wliieh  increase  the*  nemiitotlos,  the  land 
is  cleaned  and  thus  better  fitted  for 
the  cotton.  As  will  be  seen,  the  pro¬ 
posed  rotation  will  not  only  clean  the 
land,  but  bring  in  a  plan  of  mixed  farm¬ 
ing.  which  means  more,  grain,  more  live 
stock  and  a  better  preparation  of  the 
soil  for  cotton  culture.  There  seems  to 
he  no  doubt  about  the  fact  that  Certain 
varieties  of  cotton  will  withstand  the  dis¬ 
ease.  The  best  is  known  as  “Dillon,” 
which  appears  to  be  a  cotton  plant  strong 
and  vigorous,  and  capable  of  producing 
a  large  crop  of  improved  fibre. 
The  Pictures 
A  Young  Iviukk.  Tn  Fig.  334,  page 
SSI.  wo  have  a  scene  enacted  on  many  a 
farm.  The  little  fellow  has  often  ex¬ 
pressed  a  desire  to  ride  on  the  horse’s 
back,  and  it  seems  a  good  time  to  have  bis 
picture  taken  when  bis  ambition  lias  been 
gratified.  There  lie  is  perched  where  lie 
wanted  to  go,  but  from  bis  appearance  he 
Is  a  little  hit  frightened  and  wishes  he 
was  down  on  the  ground  again.  lie  is 
held  on  securely,  however,  and  should  lie 
fall  olT  on  the  other  side  there  is  a  good 
fielder  standing  in  the  road  ready  to  run 
and  make  a  fly  catch  before  he  strikes  the 
ground.  Tt  is  a  great  thing  for  a  child 
when  he  first  begins  to  realize  something 
of  power  over  the  farm  horse. 
The  TTvsy  Knx. — A  hurried  time  on  a 
busy  farm  calls  all  hands  into  the  har¬ 
ness,  both  indoors  and  out.  Something 
may  have  happened  to  one  of  tin*  work 
horses  on  this  farm — perhapa  his  shoul¬ 
ders  were  sore  or  the  women  folks  may 
have  hitched  him  to  drive  off  to  town.  At 
any  rate  plowing  is  not  going  to  stand 
still  for  the  lack  of  a  team,  and  we  see 
how  this  bull  is  hitched  up  beside  the 
horse  iu  Fig.  335.  1  Le  may  be  a  little 
slow,  but  he  bus  got  the  power,  and  here 
is  a  good  chance  for  him  to  display  it-  Tt 
takes  two  hands  to  do  this  work,  one  to 
drive  and  the  other  to  hold  the  plow,  but 
they  are  turning  it  over,  and  while  the 
horse  does  not  seem  entirely  proud  of  its 
companion  ho  is  doing  bis  share. 
Peach  Sorters. — There  is  likely  to 
bo  a  lively  time  in  the  peach  orchard  this 
year,  and  it  is  time  to  get  out  the  ma¬ 
chinery  and  the  apparatus.  The  picture. 
Fig.  336,  shows  a  sorting  table  used  on  a 
Western  New  York  farm.  Many  of  the 
farmers  along  through  the  fruit  belt  of 
,Xew  York  are  very  ingenious,  and  have 
worked  out  home-made  contrivances  for 
sorting  and  packing  which  save  much 
hand  labor.  Tt  is  time  now  to  overhaul 
the  machinery  and  get  things  in  readi¬ 
ness. 
Tank  From  Si uo  Form. — A  water  sup¬ 
ply  in  the  barnyard  comes  next  in  neces¬ 
sity  of  convenience,  to  a  full  supply  in  the 
bouse.  Sometimes  the  barnyard  is  served 
before  flic  kitchen.  This  is  a  mistake, 
but  there  is  great  need  of  a  full  water 
supply  within  reach  of  the  thirsty  stock. 
The  picture,  Fig.  337.  shows  a  concrete 
tank  made  in  the  form  of  a  silo.  This 
gives  good  satisfaction,  as  it  contains 
water  enough  to  supply  the  stock  fully  at 
all  times,  and  is  low  enough  so  that  they 
can  drink  out  of  if  without  trouble. 
Lockport  Farmers’  Congress 
The  Farmers’  Congress  held  at  Lock- 
port.  N.  Y.,  .Line  1st  to  3d,  was  a  great 
success.  The  chief  object  of  this  Con¬ 
gress  was  to  call  attention  to  the  possi¬ 
bility  of  farming  and  fruit  growing  in 
Niagara  County  and  Western  New  York. 
If  was  organized  by  the  Lockport  Board 
of  Commerce,  and  the  Grange,  the  Niag¬ 
ara  County  Farmers’  Club,  and  other  or¬ 
ganizations  helped  develop  the  celebration. 
Among  speakers  were  Governor  Whitman 
and  Senator  Burton  of  Ohio.  While  fann¬ 
ers  were  very  busy  with  spraying  right  at 
this  season,  they  turned  out  by  the  thou¬ 
sand-  In  one  of  the  parades  were  mem¬ 
bers  of  the  Grange  of  Niagara  County, 
also  the  Niagara  County  Farmers’  Club, 
in  autos.  One  thing  about  that  country 
is  that  whenever  such  a  parade  is  wanted 
it  is  easy  to  find  hundreds  of  farmers  who 
will  come  to  the  front  right  in  their  own 
cars.  There  was  an  excellent:  program, 
roost  of  it.  grouped  around  the  proposi¬ 
tion  that,  fruit  growing  is  the  great  busi¬ 
ness  of  Western  New  York,  and  that 
everything  possible  should  be  done  to  or¬ 
ganize  and  develop  it  us  has  been  done  in 
California.  One  of  the  most  direct  and 
forcible  addresses  of  the  Congress  was  de¬ 
livered  by  Mr.  Seth  .1.  T.  Bush.  He  gave 
a  strong  and  thorough  discussion  of  the 
needs  of  organization  and  business 
methods  by  New  York  fruit  men.  We 
shall  give  the  strong  points  of  this  ad¬ 
dress  in  a  series  of  coining  articles,  as  it 
contains  facts  and  suggestions  which 
every  farmer  may  well  learn  by  heart. 
The  Congress  was  a  great  success,  and 
ought  to  prove  of  real  service  to  Western 
New  York. 
Crops  and  Prices 
May  17.  Spraying  was  delayed  on  ac¬ 
count  of  so  much  snow,  and  was  not  so 
thoroughly  done  as  in  other  seasons  on 
account,  of  other  work.  It  is  my  opinion 
that  peaches  and  apples  will  bring  a  fair 
crop  in  this  locality.  P.  G. 
lrondequoit,  N.  Y. 
May  30.  We  have  bad  very  disagree¬ 
able  weather  the  past  month.  We  have 
had  very  heavy  rains  which  in  some 
places  did  more  damage  by  washouts 
than  when  the  snow  went  off.  The 
ground  has  fitted  very  hard,  being  packed 
so  firmly.  Some  have  oats  to  sow.  and 
those  that,  are  coming  up  are  very  un¬ 
even,  owing  to  the  wet.  There  has  been 
very  little  corn  planted  yet;  some  gar¬ 
dens  are  not  made.  Alfalfa  is  making  a 
rank  growth,  as  is  wheat,  and  grass. 
Pasturage  is  very  abundant.  Butter  30c; 
eggs  21c.  e.  t.  n. 
Canandaigua,  N.  Y. 
May  31.  The  fruit  blossom  is  at.  its 
best,  and  it  is  very  damp  and  rainy. 
Early  apples,  including  Fall  varieties 
like  Gravenstein,  Harvey's,  Fameijse, 
Duchess  and  McIntosh  and  pears  are 
blossomed  full.  Ben  Davis,  Stark,  Rus¬ 
sets,  R.  I.  Greenings  and  Spys  blossomed 
very  heavily.  Kuhlwin,  the  main  crop, 
gives  an  average  bloom.  This  section 
promises  crop  nearly  equal  to  1 !  >1  1 . 
Much  concern  Is  felt  in  regard  to  outlet 
for  the  crop.  Barrels  will  cost  36  to  Site, 
labor  .$2  per  day  and  board.  Season  fav¬ 
orable  for  fungus  troubles,  up  to  present 
time.  Spray  not  so  well  done  as  usual 
in  many  orchards.  Some  did  not  put  on 
the  dormant  or  pink  bud  spray.  First 
calyx  spray  will  be  more  thoroughly  ap¬ 
plied.  Many  props  and  some  thinning 
will  be  required  if  fruit  sets  well.  Trees 
wintered  well.  Not  so  much  fertilizer 
used  as  usual.  Last,  of  1015  crop  net 
about  -$1.60  for  Ben  Davis  and  Russets 
fresh  packed.  Some  sold  early  in  Spring 
at  .$1  and  .$1.25  per  bhl.  Planting  of 
crops  very  late.  Some  oats  and  grass 
seed  sown.  Part  of  gardens  planted.

Corn  planting  here  is  mostly  a  week  or 
10  days  late  on  account.  <>f  cold  weather 
the  first  half  of  May.  The  local  papers 
report  much  corn  being  replanted.  The 
last  half  of  May  has  jjpeii  almost  ideal 
conditions  for  corn,  and  whore  good  seed 
bus  been  planted  there  is  a  full  stand  of 
thrifty  plants.  Because  of  the  almost 
total  failure  of  the  corn  crop  here  last 
year  many  farmers  have  bad  to  buy  their 
seed  corn.  Prices  asked  have  been  from 
$5  to  $10  per  bu.  for  home-grown  fire- 
dried  corn.  Oats,  wheat  and  barley  are 
in  fine  shape.  There  is  not  much  rye 
here,  but  what  there  is  is  beaded  out.  and 
is  in  good  condition.  Alfalfa  and  clover, 
where  the  fields  had  a  good  growth  left 
for  Winter  protection  arc  about  as  good 
as  usual.  Alfalfa  is  just  budded  and 
stands  two  feet  high;  will  be  ready  to 
cut  in  about  10  day's.  There  is  much  in¬ 
terest  in  dairying  in  fins  section.  Most 
of  the  milk  is  sold  at.  wholesale  and  is 
mostly  shipped  to  Chicago  and  other 
cities.  Average  juice  paid  to  farmers  for 
the  six  months  beginning  April  1  is  $1.5.» 
per  cwt.  Farms  here  have  good  pastures 
and  are  well  stocked.  A  large  amount 
of  beef  is  produced  here  but  just  at  pres¬ 
ent  there  is  a  very  strong  tendency  shown 
towards  getting  in  on  the  milk  end  of  the 
business.  J*  B.

May  20.  Most,  of  the  corn  has  been 
planted  ;  a  good  deal  of  it  is  not.  yet  up. 
Where  up  it  seems  to  he  good,  flats  are 
not  grown  in  large  quantities  here,  but 
some  were  sown  this  Spring.  Most  of 
them  promise  a.  fair  yield.  1\  heat  is 
very  poor  this  Spring,  probably  will  not 
exceed  half  a  crop.  Dairying  is  increas¬ 
ing;  we  have  a  creamery  in  Cnrbnndale, 
also  one  in  Murphysboro.  some  shipping 
to  other  points.  Cream  is  worth  30c  per 
3  b.  butter  fat.  Milk,  retail,  7  or  8c  per 
qt.  Some  who  have  a  regular  line  of 
customers  for  butter  are  getting  35c  per 
lb.  Milch  cows,  assorted,  are  worth  $•>() 
to  $100  with  few  selling  at  the  latter 
figure,  Ajqile  crop  not  near  as  heavy  as 
last  year;  however,  some  varieties  prom¬ 
ise  a  fair  crop.  Strawberries  not  very 
good  this  season.  L  Tt.  A. 
Murphysboro,  Ill. 
Corn  planting  is  about  two  weeks 
later  than  usual.  I  have  not  seen  any 
up  as  yet.  Very  little  home-grown  seed 
corn  from  last  year’s  crop,  What  was 
saved  bad  to  be  picked  before  ripe  anil  it 
shrunk  very  badly  when  dried.  Some 
had  two-year-old  seed  which  grew  well 
last  year,  but  unless  stored  carefully  did 
not  grow  this  year  owing  to  so  much  wet 
weather  Inst  year.  Some  planted  without 
testing  again  and  will  have  to  plant  over. 
Seed  planted  before  May  22  bad  to  lie 
very  strong  owing  to  the  cold  wot  weath¬ 
er.  Frost  the  night  of  May  17  but  ideal 
corn  weather  now.  Oats,  wheat,  and  bar¬ 
ley  look  well,  fully  up  to  the  average  and 
a  larger  acreage  than  usual  as  consider¬ 
able  clover  and  Alfalfa  froze  out  aud 
bad  to  be  plowed  up  for  corn.  Grass 
left  with  a.  good  growth  on  in  the  Fall 
stood  the  freezing  and  thawing.  We  are 
nine  miles  north  of  Elgin  in  Mvllenry 
County  and  all  milk  that  is  not  con¬ 
densed  goes  on  the  Chicago  market.  At 
Huntley  we  have  three  factories,  namely, 
•Ttdke’s  Bntterine  Co.,  Victor  Mey’s  BoD 
tling  l’iant  and  Borden  Co.  About  225 
dairymen  averaging  six  or  seven  eight- 
gallon  can s  per  day  each  in  the  Sum¬ 
mer  (move  in  Winter)  deliver  here.  The 
Borden  plant  at  Iiuntjey  is  dosed  this 
Summer,  owing  to  the  fact  that  they  did 
not  meet  the  farmer’s  demands  when 
the  Jelke  and  Mey  factories  did.  Con¬ 
sequently  these  two  factories  received  all 
the  milk  and  Bordens  could  not  get 
enough  milk  to  run  on.  av.  s.  w.
