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

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. Would that we could say
the same! —Pall Mall Gazette.
Pn«t and ConMuniption.
Dusty « ork seems to be responsible
for consumption to a marked degree.
In 2.1G1 cases of consumption treated
at the sixty institutions of the Ger
man empire 1,095 patients had been
employed in a dusty environment. The
kind of dust was not stated in -I'll
cases; in 182 cases it was metal dust;
In 129, stone, coal or glass dust; in 113.
wood dust, in 111. wool du*it, and in
120, various other kinds of dust.

Backed up by over a third of a century

An »xpericnce which many women hare was
related by Miss Agnes Stebbings, of jji East
30th Street. New York City, as follows "I
had very poor health for a year until life
locked dark and dreary to me. Had head
aches, backache, also pain, my sleep was
broken and fitful. I longed for health. Tried
several medicines but none were of any last
ing benefit until I toolc IXxtor Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription. I soon realized that I
had found the right remedy. It helped nature
to throw off the poisons that saturated the
svstem, removed all pains and strengthened
the digestive organs, and brought the roses of
health back to my cheeks. This medicine if
taken occasionally keeps the system in perfect
condition, helping it to throw off the disease
and consequences of exposure to dampness. I
am pleased to give it my endorsement."
"Favorite Prescription" makes weak
women strong, sick women well. Ac
cept no substitute for the medicine
which works wonders for weak women.
