FOR FARM AND WARDEN. soil. VOIt PLANTS IN POTS. The best soil for plants in pots is to be found in well-rotted turf, or at least sufficiently rotted to destroy the life it the roots of grass, then the coarser the better, as the growing plants will con¬ sume it as wanted. The provident gerdener or amateur will always have a pile of sods in some out-of-the-way place, where it will decay and be ever ready for potting purposes, Some of the best rose growers in our country use nothing else for their young roses, and there can be nothing better*, others, in piling up the sods, alternate ,the layers with stable manure. This makes a good compost, but as a congenial home for worms and grubs which are destruc¬ tive to the plants. For the beat results use sod only, and make an occasional application of some reliable concen trated plant food, but use in modera¬ tion.— American Agriculturist. PLANT TREKS ON WASTE PLACES. Nearly every farm has one or more acres not worth cultivating or fencing, which might easily be turned to forest growth. It is especially desirable to clothe the high hilltops with trees, not only as protection against winds, but for the effect it would have in prevent¬ ing the hillsides becoming parched by drouth. Trees on the top of a hill serve to hold the moisture in the ground and keep the whole hill more moist. The more generally the hilltops are covered with forest the less bleak will be tbe country and less violent the winds sweeping unresisted over the country. Every forest patch is a wind¬ break, and the more of these the less will the inhabitants be annoyed by cold and high winds. Many tender fruits do not flourish at all well now, while years ago, before the forests were so generally destroyed, they grew finely. Delicate pears that formerly matured perfect fruit without trouble have be¬ come almost worthless for cooking, be¬ cause of the inclemency of the climate due to destruction of forests. — Massa¬ chusetts Ploughman. rOTATO ROT. From a bulletin of the New Jersey Experiment Station we make the fol¬ lowing extract as to the treatment of field and crop where potato rot prevails: lt is evident that after the vines have been killed there can be no further growth of the tubors, and as the disease first attacks the leaves and tips of the vines, and works downward towards and finally into the tubers, it follows that tlicro can bo no loss in yield, and • great possible gain in health fulness, by early digging. As a rule, the potatoes should be removed from {he soil as soon as possible after the vines have been “struck” by the rot. The dead vinos abound in the spOTei of the disease, and it ,is possiblo for the tubers to bo infected by contact with the vines at tho time of digging. Therefore, it is an important and in¬ expensive precaution to rake the vines into a heap and burn them before tho potatoes are dug, at the same time de¬ stroying millions of germs of the rot, some of which might otherwise do injury elsewhere. Tho samo conditions favor (he rot after as before digging, and therefore the dug tubers should be left to dry thoroughly; then tho sound ones may be stored where they can be kept dry, cool, and with a good circulation of fresh air. A damp, warm, close cel¬ lar favors tho growth of the * rot. Air slaked lime, a handful or so per bushel, may be dusted over the freshly harvest¬ ed potatoes, to destroy any adhering germs.— American. Cultivator. HARVESTING THE APPLE CROP. In picking the fruit I have adopted this mode: In an orchard of fifty acres I have men and women go over and pick the fruit and pile it in heaps. Then 1 go in with barrels right after the pickers and barrol them, The less you can handle fruit, the better it is for the keoping qualities of that fruit. The only advantage gained by piling in heaps and carting to the barn is this: If an apple is bruised or disfigured, a few days will disclose the bruise, that is all. I have tried both ways, and I say to you, from my experience, barrel your fruit as you pick it and head it up. Some say the apple will sweat. So it will; every time the apple is colder than the surrounding atmosphere it will con¬ tinue to sweat. In barreling apples great pains should be taken. One of the great sources of depression in the apple market l^st year was tho poor quality of apples put up. A man or woman who would stuff A barrel of apples on the inside with in¬ ferior fruit indulges in a most con temp. tible practice. You all understand facing apples at the end. Put good apples in the barrel—good merchantable apples. I don’t want to say that the apple* in the middle of the barrel should be a* fine as they are at the ■temmed end, b«caute the fint look, the fint impression is the best and helps to sell. Put everything in your barrel that is marketable. Use three bushel barrels, because that is the recognised size. Press tight; don’t be afraid be¬ cause there may be an apple braised in pressing. If they are pressed as they ought to be they trill ship better than if put in slack. Another question is bow to market your apples. If you can get from seventy-fire cents to a dollar a barrel for your fruit in your orchard or delivered at the station or market place near you, I advise you every time to sell it .—Nett England Homestead. STACKING GRAIN. George E. Newell says in the AmerL can Agricultural: There is no reason why every farmer’s boy should not learn the art of properly stacking grain and hay. Nearly every farmer can stack grain after a fashion, but-not one out of fifty can build up a trim, symmetrical, rain-proof stack. Select the site of the desired stack remote from the shade of any building or grove, and arrange the bottom so that there will be a free cir¬ culation of air underneath. The plan of preparing a concave bottom, to give stability to the rick, is not desirable, on account of the natural tendency of the layers of sheaves to settle into a concave position also and make a hollow in the center of the stack, the very thing most to be avoided. Fix a firm, slightly con¬ vex foundation out of stout poles or scantlings, and imbed in the ground short corner uprights, to give rigidity to the bottom of the stack. Put down first a layer of straw and then be¬ gin the stack. Put a circle of sheaves, with the butts out, around the convex center. Crowd them tightly together, and keep the butts on an even circle. Lay another circle around the first in the same way, allowing the sheaves of the second circle to lap half of their length on the first. Follow the same practice until the limit of the bottom is reached, and then be¬ gin at the center again. A stacker should be on his knees all of the time, and compress the bundles snugly as ha follows the circle around. Let the out¬ side ring of the second layer project very slightly over the foundation layer, and repeat until the middle of the de¬ sired stack height is reached. Then place oach success ive layor a little nearei the center, and gradually bring to a tapering peak. It is of vital impor¬ tance that the center of the stack shall be kept more full and cone shaped all the way up than is really wanted. It will flntten out greatly by settling. A steep, smooth pitch is imperatively re¬ quired in the “roof” part of the stack. Straw should not be discolored by wet and exposure more than a few inches on the butts of the outside shoaves. It is a good plan to cap the poak with a thatching of broad-leaf marsh grass, and hang rails over the peak connected by a hay rope, to hold it on. Grain properly stacked in the manner de¬ scribed will come through wet weather without damage to a kernel of its growth, if its thoroughly dry when put up. There is enough grain spoiled an¬ nually on farms by bad stacking to pay for the erection of many a commodious barn. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Laboi all seeds when put away. Sow spinach now for spring use. Millet as a weed-killer has no equaL Pasturing meadows is at best pooir economy. t Save the best and earliest ears ot sweet corn for seed. Farming is apt to be a poor business when the farmer is poor. The lawn and garden should now make their best appearance, and perfect neatness should prevail. Sell when the stock is ready; and good management consists in having them ready when they are wanted. As manure is usually kept, at least one-half, and frequently a greater pro¬ portion, is wasted by leachings and tbe escape of ammonia. Very little good is done by cutting down weeds that are in full bloom unless they are burned before they are dry. Cut the weeds before they bloom. A dairyman who can secure no more than 150 pounds of butter as the annual production of each cow may set it down ns n fact that there is something wrong in his management or he has exception¬ ally poor cows. A western farmer saved his barley and corn from the chinch bug by throw¬ ing two furrows together, staking a six inch board on edge on top of the back¬ ing and keeping the boards smeared with kerosene and coal tar. Make a careful and constant baro¬ meter of yourself by practice in noting every change of wind or cloud. Thirtj or forty years’ experience may be help, ful if one always lives in the same lo¬ cality. Such knowledge is particularly valuable in the harvest aesum- , tea Passat *tsn you Suffer from any of the weak¬ nesses irregularities" *----sex, and “functional try the d» use or ur. tiercel Favorite Prescription yoa ««» routUis put ttte enemy of ill-heslth ana happiness to the only medicine for woman, sold i»r its, under a positive guarantee of i in every case, or money refunded.
