no prevent Smut in Mheat.

This coming spring wheat should
not be sowed without being first treat
ed if it has any indications of having
been exposed to smut. The trouble
can be obYiated by dipping the seed
wheat in a solution that is sure to
prove effective. Smut is carried over
from year to year on the seed wheat.
The mode of treatment is as follows
Dissolve one pound of copper sulphate
in "a gallons of water. Soak the seed
in this solution for twelve hours, after
which 1t should be drained off. Then
the seed should be soaked for ten
minutes in lime water made by slak.
ing one pound of lime in ten gallons
of water. The seed should then be
dried as soon as possible. Care should
then be taken that the seed wheat is
not eaten by chickens or other stock,
as the sulphate is deadly poison.
1t is the experience of farmers that
land that bore smutty wheat the previ-
Gus year will not bear smutty wheat
if the seed is properly treated, the
smut spores in the ground having
been all killed by the cold weather.

as far west as Texas. When 1t first
appears in a community it has sail
waiting effect on horses, but later that
effect disappears, either because the
animals get used to it or because it ex-
hausts something in the soil that
causes the salvation. The stockmen
of the South have come to recognize
this as valuable forage plant, even
though it is small grower.
Seed should be sown late in the
spring after the ground has become
warm. The land should be well pre-
pared, as it must be for all small
seeds. If the soil has been covered
with timber in the past the chances
for the success of the lespedeza are
improved. The seed obtainable at the
present time is unhulled and there
fore from one to two pecks per acre
must be used. The plant seeds the
ground abundantly and where the
climate is not too cold the seeding
will be continued from year to year.

subsoll Tor Frult rrees.

On the subsoil depends great deal.
The tree that Is planted over an Inn
pervious subsoil may do we'll If II is
on a side-hill that will permit the
water to run off through the soil that
lies above the subsoil. But on other
kinds of land the subsoil, IL imper-
vious, will cause the trees to grow
slowly and bear fruit lightly. Bad
drainage and impervious subsoils
largely go together. We have seen
land that was friable on top and down
a little way was composed of a layer
of stones and clay so closely inter-
mixed that 1t almost seemed that a
great fire had melted them and they
had run together. If such subsoil can
not be improved it Is better to put
the fruit trees in some other place,
The surest way to improve the sub
soil is by drainage. That lowers the
water table in the soil in winter and
lets the frost in to pulverize the
ground. Where the land is undrained
the water table protects all the soil
below it from the action OF frost. We
have known of clay soils through
which the drains were dug to depth
OF four feet. For year or two 1t did
not seem to make much difference
with the general character OF the soil,
for the frost had not had time to work.
But after the frost for two or three
winters had got in to the soil the
whole character OF the ground seemed
to be changed.
For the growing of apple trees es-
pecially 1t is best to select land where
the subsoil is already in right condi.
ton, so that the roots may go down
several feet If necessary. This makes
1t easy for the tree to send its roots
deeply and to get down into moist
layer OF soil, Trees in such locations
stand drouth well and show green
leaves when all things else seem to
be turning brown with drouth.

Walnuts for Fowls,

Every year thousands of bushels of
walnuts go to waste all over the coun-
try, and few farmers think Of their
value for poultry food. For years we
have been gathering the walnuts and
storing them in some shed or out
house, and we consider every bushel
of them worth fully as much as a
bushel of oats. 1t is not necessary to
remove the hulls, but do not store
them more than few inches deep,
as they may heat and rot. A 10x12
space will hold a big wagon load
safely.
When real cold weather sets in We
hash up a bushelful with an old axe
and feed them to the laying hens.
The great amount of oil contained In
the kernels will do more to help keep
up animal heat than almost any other
foodstuff we can produce, and we have
never had disease in our fiocks when
we have walnuts as part Of the winter
ration. With eggs at present prices,
and high prices during the past year,
we may look to see them sell high
all through the coming winter. and
'nould do all within our power to make
our hens lay.

Sugar Beet Seed.

The proper selection of the seed Is
the first requisite in planting, says
a bulletin of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. At present most
of our best beet seed is imported from
Germany and France. AS with other
commodities, there are few standard
varieties, the quality of which is well
known. These standard varieties are
also in the hands of responsible and
established firms. Very serious mis-
takes are sometimes made in the
selection of seed. The entire crop for
one new factory in this country was
one season produced from seed of a
low quality and with consequences
that were serious and far-reaching.
No one can tell much about the quail
ity of seed by looking at 1t. A
farmer can test the seed by germinat.
ing a certain number of seeds be-
tween two dampened blotters kept
what percentage terminates. AS each
seed or ball has from one to five
germs, there should not be less than
$50 sprouts from 100 balls. If, in ad-
dition, so per cent of the balls pro.
duce as much as one sprout each, the
seed can be considered good from
the standpoint of vitality. The best
method to pursue with relation to
seed is to consult the nearest reliable
source of information, such as a fac
tory or an eXneriment station which
is making tests.

japan Glover.

We herewith illustrate clover that
has been much talked about during
the last few years. 1t was imported
some years ago, an initial consign.
ment coming from Japan to Charles
ton, South Carolina. The scientist
calls it LespedeZa strata. 1t is a
summer growing plant that thrives on
light soils. After it's introduction in
to the Carolinas it spread with great
rapidity, the seed being carried by
the birds. 1t is not likely to thrive
north of the Ohio river If left to itself.
If it is grown at all further north, it
will have to be sown in the spring,
with the certainty that it will kill out
in the winter. Even then it may prove
useful in some locations. just as is
the case with crimson clover.
1t is now widely distributed
throughout the South, being reported

Bees Useful to Farmers.

The great value and usefulness of
the common honey bee on the farm
has been tersely put by Prof. w. p.
Hedrick of the agricultural college of
Michigan. He says: The fruit grower
who complains of bees is an migrate
full wretch. At best fair exchange is
no robbery, but the bees take nothing.
A crop of honey removes no fertility
from the soil, no substance nor flavor
from the fruit, nor even the fragrance
from the flower. Multitudes of bees
may store their hives with "choicely
culled sweets" from your orchard, and
you may take it and feast yourself on
the apple blossom favored honey, or
you may sell it for dollars and cents,
yet neither your trees nor your farm
is the loser by one penny's worth. II
the bees take little toll from the
fruit, what of It? Should they not be
repaid for officiating at the nuptials
OF your fruit blossoms. But do they
take toll?

Profits From AppIe GROWING.

A New York state farmer says he
gets more profit from his 20 acre or
chard than from all his 145 acres be
sides. The average is about $1,000.
or at the rate Of $50 an acre, and the
purchaser gathers and packs the fruit
His only expense is for fertilizing,
spraying and pruning.
Many sections in this state are az
well adapted to orcharding as any In
New York, and no good reason can be
given why more of our farmers should
not engage in the business, In com
mercial way. An exchange gives an
account Of less than two acres that
gave over 800 net profit the present
year: although the cost of caring for
the trees, gathering and marketing tho
fruit, rental value of land, ETC., amount
to $40 or more. The owner sprays
thoroughly, and covers the ground
with bite grass and clover, which he
mows once or twice each season, and
leaves on the ground as a mulch and
fertilizer. What better use can the
farmer put his rough ground to than
an apple orchard treated In this way.
After 10 or IL years it will pay him
better than a ike space in any of the
field crops, several times over.

Leaving the Tree to Nature.


Every once in awhile we find a man
that believes in leaving fruit trees
alone, permitting nature to do as she
wishes to with them. He generally
says that the sprouts on trees, espe-
cially the water sprouts should not
be cut off. We think that II this man
had to raise grapes he would get
very few of them.
Nature does not have to be fed and
clothed, and therefore is not con-
cerned with increasing the fruitfulness
OF trees and plants beyond the point
where they will propagate themselves.
But man has greater needs and forces
the tree and plants to stop producing
in one direction and go to producing
in another. The great fruitfulness of
trees cared for by man is merely due
to the diversion of growth forces from
one direction to another. A tree that
is planted and cared for by man does
not take in more nourishment than
does another tree that is left TO the
direction of nature. But the nourish-
ment that is taken in is made to go
into the formation of things man can
eat rather than into the formation of
wood and leaves, which he cannot
eat.
The Creator has placed In the
hands of man the power of directing
the processes of nature to a consider.
able extent. Man prunes a tree only
to make it expend its energies in the
fruit buds and so gives him more
fruit. We should not leave things to
nature, for in the main nature cares
nothing for us.
There is no moral reason why man
should follow the leadings Of nature.
His own intelligence is not thing to
be lightly set aside.
