IN the case of seed potatoes Since the DO
ta'o beetle came among us, it is clear that
we have had the very best results from early
planting and by the use OF the earliest va
rletles. Now these early kinds are more
easily affected by the warmth than the late
ones. They sprout easily, and GOODNESS is
therefore the more essential for them. Some
people think it makes little difference
whether seed potatoes sprout or not before
planting and we have known people to
tear Off sprouts several inches long. and cut
up the tubers in full faith that thew will
sprout out again and be none the worse for
It, They generally grow, but they are con-
stltutlenally weaker and much more liable
to disease than those winch do not sprout
till ready to go into the ground. .-Fa,ynsy

THE FAIR.

The editor Of the Avan. Courier, in writ
ing Of the Helena fair, says:
Without intending any reflection upon
the management, for we have hardly deter
mined in our own minds where the blame
rests, we must say that the fair last week
bore no credtable comparison to previous
ones that we have attended--but especially
to the first. Indeed, we hazard nothing in
saying that the tair last week was one in
name only. twas not even very credita-
Bile turf-tournament. The cereals and vege-
tables were of good enough quality, but
there were not sufficient on exhibition to
have filled mcdium-sized Wagon-box. We
doubt not but there are individual garden
ers in Montana who could have made
more creditable exhibition ssingle handed
and alone" In the horticultural depart
ment, however, there were evidences of
hopeful progress, although the displays
were quite lml ted

STORING AND KEEPING POTATOES,

| vi late years the potato has been one ol
the most profitable OF farm crops in the
East, and this chiefly arises from the fact
that itis somewhat difficult to keep any
great quantity OF them. Thus only so many
OF them are grown as can be preserved, and
as the accommodations are limited, there is
no glnt in the market as there is with things
which are grown and must be sent to mar
ket at once. OF course there are times when
potatoes rule low. This apt to be the case
with early ones, grown especially for early
purposes, and which follow the same law
that rules in transient vegetables. So also
those who grow potatoes and have no,con-
veniences for storing. them. These have no
market in the tall, and nust take whatever.
price may rule fer them, Those who have
good cellars under their barns, or in any
place safe from frost and yet cool and dry,
can generally make potato growing pay
very well and these are usually the ones
who do. &a-, )ral. .,I..".5
The infected tubers will often rot, espe-
cially if the mass heats a little, and the dis
eased ones will often communicate the dis
ease to the rest. In cellar this can be seen
and noted but in a mound out of doors no
one knows of the trouble till spring, when
great loss is found. Besides this, it is SO
difficult to get at them in winter that those
who have no way to preserve potatoes exe
cept this, as general thing, prefer not to
grow at all rather than to be bothered with
this. .f ii
Dampness undoubtedly favors the spread
of the potato disease, and therefore, where
there is any chance at all of the disease ex-
listing in the roots, they ought to be stored |
as dry as possible. Those which are to be |

TREATMENT FOR R0UP.

We find the following in an Eastern ex-
change: Towards the last Of December.
1879, found one hen sick out of 4S or 40.
What was the matter with her? For infor-
nation consulted Scion Robnson's s.Facts
for Farmers and the Family Circle, and
round it to be roup. took her from the
nest and held her head over smoking sui
phur soon after gave her nearly one tea
spoonful OF Kerosene oil, and later, the same
amount az int Of rnra ina tablespoonful OF warm
water Next day found a second one sick
and followed the same treatment with her.
In two days afterward the rest of the flock

A MONTANA FRUIT ORCHARD

OF apple, pear. plum, cherry, etc. The ap-

cultivating his fruit trees is simple. but in
teresting. He irrigatas freely during the

the quantity OF water as autumn advances
Just before freezing, however, he thorough

Alter winter sets in aud the ground is well
frozen. he mulcles his trees with decom-
posed straw, which he does not remove un-

considers the winter thaws, followed by
freezes, as the great danger to fruit trees.
The sap starts in the thaw, and the tree is
liable to be killed by the subsequent. freeze.
Mulehing prevents this danger, as it keeps
the sun from the ground around the roots.
thus protecting the tree from winter thaws.
hr. Pickering is satified that he will make
a splendid success Of fruit culture, and be-
lieves that proper attention will secure the
same success in all the valleys Of the Terri
