a correspondent of the New Eng

am rather inclined to believe that
the advocates for large potatoes for
seed are apt to try small culture as well
as small potatoes, when they make ex-
perfnents that way. Permit me to
give my experience IN relation to small
potatoes as seed potatoes.
am a mechanic, and cultivate only
a small garden; it is, therefore, for my
interest to produce as much as lean on
a small space. My garden consisted
of ten square rods in 1853-54, and
this year there we're two rods more
added. Of this I planted some two
thirds to potatoes. In 1858 planted
with amixture of large and small pota-
toes, and in October dug nearly sly
bushels, large and small, besides what
my family used through the summer
From these I tool all the small ones
fer the next years seed; there WaS

and many were smaller.
In 1854 I planted these potatoes
and dug in the fall eight bushels o
good-sized potatoes, besides the small

the small Of last years raising, and
having finished digging, / find, beside
what were used before digging, that

and fifty bushels per acre. 1 think
considering the effects of the droutl

in favorof small potatoes. The manur,

HOW no FxPEL RATS.

The lastnumber of the Farm Journal,
Philadelphia, gives a scientific recipe
for clearing a house of rats. The plan
is chemical one, and the editor des-
cribes it as having been put in force
by a chemical friend of his III Boston,
to expelan army of rats, after all other
means had failed. The following is the
Farm Journals account of the affair
Raising a small board in the garrett
floor, our friend opened a communica-
ton between the floor and the ceiling
beneath, which interior communicated
with the spaces between the side walls
and the laths and plaster over the
whole house. Into this opening he
he placed a dish containing 6nelY-pul-
verified black oxyd of manganese, and
poured over it a suitable quantity OF
strong
The floor board was then replaced.
The effect of the chemical mixture OF
black oxyd of manganese and hydro
chloric acid is to disengage in the cold
that most powerful, deodorizing, fumi-
eating gas, chlorine. In common with
all gases, it gradually diffuses itself
through the air, but having a greater
weight than atmospheric air, it accumu-
lates at helowestleYels The tenden-
cy of the gas liberated, therefore, was
topenetrate veryvacantspacebet
the walls and ceiling, and at last found
exit in the celler.
Itmay be here stated that the guam
tity of gas so liberated can exert nc
injurious. effect upon the house or its
inmates; indeed the result is rather
beneficial than otherwise upon The
general health.
THE chemical arrangement described
had not been long in operation, whe1
when it became evident that something
was occurring in ratdom. "AIl nigh
long, it wouldseem," says the narrator
Has if Bedlam had broken loose betwel
the partitions of my house." Toward
morning all had become quiet-th,
rats had vamosed, big and little, an,

one was heard or seen on the premises

DEEP

We have abundant evidence, from
various sources, of the superior benefits
obtained byploWing eight or ten inches
deep, instead of FIVE or six, as was
once the almost universal custom. Yet
many still continue the ] dpractice, as
serting that they have tried the other
and found it injurious, the crops in
variably depreeiating on land thus
treated. WHAT'S the cause of this dis
crepancy in the results? We assert
that in every case where the subsoil is
of equal or superior fertility to the
surface, and has been subject 60 the
a~meliorating influence of the atlnos-
phere for a short time, that deep plow-
ing increases the. crop. But, %unfortu-

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN ADVERTISING
In the Office of the London Times
there is a sort of map which gives a
graphic representation of the fuctua-
tons in the circulation of that journal.
1t is like the sectional profles of our
railroads and canals-an increased cir
culation being indicated by rise in
the surface line, while a falling off in
the circulation is represented by a de-
preston. During the year 1916 the
circulation of the Times averaged only
$4,000, and it began the year 1913
with an edition of no more than 10000.

to $4,000. 1t fell, however, with the
fall of liberty, and averaged but $4,000

ceeding the present wal gradually
