SHADE GROWING. Strauberrleu ( ucniubrrn, Celery find Other Plant* Indcr Tent*. I The alleged success of tobacco grow rrs in producing a superior quality of le.if under touts lias led to tlic inquiry whether a similar covering might not I prove of value to other plants. Experl i ments to test this with several kinds of vegetables and with strawberries were made in 1903 at the Khode Is land station and are now reported upon. The same kind of cloth was obtained as that used for the tobacco work, it being a thin cotton fabric, similar to STRAWBERRY TENT. cheesecloth. Three tents were erected. Oue was placed over strawberries. This tent was covered on the top and on the south and west sides, leaving the north and east sides open, except for one breadth at the top. The cloth was put on this tent June 3, just as the berries were beginning to turn. The weather proved unfavorable for such a test, for a great deal of rainy and cloudy weather followed, causing a lurge amount of rot in all the straw berries. There was too little sunshine, even for those in the open field. Con sequently the results were unfavorable rather than otherwise, so far as any were observed, but the effect was very Blight at most. With hot, dry weather at picking time the tent might prove of value. A tent open on all sides, having mere ly a top cover and a single breadth of cloth on the sides near the top, was used for cucumbers In comparison with similar plants in the open ground. In side the tent twenty-two vines, in seven hills, survived the battle with the bugs and reached bearing size. Outside the tent twenty-nine plants, in seven hills, survived. Thirteen fruits, weighing al together two pounds and one and one half ounces, were harvested on vines Inside the tent. Twenty-six fruits, weighing nine pounds and two and three-eighths ounces, were harvested from the outside vines. The tent cov ering seemed to prove of no value in warding off beetles or mildew. In fact, the shaded plants seemed to be even more badly diseased than those in the open. It was felt that with cucumbers the tent must be left open to permit of the blossoms being pollinated by in sects. In the experiment with lettuce, cel ery and cauliflower, a long tent was used, divided into two sections. The south section was entirely closed. The north section was left open on the north and east sides. As the season progressed it was observed that the celery under the tent appeared better than that outside. It was lighter in color, more upright in growth, and the stalks were decidedly longer. When harvested in November the celery from the open tent averaged 25 per cent taller than that grown in the open ground, and that from the closed tent averaged 40 per cent taller. The celery from the closed tent was better in other ways. Not only were the stalks longer, but the color was better, being more nearly blanched, and there was less waste material In the shape of roots and leaves. Plants outside of the tents suffered much more from early frost tliau did those inside. The flavor of the celery from the closed tent was much superior to that outside. That from the open tent seemed to differ but little from that grown outside. In the matter of ten derness very little difference was to be observed. The celery grown inside the closed tent seemed slightly more stringy than that grown outside. It is possible that the better flavor of that grown inside may have been due in part to its having been more complete ly blanched. With cauliflower the Influence of the tents appeared to be less marked. Those under the open tent were badly injured by worms. Under the closed tent the injury was not serious. The shade had a retarding effect upon the CELEBY FROM SHADING EXPERIMENT. [l, from closed tent; 2, from open tent; 8, from outside, north section; 4, from outside, south section.] heading, those plants under the tents being later in maturing than the ones grown outside. Several of the outside plants were killed by the root maggot. The tent appeared to give a decided advantage to transplanted lettuce. The plants started off more promptly, and fewer had to be replaced. That In the closed tent appeared to do a trifle bet ter than in the open. Aug. 20 lettuce Inside the tent was apparently not heading as well as that outside, but the leaves appeared to be more tender and delicate. As far as full comparison of yields are available they show a much heavier yield from plants grown in the open ground. GREAT FACTS FROM OHIO. fan Sllase lie Ma4e the Principal Element In the Dairy Cow Ration f By C. G. WILLIAMS. The prevailing high prices of grain feeds in the face of very moderate prices for dairy products have reduced the dairyman's profit to a point where it is a question with him whether he can make the cow pay for the large grain ration he has been accustomed to feed. If he can dispense with half the grain he has been feeding without ma terially reducing his production of milk and butter fat his chances for profit have increased. The object of au experiment at the Ohio agricultural station was to deter mine whether silage might not be sub stituted for a considerable portion of the grain usually fed to dairy cows. Two rations were fed carrying practi cally the same amount of dry matter. In one ration over r>o per cent of this dry matter was derived from silage, and less than 18 per cent was derived from grain. In the other ration over 07 per cent of the dry matter was derived from grain, no silage being fed. Ten cows, representing live different breeds, were fed these rations from two to four mouths, live cows taking the test the full four months. The cows fed the Milage ration pro duced 0(5.7 pounds of milk and ">.OB pounds of butter f:it per hundred pounds of dry matter. The cows fed the grain ration pro duced 81.3 pounds of milk and 3.9 pounds of butter fat per hundred pounds of dry matter. The cost of feed per hundred pounds of milk was so.t»!s7 with the silage ra tion and $1.05." with the grain ration. The cost of feed per pound of butter fat was 13.1 cents with the silage ra tion and 2-.1 cents with tbe grain ra Hon. The average net profit per cow per mouth (over coat of feed) was SS.SG4 with the silage ration anil ?2.4ftT» with the grain ration. Comparing the average daily product of each cow for the entire test with her average dirflj' product for the month previous to the change in ration (or the first month of their test in the case of two cows), the cows fed the silage ra- i tion shrank 2.84 per cent in milk and j gained 1.59 per cent In butter fat pro- | ductiou. The cows fed the grain ra- | tion shrank 9.11 per cent in milk anil | 14.1S in butter fat production. Tpon the conclusion of the experi- j ment each lot of cows was found to have gained In live weight—the silage fed cows an average of forty-seven pounds per head, the grain fed cows an average of fifty-seven pounds per head. The facts herein reported seem to Justify the conclusion that silage can be made to take the place of a consld erable portion of the grain ration. It is believed that by growing more of the feeds rich in protein—clover, alfalfa, soy beans, cowpeas, field peas, vetches —and ensllolng them or feeding them as hay it will be possible to further re duce the amount of grain fed. MOISTURE IN THE SOIL. Various Henna In l'»e Fop Conaerv- Iqr It at the Surface. An important question with farmers, though one not always appreciated, is how to prevent losses of moisture from the soli by evaporation. These losses are often greater than most of us real ize. It is stated by Professor Jeffery of the Michigan State college that losses by evaporation where the soil Is well supplied with moisture may amount to an Inch of water in four days. Other facts and ideas from the same author ity are as follows: It Is generally be lieved that the more frequent the culti vations the greater the saving of mois ture. Generally ppeaking, this Is true so far as has been studied for clays, loams and possibly sandy soil. It is not true for all soils. Soils rich In organic matter, such as the muck soils, profit by single cultivation, but so fur as they have been studied frequent cultivations do not promote the further savftig of moisture. In practice it Is found that, with cul tivated crops on the soils indicated, fre quent cultivations with cultivator, har row or weeder not over two Inches deep prove most satisfactory. It Is found, too, that those who are most persistent In frequent shallow cultivating find It n profitable practice. Harrowing; Grain. The harrowing of grain crops is com ing a good deal into favor. Going over the winter wheat field one or more times in spring with a spike tooth har row is found to give good results. Some farmers in the west practice har rowing their grains until they are so high as to bo apparently considerably broken down by the harrow bars. The Dry Earth Mulch. A layer of dry soil is much more ef fective in preventing moisture evapora tion than a layer of like depth of uioi3t soil, and so it Is sought by many ,iu practice to develop by frequent cultiva tions a shallow dry earth mulch or "blanket," using the harrow, weeder and later the many toothed cultivator. I'linff the Roller on Grain. The use of the roller upon a field of grain after the grain Is well up gives excellent results in cases where the surface Is lumpy and dry. The reason lies largely In the fact that In crushing the lumps a dry earth mulch is devel oped to lessen the evaporation, while the packing of the soil may have the effect of Improving capillarity below. Shade Gardening. An experimenter in Connecticut re ports that cucumbers, watermelons and muskinelons grown under shade were not a success. The vines grew well, but the fruits were small. In the case of cucumbers a few reached small pickling size. The melons did not do as well. LOST IN THE AIR. Bird* at Time* Get L'onfn*e4 and Lose Their Benrlnes. Boys are frequently lost in the woods, and it is a singular fact that birds are sometimes lost in the air. This might o£ein strange to almost any one, but Uie average man Is a superficial ob server of little things. In the far north, and particularly along the ocean coasts, birds are fre quently storm driven and lose their bearings, so that many of them are lost at sea. They keep floating in the air, aimlessly striving to live until exhaus tion compels them to drop into the an gry w.aves, which engulf them. There Is a well authenticated case on record of an ocean liner bringing into New York on a winter's day a largo white owl which bad dropped to one of the forward spars in an exhausted condition more than 800 miles off the coast of Newfoundland. It was near ly dead from cold acil hunger and al most too weak to eat anything. It had become much emaciated and treiuulpd in its distress when It tried to swal low the first morsel of meat which was placed within Its beak. The captain and sailors were all Interested In It. and under their nourishing care It slowly recovered and became entirely well and healthy and strong. It will ingly remained with the ship after ward. It was evidently a land bird which had been blown off from the coast of Newfoundland by strong west winds, had become lost, merely drifted be fore the gales, kept out of the water, almost starved to death and made Its last intelligent effort to reach the ship and there fell in exhaustion and col lapse. Old sailors narrate many other in stances of finding birds that have been lost In the r«!r.—St. Louis Republic. No Pauper* In Japan. With all our high wages and boasted civilization the fact remains that you will see more wretchedly poor In any of our great cities in a day than you will see in Japan in a lifetime. In other words, you will see no destitu tion In Japan. Though some are very poor, yet all seem to be well fed, cloth ed and housed and are invariably cheerful and, what is more s'.irprising, invariably clean. There are no paupers in Japan and therefore no workhouses or poorhouses, though there are many hospitals where the sick are healed gratuitously. Practically every one can earn a living.
