SWEET POTATOES.

What a Large Cultivator Has to Saw
About Their value ss q Food for stock.
Those farmers in the West and South
who raise grain and stock should cer-
tainly raise sweet potatoes to feed their
stock in connection with grain Aside
from their fat and flesh-forning ma
terials they exercise a cooling inilu-
ence on the system, materially reduce
ing the chances OF disease. From three
to six times as many bushels per acre
can be grown as OF corn, thus making
them the cheapest to raise. They can
be easily grown on almost ant kind OF
soil where water does not stand at any
time, but on low land the ridges should
be made quite high, and plants of the
Golden Queen and Red Bermuda set at
least two feet apart on the ridge. The
above kinds are the most productive
and are excellent varieties for the table.
A large cultivator says that fed with
third potato and two-thirds
corn-to hogs. and given nothing but
water to drink, they increased in
weight much faster than others which
had their feed of corn supplemented
with the milk and slops from the
kitchen. The analysis OF sweet potato
shows 65. 9 per cent. of starch and l4.S
per cent. of sugar, which is proof
enough of their value as a food prod
uct.
At this time, more than ever before,
the profits of the farm depend upon
the economical methods and in its
management. The low price OF most
all kinds of farm produce makes II
absolutely necessary for the farmer to
look for the cheapest way to produce
.he same.

GOOD BREEDING STOCK.

Essentials Necessary to Building Up .
Trade In BIooded Animals.
In order to make success of breed.
ing and raising stock to sell again as
breeders. it is not only necessary to
have good stock. but he must build up
a reputation for his stock and himself.
His stock may be of the very best kind,
and yet If he has not been able to build
up reputation for honesty and fair
dealing, he will find it somewhat diff
cult to build up good trade.
tits not only necessary that he should
own good stock, but he must be able
to make and breed so that the offspring
that he may secure will not only be of
fully as good quality as the parents,
but he must be able to still further
transmit these good qualities to his Off
spring. The appearance of his is not
always a criterion of this, and
this is one reason why it
is so necessary to deal with
only reliable parties. The purchaser
of improved stock generally makes an
investment that he expects to be profit
able. Nearly all kinds of breeding
stock are sold at prices considerably
above the average market prices, con-
sidering every thing else to be equal.
except as for breeders.
In determining question of this
kind the reliability and honesty Of the
breeder becomes a very important
item, as it is the purchasers principal
reliance for securing good breeding
stock. And the breeder who has start
ed out with the intention of securing.
or rather of building up trade. must
be honest with his customers, or in a
short time he will find himself unable
to make sales at any thing like fair
price. A reputation for honesty is at
the foundation of success with the
breeders. and if any thing like last
ing business is secured it is abso-
lutely essential. 1t is true that occa-
sionally breeder will be able by sharp
practices to seemingly make a success
for some time, but he is certain to be
overtaken at last; while on the other
hand. reputation for honesty and fair
dealing will grow, and the longer the
better. so that the reputation, or the
name itself, will be quite an item.

USES OF INSECTS.

New Theories Advanced by Prominene
New Jersey En1.moiogist.
George d. Hulst, entomologist OF the
New Jersey Experiment Station, holds
to the opinion that injurious insects
after all are not an unmitigated evil.
They make production little more
laborious. he says, and add to the
chances of financial success for the
careful man. We have yet much to
learn about insects, and how to deal
with them; but we are advancing. A
knowledge of the life history of every
insect is needed in order to show us at
what stage of its existence-egg, worm
or caterpillar. chrysalis and perfect
insect-we can take it at its great
est disadvantage. OF poisonous
remedies the arsenical prepare
lions answer the purpose for leaf-eaters
in almost every instance. Kerosene and
pyrethrum kill by contact A mixture
of the two kinds, however. Paris green
or London purple with kerosene emul-
sion or pyrethrum, secure two chances
to kill, and will be found most effective
in many cases.
Mr.. Hulst also states that we need
stricter laws, or stricter enforcement
Of existing laws, against the destruction
Of birds The demands for material
for decorating female head-gear have
done more to strip the country OF Our
song birds than the quarrelsome nature
| of the English sparrow. Among useful
insect-eaters Mr.. Hulst names toads,
snakes, moles. the latter the only enc
my that preys upon the rose-beetle
when in the larvai state People should
begin to fight insects at their hrst ap
pea-ance, and not wait until they have
grown numerous and destructive.

FORESTS OF ALASKA.

The Almost Inexhaustible Timber Re-
sources of Our Arctic Territory.
The prevailing forest tree of Alaska,
says Mr.. George Davidson, of the
Coast Survey, is the Sitka spruce.
growing to great size, covering every
part of the ground, and climbing the
steepest mountain sides to the height
of 1000 or $500 feet above the sea-
|, This tree resembles in form and
foliage the silver frs of California. In
the Archipelago Alexander, with q
shore line OF more than 1900 statute
miles, the land is densely wooded from
the waters edge. It can never be de-
vastated by forest fires, because the
carpet of wet. sphaJnum over the sur
face of the country effectually pre-
vents fires from spreading.
We measured felled spruce trees that
were 1870 feet long and 4 feet thick at
the butt; while adjacent standing trees
measured over feet in diameter, were
branches for over so feet, and esti-
mated to be 250 feet high.
Hemlock, alders, and willows are
found; but the most remarkable wood
of the country is the yellow cedar, with
fine, even texture, fragrant smell, good
size. and greater strength than the
spruce. 1t is readily worked. takes a
smooth surface. and is remarkably dur
able. 1t is valuable addition to the
cabinet woods, and iC superior as ship
timber to any on the coast.
1t can be obtained of ample size for
frames and knees for ordinary sized
vessels. We measured one Is feet in
circumference, and estimated it to be
over 125 feet in height. We collected
part of the keelson and frame OF a
Russian vessel built of this wood thirty.
two years before, and which had been
living a wreck on the beach for several
/ years. It exhibited no signs of decay
nor of teredo attacks, and the wood
around the copper and iron bolts Il
nearly as we'll preserved as on the day
they were driven.
On Kadiak Island the forests cease
toward the south. The yellow cedar
does not grow on the northeast part o
the island; but the average size OF thu
spruce is less than two feet in diane
ter.
Hemlock is found in abundance, and
has its value for tanning purposes.
When the forests of Washingto:
Territory and Oregon are exhausted
Alaska will be the great and our al
most inexhaustible resources in tn
future.

FARM AND FuREsIDE.

NO better food for chickens, young
or old, than milk, sweet. sour, or but
termilk. 1t is beneficial If occasionally
seasoned with red pepper and a little
alum. 1t is said to prove a good remedy
for gaps.
Never feed animals or poultry for
thirty-six hours before killing. nor give
water for twelve hours. By SO doing
it will be easier to dress them. and
saving of food will be the result II a
large herd or flock is to be slaughtered.

keeping.
Fish Gems: Take any remnant Of
boiled fish, chop it fine and add the
same amount of bread crumbs soaked
soft in milk; also two eggs beaten and
a spoonful of butter; season with salt,
pepper and chopped parsley. Bake in
buttered pan twenty minutes.
Moses and lichens injure trees,
not by depriving them of nourishment,
but by affording a hiding place for in
sects, as well as by shutting out light
and air. Whitewash made from fresh
lime will remove them, or they can be
taken of with tree-scraper. After q
rain it can be done most easily.
"A tablespoonful of liquid ammonia
to each gallon Of soft water used to
water the plants will serve as an admi-
rable fertilizer. Weak manure water
is also good. This latter is made by
allowing water to stand few hours on
stable manure. Care should be taken
not to have it too strong. Keep the
earth moist, not wet Do not water
often. but thoroughly when it is done.

is not desirable to attempt to give
medicine unless you know the cause Of
the difficulty, and the safest remedy is
to diet the animal. A warm mash Of

animals are not thrifty, with the coats
