1t is doubtful If there is any kind of
fruit that will come strictly true to va
riety when grown from seed, as there
is tendency to deviate from the orig
inal. One may secure something supe-
rlor or the fruit may revert back to
some undesirable kind. It is a slow
and uncertain process. Chestnuts may
be grated when 1 year old. The nuts
are usually placed in the ground in
rows, inches deep. early in the spring
or late In the fall, killing over them IL
in the fall, and uncoyering In the
spring. They are very unreliable In
terminating and prefer a sandy loan.
The European varieties are larger than
the native. The native chestnuts vary
greatly, no two trees producing nuts
exactly alike in size. flavor, etc. The
foreign varieties are grated on the
American stocks. Trees grown from
American nuts can not be depended
upon for quality of product.

Composition of Crops.

A bulletin of the Minnesota Expert
ment Station discusses the composition
and characteristics of the more common
farm crops, as alfalfa, clover, peas,
rape, corr fodder, timothy, millet, etc.
In correction with the composition
Of some Of the crops the protein con-
tent Of the seed Is considered In the
case Of clover, alfalfa, peas, beans and
rape two distinct types of seed are
shown to recur, one of high and the
other of low protein content, and the
relationship of the physical character
istics of the seeds to the chemical com
position Is noted. The larger protein
content Of the seed Is considered as a
possible factor in the production of for
age crops Of high nutritive value. The
quality Of the forage in livestock feed
ing Is of great Importance, because by
the use ef more concentrated nitroge-
nous forage ratlons can be prepared
requiring smaller amounts of grlins
and milled products. The result is a
material financial saving of stock.

Beans" Is the title of recent farm
ers' bulletin, by Professor Corbett, the
well-known horticulturist of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Beans belong to one Of the most impor~
tant families Of economic plants with
which man has to deal-that of le-
gumes. The bean furnishes food for
both man and and beast, and at the
same time increases the fertility of
the soil 1t is, therefore, an impor-
tant crop. both in farm rotation and
in market garden work. The new bull
letln treats fairly of its cultivation,
care and use.
Professor Wianeko, of Purdue Expe-
riment Station, has just issued an in
teresting bulletin on soy beans, cow
peas and other forage crops. The Gull
ture of cow peas and soy beans ls be-
coming important with many farmers,
as they make good forage crops and at
the same time add fertility to the soil.
They belong to the legumes, and the
cost of producing Is about the same as
for corn, while their food value COM
pares very favorably with corn. Sew
eral other classes of forage plants are
described In the bulletin.

StuhhIe Fields.

Fields that are left to stubble, or
that are covered with weeds, cannot
now be benefited by cultivation. where
the seeds of the weeds have already
been scattered, but as soon as the frost
does Its work and the weeds are dry,
rake over the fields with horse rake
and burn all the refuse. Dead weeds
form harborlng places for field mice
and Insects, and during windy days,
after the weeds are thoroughly dry,
they are blown to other fields. BY
burning all refuse there will be fewer
weed seeds turned under next spring.

vile and points within radius of eight
miles of that place aggregated LOO
cars for the season that has just closed
The average price received a car was
$780, or a total of $SS0000 that has
been turned into the pockets of the farm
ers of this immediate section as a re-
suit of their seasons work. Jacksonville
has captured from Crystal Springs
Miss, the palm for being the greatest
tomato shipping point in the United
States. Until this season Crystal
Springs led in the industry, says an ex-
change. 1t is only within the last few
years that the worth of the. soil in that
section for tomato growing became
known. Until this discovery was made
the land was considered practically
worthless. Corn, cotton and otIer ordin-
airy crops do not do well. There was
no demand for the land Finally gov
eminent soil expert visited this section
and made an analysis of the soils, He
pronounced it well adapted to tomato
growing and to peach raising This in
formation was laughed at by the prac-
teal farmers, who thought that they
knew more about the soil of their own
farms than any ''upstart from Washing
ton"
A few of the more progressive land
owners thought that there might be
something in the report made by the
government soil expert, and in order TO
test the theory they planted small
patches of tomatoes and set out peach
orchards. Their success from the be-
ginning was little short of marvellous
The tomatoes thriyed and produced abun-
dainty. The peach trees made fine or
chards, and when they reached bear
ing age they produced a fruit that soon
attained wide reputation for its ex-
cellence. Many difficulties in the way
of marketing had to be overcome before
the tomato and peach-raising industries
were placed upon a certain and prohl-
able footing. Although abundant crops
were raised, heavy losses were incurred
on account of the lack of system IN
their marketing. The growers now have
their own sales agents in the principal
cities of the north and east, who attend
to the marketing of them. The demand
for the tomato crop IS so great, now,
ever, that buyers flock here from an
parts of the country during the season.

Shredded stovser.


For winter feeding of stock animals
this makes one Of the finest feeds on
the farm. The modern husking and
shredding machinery does excellent
work, and Its man-eating procliyities
have been largely eliminated. An or
binary threshing machine can be made
to do good shredding, but the grain Is
not left In the best condition. The
greatest drawback in the use Of both
husker and thresher Is that they re-
qulre large force of men and teams,
hence the work Is quite expensive.
Perhaps the cheapest corn husking is
done with the little old husking peg.
But 1t Is almost impossible to feed long
slower without considerable waste, and
the refuse stalks are a nuisance when
1t comes to handling the manure. These
difficulties may be overcome by running
the handhusked slower through conf
mon cutter and shredder This work
can usually be done without employing
much, If any outside help. In case ev-
erything Is hired, the cost of the work,
added to that of Handwriting and put
ting of the corn and slower in crib and
NOW or stack may equal or even exceed
the expense Of machine husking and
shredding. This is point for each to
decide from his own standpoint.
