Horseradish.

In well conducted market gardens
the horseradish is very important
crop. 1t can be marketed at time
when the other crops are out Of the
way; thus it lengthens the season for
the gardener at a time when things are
generally quiet, says writer in Rural
New Yorker. 1t usually sells well in
our large markets, where there is al
ways sufficient demand to class it as
a paying crop. 1t delights in deep
moist soil. and on cold black ground,
where the cultivation of other yege-
tables is quite difficult, the horseradish
will sometimes grow to perfection. 1t
requires but little cultivation when
established. It makes large tops of
luxurious growth, keeping the ground
well shaded, and to some extent is self
protected against weeds and grass.

Truck growing is modern horticul-

fore the advent of extensive steam
navigation and the present great extern
sion of railroads each city and town
depended for its supply of vegetables
en- its immediate surrounding country.
Today the most distant states in the
Union are sending truck by boat and
train load to the great northern eenters

The ciinbinu Rose.

The rose is not natural climber; it
can ramble over low shrubs, large
powders and such things, but when
grown about a veranda pillar it must
be artificially supported by tying up
occasionally as 1t grows. This is more
satisfactory than ignoring it until the
end of the growing season 1t is then
a hard job to straighten out the badly
tangled or twisted shoots. and the
wind is likely to break them when they
are very long.
Never let one shoot grow upright for
too long a period or get very far
ahead OF the others, advises writer
in the Garden Magazine. If you do,
the strongest or leading shoot will re-
ceiye the greatest quantity Of the sap
and the plant, BY throwing its strength
to the top, will soon become nude ar

SILOS AND SILAGE.

In an address on silos at a dairy
mems meeting a speaker said: / ran
short Of ensilage for the cows in the
spring, and while I had pretty good
hay it did not take the place of silage.
The cows always looked for something
they did not get, and in the milk pail
one could notice difference too. AS
long as had ensiIage they had better
appetite for hay also. Never before in
winter were my cows in such thrifty
condition. In conclusion l would say
in regard to building silo that it is
the best thing / ever did The only
thing l regret is that did not have it
years ago.
The Silage Needed.
According to recognized authority,
each COW should have an allowance of
about four tons Of silage in the seven
months It is usually fed. 1t is there
fore easy to determine by the number
Of cattle to be subsisted how much
silage it is necessary to preserve. A
silo reasonably deep is the best pre-
servative of its contents and the most
economical, but 1t is held by good au-
thority that it is desirable to keep the
structure within reasonable bounds,
and when the structure goes beyond
that it is better to have two or more
silos.
Cost of Filling Silos.
The cost of filing silos Is carefully
-, %
from investigations made on thirty-one
farms In Wisconsin and Michigan. The
average yield of silage on the whole
number of farms was about nine tons.
The average cost of filing the silos
was 64 cents, the range being from 46
to sc cents. The average cost per acre
for putting away the corn was $5-9S.
The difference in cost was not wholly
due to management, but was partly ex-
planned by long hauls, lodged corn or
accidents to machinery
Value Of the silo.
The silo will enable the dairy farmer
to keep his cows six months at less
cost than 1t Is possible for him to keep
them six months In the summer on
blue grass, says Kimball's Dairy Farm
er. It Will provide succulent feed
for the cows in winter and make 1t
possible for them to give as good a fiow
OF milk with the mercury at 20 degrees
below as they will give In June and
produce 1t at less cost It will enable
the man with a small farm to double
the size Of his herd, and he will be
able to winter his cows on the fodder
from his cornfeld, which has always
been practically d waste product

Best Tools thu cheansst.

So much of the work of the garden is
done by hand that a farmer is mex
cusable who does not provide himself
with the best tools that are made.
Some do not appear to realize that as
much improvement has been made in
tools for garden work as for cultivat-
ing and harvesting farm crops. When
he sees the weeders and cultivators
operated by horsepower, he will find
that the amount of work necessarily
done by hand has been greatly reduced
and is not at all burdensome.-

Gloucester County Democrat., 1907-08-08
Dairy Feeds

The dairy farmer who has to buy
feed should look to the interests of his
soil when considering the feed he
needs. Bran has greater manurial
value than any other Of the common
dairy feeds, and next to it is clover.
The farmer who buys bran from the
wheatfelds of other states is buying
some of the very best fertility Of those
states. When he buys clover from his
neighbor's farm he is buying some Of
the very cream from his soil. Besides
receiving a profit from the feed in the
form of milk and butter he will also
more than receive its first cost In the
amount it increases the plant food ele-
ments in the manure.

Neglected Old Orchards.

In almost any part Of our state can
be found orchards of advanced age
which do not pay, and it is readily
seen that something is wrong. The
problem of renoyating an orchard is
sometimes large one and often proves
to be very expensive. The causes
which are responsible for an unprofita-
BILE orchard are many and may be
briefly stated thus; Unsuitable varie-
ties, poor drainage, unfayorable site,
poor soil, neglect, unfavorable climatic
conditions and old age.
The first and most important point in
rejuvenating an orchard is whether or
not the trees are worth saving. The
varieties may not be what you desire
or too far gone to be responsive to treat
ment If the trees are on wet land,
cut them down or thoroughly drain the
soil, as a fruit tree will never thrive
with wet feet. Apple trees over thirty
six or thirty-seven years old, which
have long been neglected, are not
worth saving; likewise the cherries
over twenty, the pear over twenty-five
or twenty three, the plum over fifteen
and the peach over twelve years of
age. In fact, the trees which should
not be worked with are those with a
high head, partially deeayed trunk and
in a generally run down condition. If
nothing more serious than insects and
fungous diseases is present, the orchard
may be very economically reclaimed =

other varieties.

INTEREST ON $50 STOCK.

The report that the Guggenheims
had disposed of a substantial portion
OF their holdings in Balaklala had
little effect on the market position Of
the stock. Around 81 the shares
are believed to look cheap, regardless
of the future curse of copper. Early
this fall the company will be in a po-
sition to begin operations on a large
scale, and with earnings such as then
will be possible, it is held that the
shares would be ridiculously cheap at
anything short of $40, says the Bos-
ton Commercial Bulletin.
Located in the Shasta county belt
of California, the company's mines
have been under development for the
past five years, and over 1000, 000
tons of ore averaging fifty pounds Of
copper and about 81 in gold and sill
yer values to the ton have been
brought into sight. 1t was on the
strength of the report on the prop
erty made by John Hayes Hammond
who declared that there was $25
per share net value in sight in the
mine-that the Guggenheims invest
ed in the company to the extent of
100000, and there is little reason
to doubt that their alleged disposal
of their interest in the company was
not due to any lack of confidence in
the company's prospect.
On a 20-cent metal market it is
estimated that Balaklala can earn,
when its plant is in full running or.
der, 81 per share. which is equivalent
to about as per cent of the current
market price of the shares.

rebound as it must with the return
of increased consumption. There is
another side to the argument, name
ly, that the producer wishes to stand
by the large manufacturer with
whom he has responsible contracts,
to protect him in his sales to the
small retailers until such time as he
has actually delivered the goods
which he has manufactured from
high-cost copper. Which of these
principles is the better to follow
each person must decide for himself.
1--WE cannot see, in a broad view of
the copper industry, any reason why
one should expect a serious general
decline in copper shares. Some Of
them are already selling at prices
which would be cheap were the metal
to sell at only Is cents per pound.
Amalgamated, for instance, ought to
be able to earn more than Sc per
share with copper at Is cents per
pound. Very likely some copper
properties would be dis~astrously af-
fected by any such extreme decline,
and the influence upon the copper
share market Of a serious decline in
one stock is, of course, apt to be
quite general.
ION the whole, therefore, W can
see no special inducement for a man
to take the bull side of these copper
stocks until we can take a more hope
full view of the metal market. The
only exception to such a statement
lies in the tendency Of certain specu-
lators in a decline to oversell some
one or two stocks now and then"

At the Jack Pot nothing has
transpired recently of special note.
Superintendent Harris is still taking
out high-grade ore and sacking, but
is only removing from the mine such
ore as must be moved from the drifts
in blocking out and exploring the
hill. The intention is to leave the
ore in the mine until such time as
they are ready to take it out in large
quantities, either to ship on a rail-
road o. to reduce to bullion when
the power line gets here. He has a
large pile of sacked ore hauled to
the road, to be loaded on the freight
wagon which is engaged for the pur-
pose, and hauled to Hazen, and as
soon as the team shall have delivered
sufficient to complete a car load, 1t
will be shipped to the smelter. He
has a force of men following the ore
on the lower level of the mine, and
will continue drifting and crosscut-
ting ON the ore body until he is sat
isfied that he has found Just HON big
