packed by using a roller or a heavy drag. 
This crushes the rye down into a solid 
mass, so that the air cannot work through 
it as would bo the case if it were left 
open and loose. This permits too rapid 
fermentation, and the mess of rye will 
hold moisture instead of giving it up 
rapidly. We like to use lime whenever a 
heavy crop of rye is turned under. Such 
liming and thorough packing will tit the 
land well for the buckwheat, and that 
can, if desired, be plowed under in the 
Fall and the land reseeded. In this way 
you ran fill the soil with organic matter, 
and greatly improve it, but the packing 
of the soil after plowing is essential, and 
the lime will help. When rye gets quite 
hard before plowing, it does not decay 
readily in the soil. In that case the plan 
of seeding rye and buckwheat together 
would answer. 
The Clintondale Co-operative Association 
The annual meeting of the Clintondale 
Fruit Growers’ Co-operative Association 
was held in the office of the association 
at Clintondale, l ister County, N. Y., on 
May 10. at which time three directors 
were elected for the next three years. 
The board of directors met May 16 and 
elected officers for the ensuing yei’% as 
follows: M. G. llurd, president ;• W. E. 
Harcourt, vice-president; W. J. Margrrf, 
treasurer; D. J. Minard, secretary. The 
other members of the board are Joseph 
I)eyo, F. II. Terhune, W. G. Minard. 
Seymour Terwillijcr, A. J. Schaefer and 
J. B. Minard. Since organizing two years 
ago they have erected the finest, although 
not the largest, cold-storage plant in the 
State, at a cost of $150,000. During the 
past year they handled approximately 
30,000 barrels of apples, in addition to 
large quantities of the smaller fruits. 
Storage on fruit, a small selling commis¬ 
sion charged to the grower, and the pur¬ 
chase and sale of packages, fertilizers, 
spray materials, etc., netted the associa¬ 
tion the past year about $16,000. 
As attested by some of the largest buy¬ 
ers in the market of the City of New 
York, the very best grades of fruit are 
grown in Clintondale section, and it only 
remains to standardize on a package in 
order to obtain the highest prices in the 
country. During the slack season the 
organization of plant employees is kept 
busy at manufacturing crates, special ma¬ 
chinery being installed for that purpose. 
The ice-making capacity will be utilized 
to advantage during the Summer months, 
a contract now being considered with a 
New York party for several cars of ice 
per week. 
Magistrate: “You say the prisoner 
struck you. Have you any witnesses to 
prove it?” Murphy (pointing to his dis¬ 
colored optic) : “I have an eye-witness 
here, yer Honor.”—Toronto Sun.

Fertilizers; they enr : ch the earth and

No Silo Too High for

Ensilage Cutter 
—says H. B. Collom, of Seven Mile, 
Ohio. His barn and silos are pictured 
above. “We used 75 feet of pipe,” 
says Mr. Collom, “and the corn went 
over the top like a shot. It is the 
easiest running cutter I have ever 
used or seen.”

Saves at least one 
man. No poking or pushing. 
Throw the whole bundles on the table 
and the self feed carries it direct to 
the knives for a fine, even cut. Bliz¬ 
zards are easy running—simple, safe, 
long lasting and economical of repair ex¬ 
pense. They will deliver more work per H. P.
