Soil for Potatoes.

Rural New Yorker.
Land for potatoes should be mellow. Consider
how the potato grows. The seed-piece gives the
first food for the sprout The true fbrous roots
start from these sprouts. The sprouts may
really be considered rooted cuttings. The seed
piece will support the sprouts until their roots
can make way through, and to speak take
hold of the soil. Hence it is that the soil for
the starting potato may be looser, more friable
than would be best for the vegetation of other
cuttings of seeds. By the time the tubers begin
to FORM the roots have extended in all direc-
tions two feet even more. Now the trench
secures medium in which the tuber can
form with less opposition than moro COM
pact soil would give, and it further secures
more moisture to the roots which support the
tubers well the tops. The trying, telling
time for potatoes is when the tubeTs are forming
and not until then. Seventy Eve per cent. of
the tuber is water. Any method of culture that
will help supply this moisture at the needed
time must help the yield.
Light, sandy soil is best adapted to sweet
POTATOES. Plow and pulverze it well: then, with
a one horse pillow, strike out burrows three and
half feet apart one way, not too deep. Then
give liberal dressing of fine manure or compost
the furrow, and cover by blowing a heavy
one-horse furrow each way, which, if properly
done, will form ridge ten or twelve inches
high and about eighteen inches at the base.
When you are ready to set out the plants. rake
the top of little and you have a mellow. even
surface. From fifteen to eighteen inches is the
usual distance at which they are set

Dairyine and pastnring have been SO long con-
sidered one and the same occupation that but
few farmers will venture to engage in the former
without first devotinc large portion of the
farm grass upon which the cows may be al
lowed to Craze during the day. When this
method is changed for that of feeding AT the
bsrn-yard. it is termed s'soilne" the cows. Even
those who do not believe soiling can be done
proftably involuntarily practice the soilng
method to a certain extent during the winter
season. for at that time the snow covers the
pasture ground and compels the dairyman to
prepare the food for the cows and give them his
attention in the barn-yard. The principal OBJ
lection to soiing is that it requires large ont
lay for extra labor. yet there is AS much profit
derived from winter dairying as there is during
the summer. The real benefit is in the saving
of manure, which is the most Important occupa-
long fences is done away with. Practical sx-
periments show that by the aid Of tho manure
saved when selling a suficiency of green food
can he grown on a small plat to feed quite
number of cows, we'll as to provide q better
variety of food and secure greater yields of milk
and butter. Prot Stewart, in his book on feeding
animals. mentions how ne fed four horses and
seven cows for fifteen days on the food grown
upon forty rods OF ground; and he has estimated
that forty rods of ground will produce enough
to equal the summer feeding of one cow. but sets
aside half an acre in clover as the allowance for
q during the summer This result is not
the experiment of single season, but the work
of fourteen years devoted to soiling. by which
method the cows give 20 per cent. more milk
than when kept on pasture: and rye. clover,
orchard grass. timothy, green oats. and fodder
corn, with ground grain when required, COM
pose the daily diet The system is one that per-
mits of the gradual accumulation of wealth in
the annual increased fertility of the soil, and
though extra labor may be necessary, yet it is
more effectual in operation as it is not distrib-
uted over a large space. consequently there is
economizng in hauling loads to great distances
over the fields. Selling may not be profitable
to those who have plenty of pasture and large
tracts of land, but it will enable those having
limited areas to engage in dairying, when, by
ize larger profits than those who devote more
land to dairying but adhere to the pasturage
system.
