The preparation is used largely for

Take of commercial sulphate OF
iron, fourteen pounds; commercial sui
phae of ammonia, four pounds; fine

The first two should be finely pow
dered and then all carefully mixed to-
Sether. Sea sand, potting sand or
builders sand is suitable if perfectly
clean and dry. When all mixed up
store in a dry. cool place. and if 1t
should become hard it must be pow
dered again. In dry weather three or
four ounces is sufficient for each
square yard. In wet weather double
the quantity should be used, and extra

lar plants. Commercial sulphate OF
iron is a cheap chemical. The appli-
cation of gentle heat to the sulphate
of iron by placing it in a pan or tin
on an oven or range will make it very
easy TO reduce to a fine powder.

WATCH FOR POTATO wART.

Every consumer and every producer
of potatoes should be on the watch
for the potato wart. The disease is
easy to recognize. 1t looks like a
big, rough seed wart. A fungous or
ganism is the cause of the disease
and as yet no cure for it has been
found.
The important thing now is to To-
cate every case of the disease in the
United States, so that the diseased
tubers may be destroyed and the
places where they grew auarantined.
II infested areas are reported
promptly the disease can doubtless be
stamped out with small inconvenience
from the quarantine. But II the dis
ease is allowed to spread, 1t may be
necessary TO suspend potato growing
IN relatively large areas for num-
Der of years. The thing to do, then,
Is to watch for the wart at digging
time, at shipping points and in public
markets, and If cases are discovered
report them at once to the State Col

chasers do not know how. and for that

sometimes receive.

Samuel s. Hale, editor of the Ok
ford Revie,o-TJmes confirms what has
been said of the Columbian raspberry
in these columns.
In writing to the College of Agricul-
ture at ithaca Mr.. Hale says:
Three years ago I set Columbia red
raspberries in two rows, each so feet
long. This season we have picked 20
quarts OF berries; last year about SO
quarts. The bushes have received
but little attention, are not thinned
and were not cultivated: but 1 did
prune them. i MANFRED the rows with
litter from the chicken house. The
berries took the place of apples
peaches and other fruit which is ordi-
narily used for canning, as our apple
crop was a failure and other fruit was
rot shipped in. Conditions are the
same this fall. Am going to set more
berries and set out currants and goose
berries also, and increase the number
Of hills of pie plant.
"All these are easily cared for. and
will stand considerable neglect
neglect is what they usually get-ex-
cept that currants and gooseberries
must be busted or sprayed with poison
in the spring, at least.
ut looks to me as If it would be
some years before we can depend on
fruit being shipped into the small
towns and people better begin to pro-
vide what they can Of their own"
There are other new varieties OF
raspberries well worth trying.

SULPHUR BENEFICIAL TO PLANT

Perhaps the most beneficial results
obtained from Gulphur as a preventive
of disease and as fungicide in the last
half of Che nineteenth century was the
old English method of mixing eight
barts of sulphur to two parts of lime
with sufficient water to make it the
consistency OF thick paint. This mix
ture was applied TO the warm flues in
greenhouses, then, later on, to the
warm water pipes, the sulphurous
gases from the mixture acting as a
moderately safe fungicide.

AUTUMN FOR TREE PLANTING

the nurseries is in good condition to
select from.
tree planted in the autumn ro-
mains in its place. dormant for sew
eral months. During that time the
soil settles and adjusts itself to the
tree, and the tree starts TO grow at
the first signs of spring
All trees car be safely planted in
the autumn, but it is advised not to
plant the stone fruits. such as peaches,
plums and cherries. until spring. Still
these have been planted frequently in
New Jersey and New York in the
autumn without loss.
II is important that trees to he
trarsplanted be taken up carefully,
carefully handled and planted.
Trees do not naturally live out of
the soil and when removed should be
at once covered with some damp ma
terial and protected from drying winds
and the sun. Then get them in the
soil again as quickly as possible and
with as little exposure as possible.
Dig the holes deeper than the long
est roots. Holes dug much deeper than
needed. with all stones removed and
the soft earth replaced, give the tender
young roots fine opportunity TO push
down into the soft soil, instead OF
meeting with hardpan to check their
growth and force shallow lateral ex-
tension. The same is true i'm making
the holes wider than necessary.
In setting the trees use water freely
and give them a mulch of manure or
lawn clippings to project them from

do rot propose to discuss isolated
cases OF extraordinary profits obtained

or even by cornerine the market on a
rare sort. In fact, stocking up heavily

show frequently finds the grower five
years later Offering the same at 20
per cent. OF the original cost.
There may be a dozen American
growers whose extensive catalogues
and large advertising OF several hun
dred varieties make their profit on
their acre Of soil n bonanza.
There are just two ways 10 make
money out of peonies, either by SELL
ing the roots or the flowers.
Leading up to the subject of profits,
let US consider the three contributing
factors thereto: first, the root; second,
the soil; and third, the labor.
Tho roots should be young and
healthy. II divisions are used have
them cut from plants not over four
years old and remove all but two
strong eyes to each piece of sound
tuber. The use OF one or two year old
plants saves some time, but on a given
investment the divisions are more
economical.
Most people prefer blooms of solid
colors and mass together in lawn
planting or in bouquets those of the
same shade. The number of varieties
carried, therefore, depends on the
amount of land available. as one must
cut enough blooms of a kind to make
. a shipment worth while and furnish
enough similar material to carry out
a decorative color scheme.
For example, a florist might want
500 Eugene Verdier, the famous
baby pink" for a reception. The Dos
sible range of varieties comprises four
very distinct scolors, namely, white.
light pink, deep pink and red. which
is the usual classification adopted for
exhibitions and by the cut flower trade.
In each of these four classes are
three well DEFENDED blooming periods,
the early, midseason and late. This
makes twelve sections to be repre-
scented as the goal set before each
grower in selecting his varieties and
testing out the sorts to finally grow.
Ultimately one may find it necessary
to carry two absolutely indispensable
sorts in some sections.
This building of a master list, into
which each tested variety must fight
its way by sheer demonstrated worth,
is very absorbing. In comparing the
painstalSing records which we annually
make We sometimes find an outstand-
ing variety like Madame Forel should
be finally dropped, because other kinds
have superseded it. In my personal
study in order not to be too exacting
