GROW YOUR OWN HORSE RADIsH

Horse radish consists of one large
root from which springs the crown
and large number of smaller roots
These roots, small as lead pencil,
or larger, are cut off into lengths Of
from four to six inches and should
be placed in the ground with the
thick end up.
They should be placed about three
inches deep and the soil above them
pressed down firmly to prevent water
from reaching them before they start
to grow.
Make the soil loose and at least
a depth Of ten inches. Work into it.
plenty Of well-rooted manure. Set
horse radish in rows about three feet
apart and at intervals of about Is
inches.
Tt should be dug late in the fall
after other crops are off, the small
root tops removed and stood in sand
in the cellar or buried in pits in the
ground until wanted for use.

FARM NOTES.
The Care of the Horse.

The horse can be made to masticate
his food by putting finely cut hay with
the grain. A ration Of half prairie
grass hay and half alfalfa will give
almost as good gains as ration of
alfalfa alone.
We favor keeping colts in the stall
rather than permit them to follow the
mare, for, everything considered it
works to their advantage A colt is
much more subject TO accident while
following the mare and is harmed by
becoming fatigued in it's attempt to
keep up With the pace of the mother.
Besides they do no little damage in
tramping down growing crops. When
kept in the stall they soon become
contented, especially if with mates,
and soon learn to nibble oats and
bran which may be kept within reach.
A hoof hook should be included
among the equipment of we'll regu-
lated stable. The feet of the horse
should be cleaned every morning be-
fore he leaves the stable The hoof
hook will remove all litter, pebbles,
or anything that may have become
lodged in the foot This precaution
may prevent injury to the sole or SEN
sitive structures Of the foot. IF the
feet become very dry, pack them daily
for a week with some form of clay.
Then apply lard to the wall to which
may be added pine tar and rosin.
This ointment holds the moisture in
the feet and prevents further evap-
OratiOn.-C. L. BARNES.

farm on which any pretention toward

Sh uld the land be treated to fer

cowpeas figure. For mill6t, TAO
goods, that is, mixture of 875 lbs.
16 per cent acid phosphate 500 lbs,
nitrate of soda and $50 lbs. muriate
Of potash: 400 lbs. per acre.
In seeding I would use one and

one peck OF German millet with one

PAINTING FARM MACHINERY.

Iron or steel surfaces should be
carefully cleaned, by means of steel
wire brush and emery paper, to in
sure the removal of all rust before
painting.
Paint generally should be applied
with a good round brush, and we'll
rubbed out. The rubbing out serves
to remove any bubbles of air, also the
film of air found on all surfaces; and
it insures thorough incorporation
of the paint with the surface, thus
affording letter protection. The rust
ing Of farm machinery is no doubt
largely due to the fact that it is
painted" by the dipping process. Air
bubbles causing openings in the paint
film, moisture enters and rusting be-
gins; also, the paint not being ce-
mented to the surface by being well
brushed out, is easily removed me-
chanically.

Early cabbage is practically all
consumed as a green vegetable; the
late crop, on the other hand, is
handled as a fresh vegetable, as a

conditions is always on the market,

literally Why not? Is it not now rec
ognized on every hand that it. is
almost criminal folly to attempt to
grow any crop without a liberal
supply Of fertilizer rich in the food
the plants require?
In order to successfully farm,
there is no more important lesson to
learn and religiously observe, year
in and year out, than that which
shows the absolute indispensabi1ity
of an intelligent use of high grade
fertilizer.
A mistake is frequently made in
purchasing as we'll as in mixing fer
tilizer material This comes of
lack of knowledge Of, or an utter dis
regard for, the established fact that
the wants Of plants as to food differ
as they themselves do in the matter
Of variety.
One cannot make a crop of choice
tomatoes with plant food adapted to
snap-beans, or cabbage with plant
food adapted to cantaloupes.
It is as important to accept these
facts as it is to live uR~to that other
potent fact that, if in applying fer
tiliZer to crops, one soWs sparingly
he will reap also sparingly.

L, IL
mention an interesting case: In
1910 a farmer and fertilizer sales
man in Pennsylvania determined to
test for himself the principle of high
feeding with high class rations. The
Pennsylvania average in Irish potato
production per acre was SO bushels.
The farmer in question had 2 13
acres which he carefully prepared.
He put down 1000 pounds Of high
grade fertilizer adapted to Irish po-
tatOes- 6-4-9 goods-and planted
the seed. When the plants attain
ed a height of four inches, he applied
1000 pounds more of the fertilizer.
Result: $50 bushels of marketable
tubers-an average per acre of 800
bushels.

1f1ization and for the wise policy of
feeding the plants while they are
growing.
Call it what you please; "Conserv-
ing soil MOISTURE, preventing evap-
Grafton" or supplying "dust
mulch, the important fact is that
too few of us pay any attention to
conditions. We forget that the
thing to do, as soon as signs of
drought appear, is to begin to break
the crust between the rows of all
cultivable crops with adjustable har-
row or cultivator not deeper than two
inches. This should be done thrice
week till rain comes. In this man
ner, evaporating is prevented, and
the crops grow apace.

Thirty-eight men were arraigned be-

descriptions and had kept Chief

contractors regarding men collecting
near jobs and wanted the practice
