Wagon Scoop Board.
This is my description of a scoop
board for a wagon, writes a corre
spondent of Farmers' Mall and
Breeze: First, get two eight-Inch
boards about two and one-halt feet
long and taper down on one end about
four Inches. Then get two two oy
fours two inches longer than your
wagon box Is wide. Use eight-penny
nails in nailing tne floor to tne two
by fours and six or eight-inch boards
for the floor of scoop board. Nail to
gether and bore a flve-eighths-inch
hole through the outside floor board
about eight Inches from the end for
the rods. Use three-eighths or one-half-inch
rod b with one joint about
four inches from the upper 'Side
boards at the ends and nail two cleats
on the upper and lower side of the
Dve-eighths-inch holes so it won't
split out when scooping from the
board. Bolt a two by three piece to
the end piece of the wagon box, using
bolts three-eighths by six and one
bait inches long. Bore two holes in
a piece of side board iron or thin
Iron about one inch wide and eight
Inches long for screws, bending It as
shown in small end, to fasten the
rods and hold them in place to keep
the board closed.
New Tomatoes For Forcing.
In the propagating houses of the
Department of Agriculture, the Bu
reau of Plant Industry has been
making experiment with a view to
procuring an ideal Cwiato, which in
the language of an ot'-.ial of that bu
reau is a fruit without a depression
at the stem end; a round fruit with
ridges; a fruit with the interior well
formed and compact and a fruit of
medium size growing in large clus
ters. The forcing of tomatoes under
glass has assumed considerable pro
portions in the Middle and Northern
States, and the demand for the green
house crown crop is steadily increas
ing. This is due, it is stated, to the
fact that tomatoes when grown under
glass are superior to those that are
grown in the extreme Southern
States and which must necessarily be
picked partially green and shipped
long distances before reaching our
markets. For special table use, such
as is demanded by large hotels, the
greenhause-growc fruit will always
be in demand.
While a number of the varieties
of fruit on the market to-day Is go'od,
none has all the characteristics which
Would render it Ideal.
The Bureau of Plant Industry has
for the last three or four years been
crossing varieties with a view to se
curing types with characteristics ap
proximating the ideal. Out of a large
number ot forms a few kinds have
been secured which give good prom
ise of finally producing a form which
will fill the present void. ,
' Good Fruit Finds Good Market.
Although New England is the home
of the commercial apple, and the
leading variety, the Baldwin, has
been grown here for many centuries,
yet our farmers have allowed fruit in
terests of other sections to surpass
them in applications of the best
methods ot culture, harvesting and
marketing. It is pointed out by our
leaders In horticulture that Immense
profits are being lost through lack
ot cultivation and general care from
planting the trees to marketing the
trull.
The Scoop Board Closed.
The Way It Opens.
First rate apples are never without
a good market It pays to raise ap
ples that are too good to be barreled
but good enough to be wrapped In
paper and carefully paoked in new
boxes. Such fruit needs only to be
shipped a few miles and is able to
compete with the Pacific Coast fruit
that comes 3000 miles. All that is
needed Is good soil, fertilizing and
culture with careful handling and
marketing. Our farmers have the
market-for retail apples all to them
selves, yet produce hardly any fruit
.that can be ranked as first class in
the early part ot the season. There
is no reason why farmers should not
raise fruit that will sell for as much
by the box as most apples now bring
by the barrel. Apples at fl per box
in average seasons would be profita
ble, while- SI per barrel hardly pays
expenses. In some years our farmers
would be favored by good crops at a
time when there was a shortage In
other sections, and the average price
of the fruit from year to year would
be at a high level. Both the yield
per acre and the price per bushel
might be doubled by careful methods.
M. D. P., in the Amerloan Culti
vator, rianting Rules.
Thoroughly compact the soil about
the seeds and so hasten germination.
Remember that rows which run
north and south allow the Bun's rays
to reac,h both sides ot the plant a
distinct advantage.
Plant seeds ot string beans every
fortnight, so that there will always
be a Bupply of tender pods.
Forget that potatoes were ever
planted in hills; level culture Is much
better. Plant the tubers in deep fur
row's. -
When planting large, flat seeds, set
them in the ground edgewise. Ger
mination is more certain.
Make sowings once a week of such
quick-growing vegetables as lettuce
and radishes, to Insure a continuous
succession.
Sow radish seeds in the same row
with slow-germinating seeds. They
will come up in a few days and mark
the rows for cultivation.
To get the earliest cucumbers, mel
ons and summer squashes, sow the
seeds early on inverted Bods or in
small pots in the house or coldframe.
Do not follow your grandfather's
custom ot planting beets, lettuce, on
ions and such vegetable in raised
beds. They dry out too quickly, as
well as being difficult to cultivate.
Do not expect peas to mature well
in the hottest weather. You will be
disappointed. But sow the seeds ot
an early variety in August and you
will get a good crop in the fall. Spray
with a potassium sulphide solution to
keep down mildew.
Rotate the crops in the garden.
Land that grew any of the cabbage
tribe last year should be planted to
beans or some other class of plants
this year. Many troubles like club
foot will thus be avoided. As a rule,
follow root crops with those which
grow above ground. Suburban Life,
Farm Notes.
For hogs rape has proven to be a
great feed.
Broilers shrink about half a pound
coxa wnea aressea.
Rape is an excellent forage for both
beef and dairy cattle.
Prune and spray it you want good
fruit Now is the time.
The shell of an egg contains about
fifty grains of salt of lime.
Forty dressed ducklings are packed
in a barrel for.shipment. ,
From thirty-five to forty ducks and
drakes are allowed in a pen.
The duck averages ten dozen eggs
in about seven months' laying.
Sheep also like r&pe and thrive
when allowed a liberal supply.
An apple grower in Ohio credits his
extra large and fine crops of apples
to faithful and persistent spraying.
When cultivating the plum or
cherry orchard, the work must be
done shallow that no roots will be
broken, for '.broken roots send up
shoots .that sap the life of the tree.
When we see so many farmers'
wives with none of the modern con
venlences of the dairy, to lighten her
burdens, is it any wonder we hear so
many say it does not pay to make
butter?,
A wound made while. removing a
limb heals best if the cut Is made
close to the trunk or branch. A stub
a few Inches long does not heal' and
becomes a lodging place for spores
ot fungi and bacteria which cause de
cay and death of the tree.
For soiling purposes, or where rape
is cut and fed to the stock, it should
be drilled in rows wide enough apart
to admit of horse cultivation. It win
then grow to a large size and is more
convenient to get at In cutting. Do
not cut It closer than five or six inches
of the ground, as It grows up again
so much more quickly than when
cut close.

CAPTURE OF VERA CRUZ
Anniversary of an American Triumph
In the War With Mextco.
During the war between Mexico and
this country, Gen. Winfleld Scott, with
an army of about 12,000 Americans,
landed in the vicinity ot Vera Cruz, on
March 9, 1847, and immediately invest
ed the city, which, with the castle of
San Juan de Ulloa, contained a garri
son of about 4,500.
Scott demanded the surrender of
the city and fortress, which was re
fused, and then tried to Induce the au
thorities to send the women and chil
dren out of the city, but this also was
refused. On March 22, assisted by a
fleet under Commodore Conner, Scott
began a bombardment which contin
ued with but little intermission for
four days, the shells' doing great dam
age and causing much loss of life. On
March 28 the Mexican commander
made overtures for surrender, and on
the 29th that event took place. The
Mexicans marched out to a plain
about a mile from the city, and there
laid down their arms, gave , up their
flag, and retired to the Interior on pa
role. The city and fortress, with BOO
pieces of artillery and a large quantity
of munitions of war, passed into the
possession of the Americans. During
the siege the Americans lost but 11
killed and 66 wounded, while the Mex
icans lost fully 1,000 in killed and a
large number of wounded.
