care and even then the results are
not always satisfactory.
Still another advantage of rearing
spring colts is the fact that weaving

urally going dry.
Horses, like other domestic ami
mails, are highly artificial products.
However, the greatest success is at
tanned by raising them as nearly as
possible in their natural state. Plenty
of green grass, sunshine, exercise ano
the added milk production of the mare
are the principal reasons why spring
foals are best.
On the other hand, many farmers
who advocate breeding for fall colts
claim that they can get better service
out Of their mares during the spring
work. On my own farm have never
been able to see much in this claim.
Grain harvesting are fully as hard
work as blowing and cultivating. Any
fair-minded man will agree that haul

QUESTION OF DEEP
FLOWING DISCUSSED
Some Very Striking Increases in
Production Have Been Sc
cured by Method.

(By e. J. KINNEY. Kentucky Expert
ment Station.)
During the last few years some very
striking increases in production have
been secured by blowing very deep
ly. On the strength Of this a number
of authorities are advocating deep
blowing for the south. They advise
from eight to as much as sixteen
inches deep. 1t seems somewhat dan
gerous to the orthodox man to give
such general advice as this until we
have more experimental data to con-
firm it's value. 1t is undoubtedly true
that much deeper blowing than is
now practiced in most sections of the
south is desirable.
No cultivated crop can make its
best growth in a seed bed less than
seven inches deep. Where soils are
so thin that blowing to this depth
will bring up large quantity Of raw
subsoil the depth should be attained
by blowing a little deeper each time
instead of taking the full depth all at
once, In this way the suhsoil will
have a chance to become weathered

PREVENT DISEASES
OF GARDEN CROPS
Foundation of Success Next Year
will Depend Upon Pure Seed
and Good Soil.

(By E. C. sTAKMAN. Assistant in Path
ology, Minnesota College Of Agricul-
ture)
If the soil is made sanitary by dis
ease control, large annual loss in
garden crops will be avoided when
the seed Is gathered from last years
crop is planted in the spring 1t may
be laid down as principle that the
foundation of success next year will
depend upon the care which is given
to keep the seed free from disease
and to prevent the soil from becoming
unsanitary.
One vegetable which is directly con
cerned is the potato. The tubers of
the potato plant may be troubled with
a number of diseases. In Minnesota,
the potato scab and the internal
brown. rot must be contended with.
Both diseases live in the soil and
tubers, and it is necessary that the
soil be free from The disease if next
years crop is to be large one. II
diseased seed or soil be used wear
after year, the yield of the sound ~
tatoes becomes smaller and smaller.
Other common crops which are af-
fected with disease in Minnesota are
the bean, cabbage, onion and beet
Many Of the diseases are 50 serious
as to endanger the production of pay
ing crops. Some of the seed may be
diseased, and yet show no trace of
disease. Bean anthracnose, bean bac-
terivGis and black rot of cabbage are
among the diseases.
To prevent disease from ootaining
a hold, spraying should be done wher
ever possible If the soil is diseased
rotation of crops must be resorted to-,
Only by such attention can perma-
nent success be assured

There are many reasons why the
practice of breeding the farm mares
for fall colts should prove advantage
Gus; however very few farmers have
made it a success.
To be sure a mare can rear her foal
very nicely during the winter and II
she fails to get with foal in the spring
there Is no good reason why she
should be allowed to miss the whole
year, but as general thing the spring
colts pay best.
Spring is the natural season for
mares to bring forth their young.
This is not the most important reason,
but we all know that grass is the best
food for young foals. that is, of course
when properly supplemented with
grain.

VIZ ASHINGTON.-Fore govern
w ments have had their military
and naval representatives in Wash
ington watching the experiments that
this government has been conducting
at the Washington navy yard with
the new caAapult device for launching
aeroplanes. The launching machine
is the design of Capt. w. /. Cham
bers, in charge of aviation in the
navy. 1t practically is a compressed
air gun that shoots the aeroplane into
the air so that 1t can be launched
from warship at any time and the
catapult then stored below. out of the
way.
Several tests of the device have
been made, various hydro-aeroplanes
being used. What was generally con-
sidered the supreme test was made
the other day when the new aero.
boat that has been built for the navy
by Glenn Curtiss was shot into the
air for successful flight with Lieut..
Theodore Ellyson, the first of the
navy aviators, at the helm.
Aue new Dodt Is larger anu heavier
than any other hydro-aeroplane the
government has used. It has a body
like a light, fast powerboat, and seats
two passengers side by side, with a
double-control mechanism, so that
either man can act as aviator. The
boat Is driven by an eighty horse
power motor, and is capable Of 9
speed Of fifty miles on the water and
sixty miles in the air.
This launching device Is the first
that has been practical and successful
from q navy standpoint. It was prov
