The Satiinlav Kreiling Post anres farmers Ulm raise peaches, -ea island cutton Of c.ica-. th( th. v Bead n. lunger fear "peach leaf curl," 'yellows," 'little peach disease," 'tton wilt," r "pen oirkness." All these ili-eases are due to fungus parasitea, which, year after year, hare liet-n slowly but t-urelv spreading through the country. Bnldl the external symptoms, they manifest tlMMMlVM ly causing knots to form oa the roots, Ji reupOB all the small fillers become distorted, swollen, am! incapable of fulfilling their proper functions, and this lead-, of course, to the death of the plant. Ererjr attempt to kill the fungus by the Ofdiwr ways of treating the soil, and the plants with fungicides failed entirely, and growers, were in despair when the department hit upon the cure. W I, en was found it was so ast oundirurh simple that the only wonder was thai no one had thought of it before. It ei m that in manj cotton fields, and in many peach orchards, in many pea patches, there were often observed to be one or" more plants that refuse. ;o lie with the rest and which surrired to come to hearing. When the seeds Of Uttings of these were sown in the sane soil, it tfBa found that a large proportion of the resultant plants p.issesssed the resistant power of the parent. Repeating this process of artificial selection again and again, sooner or later there developed a strain that was wholly resistant to the attacks of the fungus. When this was di i.i t i-problem was solved. STARTING A CORN SHOCK.

The acreage of the indiridual farmer is so small that it does not pay one man to buy a machine, but n nans instances three or four have combined and seem well satisfied They worked perfectly in standing corn and picked up the stalks that were down very readily, making fair bundles. Of course, if the stalk is lying along the row the way the machine is running it cannot be picked up. but if it lies crossways, or, in fact in anyother position, the corn binders will as a rule pick it upiiutlv Where the corn is Badly doom and quite rliie quite a number of cars are knocked off, hut these can be picked up when shocking and no great loss will result. Down FOR STARTING CORN SHOCK. corn can be picked up much b.ttsr than by haiid. The grata ordinarily is cut quite green, BBoeka c ontain 20 to nn bundles. No trouble has been eer: m ed in corn molding. Seren acres i- a good day's work for a corn binder. Two men can keep up shin-king. For shocking, a horse like that shown in thenccompanr ing illustration is rery satisfy lory. When the hock is well startet! the 1 ro-spiece i- pulled out and the horse removed. This horse enables the shockers to make a shock that will withstand riad noch better thaa If i is not used. Any farmer can make this in a short time. The rery heaviest OOTB is thus handled readily by the binder Orange Jadd Farmer. Worai aa Soil Heaaralora. Farthworms are nm aoil farmer, for they are seldom met with in soils that are destitute of organic matter. They are simply renovator. Every time a worm is driven by dry weather or any other cause, to descend deep it brings to the surface, when it empties thee ritent of its body, a few particles of fresh earth. At the same time it fertilizes the subsoil by opening up passages which encourage the root of plants to penetrate deeper, these passages being lined with excreted matter, which provides a store of nourishment for the roots. On meadow land Ihirwin found these worm casts amount annually to II tons an acre, and on good arable land to about ten tons. American Fertilizer Tfee Fool and Ills Maaer.

How foolish, then, f .r the loan who I. a- had little success in general f.irininr to rush into poultry raising on a large scale because he reads in the poultry books or papers that there Is money in it.

Of course, there is not so much hanl labor r-uir.-i a- in some other branches of farm work, hut it is work, nevertheless. A farmer who has a liking for poultry will be more likely to give a flock the food and care they need than n nother. and such a manoring the winter npmths, when BO MM little else to do. might be able to make a good profit n alt fowls.

Yet t hi-must all be done or many of the chicks w ill never reach mat urity. If a firmer has a family of daughters, or a -on whose time is not fully occupied, and, who will give the poultry due attention, it prill he all right to increase the sie of the flin-k. A large majority of men will not give poultry the care they should hare. Most women would do so. an.', th attention in small detail, the "fu-- ng" which make- the difference lietweer success and failure in poult ry ra i -ing. is far more characteristic of the average woman than the man. A woman will watch the little chicks more closely than with the mother hen; shewillapply grease to their heads or chasge the feed at the first sign of drorping. If tri- fowls show- symptoms of scaly leg. she will have them dipped in kern tene at the first apjsearance of the diseasehut the scaly leg is a filthy di--eae not likely to appear in a woman's flock, unless brought there by purchased fowls from some "mere man." If a fOWl becomes cropboond shf m D have the crop opened, sewn up again. nd the fowl will be well Ivefore the ordinarr man would know there was toything b matter. So turn the flock over to the women folk, if they har e not already all the work they should do. Let them hare, of course, the gross receipts from the poultry, and they will soon be bur ing inciilators and other up-to-date appliance, and thus the farm poultry husines- may increase in a nat oral and profitable manner.
