Digging Potatoes,

There are several different opinions
held among farmers as to when potatoes
should be dug. 1t is question whether
they should be harvested as soon as
matured or left until just before the
ground closes up. Early Rose ripening
in August, if not dug until the approach
of cold weather would remain in the
ground some two months and other later
varieties about month or six weeks. We
should dig potatoes as soon as the vines
wither, for tubers remaining in the ground
are liable to injury from many quarters,
which they would not be if Immediately
taken from the ground and placed in the
cellar. Oftentimes rainy damp weather
will ensue and during such periods pota-
toes which are not dug will almost sure
ly be attacked by rot. Furthermore the
tubers will always be more or less injured
by worms, which, eating into many Of
the potatoes, render them unfit for sale.
sometimes heavy rains will wash the dirt
from the tops Of the hills and the potatoes
being exposed to the sun will be burned
so badly as to unfit them for culinary
purposes.
There is another matter which should be
taken into consideration in connection
with digging early. Not one field of
potatoes in fifty is ever hoed so thorough
ly as TO be entirely free from weeds when
the crop. becomes ripe. Accordingly if
the potatoes are not dug until late in the
fall the weed seed will mature, and, falling
on to the ground, ,intermingle with the soil
and be prepaSed to furnish the land with
a next years crop of weeds. II will plain
ly be seen that If the tubers are dug in
season and the land Thoroughly worked.
the weeds will be uprooted and the seed
destroyed before maturity. In sorting po-
tatoes in the field, care should be taken TO
throw out every tuber that may be tinctured
with rot, for unsound potatoes if allowed
to go into the bin with the sound ones
will almost surely communicate the disease
TO many which otherwise would have re.
manned perfect.

And yet there is no reason that we can
see why there should not be improved

other thing, and there doubtless would
be if public attention was drawn to the
matter as it should be.
Col. CURTIS, of the n. Y. Tribune.
says: The analysis of chemistry as
printed In the books have not yet caused
me to lose my faith in the feeding value
OF roots. When fed in connection with
meal il is I positive fact that they help
to keep the appetite from tagging and
aid IN dlgesting, besides contributing
directly toward the fattening of the ami
mails. These are three important func-
tons. 1t may be asked, how do you
know that roots contribute toward the
fattening of an animal? By demon
stration. Any professor will admit that
straw is not especially fattening. and
yet an OK may be fitted for the sham
bles on straw and mangles.
RAPE is but little known in this coun-
try, but in England it is regarded as a
standard forage plant, and much cult.
waited. 1t is really variety of the tur-
nip, but the foliage has been developed
at the expense of thereof, whereas In the
turnip the attention of cultivators has
been given entirely to charging the root,
which has become the main object of the
grower. Rape grows from three to four
feet in height, and yields an immense
amount of foliage, which is greatly rel
lshed by stock, more especially sheep.
In England rape is used as renovating
crop where the land has been run down
by overcropping. 1t is sown in May,
either b oadcast or in drills, at the rate
of ten pounds of seed to the acre If
broadcast, orfour pounds if in drills. If
intended to be fed off, of course it
should be sown broadcast, as the more
the plants are crowded the more tender
and succulent they are.

grave the origin of the beautiful row OF
elm trees now standing on the old Long

Stephen Longfellow, the poets father,
offered his hired man two shillings for
each elm tree he would plant and make
live by the roadside of his farm. In ac-
knowledgeing an invitation to a like
celebration twenty-five years ago, Mr..
Longfellow said: 8" 1t will add one more

farms, pastures scented with pennyroyal,
