Cracks Cost Less Than Lumber—The
More Cracks tlie Less Lumber.
I was once figuring on building a
corn crib, says an Iowa Homestead
writer. In figuring the lumber it oc
curred to me that cracks in a crib were
essential and that they did not cost as
much as lumber. The more cracks I
had the less lumber- it required to in
close the crib. I built it out of 3 inch
fencing, which was obtained by taking
the C inch stuff to the planing mill and
haying it ripped. From a G inch board

TWO WAYS OF FENCING.
I got two 2 inch cracks where there
was but one before. In making fences
and gates I have also found that 4
inch lumber will do as well for most
purposes, if it is of the right quality,
as the G inch fencing. Your lumber
dealer will not like to sell it to you, for
obvious reasons, but give him to under
stand that you know what you want
and will have no other, and you will
get it.
Here are two panels of fence. One is
made of 4 inch lumber with two wires,
and the other of G inch fencing. There
are four inches at the bottom for an
other wire, if needed in each fence. It
will be found that there is a saving in
lumber in the 4 inch fencing, and it is
about the same height and of the same
utility. Figure this out and see the
saving.

Tlie Soy Bean,
The soy bean is one of the staple
crops of Japan, which attracted little
attention in this country until about
ten years ago, but is now becoming
quite common. The crop is cultivated
like corn, the seed being planted in
drills at the rate of half a bushel per
acre. The stems alone are too coarse
to make good hay, but are covered with
such a dense growth of leaves and are
bo prolific in fruit that the hay is prized
highly, especially for milk cows and
for fattening animals. The yield of
One Sinn's Method of Utilizing: Them
For Fertilizer.
To utilize sorghum or cane stalks a
correspondent of The Farm, Field and
Fireside would proceed as follows:
1 They should be buried sooa after they
i are crushed. Deep trenches should be
; formed with a plow the proper dis
tance apart for the next crop, say
■ sweet potatoes. Place therein a proper
; quantity of the crushed cane, but not a
sufficiency to cause beating. Then cov-
i er, preferably not very deep. While
tlie cane is rotting, large quantities of
carbonic acid gas will be generated.
This gas is a powerful solvent and
acts on certain rebellious elements in
the soil, reducing them to plant food,
j This feature of the gas adds immense
ly to the productiveness of the soil, but
for lack of knowledge of its proper
ties the most of that produced on the
farm appears to be lost. It is heavier
than common air. Hence, in filling
the trenches with tlie stalks, spaces
in which there is no cane should be
occasionally left. Dams will thus be
formed at said vacant places. Al
though the gas cannot be seen, it is
as necessary to construct dams to hold
it as it is for water, and especially will
these dams be needed if tlie ground is
rolling.
Before setting out tlie potato sprouts
pulverize tlie tops of the ridges with
a cultivator or small harrow, throw
more dirt thereon and set out in the
usual way.
If not convenient to bury the stalks
soon after they are crushed, they
should be spread sufficiently tliin to
prevent heating and then placed in
the trenches and covered at the earliest
opportunity.
With the stalks burned, as aforesaid,
and some suitable fertilizer added, the
yield can easily be trebled over ordi
nary yields. There are no crops upon
which fertilizers will pay better than
root crops and truck, patches generally.
A fertilizer composed of the follow
ing ingredients may be employed:
Phosphoric acid, 7 per cent; potash, 9
per cent; nitrogen, 4 per cent.
Apply on top of ridges before the cul
tivator or harrow is ruu, at the rate of
550 pounds per acre, and mix thor
oughly with the soil. The stalks may
also be cured as hay, cut, mixed with
other feed and fed to stock.

Irrigation In Lonisiana.
“Louisiana is the best watered state
in tlie Union, and from its streams the
crops in vast areas of its territory can
be made secure each year and often
doubled. In lands which cannot draw
tlie water supply from the streams the
water for irrigation purposes could be
obtained from wells or reservoirs made
by erecting dikes across low places.
By these means it seems possible to ir
rigate every acre of cultivated land in
tlie state. The countries where irriga
tion is resorted to are noted for abun
dant and regular yields, and the fact
that we have rains in Louisiana suffi
cient in certain seasons to give like
results should not deter our agricul
turists from being prepared to apply
irrigation whenever it becomes neces
sary to accelerate tlie growth of crops
and insure tlie fullest yields. The ex
periments so far made in irrigation
have been most encouraging. Without
fertilizers over 100 bushels of corn per
acre were obtained by irrigation and
over 40 tons of cane by the same means
as against 31 tons from rain moisture
in a wet season.” says State Commis
sioner Leon Jastremski.

green forage is heavy when grown on
good ground, and tlie yield of beaus is
usually from 20 to 30 bushels per acre.
Those who have had most experience
with this crop find that tlie best way
to handle it is to cut or pull the plants
when the first pods begin to open and
thrash as soon as dry enough. In this
way the coarse stalks are so broken in
pieces and mixed with the leaves and
immature fruit that nearly all will be
eaten. It is doubtless one of the best
of the legumes for the silo, as it can
be more easily handled for the cutter
than plants like clover or cowpeas.

Enrylng Roots.
But few farmers have storage room
for keeping their roots and vegetables
beyond-the reach of frost. Frostproof
basements and caves are beyond the
reach of many. To those it is neces
sary to bury or pit everything they
wish to keep. Where there is any
quantity to bury we have used the
trench and found it the easiest to bury
in and to get at when any quantity of
the roots are wanted, writes a Kansas
correspondent to tlie Ohio Farmer. We
first plowed four deep furrows in a
handy and well urained place and
threw out the loosened dirt, leaving a
trench about five feet wide and from
eight inches to a foot in depth. Then
the roots were put in, bringing them
up to a well rounded top. Over these
we put a covering of clean straw or
hay and over this a thin covering of
soil, enough to keep the early frosts
from injuring the roots and to turn the
rain. It is not best to cover too much
in tlie fore part of tlie season, as tlie
roots are liable to beat. Some sort of
ventilation is necessary. Twisted
wisps of hay reaching from the roots
through the soil covering at intervals
of a few feet along the crest will prove
‘sufficient. As the colder weather
comes 011 more protecting soil can be
thrown on.
It is well where possible to make
the trenches running north and south.
By beginning at the south end- when
opening there will be little danger
from freezing.

to tlie square bottom, Fig. 2. The dia- ;

the ditch, is shown by the dotted lines. !

35 degrees from the perpendicular, and j
with this large flow of water an angle
of 45 degrees might be better, since tlie

prostrate grass, among fallen leaves or
especially along osage hedges, lanes
and fence corners. Wherever such
places can be burned over in late fall,

be to destroy many of these. Instead
of having our annual clearing up in
May, as many do who clear up their
premises at all, the Ohio station ad
vises that it he done during one of tlie

Preparing: Trees For Winter.
At the north begin to prepare trees
and shrubs for winter at least by the
last of October. At tlie south this
should not be delayed longer than No
vember. To protect from the ravages
of rabbits, mice, etc., clear the ground
around tlie stalk of all rubbish, either
by hoeing or mowing off close to the
ground. Apply protection to the body
of the tree. This can be done by wrap
ping with paper, rags, cornstalks,
screen wire or wood veneering. So
advises American Agriculturist.
If troubled with rheumatism, give

are likely to cave in. It is therefore
better economy to make the sides of
the ditch fiattish than to have them
steep, in which case they are likely to
give great annoyance. Unless the fall
is considerable, so that the water would
scour the ditcli out at the bottom, such
ditches would have -to be cleaned fre

best to cut . ditch with a flat bottom,
the general shape of it should coincide

of fruit is caused by the failure of the
