This article is designed to call the attention

In nothing connected with seeding do far
mers more disagree than in the way to plant
potatoes As the result of some scientific ex-
periments in Germany recently, it is said to
have been demonstrated that the eyes at
the top of the potato produce a much more
vigorous offspring than those in the lower
part; and hence that the tubers should be cut
horizontally, planting the upper half and
using the other as food for cattle But the
best plan of all, says the report, is to plant
the tuber whole, first cutting out the "eycs"
except those in the top part. On the other
hand, i'll the Central New York Farmers Club.
as noticed by the Tribune. one speaker cited
case of uniformly large tubers Of early Rose
by planting the ''stem-end only" and that he
could obtain "a quarter more profit by doing
so. Another said the incest lot he ever saw

drills nine inches apart In fifty bushels there
were not more than one bushel of small po-
tatoes.' Mr.. Scoville had tried both plans.
and found very little difference" Doesn't it
largely depend after all, upon the soil and
fertilizers: vigorous and thrifty growth of
the stalks Is necessary to the best results
and 1t Is easier to get one, two or three such
tops than dozen. Except ON new, stony
soil, or where special fertilizers like wood
ashes or superphosphates are used freely, We
are confident the common mistake is in over
seeding

One of the best ways to reinforce the hay
NOW is to SOW a goodly surface with oats and
cut the crop when the stalks are still green
and full of juices. The time to harvest
when sown for this purpose, is just as the sap
is about to leave the stalk and concentrate in
the berry. This is done quickly when the
movement is once begun, so you must watch
the crop sharply and be ready to start the
scythe to a day. Cut and cured in this man
ner you will average two tons weight TO the
acre. and the stock will eat il with great avid
ity. 1t is very rich in nutrition and should
be.fed with judgment. For colts and brood
