BS- The question whether one-eye, two
eye, three-eye, or half pieces or whole Po-
tatoes for seed should be used is a condi-
tional one. In a very rich soil two-eye
pieces might give the best crop; in a poor
soil larger pieces would perhaps yleld
better. Some varieties of potatoes are
weakly growers and would he helped by
the larger seed. Others are rank growers
and small seed pieces would serve as we'll
or better. This problem is best solved by
each planter, as the condition of the soil
differs with the locality.

HEAcTED ODDLY.-He was going home
to his wife and family: 1t was growing
dark. He had a lonely road from the
train, and he was getting along a. fast as
he could, when he suddenly. gathered a
dim suspicion that a man behind hin was
following him purposely. The faster ne
went the faster the man went, and they
came to a graveyard. "Now," he said to
himself, "1'n find out if he is after me-"
and he started through the cemetery.
The man followed him. Vague visions
of revolvers behind him, %forebodings OF
footpads and garroters and things grew
upon him. He lodged round a grave,
and his pursuer doged after him. he
made a detour of a family vault. Still
this forbidding shadow followed him round
and round. At last he turned n lacea
the fellow. "What do you want? What
are you following me for?"
81 say, do you always 60 home IKE
this? Pm going up o-'s house to 90

told me if 1 followed you I'd find the
place. Are you going home at all"

p1- A good farmer should v depend
upon his neighbor for what he can, by care
and good management, produce on his

while he can plantor graft trees; he should
never borrow vehicles or tools if he can

FoRMULE FOR CoMPosT.-If the stable
manure and cotton seed have been protect
ed from waste by exposure to rain and
sun, the following formula is recon-
mended:
Stable manure, Pouhuo'
Green cotton seed, """.."".."""Oo pouiius'
Superphosphate, pounds.
Making a ton of..~....."""".2,OO0 pounds.
If the compost is intended for use on
soils particularly deficient in potash, the
proportion of cotton seed and stable ma,
nure may be reduced so pounds each, and
100 pounds of kainit used instead. The
formula would then be:
Stable manure, ..... PV"hue.
Cotton SEED green, '''ooo Pouhe''
Superphosphate," Pouh9s'
Making a ton of......."....2,O0O POUNDS.
These ingredients may be varied in pro-
portions to adapt the resulting composts to
different soils or crops, but either of the
above will be found to give satisfactory re.
suits on every class of soils and on all OF
our cultivated crops.

FIVE YEARS EXPERIMENTS WITH
MANUREs.-The results of five years ex-
periments with commercial and barnyard
manures on the Agricultural college farm
at Columbus, Mo-, as set forth in a recent
report on the same BY Professor ). W.
Sanborn, are briefly as follows:
In good years, with a plentiful supply
of moisture, chemical manures gave a
larger wheat yield than yard manure ;
while in dry years the result was the re-
verse. The gain of the land treated with
chemicals over that on which no fertili-
ger of any kind was used, was mostly, or
possibly wholly, due to the nitrogen IN
the chemicals. Chemicals may be useless
ly used and it is such misuse or unintelli-
gent use that gives rise to the cry that they
are valueless.
Professor Sanborn advises farmers to
attempt to use chemicals mot including
lime plaster or salt) only after intelligent
buying, a careful study of the soil by COM
paratiVe tests, and then on horticultural
crops mainly, including potatoes. This
advice will not apply, however, when
wheat approximates 81 per bushel, or
when soils are largely deficient in potash
or phosphoric acid.
NANCE IN DoGs.-True mango is caused
by parasites, species of acari resembling
the itch insect infesting man. Poor con.
dition of the animal, warm weather, and
especially uncleanliness, may invite and
encourage the trouble, but it can never
be produced without the presence of acari.
A dog cannot contract manage except by
being in contact with al infected animal
or where one has left the mango insects
behind him. When the insects reach the
dog they burrow into his skin and cause
great and uncomfortable itching, as we'll
as scabs and sores on the surface. The
best treatment consists in rubbing the dog
with oil and then %scrubbing him with cas-
tile soap and warm water. Then rub him
dry and apply once a day a small quanti-
ty of sulphur ointment, well rubbed into
all parts of his skin, and not only where
the eruption has made its appearance. A
still more effective application for the pur-
pose is thymo.cresol. Of course the place
where the dog is kept must be scrupulous-
ly and frequently cleansed so as to destroy
all parasites. The internal treatment has
to be n odified according to the animals
condition. A gentle aperient is sufficient.
