The FARM DEPARTMENT.
Size of Seed Potatoes.

Experiments with potatoes are not
always satisfactory, says an authority on
the subject, as they are so frequently
made under varying conditions as to
soil, cultivation, depth OF planting, etc,
but still they afford food for thought
and induce other tests. Various eXper-
large and small tubers for seed, and
again planting sets with single eyes has
been pretty we'll tested, and is referred
to elsewhere, but yet there are doubts
lingering in the minds of many as to
the best kind of seed to plant.
E. S. Golf, of the Geneva, n. Y, eX-
detrimental station, made series of eX-
periments with large and small tubers
and seed, and came to the conclusion
that small tuberS from large or pro-
ductiye hills gave heavier return than
large tubers from small or unprOductlve
hills; and that small, uncut tuberS
yielded more tnan cut pieces of equal
weight large potatoes.
Edmund Hersey, of bingham, Mass,
also made number OF tests, covering
several years, which led him to form the
following opinions: First, that whole
potatoes will produce crop from week
to ten days earlier than cut potatoes :;
srcOnd, that small whole potatoes will
produce for many years in succession as
good if not better results than large po-
tatoes cut the size of the small whole
ones; third, the ''Seed end" of the po-
tato starts with more vigor, and pro-
duces larger and more potatoes; fourth,
a large piece will produce better crop
than very small pieces or single eyes
fifth, that long sprouts, broken of, leave
the potatoes worse off than those with
eyes just starting; sixth, that the po-
tato scab is not pr0pagated from the
affected seed

Barley in Dakota.

A. w. Parrot. a Dakota farmer, sums
up his experience of six years in grow
ing barley with this
Whole number of acres SOWed to bar
ley during that time, 81; total number
of bushels threshed, 1,24l, or an average
OF about % bushels to the acre. Throw
ing out seven acres which were de-
sire yed by hail, the average would be
about % bushels per acre. Now, it costs
me about 81 per acre to get the barley
in the bin That is counting my time
and that of my team and machinery
used, etc., the same as though L had
hired il put in and paid the going wages.
Twenty-Five bushels per acre at, say,
an average of 80 cents per buShel, would
be S7.70-$6 would leave Sl.I0
profit per acre, besides being paid
for all work performed and other
expenses; S1.70 per acre is not very
large profit, but in the next six years, If
they average about the same as the last
six, in regard to the weather, hope to
be able to raise one-half more barley to
the acre than / have in the past, and
will do it by observing these points:
First, SOW Mansury barley, for | have
seen it grown beside Scotch barley and
common barley, and under the same
circumstances, and it out-yielded either
one of them. Second, SOW with press
drill. Third, SOW about the 10th of
May. Fourth, the land that barley is
grown on should be cultivated to a hoed
crop previous to sowing barley on it,;
that will give good length of straw
and it can be harvested without much
waste. Under those conditions think
forty bushels per acre could be raised on
an average

Trees as Snow Brakes.

Letter to the Globe.
Billiards and snow blockades have
been the rule this winter, often depriv-
ing us of mails and communication for
days at time. People say you cannot
stop the cuts from filling up with snow
when there is so much of it and the
wind blows so. l say you can, and
there is just one way to do it. and that
is to set out plenty of trees on the north
side of the track and then take care Of
them. Cottonwood, box elder and black
ash will grow here splendidly, and it
will take three or four years only TO
make permanent snow fence. 1t Is no
experiment either. Trees can be got
here by the carload on the Missouri
river. and cheap. Set out the trees
right and then take care of them and
they will grow. You can't take willow
cutting and sharpen the end and drive
it in the ground like picket pin and
expect it to grow in this country, like
the Northern Pacific railway did west
of the Missouri. Such work discourageS
tree planting. 1t was their idea
of sending some little dude out West to
set out trees because he is some distant
relation to Adam and Eve. Why, L
have seen them handle trees and cut
tings when they didn't know enough to
chew gum. Besides, il the railroads
would plant trees it would encourage
the farmer. ] like to see them grow,
and they will grow if properly handled.

except one. If the farmer plants corn
he can snap his finger at the
feed dealer, even in q dry season,
instead of paying for feed
out of the receipts of his wheat crop.
Care should be taken to select variety
of corn that will mature early, and at
the same time produce good supply OF
fodder, which will pay all expenses OF
raising the crop. have tested various
kinds of corr, and find the Canada Smutt

earlier each year. The Little Squaw
corn is few days earlier, but is sadly
deficient in value for fodder. OF dent
varieties, have raised the Pride of the
North with good results, but as it does
not sucker, the fodder is not as good as
with flint corn"

Enriching Milk by Feeding.

There is a great natural difference in
COWS with regard to the richness of milk
they give, and this is only partially mod
fled by feeding. Jersey cows make
yellow butter and good deal of it, ac-
cording to the quantity of milk, even in
winter, says the American CultivatOr.
If the feed be dry and poor they will
not give so much. A COW Chat naturally
gives thin, poor milk may he made to
give somewhat better milk by giving
her rich food, as corn meal or oil meals.
Probably if this was continued while
the COW is bearing calf the progeny
will inherit this tendency to put more of
the milk into the cream pot. In this
way our large mixers may ill time be
bred as equally remarkable for butter
production. There is a hint in this fact
also against neglecting the feed of cows
while they are dry and near dropping
their calf. 1t might make trouble with
their bags to feed rich or succulent food
at this time, but this is undoubtedly the
best way to develop good animals for
fine dairy either for milk OF butter,
