FARM DEMONSTRATION NOTES 'FARM MANAGEMENT * 2. The farmer as a Mechanic — Mechanical ability has always been desirable for a farmer, but in the last twenty years the great increase in the number of complicated machines has made this ability of much more importance than formerly. Grain and corn binders, manure spreaders, potato diggers, gasoline engines, and all the other new and expensive machines call for mechanical ability if they are to be used effeciently. There is something to farming besides taking a pleasure ride with a team of fine horses on one of these machines. A little carelessness or inexperience may cause a loss of more than a month 's wages. Occasionally a farmer can depend on ' hired men for this mechanical ability, but usually he must not only i be the mechanic, but must instruct I the men and guard against their i carelessness. There are still some > kinds of farming in which machin- ! ery is little used, but more and i more the farmer-mechanic with his I machine is replacing the hand la- 1 1 borer. j i 3. The Farmer as a Xaturalist — i

The fanner has always been a naturalist. He used to conspire with the moon and the almanac to coax nature to yield a bountiful harvest. But he always had many good ideas on plant and animal growth, ! gained from his intimate compan- i ionship with his crops and stock. The farmer must always be a naturalist. The great fund of knowledge that has been acquired by the | many generations of farmers isj now being organised on a scientific basis, and so' -e n «w knowledge is ' being added by investigation, so that we are coming to have a large body of knowledge about crop growth and animal feeding and breeding. The farmer is not now entirely dependent upon the experience of his community. He may learn from the experiences in other states and countries and from scientii investigation. If) the farmer is to compete with his neighbors, lie must study the science of plant and animal production. If he takes keen delight in < watching crops and animals thrive, i * it will add much to his pleasure, ' • and, if tempered with good judg- s ment, will go far toward bringing f success.

CLOSE IN JUNE In some schools garden work: ends in June or at the close of the I school year, and often ah exhibition of products is given to show 1 the concrete results of garden effort. In marked contrast to the enthusiasm manifested at such an exhibit is apt to be the appearance of the gardeu plot a few weeks later, unless special care is given it. One sometimes sees gardens which, in their overgrowth of weeds and decaying fruits, are anything but creditable to the school in charge, j even though there be^. the ready I excuse that there' is no one to work I the ground during the summer. I There is in reality no good reason ' why the garden plot should be an ey«*sor ■ curing the summer, and] aside from the effect upon children and upon the whole neighbor- 1 h<od of leaving the garden to its fr*a after June, there is a very distinct economic loss in the misuse of a whole summer season. Good HAVE YOU WEAK LUNGS? VDo cold* settle on your chest or in your i bronchial tubes ? Do coughs hang on, or ! are you subject to throat troubles? Such troubles should hare immediate treatment with the strengthening powers of Scott's Emulsion to guard against consumption which so easily follows. Scott's Emulsion contains pore cod liver oil which peculiarly strengthens the respiratory tract and improves the quality of i the blood; the glycerine in it soothes and . heals the tender membranes of iFytViynai Scott's is prescribed by the Best special, isto.

farmers and gardeners have no 3 idle land. When school gardeners fully realize the meaning of this fact they will have learned anoth- - er great lesson from' Mother Nal tare. e The best thing to do in these cir- - cu instances, says the New Jersey - Experiment ^Station, is to plow or r spade the ground after all crops i are off in June, and sow a summer - cover crop, which is by definition, - a crop intended to occupy the 3 ground and by its decay in the soil 3 prepare it for the next uscfnl crop, r Such crops almost always improve s the physical condition of the soil, j and they may, if they belong to i the great legume family, as do all - beans, peas and clovers, add considerably to the plant food supply. f Buckwheat for naturally— -f>oor ■ ground, cow peas on sandy land [ and in southerly localities, and soy . beans on almost any soil, are well adapted to this purpose. They can 1 ; obtained from seedsmen, and ' lie sown broadcast by hand ! and raked into the surface. PREVENTING ONION THRIPS j In many scctious of New Jersey ' the the onion thrip has frequently 1 cut short the yield of the onion , crop. The onion thrip is a yel- (

t-ilowish, slender insect, one twentyh j fifth of an inch long, so small as x j almost to escape notiee. It does t. j harm by sucking the juices from d j the leaves. Each little injured i, I spot thus caused turns white and i-jas the thrips increase these tiny :. I white spots will be so numerous r ' that the entire field will have a - 1 grayish, sickly appearance, e j This tiny insect is most injurs ious to the onion crop grown from 3 [ seed in New Jersey. Although i» 5 is not generally known, there are ) two distinct spray mixtures which ; are very effective against this in » sect. It is the intention of the I New Jersey Agricultural Expcri- 1 ' ment division to carry this know]- ■ edge to the farmers of the state i ! through the county farm demon- i I I st raters or through the extension ' ; specialist in market gardening at ' ' ) the Experiment Station. i Any farmer who anticipates t trouble with his onions is urged to ( write to his county demonstrator c or to the extension specialist in 1 market gardening at the Station. ( j stating that he desires to try the f as recommended. Any in- ■ formation or assistance desired F j will be given glqdly. SUMMER SPRAYS " FOR CHERRIES n D

j A recent bulletin from the New Jersey Experiment Station notes L|the following schedule for summer e j spraying of cherries. For brown rot, leaf spot, cureur j Iio and leaf chewers. spray immediately after the petals fall with s self-boiled lime sulphur to each 50 ^ gallons of which mixture has been ; added 3 pounds arsenate of lead paste. A second spraying for these troubles should be made with the same mixture when the fruit is j the size of a small pea. For leaf t spot a third spraying should be I made after the fruit is picked, with * self-boiled lime sulphur only. I If plant liee are troublesome. 3-4 pint of "Black Leaf 40." 3 pounds | j soap and 50 gallons water, well t j mixed, should be used as a spray j. before the leaves curl. The authorities at the New Jersey Stajtion call attention to the fact that ) s every insect must be hit to be de- i st roved.
