may have beeded and lost a good many
from rot.
1t is not too late TO bed now, and vet
make as good crop almost as could be
made by the earlier planting. Just as fine
crops as we ever saw have been set the
last Of May and to the middle of June.
Potatoes were bedded about April 10. 1t
appears that potato seed have been very
scarce this spring in good many localities
where the crop were reduced by unfavora-
BILE seasons last year.
Vines should be planted every year in
sufficient quantity to make the necessary
seed for the next year. Potatoes are being
steadily deteriorated in quality, and much
Of this is due we. believe. to the use of the
later draws that spring from the potatoes
after the potato has been nearly exhausted,
sometimes in state of decay, from
the first luxuriant growth of the first
two sproutings. Three or four and some
times five drawings are made from the beds,
and the plants of the last two or three we
are satisfied have nothing like the vitality
that the first and second sproutings possess.
As these late sprouts usually make the bulk
of the small potatoes that are retained for
| seed, the general tendency of the potato is
yearly toward deterioration. There is no
question that they are getting gradually
poorer in quality.
Vine paintings, from those first set out
should be made along in June or July, and
sometimes In August, TO grow the next years
| seed potatoes from. This plan should be
more generally observed, for it accords with
the principles OF vegetable pathology.
In applying fertilizers for sweet potatoes
1t is not the best plan to put all that is used
in the one furrow. The bes. plan is to lay
off the row and list close on it with dia-
| mond scooter. Then follow, and scatter the
fertilizer along this list, most of it falling
of course in the two burrows, one on each
side of where the plants will be set. In
finishing the bed use a turn shovel 20
throw the other two burrows to it. This
| covers up the fertilizer on top of the mar
row list, as well as that in the burrows Fer
| tilizer thus applied is not likly to fire the
crop if dry spells occur, and more roots
will be supplied with the fertilizer than
when it IS all applied in the one furrow un-
der the plant, We are not offering this as
matter of theory, but as a practice de-
veloped from long experience.
| For this valuable crop not less than SOC
pounds of good fertilizer should ever be
applied to it, and when this amount is di-
vided as follows it will rarely fail 60 give
good results:
| Two hundred pounds of finely ground
bone bone dust. 100 pounds cotton seed
meal, 100 pounds of a good acid phosphate
and so pounds Of kainir. There will bt
found profit oftentimes in applying two OIL
three times-yea,' four times the above
quantity. There is hardly any other crop
that pays better for good treatment than the
sweet potato. S. A. Cook.

Farm and stock Notes.

The cellar of the house is the danger
spot. Typhoid fever, diphtheria and other
ailments may often be traced to decaying
matter in the cellar, assisted by the well
that has not been cleaned for several years
Every well, no matter how clear and spark
ling the water, should be cleaned out at
least once year.
Dampness in the stables is not easily
avoided. When the animals are outside
the windows and doors should DO kept
open to allow currents of air to blow
through. As a rule, many stables need
more windows, IN order to admit the rays
of the sun, which serve to dry the in
terror. In summer the windows eau be
shaded.
Food values ard analyses are well enough,
but the farmer who keeps a sharp eye on mis-
stock, and notes the appetite of each ami
mai, will know more about how to feed and
what to give than all the learned "profes-
sors" in the country We do not mean to
infer that the tables of feeding values are
useless. or that the efforts of scientists are
futile, but animals differ in characteristics,
and the only way to know is by practical
| observation.
We cannot too often repeat to inquirers
after the best cow food, says an exchange,
that no one food known will either bring or
keep COW up to her best work in butter
good or better than any other one thing,
but the best Of grass needs to be Reinforced
by more or less OF grain. So the very best
| conceivable ration of grain needs to be re-
enforced by grass or some other succulent
food, such as good corn siiage.
Cultivate less land if your manure heap
| is small There is jus5 as mucA lack of
| judgment in endeavoring TO cover ten acres
with the manure that should go on one acre
as in using lump of butter on ten slices of
bread when it will only answer for one. Be-
| sides this, it takes more labor to spread the
manure on ten acres than on one. Concen-
trate your labor, concentrate your manure
and you may concentrate your crops with

A correspondent to a farmers paper says
''he filled an old basket, with the bottom
partly out, with scraps from the meat mar
| ket, aud hung it up in his coop where the
| Youngest chickens ere conlined. The blow
| flies had a regular barbecue over it. and in
| twelve hours from the time the basket was
hung up the little maggots were dropping

chickens feast on them and will eat hardly
| anything else, and grow as chickens never
| grow on boiled rice or cornmeal.n

Use for Poor Rolling Land.

The most profitable use to put poor rolling
land to is TO set it in peach trees or turn il
out to grass. Set out the young seedlings
ON such land as carefully as if it were good
land; and with the aid Of some fine ground
bone and ashes and pine straw a very
profitable orchard can be ultimately estab-
lished. One can afford to manure properly
hundred spots on an acre with the above
material where he could not afford to apply
fertilizers all over it to the amount necesSa.
~ to make it rich enough for farm crops.
A little bone meal worked in near roots al
the time of setting out, and the following
year an application made on the surfaces
about the tree, and four or five feet in every
direction, of a mixture of bone meal AND
ashes hoed in, will soon make an orchard
that will pay for all the trouble, in al
probability.
