WOODEN SHOES IN KENTUCKY
Dutch Settlers Around Louisville I'm.

port 200 Pairs of Them.
The very mention of the idea that
wooden shoes are worn in and around
Louisville seems a bit prepOsterous
to the modern citizenship of this Sec
ton, but they must be worn here
abouts-for they are shipped here.
Two hundred pairs of these unique
specimens of footwear passed through
the Louisville port yesterday. They
came directly from Rotterdam, con-
signed to local firm.
The Hollanders are famous for
making and wearing wooden shoes
and never lose their desire for wear
ing them, even when. they come to
this country. Scattered around in
this section there is a pretty good
sprinkle of these old-time Dutch, and
they must have their wooden shoes.
The shoes received yesterday will be
disposed of to these foreign-born
Dutch.
The shoes are not only unique in
their make, but are extremely light.
They are worn mostly during the
winter and in extreme wet weather.
They are made of one piece of
wood and there is no such thing as
leak in them. There has been but
slight change in their make for cen
turies.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

Putting In the Bean Crop.

The bean crop is always a profit
able one if 1t is obtained in good con-
dition and is cleaned properly. The
time to plant beans is after most Of
the other crops have been put in. The
bean will not stand frost and 1t is
of no use to plant beans while there
is still danger of even a light frost.
For the same reason it is better to
plant on ground that is not low and
cold. for such land is affected by
frosts at times when other lands
escape.
Beans will grow on very poor land,
but we have found that it pays to
raise beans on good land also. The
bean does not need a heavy applica-
ton of manure. In fact, a heavy ap-
plication Of manure is likely to de-
stroy the bean itself before it can de.
velop into a plant
Beans are planted either in the row
or in the hill. Where they are planted
in rows the application of manure in
the row should be light. This should
be tramped down and some dirt scat
tered over the manure to prevent the
seed coming in direct contact with the
manure. Then the beans should be
sown and the dirt lightly scattered
over them to less than a half inch in
depth. This is necessary. as the bean
pushes itself up through the soil,
rather than remaining and sending up
a sprout.
After the beans are up they should
be cultivated as soon as the weeds
begin to appear, but this should never
be done while the dew is on the
leaves. If care is not taken in this
regard rust is likely to result.
Beans must be in early enough to
be able to mature completely before
the coming of the fall frosts. We
have seen them sown after the fourth
of July, make a fine growth, but get
caught and be destroyed by frost in

Barrels or Boxes.

In a communication to the Farmers
Review, David Ruble says: why
don't the fruit dealers adopt the apple
box in place of the apple barrel?
The box is easier to handle, packs up
in less space. does not bruise the
fruit, sells better, and should not be
so expensive. The lumber here core
gon) costs but ten cents per box, and
the cost Of making is two cents. For
holding bushel of apples we make a
box here of the following dimensions:
IS inches long, 13 inches wide and
ten inches deep. We use boards cut
as follows: Two boards three-fourths
inch thick 13x10 inches; two boards
one-half inch thick 14x19@ inches;
two boards five-eights inch thick lOx
1912 inches"
We publish Mr.. Ruble's figures as
he gives them, but we do not quite
understand the force of the last three
sets of figures. The apple box is
coming into use more and more, but
it is evident that it viii have to be
made very cheap to drive out the bar
rel. According to the estimate Of
cost by Mr.. Ruble, three boxes would
cost Sc cents, which is about what
barrels can be purchased for in some
parts of the apple producing regions.
The box will have to be made much
cheaper than that unless barrels go
still higher. Barrels have some ad.
vantages over boxes in the minds of
the men that handle apples. They
claim that less handling is required
with barrels than with boxes, and
that the barrel can be rolled while the
box cannot. In loading and unload
ing barrels from trains and ships as
we'll wagons many establishments
have arrangements for rolling the bar.
rels up or down inclnes, which facili-
tate their handling. Mr.. Ruble says
that the boxes pack closer" but this
is used as one objection to the box
by shippers of fruit, as they say there
is then no room for the circulation of
air around the fruit packages. Far.

Smut on Onions.

People that raise onions from seed
sometimes notice dusty outbreak on
the plants raised from seed. The fun
gus becomes established in the soil,
and such soil should be avoided for
the growing Of onions from seed,
though 1t may be used for the growing
of transplanted onions. If it is ueces-
sary to continue to use the soil for
the growing Of onions from seed the
following treatment is recommended:
Mix 100 pounds of sulphur with so
pounds of air-slaked lime. This
should be the application for one acre
of land and it should be sown in the
drills at the time of planting the seed.
The Connecticut station reports that
one pound of formalin in 30 gallons
of water makes mixture that may
be sprinkled over the seed before it
is covered with the soil and that this
will prevent the growth of the rust
fungus. Some growers use fertilizer
drill and drill into the land per acre
from rs to 125 bushels per acre OF
ground lime. This helps 70 hold back
the disease.

The Poorly Drained Pasture.


One has but to keep his eyes open
70 see that the number of pastures
that are only partly drained are very
numerous. Last summer we noticed
one or these pastures not far from
Chicago. There was an undrained
pond in 1t and the cows were standing
in the shallow water, which they had
churned into thick paste. AS water,
the liquid was a failure. 1t was
simply source of contamination to
the milk supply.
We could point out pastures that
ior a generation have failed to pro-
vide the feed they should provide for
the reason that too much water stands
in them at all times of year. All
around this wet area is damp area
on which grows blue flag and duck
grass, neither of which is eaten or
can be eaten by the cows. The land is
doing its best to produce something,
but the grasses that are valuable to
man cannot grow in such a soil.
1t is a small matter to drain such
land. Usually the fall is sufficient to
make it necessary only to dig a ditch
through the wettest portion and draw
off the water. Even the open pasture
ditch is better than nothing, though
this is not to be compared in service
ability to pasture ditch that has tile
in the bottom and is closed up and
seeded over to grass.
Most of the poorly drained pastures
have no drainage except that given
them by nature The draining that
has been done on the farm has been
given to the parts of the farm that
are regarded as arabic or that are
kept in meadows and orchards. 1t
will pay to drain the pasture as GER
tainly as it will pay to drain the rest
of the farm, though the profits from
draining there may not be so great

Winter or Summer Zoos.

We hear much about getting win
ter eggs, and yet many people
make more money out of summer
eggs than out of winter eggs. We
visited large poultry establishment
in the latter part of the winter and
found the hens not laying at all. The
owner said that he was so feeding
them that they would not lay till
spring. He sold his eggs at several
dollars per dozen to people that want
ed fancy fowls and such people gen.
orally used the old hen to do their
incubating. The old hen doesn't get
to work until spring, and that is the
time the producer OF fancy eggs finds
the greatest demand on him.
