1t sometimes happens that one has to
plow sod whenever the opportunity pre-
sents itself for doing the work, with
out reference to whether the time
chosen IS the best or not. Some argu-
ments might be advanced In favor Of
early fall plowing. while late fall
ploWing also has is advantageous fea-
lures. If plowing Is done early in the
fall, say in September or October, 1t
IS usually necessary to do little disk
ing before the ground freezes up, 9th
erWiSe the grass may make consider
able groWths. and this in turn pre-
vents the sod from decaying. If one
has the available horse power and also
the time to do the work, buestem sod
may be brought into fine condition by
ploWing it early and afterwards disk
ing it. The ordinary method Is to plow
late in the fall. If the sod Is turned
over completely with but little buckling
the grass will make but little head
way, and consequently a saving Of Ia
Dor will be affected, as compared with
early plOwing.-Field and Farm.

Electric Farming.

Experiments in electrical farming,
which have been held by Prof. Lem
stroem, of IIelslngsfors, have demon
strated some very Interesting facts. In
one experiment with carrots the yield
was Increased 80 per cent the first
year and 30 per cent the second year
over plants that were not treated cleo
trically. In another experiment with
potatoes where the current was Cener-
ated galvanically in the earth by
means of copper and zinc plates con-
nected by insulated wires strung above
growing vines, an increased yield Of
from 60 per cent to 100 per cent was
recorded. Some scientists now claim
thaat the large harvests Of Spitzbergen
and Finland are due to the electrical
Influence of the aurora borealis.-

Csr md yOlue Of the SlID.

The use ana value OF the silo has
made phenomenal progress throughout
the country during recent years. In
1883 the United States Agricultural
Department reported only ninety sllos
In the country. The recent report finds
approximately 100000. Formerly the
benefits Of the silo were almost wholly
unknown to the average farmer; now
it Is found to be a necessity on thou
sands of farms. This is especially true
In the corn belt, where the silo Is almost
Il necessity in economical dairying.
Recent experiments prove conclusively
that the use Of silage is quite as much
of a necessity in beef production. 1t
not only provides a palatable, succu-
lent, healthy food, but enables the
farmer to keep about twice the number
of live stock as before the advent or
the silo. 1t not only produces nearly
double the quantity of dairy products
and beef, but augments the fertility of
the soil The slo is here to stay, and
every farmer should plan to have one.
With all its other advantages, there Is
no other way that roughage can be so
cheaply stored.

In many sections of the country
where there is gravelly sub-strata,
the obtaining Of water is a compara-
lively simple matter by means Of a
driven well, says Farming. The method
Is as follows: A section Of pipe Ca con-
venient size being inch and quarter)
IS fitted with point of iron. This pipe
IS bored full Of holes. which are cov-
cred with brass gauze. The point Is
driven into the ground by sledge ham,
mer and fivefoot sections Of galvan-
lied iron pipe are joined to 1t as 1t IS
driven into the ground. Frequent tests
are made with a pitcher pump to dis
cover when water has been reached.
This method of obtaining water is not
altogether satisfactory, because from the
very nature Of things the work has to
be done blindly, and very often one is
obliged to give up entirely after hav-
ing driven twenty or thirty feet Of pipe
through quicksand from which no
water can be obtained

Mulching Peach Trees.

The Nebraska experiment station has
demonstrated that rapidly growing
peach trees are made harder in both
wood and fruit bud by the use Of a
cover-crop. BY drying the ground some
what in late summer the growth of the
trees is checked and the wood natures
properly before the advent of freezing
weather. Covcr-crops that survive the
winter-rye, for instance-are detri-
mental to orchards, because they dry
the ground excessively in spring when
the trees need abundant moisture
Cover-crops that are killed by the early
frosts are better tAan those which live
later, because as soon as killed they
stop drying the soil. catch fall rains
and winter SHOWS and check evapora
ton.

New York Hotel for Boys.

Under the management of Miss Mary
Laidlaw Proudfoot. niece of the late Mrs.
Laidlaw, who devoted much money to the
helping of poor boys. the first real hotel
for homeless boys has just been opened
at 300 West Twenty street, New
York City. At the outset there were
eight patrons, self-supporting Office boys
or messengers, and for the remaining six
vacancies many applications were on file.
The establishment is not to be regarded
as a charity. Each boy pays according to
his means, and this entities him to a room
of his own. The public. however, is in
vited to contribute toward the expense

secured

An experiment in pupil self-govern-
ment has been in progress in a village
school in Macon county, Mo. In the main
room. where the older pupils assemble,
the selfgoverning class gathered about
the table and elected its own officers. and
the principal used phonograph to die
tate problems, SO that the pupils should
be relieved entirely of the supervision Of
the teacher. As the machine was set III
motion the pupils copied the problems and
discussed or worked out the answers,
which were then tabulated by the teacher
and turned over to the principal. Not
one pupil was returned to the regular
classes from failure to keep up with the
studies This year the experiment is to
be extended to a number of other districts.

START OF A FLORIDA FEUD.

speaking about feuds." said John L.
Humphries of Tampa, Fla, Il think
that the strangest, In its inception, is
one between two families in Marion
County, in our State. 1t came about
this way. You know in our State some
times land disappears during the night
and man wakes up to find his gar
den a great sinkhole. This IS, of course,
due to the fact that Florida is built on
coral and not very substantially built
at that, especially in some Of the in
terror counties. Harry Redding had a
nice patch of Irish potatoes. and Oliver
Vance. his neghbOr, had what he called
farm and near the house was a sink
hole.
zone night Reddlng's potato patch
disappeared and the next morning he
had nice large sinkhole filed with
water where his garden was. The same
night Vance. who had slnkhoe when
he went to bed. woke up to find that
the hole was filled with dirt In which
there seemed to he Il lot of pebbles
about the size of a mans fist. Natur-
ally he was surprised, He examined
the pebbles to find them potatoes, and
after calling the family mp they got to
work and gathered in six bushels Of
potatoes ready for market.
"Thats where the trouble began.
Redding claimed that under the law
where a mans stock wanders on to the
PREMISES of another. without his fault,
he can 90 after ii. He argued that the
same doctrine applied to potatoes which
had wandering habits For he was very
sure that the potatoes on the Vance
f>rm belonged to him. Vance and his
friends invoked another principle of
law that man owns his land from
heaven to hades and he refused to dig
up the potatoes for the benefit OF his
neighbor.
"Al that happened ten years ago."
continued Mr.. Humphries "and the
Readings and the Vances are still
armed against each other. Two or three
skirmlshes have taken place between
the parties and one of the Vance boys,
Is years old, was wounded by fire from
the enemy.
"They are never spoken 10 each other
since that eventful night ten years ago.
Lawyers and politicians have gone out
to help them settle their difficulties,
but they were ohdnrate. and If the feud
grows for twenty years rs Il has al
ready Florida and Marion County will
have feud equal to the best that Ken
tucky has ever produced Denver Re

Medical Inspection for Students.

According TO the School Journal it Is
estimated that the expense of operating
the new inspection law in Massachusetts
public schools is about So per 1000 in
habitants, in the larger cities, but that
in smaller places where the doctor comes
only when sent for the expense is S1I
per loo. The law authorized the school
board of each city or town TO appoint
a school physician or physicians. and that
the sight and hearing shall he tested an
nually by the teachers. The expense is to
be borne by a local appropriation.

The proper construction Of the silo
is of the greatest Importance. If the
sides of the silo are not alright. too
much air is admitted and the silage
will spoil. If the walls are not per-
fectly rigid the presence Of the silage
will cause them TO spring out, thus al
lowing air to enter between the slage
and the wall. and, again. the result Is
decayed sllage.
Before building silo the most care
full attention should be given TO loca-
tion, size, form and method of CON
structiOn. These will differ mewhat
according to locality and individual
needs.-Farmlng.

Scarcity of Quail.

Quail starved to death by thousands
in the winter Of 19O4-05, but last winter
they had an easy time except in Febru-
ary and March. From Massachusetts
to Indiana the quail are so scarce that
restocking has become necessary. The
birds for this purpose are hard to find.
More than 100000 have been captured
in Alabama and the southwest, where
they still occur in abundance, and have
been shipped north for breeding Even
this supply is inadequate. and may not
last long. The quail is perhaps our most
popular game bird, and market will
be found for all that can be procured
Complete success has been had in rails
ing them on n small scale. Why should
not some one go into the business on
such a scale that he could turn out
100000 quail per year?-Country Life
