Some Points of n House In General
Use In Maryland.
The plan of a hoghouse In use at the
Maryland station is given by Director
Patterson in a recent bulletin with the
following explanations:
Most of the plans for hoghouses re
corded in literature on this subject re
fer to those made farther north or west
where the climate is more severe than
in this latitude. This is due, no doubt,
to two causes—first, that the hoghouse
of the south lias seldom materialized,
at least to such a point as to be worthy
of being dignified as a house or much
less described, for it generally consists
BUSh SWEET POTATOES.
Interesting- Facts About Sweet Pota
to Growing In Sew Jersey.
The reputation of New Jersey sweet
potatoes is -.veil established, and one of
the widely known varieties is the Jersey
Yellow. A correspondent of Rural New
Yorker tolls that there are a number of
local strains of this whose peculiarities
lie principally in their shape, color and
keeping quality. Among these is the
Vineland Bush, which seems to he a
true bush form of the Jersey Yellow.
This writer says: We grew some of
them last season and found them to he
productive, of good yellow color and
desirable shape. They form a thick
bushy top of rich dark green leaves
and not a sign of a runner. The leaves
are of the same shape as the Jersey-
Yellow, but rather larger. They are as
easy to cultivate aud hoe as hush
beans, and there are uo vines in the
way at digging time. The quality is
very much like the Jersey Yellow. We
have grown so called vineless sweets,
but they are all more or less of the yam
family. The Vineland Bush is a true
sweet potato.
Soil, method of culture aud season
have much to do with shape, color and
quality of sweet potatoes. It is a well
known fact that where they have been
grown in favorable soil for many years
their habit of growth becomes to some
extent fixed in the seed, and they will
retain that habit for a year or more
when planted on quite different soil.
A large sweet potato grower in Iowa
writes me: “We buy Jersey Yelloav
seed, which at first grows short and
chunky, but after a year or two they
grow longer, and then we call them
Yellow Xansemonds.” Thus they
change name as well as shape.
The seed—the small or medium pota
toes—are first bedded in a hotbed one-
half to one inch apart and covered
three inches deep. In about four weeks
the sprouts should be well up and root
ed, when they are pulled and set where
the soil has been previously prepared.
FASTENING STARTERS.
A Ready nntl Satisfactory "Way of
Putting- Tlieni Into Sections.
The illustration shows a method of
putting starters iuto sections, which I
have found a very good one, says a
writer in Country Gentleman.
There are several machines on the
market for this work, hut some of them
are very unsatisfactory. In hot weath-
Tlie Soy Bean.
The soy or soja bean is an upright,
stiff stemmed, branching bean, which
is rapidly coming to the front as a
most valuable forage plant. It lias
been grown for several years by the
Ohio experiment station with very sat
isfactory results. Planted on Some of
our poorest soils, it has produced two
to three tons of excellent dry forage or
hay per acre, which is eaten with relish
by all kinds of stock. As a crop to turn
under for green manuring we do not
know- its equal.
As the soy bean is a warm weather
plant it should not be planted before
the last of May in northern Ohio nor
before the? middle in the southern part
of the state. When planted for forage,
it is sown at the rate of a bushel and a
half to the acre on well prepared land,
sowing with the wheat drill with all
the runs open. Thus sown it soon cov
ers the ground, and there is no trouble
from weeds or foxtail. It should be
harvested before frost and cured as
hay.
The soy bean, like clover, adds nitro
gen to the soil, and it is therefore a
renovating instead of an exhausting
crop. It is especially suited to take the
place of clover in a systematic rotation
where the clover has been killed out by
severe winters.
EUSn SWEET POTATO.
The ground is first plowed lightly, as
•leep plowing tends to produce long po
tatoes. Some growers plant in hills,
others on ridges. Usually light fur-
rov.s are run about three feet apart, in
vhieh the fertilizer, which should he
•ieh in potash, is sown at the rate of
one-half ton per acre. Ridges (or hills)
uIC made directly over this either with
a ridge:- or small plow. The plants are
set on the ridge IS inches or more
apart. There are several forms of
hand planters in use as well as the two
*'°rse machine, but many farmers still
r t with the hand or trowel. Plants
should never lie set until the weather
'-'-arm, about melon planting time. If
1 le soil is dry, a little water is put in
•as the plant is set, which insures a
food start. Some planters always wa-
ei. Frequent cultivation and clean
•wing n re essential to success. Near-
"rowers now use cultivators with
Vme turners on, which keep the vines
upon the ridge through the season.

PUTTING STARTERS IX SECTIOX BOXES.
er the starters are apt to tumble down
when the bees cluster on them, hut
with this process heated wax is used
and is absorbed by the wood, and the
starters stay in place during the hot
test days in summer. In order to get
the bees to build their combs nice and
straight in the sections the starters
must he put in the middle of the sec
tions.
For this purpose we use a board with
four blocks nailed on it seven-eighths
of an inch thick by 3% inches square.
This size is for the standard section,
which holds just one pound of honey.
YVe then pick up four sections at one
time and place them over the four
blocks, the sections being on their
edges, lay in the one incii starters, or
full sheets, just as preferred. In the
picture full sheets are being used. The
blocks bring the starters just midway
in the sections. We then dip our piece
of tin into the heated wax and touch
the starter and section at the uniting
point, holding the starter in place with
the left hand, withdrawing the piece of
tin instantly, as it only requires a
touch, and the work is done. If full
sheets are used, we dip twice, touching
the top and one side, leaving one side
and the bottom loose for expansion.
The size of the piece of tin is 3% by 5
inches, with a perfectly straight edge.
The receptacle to hold the heated wax
is a small sardine box 2% by 4 inches,
kept about one-third filled with wax
and placed over a small band lamp
with a tin cylinder for a globe, with
All Things Begin With the Soil.
The soil is not a mere inert mass. It
is a scene of life and activity. This is
the new and true teaching. Soil which
is -..wholly inactive is unproductive.
Movements of air and water, actions
of heat and evaporation, life rounds of
countless microscopic organisms, decay
and disintegration of plants and soil
narticles—these are some of the activi
ties of the fertile soil. If our ears
were delicate enough, we could hear
the shuffle of the workers, the beating
of hammers and the roll of the tiny
machinery. All things begin with the
soil, and at last all things come hack to
it. The soil is the cemetery of all the
ages and the resurrection of all life. If
the soil is not idle, neither should the
farmer be.—Bailey.

HOGHOUSE (FRONT VIEW),
of a bkushy marsh for summer and a
square made of a few old fence rails
with some pine brush or corn fodder
thrown over the top for winter.
The hoghouse of the north may suit
that latitude, but no doubt could be im
proved upon for that section, and it
certainly has many objections for the
south, generally the greatest objection
being the cost. There is one point that
is commonly lost sight of in hog grow
ing, and that, is that he is an animal to
which the sunshine is just as essential
as it is to the corn plant. Neither pork
nor corn c-an be successfully produced
without plenty of sunshine. In the
north this sunshine in winter will have
to be brought into the pen through
glass. In this latitude and farther
south, under normal conditions, it is
only necessary to face the pen to the
south, allow the sun’s rays to reach the
back of the pen on the beds and give
good shelter and protection from north
and west winds.
The accompanying view, floor plan
and end elevation give almost a com
plete idea of the pen in use here which
has met with very general favor. It
may be well, however, to enumerate a
few special points in the construction.
First.—It is faced to the south to per
mit the rays of the sun to shine upon
the beds of the pigs at the extreme rear
end of the pen in the winter season
and also to give shade in that portion
in summer.
Second.—Lattice construction be
tween the pens at the ends and rear
admits of a free circulation of air in
warm weather.
Third.—The location of the manure
pit in the center and below the level of
Bill Filed In United States Court-

Atlanta, June 1.—In the United
States district court a petition has been
filed by Mrs. E. G. Coffman, W. D.
Manley and C. S. Wrenn asking that
the Georgia Handle company be declared
an involuntary bankrupt.
E. G. Coffman, general manager and
chief stockholder of the Georgia Handle
company, left the city Tuesday, ostensi
bly to go to Macon to look after the ad
justment of the insurance on the B. E.
Willingham plow factory, recently
burned, in which he was largely inter
ested. Since that time he has not been
seen.
Mr. Coffman did not go to Macon.
This fact has been definitely ascertained.
His attorneys, Felder & Rountree, say
they have exhausted every effort to lo
cate him. His friends are equally ignor
ant of his whereabouts, aud there are
those who express fears for his safety.

The strike is the result of the refusal
of contractors, builders and planing mill
managers to accede to the demands of
the carpenters and joiners. These de
mands were made about a week ago.
They demand that the full calendar day
consist of eight hours, with a minimum
wage of $2 per day, and in addition to
the regular wage on (3-half the minimum
scale to be paid for over time. Double

Brome Grass Without Irrigation.
A man up in the Divide country has
had very good success with Bromus
inermis without irrigation, says the
Denver Field and Farm. The seed
was sown on upland soil where buffalo
grass had formerly been. It was 228
feet to water and had been under cul
tivation for 11 years. The soil is a
loam, with a yellowish loam sabsoil.
There is no alkali present. It is what
would be termed a medium light soil.
It was plowed 10 to 12 inches deep
and then disked and harrowed until
like a garden bed. The condition at
time of planting was good, but not dry.
The seed was sown in May, probably
about the middle of the month, and
plants appeared above ground about
the last of the month, giving a good
stand. The weeds were cut the last of
July. During a dry spell of five weeks
between Aug. 1 and Sept. 6 he thought!
he had lost it entirely. A four days’
storm in September gave it a start andi
resulted in a splendid stand. He be
lieves that Bromus inermis is going to 1
be the hay grass for all that region.
