As to the trouble of hogs getting 'heir feet into tiie feeding trough, an- \j 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. Subscribe! Subscribe!! 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 some apple, and whatever may be its deficiencies in the matter of flavor— and some people can hardly find terms of sufficient strength for thei^feelings —it has attained a position that impels 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 Brief Mention. “I'would like to preach the gospel of 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.

MoELfSEETS Wisse of Gmrdisi 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. Two papers for the price of one, APPLE BISMARCK. be kept iu shape with but little trou 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. News and Notes. Of the agricultural exports from the United States to Europe during 1S94-8 nearly 62 per cent went to the United Kingdom. Germany received 14.7 per cent, France 7.5 per cent, the Nether lands 4.9 per cent, Belgium 4 per cent, Italy 2.4 per cent, Spain 1.7 per cent and Denmark 1 per cent.
