Forms Potash on Vegetables.

One of the most puzzling points in the use of fertilizers Is the effect of the various forms of potash. Some vegetables and fruits seem to thrive best in muriate of potash. Others give better yields when treated with sul- phate of potash Even the garden vegetables seem to have their prefer ence, according to recent tests at the Maine experiment station. Thus rhu- barb gives a much heavier yield with muriate of potash, while onions, caulf- flower and asparagus give heavier crops with sulphate. orchard fruits, as a rule, seem to prefer the sulphate.

THISTLES IN DRY COUNTRY
Extent to Which This Pest Prevails Is Positively Alarmine-Farmers
 Should Fight it.

The extent to which this pest pre- vails in dry areas is positively alarm ing. Where grain crops arc grown every year., the missiles come in and take possession of the crop in . dry year. The possession is so complete in many instances and the missiles grow so closely that they cannot make a rank growth. They not only smother the grain, but they crowd each other to such an extent that they cannot possibly make a strong growth. In some areas this is true of whole fields and of every field in which grain is grown in a dry year such as the present, says a writer in the Dakota Farmer. I speak not from hearsay, but from observation.
 What is to be done to meet the evil? Of course where every farm grows Russian thistles in an unfenced country, 1t will be impossible to keep any farm absolutely free from the thistles. It should be possible, how ever, to prevent them from doing great damage.
 The summer-fallow will remove them from the surface soil for the time being, providing the work Is thorough, but of course they may roll over the land and strew seed on 1t the follow ing autumn or winter.
 Land may be plowed immediately when the grain Is removed. This will prevent much seed from maturing that would otherwise mature, and it will prevent the plants from being carried elsewhere by the wind. The objection to this lies in the difficulty found in doing this work at such a time.
 Winter rye may be profitabiy grown on such land. Preparing the land for rye will be hard on the thistles. The following spring the rye may be har- rowed two or three times. This will be hard on the thistles and good for the rye. If winter wheat can be success fully grown, similar results may be made to follow.
 Growing a crop of corn and caring for 1t properly will go far toward cleaning a piece of land thus infested in a single season. Some of the seeds may live over until the spring, but the seeds of Russian thistles seldom live more than two years.
 Much may also be accomplished by narrowing spring grain. The grain may be narrowed two to four times with much profit to the grain and with great injury to the thistles. It Is not the purpose in this paper to discuss the exact methods of narrowing. This Is very effective way of destroying these plants. If all farmers were to fight the pest as outlined, it would cease to be seriously harmful.

LME STOCK NOTES.

Oats for the brood sows will pro duce better muscle for the pigs.
 Don't rush matters when loading fat hogs. A little haste may kill fat porker.
 Pneumonia kills many pigs before the herd gets used to sleeping in damp pens or drafts.
 The young boars that are to be de veloped for breeding purposes should be selected at an early age.
 For the breeding of mules select mares that have good sized, roomy bodies and short, strong limbs.
 Hang the windows so that the wind will shoot overhead when they are open, and not right on the COWS.
 There Is hardly any reasonable limit on the price a farmer can af- ford to pay for a good brood SOW.
 Frequent change to fresh pasture is one of the best ways to stimulate the growth of both the grass and the pigs.
 The dreaded gap between fall and spring pasturing has been successful ly spauned in this country by the silo.
 It Is a good plan to soak shelled corn for. the hogs and If 1t Is ground before 1t is soaked, so much the bet ter.
 It is generally advisable to study an environment of locality before se- Iectfag a particular breed of live stock.
 Give the young boar as many kinds of food as can reasonably be provided. but do not make sudden changes in his diet
 After the pigs have been put into the fattening pen in the fall they should be fed all that they will eat with a relish.
 If a little rape seed Is sprinkled in with the rye, variety of feed will be provided, and the hogs will do even better than upon rye alone.
 The special care of the young boars should commence at weaning time, when they should be separated from the gilts and other hogs placed in a yard away from the rest of the herd.

How Potash Affects Hay Crop.

In the use of potash as a fertilizer for grass the Maine experiment sta ton finds that the greater results are seen in the second cutting. The pol ash shows only a moderate effect in the first crop, but greatly increases the growth of clover, so that the sec ond cutting or aftermath is decidedly heavier than when no potash is used.
