Where is the person who does not
love the peony? 1t is the lovliest
flower of the late spring season and
vies with the rose in beauty and fra
GRANGE. Indeed, this flower is more.
gorgeous than the rose and its fra
GRANGE is even sweeter 1t is the
flower for everybody since it will
respond with many charming blooms
under the greatest neglect, but like
any other cultivated plant, the bet
ter the care that is given 1t the more
magnificently will it bloom. Peonies
are the favorite flower of the old
fashioned garden, and have come In
for a share of even greater popular
ity than they enjoyed in the days of
our grandmothers. New varieties
have been developed which possess
charm not found in those of earlier
days. and their easy culture and en-
durance of most unfavorable soils
have brought them into popular ia
vor. These things and the excellence
of peony blooms as cut flowers have
placed this noble plant in an envia-
BILE position in public esteem.
The peony and its companion, the
IT'S, are among the DeSI OF 1aTQy
Towering plants for the adornment of
the farm and home surroundings.
They are hardy. They Will withstand
the most severe winters. Dry wealth
er will not hurt them, and they will
thrive in sod. Good care, of course,
will enable the plants to produce more
luxuriant flowers, but in most farm
homes there is but little time avail
able for taking care of flowers, and
1t is because of this that the luxu-
rant and riotous peony is most use
full. This is peony planting season.
Late summer is just the time to
transplant peonies, and good strong
yearling plants which are set during
the latter part of August to early
October will produce few blooms
next year and increasing quantities
in the years that follow. At this time
of the year the growth of the peony
has stopped, but 1t will begin again
with the approach of fall and the
coming of the good autumn rains.
Throughout the warmer periods of
autumn it extends its root growth and
enlarges the plump buds, the pink tips
of which will push their way through
the mellow soil upon the advent of
spring. Because of this early dor
mant period for the peony planters
find it convenient to take advantage
of it and do their planting at that

small quantities, retards the growth
of the fungus, and when sufficiently
strong will destroy the spores. A
rate of three pints of formaldehyde
or formalin per 1000 cubic feet should
be used, in the proportion of one pint
of formalin 10 one-haf pound ~of
potassium permanganate. An ap-
paratus suitable for use in fumigation
is fully described and illustrated In
bulletin No. III of the bureau of plant
industry which growers may have
free on application.
Fumigation will control the disease
in the houses but will not keep them
free, since bringing infected material
tools, etc, into the houses will GER
tainly start the disease anew; there
fore every precaution should be taken
to prevent the reinfection- of the
houses after they have been fumi-
gated.
Coal oil has no effect upon the
spores of the parasite.
Diseased material should be re-
moved from the houses Immediately
and treated with a disinfectant, pref
erably solution of one gallon OF
formalin to about forty-five gallons OF
water This disinfectant should be
used to spray all places where dis
eased material has been. Tools and
conveyances should also be treated.
Although the disease is highly in
fictitious, it is only recently that grow
ers have appreciated that it has been
responsible for such extensive losses
The successful cultivation of mush-
rooms needs such peculiar knowledge
and special conditions that losses
have often been attributed to other
factors besides the disease. An I'M
suitable degree of humidity, imperfect
ventilation, improper preparation OF
the bed, and the presence of insects
may ruin a mushroom crop, but such
unfavorable conditions have often
been blamed when it was the fungus
disease that caused the greatest loss

drain, as well as a drain for an out
side pump or faucet.
Made in narrow sizes, they could
be used for making receptacles in
which to sprout seeds, merely plac-
ing pane of glass over the top.
They would be convenient to use
around the poultry house, for exam
pie, for hens nests, for they coulC
be easily disinfected by subjecting
them to fire. If the boxes we're OF
fairly good size and nails were in
serted in the concrete along the up
per edge before the material set, the
box could be turned on Its side and
wire netting attached to the nails,
thus making it serve as small coop.
Concrete boxes could also be used for
snrouting oats, thus giving green
fold for chickens in the winter sea-
son. 1t would merely be necessary
to put the boxes in a warm cellar,
spread over the bottom two or three
inches of oats and sprout the latter
by adding a sufficient quantity of
water, as is done with wooden boxes.
Such reeeptacles would make ex-
cellent refuse boxes and il quite large
would be very convenient for small
storage purposes, indoors or out.
Transferred to the barn, they would
prove to be convenient for the mix
ing of feed, especially where water
is used, as concrete improves in
strength when subjected to moisture
1t would not be a difficult matter
to establish them in the horse or cow
stalls for managers or small watering
troughs
In using old boxes in the manner
described 1t must be understood that
the chief object in view is to do the
work as cheaply as possible. In a
majority of cases, unless the boxes
were perfectly smooth and oiled or
soaped before the concrete is put in,
it would be necessary to destroy them
in removing them from the concrete.
If the builder cares to go into more
expensive forms, such as can be used
over and over again, the same struc-
tural methods would be used in the
case of well-made forms provided
with hinges and locking devices to
facilitate their removal and repeated
use.
satisfactory mixture for work OF
this kind would be a concrete conn
posed of one part Portland cement,
two parts sand and four parts stone
and gravel. When placed in the
forms 1t should be thoroughly tamped
and worked from side to side with
fat paddle. This will bring the
richer mortar to the sides of the form.
making a smoother surface than
would otherwise result. The concrete
should be of a sloppy Wet con-
sistency. 1t should be protected from
the hot sun and wind and kept in the
forms several days. after which II
should be sprlnkled twice a day, or, IL
the object is small, immersed in water
for the period of week.
The purpose in using concrete 10
to have an everlasting and decay
proof material which may be en-
ployed for indefinite purposes.

GRANGE of the blooms that will be
produced.
A hole two feet deep and wide,
filled with the best well-rotted ma
nure, is none too big or good for
peonies. Fresh manure about the
roots should be avoided. The roots,
which in many respects look about
like rhubarb roots, are planted IN
about the same way. When an OLD
clump Is divided, II will have from
three to several large fleshY Aroots,
each with a large plump bud at the
upper end The clump may be divid-
ed into single roots. Such plants,
however, seldom bloom the first year
and in case they should bloom. 1t is
better to remove the flower and per-
nit the plant to expend all of it's
energy in developing strong root
system for the following years.
Nothing is more important in, the
culture of peonies than getting them
properly planted. The roots should
be set at just the right depth in the
ground and this is accomplished
when the buds or eyes are two or
three inches below the surface DO
not think 1t will do just as well to
set them higher than this and then
add a little more earth and mound
| it up over the crown, or this little
extra heap will soon wash away and
leave the crown of the plant ex-
posed, after which no fine bloom can
be expected If set too deeply the
plants will take longer than usual to
establish themselves.
"Peonies are fussy about being
moved. After moving they take two
years at least before they begin to
bloom at all we'll, and the finest
blooms cannot be counted on before
the third year after settling and,
with some varieties, even the fourth
or fifth year. Hence it is not of
great advantage to buy large clumps,
unless for the purpose of propaga-
ton. Buy what are called one-year
! or two-year plants and by the time
they have been in the ground long
/, enough to bear fine blooms they will
have grown into quite good-sized
clumps."
AS a companion for the peony, there
are few flowers more beautiful than
| the stately iris. These, like the
J peony, are scented with the most
delicate perfume, and the wonderful
colors that are to be found in the
petals cause perpetual admiration.
This is planting time for peonies
and iris. They are the flowers for
everybody; they will thrive in almost
any situation, and there is no home
so poor or one SO rich that it should
| not have its peony.

HOW TO CALCULATE COST
OF THE HOMEMADE SILO

ed. Slave silos, however, are tempo
rary structures, since they last only
from five to fifteen years.
The modified Wisconsin silo is more
substantial than the stave silo, that
is, 1t is not SO liable to be blown
down or to get out of repair through
drying. In case some parts of the
walls rot out they can be more cas-
lily repaired than those of stave silo.
Carpenters as a rule take hold of
the work of construction more read
lily.
There are two serious objections
to the modified Wisconsin silo. One
is that a silo less than fourteen feet
in diameter is very hard to build,
owing to the difficulty in bending the
sheathing. Another is the unfinished
appearance of the structure.
Cost of Silos.
Recent data on the cost of home
made silos collected-by the dairy d.
vision from all parts of the country
show the following relative cost of
the three types:
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-08-22

Methods of calculating the proper
size and cost of silos are given in a
recently issued Farmers Bulletin
(No. $500, Homemade Silos." The
bulletin, which may be had free on
application to the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, consists of 47 pages,
with 81 figures and diagrams, and
gives explicit directions for the home
construction of concrete, stave and
modified Wisconsin silos.
The concrete silo, says the bulle-
tin. has the advantage of the other
two in permanency and stability.
A well-constructed concrete silo
ILL last indefinitely; there Is
no danger of its blowing or
burning down, rotting out, or being
attacked by vermin. Little attention
is required to keep the structure in
good condition. The chief objection
to the concrete silo is the cost.
The stave or tub silo has become
very popular in late years because
of the cheapness, ease, and quick
ness with which it may be construct

beetles, in which condition they re-
main in the soil until the next spring
Q917).
The beetles lay their eggs in land
covered with vegetation at the time
of their flights (May and June), con-
sequently land in small grain, tim
othy and such crops which cover the
ground, as well as land overgrown
with weeds at that time, are most
likely to be infested the following
year. 1t is also noticeable that ground
nearest timber will be heaviest in
tested, other conditions being equal
since the parent beetles feed on tree
foliage and do not fly great distances
If they can find suitable places to lay
their eggs nearby.
Fields likely to be infested with
grubs should be thoroughly plowed
between September 10 and October 10.
The date OF blowing will depend on
latitude and the weather conditions,
for the grubs go down as cold
weather approaches, and it is desir-
able to plow the fields just before they
go down when possible If the grubs
are abundant, hogs should be allowed
to run in the field wherever this can
be done, and chickens and turkeys are
also valuable aids If allowed the run
Of newly plowed ground If 1t is inn
practicable to make use of hogs to
rid the infested fields of grubs, a deep
and thorough lisking should follow
| the blowing, and in 1915 only crops
least susceptible to injury, such as
small grains, buckwheat,, clover, vetch
ETC., should be planted, and by NO
means should susceptible crops, such
as corn, timothy and potatoes, be
planted. While fall blowing should be
practiced and is of great value for de-
stroying grubs, nevertheless 1t cannot
be depended upon solely to eradicate
grubs. Corn fields, which are kept
cultivated and free from an under
| growth of weeds in May and June OF
| 1914 may, with reasonable safety, be
| planted to corn OF potatoes in 1916
although 1t Is advisable to inspect the
field first fer grubs. While it is moi

FIGHT A DISEASE
OF MUSHROOMS
Blight That Is Injuring Culti-
waited Varieties May Be
Controlled.
'FoRMALDRHYDE is USED

A fungous disease of cultivated
mushrooms has reduced the yield in
certain houses from 10000 pounds 10
tensive mushroom plants in the
eastern part of Pennsylvania which
supply the eastern markets have
been threatened In one section there
are more than $50 establishments
whose collective product exceeds one
million pounds of mushrooms annual
ly The same blight, which is known
as the "Mycogone disease" is re-
ported to have caused annual losses
OF about 100000 to mushroom grow
ers of Paris. An effective method for
the control of this blight has been
evolved in the United States, and all
mushroom growers will be interested
in its exposition in a new bulletin OF
the United States Department of
Agriculture, entitled, The Mycogone
Disease of Mushrooms and It's Con-
troll" shortly to be issued
The common form of the disease in
this country as well as in France
consists of white velvety coating
that covers the mushroom. The nor.
NAL development of the gills is pre-
vented and as the disease progresses
the color darkens and the tissue de-
Gays. The cap of the mushroom is
frequently distorted and arrested in
development by the fungus.
The new bulletin gives the follow
ing advice to mushroom growers for
the prevention and control of the
disease:
Diseased houses should not be used
for the cultivation of mushrooms un-
til at least three years have elapsed
after the house has been abandoned

PLAGUE OF GRUBS
IS ON THE WAY
Aftermath of June Bug Pest
Will Be Felt by Farmers
Next Year.
PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE NOW

The destructive May beetles, or So
called June bugs, as was previously
predicted by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, were extremely abundant
the past spring in parts of New Jer-
sey, northeastern Iowa, southern Wis
consin, northern Illinois, parts of
Minnesota, the southern part of Mich
igan and northern Ohio; also in north
eastern Pennsylvania, southeastern
New York and parts of Connecticut.
This is Indicative of a great album
dance of white grubs in 1915, and,
judging from the greater abundance
of beetles in most of these sections
this spring than three years ago, the
grub injury will be even greater than
in 1912, when 1t caused many millions
of dollars damage. 1t Is of greatest
Importance, the departments special
lists say, that farmers properly handle
their fields this fall and next spring
to prevent a repetition of the enor-
nous losses occasioned In 1912. In
Jury can be reduced to a minimum
by adopting the following practices:
In the sections above mentioned the
important economic species have a
three year life cycle, that Is, beetles
appearing in the spring OF 1914 de-
posit eggs which hatch about a month
after being laid. The young grubs
feed on roots and decaying matter,
but seldom do damage during their
first year. However, the following
year Q915 in the case of the destruc-
tive brood under discussion) they are
larger and feed almost entirely on
living roots, preferably corn, timothy,
potatoes, Strawberries, etc, causing
great loss when abundant. The fol-
lowing spring 1916) they feed more
or less, but by June /, or shortly
thereafter, they make earthen cells

night or longer change to brown
pupae, and month later to- adult

The accompanying drawing is de-
signed to represent two store boxes,
one smaller than the other. The
wooden strips nailed across the top
of the inside or smaller box keep 1t
suspended q few inches above the
bottom of the larger box. These two
boxes are forms for certain simple
things to be made in concrete. The
smaller box is suspended in the man
ner described, in order that 1t may
not sink into the fresh concrete when
the bottom layer is put into the
larger box. After this first or bottom
layer OF concrete is placed, the space
between the sides and ends of the
two boxes Is filled with concrete, and
the result will be a box of concrete
of the dimensions represented by this
space. II great strength is required,
wire or small steel rods may be i'm
bedded in the concrete as 1t is built up
which will reinforce it to the degree
that 1t will be very much stronger
than plain concrete. On the other
hand, IL 9 porous concrete is required,
that is tb say, one which will admit
moisture, 1t may be made of cinders,
with the quantity of cement and sand
somewhat reduced. This is known as
lean mixture.
Keeping in mind that the size and
shape of the boxes will be governed
by the size and shape of the thing re-
quired. the following are some of the
conveniences that may be turned out
in leisure moments:
With these simple forms it is pos
sible to make flower boxes of prac-
tically any size. 1t Is also feasible

in the concrete. Having selected the
tiles, fasten to the inside of the outer
form, or box, blocks of wood a little
larger than the size of the tiles, a.
taching these to the forms by driving
nails from the outside, penetrating
the wood just sufficiently to keep the
blocks in place, so that the nails may
be easily withdrawn. After the con-
crete has set and the forms are re-
moved, the wooden blocks, represent
ing the tiles, can be withdrawn from
the concrete and the tiles placed in
the depression and made secure by
pointing them with cement mortar.
BY the use of q dense and impervl-
above, but especially at the corners,
the forms will answer for small
tank or watering trough. Where
tanks are to be placed in exposed sit
uations. subject to freezing, 1t would
be well to slope the inside form by
making 1t a little smaller at the bot
tom than at the top, thus providing
IAN inclined interior surface, upon
which the ice will tend to slide up
ward, thereby preventing the de-
struction of the tank 1t is said,
however, that the placing of a stick
in an upright position in a receptacle
of this character will prevent 1t from
bursting In cold weather.
With pipe openings established,
these box forms are available for the
