subjects pertaining TO farm or household
life. 1.-The best method of handling the po-
tato CROP was the subject at its last meet
ing +. Northrup led the discussion. From
tests made this year he had the largest yield
from the smallest quantity of seed, one eye
in piece, and one piece in place, planted
in drills; smallest yield from seed ends;
thinks pitting underground the best way to
store G. Jacobs thinks hill culture the best;
planted four varieties, and ALL except Comp
tons Surprise, were more or less scabby.
Frank Chase says bugs are less troublesome
on the Early Bermuda than any other vari-
ETY.; thinks hill culture best. l.. Cooper cuts
two eyes in piece and two pieces in O hill;
plants in rows one way; cultivates with
double shovel, hills up with shovel-plow and
digs with same; selects the largest and most
perfect specimens for seed: stores on the
surface and covers with alternate layers of
straw and dirt, two of each. A. Jennings
can get double the yield under straw in a
dry season. "The care and management of
horned cattle" will be talked up at the next
