Uniformity in Live Stock.
Under the above heading Denve
ctnck pauar savs.

Under the above heading a Denver
stock paper says:
lone Of the things the western
farmers have yet to learn is the value
of uniformity in stock breeding in
any district. II the farmers and
stockmen in any section could be in
dnced to adopt one breed in any class
of live stock and stick to it, it would
result in much better prices for the
stock when taken to market. At the
present time each farmer is going 1t
alone according to his own Ideas. In
swine growing, rs All illustration, one
farmer is breeding Poland Chinas,
while on one side of him his neigh
Dor is breeding Berkshires, and on
the other Duroc-J erseys are being
produced. Neither of these three are
producing enough to make up a car
load and when the buyer comes in he
takes out to market n mixed carload.
"A few days ago there came to this
market two cars of hogs from the
same section. One car was made up
of Duroc-Jerseys and the other car
was a mixed load, containing sever
al different breeds. The uniform load
of Durocs brought nearly Il cent n
pound more than the mixed load, al
though apparently the hogs In one
load were AS good as In the other.
"If the breeders in any one district
would get together and decide upon
one breed of hogs. one breed of cattle
and one breed of horses, and even ex-
tend their operations to the poultry,
they would be astonished at the re-
suits. The same rule can be profit
ably worked out in general farm
crops. Where the farmers in one dis
trict are all growing one class of
wheat, one kind OF oats or corn or
barley, they will invariably find it
much easier to market their crop at
profitable prices than where each far
mer is going it alone according to his
own ideas.
"This is n condition in farming that
has been well understood in foreign
countries, but in this country and es-
pecially in the west the idea OF coop
Grafton in live stock breeding is prac-
tically unknown. In the new sections
where development has just started
there is a splendid opportunity for
the farmers to get together and start
right II they only would and even In
the older sections it is not too late If
the farmers only organize and con-
slider their mutual interests from a
practical standpoint"

II the late cabbage is showing a
tendency to grow little too fast and
the heads are cracking open bend the
plants over to one side and break all
the roots OH the opposite side of the
plant so the growth will be checked.
If the cabbage Is not to be buried In
pits, but used at once In the making OF
kraut or other winter foodstuffs let
the outside leaves grow. us these will
make fine green stun for the hens
when vegetation is pretty well gone In
tile fall.
II you have good many beans left
on the vines. either In the garden or In
the corn of the truck patch. pick them
and shell them. or gather vines and all
and beat them out for winter use. In
September Is Il splendid time to make
n cold frame and SOW lettuce and rad
ishes for table use early in the winter.
Get all the weeds and dead vines out
of the garden. 1t is just MS well to
burn them. for by doing this you de-
stroy good many bugs. Sow rye or
wheat in the garden. as this will give
lots Of humus when plowed under. and
you can use It as chicken pasture

For eight years the Missouri College
Of Agriculture has maintained seven
field experiment stations in various
parts Of the state. These fields were
fairly representative Of the level and
rolling lands Of central and northeast
Missouri One of the most striking
facts brought out in the eight years Of
experimenting was the general need of
lime on these prairie soils. 1t is known
that thousands upon thousands of acres

LATE CELERY AND ITS CARE.

soms Varieties Are Cultivated Until
the Latter Part Of September.
Late varieties are cultivated until the
latter part Of September when han
ding begins. says NJ. G. kains In the
American Agriculturist. Before han
ding cultivator is run between the
rows to make the ground fne and
loose. Another cultivator. with side
shOvels, Immediately follows to throw
the dirt toward the rows. Men then
get on their knees between the rows
and, holding up the leaves with one
hand. with the other shove up hand
full of dirt around the bottoms of the
plants to hold the leaves in an upright
position.
Immediately after the handling a
celery hitler Is run between the rows
and the dirt thrown up at least SIX
inches high around the plants. Later
on the hitler is used again. when the
dirt is thrown up MS high as possible.
Nothing more is done until trenching
time. Trenching White Plume celery
begins about Oct. 20. The process con
sists simply in digging trench about
one foot wide and deep enough so that
when the celery is placed in the trench
the tops will stick out about two
inches.
For digging IN attachment similar TO
an onion set harvester and made Mt
the blacksmith's Is fastened to two
horse riding cultlvator. The celery is
then pulled up by hand. most OF the
dirt shaken from the roots and the
broken and decayed leaves and suck
ers pulled off, 1t is then carried to
the trench. where man In the trench
packs 1t tightly in an upright position.
No dirt is placed around the roots.
The boards used in blanching celery
are nailed together shape and
placed over the trenches to keep off
rain and prevent sun and wind from
whiting the celery. Manure is then
placed in piles along the trenches. On
the approach of cold weather little
manure is placed along the bottom OF
the boards. and when the weather be-
comes very severe more manure is
added. Two inches Of manure over
the boards are usually enough. One
OF the secrets of keeping celery Is to
keeps the tops dry.
