a PRAIRIC PEsT.

The whole of the prairie west is now
pre-empted by the crow 1t is but a
few years since one was not to be seen
Then there came a time when one was
occasionally seen, and now they have
multiplied 50 fast that fiocks of hun
dreds and we might say, thousands
are common thing all through the
west The old charge 50 often made
against these birds of pulling up the
newly planted corn in the cornfields of
the east we do not hear brought against
them in the west, perhaps because the
c0rnfields are SO large that no percep-
tible damage is done. But they do
greatly injure the corn growing near
their fyways and roosts when it gets
into the dough stage by stripping the
husks down and sucking the juice from
the kernels. They also wage an I'M
ceasing war on other birds by destroy
ing their nests and eating the eggs and
young birds. While the crow will fol-
low the pillow, he is mostly after angle
worms, which are always good friends
of the farmer We rate this bird as a
nuisance, pirate and a robber and so
one of the few birds upon which an nm
ceasing warfare should be made,

We take it that there are hundreds
of town mem men working and living
in our towns and cities and having
little bit of land, two or three square
rods, say, on their home lot-who
would be only too glad to have gar
den from which they might secure a
lot of nice fresh stuff to eat, but who
do not know just how to go at it to get
the results they desire. We will ven
ture a suggestion or two for the bene-
fit of any such of our readers. We
viii assume that you have three square
rods which may be thus used. First,
have it dug over foot in depth and
heavily fortified with well rotted sta
Bile manure. If the plat lies up against
a barn or fence with a south or east
exposure, plant three or four grape
vines close to such wall or fence and
train them on it. On these vines have
stray cats may be very advantageousiy
planted near the vines (after they are
killed.; next get twenty good, strong
asparagus roots and plant two feet
apart in either row or bed, as the lay
of the plat will best suggest; put in
four roots Of pieplant, plant one square
rod with strawberries and use what
land there is left for beets, early cab
bage. radishes. lettuce, tomatoes, pep
pers. Do not bother with potatoes and
corn. for this garden of yours is too
small We had almost forgotten the
small hotbed, which can be made by
the side of the barn or shed, in which
you may easily raise an early supply
of radishes and lettuce and grow
enough tomato. pepper and celery
plants for yourself and all your neigh
bors These general suggestions, if
followed out, will result in two things
you will be more than well paid for
all your trouble, and you will find the
care Of the little garden a most vel
come change from the monotonous
work of the Office or store. The above
is practical if not very scientific.

"wHAT SHALL WE EAT ~

The rapid growth of population in
America and the constantly increasing
depletion of the fertility of the soils of
all the farm lands east of Illinois and
Wisconsin give not a little interest to
the query of how the people of the
country are to be fed in the next CEN
fury This question of population and
food is a very serious one i'll many
countries. India starves half the time.
The Irishman has had an unsatisfied
appetite for Il century. China's bill of
fare is rice and rats. Germany has to
chew old horse The children of the
sun in Spain and Italy are not half
fed Even Russia does not escape the
famine scourge Rising above all ques-
tions of finance, political economy and
diplomacy the world over rises the
cry, what shall we eat?y 1t will not
down. 1t never will be downed. 1t
may be said for this country that the
increased demands for the future will
be met with development of tracts of
country now untitled. by improved and
restorative methods for soils now worn,
by reclamation of swamp and desert by
drainage and irrigation, by a more sci
entific and intelligent understanding of
the earth and its uses, by the abolition
of the wasteful processes now such a
distinctive feature of American agricul-
ture. Some of these reforms are al
ready under way. and the others will
follow.

HOW LONG WILL THEY LAsTs


We are asked how long the black
prairie soils Of the Mississippi valley
will retain their fertility, how long
they will last for agricultural pur-
poses. Fields which have been in al
most continuous cultivation to our Ger
tain knowledge for nearly fifty years
are still, even under the soil Swimming
and soil robbing methods III common
practice during these years, good soils,
very easily renovated and restored to
a condition of productive fertility by
the use of stock and legumes. The
greatest loss has been in huinus,
which may soon be restored by the
process indicated. The loss of fertility
by erosion has not been nearly so great
through the level prairie sections as on
the more billy, timbered lands of the
east. With good farming these soils
should never wear out, and this is why
they constitute heritage for the chill
dren of the men who own them Of al
most priceless value. There is no rea-
son save that Of neglect to properly
care for them why these prairie soils
should not produce seventy-dve bush
els of corn to the acre a thousand
years from now.

There are just four places to put the
small and defective apples make them

their hand at the last method first

Here is a little alfalfa story a man
six years ago came into possession of
a farm in Ohio which had been skinned
to finish, the clay fields, baked or
puddled, according to the season, refus-
ing to produce even so poor a crop as
ten bushels of corn to the acre The
farm was rated as worthless for any
purpose Without detailing all that
was done by the buyer to renoyate this
farm, we will confine the story TO what
he did with one field. 1t was first re-
duced to as good filth as possible and
then sown with twenty five pounds Of
alfalfa seed to the acre, moved three
times the first year and the cuttings
allowed to remain where they fell.
During the next four years the field
furnished an average of five tons to the
acre of alfalfa hay, worth about $50.
The field was then ploWed up, and last
year be raised thereon a crop of seven
ty-five bushels Of corn to the acre, with
the field in the best of condition for an
other crop Perhaps this story may
give some of our readers what is term
ed hint.
