CROP Production Essentials.

For the production of our common
farm crops there are a few essential
things that must not be overlooked.
II we expect to find profit in our
farming. One OF these is a soil on
which the solid water-called the wa
ter table--stands thirty inches or
more below the surface. We can
grow plants in almost any soil II the
.mec nical arrangement of the soil
~ es is right. and II the water cup
ESQ balanced In the soil that
! foot attraction will simply draw
49, y OF it to keep Trim film Of
water around the soil particles and
around the seeds or rootlets in the
soil. This water film is not thick
enough to prevent the operation OF
the air in the soil. the gases Of which
are appropriated by the plants. This
water balance is one Of the essentials
Of crop production.
Another factor is heat, which must
be not only in the air but also In the
soil. Why plants need heat In the
soil to help them grow we do not
know, but II appears to be necessary.
Heat is surely needed in the air over
the plants, as has been demonstrated
by all experience. The greater the sup
ply Of heat the more rapidly is the
water drawn through the plants from
below with its supply Of soluble plant
food. This rapidly of movement Is
controlled by the evaporation of the
moisture from the surface Of the
leaves, which evaporation is the great
pump that keeps up the circulation OF
the sap.
Another factor of plant production
is to have all the elements OF plant
food present In the required proper
lions. n all but one are abundant the
lack of that one will prevent the
growth of the plant. II one is In small
supply relative 20 the needs of the
plant, the development of the plant
will be meager. Nitrogen cannot be
substituted for potassium nor potas
stun for phosphorus. The plant de
mands a certain proportion OF each
and will not grow without It.

Clean the Pond.

A good many farmers have ponds
on their farms and wish to keep
them. II is, however, good
plan to have the pond so that
Il can be drained partly and
cleaned out in the way OF cutting
PUSHES and reeds that I'LL the water
near the banks and wherever It is
shallow. When ponds have a good
slope below them 1t is possible TO
deepen the outlet few feet and in
the dryest time OF summer permit the
water to flow out and give opportunity
to cut the Objectionable weeds. The
outlet II narrow can be easily supplied
with a gate that will keep the water
In when It is wanted. II ponds are TO
remain part of the farm they should
be made as slightly in appearance as
possible. Cutting the reeds and rushes
will make the pond better to take ice
from and better for the boys to skate
ON.

ONE WAY TO CATCH A THIEF.
Russian Muzhik Shows Craft In Bring
ing Theft to Light.

ing inert 10 Llgnt'
Charles Chapman Grafton, bishop Of
Fond du Lac, has just returned from
Russia. He brings back a hearty es-
TEEN for the Russian church and
hearty liking for the humble muzhik.
"The muzhik is singularly honest"
bishop Grafton said recently. This
characteristic in him was proved to
me by an episode | witnessed In a re-
mote Russian village, and TINS episode
was also notable for the credit II re-
iected on the intelligence OF certain
village leader.
1T appears that a pillow had been
stolen from a field. The like OF this
had never happened before. II had al
ways been customary TO leave every
thing unguarded in the village. Now
that thief had suddenly appeared,
what was TO be done?
ITO consider what should be done a
council of muzhiks was called. The
men, bearded and stern, gathered on
the common. The head muzhik held
up his hand for silence, and said:
1--WE are dishonored. A thief has
arisen among us. defiling our good
name. But all will end well, for have
discovered the thief, and will now
lay bare his shame to you. Ses'-and
he took up a big stone-'see, the thief
is before me, and now'-he raised his

hurl this stone at him
In the most violent manner the
head muzhik pretended to throw the
stone. and one man-only one-ducls
ed. This fellow-he was only half
witted-was, OF course, the thief. The
pillow was found in his cellar tnat after
noon"

In reply to the inquiry made by your
subscriber. would say that his apple
trees are undoubtedly affected with
the bacterial disease known as pear
blight. This is my opinion, simply
formed from the meager information
which he gives. To positively know,
II would be necessary to examine the
tree or the affected part. But we feel
sure that 1t is blight" There is no
known remedy whereby the disease
can be held in check or killed by
means Of spraying. It can be held in
check to considerable degree by re.
moving the diseased twigs or
branches. The cut should be made
from four to six inches below the point
where the bark is brown and dead.
The branches thus removed should be
burned. thus lessening the danger of
further spread OF the disease. The
disease is more likely to attack trees
that are succulent and growing rapid
ly. Thus conditions OF soil or care
which would produce less rapid and
more hardened wood growth would
tend to make the tree more resistant
and less susceptible to becoming dis
eased. A rapid, luxuriant growth
favors the disease, therefore a rich
soil, plenty of moisture and continued
cultivation favor It. The affected
branches should be removed with care
and burned. Secondly. cultural meth
DDS should be adopted whereby more
resistant tree may be produced" -
