I North America is the great apple pro

quite as choice are produced in other
states, particularly Missouri, Oregon

An effectual remedy for potato blight
has been found In bordeaux mixture.
which consists Of four pounds of cop
per sulphate and five or six pounds of
fresh lime In sixty gallons Of water
This remedy is also effectual against
what is known as the early blight.
which attacks the early varieties, while
the late blight seldom appears before
the first OF August and does not at
tack the late kinds unless they are
planted late in the season. This mix
ture can be used In connection with
paris green or arsenate OF lead for the
potato beetle. The arsenIeal article Is
especially valuable. as II does not burn
the foliage and adheres so firmly that
1t Is not easily washed OF by rain.
When spraying with this In connection
with the bordeaux mixture, use two
pounds of the arsenate In fifty gallons.
and use when the beetles first appear.
This win prove very effective. though
If other beetles appear later Ia the
season 1t will be necessary to spray
again In order to protect the growth
made after the first application.

OUR FIRST TOMATO.

ton accorded the first tomato grown
| In the United States. for both belong
to the same family. solanaceae
| In reality the wonder berry IS simply
a hybrid but edible nightshade. The
crossing Of two species gave flavor
superior to either of the parents, and
when eaten raw the taste is much that

| not at all bitter when ripe, yet in its
greener stage 1t Is not 50 bitter as
green tomato. The only way in which
the two fruits cannot compare is in
the matter of size.
The story is told that good many
years ago man recently arrived from
the Bermuda islands was committed to
Pennsylvania Jail. He had with him
a few seeds. which he planted in the
Jail yard, but before the plants came
to maturity be was discharged. Ihe
plants bore strange fruit. which, as it
ripened changed from green to red
and was greatly admired.
The matron of the jail. sure that it
was poisonous. cautioned all the in
mates against eating the fruit. but as
she desired to save specimens Of il she
planted some OF the seeds the follow
ing spring, and just as the fruit was
well ripened the man from BerHudH

plant. He called for pepper, sail ana

Graham of the Kansas Agricultural
college states that after careful tests
made with warmed buildings. with
double wall houses having curtains be-
fore the perches and six feet away
next to the wire netting, he has found
that the one ply board houses with
netted fronts have given better results
both as TO the number of eggs pro-
duced In winter and the fertility and
vigor Of germs.
The open front house can be modi-
fed TO meet a wide range of climate.
In the northern states the house is
generally equipped with curtain

are dropped at night to insure a warm

board partitions between each pen.
One bird is allowed to every four
square feet Of space.
The roost is provided with a cloth
curtain, which Is dropped on very
cold nights. Two small holes with
sliding doors are used TO ventilate the

PROFESSOR p. @. HOLDEN.

Of the Rock Island road turned their
attention to the corn question. They
called Professor Holden into their
councils. 1t was at once manifest that
he was the ideal executive-the man
to do the work.
Accordingly Professor Holden plan
ned a campaign in Iowa with the as
sistance Of railroad managers. He
would take a special train and go out
on the railroads where he could meet
the farmers and show them that sci
ence only simplifies.
Professor Holden's plan was not to
go into plant breeding, but to confine
himself largely to insisting that the
farmers plant selected seed corn, seed
which had been tested In a simple de-
vice which could be made In any farm
workshop. Given this hint In lectures
and by the use Of charts, the Iowa ed
ucator believed the direct result would
be instantaneous, while the fairyland
Of science would he opened a little
way to the farmers, and they would

experimenting that by harnessing up
and using the forces OF heredity in
corn and other farm crops production
could be greatly increased and conse-
quently the profits Of farming become
greater, the land pay dividends" on u
higher valuation, because brains had
been mixed with muscle In meeting
the seasons.
The work Professor Holden proposed
to do was evangellstic, and when his
trains were started down the long
lines Of shimmerlng steel they became
known as 'seed corn gospel trains"
Some Of the figures Professor Holden
presented were startling, but they sent
large audiences of farmers away from
the meetings pledged never again to
select seed corn from a crib with
SCOOP shovel
