CAPTAIN BINGHAM
 NOW SOLE OWNER

Although her engine room is silent and her listless wheel caught in the icy grasp of voiceless waters, the steamer Lois, now hibernating in the classic environs of Dikeman, carries the spirit of potential possi bilities and was but a few short days agone the subject of prate and barley i'll the rnarts of trade.
 In other words, Capt. Bingham, navigator and associate owner of the good ship during the past sea- son has purchased her outright, lock, stock and barrel and is even now drawing up the plans for an other seasons prosperity, He bought out John Cameron, thus acquiring the complete ownership, the deal being perfected last week.
 The Lois, as everybody krows, is one of the successful craft of Dikeman, Iditarod navigation and was largely responsible for the land ing of the late season tonnage at this city She will doubtless be used here again next year, but if Capt. Bingham has anything up his sleeve he is not saying anything about it as yet. He went down to Dikeman, navigating the nigger- heads and poking long gun into ferny cctses where rabbits live.

Modern Methods That Are Helpful to
Farmer, Fruit Grower and Stockman.

An English eEperimenter finds that
while all objects have the tempera-
ture of the surrounding air on cloudy
nights, rapid radiation may produce
difference on clear nights, and a
piece Of cotton proved to be at times
six or even eight degrees colder than
the air. Plants may be similarly
chilled below freezing with the cir
above"
A few years ago the writer was on
fishing trip in Vermont, and two
nights in succession his bathing suit
was frozen stiff on the line, while the
vegetation was uninjured. They
were bright moonlight nights. Had
the weather been cloudy, it is doubt
full If this would have happened.
1t is advisable, therefore, for fruit
growers, who spray in the winter
time, to watch their thermometers

Irish POtafo Scob

II the soil becomes infected with
potato scab, rotation of crops will
help, but potatoes should not be
planted in the same soil again for
several years.
Where diseased potatoes are used
for seed, they should be treated by
soaking them for a period of two
hours In a solution made by using
one-half pint (one-half pound) of for
malin to fifteen gallons of water.
They may be put in a sack and let
down into the barrel containing the
solution, and after the two hours
have passed. take out and place on
the floor TO dry.
Corrosive sublimate may be used
at the rate OF two and a quarter
ounces to fifteen gallons of water,
and the seed should be soaked for
about one hour in this solution. This
solution is very poisonous, however,
and we are rather inclined to recon-
mend tho formalin in preference. be-

Orchard Fruits in the Blue Ridge

Orchard Fruits in the Blue Ridge.
Virginia, and in fact most of the
States along the Blue Ridge Noun
tains have, of recent years, taken
wonderful strides in fruit growing.
Fruit growing in these regions, how
ever, is only slightly developed in
comparison with the possibilities
which exist in this direction. The
methods of orchard management are
commonly faulty and not productive
OF the best results which the natural
advantages make possible. Notwith-
standing these conditions, large
quantities Of excellent fruit, but prin-
cipally apples, are grown in some por-
tions of these regions.
Realizing the problem that many
orchardists will find confronting
them, the Department of Agriculture
has published a bulletin entitled
Orchard Fruits in the Piedmont and
Blue Ridge Regions of Virginia and
the South Atlantic States" and while
the information supplied therein will
doubtless prove of value to prospec-
tive planters of orchards, who al
ready reside in these regions, it is
expected that its greatest usefulness
will be to those who are unfamiliar
with the conditions, but who may be
attracted to these sections by the op-
portunities which they offer for fruit
growing. The hints are also applica-
BILE to other sections made up of hill
and valley and where soil and other
natural conditions may be similar.
There appears to be no doubt but
that the success of fruit growing in
the Blue Ridge Mountains is due in
great part to the fact that the
orchards are planted on the sheltered
side Of the numerous knobs, which
dot the chain from end to end, and
thus in a measure protect the trees
from winter killing or hold back the
buds until all danger of spring frosts
has passed.-G. E. M, N the Indiana
Farmer.

Feeding With Cottonseed.

The following is received from the
Oklahoma Experiment Station, but it
will be seen that 1t Is largely of appli-
cation wherever cottonseed is used
for feed:
In no kind of stock feeding do
careful and accurate methods of deal
ing out the feed pay better than with
mitch cows. Scales or measures
should be used in determining the
amounts to be fed, and not mere
guessing followed. AS many farmers
do not have scales, the weights of
some common feeds are given per
half-bushel and per quart in the fol-
lowing table, in order that the proper
amounts OF these feeds may be used
with some accuracy:

Don't Spray in Too Cold Weather.

AS the effect of climatic conditions
on spraying in general is so little
understood, and as great many
fruit growers try to spray in the win.
ter months when the work is slack
word Of caution at this time will not
be out Of place.
Spraying for scale may be done any
time after the leaves drop in the fall
until they begin to open in the
spring, providing the weather is not
too cold and the material can dry on
the trees before freezing. Many peo-
ple, however, suppose this can be
done when water on the ground does
not freeze. This is a mistake, for
rapid radiation on a clear day may
force the temperature of the woolly
fruit-bud down six or eight degrees
below freezing point; SO it is really
unsafe to spray fruit trees, especially
peach, when the temperature Is 40
degrees Fahrenheit, no matter what
the material used may be. I believe
that in every instance where I have
Investigated fruit-bud injury 1t has

Half

An ordinary forkful of prairie hay
that the feeder would take up when
feeding will weigh about h., and
when pushed into the common feed
rack will comfortably fill it. A cured
bundle of kaffir stover, the size that
the machine binds, will weigh about
lb. The same sized bundle Of corn
stover will weigh about lb. If the
COW is given the right kind of grain,
little more is necessary in feeding the
roughage than to give her all she
will eat, taking care that 1t is not so
fed that she can waste it.
The following rations are given as
guides for the feeder, and by alter
ing them slightly to fit his individual
case and conditions the results OBJ
tanned by them will prove the most
economical. They have been figured
with the idea of utilizing cottonseed
and cottonseed meal as much as pos
sible. The amounts given are for
one days and for the average sized
dairy COW that weighs about 1000 lb.
For n larger or a smaller cow than
this the feed should be raised or low
cred accordingly. For all practical
purposes gallon of milk may be con-
s:de-ed to weigh s lb., although it is
a fraction of pound more than this.
