Of Inte: W. R. GR c What to Do Now in Garden and Orchard Don',t neglect the fall tomato crop. Keep the plants tied to stakes and pruned. Rlooted branches will make excellent plants. Set them deep. They will ripen fruit in four to six weeks. Do not overlook the importance of fertilizer for the late summer, fall and winter garden. Make a top dress ing of nitrate of soda for growing crops and cultivate it well into the soil. Before tomatoes begin to rot at the blossom end, mulch with stable ma nure, straw, leaves, or similar ma terial, after thorough cultivation. A top dressing of nitrate of soda ap plied to beets, turnips, cabbage, car rots, and other vegetables that should be coming on from August plantings will often double the size of these and similar crops in a week or two and shorten the time of the edible matur ity, make them alrger and better. Dust cabbage, collards, and other crops that have been attacked with cabbage worms or other chewing in sects. Use calcium arsenate. For the harlequim or other sucking insects, spray with nicotine sulphate or kern sene emulsion. Set lettuce plants intended for heads not nearer than eigh inches in the row. Thin beets and turnips to not less than six inches. Thin parsnips and carrots to three inches in the drill. The fall crop of Irish potatoes must be kept clean of weeds and an earth mulch made after each rain if a good crop is expected. It is not too late to plant turnip,,; sow Milan for fall and Yellow Ab-er deen, Purple Top Globe, and Cowhorn for winter use. Parsley may yet be planted. It will come in for early spring use. Do not overlook spinach, the best of the salad crops.

Prepare the richest piece of land available for onion seed to be sowed from September 20 to October 20. These will make the best onions that can be grown in the South..Sets put out now will furnish green onions from November on. Onions should be fer tilized very heavily. At the rate of a ton and a half to the acre is not too heavy. Celery plants that are not set in ner manent places should go out at once. Rich land, heavy fertilization, and fre quent cultivation are all necessary for this crop. As with other leaf crops, Nitrate of soda may be liberally used on celery. Try some Chinese cabbage for wint er use. Order sweet pea and pansy seed and bulbs now. The time for planting them is near at hand. Make cuttings of geranium, coleus, verbena, etc., nor.' for winter bloom and foliage. They, will make strong plants for an early start next spring Grapes and roses grow easily from cuttings and new plants of desirable varieties may very easily be secured in this way. Cuttings should be made after the first freeze. Get a cover crop started in th or chard as soon as possible. Use the cover crop that does best on yoir farm preferably a legume such as crimson clover or vetch. Keep the strawberries cultivated and select now the ground for a new planting. I find it a good plan to plant each year a third of my home patch and after the crop is gathered 7n the spring to plow up a third. This keeps up an annual supply of this delicious and first fruit that conies in the spring. The Ozark is one of the best early varieties. Chesapeake is probably the best variet yfor mid season and later. The Progressive Farmer. Poultry Houses Clemson Colelge, S. C., Sept. 26. The fal lis coming-the young pullets are maturing rapidly and some are begimning to lay; what attention have the poultry men paid to houses for this years' stock? Proper housing is perhaps one of the most important phases of poultry management. A young pullet or hen likes comfortable quarters and if we do not furnish such conditions, we cannot expect to obtain results. Birds will respond to proper environments. Isn't egg production influenced large ly by environmental factors? What are some of the environmental fac tors ? Feeding, housing, rearing, sanitation, and others. To get the maximum egg produc tion, we must not only feed and prac tice sanitation: but must have proper housing facilities. A pullet or hen that is subject to a number of changes will not be in condition to lay and we can regulate these changes edic ur depositors with ing accounts, we have this new system of nown as the Protectu ws an added improved bat the numerous used byraising checks, tem enables you to rour check at amount 'like a money order), insuring the amount c from being raised : getlost, or fall into ?OTECTU System i s considein openinga ccu yalmeans come his additional improved at we are giving .free to tomers. PRACTICAL FOR POCKBS AND PAY ROLL U783 F MANNING P1 )l''l'T, President. ishInier. armfers n Agent B by living the birds comfortable quar ters. Important Prnciples Here is a number of important principles in poultry house construc tion that al poultrymen should bear in mind. They are: 1 Economy; 2 con venience; 3 sunlight; 4 freedom from moisture; 5 abundance of ventilation; 6 plenty of room; 7 protection from excessive heat and cold; 8 proof against rats and mice; 9 sanitation. Economy-The poultry house should be built as plain as possible. It is not absolutely necessary to purchase all new material, but all lumber used should be sound and free from cracks. Convenience-In planning the poul try hopse, considerable thought should be given to labor-saving devices, such as large self-feeding hoppers for dry mash, drinking vessels which are easily cleaned and filled, nests easily accessible, all interior construction as simple as posible o a to facilitate cleaning. Sunlight-Sunlight hould pene trate every part of the house as much of the day as possible. It is a perfect germ destroyer purifying the parts of the house where it shines. Freedom of Moisture-The house house should be free of moisture. Dampness in the poultry house is the cause of many of our diseases. Ventilation.-The house should be thoroughly ventilated, but should be free of drafts. An abundance of oxy gen is essential if the birds are to carry on their body functions. A pro perly ventilated house means healthy birds and less labor in keeping the house clean. Plenty of Room to Exercise.-It is essential to furnish exercises for the birds in order to keep them in a healthy condition. Four to five square feet of floor space should be allowed for each bird. The best way to induce the birds to exercise is to feed the grain mixture in deep litter on the floor. Protection From Excessive Heat or Cold.- -The house should protect the birds from cold, but should not keep them too hot. During the hot sum mer months arrangements should be made to keep the house as cool as pos sible. Rats and Mice.-The house should be so constructed as to be both rat proof and mouse-proof. Sanitation.-The interior construc tion of the house should be as plain as possible. No cracks or crevices for bacteria, lice and mites should be present. All interior fixtures should be removable so as to facilitate. thorough cleaning and disinfecting. We are recommending, at this time the use of a shed roof house and the three sizes nre as follows: 1 Smr: unit poultry house. 6' x 8' (12 to 15 birds.) 2 Farm unit laying house. 14' x 16' (50 birds.) 3 Colony laying house. 20' x 20' which will accomodate 100 birds. This is a unit house and for each additional 100 birds build another unit. Proper housing is one of the me thods of making a success with poul try. Does your poultry house meet the requirements as described above? If not, change now and be prepared for the fall and winter. N. R. Mehrhof, Poultry Hlusbandman. The Home Orchard October is the month for worming your peach trees. This should not be neglected, as the borer is one of the greatest enemies of the peach tree. I see many trees that have been either killed or so badly weakened by the ravages of the borers as to be useless. We had as well face the facts and combat this pest or stop putting out the trees. Where the trees have been moundedl, the hiounds should be pulled down, and' one should then he able to get at the borer with a knifo or wire. Findl the burrow and follow it until the borer is (discovered. The netv method of treating with Paradichlorbenzene which forms a gas that kills the insect gives promise of simplifyin gthe control of the borer very greatly. This treatment can not be used on very young trees, and probably should not be attempted at all as yet by inexperienced men. There is (danger of killing the trees if it is CYPRESS ~ SASH DOORS BLINDS MOULDINGS MILL WORK *Wish "el have taken Cardul for run down, worn-out dondition, nervousness and sleeplessness, and I was weak, too," says Mrs. Silvie Estes, of Jennings, Oka.* "Catdlu'id 116fi ust lots of good-'so iuch tbatI gv, It to my daughter.

I expect to have some demonstrations in the use of this during the fall: The pruning and the dormant spray may well be left until November, or until the trees are well hardened up or thoroughly dormant. Now is the time to be making plans for that new orchard which you are going to put out this fall. Your or ders for trees should be placed in October if possible. Order them ship ped out around the rst of Decemberfi. Trees put out in December will gen erally (1o better than those put out later. I wish to advise the people against purchasing all kinds of new or un tried varieties. There are certain varieties which have been tried and found adapted to our soil and clima tic conditions. Let us continue plant ing these until the other fellow has tried out the new ones. I will in a few days begin ordering trees for far mers of the county, and will be glad to have any one interested in the pur chasing of nursery stock get in touch with me. I will be able to purchase the trees for you at rock bottom prices direct from good reliable nursgrymen. I hear of farmers paying frotn fifty cents to one dollar for peach trees we can purchase these for less than half that price. Some of the good standard varieties for this section are the Mayflower, Greensboro, Belle of Georgia, Car man, Elberta, Heath Cling, Red Bird Cling, Hiley and J. H. Hale. There are others that might be mentioned. I wish to call your'attention to the following warning published by Prof. A. F. Conradi, State Entomologist, of Clemson College: The Fruit Tree Liar Prof. A. F. Conradi, Entomologist for the South Carolina State Crop Pest Commission, charged with the enforcement of regulations regarding nursery stock, is out gunning for the unscrupulous fruit-tree agent and is appealhng to the buying public for aid in suppressing this dangerous nuisance. Below is Prof. Conradi's warning appeal.'. "Remenmoer that it is unlawful for a i'ult. treeq agent to operate in this stt wf'itott an' agent's license. *To obtain this license *does not reqiuire cash, but it (lees require the agent to furnish satisfactory evidence to the South Carolina State Crop Pest Com mission, Clemson College, S.

"Remember that some of -these agents have wonderful stories to tell about their stock. Arc you gullible enough. to believe thenm? We are trailing some of them now and we will prosecute without hesitation. We will co..operate with every honest tree agent who sells what he represents and will help him in every way pos sible; but let us all band together and show the uInserupulous tree lirr that South Carolina has no use -for him. He has clone enough dnbynage. The Legislature has madeO laws with teeth in .them to get such cheats and, wve asls the co-operation of every one in tracking these fellows -to their liars."
