FARM, GARDEN
AND HOUSEHOLD
By S. A. COOK.
The Ue and Jtidy of Manure*.
A farmer needs to know all he pos
sibly can about manures. This knowl
edge te especially important in the
older sections of the country where
the lands have been long cultivated
and now lack that essential humus
that made them fertile. A farmer need
not know very much of chemistry to
enable him to understand pretty
much all that is necessary to know
of manures to make a success of
harming. Though it may not be abso
lutely essential it is well to know as
much as possible about nitrogen and
potash and phosphorus or phosphoric
acid about humus and its relation to
fertility, about lime and gypsum, or
land-plasteras, it is more commonly
called. He can go a little further and
acquire some knowledge about carbon
hydrogen oxygen, the atmospheric ele
ments of plant. But after all there
is very little of chemistry that the
energetic, common-sense farmer need
to know to make him successful. He
needs to know more about stable ma
nure, cotton seeds, cotton seed meal,
acid phosphate, bone meal, kainit, ni
trate of soda and perhaps a few other
things of like character that enter in
to practical farming. To know how to
make use of these various materials on
his different fields will be about all
that he will find needful as a practi
cal farmer. We cannot farm to much
advantage on our worn soils now
without the use of manures and the
better we know how to use them the
better will be the success in farming,
whether clean culture or pastoral.
The Importance of Hamas.
# ln starting out to restore worn soils
to a fertile condition we must recog
nize the manurial quality of humus.
It is something we cannot buy as we
do nitrogen, potash, phosphorous and
lime, but it must be grown on the
land. The only manurial substance
that affords any appreciable amount
of humus is stable manure, but there
are not many farmers that can ap
ply it freely enough to make it act the
part of a humus provider. It would
require a wagonload to every square
rod of land to get any appreciable ef
fects as hmuus from the best stable
manure.
£o it has been well understood from
the first that humus can only be eco
nomically provided by growing it on
the land, using such crops as have
been found best adapted to the pur
pose. The leguminous family of plants
that include the clovers, peas, beans,
vetches, furnish the best humus-pro
viders. There are some grasses,
however, that by the annual decay of
their roots supply some humus while
yielding pasturage. In the course of
eight or ten years bermuda grass will
restore a very large amount of humus
to the soil on which it grows, if the
grass is fertilized now and then, as
it should be, with mineral fertilizers,
which are comparatively inexpensive.
There are four plants specially adapt
ed to Southern use for supplying
humus—bur clover, crimson clover,
field peas and velvet beans. Two ot
these can be sown in the fall and two
in the spring and summer. If one
chooses to do it two humus crops
could be given to a field inside of ten
months, or even in a shorter time,
by following a crop of peas planted
Aug. 1 with a crop of bur or crimson
clover sown the last of October, just
after turning under the pea vines. It is
practicable to give one humus crop to
nearly every field on the farm every
year. Of course it can be done where
corn is the crop grown. Where cotton
is the crop it is practicable to sow
crimson or bur clover at the Uying
by of the cotton. It is not a bad plan
too to have the cotton rows five feet
apart so that a crop of peas can be
started between when the cotton is
laid-by in July or August. Some farm
ers have practiced this to advantage.
Until we recognize the importance
of humus as a means of fertility we
cannot do very much in restoring our
worn lands or make the use of com
mercial fertilizer pay as it should pay.
Humus *r decayed vegetable matter is
the foundation of fertility.
To Clean Gravel Walk* of^Weeda.
The hoe is not the proper t'hiiig to
do this. A solution of copper sulphate
(blue vitriol) sprinkled freely over the
young weeds and grass will keep the
walk or road as clean as a floor. Fill
a barrel with water, thirty gallons soy.
Then put ten pounds of blue vitr'ol in
any old bag and suspend the bag Just
under the surface of the water. When
it becomes dissolved fill a watering
can and proceed to sprinkle the weeds
freely. A copious application will
keep the walk or road clean for some
time. A less quantity can be made
than the above, but observing the pro
portions given.
The Feeding Ctlle.
In our experience one of the most
common causes of lack of gain in cat
tle during the first two months of
the feeding period is over-feeding at
the start, says the Farmers’ Review.
In many instances the feeders brought
from a distance or from a different en
vironment have to become accustomed
to the change of circumstances, feed
and water and must be carefully han
dled. If, as is commonly the case,
they are at once rushed onto full feed
ing they thrive apace for a few days,
but soon lose appetite, become consti
pated or scour and from either of these
causes fail to gain flesh. Where cattle
are bought from a farmer in the tm
mediate vicinity of the feeding place
less oare is required in getting them
onto feed. They have been accustomed
to the water and food of the district
and so may be brought quickly onto a
full ration without serious results. The
brought-ln cattle, however, should
have light rations for two weeks and
care should be taken that the food is
succulent or comprises some element
that will keep the bowels open. If there
Is not succulent food such as roots,
silage or even alfalfa hay to ‘be fed
then It is often a good plan to give a
bandful of glauber salts or epsom salts
in the drinking water twice a week to
get the cattle Into good condition for
heavy feeding. Especial care Is re
quired as regards the feeding of con
centrates. The hay ration does little
harm provided the hay is of good
quality and free from mold, but corn
or meals must be used In snvill quanti
ties at first and then gradually In
creased In amount a* the cattle be
come accustomed to these foods. The
addition of cotton seed meal or flax
seed meal or ground oil oake is ad
visable. as it keeps the bowels regu
lar and at the same time helps to
balance the ration and produce the
most benefit from the foods used.
When tattle have been accustomed to
full feeding the attendant should pay
careful attention to the state of the
bowels of each animal. The manure
In Its consistency and color Is the
correct lodes to the stste of the <ll
- organs Constipation tsils of
too much <osfse woody fibre and sug
gests better hay or more of It In pro
portion to coarse corn forage. ' Lack
of fresh water tends to produce con
stipation and jt is most apt to happen
where the cattle are not given a due
amount of salt to stimulate the drinic
ing of sufficient water. Too soft ma
nure and especially when it is covered
with slimy material (mucus) tells
of Irritation of the alimentary tract,
and this may be due either to frosted,
moldy or extra coarse and irritating
food. The presence of ergot or fungus
in the corn or hay may have this re
sult and should lead to the addition
of some food in which these things
are not present. Sometimes it is not
necessary to altogether do away with
the affected food, but simply to "di
lute" it with better food. Contamin
ated drinking water is also a common
cause of scouring among feeding cat
tle. Trouble is sure to ensue upon the
advent of lice on feeders. When the
cattle begin to rub on the posts and
walls or fences examine them closely
and destroy lice by spraying with a
strong solution of tar product dip; or
lessen the food aqd give some salts
in the drinking water if the irritation
is found to be due to eczema, which
frequently attacks feeding cattle and
especially those that are kept closely
confined. Kither lice or eczema may
cause serious loss of flesh or may re
tard the gaining process. Next pay
attention to the feet of cattle. It is
well at the outset of the feeding per
iod to trim the feet where seen to be
overgrown. This is easily done in
stocks made for the purpose. The ex
tra horn is sawed ofr, or cut off by a
wide chisel struck by a mallet. The
coarse rasp may then .be used to shape
the toes properly, and where this is
done at the start It is rare for the
feet to trouble the cattle before they
have to go onto grass in spring. We
have seen many a fine steer held back
in condition by the pain of its feet
that have become lame from over
growth of the horn. See to it that
foul In the foot does not get a hold
It comes from wading in filth. This
indicates the necessity of keeping the
yards scraped and well bedded.
Something About Deep Plowing and
SabNol! Jn§r.
We are not cranky on the subject
of deep-plowing and sub-soiling. We
do not believe it to be a panacea for
all the Ills of poor farming, but we
do believe there are times and places
when It will pay handsomely, says the
Southern Hurallst. Whether you
should sub-soil your land or not Is a
question which you must deride for
yourself, being governed by the qual
ity and condition of your land. It is
a question for the exercise of good
judgment, just as all important ques
tions which come up for decision on
the farm.
H you are farming by improved
methods, with the object constantly
n view of improving your land, and
ir your soil has a good clay founda
tion and you are increasing the
amount of vegetable matter it con
tains, you should try to plow it a
Uttje deeper every year, say about an
inch. The gradual deepening of the
80 i : Bthe " a fest way to plow deep,
and this principle will apply to nearly
all soils.
Now with regard to sub-soiling:
There are a good many people who
have tried It. and have discarded their
sub-soil plows, claiming it does not
pay. On the other hand, there are
others who assert quite as positively
that it does pay. For our part. It has
paid us on some land and has not paid
on other land. Moreover, as our soil
becomes deeper and richer, we find
less need for sub-soiling'. Especially
is this true since we have been using
a disc plow, as this plow does not
have that tendency to create a hard
pan at the bottom of the furrow like
the ordinary turn-plow.
The land where it paid us best to
sub-soil was a hill-side, gray top-soil
underlaid with stiff red clay. The land
would seem to have been naturally
well drained, but the direct opposite
was the case. It was very slow in
drying out after a rain and had never
been plowed over four Inches deep be
fore we took hold of It, and this had
resulted, together with the land's be
ing worked too wet. In the formation
;of a hard pan which prevented the
i water sinking into the ground. We
sub-soiled this land in the fall when
the sub-soli was comparatively dry,
several years ago, with the most bene
ficial results, and we recommend sub
soiling on all land that is in a similar
condition. On such land sub-soiling
helps drainage and ariation, and by
so doing helps to make plant food
available and Increase the productive
power of the land. Never try to sub
soil land when the sub-soil is at all
sticky, for if you do you are throwing
away your work.
If land drains well. Is friable and
does not run together and the top soil
Is from eight to ten Inches deep, as a
general thing it does not need sub
soiling. Here the continued deepening
of the soil with the proper plows is all
that is necessary.

long-standing cases, and you should consult him first
when anything like that gets the matter with you. He
seldom or never finds it necessary to resort to a surgical

Two Ideas of Farming.
In the United States there are two
opposite ideas of farming. One is
to farm on the extensive scale. The
other Is to farm on the intensive
scale, says an Exchange. The West
ern Idea of farming Is to own great
tracts of land, and this idea be
comes more extensive as one goes
West. Even In Western Canada a
farmer thinks himself poor unless he
owns several sections of land. The
idea is one that had Its birth in the
days when land was cheap. It has
lived on In spite of the changed con
ditions. In the day of cheap land
the great farm was a necessity, as
intensive operations were not pos
sible. Labor was scarce and, live
stock abundant, and the animals could
be made to do most of the gathering
of the crops, eating them as they
gathered them.
With the increase of population the
interests of the country lie in the
possession of small farms. Reduce
the size of the farms and young men
will find it possible to purchase them.
At present prices it is practically im
possible for a young man to buy a
t'arm of average size. The old pro
cesses of thin farming still remain on
the big farms and are likely to remain
as the price of land goes up, on ac
count of the ever-increasing price of
labor.
In the Eastern part of the country
the intensive farming idea is in the
scendency. Asa result the farms
are largely owned without mortgages.
The intensive idea is making itself
felt to some extent in the West, but it
is yet slight, except near the great
cities, where farming takes on the
character more of gardening. Could
we but induce the men that own more
land than they can cultivate to sell
what they have little use for the ben
efit would be threefold: The man that
sold the land would be benefited;
the landless man that purchased it
would be benefited; and the general
public would be benefited.
We are coming to the time when
our farmers will realize the fact that
it is possible to farm downwards as
well as laterally. They will find that
it is not necessary to pay taxes on a
thousand acres of land farmed three
inches deep when they can get the
same results from five hundred acres
farmed six inches deep. They will
also find that smaller farms mean a
better social condition of the people.
Legal Weight* of Seed*.
Chaos exists in the matter of the
weights of the various grains. There
should evidently be a national law
that would establish uniformity.
Wheat is uniform at 60 pounds to
the bushel.
Shelled corn is 56 pounds in n u st
states, but is 54 in Arizona and 52 in,
California. Corn in the ear is TO pounds
to the bushel, except In Ohio, where
it is 68 pounds, and Mississ.ppi, where
it is 72 pounds. Corn in the ear and
unshucked is 75 pounds in Alabama, 74
pounds in Arkansas and Tennessee,
and 72 pounds In Texas.
Oats are 32 pounds to the bushel
with the following exceptions: Idaho
36, Maryland 26, New Jersey 30, Vir
ginia, SO.
Barley runs 48 pounds to the bushel
in most states. The legal weight *s
47 pounds in Alabama, Georgia, Ken
tucky and Pennsylvania. Arizona re
quires only 45 pounds and California
50.
Rye weighs 54 pounds in California,
but in other states it is 56 pounds.
Buckwheat varies greatly. Ir. Cali
fornia the legal weight is only 40
pounds, but the San Francisco Board
of Trade requires 50 pounds. In if,e
following states 42 pounds is the le
gal weight: Idaho, North Dakota,
Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota,
Texas and Washington. The law re
quires 48 pounds in the following
states: Connecticut, Maine, Massa
chusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, New
Y’ork, Pennsylvania, Rhole Island,
Vermont. Fifty pounds to the bushel
is required in Indiana. Kansas, Minne
sota, New’ Jersey, North Carolina,
Ohio, Tennessee and Wisconsin. The
legal weight is 52 pounds in Arkansas,
Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, lowa, Mis
souri, Montana, Nebraska, Virginia
and West Virginia.
The legal weight for beans Is mostly
fi'J pounds, but in Arizona beans, oth
er than small white ones, has a legal
weight of 55 pounds to the bushel.
The required weight is 62 in the fol
lowing states; Maine, New Hamp
shire, Vermont.
Peas weigh legally 60 poi ids in all
the states that have established legal
weights for them.
Clover is 60 pounds to thi bushel,
except In New Jersey, wh*re it is 64
pounds.
Timothy weighs 60 pounds to the
bushel in Arkansas. 42 In North Dako
ta. Oklahoma, South Dakota and 45
in the other states.
For the following grasses few
states have established lega, weights,
but generally the weights are. Herd’3
grass 45, Hungarian 48 and 50, millet
50 (48 in Minnesota), Japanese barn
yard millet 35, bluegrass 14, redtop 14
(12 In Virginia), orchard grass 14.
Some Dairy Feeds.
A communication from the Alabama
Experiment Station thus summarizes
some experiments made:
The object of the feeding experi
ments herein described was to ascer
tain whether hay made from hairy
vetch, cowpeas and soy beans could
be advantageously substituted for
most of the wheat bran in the ration
of dairy cows. The following Values
per ton were used in calculating the
cost of food:
Wheat bran, 820; vetch hay, {10;
cowpea hay, $10; cotton seed, sl2; cot
ton seed meal, S2O; cotton seed hulls,
$5.
Vetch hay proved fully equ'al in
feeding value to a similar weight of
wheat bran. By this substitution the
cost of the food required to make a
pound of butter was reduced 25 per
cent., which is equivalent to a month
ly saving of $22.20 in a herd of twen
ty cows.
With the vetch ration the cost of
food for one pound of butter averaged
10 cents in contrast with 13.4 cents
when whe*at bran was fed. The wa3te
in feeding vetch hay was, with most
cows, about 6 per cent, of the amount
offered and with cowpea hay about
16 per cent.; the latter residue, being
useless, is charged as a part of thd
ration.
That portion of the cowpea hay ac
tually eaten proved fully equal in
feeding value to a similar weight of
wheat bran. Charging the cows with
all the cowpea hay offered them, we
find that cowpea h#ay had 86 per cent,
of the feeding value of wheat bran,
one ton of this hay being equal to
1,720 pounds of wheat bran.
When wheat bran was worth S2O
per ton, cowpea hay was worth $17.20,
and vetch hay S2O.
The monthly profits per cow were
$4.65 on the vetch Nation and $4.35
on the cowpea ration.
One of the Jersey cows used in this
test produced butter at a cost for food
of only 8 1-3 cents per pound, when
fed on the vetch ration.
Running cowpea hay through a
feed cutter did not decrease, the waste
in feeding this food.
Dust Lot or Hog Pastor*.
A pasture so small that the hog
soon eats all the herbage out of it
can hardly answer the requirements
for a suitable hog pasture, says an ex
change. Yet it must be acknowledged
that here and there we find that kind
of a range for swine. We hardly like
to call it a pasture. That kind of a
range and corn for feed from birth to
slaughter almost are enough to make
any kind of a hog unprofitable. It Is a
smart man that can make money un
der such conditions. The posture must
■be large enough to contain green herb
age all the growing part of the year,
and the intelligent hog-raiser will Im
prove his pasture by sowing in it vari
ous kinds of things that the hogs like
to eat. A hog pasture containing eight
acres is not too large for the ordinary
farm If hog raising is to form any con
siderable part of the farm enterprise.
Some answer that if the pasture is
large there may be so much growth
of grass that it will become woody
and so not be readily eaten by the
hog. In that case It will be possible
to cut it with a mower and the woody
growth once cut off will not hinder

the development of the more succulent
parts.
It Is extremely difficult to grow
much in a hog pasture unless It is
divided off into lots, at least three.
With these divisions such crops as
rape, alfalfa, wheat, rye and oats may
be grown, the hogs being kept out of
one part while another is getting a
start. The difficulty with alfalfa is
that most men that try to use it for
hoge range, pasture it too close
and to kill it. It must be pastured
lightly and the hogs must be taken
out of that part before there Is danger
of harm coming to the plant. When
properly taken care of it provide® good
