BUSINESS BITS. 
Everybody likes strawberries and more 
families would have a nice bed of them if 
they only knew how easily they are grown. 
Any ground that will grow corn or pota¬ 
toes will do. Write Henry A. Dreer, 
Philadelphia, Pa., about potted plants. 
The white form of the moccasin flower 
or lady-slipper orchid, Cypripedium spec- 
tabile, is as beautiful as it is rare, and 
makes a splendid companion with the 
purple flowered type. Harlan P. Kelsey, 
Tremont Building, Boston, Mass., has 
worked up a fine stock of this most de¬ 
sirable hardy plant, and offers them for 
Pall shipment. 
Farmers Interested in making good 
roads, and in giving comfort to workmen 
and teams, should note the valuable im¬ 
provement in the metal wheels manufac¬ 
tured by the Havana Metal Wheel Co., 
Havana, Ill. It is a patented grooved tire 
for metal wheels, and they make the 
wheels to fit any sized skein. This groove 
protects the ends of the spokes from wear 
and guards against ever wearing out. 
They make also a complete farm truck 
wagon, besides 10 styles of other truck 
wagons. It will pay our readers to write 
them for circulars of their full line, in¬ 
cluding feed grinders, shoveling-boards, 
steel wheelbarrows, etc. 
Alfalfa on Muck.—As an experiment 
this Spring five acres of muck were seeded 
to Alfalfa. For a long time it seemed a 
question as to whether it was a success 
or a failure, as it rained and repeated so 
often that the soil was afloat most of the 
time, but as soon as the weather began to 
warm up and the sun did a few days’ 
work the Alfalfa began to “look up,’’ so 
to speak, and we soon harvested eight 
tons of good feed. I am somewhat skep¬ 
tical as to the wintering of the roots, but 
am of the opinion, and decidedly so, that 
it will more than pay for a Spring crop 
each season, and let it winterkill if it 
wishes. Time will tell. w. e. imes. 
Michigan. 
Notes on the Season. 
I’icked our sweet corn July 25. First 
string beans July 2—a little young, but as 
we had planted freely and expected a long 
yield we wished to begin early. A dry 
spell following, the rest (several varieties), 
became leathery in a day or two; as cherry 
picking and haying were upon us we 
could not stop to lug water. First peas 
July 2. All the rest, mostly wrinkled va¬ 
rieties, too hard in a few days. Beets 
ready for bunching, July 20. No locally- 
grown early potatoes to be had July 25; 
promise of average crop. Bugs gone and 
no blight. Late potatoes looking wen. 
Our soil is clay and packs quickly, and is 
not early. New potatoes, southern grown, 
are being reshipped daily from this point 
to surrounding villages, and prices have 
advanced greatly. One year, by propaga¬ 
tion under glass from top cuttings, we 
succeeded in getting some ripe tomatoes 
June 25. This year we grew the plants in 
pots till they were in blossom, and planted 
in rich hills without breaking sods, but 
it now looks as though we would not get 
a ripe tomato before the middle of August. 
Our Dahlia garden, owing to the moist 
Spring, began to bloom about July 4, but 
needs moisture now properly to develop 
the flowers. We had good hay weather, 
and the barns are full of tine hay. 
Columbia Co., N. Y. j. y. p. 
I TELL you the meadows about here this 
year all looked as though we had followed 
Mr. Clark’s methods of grass culture. In 
all my experience as a farmer I think 1 
never cut such big grass, and so few 
weeds mixed in it. It makes a fellow have 
a sort of a comfortable feeling when he 
thinks about feeding his stock next Win¬ 
ter and Spring. a. r. p. 
Ohio. 
Lice on Apple Trees. —I see you recom¬ 
mend spraying for lice on apple trees; I 
tried that without much effect, as the 
curled leaf protected so many of them. 1 
told rny trouble to C. B. Wood (the vener¬ 
able and successful fruit grower of Rap¬ 
pahannock County), lie told me to try 
dipping the affected twigs in a bucket 
partly filled with tobacco water. I did so, 
and found it very satisfactory indeed. 
Barboursville, Va. a. r. l. 
A Farmer’s Picnic. —The joint picnic of 
the Niagara and Orleans Farmers’ Clubs 
at Wilson, N. Y., on July 27 was a great 
success. From early in the morning the 
roads were black with carriages, and the 
trains brought hundreds of people from 
distant points. It is impossible to make 
a fair estimate of the size of such a 
crowd, scattered as it was over a large 
field, but there seemed to be at least 12,000 
persons present. They were all Interested 
in farming in one way or another, and 
seldom can one find such a clean-looking, 
prosperous, happy and keen body of peo¬ 
ple. 'rhere were thousands of lunch 
baskets to be emptied, baseball and other 
sports for those who enjoy them, and 
speaking for those who prefer that form 
of entertainment. Speeches were made by 
H. W. Collingwood and Prof. Mills, of the 
Guelph (Ontario) Agricultural College, 
'riie picnic was a great success in every 
way. The farmers of western New York 
are alive. They know how to get together 
for business. They do not stay apart and 
grumble about their wrongs, but they get 
together and learn from one ano'her what 
is wrong. Farmers seem to be generally 
cheerful this year, though the apple crop 
is short, while wheat is nearly a failure. 
Corn is backward. It was quite surprising 
to a Jerseyman with a farm as wet as a 
sponge from the constant rains to find 
such a dry country, where crops were 
dying from thirst.
