| Sale on Currants.-A lady reader in
Michigan asks whether petroleum can be
used on currants to kill the San Jose
scale. I have used 1t for that purpose
with most gratifying results. 1t was ap-
piled in fun strength, after the currants
had already begun to start growth in early
spring, the petroleum being applied in a
mist-like, but very forclble spray, and
| free enough to coat the wood of the
bushes all over with a film of the oily
| fluid. OF course, there is a great DIFF
! ference in the quality of different SAM
, pies of petroleum With the oil | bought
| especially for tree-spraying purposes |
would not be afraid to spray peach and
plum trees at that time OF year, the trees
then showing the first signs of life in the
swelling or opening of the buds. There
have been some reports of trees being en-
tirely killed by the petroleum spray. 1
have sprayed apple and pear trees with
clear petroleum-and very freely, at that
after the hrst leaves mad already begun
to unfold, and never have noticed the first
sign of injury to the tree or leaf from such
treatment.
Green House Heating.-I am very much
pleased with the way my hot water heater
has worked during the past winter For
a small green house there can be nothing
better and simpler than the hot water
system. The trouble | have had. hereto
fore was that the house was too large for
the capacity of the heater. Manufacture
ers OF heaters are sometimes liable to
claim larger heating capacity for their
boilers than can be depended upon. Be
sure to arrange for sufficient heat to keep
the house at the desired temperature and
safe from going too low on extremely cold
winter nights. For small heaters we can
also often make use of a smaller size of
coal than the manufacturers of the heater
advise us to use. In hot water heating,
of course, the heater should be set low
enough so that the water can gradually
rise all through the pipe system connect
ing with the highest level of the water in
the heater, and then gradually fall back
to the heater. entering the heater near
the bottom. That is all there is about it.

CARROTS FOR LIVE STOCK.

e. E. Miller in the Country Gentleman
For the farmer who has no silo, and
consequently only dry feed for his live
stock during the winter, a patch or car
rots may be a very profitable invest
ment. We have grown them for several
years and find them paying crop. As Is
well known the carrot has a tonic value
far beyond its food value One carrot a
day will go far toward keeping horse In
thrifty condition. For milk COWS, TOO,
they are one of the best medicines, ton
ing up the digestive organs. keeping up
tie appetite, and increasing the milk flow.
The carrot does best on rich, loose,
ioamy soil: and the richer 1t Is the better.
If it can be we'll MANFRED the fall before
planting, or even a month or so before IT.,
good crop can be counted on. II manure
is not available an application of 500 or
800 pounds of fertilizer per acre Will usu-
ally prove profitable A mixture contain
ing 3 per cent of nitrogen, per cent OF
available phosphoric acid and per cent
of potash Is recommended by some au-
thorities The seed should be sown as
soon as the ground is warm, in drills far
enough apart to permit OF cultivation.
Two or three pounds OF seed Will plant an
acre and three or four ounces will plant
as big patch as any one needs for first
trial. The seed should be sown thicl<ly, so
as to insure a good stand; then, as soon
as the plants large enough, they
should be thnned out to four inches
mulch--a very easy thing, as we all
know
The carrots need not be gathered until
there is danger of frost, and can be kept
easily all winter in any cool, dry place
that will keep potatoes All that is nee
essary is to keep them from freezing.
As to varieties we hav grown the Long
Orange. Danvers Yellow and White Bel
gian The two latter are the heavier
y.elders. but the quality Of the other is
Superior The Danvers is more easily
gathered than the l. ing Orange, yields
about as well. and is probably as good as
any Other varieties highly recommend
ed are Lobberich and Improved Short
White. Yields.of 25 to 30 tons per acre are
often reported; so 1t Is clear that the crop
may be a highly profitable one.

GARDENING.

by the gardeners at Ebenezer not far
from Buffalo. 1t seems to be a strain of
the Yellow Dutch onion, and undoubtedly
one of the best keepers on our list of
onions. In this respect I believe it is with
out a peer. l was not aware that seed
could be had in any great quantity~as the
Ebenezer growers seem to guard it with
jealous care. It deserves to be more gen.
orally known, and should become popular.
With ordinary care 1t will keep without

Nitro Culture. MANY of our seedsmen
are sending out pamphlets offering nitro
culture" as a means of doubling your
crop at little expense without extra time
or labor" Under some circumstances soil
incubation with the nitrogen-forming bac-
terra may do even more than seedsmen
thus promise, but We should not be led to
believe In this new "nltro-eulture' as a
panacca for all ills to which our soils are
heir, especially not for soil starvation
"Nitro-culture" will not cover our sins
of omission in regard to treatment of the
soil. When the bacteria we seek to intro
duce for the benefit of a certain legumin-
Gus crop are already present in the soil
as they are In great many cases. all adj
ditional efforts in the direction of nitro
culture will be futile and of no effect
when they are not, the result may be i'm
mediate and striking.
Early Tomatoes--A big lot of tomatoes
are sent out again under the claim that
they are earlier than any good sort we
ever had before. We are not nearly so
much in need of new varieties In that

SWINE FEEDING.

e. ]. Waterstripe In Farm and Fireside
v, by is II that so many persist in grow
ing hogs in the same old way-keeping
them In a close pen. and feeding them ex-
cusively on corn? Corn Is not growing
ration, and hence Is unfit for young and
growing pigs. Many experiments have
shown that corn cannot be fed alone at a
profit. Corn Is a fattening. and not a
growing ration, and what young pigs need
is a ration that will form bone and mus
cleft will be time enough to attend to the
fat later. Corn Is the main crop grown in
some parts of the country, and of course
It seems rather hard for some feeders to
get used to feeding a different ration than
that of corn. corn, and only corn.
II the farmer cannot do any better. he
should at least manage to have a pas
ture for the hogs to run in. Grass
cheapens the gain, as 1t comes nearer
being a natural food for hogs But when
feeding pigs grain they should have some
thing else besides corn. At test recently
made at one of the experiment stations
1t was found that a much greater gain
could be made by feeding middlings and
skm-milk with the corn. IT is imposs-
BE for all farr- ers to feed the milk, but
If something on the order of some mill
FEED were given with the corn 1t would
cl.oapen the cost of producing pound
of grain. 1t requires some feed which has
good per cent of protein to balance the
corn and perfect the ration.
The main point I wish to make is
against the feeding of corn exclusively as
ration for hogs. IT should be fed ex-
clusively only in the end of the fatten-
ing period. 1t is common sense to feed
other grain with corn. Corn makes fat,
while food-lilse middlings furnishes mate
rial for the flesh and bones. If some food
Is fed which contains larger per cent
o. protein the body has a full supply to
u.s. in building up all parts Of the system.
A closer study in feeding all live stock is
what is needed, and we must have 1t for
the best results. When I look over the
country and see how corn Is being fed to
horses wonder how our horses are as
good as they are. If the farmers Of this
country want better horses they must do
some better feeding. aSnd do 1t simply by
feeding more literally of oats. know by
experience that oats makes better horses,
and makes them feel better and more like
working. The same rule will work with
feeding hogs
The only way to feed successfully is to
study the value of the feed used The
man who feeds hogs with a profit these
days must know all these things. If a

TEST-SolL FOR ALFALFA.

From the Breeders Gazette.
Thousands of farmers have been deter
red from an attempt to grow alfalfa by
the reports of failures with this wonder
full crop. Some men succeed, some men
fail with 1t. 1t is a question of soil and
We doubtless have some things to learn
about 1t. We know that in some soils
alfalfa will not develop the nodules which
are absolutely necessary to its profitable
production. When the bacteria which
lives in these nodules are artifieially in
troduced into the soil, although in wet.
sour acid soils 1t Is useless to attempt al
falfa-growing either with or without arti-
neral incubation. The trouble Is that men
do not know whether their soil is suita-
bic or not, and dislike to try even a small
patch.
1t Is somewhat singular that simple
test has not been suggested. Desiring to
seed down a new field to alfalfa In the
spring, and wishing, if possible, I'd save
trouble of scattering dirt from the old al
1aifa field over the new one to make sure
of nodnles, we have filed a couple of
flower pots with dirt from the field to be
seeded and set them in a bay-window
among the plants which 1.-The lady of the
house, tends with such care. In six
weeks time the alfalfa plants should
show, by the absence or presence of nod
uies on their roots, whether there is or is
not necessity for inoculating the field to
be newly seeded. 1t is a simple pot-cul-
ture experiment, such as is practiced
largely at experiment stations, and any
farmer may adopt it. If the alfalfa plant
thus grown in flower-pots do not develop
pereeptible nodues in two months time
the dirt from the old alfalfa field will be
scattered over the new seeding in the
spring at the rate of one hundred pounds
to the acre. II these nodules appear. it
will obviate the Necessity of such work.
Every man who eontemplates the seeding
to alfalfa next spring should make this
pot-eulture test of his soil.

Another Great Industry.
Another great industry which is being
encouraged and rapidly developed is the
dairy industry. Surely there is no terri
tory anywhere that so much needs great
dairies as the country between Blrming-
ham and Memphis and the question is:
VIII the farmers help us to build this
profitable industry?
Canning Plants.
What is the matter with the canning
industry and why should we not have
a great central eannery between Birmng-
ham and Memphis? We are doing all we

FOOD ADuLTERATloN.

From the American Agricuturist
The adulteration of food and drugs has
done more toward lowering the moral life
of this country than the rum traffic. ac-
oording to Dr. II. W. Wiley of the Bureau
of Chemistry at Washington. THIS is a
sweeping statement 1t is said shat in
Chicago there Is manufactured a product
of widely advertised Vermont sugar
bush, and that this plant turas out mere
so-caile1 maple sugar in one q. )e.h than
the whole state of Vermont produces in a
year. The bright green color of some i'm
ported peas Is obtained by the use of sui
plate of copper. French white wines con-
tain large quantities of sulphurous acid,
put in to make the color lighter and to
Letter preserve them. Young men are
reared In the communicating atmosphere
where people eountenanee the adulterra-
ton of food and its fraudulent sale They
ureonseiously are taught that any meth
