A NEW MEXICO QUERY.

X lady reader of these notes living near Mountainair, N. M., writes inquir- ing if strawberries will grow and do well in the rich chocolate soil of that section and if they will need covering during the winter. While the writer is not acquainted personally with the section in question, two or three gen eral statements may be made which will be helpful. In the first place, choc- olate soil is usually as rich in fertiliz- ing elements as any other and would seem to be all right for the straw berry. A more important considera- tion would be sufficient moisture to in sure the growth of the plants and the maturing of the fruit, and this would have to be supplied by ditch at needed times if the rainfall were not sufficient. Cultivation should be given often enough to keep the soil mellow and to conserve the moisture. If during the months when the plants were dormant the mercury did not go lower than 10 above zero, the bed would hardly need covering. However, ill this connection it is we'll to keep in mind the fact that it is not degrees of cold that kill berry vines, but alternate thawing and freeZ- ing, and local conditions would deter mine to quite an extent the probable danger from this source.

NO GROUND FOR DISCOURAGE

Just because the Missouri, Michigan nr New York orchardist reads of fruit returns from the mountain and Pacific coast states far surpassing any he has been able to secure is no reason why he should throw up the sponge, if he feels inclined to do so, and grub out his trees Rather should he take ac- count of the careful methods by which tho western fruit ranchman is able to secure such high returns-nImoly, painstaking handling of the soil, great care in pruning and spraying, costly thinning, which insureS fruit of prop CT size, and lastly, and as important as any factor, cooperation in the matter of packing and marketing. Many a New England orchard has been reju- venated and made immensely profit able by the employment of scientific methods in caring for it, and many an other may be made q large source of NearnesS to market is another factor decidedly to the advantage of the east ern apple grower, as 1t costs about 60 cents bushel to land the bushel box of fancy fruit from the Pacific coast in New York or Boston. Let eastern orchard owners make their orchards a primary instead of q second or third rate consideration and give them the attention that the western ranchman does his and they will be surprised at the results.

BLOOD TOLD.

That blood will tell, even ill the rais- ing of corn, was nicely illustrated i'll the case of an Iowa grower who paid $5.35 per bushel for his seed at the time of the corn contest at the State Agricultural college. To prove to his own satisfaction the value of pure bred seed over the best seed selecteI from common corn, he planted the pure bred seed-Reid's Yellow Dcnt--in rows alongside the other corn. Both plots had the same stand and received the same cultivation and care. At husking time the pure bred corn yield ed at the rate of SeVenty-one and d half bushels per acre, while the s,rub corn gave return of tifty-nine bush els, difference of eleven and half bushels per acre. Since a bushel of corn will plant seven acres it is quite clear that this amount of seed would produce an increased yield equal to seven times that on one acre, or eighty and d half bushels. If this corn was worth 50 cents a bushel. the buShel of seed was worth in crop returns $40.20 more than the common corn. It would be well for the corn grower to have instances of this in mind when he pays a long price for good seed corn next spring.

THE EVERLASTING RAT PEST.

INO MAI PED l.
 Considering the enormous loss from the rat pest, placed at $100,OOO,OOO an. nually ill this country alone, every farmer and householder should do all ill his power by means of traps, poi sons and any other devices to reduce the number of the rodents to a mini mum. That the war against them should be intending is indicated from their remarkable proliGcacy, the adult female producing an average of ten young ones to the litter and from three to five filters ill a season. One of the best methods Of slow poisoning is one part of barytcS mixed with eight parts of cornmeal ard stirred into a stiff dough and |" iuns of it placed where the rats i.i 2j hold of it. This has an advantage Ger strych- nine or arsenic in that @f.c.' getting it the rats have time to lc1Yp the build ings in which they happen to be in search of water. Cage and guillotine traps, cats and rat terriers are also effective aids in the wcrH Of destruc. tiOn.

J. c. Imboden. a leading Illinois cat tie feeder, in a recent address before the Corn Belt Meat Producers assO- citation advised his hearers as feeders of cattle to buy the common kinds of steers rather than high grades. as they would be able to get them at about their own prices since in the case of the grades the owner had too much to say about the price he received. While not intended as such. there seems to be very excellent argument here for the cattle raiser to produce the grade and high grade steers rather than the scrub, as the call for them is so strong on the part of buyers that there are never enough to supply the demand. This means that the price for this class of steers will always range high.

Whether part of a preconcelvcd scheme or not. it is observable if one looks into the situation at all that our system of national economy, especial ly as regards transportation and manu- facture, seems to be so adjusted as to give the transportation companies of the country the longest possible haulS on raw and finished products. X few illustrations come readily to mind. Cow hides are shipped largely to New England in the raw (One freight chargel and then shipped back ail owe" the west in enormous quantities (an- other freight chargel. The wool prod uct of the great west crosses the cOn- tinent to eastern mills largely. and when made into blankets and garments is shipped halfway across the conti- nent to reach its consumers two trans portation charges). Instead of the New England states producing all the butter that they use, the bulk of 1t ia shipped from the Mississippi valley, the freight charge being reduced so low that thousands of the hilly farms of the east have been abandoned be- cause of the western competition, but the transportation company gets the freight. And so the list might be en- arged. inc ud' 2 Tex cnioCs and veg etables shipped to New York and Chi Cago Pacific coast fruits. etc, those near big markets being knocked out by cheap freight rates granted to those living at q distance. and yet through oil T,o of the proceeds for getting the product, whatever it may be. from producer tC consumer. The development which is certainly an interesting oYj, is on the increase. but whether l, for the largest number of people iI t'.o long run remains to be seen.

There are sections in Idaho where the weather is so clear and the air so dry during the season of ripening and following that some growers make d practice of allowing blackberries to remain on the vines and evaporate in the sun. When sufficiently dry the canes are cut, run through a sort of thrasher and the dried fruit cleaned and packed.

AZoturia. disease of the horse fam fly that yearly takes off thousands of valuable individuals. Is directly due to overlooking with nitrOgenous foods, like clover and alfalfa, and lack of reg ular exercise. The illness is brought on by an overlooking of the circulatory system with unoXidiZed nitrogen drawn from the liver. where it accumulates. While there are cures for the disease. 1t is easily prevented by reducing the nitrogenous ration-the feeding of tim othy and clean straw, instead of clover and alfalfa, and feeding light mixed ration of corn and oats. Another help for the horse which does not have reg ular work is the run of a paddock, where it will get exercise enough to keep in good condition.

The housewife who is on her feet so much of the day throughout all months of the year should learn d lesson from her husband. who not only rides when moving, raking, reaping and blowing. but even takes it easy by rigging q rid ing gear to follow his harrow. This idea she may put to good account by purchasing light fifty cent stool, two feet high, and having it handy to sit on when doing work at which she would otherwise have to stand. In the course of a long day good deal of en- ergy may be saved in this way.

In view of the fatal freeze of Oct. F and 13, it will be necessary to set an earlier date than Oct. 15 as the limit within which one should select his seed corn. If Sept. 20 were the time chosen and every corn grower went into his best field and secured the soundest and earliest maturing ears and had them hung up to dry by that time and saw to it that they were prop erly stored during the winter months. the seed corn problem would be re- duced to a minimum through all the northern part of the corn belt.

It would make the farmers of those states where the rainfall was very heavy during November and where the country roads were rendered well nigh impossible for weeks gasp if they could see figured out in dollars and cents the actual loss they sustained in the single item of increased expense in hauling their produce to market. In many localities it was impossible to stir at all while in others but q small jag could be moved, and four horses were often required to do this. It seems strange. with agricultural prod ucts representing so large value, that rural dwellerS take so slight an inter est in q question that in the aggregate means q loss of millions of dollars tc them annually.

As with a child, the time for doing most effective work in shaping the character and type of tree is at the start. For this reason it is better to purchase fruit trees that are a year old rather than two or three years The low head which is so highly prized by most orchardists, is best secured by cutting the young tree back to from eighteen inches to two feet the same season it is set. This induces the growth of sturdy lateral branches and gives the trunk q stocky character that is of great value ill succeeding years. Whether the tree should be given the vase shaped open top or the round and more close growing top will depend to a great extent upon the climatic conditions prevailing.

There came to the writer's attention the other day the instance of a cream cry patron who thought he would get rich more quickly by mixing melted tallOW in the can of cream from which the drivers sample was taken, thereby increasing the test of the cream nearly 100 per cent. This went on until the suspicious of the buttermakers and di- rectors were aroused by the presence of the cold. unmiXed tallow left in the strainer at the creamery. One day two quart sample of the doped cream was turned over to the state pure food inspector, who sent it to q chemist for analysis, when 90 per cent of the fat 1t contained was found ;o l.r plain beef suet, amounting to Eov' md four ounces.
