grown sufficiently long in different parts

value. 1t is a strong and vigorous grower

that it is one of the irmest berries known

true OF some other breeds with white
feathers there Is a p%lumpness about the
Plymouth Rock peculiar to the breed
which is greatly desired by certain mar
kets. In the experience OF the writer the
white Plymouth Rock Is no better as an
egg producer than the barred. some poul-
trymen claim it is not so good. but as a
general purpose fowl 1t certainly ranks
high among the large breeds and will
give one entire satisfaction. The illustra-
ton shows a typical bird and from its
form 1t is easy to see why the breed is

GROWING Race ProfitabIy.

~
Most of the failures in growing rape
are due to the impression that the crop
may be grown on any soil one happens to
have vacant. AS a matter of fact rape
requires a rich soil. hence ono should be
well posted on the uses of the crop before
giving up valuable soil to 1t. While rape
makes Its hest growth when the seed is
sown early in the season, after the soil
has become warm there is yet time to
SOW 1t and get good returns in any sec
ton where eight to ten weeks of good
growing weather may be depended upon.
Clay loan rich in vegetable matter is the
ideal soil for rape and IL the field is d.
vtded by a fence SO that a portion of 1t
may be pastured at a time its feeding
value will be greater. The best way to
pasture rape for swine or sheep Is to turn
the animals onto it for but a small por-
ton of the day, letting them have the
grass pasture the rest. Of the time. While
fowls may use the rape field as a run, we
have had the best success cutting the rape
and feeding 1t to them on the grass range
or in the poultry yards. Rape is one Of
the crops it will pay to experiment with,
at least to the extent of a small area.
The Strawberry Season.
Owing to peculiar weather conditions in
many sections the strawberry crop prom
ises to be one with an abundance of
small berries, hence the only way to make
1t profitable is to assert the fruit care
fully and thus obtain the highest price for
the choice fruit, not attempting any but
the No. 1 grade. Under better weather
conditions the crop of late varieties will
be q profitable one, yet even with 1t the
asserting will be found profitable. Try
putting up some of the fruit In a fancy
manner If located where the benefits of q
city market may be had. selling such fruit
directly to the consumer or to dealers who
have a select trade. Oftentimes selected
specimens of the very early sorts put in
the pint baskets generally used for rasp-
berries after lining the baskets with tbs
sue paper will bring better prices than a
quart of the average fruit put up in the
ordinary way. This is not theory. as
many can testify who nave tested the
suggestions Of packing fruit for a select

OF a clay texture the sun Will so bake IL
that little of the moisture will get to tho
roots Of the trees. one of the best plans
Is to keep the surface soil loosencd until
after a drenching rain and then. before
the sun has a chance to bake the surface
soil place a mulch of hay or straw about
the tree, putting 1t on several inches deep
and extending for two or three feet above
the tree. This Will conserve the moisture
In the soil. OF course the best plan OF all
is to carry on the GUNNER cultivation OF
the surface soil between the rows. thus
obtaining the dust mulch: even then the
mulch of hay or straw can be used to
advantage close to the trees.

Does THINNING Fruit Pay?


Undoubtedly 1t does pay to thin peaches.
Because OF the inclination Of many va
rieties to grow in clusters it is almost
impossible for all of the fruit to attain
a marketable size so that thinning usual
ly pays. Whether 1t will pay to thin 9TH
er fruit Is q matter which must be de-
termlned by every grower for himself. In
the experience of the writer 1t has been
found hat when the fruit goes to a mar
ket paving a good price 1T will pay to thin
the fruit at least to the extent of shaking
the tree to disiodge the fruit that VIII
drop any way, and then sending q lot OF
small boys through the tree to thin where
ever it seems as if, 1t could be done to ad-
vantage. OF course the lads will have to
work under the direction of some one who
knows and the work should not be too
finely carried on: that Is. the thinning
should be done only in cases where two
or more fruits are so close together that
none of them will likely mature. This
sort of thinning WI generally pay, but 1t
is a matter of much doubt IL anything
more viii be found profitable. except. as
stated witt peaches and possibly with
plums.

The Decadence of Wheat Growinq.

- " 0SSdaStbSS ~ biiSCS 'ONNIflSs
There seems to be a general opinion that
wheat production has greatly fallen off In
sections located outside the great wheat
belts and while this Is so In some states
and particularly SO with some individuals,
statistics show that the falling off is not
so great as is genert1y supposed. On the
other hand there are individual farmers
who are good wheat raisers who have
given up their farms almost entirely to
other crops simply because they do not
feel able to compete with the great wheat
sections of the west. 1t Is doubtful IL
this is good policy, for while the farm
may frequently be used to better advan-
tase there is always a market in any sec
ton for a crop of good wheat and always
use for a small crop on the farm. Then,
too. wheat Is one of the best of crops to
use in a rotation. having a value to the
soil in this respect SO great that 1t would
pay to grew 1t even If the sale was COM
paratively limited: If it could not be sold
at a fair price 1t has considerable feeding
value. particularly where poultry IS kept.
Do not cut out the wheat entirely until
you have investigated Its value on your
farm
