New England Homestead. Grain and Dairy Farming;. An Important difference between dairy farming nnd grain farming is the amount of the farm that is sold with the product that la of the fertility ot the fmm. The mini who sells a ton of wheat sells in it about $7 worth of fertilizing elements, nnd If he does not buy something to replace them his fntni la so much poorer. The dairy miiu who sells n ton of butter has sold but fifty cents' worth of fertilizing uia terlnl, and If he Is a good dairyman, he has probably added much move thnn that, or twenty times that to the value of the farm In the lirmi, oil meal, cot ton seed or other food that he pur chased while feeding his cows for mule lug that tun of butter. It is In tlii way Hint the dairyman's farm Is rou iiiiunliy growing inure productive, nnd If he does not niiike much from his ilu try, he should from the crops that he enn grow on h'.s much enriched soil. The Cultivator. Fertilization of Corn by I'ollrn "If the grain Is not fertilized by the pollen from the tassel, will corn de velop? C. II. II." The kernel of corn will not develop without fertilization by pollen. The embryo of the corn kernel after fertilization by pollen grains begins to develop, nnd nlong with It the starch, oil, protein and min erals of the kernels nre stored about the germ. This storing of materials of plant food In the kernel Is for the sole purpose of furnishing the young plant after germination with plant food. If uo grm Is developed, there Is no neces sity for the storing of plant food. Consequently, the kernel does not develop without the fertilization cf the germ. This lias beon Illustrated very clearly during the past summer in many Illi nois corn fields. The hot winds blasted the tassel, that Is, destroyed the corn pollen, so that lu some fields there was not enough pollen to fully fertilize the ors. On such ears as were partly ertllized. the unfertilized kernel did tot develop, but appeared ns smnll vhlte pimple-like projections on the ;ob. After the rest of the ear hnd leen fertilized, these white projections tried up. and the remainder of the ternels on the ear developed to such in extent ns to spread over nnd take '.he place, in part, at least, of the miss ;ng kernels. American Agriculturist. Cioio riuiitiiiK ol Ortlinrdi, The average person Inspecting n young fruit orchard is struck by the fact that there stems to be a good deal of waste of land, and the question he iiaturally nsks Is, why don',-, they plant '.he trees closer? There has beeu In recent years a theory advocated' that orchard trees should be planted so far apart that the whole ground would not ho cust In the shade when the trees reached full maturity, aud at the same time we have been warned not '.o attempt to raise crops between the ows of trees unless we turned them inder to enrich the soli. But I think liiiny practical horticulturists ure reaching the conclusion that there Is loo much waste spare In an orchard, nil thai some method can be devised to reclaim this w aste. Close planting naturally frightens many away, nnd they shake their himds prophetically. Nevertheless, there have been some excellent results obtained In close planting which must ut least convey some valuable lessons to us. There have been harvested In this and other Slates somo largo crops of nppleii where the trees were ouly half tho distance apart lu thn rows which has always beeu recommended. These rows themselves were the regu lation, distance away, but between them were raised nursery stock, young trees, vines and plants that 'were to be transplanted elsewhere when old enough. The results were all satis factory, but they were achieved only through a systematic cultivation und manuring of the laud. Where trees partly shade young nursery stock from the hot suit they are less liable to be Injured from sunscald. The chief question that concerns growers ex perimenting win, tiose planting Is that of enriching the soil so that It cun nourish the double cropB. This Is miiilo possible only by adding to the soil all that Is taken from It by the Uees. Market gardeners find that the more tiny cultlvute their soils the (fuore they will produce. 'It Is equally true of our oreliard. If w crowd tbcia ui.m little bur id tun bo done U we put on suftiolent crop food. More experiments and tests In close planting are desirable to enlighten u on this point.!. W. Chambers, la American Cultivator. It nvwtng an ! Ktrawtitrry Rrrl. I believe the surest and best way fot farmers to provide themselves with an abundance of strawberries every year Is to plant a ikw bed each year. Yet It Is often desirable for several rea sons to renew an old one and thus. secure two nnd sometimes even three or four crops from one planting. Tnore are two ways of doing this by plowing and by burning. As soon as the picking season Is over the renewal work should begin. Ity the first method I throw two light furrows from the same side toward each row; then train the runners on this freshly plowed ground, where. If the -weather Is favorable, they will soon catch and n new row of strong, healthy plants will be established nnd a bed fully as good ns n new one se cured for next season's crop. To renew by burning, ns soon as the last berries are picked. I take my mowing machine and mow the patch as close ns possible. Within a few days It will become perfectly dry nnd then I Are It. and usually It will bur:i off till the whole patch will look as Jw n nn.' ';. as the road, nnd one would tbi'.ii; every stianbeny plain and. In fact, all vegetable life wss killed. Then with a sharp cultivator and a strong horse for at this season the ground Is apt ta be hard and dry I tear the spaces between the rows up thoroughly, leaving an uncultivated space where the plnnts nro, only about eighteen Inches wide. It Is surprising how soon after the first rnlu the plants will start, and what a strong, vigorous healthy growth they will make, and, If kept clean during the rest of the sea sonand the work can almost all be cheaply nnd easily done with n horse and cultivator almost as good, and often n better, crop can be secured the second season than the Orst, with less than half the labor. I much prefer the cecond method to the first. It often happens that the ground Is so dry and bard that It Is Impossible to do a satisfactory job of plowing, nnd If the dry weather con tinues one will hardly get a good stand of young plants, nnd, beside, It Is quite Impossible to get the ground levelled down again so the patch will present n neat appearance, and the work of cultivating and hoeing is much greater than by the burning process. I only practice this method when the ground is wet und conditions nre favorable for plowing and unfavorable for burning. I suppose this crude, rough way of growing strawberries will excite the niiiculo or professional growers and horticulturists. It Is a farmer's way. If we grow strawberri: s at nil we must do it easily. We are obliged to econo mize time and labor. It would never do .to neglect the crops nnd general farm work. The luxuries must ever give way to tho necessities. E. 1 Snyder. In New York Tribune Fariucr money lu ItuekHcplng. The hives used were made to order. They hold twenty Longstroth frames crosswise ami ure expressly used foi extracted honey. The total cost of the hives, fixtures and house was SlUo, not counting the bees. The top row of hives rests on a frame just high enough so I can raise the covers and look Into them comfortably, as the In terior view shows; the other row reste on the floor. The hives are only one story, so there Is no use for queeu ex cluders and no t Icing up to be done.

About the middle of April, when the weather was favorable to opeu hives. I took the long Ideal hives Into my homo nplary and transferred the bees and combs fro uithe chaff hives tut? them. It was only necessary to take three frames at u time and lift thei: from one Into the other. Toward even ing, when the bees stopped flying, 1 closed the entrances with wire net tlug, loaded them on a wagon mid drove to the bee house and they were soon nuanged lu position.

Such an enormous quantity of rice is now being planted In the Southern sea benrd States where suitable stretches cf land for Its cultivation exist ss to call attention to tho Importance which rice bns ossnmed among the cereal crops. This Is due to several causes, chief of which Is the care taken by the Government to foster ond enlarge the scope of this Industry. For several years past the United States lias Im ported from abroad seen rice to expert nient with In the rice lands of this country, and now has a commission at work, under the direction of Its Di partmcnt of Agriculture, studying rice. Its culture, and the lands wherein It has been and may be grown lu every pert cf the world. The reputation of this country for Us success in the cul ture of rice Is known In the Fast, and It was to the United States that Tur kev turned for Instruction and Infer nation relative to putting certain Hnds under cultivation In rice. .Iipnn bus varieties of rice, many m . v. l. iij-mted '(1 'erli an s and tne. knuwu us the "short straw Japan." is in general use iu the Gulf cosst r'.ce belt.

' Tho tuited States Uico Commission Is ctmnosed cf Professor S. A. Knapp nnd 1'rofessor W. II. Ileilman. l'ro fesstr Knnpp, who left Iowa, and took up his residence In Southwest Louis iana several years ago, for the benefit of his health, has become an expert upon the subject of rice culture. He has he-en making a tour of the world studying the processes of raising lice lu various countries, and especially In China, Japan, India, the Philippines, Egypt und the Islands of the I'lielHe. and he has scut to the experimental growers in this country seed that seemed to hiui adapted to the soils of their States. Professor Ileilman Is making n soil survey of the rice belt, after which he will map out Its different soils and de termine their adaptability to various qualities of rice aud other crops mid decide what fertilization might be ad vantageously supplied, i For many hundreds of miles under the rice belt an underground reservoir of fresh water, at a temperature of seventy degrees. Is tapped nt a depth vnrjlng from li" to y(K) feet. The United States Government Is endeav oring to discover the coins? and extent of this underground liver, which sup plies Innumerable deep-well Irrigation plants nnd canals with an Inexhausti ble quantity of clear water. This un derground river is easily tapped. A well has been sunk In It to a depth of 200 feet In fourteen hours' time. It lies In the region of the oil reservoirs and sulphur beds of Southwest Louis iaiin aud Southeast Texas; how far be yond is not yet determined. liirougn tne wide extent or rice lauds, wild nnd cultivated, which lie la this region, Cow ten navigable nnd many smaller streams besides a hun dred Irrigation canals which vary In engtli from one to forty-five miles and iii width from twenty to 150 feet. These have many miles of laterals and pumping stations, or relifts, wherever n fall In the Incline of the land throws the canal below its highest level. The canals are built In the ridges, or high portions of the prairies which are from si;: to twenty-five feet above the sur face of the streams that traverse them. Some of these pumping stations have n cupuclty of 250,000 gallons a minute, but most of them overage 20,000 to 50,- 000 gallons a minute. The Chinese claim to have been cul tivating rice for 5000 years, and their crop has attained to 3,000,000.000 bar rels annually. Iu this country the first rice that grew successfully was In 1(104 nt Charleston, S. ('.. and in the Gulf coast rice belt In 1847, while the total rice production lust season represented four and a half pounds per capita. Louisiana and Texas produced over uOO.OOO.OOO pounds between them, and have enlarged their canals many miles. Increased their acreage, und ar ranged to produce double that amount this year. . Under the Irrigation system a rice crop never falls, as It is not subject to the effect of low water In tho rivers or drought. Over' thirty rice mills, largely owned by New York capital, are situated lu the rice centres of Louisiana und Texas, exclusive of those lu the large cities. These have a dally capacity of from 300 to 3500 barrels, and can ware house as high as 100,000 sacks of rice at cue time. These sucks hold 102 pounds of rice in the hull, or 100 pounds nnd over cf clean, polished lice. Notwithstanding the Increase lu Irri gating canals and lice acreage the ce real did not assume great proportions ns n merchantable article until the Gov ernment took on Interest In It. Thou the It ice Association of America' es tablished a kitchen ut the liuffalo Ex position, where lice was cooked lu 200 different ways by culluary artists, who could have made anything taste delic ious. This was a great advertisement for rice, aud tho association, which in tended to sink money in tho venture, cleared $3000 over and above all ex penses. The Southern. Pacific ltnlhoad Is reported to have spent' $100,000 lu making known the values of rice, act Is now maintaining rice kitchens l.t Washington nnd other large cities, with a view to educating people In th--art pf preparing rice. These various endeavors to further rice Interests, combined with the work of the Carolina It Ice Growers' Associa tion, have not only Increased the dc--immd for rice as a nutritive article of diet, but have Increased the applicants for rice lands. Those lands have ud vuncfd In values ranging trom $1 to $10 per acre to from f 15 to $30. The latter is now eu average price for the b?st rice lands. This price la being paid for land under which oil Is known to lie, with no Idea ot ever boring for 111 lift the purt of the purchaser. Meu who own lice luuds in tho Irri gated territory of Louisiana and Texas either put In one dccr-wator well Jo every 200 acres to be Irrigated, or pay the Irrigation companies a sum ot never more than $1.50 per acre to water their lands. If the land Is owned by tli" companies they furnish land, seed and water for one-half the crop, or furnish water only to any fanner for one-fifth or one-fourth of his crop. The average cost of cultivating nn acre of lice Is $10. and It yields $30 to $40 per acre, so that nearly every man who leases a farm one season owns It the next, It be has an average good crop. Nearly all the big mills and Irrigating systems arc owued by organizations of farmers who protect their own In terests nnd prevent the eating up of property on the mortgage system by outside capitalists. They also own great warehouses for storing rough rice, so that they need not be com pelled to throw their rice upon the market when a corner has been made or a full market has lowered the price.
