HI -V jl % ■ WIRE STAKES ADVISED FOR PLANTS, \ A PROLIFIC WAX- BEAN. , • Improved Modes in Corn Culture — VaU nable Facts Regarding Plows and Plow ing — Some Other Matters That Will Be , - Found to Bo of Interest. ' - . W-': C-'-- - &: k -: fef. r ' I*-' The important subject of plows and plowing has been recently shown forth in its many phases by Professor Sanborn, in a bulletin giving a report of results and observations gained and made on the Missouri state agricultural grounds. Fol- tlese lowing is a brief summary of tires e ob servations: ^9 FIG. 1 — PROPER DEPTH. 1. A deflection of the traces when un der draught from a straight line from shoulder to doubletree results in a decided loss of power, and such loss is applied to the galling and worrying of the horse. ___ 2. The use of a truck or a little wheel xmder the end of the plough beam gained 14.1 per cent; of the draft as an aver age of the trials made, and in addition gave a more uniform furrow and relieved the plowman. This saving can be made only when the line of draft is right. 3. The use of the coijlter was, without exception, attended with a decided loss of , force or increased draft by whatever form, of coulter used, but was less with the new style coulter than with the roll ing and old fashioned coulter. The aver age gain of draft by dispensing with the coulter was 15.6 percent. The coul ter invariably disturbed the line of draft, resulting in a furrow of different dimensions from those formed without it. 4. The draft of a plow decreases as depth of furrow increases until it reaches the plow ’ s normal capacity, and then in creases as the depth is increased tyeyond this capacity of the plow. This law is modified by the fact that as a furrow in creases in size the ratio of cutting face or edge of plow to the furrow turned de creases. 5. The draft of a plow decreases as width of furrow increases until the nor mal capacity of the plow is reached, after which it increases again under the same limitations as in previous case of depth, yet it does not increase in as rapid a ratio as is seen in case of depth. The absolute draft in a 15-inch furrow was less than for a 10-inch furrow. 6. The discord of these results with those previously found by others has several possible explanations, one of which may possibly be the influence of plow improvement. 7. The necessity of intelligently adjust ing the furrow to the normal capacity of the plow or using only plows that will be normal to the furrow turned was made apparent. The loss in draft from a furrow varying from the plow ’ s normal capacity by two points only was for an average of all trials of varying widths and depths 21 per cent. From the standpoint of draft it is poor economy to turn a small furrow. Three horses are better than two in-plowing. FIG. 2 — IMPROPER DEPTH. 8. If one adds the saving from the three factors discussed — truck, coulters and width and depth — one gets 49.7 per cent.; or a plow with truck on, coulter off, and plow a good sized furrow, will give this per cent, of gain when put against a plow with coulter on, truck off and turning a shallow, narrow furrow; or' rather the latter will draw 49.7 percent, harder than the former, if the professor ’ s data are cor rect. 9. A seven by fourteen inch furrow re quires about three horse power to turn it. Those who use two horses, either turn a small, costly furrow or overdraw their horses upon sod land of the kind in ques tion — a clay loam, 10. A furrow turned whose size is not normal to the plow is usually, if not al ways, a jerky or uneven one, poor and hard on the workman. The accompany ing cuts, which represent the actual draft and its fluctuations at varying depths and widths, show this. Attention is called to the irregularity of the lines in Figs. 1 (proper depth) and 2 (improper depth) in comparison. The wrong depth gives an uneven draft. The same was found in cuts taken where a too narrow furrow is compared with a furrow of proper width. In both cases the more irregular lines drew the harder of the two. TChe Planting and Cultivating of Com. The time for corn planting varies with the latitude and also depends much upon the weather. As soon as the days are mild and the ground warm is a safe rule, wherever that maybe, in all localities. Three conditions are essential to the pro duction of a paying crop of corn, namely good seed, a rich friable soil and thorough tillage. Progressive farmers have de monstrated the economy of a thorough preparation of the soil for the seed; in deed not a few of our most successful growers advocate and practice, as best and easiest, the cultivation previous to planting; that is to say, they do not Use a plow after planting, but let all the deep culture of die soil precede it. Where manure is required the better way is to spread it broadcast and plow it in, if coarse, or harrow it in, if well pul verized and decomposed. When manure is thoroughly incorporated in the soil, the roots of the plants are certain to take it up, and the development of ear and grain will correspond with that of stalk mid leaves, . which , is not the case = When a iinoBted amount of fertilizer is placed in hill or drill only. To gain the best results from the employment of stimulating elements in hill or drill, available plant food must be near at hand and in suf ficient “ quantity to carry the plant, once started, on to the perfection of its growth. An early start is a great ’ point gained, and tlie employment of . fer- tilizers'in the drill is of decided advantage, provided, as has been already told, the, soil outside contains sufficient food tc- keep up the grdwth of the plant. Foul-\ try manure and Peruvian- guano have each rendered valuable service when ap plied in the drill. ; ^ Large 1 areas are nowadays usually planted'in. drills, and' corn.; planters and cultivators are quite generally adopted,' and it is commonly conceded that the drill system induces the greatest yield, ■ other conditions being equal. Flat culture is now the general rule for the corn crop, it having long ago been proven that hilling is not required for the support . of the plant, as was formerly supposed, and there is also a saving of labor in the flat culture system. A plan of drill culture, favored by some on light and naturally dry upland, is wbat is known as the fur row system of planting. The field is broken up as usual and made level. At .the time of plantingonethorough harrow ing is given and the furrows laid off and thrown , up into five feet beds, the corn being planted in the furrows between the beds. The object 7 of this plan is. to insure moisture to the crop. The . fertilizers are sown in the bottom of the furrows and mixed with the soil by running along the furrows a sharp single shovel coulter or dragging a chain through them. Then the seed is dropped and covered. ' The after cultivation is done with culti vators, which gradually level down the surface of the beds, returning the soil to the corn and leaving the general surface level when completed. The system of. “ checking ” corn, so.that;; the cultivation may be in two directions;! direct and ' across, is much practiced jn 7 the northern and western states. At,the east and in many of the middle states planting in drills and cultivating shallow and flat with cultivator and hoe prevails among the more progressive farmers. As to the matter of seedjifarmers are advised for their general crop& to plant such varieties as in former years have proven successful in their own localities and in soils similar to their own. Small plots may be profitably employed in test ing new and promising kisds introduced by trustworthy seedsman, or other farmers. An Improved Wax Bean. The old German wax bean has long en joyed an enviable reputation among wax beans. It matures early, the flavor is superior and its pods are tender, but it is not so prolific as some other varieties. NEW PROLIFIC GERMAN WAX BEAN. And now is introduced for the first time to the public the new prolific German wax ’ bean, an improved strain of the old fa vorite German wax. This new strain, which has been tested in many localities . with both field and garden culture, ap pears to have given very general satisfac tion. Vick, who has been testing it for four years, has it catalogued this season under the name of New Prolific German Wax. His stock was started from a sin gle seed of the old German wax, and while the general appearance of the plant of the new prolific^ resembles the old and retains its good points, Vick claims for the newcomer that it is a stronger and more robust grower; its pods are straight- er, longer, rounder, and that it is more than twice as prqductivj — in fact, com- alities of bines all the good qualities of the old with the improvements wrought by years of careful selection and cultivation. PLANT STAKES. Wire Plant Stakes. American Garden made an admirable suggestion when it advised wire plant stakes as worthy of adoption. In these days, when wire is so much used for fences and arbors, there are always short lengths left over that can be utilized for stakes. The authority referred to tells just how to do this: Take wire of sufficient strength to afford some support (small wire will do for deli cate little plants, but heavy ones require stout); straighten it and cut into lengths from one % to three and a half feet; then, with a strong pair of pliers or use of an anvil swage, bend one end into a ring, as in Fig. 2. It is important to put this curve on the end, as it holds the tying material in place without being so tight as to choke the plant, and without it the sharp wires are a constant source of danger, being liable to catch in the clothing and seriously injure any one thrown upon them. Groups of flower stalks can he tied up by taking three of the stakes and passing the string through the wire loops. A better way when shap ing the wires is to make some of them into pairs, shaped as in Fig. 1, where the tops catch together, forming a wire circle to support the plants, allowing them to develop their natural beauty of growth. •If these wires are dipped into thin paint or black varnish they will last for years. An easy way to do this is to stop up one end of a piece of two inch gas pipe of the right length, fill with the varnish and quickly dip the; stakes in and hang them up to dry. Make , these now and you will be glad of it when staking time comes. Bfere And There. Now is the time to study the catalogues of trustworthy seedmen. According to late accounts the Louisi ana strawberry crop is the largest ever grown. Arkansas and Texas claim that the im migration into those states during fixe past year has been greater than in any previous season. 1 Prof. De Muth is quoted as saying, that hay fed to a cow between meals is worse than wasted, as it Interferes with the di gestion of the regular ration. In no way can a fanner with less trouble enrich a poor field with scanty herbage than by feeding sheep on it. So affirms an English sheep farmer. Readers interested in the production of silk cocoons can obtain information on the subject by applying to the commis sioner of agricnlture, Washington, D. C., who has on hand some silkworm eggs for distribution. THE CURIOSITY SHOP. Why the Year 190© Will Not be Counted Among the Leap Years.. The year is 365 days, 5 hours and 49 minutes long; eleven minufes are taken every year to make the year 365 1-4 days long, and, every' fourth year we have an extra day. This was Julius Caesar's arrangement. Where do these eleven minutes ’ coihe from? They come from the future, and are paid back by omitting leap year every 100 years. But if leap year is omitted regularly every 100th year, in thfe course of 400 years it is.found that the eleven nimutes taken'each year will hot; only have been paid back, but that a whole day will have been given up. So Pope GregoryTII, . who improved on Caesar ’ s calendar in 1582, decreed that every centurial year divisible by 4 should be a leap year after all. So we bofrow eleven minutes each year, more than pay our borrowings back by omitting three leap years in three centurial. years, and square niatters by having a leap year in the fourth centurial year. Pope Gregory ’ s ar rangement is so exact, and the borrowing and paying back balance so closely, that we borrow more than we pay back to the extent of only one day in 3,866- years. * Foreign New Jersey. The origin of the allusion to New Jersey as a foreign country is as follows: ,. “ After the downfall of the first Napolepn hjs brother Joseph, who had been king of Spain, and his nephew, Prince Murat, sought refuge in this- country, bringing with them great wealth. Joseph Bonaparte wished to build a palatial tjSlpNjfe, but ^ not ‘ Wish to become a citi- hppesof returning to Europe. Tg^lnable him 7 ' as an alien'to hold real estate yfoquir&fa spepial act of the legislature. He tried to get one passed in several states, but- failed. He was chagrined especially because Pennsylvania refused. After this he applied to the New Jersey legislature, which granted both him and Prince Murat the privilege of purchasing land. They bought a tract at Bordentown, built magnificent dwellings and fitted them up in the most costly manner. Rare pictures, sculptures, etc., were profuse and selected with the greatest care, the grounds laid out with exquisite taste. Joseph Bonaparte ’ s residence was, perhaps, the finest in America. Thousands of people from all parts of the country visited him and were treated courteously. He was extremely liberal with his money, and gave great impetus to the business of the little town. The Philadel phians, finding that he had apparently no end of money, and that he used it to benefit busi ness generally, regretted, when too late, that they refused to let him locate among them selves, and, to keep up their mortification, would continue to taunt Jerseymen with hav ing a king — with importing the king of Spain to rule over them. They were called Span iards and foreigners on that account. But these taunts harmed no one, as the Jersey men lost nothing by allowing him to settle among them, and thus “ foreigners, ” jok ingly applied to Jerseymen, has come down to us long after its origin has been for gotten, except by a few of the past genera tion.

IF YOU WANT TOILET PAPERS, CARPET, -OR- WRAPPIK^ t papers OF ANY KIND, mi TILM, PAPER, Adobe Houses. Adobe houses are made of unbumed brick. They are in common use in Texas, Mexico, Central and South America. The bricks are made of loamy earth, containing about two- thirds fine sand and one-third clayey dust. This mess is mixed with water and then pressed into molds of the required size. Taken from the molds the adobes are placed on edge on the ground and left to harden in the sun. In a few days they are hard, compact bricks, without a crack. They are laid with mud mortar, and at the completion of every two feet of the structure, an interval of one week is allowed for drying; and a similar space of time between the completion of the walls and the putting on of the roof. The houses are usually one story high, and the inside is plastered before the roof is put on. The dura tion of these houses is much greater than would bo supposed, as there are a number now in existence which have stood for more than a century. The Moon and the Weather. Superstitions concenjng the effect of the moon oh the earth are very common, but are wholly without foundation in reality. The relation of the moon to tho earth is simply that of a satellite, whose attraction has an important influence on the motion in its orbit, and on the shifting level of its oceahs, causing the tides. It might be supposed that if the moon can attract the water -upon the surface of the earth sho can also attract its atmosphere, and thus, through movement of the air currents, have a perceptible influence upon the weather. But investigation shows that as the aeriel mass is in no way confined in estuaries or gulfs, its tide caused by ex ternal attraction must be slight. So far as can be indicated by the barometer it is too small to be worth reckoning, being less than .001 of an inch. Pawnbrokers ’ and Barbers ’ Signs. The pawnbroker ’ s sign is supposed to be derived from the arms of the corporation of Lombards, or from the armorial bearings of the Medici family, tho wealthiest Lombard merchants. In former times the barber ’ s craft was conjoined with tho art of surgery. The sign consisted of a striped cole, from which was suspended a basin. The fillet around the pole indicated the ribbon for bandaging the arm in bleeding, and the basin the vessel for receiving the blood. Blood letting and drawing teeth were prac ticed by early barbers.
