred from doing so owing to
the impossibility of obtaining a profes-
sional ditcher, allow me to state that
the services of ordinary farm help,
with the oversight and assistance of
the farmer himself, give as good II not
better results Where a suitable fall Is
plainly visible 1t is not essential that
level be used, provided the bottom of
the ditch has an even grade and Is free
from Irregularities. But where doubt
exists q level, as shown in the accom-
panying diagram, should be used.
