The home V°Betable garden deserves greater at- tention from the average farmer. Horse cultivation of the garden is recommended wherever possible, and where the work is to be done by means of .horse tools, the garden should be so arranged that the rows will run lengthwise. lt is often a. good plan to srcw vegetables for the table in the same field with corn or root crops. Two or three rows in this field, on the side close to the house, can be planted to tomatoes, radisheg, ¢uc“m_ WTB. Csbbases, beans, peas, eac., and will supply fresh vegetables for the *H510 dllrlllg the growing season. They can be easily cultivated and kept clean when the corn and root crops are being attended to with horse implements. One lady in Prince Edward Island. on one ot the farms where illustration work was being done for the Commission of Conser- vation, who desired to go into the poultry business, moved the garden out to the field and had it. attended to as above suggested. This plan worked so well that it has been con- tinued and gives excellent satisfac- tion. There is no reason why the same thing can not be done on many farms; it will mean that a better and more abundant supply of vegetables will he’ obtained, and. also. that the womans work on the farm will be considerably lightened. Every pound of food supplied from the gardens means that there will be more of the gther products of the farm for sale.- . C. N. ' A TTROKE WITH THE HARROW. The late William Rennie, in bectur_ ing on form practice, gave one piece of advice more frequently than any other-that was “Give it another stroke with the narrows." There is reason to believe that the following of this advice on mai>7 occasions has helped to bring success to many stu- dents who listened to it. Harrows at that time was not confused with the disc. ’l`he disc do..s very well in its Place, and it has a big place in these days, but after the disc has done its best a fcw strokes with the drag' har- row are needed to level the field and, above all, to shake the soil- down to its right place. It is said that disklng is practically as good as spring plowing, when for any rea- son ploiving cannot be done in the Fall, but is disking is to take the place of plowing, so much of it has to be done that more time and work are needed than in plowing and then the strokes with the barrow are just as much needed or more so. The roots of grain should come in close contact with the soil and for this reason the furrow should be well worked down and the soil particles brought into close contact, to the whole depth of the plowing. With good plowing the bottom of the slices mare well packed by the plow and if ,not oven cultivated afterwards still form a compact seed bed. This may be improved by the working of a cultivator, which passes through the soil and allows it to set better into place; but the barrow, both before and after seeding, is wh-at makes the ideal seed bed; After planting corn this harrowing is most important. It prevents the escape of moisture through foot marks on the trail of the corn plant- ed, leaves every atom of soil fit for use by the young plants and deprives the crows of an advantage in root- ing up the seed; the harrows in this case can be light, because the ground should already‘ be in good. condition and the seed must not be disturbed. When soil is persistently loose or remains in lumps, necessitating the use of n roller, then the barrow should follow immedlately\to prevent evaporation of moisture, and if a crust forms on account of heavy rain followed by hot sun directly after sowing, "Give it another stroke with .. -the borrows. __.___.-..-_-_- RADIUM A8 FERTILIZER Even if radium or other radio-active substances were to increase crop yields when applied to soils in sufllc- ient quantity (The rate of application mentioned by Fabre (599 milligrams) .would cost about $58,800 per acre at present prices for radium; and even his beneficial results lack general veri- ficntions by other experiments) the effect wouldbe that of a stimulant and 1_-,»_-_-,-;_-_-_-:_-x,~.~_-_-:_~:::_-::::.-:_-:::::::::_-:.1-j Minsrd'e Llnlment Go., Limited.

Thus the soil would not be enriched in fertility but actually impoverished by such treat- ment. The result follows also for soil or crop. Thus the use of electricity has been advertised by commercial interests, and many experiments have been con- ducted with the growing of crops under a network of electric wires. However, s. careful study of the re- sults reported from such investiga- tions when conducted by public-ser- vice institutions reveals no important effects upon plant growth, although some most remarkable results have been reported by investigators em- ployed by commencial interests. Even the increased yield sometimes secured by excessive cultivation is at the expense of the soil. The trust- worthy information thus far secured in illinois does not show profitable re- sults from extra deep tillage, or from subsoiling either with subsoil plows or with dynamite; even if such practices were temporarily profitable, they might not be advisable, because they tend to make soils poorer, and the same expense in limestone. phosphate, clover or manure, which are highly profitable on our common soils, would tend toward positive soil enchantment and permanent preservation of fertil- ity. These facts and principles deserve the most careful consideration, for they are of permanent interest to con- sumers as well as producers, and to lndustry and commerce as well as to agriculture. The people of the state and of the United States should stand as a unit for soil building and soil pre- servation, and opposed to soil deple- tion, land ruin and ultimate farm abandonment. MISLEADING CLAIMS As a rule. the claims for possible stimulants are not well founded. Even radium, with all its wonderful energy, is found, upon careful analysis of the known facts, to afford no foundation for reasonable expectation of increas- ed crop yields, when financial possi- bilities are considered. It is true that the total ultimate energy devel- oped in 1.760 years from a pound of radium will be equivalent to seventy- five tous of coal, or to 35,000 horse _power days of twenty-four hours each; but when the time is reduced to one- hundred days of good crop-growing weather. and the amount of radium re- duced to ten milligrams, costing $1,000 per acre, then ~the energy emitted from the radium for the possible bene- fit of an acre of com during the crop season would. be equivalent to one horse power for only twenty-two sec- ons`; and the heat evolved by $1,000 worth of radium on an acre of land in one hundred days would be less than the heat received from the sun on one square foot in thirty seconds. RATIONAL SOIL ENRICHMENT The only materials which needed be added to the most common Illinois lands for their positive and permanent -msg I _ enrichment are limestone. phosphate,` and organic matter. These are the unly necessary materials which are not provided naturally in inexhaust- ible supply. Of course, the organic matter supplies the nitrogen, whether applied as farm manure or in crop res- idues end legume crops plowed under. On soils subject to much erosion, the application of phosphorous is usually not profitable or necessary, since the supply is renewed from the subsoil. On peaty swamp soils and on some sand lands potassium is needed; but the normal lands of thestate contain in the plowed soil of an acre from 25,000 to 35,000 pounds of potassium (from 30.000 to 40,000 pounds of pot- ash), and in rational systems of farm- ing the addition of commercial potas- sium on such lands is unnecessary, un- profitable, and unwise. In e. word the well-informed farmer on the common Illinois land will pur- chase and apply limestone and phos- phate; but he will grow the organic matter on the farm, secure nitrogen from the inexhaustible supply in the air, and liberate potassium from the inexhaustible supply in the soil; and he will not waste his money on so-call- ed "complete" fertilizers, nor on new- ly advertised soil or crop stimulants. -Illinois Exp. Station. SALT AB A POISON FOR STOCK. Although a certain amount of salt is a necessary adjunct to the food of animals, an excessive quantity is in- jurious. In the case of pigs and sheep, 4 to 8 ounces is said to have produced poisoning (see Lander. Veterinary Toxicology, 1912). ln larger quanti- ties it has proved fatal to horses and even to cat')e. Fo\vls would appear to be particularly suseptlble. Ac- cording to experiments conducted by Luifran, -1 grams per kilo livo weight are fatal ‘I injected in solution into the crcp. Recently several instances have been brought under the notice of tho In-partmeiit of Agriculture of New South Wales. in which the deaths of poultry and pigs have been traced to on excessive amounr of salt in the food. In a fowl which had died suddenly, the coiitcrits of the crop weighed 5 gms. and were found to contain 2.42 glns. of salt, or -1.84 per cent. The department therefore warns farmers of the necessity of care in using certain foods found in the mar- ket. One ssmple of pollard was dis- covered to contain no less than 32.2 per cent by weight of common salt. Other samples contained varying amounts down to 5-8 per cent. One carie of poisoning of pigs was reported and it was found that the food sup- plied to them was a. mixture of poll- ard. barley meal and 11.66 per cent of salt. » The toxic effect of salt appears to be due to its action on the muscles, so that the animal becomes unable to walk and ,finally to stand. Death is caused by asphyxia, due to lose of power in the respiratory muscles. - TAKE CARE OF THE PASTURE. Perhaps there is no crop which is treated as carelessly by the farmers of this Province as the pasture crop, and it is one of the most important. If we will consider the way plants grow we will appreciate the diner- ence between good and bad treat- ment. If manure is spread on dry ground and there is no rain-fall it does not assist in the growth, and as soon as the rainfall takes place the soluble parts of the manure are washed into the grouhd and taken up by the roots of the plants. They' pass on up through the roots and stems into the leakes. In the leaf it meets carbonic acid which has been taken out of the atmosphere, Now the machinery for manufacturing plant food is in the leaves and the more leaves there are the more plant iood is manufactured, so that this mach- inery gets all the manure taken up from the roots and the carbon- ic acid is taken in through the leaves and turns out manufactured plant foodf The more green leaf they have thenefore the more plant food can be manufactured, so that grass that is six inches tall will manufacture more plant food each hour than grass that is two inches tall. If the machines run equally fast the grass six inches tall should manufacture three times as much as grass two inches tall, but it is not the case, because the sun supplies the energy which drives the machinery and this taller .grass is more or less shaded. But we can ac- cept it as a working principle that grass six inches tall will grow twice as much each day as grass two inch- es tall, therefore it is anything but good economy to turn the stock out 'on short pasture. We all appreciate this for every- body knows that ii cattle should turn out in the spring before the grass gets a good start there is poor pasture all summer.. If they are kept , off the grass until it is six or eight I inches long there is likely to be the llatter part of the summer because thcre is so much more growth each day. Again by turning cattle out too early in the spring the grass becomes so compact that the roots of the plants penetrate the soil particles, and get the necessary plant food.. Further when the grass is grazed many of the plants die amd give the weeds a chance to get ii foothold. Further, _the stock do not make the same use of the pasture for they gpendpil their time hunting for food they use up too miuch of the food re- pairing tbe wean and tear of the body. Pasture land where labor is dry should be one of the beet money making producers of the farm, but too often it is the exact opposite. |More of our farmers should give the pasture a square deal by not turn- r cattle out too soon or by Wales. ing thei not grazing' lt too closely. _ , _ , _ _ _ _ 1 __ _ ____ -_._,_-_-_-_-_~_-_-_-_-_-.--:~.v=::.~=- Private Private Private Private Private Private William Mclntyre, Cha Lieutenant Morrison.
