SHORT GARDEN NOTES. 
Starting Prizetaker Onions. 
I wish to grow some Prizetaker or Giant 
Rocca onions, but have no greenhouse to 
start them in. Would I gain anything by 
starting the seed in a cold frame the middle 
of March or first of April, transplanting to 
open ground when large enough? H. H. G. 
Saginaw, Mich. 
Yes—we followed this plan for some 
years, and got good onion plants. It is 
not necessary to have a greenhouse. Use a 
little manure at the bottom of the cold 
frame. \Ye sow the seed about four inches 
apart in drills and clip off the tops when 
they grow too fast. 
Aphides on Snowball. 
Can aphides be kept off Viburnum Opulus 
without standing over it all Summer with 
spray pump in hand? Are all the Viburnums 
so troubled ? e. b. h. 
Massachusetts. 
It is seldom a difficult matter to keep 
aphids off Viburnum Opulus. One must 
repeatedly spray the under side of the 
foliage with whale-oil soap solution, four 
ounces to the gallon of water, or strong 
tobacco water, to keep the snowball free 
from the pests. Asiatic Viburnums, especi¬ 
ally the one known as the Japanese snow¬ 
ball. V. tomentosum, is seldom troubled with 
these pests. 
Shell Lime for Cauliflower. 
Can you tell me what shell lime is and 
where it can be obtained: also price? I see 
it recommended for putting around cauli¬ 
flower plants. I expect to put out about 
10.000 plants next season ; put 5.000 last 
season and got nearly .$000 for them. Some 
of them were fully 12 inches across, a. h. 
Kirksville, N. Y. 
Shell lime is obtained by burning oyster 
or clam shells—the same as stone lime 
comes from burning limestone. Not much 
shell lime is made now, and the burned 
stone lime (air slaked I is good to put 
around cabbage or cauliflower plants. It 
helps to prevent club-foot and maggots. 
Salt for Chickweed. 
My strawberry patch is badly infested 
with chickweed. Would a good application 
of salt kill the same and not injure the 
strawberry plants? c. m. b. 
Pittsburg, Pa. 
We think salt, sulphate of iron and simi¬ 
lar sprays will injure the strawberry about 
as much as they do the chickweed. We have 
found no remedy for this pest except clean 
culture and that is an endless job. 
Wheat for Chicken Feed. 
What variety of Spring wheat could I 
plant on a medium loam which is now in sod 
with good results? I want the wheat for 
chicken feed, as the price of grain is so 
high, and if I can get even 25 bushels per 
acre, it will pay me to grow it. Rye does 
not seem to be a suitable chicken feed when 
fed in considerable quantities, although that 
is grown a great deal around here. 
West Hartford, Conn. s. n. d. 
We doubt if Spring wheat will prove sat¬ 
isfactory in Connecticut. We would rather 
grow beardless barley for chicken feed as a 
Spring grain. 
Winter and Spring Wheat. 
What is the difference between Winter 
and Spring wheat? Is Spring wheat a hard 
or soft wheat? Is there a difference in the 
flour of such proportions that a baker can 
detect it? j. o. s. 
Most Spring wheats are undoubtedly 
classed as hard, and yield flours having 
relatively higher percentages of gluten than 
Winter wheats. Spring wheats are merely 
modified varieties of the ordinary wheat 
grown in Northern latitudes, where the 
Winters are too severe for Fall sowing, and 
where the great amount of sunlight due to 
the long days of the growing season has a 
tendency to increase the storage of gluten, 
Winter wheats planted in Spring in the 
extreme North take on the characters of 
Spring wheat, and after a few generations 
cannot be detected from them. When 
brought south again and sown in the Fall 
the grain reverts in a few generations to its 
former starchy condition. 
Weed Killers. 
What can I put on a tennis court to kill 
grass and weeds? I have a tennis court 
that costs me a lot of labor to pick the 
grass out. What can I use on it? 
F. p, B. 
Wawarsing, N. Y. 
One of the most successful weed killers 
appears to be hot brine made up of one 
pound of salt to one gallon of water. This 
may be sprinkled over the soil of your 
tennis court during dry weather, repeating 
the application as often as may be neces¬ 
sary to kill out the grass and weeds. A far 
more successful solution is made by mixing 
one pound of powdered white arsenic in 
three gallons of cold water, bring to a boil 
and stir well, then add seven gallons of 
cold water, two pounds cracked carbonate 
of soda and boil again, stirring well until 
all the arsenic is dissolved. This is more 
lasting in its effect than the salt, but is 
quite poisonous, and care should be taken 
that fowls or animals should not have 
access to it. 
A Granite Gardener. —Granite paving 
cutters are not supposed to be interested in 
farm papers, but I take half a dozen. As 
we work but eight hours on granite it gives 
me lots of time to dig in my garden. I raise 
all kinds of fruits and vegetables, enough 
for a family of nine with some to sell. I 
can raise anything that will grow in this 
part of the country but strawberries. I have 
been monkeying with them for the last 15 
years, and haven’t raised a decent crop 
yet. I expect to keep at it for the next 15. 
I’ll grow em or bust. ei.mer berdeen. 
Connecticut. 
Good Tool for Potato Farm. —The best 
tool I have on the farm is a 12-foot riding 
weeder. I usually have from 20 to 30 acres 
of potatoes out. As soon as the potatoes 
are planted the weeder is started, and we 
go over them every five or six days until 
they are about a foot high ; 30 acres a day 
can be weeded without the driver becoming 
tired, as there is a good seat on which to 
ride. By going over the field often with 
this implement the weeds can l»e kept under 
perfect control. I would not for a moment 
consider the idea of doing without such a 
tool. There is also a seeder attachment for 
this weeder, and I have used it for sowing 
clover seed, sowing in the Spring on wheat 
field. It can also be used as a harrow.

Bigger Crops 
Less Work 
Guaranteed when the genuine original Clark’s “Cutaway” Farm Tools are 
used. These tools run lighter and do better work than any other farm 
machine, either harrow or plow, and when properly used will positively pro¬ 
duce 25 per cent to 50 per cent more crops. 
CLARKS 
CUTAWAY 
TOOLS 
The “Cutaway” Tools are used and endorsed by 
prominent and successful farmers, orcliardists, plant¬ 
ers, gardeners and vineyardists throughout this country. 
Also in several foreign countries. Why? Because they 
positively reduce the work in the held and increase 
the crops. 
When you buy a genuine original “Cutaway” you 
buy a tool that you would not sell for many times its cost 
if you could not get another. 
We make 75 sizes and styles,including special orchard 
harrows, corn and cotton harrows, traction engine har¬ 
rows and road harrows; in fact, harrows for every crop. 
Don’t be deceived by infringements or poor imitations. There’s only one 
original “Cutaway,” and it’s Clark’s. Don’t forget that. Insist upon having 
the original. 
CLARK’S “CUTAWAY” 
Grading or Smoothing and Leveling Harrow 
With this tool every field can be 
made as smooth as a floor and the soil 
pulverized fine enough for a flower bed 
—makes a most perfect onion bed. Will 
smooth an acre as true as a mill pond 
in twenty minutes. 
This harrow is also a great road 
maker. One man, with team, can make 
a perfect trotting track of any road. It 
is adjustable with a lever, by which the 
entire action is controlled by the driver, 
and he can remove at will all the earth 
possible for the team to haul, taking it 
from hills or uneven places and putting 
it into hollows to level up the field.

Harrow 
Drawn by Two 
Medium Horsea 
Mr. L. H. BAILEY, Professor of Aerieultnre, Cornell, S. Y„ writes: “The Double Action Cutaway Harrow 
has been satisfactory. 1 use it almost continuously on our hard clay land with good results." 
Clark’s Original “Cutaway” Harrow is really a wonderful tool. By taking out the tip 
pole it is immediately converted into a first-class tongueless disc harrow. This harrow runs 
steady and true and in line of draft having a quadruple beariug on the ground and the pole 
does not thrash between the horses. The jointed pole takes all weight from the horses' 
necks and keeps them away from the discs. The soil is stirred twice in one trip, thus saving 
half the time and work and doing better work. Will cut 28 to 30 acres or double cut 15 acres 
in a day. The ground is left perfectly true and level. All discs are made of cutlery steel 
fashioned in our own shops and arc the only genuine original “Cutaway” discs. Don’t be 
deceived by infringements. , , _ . _ . . .
