SANITARY nOG TROUGH,
other correspondent sends a sketch of
a Twice for preventing it. He says;
The notched board must be high
•- a h that the hogs cannot get their
le ans over it, and they will keep their
feet out. We just drove a stake down
at each end of the trough and nailed
the trough to the stakes. Then we ran
the notched board lengthwise of the
trough and nailed to the stakes. This
will do when you feed in one place all
the time. If you want a movable
trough, make the end boards longer, so
that the trough will not upset, and nail
a solid strip to each end, long enough
to nail the notched board to it. Do not
let the notches come down lower than
the top of the trough. Wo have had
clean troughs ever since we adopted
this plan.
Hemp Industry on New Lines.
According to ollicial report, our im
ports of hemp liber for the past five
y- ars have averaged in value $67S,475
annually, coming chiefly from Italy
and southern Russia. This hemp is
Wurth about 7 cents per pound and . is
used principally in the manufacture of
carpet warps. In addition, we import
an unknown but doubtlessly large
amount of manufactured hemp in the
i -mi of the cheaper grades of linen.
The domestic product of hemp report-
1 d by the last census, at a valuation of
3 cents per pound, was worth $090,000
ami was grown chiefly in Kentucky.
This hemp is used principally in place
of jute butts for cordage purposes.
The Kentucky hemp producers grow a
short plant in small areas with shallow
P .wing and little or no fertilizing.
The crop is reaped and broken by
I nd, and the fiber is extracted by the
process of dew retting. In addition to
these heavy charges, an annual rental,
averaging probablv $10 per acre, is or-
dmanly paid for (lie land. It is stated
twit there is a reasonable prospect of
cs'.alilisliing an extensive hemp indus
try in tlie United States on new lines,
involving ihc use of either a taller va
riety or two crops of the short variety,
growing tiie crop on large areas of
cheap laud, plowing deep, putting on
the necessary fertilizers, reaping and
i reaking"~by machinery and using tlie
process of water retting.
Alfalfa In tlie Sontliwest.
-Mfaifa lias a long taproot aud will
not do well on soils with bard pan
' lose to tlie surface. It thrives best on
soils that have been plowed deep and
well cultivated. Early plowing for
spring sowing is an advantage, as it
rives the soil time to settle and become
tilled with moisture before sowing. Tbe|
seed should be sown as soon as the soil
is in good condition in the spring.
Alien tbe plants are about six inebesj
high, they should be cut with a mower,
sot high and this operation repeated at!
intervals of two or three weeks until,
the weeds are left behind tbe alfalfa ini
growth’. This method proved suceess-1
ful at the Oklahoma experiment sta
tion last season.

AGRICULTURE UP TO DATE.
I’oiiUs From Secretary Wilson’s Re-
porl For
Much work has been undertaken on
bclmlt of tobacco, looking to as wide
a substitution as possible of home
grown for imported product, by im
proving the quality of the former. In
teresting investigations as to the
causes affecting flavor and aroma are
being carried on.
From a study of the imports df Den
mark, especially of American grains
and oilcake, the secretary concludes
strongly against a policy which steril
izes” our lauds at the same time that
it supplies, other countries with the
means of producing meats and dairy
products for foreign markets which
we could ourselves supply.
The interesting fact is noted that the
tea gardens at Summerville produced
3,000 pounds of tea the past season.
Irrigation experiments, improvement
of varieties by importation and by
hybridization, are indicated as impor
tant steps to be studied.
In regard to public lands the secre
tary deplores the ill results of inju
dicious grazing due to the indifference
of the occupiers under the present sys
tem. ILe advocates leasing in large
areas and for a sufficient time to in
vite improvement and suggests that
llie revenue from sneli leases might
be turned over to the states for edu
cational purposes or irrigation.
Of tlie abandoned farms of New
England he says that they are not
abandoned on account of sterility; that
they will be studied by the soil physi
cist, agrostologist and the forester,
and the valuable suggestions resulting
from their studies will be distributed
throughout Now England.
The secretary discusses the subject
of irrigation at considerable length,
giving strong reasons for a general
study of the whole subject. He points
out the wide difference in laws and
methods prevailing in the different
states dependent upon irrigation and
states that most important rivers have
streams supplying irrigation to half a
dozen states. Inevitably, under these
circumstances, differences will arise
calling for legislation by congress,
which should, therefore, he put in
possession of all the facts affecting
this important subject as early as pos
sible. He also points out that the use
fulness of this investigation is by no
means limited to the arid region, but
that irrigation could be profitably em
ployed in large areas in the eastern
and southern states.
Our imports of oranges, lemons, co-
coanuts, bananas, aud especially cof
fee, of which in 189S we imported over
$65,000,000 worth, could, in large part,
be produced in Porto Rico. The secre
tary especially recommends experi
ments in the production of india rub
ber, for which we are now largely de
pendent upon Brazil.
ORANGE CULTURE.
A SACK HOLDER.
Holder Foi Sacks.
An Iowa Homestead correspondent
sketches and describes a sack bolder
which he finds useful: Take two strips
1 by D4 inches
by 42 inches long
and nail them
together by two
pieces of lath 17
inches long, one
at the top aud
one at the bot
tom. Then get
two pieces of
board 18 inches
long and nail
them on the out
side of the con
cern. Then brace
crossways with
lath. The hooks
should be three
inches from tlie
top. They can be made of tenpennywire
nails driven through, then tiled sharp
(so as not to tear the sack) and bent
into shape. All braces should be ou op
posite side of the hooks. For filling
sacks a tin pail answers better than a
scoop shovel.
The World’s Wheat Crop.
According to Broomhall: World’s
wheat crop of 1899, 2,496,400.000 bush
els; world’s wheat crop of 1898, 2.S8G.-
144,000 bushels; world’s wheat crop of
1897. 2.209.352.000 bushels. This makes
the crop of 1899 fall short of that of
last year by 389,744,000 bushels, though
exceeding that of 1807 by 227,048,000
bushels—that is, according to Broom-
hall's estimate, it is considered better
than the very short crop of 1897, but
decidedly nearer to that than to the
large oue of 1898.
News and Notes.
The United States department of
agriculture has in press and will soon
issue bulletin No. 72, office of experi
ment stations, entitled “Farmers’
Reading Courses.” The bulletin was
prepared by Professor L. H, Bailey,
M. S., professor of horticulture iu Cor
nell university, and gives a history of
the organization of farmers’ reading
courses, which have become an im
portant factor among the agencies for
diffusing knowledge and promoting
enthusiasm among the farmers. The
bulletin contains lists of books used in
various reading courses.
No marked crop departure from the
ten year average is noted for any of
the principal tobacco growing states
this season, says the crop circular.
The indicated average yield per acre
of potatoes, according to government
reports, is 88.7 bushels per acre, as
compared with 75.2 bushels last year,
64.6 bushels iu 1897 and 75.2 bushels,
the mean of the preliminary averages
of the last tea years. The average per
cent of quality is 91.4.
Practical forestry in the Adiron
dack?, bulletin No. 20, contains an ac
count of work accomplished under the
offer made in 1898 by the agricultural
department to assist farmers, lumber
men and others in handling their for
est lands.

How It Is Carried cn In tie Gulf
Coast Country.
“Orange growers have learned, as pro
ducers of every olhei kind of fruit
have learned or must learn, that much
care is necessary in selecting the prop
er varieties if oue expects to meet with
the largest degree of success, and, as
it is just as cheap to propagate aud
care for a fine variety as oue of medi
ocre quality, the average orange plant
er of today is as careful to obtain trees
of only the best budded varieties as the
majority of the orange growers of a
few decades back were firm in their be
lief that ‘a sweet orange is a sweet or
ange’ and that sweet seedling orange
trees were as desirable as the budded
ones. With, therefore, quite a large
list of fine budded varieties to select
from, we have, in selecting varieties to
plant iu any given locality, to consider
first what particular requisites the
trees and fruit must possess in addi
tion to fine quality, without which no
fruit is of value for commercial pur
poses.
“For north Florida aud the coast
country of Mississippi, Alabama, Lou
isiana aud Texas we find the first req
uisite to be hardiness aud the second
earliness in ripening. With a hardy
variety, able to withstand a consider
able degree of cold, we can expect fruit
during normal seasons, and if this fruit
ripens early we can have it marketed
and out of danger early in the winter,
and then, by a system of banking, we
can protect the trees, or at least their
budded trunks aud a portion of their
lower limbs, so as to have the nucleus
of a future orchard even if, as was the
case last winter, we experience a sea
son of almost unheard of severity.”
So says a writer in Texas Farm and
Ranch, and in this connection he points
out the great protection afforded the
trees by tbe banking above alluded to.
“Explain it liow we may, there is a
virtue iu old Mother Earth when used
as a blanket or wrapper for her vege
table progeny that is unexcelled. Of
course we cannot cover up full grown
orange trees to the tips of their top
most growth with earth, but we can.
and the majority of us in northern
Florida do, bank them up to a height
of three to* four feet from the ground,
and this on a tree grown iu the low
branched, stock form that an orange
tree always ought to he made to as
sume extends well up into the lower
limbs. Above that point the dense fo
liage of the tree serves to break the ef
fect of the morning sun, and the frozen
wood thaws out gradually without
splitting, as it is apt to do on the trunk
below if unprotected.”
THE BISMARCK APPLE.
Fruit n Handsome Giant—Tree ft
Heavy and Sure Cropper.
“Among recent novelties that have
surely come to stay is this new hand

deficiencies in the matter of flavor—

Breaking- Down Corn Stubble.
Concerning the thrashing down of
corn stybble in fields that are to
be planted iu oats an Ohio Farmer
correspondent advises that the work
be done when the ground is frozen
hard, with an inch or less Snow ou.
Get a straight pole about 33 feet long
and about 4 inches in diameter at the
smallest end. This will reach across
eight or nine rows. Cut two notches
around it about eight feet apart. Cut
the notches nearer the butt than the
top of the pole, as it Is larger and heav
ier at that end, and then fasten a log
chain around it in each notch and bring
the ends together and fasten to the
CORN STUBBLE BREAKERS.
clevis of the doubletrees, as in Fig. 1.
He thinks this is a better way than
harrowing down corn stubble in the
spring, as the stub will be broken off
from the root and will not be so much
in the way in cultivating and drilling.
As an amendment to this plan anoth
er writer suggests the use of two poles
instead of one. fastened together as
shown in the second figure, which he
says will work better. Bore two inch
auger holes in poles aud use good,
tough pieces three feet long for cross
pieces. Put the large end of the one
with the small end of the other. Not
more than 25 feet in length is advised
unless the ground is very level.
APPLE BISMARCK.
notice. After all, quality and flavor
are not everything iu au apple. But
there is much couflictiou of opinion iu
regard to Bismarck, lavish praise aud
condemnation beiug about equal.
“Iis quality certainly does—not com
mend it very highly as a dessert ap
ple, but a strong point iu its favor is its
early bearing, and Jjiis point may de
velop to be one of considerable impor
tance. According to reports from Eng
land, Bismarck apple is a very profita
ble one for the London market, aud it
may therefore be worthy of attention
by some of our fruit growers who raise
for export.” So says American Gar
dening and quotes the following from
an English exchange:
“From the prices realized for it in
the public markets it deserves ail that
can be written in its favor. We have
often urged upon growers the necessi
ty of going in for large, fine colored
apples, such as the oue under notice.
It is not only very large, but it carries
a beautiful color and when put up in
an effective manner commands a ready
saie and in quantity. It is a late va
riety—that improves it, in our opinion.
When a late high grade apple like this
can be obtained, it should be planted
freely, for the demand and prices
which prevail when supplies are ob
tainable prove this clearly.
“Bismarck is large iu every respect.
It is a veritable giant fruit in size, and
its cropping properties are gigantic.' It
is, in fact, oue of the heaviest fruiting
late apples we have, and as such, all
other points considered, it may safely
be termed one of the finest apples in
cultivation. The tree is a healthy and
strong grower. For market purposes
it is well suited, and if carefully grown
the fruit put up in one and two layer
boxes — preferably the former — will
command a free saie at good prices.
Sold thus it insures a demand from a
well to do class of retail fruiterers.”
To those who are interested in grow
ing fruits in pots under glass the illus
tration presented by American Garden
ing will appeal strongly as showing the
possibilities of the Bismarck. This
fruit weighed full 14 ouuces. The well
known private gardener by whom it
was grown said in regard to this va
riety of appl<j:
“The tree lias a tendency to com
pactness in habit and therefore can

ilfalfa in the ears of every farmer in
Texas, especially the small farmers. 1
feel sure that it gives more and takes
less than any forage plant that can be
grown iu the state.” says a Texas
farmer.
According to a New York commis
sion man, the finest rice iu the world
Is grown iu Louisiana. The southern
states in this country produce the best
quality or rice with the exeeptiou of
Egypt, which grows as fine an article.
Louisiana alone could produce all that
is necessary for the home consumption
and will probably do so as soon as a
system of irrigation now under way is
completed and in operation.
The planting of rows of sweet corn
is traps for the cotton boll worm is a
well recommended measure of consid
eration wherever the boll worm has
become a pest in cotton.
It is noted as a curious fact by the
horticulturist of tlie Alabama station
that fruit trees of all kinds biooru later
on tlie coast than they do 100 or 200
miles farther north in the interior.
This season the Kieffer flower buds on
the coast were so much less advanced
that" quite a portion of them escaped
the freeze and bore fruit.

How He Controls tlie Niter Xnisnnoe.
A successful maple sugar maker bas
told The American Agriculturist how
he avoids trouble with niter: I strain
the sap, run into heater, then to pan,
skim pan thoroughly, boil one day.
When thick enough, strain through
woolen strainer; then settle, pour off
the settlings, put in sugar off pan,
cleanse with white of eggs or milk or
iimewater and boil rapidly. When one-
half done, remove from fire and strain
through the thickest strainer it will go
through. This last straining will re
move all sand or lime. Put back, boil
rapidly, skim off everything that is of
fensive. If making sirup, run it down
rapidly until a gallon will weigh, can
and all, 11% pounus. If running to
sugai% have a pan of snow and run it
so that after it is cold it will be brittle
and crackle. Stir rapidly until partly
cool and then turn into one, two or
three pound cake dishes.
Tbe Tobacco Seed Bed.
With the exception of the perique to
bacco district in Louisiana seedbeds
are burned by the most experienced
growers in all localities. Iu the south
the land is burned over just before the
seeds are sown. It is necessary to do
this unless the ground has been kept
thoroughly clean for several years or
unless it has been mulched the preced
ing year, as the ground will be so foul
with weeds and grass that the young
tobacco plants stand little show of sur
viving in the struggle for existence
when vegetation begins.

ble. Should the apple respond to
orchard cultivation as it does to culti
vation under glass it is worthy of at
tention, although I do not consider it
a first class fruit. Still its handsome
appearance will more than counterbal
ance any weakness in quality. The
fruit should be kept a considerable
time before being used for dessert. It
is oue of the best croppers I know and
produces fruits of a uniformly large
size.”
Cutworm In Alfalfa.
It is known to many of you who rais
ed alfalfa this season there was a little
dark green striped worm which did
considerable damage in some alfalfa
fields, said a speaker at the recent
meeting of the Kansas board of agri
culture. This worm likewise spends
the winter iu chrysalis form beneath
the surface of the ground, and the disk
harrow will remove it if applied in the
early spring after the frost has left the
ground.
