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.

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. When you start out to ?‘tackle” the finny tribe don’t forget to take a bottle of Dr. Tichenor’s Antisep- tiseptie.

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- G. Coffman Disappears. 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.

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.

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. Job Printing: promptly executed Massachusetts and Indiana Hurriedly Prepared For Service. Philadelphia, June 6.—Under orders from the navy department the battle- sMds Massachusetts and Indiana, at the League Island navy-yard, are being pre pared for sea. The orders give no clew to what ser vice the vessels may be called into, the notice to Commandant Casey being simply to get the ships ready and dis patch them as soon as possible to Hamp ton Roads, where they are to await further orders. The warships were piloted out of the reserve basin around the Delaware river front, where preparations for departure were finished. The two vessels are loaded with enough coal to make a trip across the Atlantic aud they contain large supplies of ammunition. There are 120 men in the reserve crew of each ship, the bal ance of the complement of 405 sailors and 80 marines being distributed among various naval stations after the vessels reached here from Brooklyn. The full crews were filled out with the 525 men who came here on the frigate Hartford from Hampton. Roads, and the other details ordered here from New York and Boston. Situation Grows Worse.
