How Loss Of Seeding Plants Through
"Damping Off" May Be Avoided
With Little Trouble.

Many millions Of Seeding plants are
lost annually by what is generally
termed "dampfng off," It may be OBJ
served in the sudden collapse of the
little plants at the neck or ground
level, and usually occurs while the
seedlings are still in the seed pan,
though 1t also may happen even after
they have been transplanted. 1t is
due to the work Of a minute fungus,
and brought about by excessive mois-
ture in the soil or atmosphere, condi-
ton the fungus quickly takes advant-
age of to get in it's deadly work.
To prevent such conditions, the soil
must be sufficiently porous so that wa
ter will soak into it quickly. Water 10,
given only when needful, and so early
in the day that the foliage of all tender
seedlings will be thoroughly dry before
night ventilation to keep the air pure
also will tend to ward off disease.
'Damping off, also may be checked
by placing a thin layer Of sharp sand
oyer the surface of the soil, or light
busting of flowers of sulphur also may
combat the evil.
Guard against sowing seed too thick
ly, for, should the majority terminate,
the seedlings will be SO close to one
another that they will not dry out
eadily.-Country Gentleman.

Old Plea for Gardens.

plantations have one advantage in
them which is not to be found in most
other works, as they give a pleasure
of a more lasting date, and continually
improve in the eye of the planter.
When you have finished a building, or
any other undertaking Of the like ma
ture, it Immediately decays upon your
hands; you see it brought to the ut
most point of perfection, and from
that time Fastening to it's ruin. On
the contrary, when you have finished
your plantations they are still arriving
at greater degrees of perfection as
long as you live and appear more de-
lightful in every succeeding year than
they did in the foregoing. But I do
not only recommend this art to men Of
estates as a pleasing amusement, but
as it is a kind Of virtuous employment,
and may, therefore, be inculcated by
moral motives; particularly from the
love which we ought to have for our
country, and the regard which we
ought to bear to our posterity."
The extract is from an essay by Jo-
seph Addison, which appeared in the
London Spectator August %, 1714.
England did about as Addison suggest
ed, with the result that English gar
dens are noted the world over, and
Englishmen are better for them.

SuDSt1tut1ons for the horse have so
Iar tailed to diminish his number on
farms, where he is mostly bred. The
railroad did not verify the common
prophecy OF the horses gloomy future
nearly century ago, and many years
elapsed before the heyday of the BIZ
cycle arrived with its expected menace

the electric street railway, and this
was formidable one. Street-car serv-
Ice could not have been developed by
horses to the extent that it has been
carried by electricity, yet there was an
enormous displacement of horses
when they no longer pulled street cars.
1t is roughly estimated that 1000, 900
horses would be required to move the
street cars now in city service, and
that farmers would need to keep q
stock of perhaps 100000 horses to
produce this supply. Yet, horses kept
on increasing.
Apparently the most effective foe of
the horse has appeared in the last ten
years in the motor vehicle, although
it's Importance. in this respect is pop.
ularly exaggerated. According to sta
tistics collected by the United States
department Of agriculture, the total
state registrations of motor cars were
$4,000 in 1905, about 100000 in 1910.
over 100000 in 1912, over 2,4OO, 900 in
1915, and 3,512,996 in 1915.
Automobiles do not merely displace
horses but many are used by men in
occupations dependent on either horses
or automobiles for personal movement,
such as real estate agents, builders,
and some merchants and manufactu-
rerS, and there is also the large public
automobile passenger service in cities
and, again, the large number of auto
driving horses.
With motor trucks and commercial
vehicles the case is different. Here is
clearly complete substitution of fuel
power for horse power. 1t is the opin-
ion that every motor truck on the av-
erage displaces three horses. The state
records often merge the registration

The LeghOrn, Minorca, Andalusian,

particulars mentioned, yet has more
the character of the laying class than
of any other.
In the meat breeds, there is not the
same uniformity Of type that is found
in the laying breeds. The three men,
toned differ decidedly. The Brahma
is most popular because it is at the
same time the largest and the most
rugged in constitution. The Dorking
excels in quality of meat, but is gen.
orally considered somewhat lacking in
hardness. The Cornish is rather
hard-meated, but, being very short
feathered, has it's special place as a
large meat-prOducing fowl in Souther~
~ sections where the more heavily
feathered Brahma does not stand the
summer well.
Among the popular breeds of the
generalpurpose class there are also
differences in type, adapting breeds to
different uses. The Plymouth Rock
is generally regarded as the type meet
ing the widest range of requirements
in the general-purpOse class.
The Wyandotte is a little smaller
and earlier maturing, but still very
well meated and easy to fatten.
The Rhode Island Red has nearly
the same standards of weight as the
but is more active bird,
not putting on fat so readily. COnse-
Quently it approaches the laying type
and is popular with those who want
eggs and meat but want eggs most.
The OrpingtOn is at the other eX-
IRENE in the general-purpose class be-
ing heavier, meatier fowl than the
Plymouth Rock.
Such list of breeds affords so wide
a range Of choice that poultry keep
ers can always select a standard breed
better adapted to their locality and
their purpose than any nonstandard
stock they can procure and having
the further advantage of Drmducin0

If the thrashing machines of the
country wasted only three Or four
bushels of grain out Of every thousand
they thrash, the loss of wheat alone in
the United States every year would
equal quantity sufficient to furnish a
normal supply of bread to a million
people for nearly half year. The pres
ent Importance of keeping thrashing
machines at their highest point of eff
cheney thus is easily seen.
1t is probably not possible to save
all the grain, even with the most eff
Gent operation under the best field
conditions. However, the careless op-
orator who does not know just what
the different parts of his machine are
for, or who does not watch them close
ly while the separator is running, may
waste great amount of grain unnec-
essarily. He will surely have to make
frequent stops for repairs and adjust
ments. Every time a machine stops,
the whole crew, usually several men
and teams, must be idle until it starts
again, q loss Of time to everybody con-
cerned.
Failure to Separate.
If a machine fails to separate all
the grain from the straw, it is usually
due to one or more of the following
causes: ID The machine is not being
run at its proper speed, (2) it is being
crowded beyond its capacity, 90 the
cylinder fails to thrash all the kernels
out Of the heads, (4) the separating
mechanism is not level, or 60 the
blast is not adjusted properly.
Cracked grain is another source of
waste which may become serious.
Cracked grain may be due to excessive
speed of the cylinder, to the cylinder
being too close to the concave teeth,
or to grain being returned in the tail
ings elevator and run through the CYL
Under repeatedly. Loss both from poor
separation and cracked grain can be
prevented in a large measure by proper
adjustment of the machine and atten-
ton to it while in operation.

DEVOTE STUDY TO GARDEN
Properly Planted Land Of Value Both
to the Owner and to the
Community.

1t is wise course to plan food pro-
duction in systematic way so that
the garden will give satisfactory re-
suits. Study methods of cultivation
on all products. When buying onion
sets, for example, see If there are
not other food crops which are better
procured in a state of growth than in
seeds. All gardens need horseradish
and rhubarb, which are best started
from roots, and these can be bought
from almost any dealer. Rhubarb
will thrive in any odd bit of ground.
It will be ready for use the second
year. It is a valuable crop as we'll
as being hardy and prolific.
HOrseradish also is commonly grown
from roots or sets and not from seed.
Some claim they have the best sue
cess growing it after the early cab
bage, beets, etc. The crop is dug in
the fall, the small roots being removed
and cut into sets four to six inches
long. The top end is cut square and
the bottom slanting SO there will be
no mistake in planting. These are
tied in bundles and kept over winter
in sand. When planting time comes
small holes are made with a light
crowbar OR long stick and the sets
dropped in and covered two or three
inches deep so that they do not come
up until midsummer. Any deep, rich,
well-drained soil will answer for horse
radish.
