new HYBRID CARNATIONS
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

Thanks to the skill of the hybridist,
We now have races of lovely, fragrant,
ever-blooming carnations, dwarf and
bushy in growth. that show buds and
flowers in four or five months after
the seeds are sown.
The flowers, too, are not only borne
in abundance, but are of all the lead
ing shades of color. from white
through shades of pink to dark Grim
son, and from cream to bright yellow,
as well as striped and blotched.
These new carnations are as easily
grown as Japan pinks. The seeds may
be sown in a box in the window dur
ing March or April, and the plants set
out where they are to bloom when the
weather becomes warm and settled.
Give them a sunny bed, and If you
wish fine show of flowers from each
plant, pinch off the first stem that
pushes up to bloom. This will cause
the plant to stool out, and develop sew
eral stalks, each of which will bear
cluster of buds and flowers.
A rich. rather tenacious soil suits
the plants, and they should stand eight
inches apart in the row or bed.
For winter blooming SOW the seeds
in May or June and grow in pots. shift

According to Notice.

During sham fight which constitut-
ed part of a certain infantry bat
talion's training for the war a COM
pany was told off to follow up the re-
treating enemy" For this purpose
the pursuers, who had been having
a strenuous time, had to cross a fairly
wide river, and were marched to the
nearest bridge, which was about four
miles away. Imagine their disappoint-
ment on arriving to find this notice
attached to the bridge of the 'ene-
my: This bridge is blown up" But
the officer in command of the pursuers
was a man of action, and promptly
attached a notice to one of his leading
men and proceeded to march his force
across the bridge. They had almost
crossed it, when an umpire suddenly
appeared, frantically waving his hand
and exclaiming: The bridge is blown
up; all these men are drowned" The
commanding officer made no reply, but
simply pointed to his notice, which
read: This company is swimming
across!"

In Experiment at Missouri Station no
III Results Were Noticed-Test
at Other Stations.

Ten yearling mules. weighing ap-
proximately $50 pounds each, were fed
by the Missouri experiment station.
for 80 days on an average daily ration
of 6.5 pounds of ear corn. Sc pounds
of mixed hay. and 4 pounds Of corn
silage. The mules made a gain of only
As pounds, during the period. No i'll
results were seen from the use of the
silage but the mules did not consume
large quantities of it. This It is
thought may have been due to the
fact that the silage was made from
rather immature corn.
Successful experiments in feeding ST.
lage to horses and mules, conducted
by the North Carolina and Pennsyl.
vania stations have been reported to
the department of agriculture. It is
advised that corn silage should always
be fed in combination with other feeds
and that under no circumstances
should spoiled silage. either moldy or
rotten. be fed to horses and mules.

One Of Reasons Why Corn StubbIe
Should Not Be Permitted to Stand
in Field Undisturbed.

(By A F. CONRADI. Clemson Agricul-
tural CollegeD
The cornstalk borer Is one of the
reasons why corn stubble should not
be allowed to stand in the field all
winter undisturbed. This insect is one
of the most notorious corn pests of
the South. Without cutting the stalks
the evidence of its work may be seen
in every cornfield at the time of her
vesting by the holes that may occur
on any portion of the stalk. These
holes vary largely in number.
The point to be remembered in the
life history stages and habits of this
insect is its habit of remaining as
larva in the base of corn stubble be-
low the ground during winter. Here.
therefore, is a chance for those farm
ers who are friends of this species to
do 1t a great favor by allowing the
corn stubble to stand undisturbed in
their fields during fall and winter De-
stroying corn stubble is not very easy.
except on modern farms where there
is sufficient horse power and the stub
bles can be turned under thoroughly.
Turning under corn stubble is Of
great help in reducing the cornstalk
borer for the next season. Where thor
ough turning cannot be practiced. there
are other methods, such as busting"
out the stubble and hauling it to the
compost heap for rotting. After the
corn is gathered the stalks, stubble and
everything else may be bursted out,
raked in heaps and after few weeks
for drying. burned.
In experimental work very large
percentage of larvae was destroyed
during winter where the stubble was
plowed out and left exposed to the
weather. 1t can readily be seen that
when these methods are practiced by
farmers only here and there it does
not help the situation very much. The
control OF the cornstalk borer depends
on the cooperative action of the farm
ers Of a community.

farm than the creameries. If we try
to learn and have conditions right we
can be sure to turn out the best prod
uct. A good quality of butter will
greatly increase consumption. When
only inferior butter is on the market
people use little of il. | was once told
by one of my customers that the only
objection he had to my butter was
that it took too much of it, that he
used double the amount that he did
of cheap butter.
Cooperation with your neighbors
better dairy cattle. By cooperating
we can buy the best sires and change
our breeding without so much ex-
pense. | think every dairyman, 1t
matters not how small his business,
should make an effort to breed reg
istered stock. as it does not cost any
more to raise them, and when he has
a surplus there is so much more
profit in what he sells.
One among the most noted Jersey
DTeeucTS III AIueTlCd Is HAL VIII
only keeps eighteen to twenty cows.
He has bred and developed many Of
the very largest producers. On the
Island of Jersey the breed has been
developed by small dairymen through
cooperation. If the average farmer
could get rid Of his prejudices and
false notions about registered stock
and stop saying. They say grades
are worth about as much for business
as registered stock" he would put
himself far along on the road toward
the improvement of his cows and the
big increase in their earnings. They
seem to stick to the idea that the
haphazard COW is really better and
more profitable for them than a COW
born of an improved sire and dam.
The same low grade of judgment pre-
walls upon the subject of feeding.
Many people think they cannot afford
to feed their cows well. II is true
that no man can afford to buy feed, or
raise 1t either. for poor cows, but it
is certainly true that no man can af-
ford not to feed a good COW the right
food and all she will eat and digest.

To make butter profitable on the
farm we must first have good cows.
Constitutional vigor in dairy COW is
something we cannot pour into an an
imal with bottle; it has to be bred
and fed into her.
First, breed from nothing but strict
ly healthy animals: After we have
healthy cows we should know their
