PLAN SUCCESSION OF CROPS
Not Advisable to Have Second Plant
ing Of Same Crop Follow the
First-keep Land Busy.

In planning the location of crops,
consideration should be given to the
matter of succession, In order that
the land may be occupied as large a
part Of the time as possible. It is
not advisable to have second plant
ing Of the same crop or closely re-
lated crop follow the first. Cabbage
should not follow caulifiower, brus-
sells sprouts, mustard, or kale, for
many Of the same diseases and insects
affect all Of these crops. Tomatoes.
Elephants and peppers should not fol-
low each other. In some sections
three or four crops can be grown on
the same land each year, while in 9TH
or sections two crops are all that can
be grown to advantage. When a crop
is harvested early In the season and
II is not practicable to plant another
vegetable for two or three months. the
land may be planted to cowpeas or
crimson clover. For example. after
crop OF early cabbage it may not be
desirable to plant another vegetable
crop until late summer or autumn. In
this case 1t would be desirable to SOW
cowpeas or crimson clover, to be
turned under In preparation for the
fall crop.

a series of crate bars which are in
turn covered by a cremating box or
oven in which the material to be in.
cinerated is placed.
In building this, place in the exca-
walton for the base a quantity of
loose stones and gravel to insure ade-
quate drainage below the cement. The
inside dimensions of the fire box base
are 2 feet, inches by foot, 9h
inches by foot, inches. The out
side dimensions-3 feet, inches by
2 feet, inches. While the cement is
still soft, place across the top some
old CRATE bars, which form the CRATE
on which the material to be burned is
placed. The incinerating chamber is
made of galvanized iron-length, 2
feet. inches; width, / foot, 10 inches;
height, l foot, Inches. In the top
Is cut round hole protected by a
hinged cover. The galvanized box
has no bottom, but is placed ON top
Of the crate bars and held firmly in
place while the cement is worked up
around its lower edges. In the back
Of this box is an opening for piece
of stove pipe. When not in use this
pipe may be removed and stored in
side the box. A large wooden box
should be kept over the galvanized
box, when the crematory is not in use,
to protect il from the weather.

INCARCERATION IS BEST
Only Really Sanitary Way to Dis
pose of Dead Poultry.
To Throw Bodies on Manure Heap ls
to Invite Spread of Disease
Small crematory Is Within
Reach Of Poultry Man.
CBy r. PEARL.)

On every poultry plant and around
every farm there is bound to occur
from time to time a greater or less
number Of deaths of chicks and adult
fowls from disease or other natural
causes.
The disposal Of these dead bodies
offers a problem to the poultryman,
the correct solution of which may in
many cases become a very important
matter. This IS especially true in the
cases Of death from contagious dis
eases. The method usually practiced
by the farmer and poultryman for the
disposition of dead carcasses is sani-
tary in the extreme. To throw the
dead bodies on the manure pile is to
invite the spread of the disease. Bury
ing is far from being satisfactory
way of dealing with the matter. I'm
less buried deeply, there is likelihood
that dogs or other marauding animals
will dig out the carcasses and scat
ter parts Of them on the top of the
ground.
The only really sanitary method of
dealing with dead bodies is to inciner-
ate them. The difficulty of following
this plan is that the farmer usually
does not have any suitable source
of heat ready at hand at all times.
To meet this requirement there has
recently been devised by the expert
ment station OF an eastern state
small crematory, which in point of
cost Is within the reach of every poul-
tryman or farmer
This crematory is very simple in
construction. 1t consists of a cement
oase or fire box, bearing on its top

these will be replaced ultimately by
heavier horses better suited for heavy
farm work.
The size and value of the mature
animal depends to a large extent on
the feed and care it gets during colt
hood. 1t pays to give the colt a
chance to make the most of its in
herited possibility of development, for
an extra 200 or 800 pounds make a
striking difference in the selling price
of work horse or mule.
The maximum development is pos
sible only when the colts are handled
carefully and fed well during the first
two or three years of their lives.

METHOD OF TOMATO CULTURE
Plants for Fall Crop Should Be Sci
Out During First Part Of July
Keep Out All Weeds.

From the LIST to the 18th of July Is
the proper time to set out the plants
for fruiting in September and October.
The Improved Queen, Livingston
Prize and Acme are the three popular
varieties for the retail market or for
home use. The ground should be
deeply plowed, narrowed and rolled
so as to be fine and mellow.
Run out the rows with the one-horse
pillow; run twice In each row. The fur
row should be at least six inches
deep. Put one-half forkful of rotted ma
nure about three feet apart In the row.
Spread one handful of some good bone
fertilizer over the manure, then mix
the two together
Cover with about two inches of mel
low earth Make low, fiat hills, just
even with the surface. Set one stout,
stocky plant in each hill; set the plant
deep, up to the first leaf. If the wealth.
er is hot and dry, fill the dibble hole
with water, set In the plant and draw
the earth close to the roots.
The next morning cover the plants
with two or three little bushes to pre-
vent the sun from scorching the leaves
and drying out the moisture. Leave
the covering on until the plants start
to grow. Water late in the evening
II soil is dry.
AS soon as plants start growth re-
move the covering, run the cultivator
between the rows, going close to the
plants, then with the hoe draw the
mellow earth close up to the stems
Give frequent and thorough culture
throughout the season. Keep the soil
loose.
The early and second early plants
should be kept free Of grass and
weeds. Throw furrow to the plants
before the vines commence to spread,
aud with the hoe make a good bed of
mellow earth for the vines to rest on.
This bed Of mellow soil will keep the
roots cool and prevent evaporation OF
the moisture In the lower soil which
the vines need for the perfection of
large, well-ripened fruit. Try this
method of tomato culture.

Ladder Braeed with Wire.

Take two pieces Of No. wire and
fasten to the stills at one end by pass

lock by turning the end back through
the holes over small iron pins, then
pass the wire over the V-irons. draw

at the other ends in the same way.
This brace will more than double the
strength of the ladder and add but
little expense.

Honey Secured From Goldenrod

You may not be impressed with the
esthetic effect admired by your city

Conversely, If kept in a damp place

OVERLOOK THE GARDEN
Average Farmer Fails to Appre-
Ciate Rare Privilege.
One That Is Poorly Planned and Not
Well Kept is Anything But Good
Observation-Disclosures Cannot
be Reekoned In Money.
CBy o M. Clark

The pleasure and profit to be de-
rived from a good vegetable garden
is a privilege enjoyed to its fullest ex-
tent only by those leading rural life;
but, strange to say, the average farmer
painfully fails to appreciate this rare
privilege. In fact, in many cases he
neglects this opportunity to such
pitiful extent that we are prone to
think that he, more than any other
person who pretends to have garden
at all, needs to be urged to have, and
informed how to make and maintain,
a good vegetable garden. The farmer
used to large areas of general farm
crops feels that he is stopping from
his dignity or is wasting his time when
he undertakes anything so small as he
imagines the vegetable garden to be;
consequently, he plows it, perhaps,
and leaves the planting and filling to
the women folks" AS a matter of
fact, there is not on the farm a piece
of land of the same area, the profit
of which approaches anywhere near
to that Of the vegetable garden. An
authority on this subject says From
careful observation the statement can
be safely made that a well-kept garden
will yield return 10 to Is times great
er than would the same area If devot-

It is generally conceded among the

Chickens
Fss


Il think it would be lovely to have
a few chickens" said Mrs. BallandinS
burg.
"You think it would, eh?' retorted
wouldn't. When l was driving a mail
wagon our folks had chickens. The
darned chickens persisted in riding on
the lead and the axles of the mail wag-
on and 1 couldn't keep them off,
Il had to go to the depot at 3
o'clock in the morning while it was
still dark with the wagon loaded down
with chickens riding the bumpers and
the brake beams"
"That shows how much you know
about chickens! When they once get
on a roost you can't get them off by
any kind of pressure or show of force
Those birds could ride all the way tc
to the depot, where | would bang a
lot of mail into the wagon right over
their heads. Did it bother them? No
more than it would have bothered sea-
soned apartment dwellers met seven
trains in the morning and mauled and
hauled all kinds of mail right over
their heads without rousing them from
their slumbers.

through the streets with a wagon load
ed with mail above and a full passen-
ger list of roosters and hens under
meath the wagon. People observed it
and made witty comments that
didn't relish.
"ThOse chickens would stay right
there until broad daylight. Then while
my wagon was standing at the post
office door they would see the plot of
green grass and begin to disembark,
get off their perch or whatever is right
for it, and they would make their way
over to the plot and begin to eat grass
Although they never displayed par
ticle of excitement during the ride the
sight of the grass at the postoffice al
ways occasioned a slight furry of en-
thusiasm.

performance, and | haven't heard the
last of it to this day.
