ICE IN JUNE AND AUGUST CHILL THE
 FARMERS PROSPECTS

(written Specially for The BuIletin.) )
 When I woke up. Saturday morning, Aug. S1, roofs. board piles. foliage, were all covered with sparkling white frost.
 When I went out to the pump in the lane to water. the horses, found the pail of water which l always leave full for ''priming" purposes covered with a thin mask of ice.
 When let the sheep out of their fold into the pasture. saw that the winter squashes beside the lane were black and dead, and that the buck wheat patch was also blackened.
 Business took me away immediate ly after breakfast, and had no time to look over my gardens. Of course they must be ruined. That was the thought which followed me all that forenoon. It seemed inevitable that a degree of cold which actually froze ice on a pailful of water should fail to finish up such tender garden plaHts as beans and peppers and tomatoes to say nothing of Tripping" corn.

Whenever I think I've got hand that can't be beat--both bowers, the joker and two aces, say-Old Lady Nature calmly euchres me and sets me scratching my head to see how on earth she did 1t. Then again, when I hold nothing better than collection of nine-spots, she sometimes lets me take three or four tricks.

Eve been reading lately about few big headed farmers who bluntly assert that they don't have any more crop failures: that they can always raise good crops, any season, beause, for sooth, they farm inteuigently, not to say scientifically.
 Do you know wish one of them had been in charge of that cornfield of the old gentleman's, that time half a century ago. when a winter night jumped out of January into July and froze a whole township stiff
 Of course he might have saved the crop by buying about a hundred dol lars worth of fire-pots and half car load of petroleum and hiring two or three dozen stokers to keep the fires burning. But it would be dunn poor farming to spend S250 to save a $50 crop, now wouldn't it?

In spite of it all, some of my garden crops have done really well. For in- stance, my asparagus was exceedingly good in both yield and quality: my onions were never better: my sweet corn most of it grown on land which has been in corn for nine consecutive years. Is fifty per cent. better than last year; late potatoes are at least an average crop. And I never had so promising an acre of cabbages in my life. On the other hand spinach, green peas, squashes, tomatoes, beans and early potatoes were practical failures. I used to think that I knew better how to raise peas and toma- toes than any other crops. Yet all my experience and skill have amount ed to nothing with both crops, this year. They have been commercial failures. The two crops which have always felt most doubtful about. corn and cabbage, are really the best I've got.

The very freakishness and whim- sicality of our invisible opponents is perhaps one of the things that makes bucking at them so fascinating. If things always turned out just as we expected them to the day before, farming and gardening might be somewhat more profitable, pecuniari- ly. But there'd be good deal less excitement in em-and a lot less fun!

row of Summer squashes-crookneck Every hill was black as a eoal-heav- CTS hat, and the big leaves dropped wiltedly around their stems. But, when reached the Limas, it took care ful search to disclose a single evidence of frost-injury. I did find ia few leaves on runners which had blown loose from the poles and were sticking out into the air, which had frosted tips. But have seen vines of the same va riety in the same place other years, killed beyond hope by mere white frost, insuffiient to produce ice.
 As l progressed over the garden similar evidences of the freakish ac- tion of the frost met me at every turn. Squash-vines everywhere I found dead: cucumber vines badly hurt. But two patches of musllmelons widely separated, were both unrouch- ed. In previous years I have found cucumberS usually a degree hardier than melons: this time the reverse. The nip" was so severe that a few cattle-beet tops, commonly re garded as perfectly safe against any ordinary cold, were frozen. But I didn't find a single tomato plant out of eight hun dred showing any serious damage. And those tomatoes are on lower level than the beets or the squashes. close to a little brook on the other side of which is swampy field.
 Thus far, I haven't seen single trace of injury on two acres of Sweet corn in three separate patches.
 One of my neishbers, foreseeing the

My old father used to tell of an ad- venture he had with Jack Frost way back in the 1S50's. He had fin- ished hoeing his field corn the second time when, one night in July, a cold wave swooped down and killed all the corn in town with the exception of one hill in the middle of his field. That solitary hill, standing some three feet high and ready to tassel out, wasn't even nipped. He plowed up the field and put it into buckwheat, but saved that one hill, and from it ever knew, the only corn which ripen- got five ears of corn, so far as he ed in the town that season.

might produce.
 And right in that last corn field was presented a fresh illustration of frost caprice. The portion which was killed lay along the western edge of the plat, and next to a meadow of tall oat grass, which stood an average of four feet high and very thick. None of the corn was six inches out of the ground. As what wind there was had been from the northwest, one might have expected this wind break of grass to protect the corn growing be- side it. On the contrary every hill in the two rows next the grass was killed, while damage grew less with every row remoter from 1t. The neighborhood of the grass seemed to have drawn the frost. Curiously enough, plat of early potatoes, two acres away, showed similar effects. While the corn was bounded on the west by tall grass, the potatoes had on the north a twenty-foot wide head land of bunkum timothy backed by a stone-wall fence. And every potato top within ten feet of this grass was frozen off to the ground, while the rows farther away were less injured. Again, the propinquity of the high grass seemed to produce intenser cold. Have any of you farmers noticed this sort of a thing in your exper- fence?
 Some years ago similar case oc- cured in a patch of narrow beans. On one side of them, and only three feet distant from the last row, was a piece of green peas with vines pushed up at least three feet high. A late frost killed every bean-plant in the row next the peas; about half of those in the second row, and left the re- mainder of the beans practically un- hurt.
Norwich bulletin., 1912-09-07

This hasn't been my first experience with the queer actions of Jack Frost. Last June there was similarly mys- terious behaviour on his part. He froze ice as thick as window glass on water in pails and tubs, June 14th. We had expected him that time. and had covered the newly set tomatoes and peppers. But of course, we couldn't cover five acres of general garden stuff. Ten rows of extra early sweet corn, which had been hood, were frozen off, Four rows beside them, which had not been hood, weren't hurt at all. Whereupon I re- member the saying of the old farmers that even if frost GU t off corn sprouts, the seed would send up fresh ones, if only the ground hadn't been stirred about the hills. But, when came to. examine my patch of late sweet-corn, which hadn't been hoed at all hadn'tbeen touched since planting, To and behold, about quarter of it was killed, killed so dead that not a chit ever started again. I waited two

Ever since. I've been puzzIing my poor wits after reason for this curi-l aus freakishness of frost. At first was inclined to suspect that the rel alive maturity of the plants had some thing to do with it. Might it not be that plants whih had attained their full growth were sturdier and harder than those still pushing out tender new growths? But a moments re- fiection showed me that such evidence as I had before me didn't bear out that idea The summer squashes were certainly at full maturity-have been bearing the last six weeks: They were killed, while a lot of muskmelon vines just beside them and which are less mature than any melon vines I ever saw at this sea- son, were unharmed.
 Then l twisted the proposition 'tother end to. Perhaps it might be that maturer plants, having expended much of their energy in production, were less able to resist extreme cold than those younger and of hustler veg etable vigor. But no: this couldn't be SO: for the winter squashes and buck wheat, both of which are very imma- ture, were killed, while tomato and pepper plants which have been picked and picked over and over again, and are manifestly past maturity were url- scathed.

On my return at noon, and after I had fortified myself with a good din- ner. took my courage in both hands and sailed out to see if 1t might be possible to save anything from the wreck. First I went to the pepper bed. Judge of my surprise when l found that not a single plant was killed, nor was there even the wilted leaf-tip to mark where Jack F'rost's toes had tcuhed on more than dozen plants. Whereupon started for the Lima beans. On my way passed long

Take it altogether, this certainly has mediate vicinity we had spring of constant rainfall, which kept the ground so wet and cold that many acres of corn and potatoes failed to come up at all. The seed routed in the sodden soil rather than germinate. This season of drench was followed by six weeks of baking drouth, in which the shallow rooted plants which had managed to come up had to struggle hard for water enough to live, with out any to spare on growth.
 And we've had a frost every month in the year, so far: ice in both June and August, and white hoar frost in July.
