Considering the value which attaches to the growing of legumes us a means of restoring soil fertility much practical interest will attach to circular No. C3 issued by the bureau of plant industry at Washington under the title "Methods of Legume Inoculation." In this brief pamphlet are discussed the two methods which are at present followed in soil inoculation preparatory to the growing of leguminous crops. There Is pointed out the fact conclusively demonstrated in this and foreign countries that each species of legume may be inoculated more successfully by using the bacteria isolated from that species than those isolated from some other species. The two methods of inoculation are by transfer of soil from au established field of the legume which one intends to grow and by the use of pure nitrogen fixing cultures. In the former case from 200 to 300 pounds of soil from a healthy old field of the same crop or a thrifty new field are mixed with several times its weight of ordinary soil and the mixture drilled or broadcasted on the land to be sowed to the legume. If broadcasted the field should be harrowed Immediately, and. If possible, this should be done to ward evening or on a cloudy day, as sunshine is very harmful to the bacteria. In the second case a bottle of the pure culture of the proper kind of bacteria Is opened shortly before the seed is to be planted and mixed with the proper quantity of water and this applied to the seed in such a way that all of it will be moistened, though not soaked. Drying of the seed may be hastened by adding sufficient dry, sifted earth. Attempts to inoculate soli by either of the above methods may not be successful if climatic or other conditions are not suited to the growth of the crop in a given locality. However, the department of agriculture is anxious to aid in this work of Introducing the growth of the legumes in new sections and will furnish the pure cultures free in reasonable quantities, requiring only the filling In of blank reports, which are forwarded for the purpose from time to time. A SERIOUS CORN PEST. The larger cornstalk borer is an Insect pest that does much damage annually to the corn crop from Maryland south and as far west as Kansas. It was originally an enemy of the sugar cane and Is supposed to have been introduced into this country with cane cuttings from the West Indies, Central and South America. It is also found in British Guiana. Java and Australia. The damage by the worm Is of two kinds that done first in the tender, growing stalks when the leaves and the crown are often riddled and that which is done later In the season when the worm bores about in the base of the stalk just above and below the surface of the ground. This damage is not always apparent in fact, seldom so unless the weakened stalk Is broken over by the wind, which prevents the maturing of the ear. In some southern cornfields losses from this source have run as high as from 30 to SO per cent. As In the case of other pests which work Injury to grain crops, the work of the stalk borer can be largely done away by a system of crop rotation In which small grains and legumes are used, as the pest does not persist unless there are stalks in which pupae may spend the winter. In case corn follows corn the damage done by them may be reduced by plowing the corn stubs under to a good depth early in the spring or by removing the Tvhole stalks from the field and burning them. THE CHINESE WAY. An entertaining correspondent of the Rural New Yorker gives a very distinct account of Chinese agriculture as followed In the province of Shantung, one of the most densely populated of the empire. One farm which be visited consisted of 2.5 acres and supported a family of twelve people, besides one work cow, one donkey and two pigs. A forty acre tract in America as densely populated would afford a living for 192 human beings, sixteen cows, sixteen donkeys and thirty-two pigs. The crops which were frown on this Chinese farm were wheat or barley (both of which crops were kept hand hoed), millet, soy beans and sweet potatoes. Instead of hauling their manure afield, as here, the Chinese farmer takes considerable quantities of soil from the field vto bis premises and there enriches It with stable manure, night soil and every possible kiiid of refuse which, decomposed, will nourish plants. When this is thoroughly composted and Its fertilizing elements brought to the right condition It is dried, pulverized and applied to the soil as is the ease with our concentrated commercial fertilizers. The Chinaman is behind the American In a good many ways, but the latter could learn many a lesson In soil conservation from the orient. It beats all how so many of the things which tickle the palate most are the hardest to digest Conducted In as slipshod a manner as the poultry buslnes is, yet the value of the eggs laid annually In the United States is twice that of the total value of all the precious metals mined during a like interval.

Byram Cole is doing cement work for Hagerstown parties this week. the Farmers fectlve sua 3au factory If tht tools are kept sharp with a good sized broad file. It makes all the difference between drudgery and enjoyable work. Any one who wages relentless war on the common housefly along any one of the many lines which are recommended for their extinction not only greatly safeguards his own health and peace of mind, but may properly be termed a public benefactor. The western ranchman is not tempt ed to use his orchard tract for a calf pasture because there is no grass In it only the finely mellowed soil resulting, from frequent cultivations. There Is a scad of calf pasture orchards that ought to be handled iu this same way, The thinning of apples on horizontal limbs shows the best shaped as well as the largest sized fruit to be on the underside of the limb. This is doubt less due to the fact that s a result of the law of gravity a major portion of the sap flows along the underside. For the same reason a wouud will heal over more quickly on the under than on the upper side of a limb. , One appreciates more readily the possibilities of destruction by forest fires in parched sections where the conifers abound when he sees how like gasoline a small cypress will flare up and burn. What takes place when a forest of these pitchy trees catches fire and is fanned by a high wind Is simply beyond the power of words to describe. The little slug, half snail and half worm, which consumes the leaves of cherry and pear aud sometimes apple trees, leaving but, the skeleton framework of the leaves, can be easily killed by spraying the infested trees with commercial arsenate of lead at the rate of two and a half pounds to fifty gallons of .water.. If it is more convenient to use parts green about .five ounce' should be used to the same quantity of water, u little freshly slaked lime being stirred in to prevent a possible burning of the foliage. Aside from the fact that water sprouts .which grow up from the lower part of the trunk and from underground give the orchard a most slovenly and unkempt appearance, there Is a still stronger reason for their removal from the fact that if they are visited with the pear blight, an easily transmissible and most dangerous tree disease, the Infection will be more quickly communicated to the trunk or roots where its eradication is not only difficult, but may result in tho serious disfigurement or destruction of the tree. All these sprouts should be re moved well up into the bead of the tree, as well as fruit spurs, which are equally susceptible to infection, j Perhaps the most important of the later sprayings for the codling moth Is that which Is given between July 20 and Aug. 1, depending somewhat upon season and locality. For this a stand ardmake of commercial arsenate of lead should be used at the rate of from two to three pounds to fifty gal lons of water. The spray should be applied with good pressure, and both fruit and leaves should be well coated with the poison. While parls green may be used for this, there is much greater danger of a burning of the leaves and russeting of the fruit, while it does not adhere to the fruit as well as does the other poison. The southern cotton farmer consoles himself with the thought that raw cottonseed meal returned to the land is a valuable fertilizer and restores much of the strength removed in the harvesting of the cotton crop, when he should rather take note of the other fact that if this same cottonseed meal were fed to dairy cows there would be just as much fertilizer to return to the land in the shape of rich manures, while the fertilizing elements would be in a form to be much more readily assimilated by the soil and he himself be ahead in the dairy products result ing. In other words, the dairy business promises him more prosperity than does furnishing oil for the oleo manu f acturers. Chickens are about the only kind of live stock that can safely be allowed the run of the orchard, and there is no question whatever that they render a very important service in the de struction of a great variety of insects, including bugs, worms, ants, etc. Some husky half grown chicks which have the run of the Writer's orchard have got on to the fact that the ants, which do much damage by moving their "dairy cows," the aphides, from twig to twig on the young apple trees, make headquarters in the cracks In the soil at the base of the tree, and they are frequently seen very indus triously scratching this soil away that they may get the ants and tbeir larvae. We plan to have ten times as many chicks doing the same thing next sea son. mere is many a equine that seems to serve no other earthly purpose than to eat scraps from the table, which might better be gives to the chickens, sad lie at the corner of the bouse to rush out at passing pedestrians and teams.

Stagnant pools on or near the premises may be kept from being a harbor tor the pests If a cupful or two of kero sene are poured on their surface. A Minnesota hog raiser whose herds have been Immune from cholera when his neighbors bare been heavy losers attributes his freedom from loss to the fact that he has purchased generous quantities of slack coal and scattered It where the hogs could get it whenever they liked.' While this simple preventive of cholera Is not vouched for by veterinary authorities. It Is Inexpensive snd worth trying. There is a whole lot about creed, theology and the hereafter that we don't know, but It seems to be a practical as well as safe conclusion that none of us will enjoy the heaven to be In a large or satisfying degree unless we do what we can to promote tho happiness of those with whom we live here below by fair dealing, kindness, sympathy and unselfishness. Our religion will doubtless be tagged "counterfeit" If as a cloak It Is put on only In prayer meetings and on Sundays and thrown aside or forgotten the rest of the week. In auswer to a query of a reader of these notes living at Dover, Det, which Is typical of several which hare been received, the writer would say that he has published no book under the title "Farm, Orchard and Garden," but simply prepares three columns of weekly notes which appear In many news and agricultural papers over tho country. The matter is put In stereotype or plate form by the American Press Association of 45 Park place. New York city, and may be got in this form from any one of the company's sixteen branch houses over the country. Any Individual may have the reg-" ular reading of this matter by subscribing for a paper which uses It. The bindweed, or wild morning glo ry, belongs to that pestiferous .class of weeds like the Canada thistle and quack grass, which not only propagate by maturing seed, but also by mean of their root stalk systems, every piece of which will start a new plant a-grow-ing; hence eradication of It Involves ' an entire digging of these root systems from the soli or a careful plowing at blossom time, when the vital energy of the plants Is taxed to tho limit, and the heavy broadcasting of millet buckwheat or rye, which will germinate at once and . whose dense. rank growth will smother the bindweed out The plowing of this growth under early in September usually puts on the linisbing touches, so that there will be no further trouble from the pest the following season. Veterinary science has done much to safeguard the health of our domestic animals, and one of the direct results' of its recommendations Is the quits' general use to which the dipping tank Is put as a means of ridding hogs, sheep aud cattle of parasites or bacterial ailments. A dipping tank for ' grown cattle is a large affair and quite expensive, but a tank . large enough to accommodate hogs, sheep and calves' may be bought at a very reasonable figure. And it is a good Mm in Hta then animals' in occa sional dipping as a preventive measure. Not only tbeir health is safeguarded and Improved, but they ars more thrifty and make a more rapid growth, as a result of the treatment, which Is the prime consideration with every grower. Disinfectants for use in the dipping solutions are on the market and are both cheap and entirely effective. The only way that seems possible of explaining the all too limited use to which the King road drag Is put is .that Its very simplicity snd cheapness of construction have tended to place. It in disrepute, whereas if it were an implement of road improvement which cost ten times what it does it might have come into more general use. But, whatever the reason, the facts as they stand prove that as yet we come a long way from taking advantage of the menus nuiui viu rcavu ur ivni tur provement Another phase of this same regrettable failure to do the best we can is shown in the very limited use of broad tired wagons when they are not only handier in everyday use, but would do wonders for our highways if used instead of the narrow tired vehicles in hauling bulky produce to market Win seme states and counties a portion of the road tax is abated to all users of broad tired wagons. The plan ought to become tar mora general than at present . , t ne Flower Simp Aecf2&t Is E. D. KKOLLEnCERG Room 6, KnoJlsnbsrgs Annex.
