SHADE FOR WATER FOUNTAIN
Sun.Warmed Water ls Liable to Cause
Disorders in Old and Young
Fowls In Flock.

Sun-warmed water is apt TO be the
cause of diarrhea in old and young
stock. Scald the water vessels every
day, and keep them in the shade. A
stoneware jug makes good fountain
in hot weather. Tip it until the jugs
opening is just below the rim Of an
earthenware fower-pot saucer. Scald
frequently and put charcoal in the jug
occasionally. A mason fruit jar also
makes a good fountain.
In buying a drinking fountain, get
one which can be readily cleaned. Use
washing soda to clean occasionally,
and rinse well. A good sweetener is
the sun. Let the fountain get thor
oughly dry and summed once in a
while.

BLACK ROT IS MOST
INJURIOUS DISEASE
Trouble Occurs on Grapes Every
where and to Some Extent
on Different Varieties.
Clemson College Bulletin.)

The black rot is the most common
and most destructive disease of grapes
that we have. 1t occurs everywhere
and to some extent on all varieties.
Where the most resistant varieties
have not been selected and proper
control measures have not been insti-
tuted against this disease it has be-
come impossible to grow grapes sue
cessfully.
On the leaves it causes character
istic leaf spot which is grayish-brOWn
to dark brown in appearance. In the
center of these spots the small black
spore-producing bodies are formed.
This phase of the disease is frequently
very destructive to the foliage of the
rotundifolia or scuppernong type OF
grape and sometimes is found causing
trouble on the leaves of the bunch
grape. These spots develop on the
leaves soon after they unfold in the

Whale Ship Earns $s42, 900.

ford arrived at an Atlantic port re-
Gently after ten months voyage with
q cargo valued at $4,000. The most
valuable part of this cargo was lump
If ambergris which weighed 121
pounds and said to be worth $37, 600.
Old Down East whalemen say that
the Viola, which Is a small vessel of
)nly 139 tons, is one of the luckiest
whale hunters that ever sailed the
seas. She is only seven years old but
n that time has made four voyages in
which she has taken oil and ambergris
worth about $4,000.

LEGUMINOUS CROPS
AID SOIL FERTILITY
Most Profitable to Pasture Land
and Then PIOW Under What
Remains of Crop.

Every progressive farmer now
knows that leguminous crops are an
effective way of maintaining soil fer
tility, and for this reason the acreage
in them is constantly increasing. Ii
the whole crop is plOwed under, how
ever, 1t Is evident that there can be no
revenue from the land that year. 1t is
much more profitable, therefore, to
pasture the land and then to plOw
under what remains Of the crop to-
gether with the manure that is left on
the ground.
BARNARD manure contains q large
proportion of the fertilizing value OF
the substances fed the animals. In
the effect upon fertility, therefore, 1t
makes comparatively little difference
whether the crop or the manure II
produces is returned TO the soil. What
difference does exist Is much more
than offset by the profit that should
accompany the proper management OF
live stock.
All legumes make good pasturage
and their use for this purpose viii
minimize the need for more expen'
sive feedstuffs. The extent to which
this is done is one of the great factors
that make for success in the live stock
industry. The efficient use Of all farm
roughage, such as straw and stover
and of leguminOus crops will provide
the farmer with much valuable feeC
which may be said to cost him little OF
nothing, for giving it to animals does
not materially lessen its fertilizinG
value, and under ordinary circum
stances no direct cash returns are t
be expected from it.

We have had so many requests for
information about budding fruit trees
that we are giving directions In this
issue, as it is about the right time Of
the year to perform this operation. 1t
should be stated, however, that 1t
rarely repays the average man to go TO
the trouble tO'bud his own trees unless
he has some special varieties or
strains which he wishes to perpetuate.
Trees may now be procured more
cheaply from reliable nurserymen who
grow them In large numbers than they
can be grown In a small way by anna

ond, some well-develOped leaf buds
from the tree it is desired to perpetu-

budded on the sprouts which some
times spring up from the roots Of an
old plum tree or on small seedlings
which have been grown from plum
seeds. The amateur should not at

early summer and the fungus passes
from them to the fruit.
On the fruit the disease first ap-
pears as a dark brown spot with a
still darker band around the edges of
the diseased area. The fungus spreads
rapidly through the tissues until the
entire berry is affected. Later the ber-
ries shrivel up and remain on the
punches as dry, black mummies. The
fungus remains alive during the winter
In the diseased portions of the stems
or in the old diseased leaves and fruits
and the next spring the spores Of the
fungus spread the disease again to the
young leaves and fruit.
Control Measures.
Some varieties are more resistant
to the disease than others. On the
rotundlfOlia type the disease causes
serious damage to the leaves, but does
not seem to injure the fruit to any ex-
tent.
On the bunch grapes (abrusca and
vinefora types) the disease is not very
injurious to foliage, but is very de-
structive to the fruit. Some of these,
however, are more resistant than
others.
The disease is prevented by destroy
ing the old diseased leaves and fruit
and by spraying with bordeaux mix
ture. Where it is necessary to resort
to spraying one application of bor-
deaux should be made as soon as the
leaves unfold and another as soon as
the fruit is set. After this weather
conditions and the severity Of the dis
ease will determine the number Of ap-
plications. Ordinarily it would be ad-
visable to make an application every
two weeks until the fruit begins to
rlpen. You would use for these sprays
bordeaux mixture 4-4-50, except the
first application which should be s.
