FertiIizing Peach Trees.

Nitrogen helps peach trees. An ex.
pertinent at the college Of agriculture
of the University of Missouri showed
that where nitrogen was applied to
peach trees good crops were harvest.
ed. On plots receiving no fertilizer
there was practically no crop. There
was likewise q failure OF peaches In
the surrounding region where no fer.
tilizer was applied. The cold winter
of .1911-12 was disastrous to peach
trees in Missouri. Injury to. peach
trees, caused by the cold, so weak
ened their vitality that disease like
the bacterial shot hole leaf disease
was common. On the plots fertilized
with nitrogen there was little bac.
terial disease. On adjacent unferti-
lised plots the injury from this cause
was very great. The trees in the plots
fertilized with nitrogen also recoy-
cred from winter injury much more
successfully and quickly than infer
tilised trees in the same locality.

condition of the mares. They SHOULD

critical time approaches.
Mares should be given box stall

become used to it, and that they
may have a place large enough in
which to be comfortable during the
night The stall should at all times
be kept clean and we'll bedded, and
more particular care should be taken
regarding these details when the foal
is born. The source of navel trouble
in foals is generally due to dirty
stable or yard. As safeguard

and treated with strong disinfec-
tant, such as a solution of carbolic
acid.
II the season Of the year and other
conditions permit, mares may be al
lowed to feed on grass. This lessons
the danger of infection.
After the foal has been born, do
not insist on his getting on his feet
and nursing Immediately. Ordinarily,
the foal with the help of his mother
will learn to stand up and nurse in
due course of time. If his efforts are
unsuccessful because he Is not strong
enough, Them he should be helped to
stand while he nurses. and thus de-

SWEET CLOVER A GOOD CROP
BY A. r. Evans, Assistant in Asnon-
omy, College Of Agriculture.
University Of Missouri.

Sweet clover is a valuable crop for
feeding purposes and also for green
manure. Many people have seen the
luxuriant growth OF this plant in fence
corners and along public roads. and
have decided that on account OF its
vigorous growth it was troublesome
weed.
Sweet clover ranks as one OF our
best crops as a soil enricher. On &C
count of its vigorous growth 1t is vel
suited to the poor and eroded lands.
There are thousands of acres OF land
that are SO poor and 80 depleted that
they are not paying interest on their
valie. This land could be greatly Inn
proved by growing some leguminous
crop like sweet clover. The value Ct
sweet clover in soll improvement has
been demonstrated in the south by
turning under the green. crop before
. crop Of cotton or tobacco.
Sweet clover Is not troublesome
weed. It win not become . pest In
cultivated fields. In Ohio It was found

The most profitable vegetable crops
are those grown out of season--The
hotbed is the most efficient and
cheapest device for growing plants
out of their normal season of growth.
L Hotbeds may be used for maturing
vegetable crops during the fall and
winter months and for starting yege-
tables early In the spring. Certain
vegetables are very tender and easily
killed by frosts, so that they have to
be grown in hotbeds and later trans
planted in the open field when dan
ger from frost is past.

growth. Watering should be done in
the morning to enable plants to dry
off before night, because dampness Of
leaves and darkness favor the devel-
opment Of fungous diseases.
The amount of sunshine and cloudi-
ness will have to be taken into con-
sideration when giving proper water
ing and ventilation. The main pur-
pose is to produce steady and con-
tinuous growth in order to develop
healthy and stocky plants, which will
stand transplanting with the least
amount of detrimental results. It is
best to SOW all the vegetable seeds
in rows, care. being taken not to sow
the seeds too thickly. AS soon as true
leaves have formed, the plants are
ready to transplant.
A hotbed is indispensable in home
garden. 1t may be used for the grow
ing OF vegetables as we'll as flowers.
All plants to be transplanted are
usually started six weeks before plant.

this crop for soil-improvement pur-

QUARTERS AND CAREFUL :
4 FEEDING AND TENDING
ARE ESSENTIAL.
BY e. A. Trowbrid9e, Professor Of
Animal Husbandry, College Of
Agriculture, U. of m.

The time Of the birth of foal IL
one of the most critical in the life
of the foai and its mother. Careless
hess and lack of knowledge are res.
ponsible for many losses which occur
The loss of foals before weaving time
has been estimated at from 10 to
Is per cent, and the greater part oil
this loss occurs before the foals are
two weeks old.
Mares which are expected to pro-
duce foals in the spr;ns should have
watchful attention throughout the sea-
son. 1t is not necessary that the
brood mare have the extra care and
"ceadling" which is sometimes a.
corded it. Common sense and know.
ledge of the conditions are necessary
however.
Prior to the birth of the foal, mares
should have enough If good whole
some food and water; plenty of exer,
else; clean, light and altogether SAM.
try quarters. and regular attention
directed or given by man who likes
the horses and who looks after them,
not altogether from sense VI pro-
fit and loss, but because of human
interest and duty.
Brood mares may work up to two
or three days Of the date of foaling
and be benefited by it. They should
be given moderate. but steady work
Such horses should not be given worl,
which requires the backing of heavy
loads, or work where there is a
chance of slipping. But they can and
should be worked

Lettuce and Caulif1ower.
Other crops have a long period OF
maturity and are so tender that both
spring and fall frost would destroy
them. Cucumbers, eggplant, tomatoes
and peppers are tender vegetables re-
curing long frostless season to ma
ture a profitable crop. Crops like let
ture, cabbage and cauliflOwer are
more or less hardy, but can be pro-
duced much earlier by starting the
plants in hotbeds and then trans
planting to the open field.

determined. 1t originated in the base
ment of the Varick store, spread to
Sullivan's cigar sterehouse and threat
ened the Floyd clothing store. It was
discovered by a telephone operator,
Miss Alice Davis, who notified the POI
lice.
The fire started about 2.S0 A. NJ, but
it was not until the firemen had been
fighting the flames for more than three
hours that the large quantity of pow
der and cartridges in the sporting
goods department on the third floor
was ignited. For some time after this
there were incessant explosions and
the fire quickly worked it's way into
the upper floors and through the roof.
All the apparatus In the city was
called out. The firemen fought the
flames from the street and from the
roofs of adjoining buildings and wa
ter towers were erected on Elm street
and Nutffeld lane Because of the large
amount of powder, paints and oils in
the building, the streams poured on
the fire had little effect.
