6 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. The months of November and Decem- BLOOD POISON, VARICOCELE STRICTURE. Any man suffering from a private disease* that his family doctor does not seem to understand, or which you are unwilling to mention to him, should consult the well-known authority. Dr. J. Newton Hathaway. This far-famed t specialist has given preference for years to the study of diseases of men affecting the reproductive system and the blood, and the long list of cured patients he has to his credit is conclusive proof of his genuine ability in this di rection. He is successful in curing the most difficult and 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 operation, and his advice on the quickest way to get well, and his accurate diagnosis of all cases, make it especially desirable that you seek hts Judgment before going elsewhere or before deciding definitely what you curing ° r WUh Whom you win treflt ’ Hia success In SPECIFIC lILOOD POISON without harsh means—for Dr. Hathaway does not believe •T.

If you sub-soil be sure to leave one or more strips not sub-soiled and note the difference. You will then know if it pays you. 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 Uncle Mingo on the Certainty of Taxes By W. T. WILLIAMS.

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.
