FARMERS COMBINE IN RUSSIA
Country Possesses No Fewer Than
3o,so0 Cooperative Associations
Societies Loan Money.

Combined effort among the farmers
Of Russia though not much talked
about, has nevertheless reached high
state of efficiency The country pos
sesses no fewer than 30,500 combina-
lions of farmers. and though the coun-
try Is vast, that number OF associa-
lions must go long way towards
covering the local areas.
There are 12.500 societies which
lend money between their members;
and $500 societies devoted to the
economic distribution and sale of the
crops and animals raised by associated
farmers. Six hundred societies devote
their efforts toward joint crop produc-
tion, and in these the members are
pledged 10 pay in their whole pro.
duction to the society.
The establishment of $50 collective
granaries. to handle the rs million
bushels OF wheat produced, is an at.
tempt to enable Russia to compete
with our Canadian elevators and may
lead to the establishing of grades. a
boon that Russia has not hitherto ex-
tended to buyers of her produce. Fin
ally, there are $500 creameries into
which dairy farmers deliver daily. 1t
Is striking example. and one. that
many people would not expect to find
In country such as Russia. All the
organizations mentioned are entirely
apart from the state.
One of the most notable of the
many ways by which the Russian gov.
eminent helps the farmer is by ad
vance on the security of their stacked
hay or grain, which enables the grow.
er to hold crops over the winter.

ARSENATE OF LEAD

emies Of Crop-Spraying Is
Recommended.

The soil for potatoes. should be oil
a light or sandy or gravelly loan type.
Plowed-over turf land gives poor crops,
for II is infested with the wireworm
and the May beetle.
In fertilizing potatoes the amount
and the kind should be governed
somewhat by local conditions. ! have
found in my practise that about six
hundred pounds, consisting of 2bo
pounds of nitrate of soda, 25O pounds
of acid phosphate and 100 pounds OF
muriate of potash is the maximum
mixture for the most economical re-
suits. says a writer In an exchange.
This material should be sown broad,
cast couple of weeks before plant
ing, and we'll narrowed into the soil.
Cultivation should begin even be-
fore the plants are up from the
ground, to loosen up the soil. to pre-
vent the moisture from evaporating,
ard to free the field Of weeds. When
the potato Sprout comes up anu sne
plant increases in size. the field should
be gone over continually with a fine
spiketooth harrow until It is impossi-
Bile for the horse and narrowing ma
chine to go on the field without dam
aging the crop.
Potato bugs and blight are the
greatest enemies of the crop. The
best spraying chemical for the bugs
is arsenate OF lead, which gives better
results than paris green and is not SO
inconvenient and dangerous to han
die.
The blight can be guarded against
by constant spraying. especially dur
ing the month Of August. with bor-

| GOOD CULTIVATION
OF THE BURBERRY
Government Has Attained Devel-
opment Beyond All Previous
Expectations.

The government has been expert.
menting with the blueberry plant and
has worked out system of Dit cul
ture under which ii attains a develop.
ment beyond all previous expecta-
tions.
Blueberries thrive in acid soils. and
there is large amount of naturally
acid land in the East United States
that is fit for nothing else, on which
blueberries could be raised profitably.
There are two methods OF propagat.
ing the blueberry plant. The first.
which is suited to upland soils, is to
set the plant in trenches or separate
holes in wellrotted peat, about a foot
deep, and mulch the surface well with
leaves or clean sand.
Give plenty of room for the roots.
The soil should afford good drainage,
as the ideal condition of the peat about
the roots is one OF continued moisture
during the growing season.
The second method of field culture
Is to set the plants in a peat bog after
1t has been drained, turfed and deeply
mulched with sand, just as for cram
berry culture. except that no provision
need be made for rapid flooding Of the
bog for winter The ground water OF
the bog might be kept little lower
than Is usual with cranberries.
There is great difference between
the genuine blueberry and its coun-
terfeit-the huckleberry The blue.
berry Is plump, large. and its seeds
are so small as to be almost unnoticed
The huckleberry's seed is surrounded
with bony covering like a minute pea
pit, which crackles between the teeth.
The blueberries stand shipment well
and II growers will take pains to in.
sist that their product be not confused
with huckleberries and sold at the
same price. they will be better off.

of the ribbon should be thus employed.
A folded sash of ribbon. finished
with fiat bow at the back, is shown
in the second picture. This ribbon is
often Powered and always Of light,
soft texture that will not muss easily.
Little girls delight in ribbons, and for
that reason are INDUCED in sprightly
hair bows, and when ribbon sash is
worn band and bow for the hair to
match Is allowed the little maid.
Children's shoes are as simply made
as possible. and those for daily wear
follow the natural outline of the foot
exactly. Nothing is In worse taste
than a misf1t In shoes on children, or
anyone else.
In little dresses designed for school
or play plain belts are made OF the
same material as the dress and are
worn in the same manrsr as the velvet
girdle shown here. Nothing ID allowed
the little gsrl In the way Of furbelows
other than her sash and hair ribbon.
Thus simply clad she remains until
well into her teens.

Nothing can be farther from good
management than the common prac-
dse of leaving the grass land to take
care Of itself. On the average small
farm the live stock have the run of
the whole OF the grass practically ev-
cry day In the year.
There Is never fresh field to give
the stock a change; the sweet parts
of the farm are over-grazed. and by
oyer-manuring lose their sweetness
and become rank, while the poor parts
are allowed to run to seed, thus in
creasing the proportion Of weeds and
weed-grasses.
The prevailing fault on the many
farms. large and small, is the want of
proper gates, even when the fences
may be good. A good gate that will
last half lifetime, II properly hung.
can be got for very little, we need not
specify at length what the common
stop-gaps are.
1t is a deep study in human nature
to find an explanation of the state of
mind that will not take the trouble
to settle the question Of gates prop
erly.
Valuable machinery is stuck in a
gap, exposed to all weathers, and liza
Bile to be injured or to injure stock.
when moved to allow passage.
In another case. the gap is stopped
by bushes, which have to be taken
down and built up laboriously each
time the gap is wanted.
Frequently We see a gate leaning
against a gap, because the farmer has
not time to set up gate posts. More
frequently the gate post Is set up so
badly that 1t gives way, the gate drags
or has to be lifted each time 1t is
opened, and the gate comes to pieces
long before 1t should be worn out.
The average stop-gap, as a contriv-
ance to save time and trouble. leaves
everything to be desired. 1t is waste
ful both OF time and material. and is
most laborious.
The proper erection OF gate post
Is not Il difficult matter, II due regard

II you have failed to get the mare
with foal do not give up too easily.
Try her again, remembering that fall
colt is almost as valuable as a spring
colt in these days Of high.priced horses.
The mare that foals in the fall also
has an advantage to the farmer as he
can have her for work during the rush
season in the spring. II is not too late
to breed the mare yet. and farmers
should not give up II she does not

is paid to the drag exercised BY the
weight of the gate.
A gate post of narrow diameter.
such as wood or metal, soon works
through the soil unless properly
stayed. Even stone pier would give
way In soft soil The great point Is
to provide some resistance to the
drag.
There are many devices that inge-
nuity will suggest. A simple one, II
rather costly, would be to imbed the
post in broadbased block of con-
crete.
The weight would then be on the
post instead of the gate, and the cen
ter of gravity would be supported by
the base of the block, whether the
gate stood open or closed.
Whatever device is adopted, let
there be no delay about the proper
hanging of gates. This is matter
that gives away the character of a
farmer perhaps more than anything
else about his place.
While on the subject Of gates and
gate posts. we may call attention to
the fact that many a gateway In the
wet season is regular sea of mud.
and the fields on each side cut up
badly for some distance.
Gateways should be firm and un-
yielding. not only to provide clean and
easy passage for foot or wheel. but
also to secure firm gate posts. A soft
gateway gives no material support to
a post.
Where there is hard bottom, the
gateway may have the surface cleared
away and the hollow filed with stones
picked off the land. With soft bot.
tom, a foundation may be laid With
bundles of faggots, which are to be COW
cred, as before. with the stones. Fag.
gots In such position last a long
time and provide the drainage which
is required in such a position.
Let the center OF the gateway be
higher than the sides, SO as to pre-
vent the lodgment of water, which
does SO much harm in this position.

weight and unmussable. A coat made
from il BY Herbert. Paris. is pictured
here and is an excellent model for
travelling or general utility.
All travelling coats should be ample
as to length and width and cut on
straight-hanging lines. The adjustment
at the shoulder and the management
of the sleeves are items upon which
they depend for style. Now that capes
of all kinds are fashionable a number
OF coats have been produced by de.
signers with short cape attached.
They are becoming to the slender fig.
ure. and in some cases amount to a
separate garment, as they are detach.
able, This makes them especially at.
tractiye where the journey brings one
into quick changes Of temperature.
The Raymer enterprise., 1914-08-13

The coat portrayed here is finished
with misunderstanding and lined with
lightweight broadcloth. Sleeves are
set in to drop shoulder and finished
with broad turn-back cuff which
may be brought down to the hand or
turned back to about three-quarter
length. The coat Is belted In across
the back by means Of short strap at
each side, finished with pointed end
and buttonhole. This buttons over
large plain bone buttons and confines
some OF the fullness Of the back.
A long and comfortable cape makes
an outer garment for travelling which
may be counted upon never to be
wholly questionable. But 1t is not
as convenient as the long. straight
coat. A garment cut on lines similar
to those shown in the picture here and
made of staple fabrics will prove as
stable in style. as in material.

true. for, unless the calf is well-born

TEACH FARMING IN SCHOOLS
Promotion Of Education in Scientific
Agriculture Must Be Conducted
In Public Institutions.

Agricultural colleges, experImen,
stations, technical schools OF agricul
ture, agricultural papers, farmers In.
stitutes. short courses and other sim
liar activities have accomplished much
but they are now insufficient with
out the aid of the public schools. The
study of agriculture has a distinct
value as mental training which i'm.
proves the quality Of the school work
sufficiently to justify its use even il
we disregard the great value of the
informationn obtained
The fear that 1t could not be taught
was quickly shown to be groundless
because it is actually being taught and
very successfully in great many
places. Certain useless portions OF
arithmetic, grammar, physiology, and
other studies may readily be sup.
planted by more practical work In
agriculture, home-making, and other
subjects relating to the every day life
of the students.
In the rural schools the many things
that may be done or studied include
counting the stand Of corn, saving
and storing seed corn, corn.judging,
corn-testing. planter-testing. preparing
the seed for the planter, the prepara.
ton of the seed bed, growth OF the
corn plant. processes of cultivation,
the history of corn, and study OF
what becomes Of the corn crop, the
study of weeds, the harm they do. and
the means of getting rid of them. study
OF poultry and other live stock, and
the study of the small grains.

AID FOR SOUTHERN FARMERS
Government Taking steps to Fight
Cattle Ticks and Boil WeeviI-
Study Ostrich Industry.

Never before has the southern,
farmer been SO well taken care of by
the national government as he will
be in the next fiscal year, according
to the terms Of the agricultural appro-
priation bill just passed by congress.
when the measure was being debated
IN the senate. item after item was
added to the bill in behalf OF the
southern, and especially of the cot.
ton farmers.
An appropriation Of 100000 for the
eradication of southern cattle ticks,
OF which sum $4,000 may be used for
live stock demonstration work, in CO.
operation with the bureau OF plant in
dustry in areas already freed OF ticks,
was one OF the benefits the southern
farmers received.
Included in the appropriation for in
vestigations and experiments in ami
NAL husbandry, is an appropriation Of
$24,5O0 which may be used Tor the
feeding and breeding OF ostriches and
Investigations and study of the os-
trich industry. This also will bene-
fit the southern farmers and those Of
California,
The house provides $S0.5S0 for In
vestigation of the ginning. handling.
grading and baling, gin Comprising
and wrapping of cotton and for the
establishment and demonstration of
standards for the different grades of
cotton. This amount was increased
by 100000 by the senate, the in.
crease to be used for furnishing the
primary markets In the cotton growing
states with set of the samples as
standardized by the government. and
samples of the bleached and un-
bleached yarns made from the differ.
ent grades. showing the waste. ten

the cotton.
For farmers cooperative demonstra-
tions and for the study and demon
stration of the best methods of meet
ing the ravages of the cotton boil
weeyils total appropriation of $67S,.
240 was made. 1t was on this pro-
vision that the fight took place over
the acceptance Of money from John
d. Rockefeller, the senate adding
$5OO.O00 to the house allowance pro-
vided that no part OF this sum Of
S67S,240 shall be used In Connection
with any money contributed or ten.
dered by the Central Education board
or any like organization.
Another provision which should
make the southern farmers glad was
that for the investigation and Inn
provement OF methods OF crop produc
tion under sub-humid, semi-arid or dry
land condition, because as originally
written, this appropriation did not con-
tain the word sub-humid. The amount
allowed for this work was $3.50 900
One OF the provisions which was
intended solely for the most opposi.
tion from the economists in congress
was that Of 100000 for experiments
and demonstrations in live stock pro-
duction in the cane sugar and cotton
districts Of the United States.
This provision was placed In the
bill at the instance OF the representa-.
tiyes OF Louisiana in the house. and
later doubled to 100000 at the in.
stance of the two senators from that
state.
