Popular Strawberry.

The Aroma is one of the leading
market varieties of the United States,
introduced a good many years ago,
says the Agriculturist. The Aroma is
an exceedingly smooth and beautifully
shaped berry, running large to very
large in size. brightly colored, quite
productive and of excellent quality.
It is one of the most reliable bearers.
Its berries are SO firm as to place it
In the first rank as a shipper. In
time of ripening it is midseason to
late. It has perfect blossom, a long
season of Towering and is splendid
pollenizer for all except the extra ear.
lies. In the great strawberry region
of southwest Missouri the Aroma is
the leading shipper and it was there
that its sterling qualities first brought
1t into prominence.

Propaaatlna Grape Wines.

The best way to increase grape
vines for horne vineyard is to make
simple cuttings in the fall after the
leaves have dropped. This may be
done when the parent vine is pruned

30 as to include two buds, one at
the base of the cutting. the other Just
below the top. The cuttings are then
to be bundled with their butts togeth-

of frost, in well drained, sandy or
loamy soil. When spring opens they
are to be set in drills six or eight
inches apart In the drill and cult

into the wagon as fast as they are
plowed up. 1t now remains for some
body to design an improvement in

The Cooling Moth.

brown spot marked with streaks Of

The moths begin to lay their eggs
at once The egg upon leaf or fruit
looks like small white blister about
the size Of pin head. They hatch
in about five to 10 days. AS soon as
the young worm crswls from the egg
it begins to feed upon the foliage or
the young apples. Upon reaching the
nearest apples about three-fourths Of
the worms enter them at the blossom
end. The rest of the worms enter the
fruit through the side. The worms
often hollow out the seeds, their work
being indicated by the well.known
excreta thrown out at the clayx, show

Treatment for Sweeney.

My father was an Illinois farmer.
On two occasions saw him effec-
tually cure sweeney, says writer in
Wallsces Farmer. In the barnyard
he built fire of chips, in which he
placed an old ak. Then he would thor
oughly battle the lame shoulder of the
horse In lard or meat drippings and
when the ak was almost red-hot he
would hold 1t very close to the shout
der and thoroughly heat the lard into
the flesh. The horse had to be held
firmly by some one, for at first he
would shy about considerably; but aft
er he learned that the treatment was
for his benefit he would take to it very
kindly. During treatment he was
given the freedom Of the barnyard.
and when again worked no loose or
slouchy collar was allowed on him.
Two or three weeks (every day. treat.
ment effected cure.

ventilation. The foul air is carried
off by means of ventilating shafts
-four in Misunderstanding from the
ceiling to the stable out through the
roof. These are built somewhat larger
than is required for this purpose in
order to serve as feed chutes. The
shafts are supplemented by fues built
in the wall about 20 feet apart and ex-
tend like chimneys well above the
caves. Each has square or oblong
opening near the floor and smaller
one near the ceiling. While the flues
are not essential to ventilation they
no doubt increase its efficiency Their
installation is based on the principle
that while in theory the stable impur-
tiles diffuse throughout the warm air
and with it are drawn off by connec-
ton through the foul air shafts, in
practice small portion frequently
falls to lower level and may be TAX
en- up by the f1ues.

Milk Value Of Corn Fodder,

Trials at the Vermont station show
that there is no material difference in

The same results were secured with

ture corn. A pound of dry matter Of
the immature corn produced the same

of ventilation can be called complete:
~ A constant change of air in the
stable. (2) The introduction and dis
tribution of fresh air without
draughts. (3) The removal of foul
air without condensation and conse-
quent dripping.
OF the many systems devised most
of them fulfil some of these principles,
comparatively few all of them. Some
are very simple, but only partially eff
fective, others are quite effective, but
too cumbersome and expensive for or
binary farm buildings.
A system installed on farm near
TiIlsonburg, Ont, seems worthy of de-
scription. Based on accurate scien-
tific principles. 1t has given excellent
results, Is practical and withal may
be so modified as to match the needs
and pockets Of the average farmer.
The fresh air is admitted to the
stable by means of a pipe passing just
below the floor of the feeding alley
and running the whole length of the
passage. It is "a inches in diameter
and is made to do duty for 40 head Of
cattle. This main conduit is tapped
every eight feet and the air is distrib-
uted by lateral pipes nine inches in
diameter, alternately on opposite sides
of the main and opening out at the
floor level just in front of the manger.
To prevent the open ends plugging
with dirt they are protected with a
woven wire covering. While keeping
out refuse this does not In any way
retard the free circulation Of air.
Warming the outside air before 1t is
admitted to the stable is prominent
feature of this system. A large stand
pipe is erected about 100 feet from
the building and is connected with
the main conduit in the feeding alley
by an underground pipe or sub-earth
duct sunk eight feet below the surface
Of the ground. This stand-pipe is sur
mounted by a revolving cowl, so ar.
ranged with a wing or tail that the
mouth is always open to the breeze,
no matter which way the wind blows.
The under pipe being below the frost
line, the temperature at this level Is
much higher than that Of the atmos-
theric air and varies but slightly
throughout the year. In this way the
air enters the stable at practically a
constant temperature, being cooled in
summer and warmed In winter. Hence
there ID afforded what seems to be a
simple solution to q vexed question In
