A MACHINE THAT SAVES.
Manure Spreader Ii a Conservator of
the Farmer's Titna and Money.
Any machine tbat saves time Is wel
comed In a commercial bouse or bank.
Any business man will listen to a
proposition to buy an appliance that
saves time, as time is money, because
help cost money. If the machine
makes work lighter, does It better tUiiu
the old way, there is a double argu
ment for owning It The manure
spreader does for the farmer what the
letterpress accomplishes for the mer
chant, and still it Is not properly ap
predated, says the American Culti
vator. A little gumption is required
to learn to operate one, and many who
own spreaders have not given sulliclent
patience to acquiring the knack of run
ning tbem so that they are well liked
and used as much as should be the
case. Most persons have never con
sidered the saving made by this ma
chine. H will distribute a load of ma

can do this? In many instances it
may be set where the stables may be
cleaned directly into It, thus saving
one handling of the heavy, disagree
able stuff and the time required.
Under these conditions the daily
spreading aud closer conservation of
this valuable matter are made a habit,
which In Itself Is an Inestimable ac
quisition. The saving In nianurlnl val
ues Is estimated at fully one-tblrd the
total amount made where drops and
absorbents are employed, as they
should be on every farm. This amounts
to at least $." per cow per year. All
other farm machines are used only
four to six weeks In a year, while the
spreader Is paying for itself the year
round. The boy who is not stroug
enough to spread manure In the old
way may easily put on the horses and
by the use of the machine do this
heavy work before going to school In
the morning, and be can do it better
than the strongest man with a fork
Then there Is the advantage of having
the fertilizer spread fine as well a
evenly. The farmer who doesn't owu
and use a manure spreader Is behind
the times and la In a losing race.

rieties stocks of the native species
should be used. Miner is highly rec
ommended as a stock for the Ameri
cana plums by some of our Iowa grow
ers. Under average conditions spring Is
the best time for planting plum trees
In exceptional seasons, with a favora
ble moisture supply, fall plautiug
may be done with success, provided
the work Is done early, so that the
trees may become re-established before
winter sets in. Often, however, the
moisture supply In the fall Is an un
certain quantity, and if the ground is
at all dry the tree which bas been re
cently disturbed is likely to suffer se
verely during the winter.
The distance apart to plant depends
somewhat on the variety and also on
the type of soil. Generally eighteen to
twenty feet apart gives ample room.

Right Way to Grow Sweet Corn.
Shallow cultivation of sweet corn
should be practiced to preserve the
moisture of the soli, since this crop
requires a large amount of water In
Its growth and Is likely to suffer from
drought
The Maine experiment station pub
lishes the following recipe for the dry
mash which it has tested and found
excellent as a poultry feed: Two huu
dred pounds good wheat bran. 100
pounds cornmeal. 100 pounds mid
dlings (or Ited Dog flour). 100 pounds
gluten tuenl or brewer's grains. 100
pounds linseed meal aud 100 pounds
beef scraps. This should be thoroughly
mixed on a clean floor before being
put In the feed hoppers. The scratch
lug ration recommended by the same
station consists of four quarts of
screened cracked corn, two quarts of
wheat and two quarts of oats for each
hundred heu (Ily mouth Ilocki daily.

After testing several methods of
making clover liny Professor Iloberts
of the Cornell ,N. Y.t experiment sta
tion recommends, the following proce
dure as most satisfactory: lie cuts
the crop whtn-moderutcly ripe uud
ouly during those hours of the day
when the dew Is off. The hay cut one
day Is left until the following day and
while hot is put In small hunches and
left until the next moruiiig. when they
are turned lightly and carefully and
loaded with as little shaking as possi
ble aud mowed away, being salted at
the rate of three pounds per ton as un
loaded. The animal husbandry department
of the Pennsylvania Agricultural col
lege reports the ease of a creamery
manager who refused a graduate of
the state dairy school a ten dollar a
month advance In wages, hired a man
at the lower figure, and on the 49,000
pounds of butter made during the en
suing months lost $8G9 as a result of
a slump In the overrun from 11) to 13
per cent. This Is a concrete illustra
tion of the shortsighted economies
practiced by many folks engaged In
many enterprises. The lesson Is so
plain that it does not need pointing.
The artichoke, until a few years ago
considered a troublesome pereuuial
weed, hard to eradicate, is now viewed
by some hog raisers as a valuable
source of succulent feed, the hogs be
lng turned luto the field In the fall ot
the tubers dug aud stored for winter
use. The artichoke Is haudled much
as are potatoes and may be planted up
to the latter part of May iu sectious
where rainfall or artificial water sup
ply is available for their proper
growth. They yield as high as 300 to
400 bushels of tubers per acre, which
contain more protein aud more fat
than do potatoes.
While parls green has been consid
ered a standby as an lusecticide by
orchardists for a number of years past
recent experience shows arsenate of
lead to be superior In that It does not
burn or Injure fruit or foliage, Is In
soluble In water and adheres to the
foliage better than does the parls
green. There are several brands of
commercial arsenate which are care
fully made and reliable aud which re
quire no preparation further than
working to a fine, creamy paste and
mixing with water aj the rate of from
two to three pounds to fifty gallons
of water. In tweuty-five pound kegs
the arsenate can be bought afabout 13
cents per pouud.
While the sod bound orchard may
produce fruit of a superior color aud
make the work at harvest time a little
cleaner, these are about the ouly ad
vantages that can be claimed for the
plan. The main disadvantages of the
system are that it too often furnishes
an easy excuse for turning the orchard
lot Into a pasture, tbat It consumes
moisture and fertility that the trees
sorely need, while it reduces the size
of the fruit from a third to a half
and provides a harbor for a multitude
of insect pests which are thus able to
propagate undisturbed. If a careful
survey of the situation seems to show
that there 's more, money In rnising
hay than there is in producing fruit,
the trees would better be cut out aud
the hay or pasture Idea given the right
of way.
The new canes fn the raspberry
patch those which will be beating
