HOW TO TELL A GOOD POTATO.

TO distinguish good from poor potato.
take sound one, pay no attention to ito
outward appearance but divide it into TWO
parts with sharp knife and examine the
exposed inner surfaces II there is 30 mach
water or "juice'' that slight pressure
weuld seemingly cause it to fall of in drops.
you may be assured that il will be ''soqgy"
after it is boiled. That is evidence of poor
potato, and don't you buy it.
The following are the requisite qualities
of a good potato: When cut into the color
should be yellowish white; if it Ia a deep
yellow it will not cook well. There must
be a considerable amount OF moisture. though
not enough to collect in drops and fall of,
even with moderate pressure. Rub the two
pieces together, and, If it Is good white
froth will appear around the edges and also
upon the two surfaces after they are separ-
ated. This signifies the presence of a proper
quantity OF starch. The more froth them,
the better the potato; while the less there
is the poorer it will cook. The quantity Of
the starchy element may also be judged by
the more or less ready adherence Of the two
parts. If the adherence is sufficient fer one
piece to hold the other up, the fact is evi-
dence of good article. These are the ex
periments usually made by experts when
buying potatoes, and are the best tests that
can be given short Of beiling; but even they
are by no means intallible. e.-Seedti,ne and
Harvest.

THE TIMBER CULTURE ACT.

On the prairies of the West is where ex-
the beuehts OF the timber culture act are
felt. Nothing is more important to increase
the qaantity Of crops, to prevent the evap-
oralion OF moisture, to ameliorate the, eli
mate and afford protection for man and
BEAST both in winter and summer. There
will, no doubt, be an etfsrt made in Con-
gress 20 repeal the timber culture act. Mr..
G. s. Sargent, in the North American Repieao,
says it has failed entirely in accomplishing
what was honestly expected of it, has given
Use to gigantic frauds, and encourages the
planting of trees where threes cannot grow
unless artificially irrigated, etc.
In regard to the working Of the act in
Western Nebraska, Ms far West rs the Tooth
meridian and beyond, the writer has given
personal observation, and the practical re-
suits of planting trees on timber claims diff
fer widely from the foregoing statement. In
Buffalo 600 miles west OF the Missouri river }
and adjacent counties there is at least 500
quarter-sections where groves OF from 10
80 acres have been planted on timber entries
and are growing well. On many of these
are thousands of trees 30 to 40 teet in hignt.
and from eight to ten inches in diameter,
grown from sprouts and seeds since the act
became a law in 1873. Hundreds of in-
stances might be given similar to the toll
lowing: One man in Dawson county, near
the Tooth meridian, where wiseacres few
years ago fixed the western iimit of rainfall,
has thirty acres of cottonwood an his claim,

THE "BEsT BREED

(which is the best breed ?" is the uues-
ton that stares ap at me from halt a dozen
different letters, but only enc man seems to
know what he wants the "best breed" for
His letter states the case for SO many West
ern farmers that give the greater part of it.
1--WE have concluded that so long as we
must keep hens in order to supply poultry
and fresh eggs tor home consumption, we
might as well keep some one of the pure
breeds AZ TO keep such lot of mongrels as
we have at present. But we know nothing
about any OF the fancy breeds. except what
we read, and as each breeder claims that his
particular variety is the best. we are all at
sea on the subject. We must depend upon
the sale OF the surplus eggs, and upon the
sale OF the tswls when their laying days are
over for our profit; so we want breed that
will weigh the greatest number OF pounds
bator, so must have fowls that will sit and
raise chickens in season. We also want
fowls that will lay goOd-sizea eggs. We
propose to keep afly laying hens as we have
reom for that number and mean that each
hen shall raise brood of chickens each
season; but we dent expect to raise any
spring chickens tor market, neither shall we

will take half the chickens to supply our
table and keep up the laying stock, but wife
thinks that from the sale OF the other halt.
and the old hens, and from the surplus eggs,
we ought to clear $50 per year. Says that
If she can do that much (she will manage
the poultry she will be quite satisfied. The
price of eggs in cur locality varies from 10
and II cents in summer to 25 cents in win
ter, and live poultry sells in the fall for five
or six cents pound but then it don't cost
much to keep fowls on farm here. We
think that the poultry and eggs used in q
family of six will qaits pay for all expense
of raising and keeping the whole lot, so that
all we sell may be counted as clear gain.
What do you say?"
| say that il you were to have breed
made to order it probably would not fill the
bill any better than the Light Brahmas.
From flock "t fifty Light Brahma hens you
may safely count on 500 dozen eggs yearly
| allowing one-half that number for sitting
aad for family use, you will have $50 dozen
for market, which will, at an average price
OF sixteen cents dozen, give the gesd wife
$40 profit from the sale OF eggs alone. II
each hen raises one brood Of chickens each

every case where it is practicable meadows
should, after haying, receive a top-dressing
of bone dust, ashes or some well decompos
ed barnyard manure, compost or standard
commercial fertilizer. Coarse manure is
not suitable. AS it is likely to smother young
plants coming from seed, especially clover, for
very slight covering will smother young
clover plants during hot weather. When
stable manure is used it should be old and
very fine and applied by some good manure
spreader. The more com mon practice of
most of eur tarMers is to turn the title and
stock on their meadows alter haying, and
let them eat down the stubbe still closer
aud take away every blade OF the new
growth as fast as it appears, which is mis-
take much to be regretted. In wet seasons
blue grass and red top may withstand such
treatment tor season or two, but it is
death to timothy, orchard grass. and smi-
lar coarse growing species. Meadows should
net be fall pastured. at least mot until Wig
orous second growth to lay the crowns Of
the plants bare by the approach of cold
weather. If meadows are pastured late it
should be followed with liberal top Dress
ing of stable manure to act not only as
fertilizer, but as protection to the crowns
of plants in winter. Hay and pasture are
the foundation of our agricultural wealth,
but it is only in the thickly settled dairy
regions that the meadows and pastures are
given anything like tair treatment, and
even in these no expense is incurred beyond
what is thought actually necessary to pro-
duce good crop of hay and fair growth

ago, when grain WAS ready sale at from to

fer the "home market" you will have each
fall 200 chickens and rs cid hens fer market.
The old hens will probably weigh eight
pounds apiece alive, and if the young chicks
will not average up five pounds piece they
will be poor lot SO you will haye some
thing like l 400 pounds of live poultry to
market each fall. Figure that up at the
moderate price of five cents pound, and
see whether you stand chance of getting
that $50 profit or not. If your wife under

most from them, it is quite likely that she
will clear rather more than $100 year from

The best breeds for those who want nom

The best pure breed for capons is the Light

The best breeds tor spring chickens are
the Plymouth Rock, Dominique and Wyan-
