FOR THE DEAF SOLDIERS.

Gen. l. r. Sherwood, of Ohio. has in
troduced the following bill to provide
for electrical devices for deaf soldiers,
which has been referred to the Commit
tee on Invalid Pensions and ordered to
be printed:
Be 1t enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assem-
bled, That the Surgeon-General of the
United States is hereby authorized and
directed to contract with the manufac-
turers for the supply of such electrical
hearing devices of the latest improved
pattern as may be applied for by pen
sioners of the United States whose deaf
ness was incurred in the service and
line of duty.
Sec. 2. That the sum of $1,000, or so
much thereof as may be required, is
hereby appropriated. out of any money
in the Treasury not otherwise appro-
priated, to be expended by the Surgeon
General of the United States as provid-
ed in Sec. 1 of this act.
Sec. g. That the Surgeon-General is
authorized to direct every pensioner ap-
plying for electrical hearing devices TO
have that individual case of deafness
tested at an office where such hearing
devices are sold, and is further author
lied to furnish each pensioner so apply
ing with an order allowing not more
than s25 for a suitable instrument un-
less the test shows the case to be so
severe as to warrant an acoustic instru-
ment of greater power and higher price,
in which case greater sum may be
allowed, at the discretion of the Sur
geon- General, but in no case to exceed
$50.

Bur Clover and Crimson Glover.

AS bur clover belongs to the same
genus as alfalfa. the same bacteria
will thrive on the roots, and bur clover
seed sown in the rough will ~inoculate
the land for alfalfa, and it may be that
sowing the two at same time would
be a good practice. Then as to GRIM
son clover, / believe that the seed will
terminate better sown in the rough
than cleaned. But h South hould
produce its crimson clover seed. Or
course, it will not pay for one farmer
to own a huller for his individual
use, but when a large section gets to
growing this clover regularly it Will
pay some one to own the huller and
go from farm to farm and clean the
seed as is done on the Delaware
Maryland peninsula where a large
part Of the homegrown seed is now
produced, and where the failure last
spring made the present high price.
But as Mr.. Wilson says, it is worth
in nitrogen fixing as much per acre
as a ton of $50 fertilizer. A farmer
remarked to me recently that ST q
bushel was a big price, but that a
peck of the seed would do more for
him than any $3.50 worth Of f%ertili-
ger he could buy. some Of the seeds
men are now offering imported seed
at $3.50. Better examine a sample
before buying. Mr.. Wilson was fortu-
nate in getting a stand on ten acres
with two bushels of seed. would

THE PRODUCTION OF yEGT-

There is profit in raising high grade
seed. Seed crops OF sweet corn, gar
den peas, and beans of good quality
are IN ever-increasing demand, and
the quantity needed yearly has become
50 large that he seedman is obliged
to have the major portion of his stock
grown for him by others.
Within the past few years there has
been an enormous increase in the
quantity of seeds produced for COM
mercial This has been due
in large measure to the development
of seed growing and handling as a
business. There are now clearly one
thousand seed firms doing business in
the United States. one of the largest
Of these uses buildings with an aggre-
gatef loo space OF more than Is

CULTIVATION VS.. SPRTNKIIEG

Don't waste much time trying to
water a garden with a sprinkling pot.
Keep the soil fine and free from
weeds and let the watering go.
If you think watering does much
good, give a bed in the garden a good
watering and then dig down to find
how deep the water went. You will
be surprised to find how much water
IS required to danpen the top inch
of soil, and water never goes down in
the soil until the point Of saturation
IS reached.
You car do more good in an hour
with a hoe than YOU can in a dav with
q nkli pot.

Corn Firing.

] think that the main reason for
firing Of corn is shallow blowing and
deficiency of humus in the soil to re-
tain moisture. I have noticed here
that on the sandiest soils there Is no
firing where a growth Of crimson
clover has been turned under for the
corn. The decaying clover retains
moisture, and the corn keeps green
to the ground. I have noticed TINS
in field after field, and ave never
yet been able to find fired corn where
crimson clover was turned under.
Shallow cultivation too, is important
to prevent firing, for in fields where
the corn is laid by with a turning
pillow there is always firing, because
the roots are cut and the food for
the leaves is withdrawn and, OF
course, the leaf dies.

Notes and Comments.

There is great need for better baling
of cotton. The great loss can be seen
on every Southern cotton platform.
Buyers are responsible for a good
IDEAL of this ragged condition, for
they tear up bales needlessly in getting
out samples. But a more complete
cover such as is put over the Sea
Island cotton and better DOPING
would make a great change in the
wav the cotton carries. Then those
bales of Egyptian cotton do not seem
to have gone through the compress

can bales. But, as the editor says.
there is room for great improvement
in American baling. Bale the cotton

it now. The early soys should be

Down in Florida they grow egg
plants tor the Northern markets, but
in many parts OF the South, especial
~ in North Carolina one seldom sees
elephants in the garden. But there
is no finer vegetable for the summer
and fall table, and in the fall they
can be boiled and canned and can be
made into cakes and friend in batter
all winter.
Carrots, too, are generally neg
lected. One can SOW in the fall seed
Of the OXheart carrot or the Early
Horn carrot, and let them stand and
pull them for the table all winter, as
| have done, and they are fine in
soups.
Parnsips and satisfy, too, are too
seldom seen. These are entirely win
ter vegetables, and furnish a desira-
bic variety for the table in winter.
They have been neglected largely be-
cause those who have tried them
have followed the Northern practice
Of sowing them in the earliest spring.
Then in the South they are apt to
rnu to seed at midsummer and be
ruined. Sow the seed at once in Mis-
sissippi and the Lower South (fur-
thren north in July) and they will
grow and make their best growth
in late aturnn, and in fact Will grow
some all winter, as tneN are very
hardy plants. Satisfy is often called
vegetable oyster or o~yster-plant, Ee-
cause the boiled roots being mashed
and fried in cakes resemble very much
in taste fried oysters. The Student
parsnip is the best and the Sandwich
Island satisfy.
Most people SOW some early garden
peas, but gew understand how easy
it is to get a fall crops Of peas. [
have found the Dwarf Premium Gem
the best for fall sowing. / SOW them
in August in deep burrows and cover
lightly at first, and as they grow work
the earth to them till level, the OBJ
ject being TO get the roots down in the
moist earth to prevent drying out in
the dry weather Of September. Try
a fall crop Of peas ana YOU Will al
ways have them.
Another vegetable seldom seen IN
the South is the brussels sprouts.
These are grown just like collards
and MAKE a tail stem on which little
cabba ge-1ike heads the size of hick-
DRY nuts grow. These little heads are
fine after frost touches them.
