seeding wheat After Corn.

Now, in corn sections where the corn
ripens in time for the wheat sown aft
err the corn to get start before cold
weather the summer fallow is almost
Put of use except as matter of neces-
sity. Where oats are crop in rotation
wheat is made to follow the oats, re-
curing the blowing of the land. This
going out of the summer fallow tends
to the production of better corn crops.
When the farmer expects to follow
corn with wheat if he Is a good farmer
he will cultivate the corn with that end
in view.
Another point that is strong factor
In causing the system to go out of use
is its costliness as compared with seed
ing after corn or other cultivated crop
that can be taken off the land in time
for seeding without the land having to
be plowed The almost universal Gus
tom here is to seed after corn. Much
less summer following would be done
in some sections If the farmers under
stood seeding after corn, how cheaply
and successfully it can be done and
how satisfactory the results can be
made, says John NJ. Jamison of Ohio

WINTER WHEAT.

The Concern of the Grower Ii with
the Wheat Plant as n Whole.
1t would not be safe to say of any
variety of wheat as the result of spe-
cial experiments that so far as yield of
grain is concerned it will prove the
most satisfactory for all localities of
all those tested or indeed for any given
locality. Some varieties are better
adapted to certain soils than others.
A variety will give better comparative
yield on given soil in certain seasons
than it will in others.
OF the sixty or more varieties tested
each year for the last thirteen years at
the Ohio experiment station it is an
nounced that no one variety has out
yielded all others more than two years
out of the thirteen and no variety has
Outyielded all others two years in sue
cession. In the harvest of 1905 the
Democrat wheat heads the list; in
1904, the Niger wheat; in 1903, the
Extra Early Windsor; In 1902, the
Stanley; in 1901, the Gypsy; in 1900,
the Early Ripe; in 1899, the Red Rus

Attention should be given now to
banking the celery crop. The work
should never be done when dew or rain
is on the plants or when the soil is wet.
Celery can be nicely blanched by put
ting boards against the plants, but
killing up with earth is usually a more
economical practice. Late celery which
is to be stored need not be hurried in
the banking process. 1t should be left
in the field as long as possible. The
plants will stand fairly heavy frosts.
After two or three good frosts, how
ever, the plants should be taken up and
banked away in cool cellar. In this
way they can be kept until after the
holidays In perfectly good condition.

Fan Planting of Fruit Trees.

Fall planting of fruit trees is every
where considered safe and advisable
for good soils, according to Country
Gentleman. Poor trees poorly planted
in wet soils and exposed to a severe
climate are almost sure to suffer win
ter injury, but when all conditions are
good fall planting has distinct advan-
tages. In good soils trees will make
some root growth in late fall, which in
very early spring is the first to start In
advance of the spring planted trees. 1t
is probably not wise to place too great
emphasis on the value of fall planting,
but at any rate 1t is worth considering

The ueirht of Waves.

1t is usual in other places than nov
els to hear of waves running noun
tains high, but in reality the mountains
of the sea are by no means steep and
only appear so when two systems of
waves meet, as in a choppy sea, and
add their ampiitudes. For example, as
is shown in Il series of wave measure
ments lately undertaken by the French
government, the highest normal waves
encountered in the southern Pacific are
not more than fifty-three feet high
from crest to base of trough. These are
in sense the waves of greatest known
amplitude The distance between their
crests is / 900 feet Waves Of the north
Atlantic are normally 52S feet from
crest to crest and twenty-six feet high.

The Class of Water Cure.

A certain old family physician never
tires of proclaiming the virtues of a
glass Of cold water taken on waking
In the morning.
"Many people," he remarks, "avoid
drinking water as though it were poi
son. although without it no one can be
properly healthy. When taken early
in the morning it has a cleansing and
bracing effect on the system, while its
beneficial effects on the liver can hard
ly be exaggerated.

vice is well worth following, especial

Planting Potatoes In the Fall.

The climate of the upper peninsula Of
Michigan is distinguished from that Of
the lower peninsula by the greater
depth of snow in winter and by the
fact that the covering of snow is both
certain and continuous. The ground
seldom freezes at the recently estab-
llshed branch Of the state experiment
station in the upper peninsula station.
Potatoes may safely be planted in the
fall with the certainty that they will
not be frozen during the winter. This
station has developed the plan of
planting potatoes in the fall, relying
upon the continuous covering Of deep
snow to protect the seed from freezing.
No great advantage in yield is found
by adopting this method, but the crop
is considerably earlier. Level culture

toes the Sir Walter Raleigh has, on

CLEAN MILK.
Simple Ways of Improving the Farm
Milk Supply.

Keep the cows clean and do not COM
pei or allow them to wade and live in
filth. This means clean yards and
clean, well bedded stalls. Everything
short of this is positively repulsive and
should not be tolerated any longer in
a civilized community.
Stop the filthy practice known as
'wetting the teats," by which is meant
the drawing of little milk into the
hands with which to wet the teats be-
fore and during milking, leaving the
excess of filthy milk to drop from the
hands and teats into the pail
Wash all utensils clean by first using
lukewarm water, afterward washing
in warm water and rinsing in an abun-
dance of boiling water, then exposing
until the next using in direct sunlight,
which is good steriliZer
Use milk pals, cans, etc, for no 9th
err purpose but to hold milk.
Keep out of these utensils all sour or
tainted milk, even after they have been
used for the day Using them for this
purpose at any time infects them so
badly that no amount of washing is
likely to clean them. Bacteria are in
visible, and millions can find lodging
place in the thin film of moisture that
remains after dishes are apparently
clean.

UNIQUE INDUSTRY.
1t Fills the Pockets of Puget sound
and Long Island Farmers

and Long Island Farmers.
Even now there are cities, big cities,
in the middle west and south where
the caulihower is practically unknown.
And, though in the neighborhood of
many large cities, such as Chicago,
Boston and San Francisco, there are
extensive truck farms on which cauli-
flower is grown for home consump-
ton, there are, as an exchange tells the
story of cauliflower farming, but two
distinct "cauliflower districts" in the
whole United States where the vege-
table is extensively grown and shipped
to distant markets. These, curiously
enough, are more than 2,400 miles
apart, one along the rich borders of
Puget sound, near the Pacific. and the
other in the low lying farm country in
the northeasterly portion of Long Is
land, near the Atlantic.
Puget Sound and Long Island.
lii the Puget sound district the cauli-
flower has flourished since the rail
roads have opened up the territory
and developed its advantages as
truck garden district Carloads Of
caulitlower are now shipped daily to
points along the Pacific coast and
towns to the eastward Still more re-
markable, though, is the caulifower
growing district on northeastern Long
1sland-a strip of country four miles
wide and about thirty miles long, ex-
tending from the little dip in the land
called Batting Hollow to where the
hustling little town of Greenport lies,
between Long Island sound and the
waters of its own deep harbor. This
is probably the busiest and most pros
porous truck farming area in the coun-
try. As evidence of its prosperity is
the fact that it has two savings banks,
with deposits of over 100000 each,
and three other state or national banks
with accounts of from 5000 1000 to $780,
600.
Up to Date Business Farmers.
The farmers are not at all like the
unproSperous, struggling agriculturists
of the old type. They are up to date
persons, who make a business of farm
ing and find it good business. Some
of them ride about the smooth Long
Island roads in their own automobiles.
They have private telephone system,
with 325 subscribers and a capltallza-
ton of 100000 One can drive through
the district from end to end without
finding single farm that has been al
lowed to run down and go to seed.

RrIght wool Prospects.

Recent English advices show that
Bradford manufacturers will be oblig-
ed to replenish their very low stocks at
market prices that have held firm dur
ing the summer. American buyers
bought heavily during the winter and
spring and it is believed will do the
same another year. Higher prices for
wool seem to be expected, and sheep
farmers look for profit both in England

Work to Catch the Spring Market.
1t Is Always Good.
1t is an encouraging sign of the times
to know Of so many farmers inquiring
as to the methods of pasturing pigs.
Some are still skeptical as to the adj
visibility of fattening pigs by the car
load, but to such all we can say is to
count up the number of cars of hogs
coming thousands of miles from the
west that are landed daily at local
packing houses here in New England.
Then consider whether it would be safe
for us here to make try at it. An
other fact in our favor is that we pro-
duce pig entirely different from ting
lard hog of the west, pig that profit
ably cuts up into the highest priced
class of meat-ham, bacon and sausage
meat. Any one having land of the
proper quality need not hesitate a
minute as to the question, says Mas
sachusetts farmer in New England
Homestead.
Ready For the Customer.
The provldent farmer will watch
market conditions closely and plan to
have these pigs ready when the GUS
toner comes around A patch of rape
ought to be so located that 1t could be
cut out when fattening time comes
and do service the remainder of the
season for some other class of hogs
These pigs should have month of
good feed composed of a mixture of
corn and oats, barley if possible and
the best quality of wheat bran. For
high quality of meat nothing can excel
this. Add SKINNED milk if possible.
Your packer will tell you that such
juicy hams cannot be found anywhere.
Market From the Pasture.
l think it the safest and most profit
able plan to market these pigs from the
pasture and even if kept into Novem-
Der make them comfortable where they
are. When the pasture Is cleared clean
up everything in the way of old bed
ding and haul on to some field to be
plowed under. Dash on by the pailful
a saturated solution of sulphate of iron
under the shed where the pigs have
laid; also over the platform of the wa
ter arrangement. Wash the trough
clean and put under the shed ready for
spring Three or four feet of old
meadow hay would protect the water
arrangement from the weather very
effectually.
