grew good crop of potatoes last
year on thin clay soil. / did not have the
coveted clover sod to break for potatoes
the fall previous. So l cut several tons
OF artichOke stalks on river bottom Land
that was rich enough. N hUmus, an d
spread in green state OF clay upland,
pIowed under and sowed to rye in October
Sc. [ bought ton of bones at so cents

gums" with ashes and lime and re1ac ed
them to mush by teaching through the
winter. With what l had CLEANED from
practical potato growers through the
agricultural press, / was ready. Mr.. Al
fred Rose says: "Never allow seed pOta-
toes to throw off spouts in an over warm
cellar; it weakens the vigor," and ran
growth is essential. Again he says:
Take seed potatoes from the cellar;
two weeks before planting, spread out in
some out building to start the buds, and
reject all that do not show proper vitality
and avoid missing hills" After sowing
the bone fertilizer broadcast on good
growth OF rye the ground was nicely fined
with pillow and harrow, and furrowed one
way four inches deep. Large seed pieces
were dropped. The distance apart is
governed by the top growth. Heavy
branching varieties require most space.
The seed was we'll budded and planted
deep, the essential feature for drought.
To get quick growth did not cover only
one inch deep, and in eight days the rows
were descernible. With very light har-
rowing, with the drills, just enough dirt
was worked around the tops, and second
narrowing in ten days from the first
leveled the ground, and did not smother
the top growth, as they had grown above
the trenches or drills. So I got about
two weeks growth ahead of 1.-The man over

My potatoes had "set" and were in the

Cultivating Sorghum.
Iarr,,nl - Ar-r.t.rrrltr.ra

So far as possible the cultivation should
begin early. Even under favorable cir
cumstances sorghum plants make but
slow growth and they need all the encour-
agement possible. If the soil has been
well prepared and carefully planted, so
that it is left in good filth, the cultivation
can nearly always be commenced with q
harrew. In great majority of cases the
harrow can be used earlier than the Guilt
vator and will require less time while it
will work closer around the plants than
can ordinarily be done with cultIvator.
In raising sorghum 1t IS quite an item
to keep the weeds down while the plants
are young, and when the condition OF the
soil will admit the harrow is the best i'm
plement to do this. The more thorough
~ the weeds are destroyed at the start
che easier they can be kept down and the
better the condition that the soil can be
kept in. Except in q wet season, when it
Is absolutely necessary to uss the diamond
pillow in order to destroy the weeds and
afford good drainage, the cultivator
should be used, stirring the surface of the
soil as thoroughly as possible and keep
ing reasonably level. At the first work
ing, al least, care should be taken 70
work as close Is possible TO the plants,
taking care, of course, not TO cover the
plants. Usually tae first three cuitiSa
tions sho7ld be done during the first four
CT five weeks of growth. Once the plants
get well started to grow they viu grow
very rapidly, and IN 2 short time will
shade the ground so that the weeds viii
make very little growth, and under ordi-
nary conditions one more cultivation Will
generally be al that is necessary. But
sufficient cultivation must be given TO
keep the weeds down and have the soil
mellow.
At first the plants are very small and
tender and need clean mellow soil its
order to grow well, and the sGrest plan in
to commence when the plants and weeds

The Yankee Farm Hand

An exchange gives the following pic
ture of wen-known character of forty
years ago, but now seldom seen. This
was the Yankee farm hand. The writer
says: NV hat an institution he used to be
IN the days when We were youpp,
thoroughbred Yankee: not drop of i'm
ported blood in his veins; strong and
1.-the and active and tireIess-inteliigen
fairly well educated, skilled in his bust,
ness, and, as 8 rule, industrious beyond
the belief of his ten-hour generation.
From the time he drove mis- ak into the
Woodple IN the 6ocr-yard on the LIST of
April until the close of the season, after
| harvesting, he expected TO work, not
from sun TO sun, but from dawn to dark
ness, and then did the milking and fed
the pigs afterward. His day was four
teen, fifteen, even sixteen hours long,
and 1t never occurred to him that it
should be shorter. He was no specialist
he could do anything. He was smart
with scythe, handy with hoe, cute with
q cradle, and experienced with an ak. He
knew how much grain and grass we're re-
CURED to the acre, when grass was fit to
cut, and when it was hayed enough to
go IN and he did not need to be told
Waen 10 drop turnip seed in the corn
neId' or how to put corn in the shock
lie could build wall, make cider, shingle
the barn, make hay-rack, or doctor q
sick hog. 1t was safe to leave him to
work alone. And he got for his service
$40, Sl2, possibly SIS for eight months
aud saTed three-fourths of 1t. Then
when he had worked eight or ten seasons
and accumulated few hundred dollars,
ne probably married the hired girl
who had been at work for dollar 8 week
and saved half of that, bought farm,
got out of debt little by little, educated
his children and sert them to the city to
preach or to practice law or work in the
store or shop, while he stays on the old
| homestead and sees it grow up to bushes.

other side had protracte6 the cross -ex-
ANIMATION excessively, occupying six DAYS
IN the case of one witness.
Mr.. Webster bs6e me good uisht after
l had concluded and went to bed. The
next morning he came into court as Sc
rene and majestic as Jove himself. while
L was nervous AMI apprehensive to the
last degree. He oegsn his address to the
court with that slow, penderous gravity
that was so characteristic of him in the
outset of his forensic efforts, then gradu.
ally warmed and quickened. 1 listened
spellbound. for in essence il was nothing
but what had pumped into him in the
two hours aud half talk OF the day be,
fore. But how transmitted and trans
formed. To give you an idea of the
transformation I will take the point to
which l have alluded. He rendered il
thus:
They ask for & continuance! Why
may 1t please the court, they have taken
at this hearing as much time in the cross
examination as it took the Almighty &c
create the universe!'
That represents the difference between
his speech and my talk; my simple six
days grew TO the colossal figure l have
described under the magical touch OF
his genius and this instance was charac
teristic of the whole.

Gang and Sulky PloWs
Lr,r,-os. Ear,,,,,,.

On reasonably level land, clear of
stumps, and where the fields are not too
small, gang or sulky plows can be used to
considerable advantage. The princi pal
saving is with hired help, as one man, with
two teams and good gang pillow, will do
as much work as two teams and two single
plows; and "hen men are careless there is
another advantage, and this Is, if the
ganS or sulky pillow Is properly adjusted,
better work will be done, because there is
less depending upon the man. Ofcourse,
to do good you not only want good pillow,
but it must be properly adjusted. This
Is the case with al machinery. And diff
ferent adjustment is nearly always neces-
sary with different soils, and the machine
will do the work generally in the way it
is adjusted, and many who purchase and
use both sulky and gang p!ows fail to do
as good work as should be done, simply
because proper care is not taken to adjust
so that frstclass work can be done.
The sulky p!ow, for the average farmer,
Is really the most economical implement,
and prairie land can be made TO do first
class work. OF course, with a good team
and good pillow, and man who thor
oughly understands his business, and then
difficult to secure machine that can do
any better work than he can do. But
taking the average, and a good sulky or
gang pillow will generally do fully as good
work as will be done by tho hired. and the
saving Of even one, mans wages and his
board which is nearly always included,
will be considerable item, and this saw
ing, with the certainty of having the work
f1llv Npan done fha 81 =.
ducement of purchasing and using them.
Like all other implements there are
good and bad plows. Inventors can near
ly always see considerable more advant-
ages IN their own inventions than the
maj ority of others are able to get from
them, and in purchasing the farmer must
use his own judgment to a considerable
extent. A poor suIkY pillow is very un-
profitable investment for any farmer.
But when the farm is properly divided
into good sized fields, and with an nipple
ment that under average conditions will
do good work, a sulky or gang pillow can
ce used to q considerable advantage.
remember of one year in Illinois of
blowing eighty acres of prairied land
with a gang pillow, working four horses
abreast; the land was half mile long and
quarter wide. Every round was q mile.
On fields like that am certain that either
sulky o. gang plOws can be used to good
advantage, saving the work of one man
at least. 1 have used both gang and
suIky plows, and all things considered I
prefer to use 16inch sulky pillow work
ing three horses abreast as considering
the quality of the work done, the draft
and the management of the team, good
sulky Is the most economical.

Water in Milk
Prairie Farmer.

Does it pay to run water through the
COW and pay for it in the fora of milk ?
Plainly the solids are what give value to
milk. The water is not improved by
being wasted through the system of the
COW. We can get abundance of it with
out this expensive process. The nutri-
tive elements IN milk are the caseiu, the
fat, the sugar and the ash. The more of
these there are-the greater the per cent.
of solids-the more valuable the milk for
human food; and all these constituents
are the most available when milk is con
sumed in its natural state, as it comes
from the COW. There is great waste in
making it into butter or cheese-but less
in the latter than the former. The only
excuse for making milk into these prod
ucts is the impossibility of keeping it in
its natural state, and the relish we have
acquired for these extracts from milk
for they really are extracts. But the
solids being the nutritive portion, nearly
all the water is discarded. The aim,
therefore, should be to produce milk con-
tanning as large per cent. of solids as
possible. These vary from 10 per cent.
IN some milk to 20 per cent. in others, but
the usual range is u To Is per cent, 3 TO
4 per cent. of which should be fat.
The flow of milk depends largely on
temperature. On hot summer day, all
other things being equal, the COWS pour
out the largest messes of milk. They re-
quire but little food of respiration to
keep up the temperature of the body.
Exercise makes them uncomfoItabIe; so
they are disposed toquiet and rest. They
I'LL their stomachs in the cool of the day
and early seek the cooling shade, where
they lie down, chew the cud in sleepy lazi-
ness and take comfort. This is favorable
to milk secretion. Little of the food be-
ing required to keep up the temperature
OF the body, and the gases being, as rule,
full of albuminoids, most of it is readily
converted into milk Herein We have the
secret of large flow of milk on a hot sum
mer day.

AN ANECDOTE OF WEBSTER
Some of the Legal Methods and Arguments o
the Great EXpOunder,

the Great EXpOunder,
One of the very best anecdotes OF
Daniel Webster, as illustrative of that ex
allied and exglting character which hi:
mind prominently possessed, was told b.
the late 81, George Tucker Cambell, OF
Philadelphia, himself lawyer of great
AMI deserved distinction.
Mr.. Cambell said that having been re.
tanned in somewhat famous case at the
time with Mr.. Webster, who was detained
by his senatorial duties at Washington, the
conduct of the case through all the pre-
Iminaries devolyed upon him, it being
agreed that Mr.. Webster shozld deliver
the closing argument. But" said Mr.,
Cambell, day after day went by withou.
bringing the great expounder, until the
very last day before that on which the
closing argument was to be delivered, and
was in despair. [ was sitting in ny
room at the hotel debating with myself
what to do when Mr.. Webster was an.
nounced. After the little civilties had
passed he asked me TO tell him about the
case.
"'Why, Mr. Webster said I, is it pos
sibls yoa know nothing of the case:'
"'Nothiug whatever said he. Tell me

Nebraska farmer who has had muck
experience in raising cottonwood trees
from cuttings states that those taken
from the tree in early spring and put
immediately in the ground do best. He
plants them where he wants them to grow,
using spade TO make an opening in
which to insert them. He leaves only
one or two buds above ground, and
presses the earth firmly against the cut
ting. Planted in this way not one in
q hundred will fail TO grow If the season
Is favorable. If the cuttings have been
taken from the tree some time they
should be soaked in water for week be
fore they are planted.
The report of the national department
of agriculture says the condition Of sheep
Is unusually high and shows marked
degree of uniformity throughout the
| country, the exceptions being merely
| of local character. The status in re-
gard to healthfulness, in particular, is
far above the average.
When the farmer shall begin to estI.
mate the value of sheep from the stand
points of meat fertility, and general
advantage to the farm, he will not allow
the market price of wool to determine
whether or not he will raise them.
Spiders rarely cause any trouble with
bees. Strong colonies are fully able to
