Keeping of Winter Squashes.
The squashes ought: to be thoroughly
ripened before taken from the vines and
gathered before they are nipped "by frost.
Handle carefully. If intended for "winter nse, they must not be brnised or the
stem hroken, as the slightest injury "will
increase the liability to decay. Discard
all the soft shelled or Tinripe ones. Much
depends on keeping them from-moisture.
Dampness and an -uneven temperature
are fatal to good keeping. If kept in a
-warm, damp cellar, they "will soon rot.
The best plan is to place them on a shelf
or on the floor in a frostproof garret.
If stored in heaps, the under ones will
send out the moisture and canse the
•whole lot to rotinashort time.—American Agriculturist.
Renovating a Prairie Pasture.
On a failing prairie pasture, reported
upon from the Kansas station, the seeds
of several tame grasses were sown after
cultivating the surface with a disk harrow. The tame grasses were crowded ont
by the prairie grass, and it was concluded that the proper way to renovate
native pastures is to take off the "stock,
harrow the surface early in the spring
and leave the-pasture to itself.
METHODS OF IRRIGATION.
Five Plans «ae Distributing Water Tested
at tbe Utah Station.
In Utah there are two common sys-
tems.in vogue. One is the system of covering the ground with water, or simply
flooding it, and the other is irrigation
by furrows. Everything that can he
planted in rows is so planted and furrows plowed between the rows. With
the small grains an instrument or machine is run through the field just after
planting, leaving the ground in small
furrows about a foot apart. "When this
machine is crudely made, it is called a
"go devil," and the practice is called
"go deviling." With corn, potatoes,
beets, etc., the furrow system of irrigation is practiced. At the Utah station,
along with other methods, was tested
the merits of these two systems by direct comparison of the yields by the two
methods with both wheat and corn. The
common flooding system gave an increased yield of more than 23 per cent
over that irrigated by the furrow or "go
devil" system. The yield of straw was
also increased by flooding. This being
the work of but one season it may be
well to take the results with some caution.
In the corn tests, which covered four
years, the furrow irrigation was that
commonly in use. The corn was planted
in hills and furrows run through one
way and the water allowed to run
through these furrows between the rows.
In flooding the corn was irrigated as is
a level field of wheat by simply covering the entire surface with water. Results show, that for every year except
1891 there was an increase of yield in
corn amounting in 1894 to more than
63 per cent by the method of flooding
over the furrow irrigation. The averages for the four years show an increase
of more than 15 per cent by flooding.
The yield of stover was the same for the
first two years by both systems, while
for the last two years there was an increase by flooding, making for the average of the four years an increase of nearly 10 percent in the stover for the flooding over the furrow irrigation. Following is a summary of the tests made:
Of five different methods of distributing water on grass land distributing by
a network of small ditches gave the
best results. The methods which distributed the water most evenly over the
ground gave the highest yields.
There was an increase in yield of
wheat of more than 23 per cent by the
common flooding system, over the furrow
or "go devil" system. Result of duplicate plats ior but one year.      .
\fath corn there was an increase of
more than 15 per cent by flooding over
the furrow system. The corn stover in*
creased nearly ten per cent by the flopd-
ing system over the furrow system.
Professor Richman at this station
found that "irrigating potatoes by flooding gave better results than irrigating
between the rows."
As tho hilling method of cultivation
is found to decrease the yield as compared with level cultivation, it is
thought probable that this had as much
to do with the results as did the different methods of irrigation.
By flooding fields of corn the same as
wheat and cultivating tlje ground as
soon as dry enough we have reached a
yield of more than 90 bushels per acre
of White Flint corn, the average for five
years being 46.72 bushels per acre.
When the flooding system is practiced,
it is thought that cultivation at just the
proper time is very important.
Sweet Cider.
Numbered with popular methods for
keeping cider sweet is one explained by
Farm, Field and Fireside: Add to the
cider after it has begun to ferment as
much white sugar as will equal one-
fourth to three-fourths pound to each
gallon of cider, according to the acidity
of the apples. Then let fermentation
proceed until it has the taste to suit,
then add one-f onrth ounce sulphite—not
sulphate—cf lime to each gallon of cider. The sulphite shonld first be dissolved in a quart of cider before putting
it into the barrel. Agitate briskly, then
let the cider settle, and the fermentation
will cease at once. Let it stand three
days to become clear, then draw off and
bottle carefully, or remove the sediment
and return to the clean cask.
It is also told that cider may be preserved absolutely sweet by putting it up
in airtight cans after the manner of
preserving fruit. The cider should be
first settled and racked or drawn off
from the dregs, and fermentation should
not be allowed to commence before canning.
