Gardening surrest,onn.

The main cabbage crop may be trans
planted during June or July, and a
crop of millet or Hungarian grass may
be put in If desired. In some sec
lions the sweet potato crop does not
get fully transplanted before June.
Carrots, beets and parsnips should
always be put in the ground early, yet
it is not too late to make good crops
of them in June, provided rain falls
during the time the seed is in. The
turnip crop is one of the most import
ant, and the putting in Of the seed may
be deferred until any time after a
good rain, but farmers must prepare
their lands well for late crops, espe-
clally If the seeds are fine or of a
kind that does not terminate quickly.
Good preparation is one Of the essen
tials to good growth and capacity to
withstand drought.

The Meat We Eat.

The per capita consumption Of meat
in the United States is estimated at
179 pounds. The Australians alone
surpass us as meat eaters, and the
average in their country is abnor.
mally high because of the large num-
Der of animals as compared with the
sparse population, meat in consequence
being abundant and cheap. Following
the United States are Argentina, Great
Britain. Germany and France, ranging
from 14O to 81 pounds, and Italy
brings up the rear of the procession
with q pounds. In Germany there are
slaughtered for food each year under
official inspection numbers of horses
and dogs in addition to the usual food
animals. In Paris there were slaugh-
tered for food during ten years an
annual average Of more than 10000
horses, mules and asses.

OF all men, our farmers are most in
terested in the enactment and enforce
ment of pure food laws. Not that they
are particularly affected by food adul-
iteration, for they take almost every
thing they eat right from the hand o.
nature But they are concerned that
the stuff they produce shall reach the
city neighbor who uses it as fresh, pure
and wholesome as possible.
1t is in a way a reflection upon the
farmer that milk, butter, fruits and
other things which come from the
farms of the country are impure and
so calculated to work injury to the
life and health of the nation. So they
are doing all in their power to bring
about tht best legislation on this sub
ject. They also desire that the laws
already enacted shall be put into eft 1t
Therefore they welcome the sugges-
ton of DIR. Wiley, chief of the bureau
of chemistry of the department of agri-
culture at Washington, that the ma
tional government shall set the stand
ard for pure milk at 32o per cent Of
butter fat.
Our farmers are now producing milk
that averages very closely to 4 per Gen7.
Few of them are satisfied with any
thing below that point. And they do
not like to be told, as they have been
many times, that the average for milk
sold in the markets of the country is
far below that standard. 1t is not
their fault that it is so, and they want
the crime, for it is little less than a
crime to thus debase the milk supply
Of the country, placed where it belongs,
and punishment inflicted accordingly.
The same thing is true touching all
other farm products. The farmers
want it just as good as nature gave
it to them when it reaches the table
of the man who uses it.

The illustration shows device for
a hay box, which should be in every
stable. This box may be made of any
dimensions desired and reaches from
the loft to just above the manger IN
the stall below, placing it at height
so that the horse can get at the nay
readily. AS shown in the cut the boX
should be wider at the bottom than
at the top to prevent the hay from
lodging. The open space below should
be fitted with two or more light iron
bars to prevent the animal from pulling
out too much Of the hay at time
and wasting it.
In the lower part of the drawing is

Lime-su1phur-salt wash.


From experiments carried on with
chemically pure lime and sulphur, it
appears to the author Of a government
bulletin that solid sulphur is not dis
solved by boiling fifteen minutes, but
that the best results are obtained by
boiling from forty-ive to sixty min
utes. A boiling period of one hour
is sufficient to dissolve nearly all Of
the sulphur, but the thiosulphates are
somewhat increased by a longer period.
Salt apparently has no influence
upon the composition of the wash in
so far as the sulphur compounds are
concerned. The slight differences in
the composition Of the wash, as Used
by different Investigators, have little or
no influence upon the time required
for boiling. When lime and sulphur
are used in equal quantities there is
more than enough lime to dissolve the
sulphur. These substances may be
used in the proportion of one pound of
lime to one and one-quarter pounds of
sulphur. About twenty-five pounds of
sulphur to fifty gallons is maximum
quantity.
1t appears that the use of air-slaked
lime has no influence on the compo-
sltion Of the wash, and that there is
likewise practically no difference in
composition whether flowers Of sui
phur or -four of sulphur is used. De
tailed notes are also given on the COM
position of lime-sulphur wash with
particular reference to the different
kinds of sulphur compounds. 1t is
found that not all Of the sulphur is
dissolved by the heat generated by
caustic soda, but the suggestion is
made that a wash containing ten
pounds of caustic soda and nineteen
pounds of sulphur per fifty gallons of
water without lime may give satisfac-
| tory results
