March. June was quite dry, and so was
the first half of July, and when the rainy
period occurred in July-August it caused a

menial to the setting of healthy fruit.
Then two weeks of very dry weather fol
lowed in August, which, in turn, was fol
lowed by another period of showery, muggy
weather, extending over the first two weeks
c ; ;teptember. Such weather as this was in
tie highest degree unfavorable to such crops
gs beans and tomatoes, and the result was
an almost complete failure of these crops in
every section where such conditions of
weather were experienced. The vines
Eiguted by wholesale, and the crops
amounted almost to nothing in various sec
tions of tbs country, and especially in the
south. In our section atm ispheric condi
tions could hardly have been more unfavor
able fcir the tomato, and it is only occasion

rain at the time the vines are setting their
fruit is very apt to prdduca blight in the
vines aod rotting of the fruit. The smaller
varieties are more likely to give better re
suhs than the larger kinds such seasons, but
these arc not cultivated to any extent now,
the larger growing kinds having almost en
tirely replaced them.
Of the larger kinds we have never found
any bother kind than the Paragon. The
Beauty is an esteemed kind. For home use
the small kinds are very desirable, as they
are surer and bear larger than the larger
varieties.
Winter Plowing—lt3 Benefits.
Ordinarily by the middle of Novem 1 er
all the crops of the southern farm are har
vested and a period of comparative leisure
begins which, with a very large number of
farmers, does not end before the middle
of January, even if it does
not intend into February. During
this period it is only a few farmers who
have any plowing done toward expediting
tli < work of the new year. There are thou
sands of small farmers who do not run a
furrow before tho middle of January, and
thare are a great many who postpone it un
til the Feb. 1. This is a mistake that it
-would be woll for formers to correct. What
nay be called the “rough-drafting” of
laud should, by all means, bo begun in De
cember, if not in November, and by Jan.
11) aU the land that it ib des.gned to plant in
c rn and cotton should have received its
preliminary plowing or “rough drafting”
which will greatly expedite the final prepa
ration tor planting.
Id is very common nowadays where farm
ers have secured a satisfactory horizontal
ami have established ditches at intervals to
maintain the run of the old rows by laving
off the new rows in the old middles, and bed
dmir out so as to plow up the old stalks m
ru; ning the last farrows. Ot course this is
well enougn if the land is of suoh a charac
ter as to allow of hoed crops following hoed
crops. But a wall-ordered system of farm
ing nowadays implies a considerable area
of stubble land to be plowed every season—
land on which hay and forage crops have
been made, or on which grain has been
grown and which has been allowed to grow
up in weeds for the sake of accumulad ig
vegetable mat er. Early in the winter the
preliminary preparation of this land
should begin, and the most expeditious and
satisfactory way is as follows:
With a good turn shovel run the first row
as near the horizontal as possible, and come
back on the bar side of this furrow, and
leave unbroken just as much of a ridge as
can well be broken open with a large,
round shovel. The two turn furrows
thrown together iu every alternate trips
rover up all the vegetable matter that oc
cupy the pace between them. It is not ex
pected to break the soil thoroughly at this
plowi g, but merely to gat the laud ridged,
and in so doing cover up the vegetable
matter so as to hasten its decomposition,
and to leave t he soil in a condition to be
acted on by the freezes that follows. With
a sharp, well-shaped turn shovel a fair
plowman can run these furrows so as to
make rows of uniform distance apart. It
is very rapid work, and perfectly adapted
to the purpo e of covering most of the
s'egetable matter. The final preparation
later in February or March will be made by
splitting open the ridge left between the
car sides, applying any fertilizer to the fur
row and then bedding back upon it. If one
adopt the plan of applying the fertilizer in
the siding or list furrows, it can be applied
over tlie ridge before it is split open. This
is much tne bettor plan.
Jd'ope I have made it plain, for it is a
Rood plan, and it is not the commoin prac
tice that it should he. Few small farmers
cave as yet adopted sulky plows with which
'hey can make one “land” of a fluid, and
•uectively turn under their stubble land.
106 P' an suggested is alma3t as expeditious
® s sulky plowing, so far as covering the
regulable matter is concerned, and the land
is left in fine shape for the beneficial action

Makinst Richer Manure.
A large part of the value of fer iliaars is
dne to the promptness of tbelr action, says
the American Cultivator. Stable manures
are always proverbially slow. They are
composed generally in great part of coarse
straw or other material used for bedding,
and, except from grain-fed animals, the ex
crement contains a ridiculously small pro
portion of available plant food. Fresh
dang is not available until some fermenta
tion takes place. Until warm weather in
cites this the stable manure does little good.
After the beats of summer begin, the
coarse manure in large amount may even
injure crops by increasing droughts. The
manure aoplieJ in spring is often only
brought into soluble form by autumn, when
fall rains and winter snows are ready to
wash away its most valuable portion into
ditches and rivers.
We believe heartily in stable manure, but
it is no desractioa from its value to wish
that it were more immediately available.
Two ways are open for doing this, one indi
rect, by feeding richer foods containing
more nitrogenous and mineral elements, and
the other direct, by adding to the manure
pile potash, phosphates and nitrates in the
concentrated forms in which they are fur
nished in commercial manures. This is
what may often be dona with great advan
tage. Stable manures are generally apt to
be deficient in phosphate, and the commer
cial phosphate contaius at best only very
small proportions of ammonia, though this
rather than the mineral is what gives grain
its more vigorous growth at the start. In
an ammon ated phosphate there is usually
only about 2 per cent, of ammonia, or in a
dressing of 160 pounds per acre about three
pounds.
It is evident, therefore, that a mixture of
the Dh >sphate with stable manure beuefits
both, by making and keeping both in availa
ble condition for crops.
A still greater improvement to most
manure heaps is the addition with the phos
phate of a dressi g. siy of twenty-five
pounds of nitrate of soda,evenly distributed,
to eacn load of manure. Eight loads of
such manure per acre would give a dressing
of 200 pounds of nitrogen in available
form, and do any crop more good than
either the phosphate or stable manure can
possibly do.
What is wanted in stable manure is a ten
dency to decompose rapidly, and nothing
better promotes this than nitrate of soda.
Fuosphate alone is liable quickly to revert
to insoluble forms, and nitrate of soda is the
best preventive of this. The ni rate of soda
is more expensive per ton than commercial
phosphate, but Is much more effective for
immediate results, and a comparatively
small amount per aore will produce a great
increase of crop. Since the discovery of
nitrate beds in South America, this fertil
izer can be procured much more cheaply
than was thought possible a few years ago.
It can now be haul for SSO to S6O per tou,
and possibly less. In appearance it resem
bles common salt, and should be made as
fine as possible before distributing, as a little
will, for most crops, be sufficient if it reaches
them all.
In every case where either nitrate of soda
or phosphate Is used to eurich manure,
clover should be sown if it is with a grain
crop, so as to leave something on the land
after the crop is removed. The nitrate is
very soluble, while the phosphate is liable
to revert and become useless until made
soluble again. Clover roots prevent the
loss of nitrates, while they greatly aid the
solublility of the phosphate which the soil
contains. Soils long cropped with wheat
produce good crops when clover is growu on
them, though only the roots are left in the
soil. Owing to its eolubility it is fetter to
defer the application of nitrate of soda to
land until spring, as otherwise much of its
value will be washed away by floods that
often occur the latter part of winter as the
snow goes off and the land is filled with
water.
Manurlal requirements of Grapes.
In the last few years considerable advance
has been made in the knowledge of all that
relates to the application of manures, says
J. J. Willis in Gardeners' Chronicle , and
not the least important is that which shows
us that there is a direct connection between
the supply of nitrogen to a plant, and the
formation of non-uitrogenous substance.
In experiments at Rothamsted with the
sugar-yielding root crops, it was fouud that
there was more sugar produced the larger
amount of nitrogen applied as niauure, al
though not iu prop >rtiou to the amount
supplied. Also that the efficiency of n
given supply of nitrogen is greatly depen
dent on the available minerals of the soil.
Taking the meai of many inv. stigations in
which potash formed an ingredient in the
manurial supply, it was found that one
pound of nitrogen iu manure yielded about
twenty pounds of sugar. Fresh ripe grapes
contain, on an average, about 20 per cent,
of sugar. Now sugar is aa organic sub
stauce composed of caruon, hydrogen and
oxygen, constituens which are derived from
the atmosphere a .and water. So that if noth
ing were taken from the soil but cure sugar,
there would be no loss of mineral constitu
ents. Bit it happens in practice that nearly
the whole of the constituents of the vine
cane, and of the leaves, are lost to the soil
Besides, the skin cf the berries, and the
seeds, contain a large proportion of alkaline
salts.
It is obvious, therefore, that in the growth
of grapes there is, besides vegetable matter,
a great loss of the mineral ingredients of the
soil. To show ti.e nature of inis loss, it may
be mentioned that a ton of grape i would
contain about nine pounds of alkaline salts,
wbic.i would be principally potash, besides
that removed by the growth of the wood
and leaves. So that nearly as much mineral
plant food would be lost to the soil as by the
growth of a corresponding quantity of
sugar cane.
It is extremely desirable, therefore, that
in all manurial applications to vines, both
phosphates and potash sales should outer
into its composition. Hence, we find Ville
stating that he used to think the Leg
uminosae, and the potato, were the plauts
w ich showed a spe ial preference for pot
ash, but he uow observes the vine distances
them iu this respect in a most surprising
manner. Iu the case of the potato the sup>-
pression of potash manifests itself by a di
minution of the crop; with tho vine, how
ever, little or no fruit makes its appear
ance, and we virtually get no crop at all.
Further, when potash and phosphates are
lacking, the leaves of the vines do not at
tain their full development In the mouth
of July, particularly, Prof. Ville has no
ticed that the leaves becomes red, and
spotted with black; after which they often
become very dry, and are easily re
duced to powder under the pressure of the
fingers.
Experiments with grapes at the State
College of Kentucky, U. S., recently, have
shown the effects of fertilizers containing
potash aud phosphates were very marked.
Tne vines s j treated were more thrifty, and
comparatively free from blight and disease,
which was more or less destructive on vine
areas not so treated.
Cabbage Insects.
The three most destructive insects in the
cabbage field are the cut worm, the green
worm and the harlequin bug. The latter
is more generally known in the south as the
Lincoln bug. W here it is at all abundant
it is a very difficult matter to grow cabbage
of the first quality. It is not only partial
to all the Brassica family of plants, but it is
equally destructive to horseradish. The
green worm and the cut worm are present
in more or less numbers every year, but like
the cotton worm they put in their appear
ance in destructive numbers periodically, in
the meantime doing but little damage. In
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 1891.
cabbags and other plants from
the ravages of the cut worm there are too
pla .s that ore usually effective. One is to
wrap a piece of paper arou id the stem of
the plant when it is transplanted, and tin
other is to dip the plants up to the leaver
into a mixture of clay ad cow manure, int
which a small quantity of kerosene ha
been stirred. Either of these preventives
are usually sufficient to pro eet the plant
untd it gets too large for the cut worm.
F r the green worm and the Lincoln bug
pvretbrum (or Buhack) mixed into some
wheat bran, and sprinkled over the plants
as soon as any appearance of insects are
made will usually prove a success. Those
who have tried it recommend sprinkling
with water scented with tar as a means of
expelliug the green worm. In fighting in
sects on edible plants line the cabbage noth
ing of a poisonous nature should be used.
Burning Strawberry Beds.
Cultivators do not agree as to the pro
priety of burning the old and dead leaves of
strawberry plantations, when it is intended
for them to bear another crop, says an ex
change. One successful strawberry raiser
stat -s that the plants grow up again sooner
and with more vigor after the burning. He
thinks it causes the soil to "mellow up" and
hold moisture better where it bos been
trodden by pickers, and weed seeds and in
sects are destroyed. Half-rotted straw was
used as a mulch, and all this rubbish was
handsomely cleared off. No immediate
cultivatiou" wn required. But other culti
vators object to the practice, believing that
the fire checks tue future growth, and that
the benefit derived from the ashe-. is not
equal to that obtained from the decaying
vegetable matter. There is no doubt that
the success of the burumg depends mu h on
the condition of eho crop, a moist so 1 being
less affected than a light and dry one, witn
the roots near the surface, and a continued
burning proving more injurious
thau a to nporary sweep of the fire by a
wind. The amount of dry rubbish would
have an important influence. It would be
well to try it on a portion of the patch, and
omit it on another portion.
A Remedy for Blind Staggers.
.4grin. Editor: I know an excellent remedy
for blind staggers in horses given me by an
old gentleman who was never known to
lose a case when called in time, and often
when ad thought it too late.
This is the remedy:
“One and a half ounce of gum camphor
dissolved in a half pint of whisky. Four
half of the mixture in a bottle, add about a
teacup of water and drench the horse.
Wait about three h urs and, if no better,
give the other half in the same way. No
water mu-t be given to the horse tor six
hours, but ho can have anything to eat.”
The sane old gentle nan never bled for
staggers, as he said the cause was all in the
stomach of the animal. H.
IN FIELD AND GARDEN.
Thoughts ApDroprlate to the Season.
Horses are liable to colds the same as
men, and that which causes a cold for one
may do so for the other. Are your stables
so arranged that you will risk getting a cold
yourself should you remain in tuem during
a sudden change of weather?
The amount of food that one horse may
thrive and do well upon may injure an
other, says a writer. It is as necessary to
know the capacity of the horse, as far as
his digestion is concerned, as it is to know
his strength and how muoh he is able to
pull.
The Lewiston Journal asked a number of
emine .t men what they considered the
great economic invention most needed at
the present time ad what t hey considered
the next one would be. A number of wriiers
spoke of electricity in use, but Hon. Ed
ward Atkinson considered cheap nitrogen as
plant food the greatest need and that the
next great invention would be some schotne
for transferring atmospheric nitrogen into
available plant food.
Considering how easily and cheaply
horseradish can be grown, it is inexcusable
for any family that has a square rod of
ground to be without it. The plant strives
best in rich soil, and once rooted is seldom
entirely got rid of. It is good any time
after t e old leaves stop growing, and until
new leaves start in the spring. As it can
not easily be dug when the ground is
frozen, enough for winter uso mav be gath
ered now, and kept covered with soil where
it will not freeze. The more freshly it is
grated the better, or at least stronger it is,
but any one who has grated it can well be
lieve it may be too strong. Horseradish is
an excellent appetizer, and it is claimed by
some that it has curative properties for
diseases of the throat and lungs.
If the cutting of viue or shrubs is to be
planted in the spring, it should none the
less be made uow. There is a process of
callousing at the lower end, from which
roots are to form, that requires time. Wuen
the cutting is severed from the parent
shrub or viue in early spring, and at ouoo
transplanted, its bu is start too buickly, aud
often perish because the root and es not form
fast enough to supply the needed sap. A
cutting prepared in the fall, kept in a cool
cellar, with its base in dry sand, will come
out in spring with buds hardly star ed, but
with a cadous and often little roots at its
base. There is never any trouble ab >ut
such a cutting growing if planted in dry,
rich soil, but not in contact with manure of
any kind.
If we select our own sows on the basis of
utility, says Col. F. D. Curtis in a wettarn
exchange, we should winter those with the
longest bcdte3. A hog with a long body
and a broad, level bacs will carry the larg
est amount of lean maat.as they then have a
long line from which roasrs aud stakos can
be cut. A hog formed in this way will have
good bones and not be so heavy in the
shoulders as a chunky one. The chunky
hog may have and doubtless will have,
hams which extend further behind and
deeper down; but such a hog will not be as
full from the hips to the base of the tail as
the long bog. It is a physiological fact
that a long-bodied liog will naturally have
long extremities; that is, a correspondingly
longer snout. lam of the opinion that an
extra foot of body is a full compensation
for an extra inch of nose.
It is the aggregate of little things that
makes success of almost auy business. The
last session of the New York Dairymen’s
Association declared:
1. Milk from healthy oows only should be
used.
2. Avoid excitement of the cows, pro
duced by chasing with dogs or in any other
manner. Harsh treatment lessens the
quantity and injures the quality of the
milk. .
3. Cows should have an abundance of
suitablo food and pure water, and salt
where they can have ready access to it
every day.
4. Cows should be kept from all foul odors
and not be allowed to eat or drink anything
that will give taint to the milk.
5. Milking should be done at regular
hours, with clean bands, clean udders and
clean stables, and the milk kept from any
contaninating odors.
6. Milk should be strained immediately
after being and awn, and not be disturbed
until creamed.

days your thoughts and your
purchases were for others.
Generous—proper. Now you
have a right to think of yourselves
again. What are you needing
in our line for your comfort?
Buy it—the winter season isn’;
half over So don’t try to
bridge along until spring with
your old clothes. You’ll feel
better if you are well dressed.
Everybody does.
By the way, we haven't taken
you into our confidence about
our Storm Coats. When you
DO need one, you know, you
need it badly, and in a hurry.
We ve a cheap line, taking the
price as a cue, but an extrava
gant lot of quality in them.
They’ll cover you from your
head to your heels—that's what
you want stormy days. Fair
weather Overcoats—plenty of
them. You can't help knowing
how stylish they are—enough of
them are on the streets this
season. Your kind of prices,
too.
