One of our subscribers asks us to
give the best method for packing trees
and vines in a cellar, to insure the
Jeast injury or loss during winter.
This is a subject that has attracted
the attention of horticulturists and
nurserymen for many years, and it is
along this line that much stock has
been damaged from winter packing.
For several years we packed our cel
lars using pure black earth or sand.
Either of these have been satisfactory
but there is a great drawback when
you have any great quantity to
pack owing to the great weight
of either earth or sand, and having
to be removed by shovel makes
it quite expensive in packing large
cellars. We have tried with good
success wood fiber in the pack
ing of trees, etc. The fiber above
referred to is the sawdust from a shin
gle mill, and should be used fresh and
not allowed to become heated by lay
ing out in large piles during the sum
mer. We use one-third Spagmum
moss, and two-thirds shingle shavings,
or wood liber. This way of packing
has this advantage, that there is no
possible chance for it heating, and it
letains moisture well. In unpacking
our cellars we have found it 50 per
cent easier to handle. To the above
we wish to add that ventilation is one
of the main requisites in packing trees
away in cellars. Never pack trees in
a cellar that is under a house used
for a dwelling as it is next to impos
sible to keep the conditions right, as
they will become too dry during our
winters, and as a rule they do not
have the proper ventilation. The best
cellar for wintering stock is one
built out of doors, using as a roof
either a brick arch, or a lumber roof.
In either event, ventilators should be
built every eight feet, so as to insure
perfect ventilation.
Where but few trees are to be
packed away we believe the best way
is to heel them in in open ground, as
nature furnishes all the conditions
and with a little mulch over the tops
during our winter months is all that
is necessary.
Two men will work horses side by
side on the same farm. The horses
may be about equal on the start. The
feed is taken from the same mow
and also from the same bins and the
labor is the same in quality. The
team driven by one man will keep in
good condition, all the while; that
driven by the other will be in low
condition before the end of the sea
son. What makes the difference? In
the first place the care given to the
horses in the stable, and in the second
place the quiet way in which the labor
is done. One man will handle hi"
horses without irritating them, the
othor man has them in fear all the
while.
QUACK GRASS SEED.
The oat crop ripens latest of all the
small grains, and where the land is
filled with roots of quack grass some
of those will get even start with the
grain, and will ripen their seed at the
same time. Quack seed is very small,
so that in winnowing the oats of it
will fall through the seive and be
separated from the oats. But some of
the quack seed is likely not to be
threshed, and will then go into the
stalk. It is in this way that quack
grass often spreads from a small place
over the entire farm. When it gets
into the manure pile, there is no stop
ping its progress. Late oats and late
hay grown where quack grass is now
to be should be kept by themselves,
and,the oat straw be sold to some fac
tory where it will not go into any
body's manure pile.
FARM HOUSE CELLARS.
Most cellars are not only too warm,
but too damp. The latter evil is easily
remedied by putting a few lumps of
unslaked lime in various parts of the
cellar, where it will absorb the sur
plus moisture. It will also help to ab
sorb the odors of decaying vegetables,
which are held in the moisture of the
air. which is sweetened when they are
removed. To keep roots in "cellars,
some dirt should be thrown over and
sifted among them. This will also
protect them from being frozen, if
the cold weather causes the ther
mometer to sink below the temper
ature for freezing.
SOIL FOR BULBS.
All bulbs like a rich, well-drained
mellow soil. They will not do well
in heavy soils, and a great deal of
moisture about their roots is fatal to
them. Therefore in selecting a place
for them choose one naturally well
drained, if possible. If you are not
sure of good, natural drainage, set
about providing a means of escape for
surplus water by excavating the soil
to the depth of at least a foot eighteen
inches would be better and filling in
at the bottom of the excavation with
from four to six inches of broken pot
tery, brick, old cans anything, in fact,
which will not decay readily and allow
the soil above it to settle back into its
former hardness, and thus become as
retentive of moisture as it was before
anything was done with it
In this day and age when things
are figured down fine, a cow that pro
duces less than two hundred pounds
of better fat is not a paying invest
xpoL with grain and hay at present
jjrices.
NOTES ON THE STRAWBSRRY.
Land for strawberries must be prop
erly prepared. We saw a case this
year where strawberries were set out
on virgin soil soil that had never had
the plow on it, and where the ground
was so compact that even the natural
verdure on it was thin and weak. This
land, although manured, did not do
well, and should not be expected to
do weil, in helping to make a good
trawberry bed. Though the growing
season has been a good one, most of
the plants in question are now small
and stunted in appearance. Had the
year been a dry one they must of
necessity withered and died. Land
like the above lacks both the mechani
cal structure and the plant food to
permit the strawberry plant to do its
best.
Nurserymen are often blamed for
sending out strawberries that do not
come up to the expectations of the
buyers. In many cases the poor re
sults are directly traceable to the man
ner in which the plants were handled
by the purchasers or to the very un
prepared condition of the ground in
which they were placed. The land for
strawberries must be land that has
been growing some thrifty crop and
that has received proper manuring
and attention. Virgin soils are not
suitable for the development of a
crop that must feed as grossly as
does the strawberry. Land well
worked and well-manured and of prop
er mechanical structure will give
good results when the plants are prop
erly handled and taken care of. It is
our experience that the nurseryman
is seldom to blame, but the buyer
often. This is especially the case
when the buyers are people setting
out a strawberry bed for the first
time.
The custom of dipping sheep once or
twice a year has now become a part
of their regular work incidental to
sheep husbandry in well managed
flocks. It is only quite recently, how
ever, that dipping has been resorted
to as a means of removing ticks, lice
and other kinds of vermin from cat
tle, also certain skin disease. Some
owners of large herds are construct
ing large vats at considerable expense
and are experimenting in order to
ascertain as to whether cattle will
rot be benefited as much from dip
ping annually as sheep.

CLEAN AND PURE FEED.
Poultry that are fed grain receive
pure feed, but it is not by any means
advisable to make grain the sole
ration of the poultry. Soft feeds will
have to be fed to some extent and
troughs must be used for this kind of ,
feed. Where the residue is left to sour j
the fowls will show the effects in time. '
Fermented feeds no not appear to be
readily digested by poultry. Careless- .
ness in the matter of cleaning the ,
troughs may cost the poultry owner .
dear. It requires some effort to have I
the feeding and watering vessels al- ,
ways clean, but it is the only thing
that should be done. Spoiled food is
a disease breeder and it should not be
permitted within reach of the fowls.
UTILIZING COW PEAS.
A poultryman, reports that an acre
of cow peas was left uncut near his
poultry yard, and during the winter
his hens attended to the harvesting of
the peas. He was surprised to re
ceive almost double the usual amount
of eggs during that season, and asked
if the peas had anything to do with
it Cow peas are rich in protein,
therefore should assist in forming
eggs. The exercise in securing the
peas is another factor which recom
mends this practice to the poultryman
in search of winter eggs. It would be
a good plan to give cow peas a trial.
If ventilators are put on the barn,
see that they are not so placed that
they will cause a draft of air over the
stock.
In kodaking a mule, don't focus the
rear unless you have a wheelbarrow
escapement handy.
Keep the machinery oiled; better
work can be obtained from oiled machinery.
BUILDING THE ICE HOUSE.
The following suggestions on build
ing the ice house and storing Ice will
be found helpful. They are from the
pen of T. B. Terry, of Minnesota. The
ice question is one that the farmer
should pay more attention to, and at
least experiment with it It will not
be a costly experiment, but on the
contrary will be found to be almost
indispensible, once tried. The season
is now at hand when the work can be
commenced. The lakes, creeks and
ponds, already frozen over will soon
produce ice of sufficient thickness to
store and in great abundance. Get
your ice house ready for it, and next
July and August, and during several
other months, you will thank your
lucky stars you were so provident Mr
Terry's helpful suggestions on the
subject follow:
"Ice will keep, be the house above
ground or below, if the construction
and management are right There are
three points that everyone absolutely
must pay attention to. They are ven
tilation above the ice, drainage below
it, and a body of sawdust or similar
non-conductor, about one foot thick,
on top, bottom and sides. The ven
tilation can be obtained by good sized
openings in each gable of a small
building, or on all four sides of a larg
er one. The opening may be covered
with wire cloth, to keep out the birds.
Blinds may be used, with large slats
turned down so as to keep out the
most of the rain, while letting the
air in freely.
"The drainage under the Ice may
be obtained in various ways. The
well, or pit, is all right, provided it
is fixed so water can be readily got to
the well, and it is mimned out. or
! soaks away before it becomes full. A
foot deep of small stones, covered with
two inches of gravel, will also make
a fair drain and a proper foundation.
The water may be taken away from
below this by tile drains that run out
side to some point that is low enough.
Bear in mind that the water must not
stand under the ice; you must fix It so
it can get away out of the foundation
as fast as it comes, that is all.
"Now with these precautions. It
doesn't matter particularly what the
building is, whether of brick, stone,
slabs, or lumber, cheap or costly.
Just pack your ice on the sawdust
leaving a space a foot wide all around,
and fill up solidly with sawdust as you
go up. There is no need of sawdust
in the roof, or In walls of buildng. A
single inch board is as good as more
for sides, or at least is good enough.
The sawdust, with its air spaces, keeps
the ice."
A day spent now in cleaning, oiling
and putting under cover all farm ma
chinery not needed until another sea
son will pay big interest in time and
money saved. We always followed the
practice of cleaning and oiling plows,
cultivator teeth, corn planter knives,
in fact, everything that will rust. Lin
seed oil is good for this purpose, and
can be easily applied to the wearing
parts of machinery with a rag. We
went further and applied oil to wood
work where needed, using a brush for
the purpose. More than that, we
housed every tool on the farm when
not in use. Weather often does more
damage to expensive machinery than
actual wear. Of course the machine
agent likes -to see machinery standing
in fields and fence corners covered
with rust and decay, for he has more
to sell, but the farmer who takes care
of his implements is his poorest cus
tomer CARING FOR THE BULL.
The bull should have a ring in his
nose about the time he is a year old,
says Charles L. Hill, and earlier if
he is headstrong, 'and as soon as it
is healed he should be taught to lead
by it, and always be handled by a
stall. A daily grooming will greatly
improve his looks and doubtless do
him good. Do not keep your bull in
a foul dark pen, but if possible give
him a light airy box stall, in sight of
the herd of cows, and be sure and
clean his stall, and water him daily.
Do not abuse him, but still be firm
with him. Never fool or play with a
young bull, but always make him
mind, and then as he grows older
never give him a chance to know that
he can do anything else. Do not trust
him if he is gentle, though you may do
as you please about it if he acts cross.
It is always the gentle bull that kills
the man. Careless handling of bulls
has cost our state some of the best
dairymen and breeders.
A noted sheep raiser says that it Is
a mistaken idea to think that one
should depend principally on corn for
fattening sheep; one should use plenty
of bright, sweet, roughness such as
J clover hay, sheaf oats, mixed hay,
j millet and-there is nothing superior to
j corn fodder or hay cut from new
meadow with plenty of weeds in it,
for sheep are fond of weeds and never
fail to eat all such feed.
Any time now, as soon as the
ground is frozen the strawberry bed
may be covered for the winter. For
this purpose nothing is better than
marsh hay; the next best materia! is
corn stalks, then clean straw of any
sort The sole object of covering the
bed is to prevent the thawing of the

''Some days before our departure
from Moscow for Nizhni Novgorod we

"There were two of us, and by book

to avoid trouble in obtaining places,
but to insure a night's rest in the

WOES OF -BLOCKADE 'RVffJtE'R
Here is a tale of adventurous block
ade running during the Russo-Japanese
war: In December of last year
the steamer Carlisle, Capt Jessen,
1,035 tons, belonging to Leith, Scot
land, left Vladivostok with arms and
ammunition worth over 14.500,000 on
board, destined for Port Arthur. Be
fore that port was reached, however,
it had surrendered to the Japanese.
Capt Jessen altered his course while
he had yet time and stood out to the
open sea. All went well until the
steamer was 300 miles to the east
ward of Yokohama when the Carlisle
lost all her propeller blades. The cap
tain rigged up sails on the steamer's
stumpy masts, and navigated his ves
sel 2,000 miles southward, ultimately
dropping anchor in San Miguel bay,
Caramines, in the Philippines, on Feb.
13.
Japanese in the vicinity had heard
of the vessel's arrival and disguised
as fishermen set out in four sampans
to attack and if possible sink the ship.
LITTLE MAJTS
A little man of 12 years, already a
qualified practician in silence and obe
dience, whose father owns a large
rubber 'plantation in Central America,
and who not long ago secured options
on two plantations adjoining his own,
went to New Orleans to raise the
money to purchase them.
In a short time his wife secured an
option on a third plantation, which
he very much desired, but which he
had not been able to set before leav
ing for New Orleans. WUh a wife's
caution, she was afraid to trust the
option to the mails, so she sewed it
carefully in the lining of her small
son's jacket, and sent him north by
the next steamer.
"Mind, you are not to talk to any
body!" was her parting injunction.
The'boy obeyed her so literally that
half the passengers thought him
dumb. Several persons took a kindly
interest in him, and tried to make the
voyage pleasanter for him; but he re

read "Maud," the first copy of which
had just reached him; but it was
known that Carlyle could not endure
to hear any one reading aloud. What
was to be done? A plot was laid to
have the reading during the time of
Carlyle's morning walk; but for this
he always demanded an appreciative
companion. Mrs. Brookfield says:
"Chairs had been arranged in a quiet
sitting room; the visitors were taking

With the assistance of the customs of

Manila, where she was interned by
the American authorities. At Manila
the Carlisle was provided with a new

a Japanese cruiser which kept con
