Kills Raspherrv Canes

The disease known as raspberry all thracnose causes small dead spots CT the canes and kills fruiting clusters Sometimes so many of the dead spots occur that the entire cane is killed This disease is spread by ancIean nur sery stock or may come from wild plants into plantation. The com monest source of it, however, is nur sery stock. Under favorable weather conditions and on some soils especial ly, 1t may destroy a years fruit crop and destroy the prospect for mex years crop at the same time.
 It may be only imperfecty controll cd by spraying. It is safest to plan only clean stock and to destroy an olt diseased patch rather than fight tn, disease.

Second Crop of Potatoes.

To grow second crop of Irish DO tatoes to be used for winter uses is a perpleXing problem for the farmer Keeping the first crop over for winter use is almost impossible and it is a choice of buying the winter supply or growing the second crop.
 The greatest difficulty in planting the first crop seed is In getting a stand. The new potatoes will not ger minate readily and if planted only a small percentage will grow
 Some growers overcome this diff. culty by placing the seed potatoes, as soon as they are dug, in moist, fairly cool place such as in a shallow trench in the shade of tree. Or by cutting in halves, spreading on the ground and covering with pine needles kept moist They are then watched, and as they show signs of sprouting are planted in deep furrows, covering lightly at first, working the soil to them as they grow until level Then cultivate shallow and level. Some va rietieS make better second crop than others, among which are Early Rose, Bliss Triumph, Irish Cobbler and Peerless. Plant fin soil where the mois. ture has been retained.

Feed Sow According to Sixe of Litter to Avoid MIX Fever-SkIm MIX and Meat Meal For Pigs.

In order to raise two filters of pigs . year. the second litter should be far rowed in August and September. 50 that the little pigs can make good gains before cold weather sets In and the sows will be in good condition to breed again in October and Novem- Der.
 Special Attention to Feeding.
 Special attention should be given the SOW at Narrowing time to keep her system as cool as possible. Where they do not have access to good pas ture 1t is advisable to give them e slop feed consisting largely of shorts three or four days before farrowing.
 The first few days after farrowing, the sow should be fed according to the size of her litter, using extra pre- caution where litter Is very small, as too much feed will cause a feverish condition of the udder, which is liable to make the pigs SCOUT or give the SOW milk fever. The feed should not be mixed up in larger amounts than can be fed out in one day, so as to keep 1t from souring. Sour feed, when fed to either the sows or pigs, will cause SCOUTS. Shell corn is a good feed to put in creep to start the lit- tie pigs to eating while they are still sucking. After weaning do not feed too much corn.
 Ration For Growing Pigs.
 The following Is good ration for growing pigs: Corn, 45 per cent; shorts, rice polish or rice bran, 45 per cent; and meat meal, tankage or oil meal, 10 per cent. If skim milk is available 1t can be fed instead of the meat meal, etc, feeding two and one-half pounds of milk for each pound of grain fed.
 After the pigs are from three to five months old, the corn can be gradually increased to 60 or 80 per cent of the ration, the shorts and tankage being correspondingly decreased. A good fall pasture will decrease the cost of production. but where pastures are not handy, small amounts of alfalfa or clover hay can be fed to advantage H. A.

ALFALFA AT PROFIT
 ON ARKANSAS FARM
Farmer Tells How He Experimented With This Forage Crop to Get Gooo Yield.

It was on a hill farm in Washington County. The first cutting came on May 15, and yielded a little more than q ton to the acre The second cut ting was ready the second week ol June and yielded even better. The third growth was cut July 10 with as large crop as before. And the field continues to grow, and with hay sell ing at SIS ton.
 Tn giving his reasons for his sue cess with alfalfa the owner of the farm made the following statement:
 q first tried alfalfa in 1912, and tol lowing the advice of neighbors, worked my soil up is good shape ano seeded in the spring. I got good stand, but later in the season the plants turned yellow and finally the weeds took the crop"
 "I was strongly impressed with the possibilities of the alfalfa crop ano began reading alfalfa literature ir farm papers. To grow alfalfa success fully I found one must have rich well drained, well lined soil. lnocu lation was recommended where neither alfalfa nor sweet clover hac ever been grown. Alfalfa growers al advised that a field to be seeded to al falfa should be given special attentlof to lower the risk from weeds"
 "The field which I aimed to put into alfalfa consisted of three acres Of faf1 upland with good drainage. In the spring of 1913 I fertilized with barn yard manure at the rate of 12 tons tc the acre and planted to cowpeas. This crop served as smother crop to clear the land of weeds. turned these un der to a good depth about August 5 cutting up the vines with a disc 'har row before doing so. Later l applied air-slaked lime at the rate of 1,0at pounds to the acre. Late in the after noon of the day before seeding l dis tributed soil from an old alfalfa fiel6 over the field to be planted at the rate of four or five hundred pounds to the acre, and followed with a spike tooth harrow. This plan avoided the exposure of nitrogen fixing bacteria tc the direct rays of the sun.
 "The seed was sown broadcast upon the well-firmed seed bed good growth was made in the fall whicl was allowed to remain for winter pro lection. No great difficulty was ex perienced the following season with weeds and four fairly good crops werc taken off the field"

Tho Rottjnu of Pea ches.

There is much trouble from Brown rot of peaches this season, and it is possible by prompt action to save a part of this damage by spraying the crop with self-boiled lime sulphur or with sulphur paste. The self-boiled lime sulphur is perfectly safe if made strictly according to the directions given in Bulletin IA of the Arkansas Experiment Station. If cooked too long 1t may injure the foliage of the tree and thereby endanger the crop The sulphur paste can be bought in this state under the name of atomic sulphur There is an agency at Rog.

Bitter Rot in Storaoe.

Do not store apples from an or chard in which there is much bitter rot, even if the apples themselves seem perfectly clean. This applies especially to Jonathan and Grimes va rieties. It often happens that very small bitter rot spots are overlooked in culling. and apples stored with these spots on them go down very quickly upon removal from storage J. Lee Hewitt.

Mans Debt to the Candle.

After the lamp came the candle. whose modest ray we are inclined to regard with considerable amount of kindliness and esteem. But for the candle the dark ages of the world would have been dark in a still moro literal sense than they already were. and to this humble servant civilized mankind was indebted for the very best illuminant it possessed, certainly until the latter end of the eighteenth century, and probably right np to the time of the invention of gas.
