The Junior Gunpowder Agricultural
Club.-Following is the report of Messrs.
Calvin s. Price, Daniel S. Pearce and I. P. W.
France, who composed the inspection commit
tee at the meeting of the club at the farm of
Mr.. George E. Shelley, Ny Lady's Manor:
"Our attention was first called to two acre
lot of alfalfa which was seeded in the fall and
which will give good yield. 1t was seen that
the part of the lot that was sowed with lnocula-
ted seed did not show as well as that which had
soil bacteria applied. The grass sets of clover
and timothy, viewed from distance. are en-
couragng. The wheat stands thick and is
promising. Some good hay in a barrack means
surplus for the farm and can be sold at any
time to add to the balance in bank. A colt IN
u
% COWS were admired for their makeup and
milk product, it being as much as so gallons
daily. The milk and cream are managed with
cooler and are of the best marketable value.
The convenient ice room proves the good Judg-
ment exercised for the preservation ofthe milk.
The corn in the crib is sufficient for the needs
of the farm and is of good quality. The five
pigs and five shoats, also the working stock,
are doing well and prove thoughtful attention.
Our host and his son are cooperating success
fully, judging from results of their labors IN
farming and adding improvements"
THE HALF HOUR FOR QUESTIONS
As to the black ends of corn showing lmper-
feet seed, Mr.. Granville Matthews showed the
testing of four grains-two with black ends and
two with good ends All of theg rainssproute
e6s5 %aS1fd pesfec jnqf iS4vwtef,s s0f the
Senior Club, had tested and reported recently.
When it was said the black end grains would
not develop the best corn Mr.. Matthews was
requested to plant all of the sprouted grains so
astop prove whether the black end sprouts would
produce good ears of corn.
ardson said his is good height but no blossoms
have been seen. The blossoms indicate when
it should be cut. DR.. D. s. Pearce has noticed
that where he had cut some alfalfa it failed to
sprout and to do well afterwards. 1t was SAID
care should be exercised in cutting it and not
to do so until the sprout shows at the surface
of the root. His five acres of new cut shows
very favorably. 1t was thought much is due
to the climate for successful growing OF alfalfa,
and our climate is not just right for best results
It is acknowledged to be valuable grass to add
fertility and feed. Mr.. Richardson is blowing
down crimson clover for corn and finds the
plant is full of nodules which carry the bac-
terra for soil improvement.
Respecting the operation of manure spread
er and the difficulty on ascending hill when
it is in gear, it was said even the smallest
spreaders cause heavy draft and good judg--
ment should be exercised on getting to elevated
points. The features of the New Idea machine
were discussed and the knowledge OF working
all spreaders for best results. The value OF
spreaders on the farm was estimated very
highly because of labor saving, better work,
and the benefit to the ground because OF better
| spreading.
AS to the cost of producing an acre of corn,
wheat oats, &C., the United States Agricultural
| Department has been getting some statistics.
| The club did not fully decide as to the cost OF
the several crops, but reference was to the
| figures given by Mr.. John Crowtber and Mr. j.
| s. Crowther, of the Senior Club, who some
time ago figured accurately as to their opinions
| They reckoned as to the loss of fertility on
| growing the crops, but expression was that the
| fertility, added by the use of manures and
| commercial fertilizers about met the loss OF
| fertility.
MIR. Upton H. Tarbert thought well of the
| club members going to see the manufacture
| of commercial fertilizers, so as to inform them
selves of the ingredients used and how the mix
ing is carried on. ..r >.
was said the small corn with the top pinched
off when transplanted will grow and is better
| than replanting. With the top off it will start
| we'll. but if the top is left on it it will fail.
| Some expression was to the desire of city
| peopIe seeking farms or suburban homes, in
| dicating the interest in country life and the
getting away from the hustle and noise. This
| Should impress the farmers to be more appre-
ciative of their homes and to make them the
best places of life.
