HIS GARDEN SINKS TEN FEET
Jersey Farmer Fears He'll Have Only
Hole In the Ground
Left.

Belvidere. N. J.-Johnston Cornish,
farmer Of Harmony township, has a
sunken garden that is being created
by nature and he fears daily that the
bottom will drop out and leave him
with only hole in the ground.
The trouble started after a storm
some days ago. when a depression
was noticed in one of the fields plant
ed with garden truck. Steadily this
depression has grown until consid-
erable area is affected. Now the
earth is from ten to twelve feet lower
than it was two weeks ago.
1t is thought an underground stream
of considerable size, having its source
somewhere up in the hills, has been
slowly eating away the underlying
strata, thus allowing the surface to
sink. Examination along the Della.
ware river does not indicate any new
spring breaking into it, but it is
thought one has broken out in the bed
of the stream.
Last winter a section of the public
highway some distance from the
Cornish farm caved in and left con-
siderable hole, but it was filled in and
no trouble has been experienced there
since.

EXPERIMENTS WITH

In trials made by the Michigan ex.

visibility Of using formaldehyde as a
preservative for skim milk fed to four
to seven-week.old calves for "a weeks,
TX cubic centimeters of 40 per cent
formaldehyde being used to each 100
pounds of milk, it was found that in

terious effects from the preservative,
and as compared with calves fed sweet
milk or sour milk, made slightly
greater gains at somewhat lower cost.
From records kept of the after devel.
opment of these calves 1t was found
that those which had been fed the
preserved milk continued to make the
cheapest gains, followed by the sweet
milk fed calves and the sour milk fed
calves.
For the entire experiment the calves
fed sweet milk made total gain of
1897 pounds, costing 5.41 cents per
pound; those fed sour milk 2,4SS.i
pounds, costing 5.43 cents per pound,
and those fed the preserved milk, q
537 pounds, costing 523 cents per
pound. 1t is believed, however, that
before definite conclusions can be
drawn the work should be carried on

BURNING STUBBLE
IS BAD PRACTICE
Destroys Organic Matter and
Plant Food of Much Value
Control of Hessian Fly.

CBy L. E. CALL. Kansas Experiment Sta
toni
Don't burn your wheat stubble or
straw stacks this summer for the pur-
pose of destroying the Hessian fly.
The burning of the Btubble or wheat
straw in the stacks not only fails to
destroy the fly, but will lead to the de-
struction Of organic matter and plant
food worth millions Of dollars.
The Hessian fly would not be eradi-
Gated by burning, because the fly
passes its resting stage in the sum-
mer not only In the straw and stubble
above ground but also in the crown of
the plant so low that it could not be
destroyed by burning. The parasite
which preys upon the Hessian fly
passes the summer in the fly located
in the straw and the stubble above the
ground. II the wheat fields are
burned the parasite preying on the
Hessian fly will be killed.
There is no danger of increasing the
injury from the Hessian fly by spread
ing straw as a top dressing upon the
field. The top dressing of straw upon
the field does not furnish winter pro-
lection to the fly. Wheat which has
been infested with the jointworm and
the greater wheat strawworm in large
numbers should not be spread on the
field. These insects make their pres
ence known by the large number Of
white heads in the field. II there was
a large number of white heads of
wheat in your field do not spread the
straw on the field. This infested straw.
however, may be used as a top dress
ing on corn ground if the straw be
worked into the ground early in the
spring.
The best method Of controlling the
Hessian fly is to prevent the growth
of volunteer wheat in summer and fall
and to delay the seeding Of the wheat
until most of the flies have deposited
their eggs. The best method Of han
ding wheat ground is to disk the stub
BILE as quickly as possible after har-
vest and to plow the ground deep
after the volunteer wheat starts.

GUIDE TO MARINERS
Perry Memorial on Lake Erie
Proves Its Utility.
Doric column 335 Feet High Is Sur
mounted by Powerful Lights, Vlsi-
BILE at Great Distance-De-
signed as Monument.

Sandusky, O.-The Doric column or
main shaft of the Perry memorial at
Put-in-Bay, recently completed, has
come to be considered an important
landmark by Great Lakes region mar
iners. Visible by day from points afar,
it serves as guide through the
northern course. between the Cana
dian mainland and the shores of the
islands comprising the Lake Erie
archipelago, and the treacherous
south passage. between the islands
| on the south and the Ohio shores. BY
night its powerful lights can be seen
from almost any point in Lake Erie
between Cleveland on the east and
Toledo and Detroit on the west.
In the United States lake surveys
current bulletin the shaft is described
| as located at about the middle of
the low, narrow neck of land forming
the southernmost shore of Putin Bay
island, in approximately latitude Al
degrees, 80 minutes and IA seconds
north; longitude SO degrees, 4S min.
utes and Al seconds west"
The government officially describes
the shaft as "a Doric column of whit =,
granite, surmounted by bronze
tripod and bowl containing electric
lamps which cast an indirect illu-
mination through a plate glass COW

Tho memorial as a whole was de.
signed as monument to Commodore
Oliver Hazard Perry and his men,
victors in the battle fought on Putin
Bay that permanently fixed the pres
ent boundary line between the United
States and Canada in the Great Lakes
section and on east to the Atlantic
For one hundred years the gallant
Perry and his men had been all but
forgotten, the only tribute to their
memory being little pyramid OF
rusty cannon balls in one of the pub
lie parks at Put-in-Bay.
1t was after the memorial had been
designed that the possibilities that
strong rays of light shed from the top
Of the Doric column or main shaft
might be the means of saving lives or
serve to protect against an enemy
became apparent and steps were taken
to establish the landmark that the
federal government has pust rec.
ognized.
The Doric column is little more than

costly structural work remains to be
done. A museum is to be erected at

PROPER time FOR
CUTTING ALFALFA
Established Fact That Bloom Is
No lndication-Safe Critic
rion to Follow Is Bud.

A great many men know when their
alfalfa fields should be cut. A great
many others will still harken to the
obsolete advice Of cutting when a GER
tain per cent Of bloom appears. These
latter will in many years greatly de-
crease their yields by following this
advice.
Put this down in your mind as an
absolutely established fact. The
bloom is no indication. whatever as to
the proper time to put the mower in
the alfalfa field.
The one safe and certain criterion
to follow is the appearance of the new
crown buds. When these show up the
alfalfa should be cut at once. This
cutting by the bloom" is about as
sensible as planting potatoes in the
moon or bleeding cows tail for
hollow horn"

SWINE ON ALFALFA PASTURE
Into Suitable Areas to Shift Hogs
From Ono to Another.

BY G. W. BARNES. Arizona Experiment
Station.)
While few hogs can be raised con-
fined in limited quarters, provided
such quarters are kept clean, they
will do better, remain healthier and
produce pork more economically II
they have plenty Of alfalfa range.
1t is desirable to have the alfalfa
pasture fenced off into suitable areas,
SO that the hogs can be shifted from
one pasture to another. This will not
only provide fresh pasture, but will
give an opportunity to cultivate, and
If need be to disinfect.
Practically all cases of intestinal
worms, which are common in swine,
are contracted from infected grounds;
therefore, by pasture rotation you can
help keep your hogs free from these
parasites.
