An Unappreciated Plant.

Chives Is a vegetable not widely
known in this country. 1t is native
along the northern borders Of the
United States as well as In some parts
Of Europe, where it is popular. The
plant belongs to the onion family, and
its leaves are used for seasoning in
soups, salads, ETC., and are preferred
to onions by many persons because
they are much milder and more ten
der. Europeans use chives for season
ing scrambled eggs and similar dishes.
The culture of chives is simple. The
plant will grow in any ordinary gar
den soil. 1t is usually propagated by
division of the roots, because it does
not seed readily. The roots or clumps
of roots may be purchased at moderate
prices. The clumps should be planted
In beds about nine inches apart in
rows which are two feet apart. The
planting may be done in either spring
or autumn. The chiveS may also be
planted in the border of the vegetable
garden and makes an excellent perma-
nent border. AS a border plant the
clumps should be planted about six
inches apart. The leaves will grow
thickly and form a dense green mat.

PLAN OF FIRST O

extensive establishment having several
kilns. The most satisfactory kiln,
all things considered, is about twen-
ty feet square. This is a convenient size
to fill, so far as the preparation of the
fruit is concerned. The heat can be well
regulated, made sufficiently intense for
the purpose desired and evenly dis
tributed so that the fruit will dry uni
formly, and for various minor reasons
a kiln Of this size is a desirable unit in
the construction of evaporators of this
type.
"a kiln consists essentially of a floor
made of Stats and placed over a fur
mace room or over a system of steam
pipes. The floor is usually built from
ten to twelve feet above the floor of
the furnace room. Provision should
be made for regulating the heat by
means of small openings at the base Of
the walls communicating with the out
side. These can be opened or closed,
as desired. The inflow Of cold air can
thus be regulated. Such control is
especially desirable in windy weather.
"If the evaporator is a frame build
ing, the walls of the furnace room
may well be plastered or covered with

The Csnkerworm Again.

The worm which devastated elm
trees and apple trees in Connecticut is
the cankerworm, the same pest that
visited trees ten years ago. The worm
does it's work very rapidly, but, unlike
the elm tree beetle, does not have a
long life and consequently the trees can
put forth new foliage, though at some
sacrifice of vitality. On the apple trees
it can be destroyed by arsenical spray
ing, but the trees must be treated when
the worm is very young if the work is
to be effective. The banding Of the
trunks of the trees with vermicides is
the most effective method Of proven
ton. The reports from the state re-
ceived at the Connecticut agricultural
experiment station indicate a very
great variation in the number of pests,
some towns suffering very seriously
and others being quite free from the
visitation.

THE UP TO DATE FARMER.
How He Makes Agriculture a Paying
Business.

How He Makes Agriculture a Paying
Business.
The up to date farmer knows the
value of being up to date. He knows
that new discoveries in the various sci
ences related to agriculture reveal new
relations and suggest better methods.
He knows that many of the theories
held and many of the methods prac-
ticed years ago, and some ever now,
are worthless. He knows that n
farmer cannot make as many expert
ments as can q thousand men.
He reads books on farming and does
not scott at the book farmer, mol does
he refuse to listen to the college pro-
~fessors, for, while he has great respect
for the students of agriculture, yet he
knows that the time has not come and
never can come when agriculture shall
be reduced to a rigid science, which
shall be governed by a code of rules
and laws, as are such sciences as chem
istry, physics and the like.
The up to date farmer has the latest
improved farming implements and to
save horsepower and to do most eff
cient work always keeps them in per-
feet order. He does not use a plow that
will not scour nor Il that is dull nor
one whose adjustment is such that
three horses must work hard to do the
work which two could easily do with a
plow properly adjusted. He under
Stands" the application of force to all
his farm machinery so that the great
est amount of work is accomplished
with the least expenditure of power.
When his farm implements are not in
use he keeps them well housed if it is
profitable to do so. A hundred dollar
wagon shed into which a twenty-five
dollar farm wagon is backed by hand
every time the team is unhitched is not
profitable.
The up to date farmer pays his debts.
Not the least important Of these Is the
one he owes to the soil. He knows that
each crop which the soil yields takes
from it something of its fertility and
that unless this fertility is returned to
the soil it can soon yield only a dimfn-
ished crop. So he is very careful year
by year to pay back to his land that
fertility which the crop has taken from
it. He knows many ways of doing this,
and the one which he will adopt will
depend upon the neighborhood. He
knows that he can u a dairy, and
when he sells a ton of butter, worth
perhaps $500, it will impoverish his
farm no more than to sell five Or six
hundred pounds of straw worth about
a dollar.
He will keep his hired help all the
year, and year after year, for the longer
they are in his employ the more valu.
able they are to him and the more he
can afford to pay them. He will buy
more food than he sells, will raise al
the feed he can for his stock and viii
not hesitate to buy more when needed
If he is wise in the management OF
the fertilizers from his barns and feeG
lots and wise in their distribution up
on his meadows and pastures and wise

r. RENEWING THE SOIL.
How a Wornout Farm Has Been Made
Profitable.

Profitable.
Sixteen years ago l purchased a
farm of 100 acres that had been owned
by a widow who rented fields to her
neighbors on shares, and Of course
the tenants took their portion home
and fed it on their farms and returned
nothing to this farm" writes a CORE
spondent.
"When l commenced to farm it, l
found the clay land only produced ten
to fifteen bushels Of corn per acre, the
black ground from thirty to forty
bushels. The clover was so light on
the clay land it did not pay to cut it. I
put in a good many rods of tile ditch,
fed all the grain except wheat that
grew on the farm, saved all the ma
nure and spread it on the poor spets
and raised one crop of corn, n Of
wheat and one Of clover in succession.
1 plow eight inches deep, but never
plow or turn or stock on ground when
wet.
Nov the clay land will produce
thirty to forty bushels and black land
fifty to sixty bushels Of corn per acre,
wheat fifteen to twenty-five and clover
so heavy that all had to be stirred be-
fore it would cure. / have lever used
a pound of commercial fertilizer. I
expect to continue increasing the fer.
tlity of the farm by the same process"

walls, at least the portion below the
kiln door, are double, with an air
space between the two sides, the in
sulation will be more perfect than if
they are solid or of only a single thick
ness, thus best conserving the heat
and Increasing the efficiency Of the
plant. The height of the walls of the
kiln above the drying door should be
sufficient to permit an attendant to
work on the floor conveniently and
with comfort.
"Some means for the escape of the
air laden with moisture from the fruit
is necessary. This may be provided
for by ear of an opening In the roof,
or a cupola-like ventilator may be
built, the sides Of which should con-
sist of slate placed SO they overlap
one another as in an ordinary window
blind. The kiln f1oor is constructed Of
strips especially designed for the pur-
pose. Such floors are generally made
Of poplar or Eastwood strips three
e1ghths of an inch thick, one inch
wide on the top surface and one-half
inch wide on the under side. In lay
ing the floor these strips are placed
one-eighth to one-fourth inch apart on
the upper surface. This makes the
space between them wider on the I'M
der side than On the upper, as shown,
thus allowing the small particles of
fruit which work down between them
to drop through without clogging the
intervening spaces"
Remember the importance of the
kitchen garden.
When mustard is a serious pest the
fields are sprayed with a solution that
kills the weed, but does not harm the
crop.
Preaching economy doesn't amount
to much. YoqSmust practice it, but
there is such a thing as being too
economical.
In Holland they rotate the fertili-
zers as well as the crops. Each crop
has its particular coaxer. Perhaps
that's why they farm successfully on
land worth $1,000 per acre.

MANAGING POSTS.

Easy Methods of Putting Them In or
Taking Them Out of the Ground.
One of the farmers problems is how
to look after the many posts which he
has need Of in keeping up fences, etc.
While experiences differ, it is safe to
say that white cedar poles last longer
than any other kind. White oak posts
are also good. 1t is said that posts put
into the ground tops downward will
outlast those that are set tops upward.
This is due, so it is surmised, to the
fact that they absorb water from the
earth when they are set in the natural
position, but do not absorb 1t when
they are reversed.
If the end of a post is allowed to
soak in liquid tar or is treated with
creosote, it will last much longer than
it would ordinarily. When it is neces-
sary to draw a post out of the ground,
it may be accomplished with little diff
