Manures on Truck Gardens.

Truck gardeners can use to advan-
tage much more manure than can the
general farmer. For instance, it hard
ly pays the general farmer to buy nj.
trogenous manures because he can
grow 1eguminous crops and turn under
tho stubble. But in the case of the
market gardener it is different. He
cannot do that. He must buy his nj.
trogenous manure if he needs it, for
his land must bring him in hundreds
of dollars year per acre. The far.
mer that raises on an acre of land a
crop that sells for twenty dollars and
under cannot afford to put very many
dollars into fertilizers. But the truck
gardener that grows two hundred dol
lars worth of crops on an acre can af-
ford to put into fertilizers more than
the crop of the farmer would bring.
He must buy some nitrogen, for he
needs big growth of plant with
most of the things he supplies the
market. So we see the truck ga dem
ers hauling out for use on their land
vast quantities of barnyard manure.
We also see whole trainloads of ma
nure from the stockyards brought into
requisition. l have observed that the
truck gardener farms more intensive.
ly than the general farmer. l have
also sometimes thought that it would
pay the general farmer to farm more
intensively and let part of the land lie
idle, if need be.

Water Means Prosperitx.

Where water power is there are
population and prosperity also is the
argument of c. Fl. Baker, who cites
Niagaras influence. on Buffalo as one
illustration. In the Spokane valley
nothing has had more tendency to in
crease land values than irrigation;
wherever water has had to do with
the raising of crops in an arid coun-
try there the value of the lands has
been measured more by water than
by quality of soil and has jumped
from nothing to as high as s1,500 an
acre. In many cases these lands are
remote from transportation facilities.
The United States government is fore
most among nations to encourage pri-
vate irrigation enterprises. particular
ly the smaller projects that are more
feasible. According to the latest cen
sus report private enterprises placed
irrigation systems in thirty-one states
and territories. The expense of pro-
jects is estimated at $93 .000,0 900, which
is believed to be low. A total area Of
100000 acres has been covered by
these systems. In an arid region
water only is required TO make its
tillable portions the most fertile areas
in the world. With the vast expanse
of forest covered watershed which
must drain into the innumerable lakes
that dot the surrounding country the
water supply there is we'll nigh in.

A Ventilated Barrel.

Il is well known that the ordinary
barrel is not adapted for the shipment
of perisnable produce for long cis-
tances. There being no means of
ventilation, the produce rots in q
short time and therefore becomes IN
fit for sale. A Southerner has in
vented a novel ventilated barrel that
is designed particularly for the ship
ping of spinach. kale and other garden
produce. an illustration of which Is
shown here The barrel is light, strong
and durable, the ventilated openings
being SO arranged that they will not
become cloeged and closed by the con-
tents OF the barrel. The body of the
barrel is composed of the two sets of
veneer slaves, one set being arranged
within the other. The other slaves,
which are spaced apart slightly, have
straight parallel edges and when the
slaves are bowed to form the bilge of
the barrel a tapering intervening
space is formed. The outer slaves
have vertical ventilating slots, or open
ings at the center, these slots being
located between the middle hoops OF
the barrel, permitting the escape OF
moisture and sweat from the contents
of the barrels. The inner slaves cover
the intervening spaces between the
outer slaves, making a barrel Of great
strength. The inner slaves are also
