Planting Potatoes Early.

In some parts Of New England
there has been a radical change in
the time Of planting potatoes.
Twenty years ago II was thought
best to leave the potatoes for the
very latest planting, usually when
the season was far advanced. Now,
early potatoes are planted almost rs
soon as the ground can be c0miOrta.
bly, worked IN the spring, and when
the latest varieties must he in the
ground much progress is made la
planting corn. This change was a
move in the right direction. Early
potatoes, in order 10 command II
good price in market, must be ripe
early. 1t il said that some crops
will ripcn as early in the season, il
the seed is planted very late, when
the soil is dry and warm, as they
will il planted u fortnight earlier.
But 1t takes SO long Tor potatoes to
get above ground and fairly started,
that they must be planted early or
ripened late. In order to obtain
seed OF noted variety, l planted u
q few specimens very early-in
June, | think. The ground and
weather were both very warm, and
thought my potatoes would be up
IN Il week. But they were not fairly
above ground in eighteen days. l
do not think they got ripe, for al
though called II good kind, those
which ! raised were of Il very inf1ri-
or quality. 1t is well known that
the quality ofpOtatoes depends very
much on their degree of ripeness.
Unless fairly ripe the best variety
ever cultivated, will not be good.
This fact alone should induce grow
ers to plant early. The potato bug,
in sections where he operates, is not
SO destructive to early as to late pO-
tatoes, and it frequently happens
that the rot passes by the early va
rieties and almost ruins the later
ones. Another benefit of early
planting is having the crop ready to
dig before the heavy fall rains, in
comfortable weather. Potatoes, if
stored and dug before the ground is
soaked with cold rains, are brighter
and cleaner, and frequently sell
higher in market. 1t requires no
more work to plant them in good
season than to wait until hoeing
time before it is done. If the seed
is in the ground in good season, the
crop will be ready for hoeing the
second time before haying time. AS
soon as the danger from frost is
over, potatoes which are desired for
an early market should be planted.
Afterward the late varieties, wheth.
er for market or home use, may
safely be put in the ground.-Mve

A SHEEP STORY.-A few weeks
since Il statement went the rounds
of the press that the hay seed
which was scattered in the wool of
some sheep belonging to Richard
Batchelder of Salisbury, N. H.,
while feeding them in the winter,
had sprouted on turning them out
in the spring, and the sheep were
bearing about with them crop of
grass two inches in length. This
story probably reaches the poetical
editor of the New York Mail on one
of our late hot days, and this is the
way he tells it. This version :"
should be read aloud. " This is
the most interesting story that we
have ever seen, concerning some
New Hampshire sheep who are
wearing of the green. II was related
by a person OH whose honor we re-
ly, lie never hacked cherry trees,
and-shoulden't tell a lie. Robert
Batchelder, this was the shepard's
name, and he pastured twenty eight
sheep Oh Salisbury plain. But when
the leaves had fallen, >and Noyem,
Der winds were chill, why out on
the open world they couldn't get
their fill. So Bobby kindly put
them in a well protected shed, with
hay enough to feed them in the
NOV up over head. And the seed
is siited, down it went, lodged in
their wool, and there it did remain,
till the April moon was full. And
then out went the mutton, all in the
rain. you know, and in less than
twenty-one days the seed began to
grow and it grew-ed like the bean
in fairy song, and now the grass
upon their backs is more'p two in
ches long. And it is expected
that later in the year, red, fragrant
clover blossoms will appear. The
moral Of this sheep tale is clear to
every eye, that by judicious manage
ment, if person cared to try, he
might, with little trouble, and with
aid of rainy weather, have his lambs
and green peas growing up to.

rhe Age goes from bad to worse in slanaering
the farmers Of Waldo. Republican Journal.
Really how long since the journal has be-
gun to take an interest i'll the affairs of the
farmers of Waldo? How much real sympathy
has the editor with them as a class ANYWAY?
How much interest has his paper shown in the
cheese factory or any other of the farming en-
terprises of the county? How many extended
notices has it published of the tongs of farm
ers clubs, or addresses delivered, or how many
communications OF farmers have appeared in
its columns: lis readers can possibly recollect,
but we know Of scarcely any. What is its
great >olicitude now, except to create a prell-
dice by misreprtsenting this paper: Prog.
Age.
AS the Age says, our readers can pos
sibly recollect'-and we leave it to them.
That isn't the only subject on which the
Age knows scarcely anything But we
can easily say what the Journal hasn't
done. 1t hasn't classed the products OF
aWaldo cheese factories as of interior quail
ties 1t hasn't accused the farmers of
cheating by using skim milk. 1t hasn't
called them .lackasses when they remOn
strated against such treatment The issue
is not between the Age and ourself, but
between that paper and the Waldo farm
ers. About all that we have said has been
in defence Of cur farmer correspondents
against the personal abuse of the Age.
The reputation OF the Journal will take
care of itself All we ask is fair chance
with every other press, and are willing to
concede the same to all, the cheese press
included
