Truck growers and greenhouse men
In the Eastern states are finding 1t
increasingly difficult to secure sup
ply of stable manure, and some grow
ers have adopted the practice of keep
ting q small heru of cows or other
stock for the purpose OF supplying
manure, and as a means OF utilizing
surplus or waste material. The prob
lem of maintaining soil fertility un-
der present conditions was discussed
at the recent meeting of the Vegetable
Growers Association of America, at
Albany, N. Y, and it was the opinion
of the vegetable growers and state
federal workers present that the prac-
tice of keeping live stock is to be
strongly recommended in sections
where this can be done profitably.
Scarcity of Plant Food.
The head of the vegetable garden
department of the Massachusetts Agri-
cultural college reported that: "A
study of the census shows that the de-
crease in horses in Massachusetts,
from 1910 to 1920 is such that 1900
fewer acres can now be furnished
with 20 tons of stable manure per acre
than In 1910. To offset this loss In
plant food, which was formerly OBJ
tanned from stable manure, will re-
quire the expenditure Of between ST.
100000 and $1,4OO,OO0 Even then we
lack that all-important effect Of the
inoculated organic matter contained
In manure and fer which no equally
efficient substitute has been found"
While this d.sregards the cost OF
the manure formerly used to supply
the plant food, it is probable that 1t
was much less than the cost Of the
fertilizer now purchased. This prob
lem is not confined to any one state,
but with few local exceptions is be-
ing felt throughout the territory in
which vegetable crops are grown for
the markets
At the Lexington (Mass.) field sta
ton, which is conducted under the di-
rection Of the State College Of Agri-
culture as an experiment station, what
are termed manure economy investi-
cations" are being conducted. In these
tests the use Of stable manure in mod
crate quantities is being supplemented

Use for Gyroscope.

Very successful 1t appears, have
been the experiments which for some
years have been made with form
Of the gyroscope. which is intended
to correct errors of the mariners
compass and, In certain cases, such as,
for instance, In submarine boats, to

in one case Is based upon the ten

axis of rotation In a fixed position. II
the axis Is set to correspond with the
course of the ship any change in the

the rotation Of "rose," or compass
card, within which the gyroscope is
suspended. Deviations Of the mag

can be caused to act either as mag

pounds of high-grade commercial fer
tilizer should also be spread over each
square rod of ground and well raked
into the soil few days before plant
ing the onion ''sets." Poultry and sheep
manure are both good fertilizers for
onions, but must be used sparingly and
well mixed with the soil to prevent
burning the onion roots.
Onions grow very quickly and re-
Quire frequent shallow stirring Of the
surface soil. The usual method is to
plant the "sets" in rows about 10
inches apart and to 5 inches apart in
the rows, covering them just so the

tops will be below the surface. A mar
row steel rake is a good tool for work
ing between the rows at first, but later
as the onions attain some size wheel
hoe can be used. For the very first
workings and for getting between the
individual plants in the rows there Is
nothing better than short piece OF
lath with three wire brads driven
through 1t at one end, making what Is
known as "scratcher." BY and by
the onion tops will get so large that
they almost fill the spaces between the
rows and hand wedding may have to
be resOrted to in order to keep the
crop free from weeds.
About the time the onions begin to
enlarge at the base, or to BOTTOM" as
the growers say, it is good plan to
scatter very little nitrate Of soda,
not more than two pounds to the
square rod, over the soil between the
rows and work it In with hoe or
rake. This will stimulate the growth
just at the time that the plants most
need little extra food and will usual
ly increase the yield.

FINE SOIL FOR ROOT CROPS
Carrots, Parsnips and Satisfy Want to
Grow Straight, but CIods
Work Injury.

Do you want long, straight carrots,
parsnips, and satisfy, or crooked,
forked ones? Ask your wife; she has
to peel them. All these roots have
good intentions; they want to keep
straight, but they cannot stand adj
versity nor withstand temptation. If
they strike rocks or clods on the way
down, they become forked or twisted,
and If Jumps of stable manure are in
the soil, they bend toward these or
send out branches in that direction.
Dig extra deep, making the soil fine
and mellow where these crops are to
grow, and see that all manure is finely
pulverized and all fertilizer thorough
ly mixed with the soil.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 30
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmers Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

GROW CROP OF LATE CABBAGE
Land That Has Been Utilized for Peas,
Potatoes or Beans ls Usually
Made Use OF.

Late cabbage is usually grown on
land that has been utilized for peas,
early potatoes, or beans during the
early part Of the season. The seed
should be sOwn In a seed box or
special outdoor bed four to six weeks
before the plants are needed for set
ting. The seed should not be sOwn too
thickly, and it Is good plan to thin
the plants to an even stand in the seed
bed, so they will develop uniformly.
The land on which late cabbage il
grown should be well fortified, and
the plants set 10 to 20 inches apart in
rows three feet apart.

by commercial fertilizers, sOil-building

Of maintaining soil fertility.
Waste Is Utilized.
Growers of canning crops such as
peas and sweet corn have for years
past followed the practice Of utilizing
the vines, fodder and other waste in
the form of silage for the feeding of
sheep, beef cattle, or dairy cows, this
practice, supplying them with large
quantities of manure. Renewed atten-
ton is now being directed to this
practice, and in sections where the
European corn borer has made its ap-
pearance many growers have found
It desirable to erect silos for the utill-
cation of the surplus material, feed
ing this to their stock, thereby secur-
ing manure for their crops, and also
largely controlling the corn borer.
The United States Department of
Agriculture strongly recommends
these practices wherever conditions
will warrant the keeping Of live stock.
