WlNTERING SEED POTATOES.

Potatoes for the following seasons
planting should be selected either at dig
ging time or during the leisure months
of early winter. This is especially i'm
pOrtant when they are stored in deep
bins or piled together in large quantities.
Under such conditions there is always
danger of heating, which is sure to i'm
pair the terminating powers of the tu-
bers. If the grower pays no attention
to the potatoes he intends to plant until
the season for planting is at hand, and
then draws from the common heap for
such quantities as he may need, he usual
ly finds them badly sprouted and shriv-
eled, and no more fit for planting than
heated seed corn. Weak, spindling and
stunted vines, with frequent missing
hills, are the usual results from planting
seed potatoes wintered in this manner.
If practicable, the seed stock should be
selected at digging time, and, where sutfi-
cient cellar room is available, should be
stored in shallow bins in a cool location.
If barrels or boxes have to be used for
storage, it is well to ventilate them at
the bottom and sides and place them ON
blocks up from the floor, so as to allow
the air to circulate freely through them.
They should be frequently examined,
and if the potatoes are found to heat or
sprout they should be handled over and
the shoots rubbed off. The lower the
temperature can be maintained without

EXTENSIVE FARMING.

4 thousand acres of arabic land in one
body makes a pretty large farm in New
England State, but that is the size of the
farm owned and managed by Mr.. l.. b.
Harris of Caledonia county, Vermont.
Some of Mr.. Harris ideas of farm econ
omy would strike most farmers as little
old, as when he asserts that he cannot
afford to use a moving machine in heavy
grass on a large farm. He contends that
it costs him much less to secure the eX-
ira help required for hurrying in the hay
crop at the right time than it would to
provide teams for doing the work in the
limited time they would be required. He
has put in as high as sixty tons of hay ina
single day. He begins, in that northern
section, the middle of June and has the
first crop all in before the first of July.
The second crop is also cut when very
young and tender. He buys little or no
grain for his stock, but raises oats, wheat
andcorn to feed at home. He can grow
oats for 20 cents per bushel, and thinks
highly of wheat as a feeding grain for cat
tie. Turnips are also largely raised, and
after filling all available cellar room large
quantities are stored in pits in the field.
In ordinary winters snow covers the
earth and protects it from frost. though
occasionally it may freeze several feet
deep. Even then the straw and earth
protect the turnips sufficiently. He has
100 breeding cows, Herefords, Devons
and Polled Angus, and will begin herd
of Shorthorns next year. His cattle on
the state fair grounds at Burlington were
valued at SG0. 900 for the herd, quite Il
risk for one man to take in carrying to
and from and showing at fair. His
sales are all in the state of Ore
gon. We ask him why he had
not remove his large cattle raising bust
ness to the west where others claim to
be doing so well at the business. His
answer was. and it should encourage
eastern farmers, that if he were prOpos-
| ing to do as large business as the west
ern ranch men are doing he would choose
Vermont lands to do it on. I'VE can beat
all other States in the Union," said Mr..
| H.. sin raising cattle that are good
shaped, vigorous and strong. Our best
| limestone lands are equal to the best in
Kentucky. while our climate favors, or
rather ensures, better constitutions" Mr..
Harris does not fear the long or cold win
tiers of good stock growing State like
Vermont. He says that one of his neigh
bors contends that as many head of cat
tie should be wintered by every cattle
feeder as his farm produces of half tons
of hay. Straw, turnips and grain should
be the chief forage, while the half ton of
hay should work in as cOndiment or
relish. New England farmers, and
American farmers generally, have much
to learn yet regarding the possible uses
and value of straw for feeding beef-pro-
ducing cattle. Mr.. Harris is very sys-
tematic in all his farming business, keep
ing as accurate a set of farm accounts as
if he were running a bank. His animals
are fed and all the work about the stables
is done with the precision of clock work.
He loves farming, believes in it as a bust
ness, and his boys are growing up with
similar ideas and feelings n. +. Farm
