FARM NOTES,
Tir matter of applying manure is
one that is more difficult for the farmer
to determine than many others, as he
must consider the condition of the ma-
nure, the kind of soil and the nature of
the crops to be grown on the land next
season, Above all is the question of
the economy of hauling and spreading
the manure. Then, again, there is the
liability of loss of manure after itis
spread on the land, and also the liability
of loss when the heap is left until spring
before the materials are spread,
If the soil is underlaid with heavy
clay there 1s but little liability of loss
of fertilizing e'ements if the manure is
spread at any time, provided the land is
not subject to being **washed.” There
is at least one advantage in applying
manure in the fall, which is that the
teams are not busy, and the hauling can
be done with but little additional ex-
penses, One mistake wade in applying
manure Is that it is left on the surface,
‘While it 1s considered by some a disad-
vantage to plow the manure under, yet
it will greatly prevent loss If the land is
first plowed, the manure spread and the
cultivator run over the field. By so
doing the manure is incorporated with
the soll near the surface the soluble por-
tions not carried off and the frost given
an opportunity of disintegrating it,
Whether the fall applieation is better
than hauling out the manure in the
spring can ouly be determined on each
farm by the farmers, but much depends
on how the manure is Kept in the heap,
On light, sandy soils, which permit the
rains to go down, a large proportion of
the soluble matter will be carried down
by the heavy rains ‘and melting snows,
which renders fall mavuring of no ad-
vantages, but if the manure be applied
during the winter, in those sections
where a few days plowing can be done
at that season, the manure may be
hauled and harrowed into the soil with-
out danger of great loss.
Tie BEAN REMEDY FOR TOTATO
Bugs. A western farmer wniles ag
item that was extensively published last
season, to the effect that a bean seed In
each potato hill would keep away
potato beetles, The (heory was that the
smell of the bean was so obuoxio us that
the bug would not feed in its vicinity,
Having this in mind I have plant

Sweer PICKLES are really more
wholesome than others, Why? Be-
cause they are often made of fruit
which in itself is a desirable article of
diet and when pickled is softer and less
crisp than cucumbers or other sour
pickles, For peaches, pears, crab ap-
ples, sweet apples, use the following mn-
gredients in this proportion. Three
and one-half pounds of sugar, one pint
of good vinegar and one-fourth ounce
each of whole cloves, stick cinnamon,
allspice and mace to each seven pounds
of fruit, Select perfect fruit, not over
ripe, Cut out the blossom end from

utes and goar immediately over the hot
fruit, Cover and put away.
