easily absorb and retain the liquid
portion of the manure. Perhaps the
best bedding material available on
most farms is straw. Straw is a good
absorbent and decomposes rapidly in
the manure heap or soil. Sawdust,

What care should currant bushes

currants should have a well-drained,
| rather rich soil. The soil should be
thoroughly prepared, then marked
either 3 by or by 6 feet. The
bushes should be we'll cut back at

canes and enough healthy ones to give

removed until they are three years

They need good feeding and good
culture Good feeding means enough

Trimming Last Years Grape Vines.
What is the best way to trim grape
vines set last spring? j. orc.
Newark.
This will depend somewhat on the
form of vines desired. In any event
ii is wise to run one wire two feet or
two and half feet from the ground
to which the young vine can be at
tached. There may be three main
branches coming from the bottom to
be attached to other wires put IN
later, or, better yet, one main branch
from which arms can be run at right
angles, and from this second and third
branches extending to other wires
with arms This is known as the
Niffin, or the umbrella system, and Is
the best because more perfect clus-
ters are obtained.
Reviving an Old strawberry Bed.
Is it worth while trying to revive
an old strawberry bed; would it not
be better to set new plants else
where? r. H. S.
Newark.
This always depends upon the con

the plants are in poor shape. it is al
ways more satisfactory to set a new
bed. On the other hand, if in good
shape and properly cleaned out. they
are sometimes more profitable the
second year than the first.

1t might be done. but the result is
uncertain. 1t would be better to
grow another vine, since the pruning
necessary with transplanting will

It is an open question whether

just as is most convenient. For a

FOREST FIRES HARM
SOIL FERTILITY

A definite relation between tac
amount of humus, or vegetable matter,
in the soil, and its crop-producing
power as shown by Yields Of corn, is
given in figures Just issued by the de-
partment of agriculture. The depart
ment therefore advocates the use of
various methods to introduce the re-
quired humus into the soil.
Experts of the forest service state
that the soils of the whole country, and
particularly of the south, have lost and
are losing immense amounts of this
source of soil fertility through forest
fires which apparently do little imme.
diate damage but rob the soil of ac.
cumulatiOns of humus.
In many narts of the south, land is
being cleared for farming, and where
such forest land has not been burned
there is large percentage of vegetabf,
matter, which provides considerable
fertility. and good texture. More
over, this soil has a greater capacity
TO absorb and retain moisture, ant

The Mystery of the Ranch, or
Who Gets the Farmers Crop?

doing something for the other, and il is
the farmers task to feed and elothe
them all. The miner furnishes fuel for
the cooking of food and the creation
of energy, the iron ror railroads, etc,
and the lumberman provides the ma
terial for houses and shelter. On these
all other industries are based. SO much
by way of explanation. Now let us
examine into thu workings of the com
plicated system of the business affairs
of the world and see VINO pays the bills
and where the money comes from.
The department of agriculture shows
that the average income of the farmer
the original producer, rs about six hun
dred dollars a year.
Statistics show us that the pay of
the average working man is about six
hundred dollars a year, and this class,
il must be remembered, is the larger
part of the consumer Of the farmer Is
products.
1t will be seen from this that tho
balance seems to be a tolerably equit-
able one. The income of the one is
about the same as the other, with the
balance rather against the farmer since
he also has capital invested in his
farm, which in comparison with the
working mans income produces him
nothing. This is where he gets the
first discrimination against him.
That this is the least of the inius-
tees done him will be our effort to
show in another article.
