LINED and UnIimed Potatoes.

1t Is quite often recommended to dust
potatoes with lime when storing them
away in the fall as protection against
rot To determine The effect Of this
treatment. with more than the ordinary
degree Of eXactness, trial was made IL
the Hatch Experiment. station OF the
Massachusetts Agricultural college last
season.
From Il pile Of potatoes found to be
rotting badly after being ding, four sam
pies Of Il buahel each of apparently sound
tubers We're selected. These We're placed
in bushel baskets and two baskets Were
put into dry cellar and two into we'll
lighted and dry grauary. The tubers
put into one basket in each lot were
thoroughly sprinkled with air slaked
lime as they We're put in, the other bas-
ket was uutreateI. This was done on
Sept II, and the tuhcrs remained undis-
turbed until Dec. 3, when they were
carefully examined.
From the results as shown in table
with careful eXactness it appears that
the differences in the amount Of rot
were very small. In the case of the Gel
lar samples the tuhcrs untrcated kept
slightly better than those which We're
lined, In the granary samples the diff
ference was in favor of Inning. 1t thus
appears that the experiment was not sut-
ticiently decisive to Justify pronouncing
either for or against the treatment. 1t
is, however, thought that the quantity of
lime used six pounds for the cellar ana

In answer to the question, "What
must l do to make cabbages head up
hard:' asked by correspondent Of The
Rural New Yorker, as good authority as
J. J. II. Gregory replies;
Want Of high manuring and lack of
proper cultivation are the principal
causes for failure in either early or late
cabbages TO head up hard in this section,
where success is generally met with.
There are sections, however, and these
among market gardeners. where the
highest culture and most liberal manur-
ing are applied, where late cabbages fail
to give satisfaction, though such have
excellent success with the early varieties.
The cause for failure in such localities
have never heard explained, and not be-
ing acquainted with all the facts would
not hazard an opinion. If IN the same
region others succeed in getting hard
heads where your correspondent fails,
then doubtless there Is a removable
cause. Let him manure at the rate Of
eight or ten cords per acre Of good stable
manure, dropping hcaping tablespoon
full of complete fertilizer in each hill AMI
mixing wei! with the soil before plan
ing the seed; then, Just before giving his
plants their first hoeing, scatter about q
half handful Of unleached wood ashes
around each hill. Maturing literally

FACTS AND FANclES IN sl.AGe.


Some of the Advanced Ideas That Have
Been Confirmed by Practical Experience.
The stone silo, except under limited
circumstances, has had its day, and has
ceased TO be written about in silo litera-
ture. The lathed and plastered silo is
now seldom, mentio. ed. Its great advo-
cate, Professor Cook, of Michigan, now
is on record for the wooden lined silo,
made durable with a coat of gas tar and
gasoline. The contest is now between ~
slo with a lining of two thicknesses of
cheap, sound lumber, single surfaced,
not even matched, put on with half
a lap, with tarred paper between to
make the walls doubly air tight, and the
silo with a lining Of single board
good flooring matched, and not paint
ed, the idea being that the lumber dries
out during the summer. and when the
silo is filled the swelling forces the joints
and seams in the matching all close shut,
and the silo lasts for years.
Fast filing is now, when help can be
obtained, generally recommended, Corn
thinly planted and cultivated very shall
low to induce caring, and allowed to
stand until "oUt Of the milk before
cutting, and then filled in without wilt
ing, seems the material out of which
sweet silage is made. Filling with whole
fodder, now that some of the conditions
of that process are understood, has many
friends. The smaller kinds of corn must
be used, and the silo filled as the corn
begins TO glaze. The corn fodder should
be laid all ono way, tops and butts.
The tops along the walls should be
broken over, and in the corners green
hay should be occasionally put to keep
them full and air proof.
How TO cover a silo is matter upon
which few silo men agree. The sue
cessful cover Of last year is no better
this year than no cover. AS a rule,
cover as we may, sO;ae It the surface
silage will spoil. The slage left with
out ! cover rarely has more spoiled silage
than the one that has been protected
with a tight fitting cover
What material has proved best for
silage is answered Corn every time
Clover may be n close rival, but farmers,
as a rule, do not succeed nearly as well
in SLIDING it as they do with corn. There
are things about clover not so perfectly
understood. Some farmers think that
the secret Of good clover silago consists
in cutting in full blossom, not allowing
it to wilt and putting 1t in the silo with
ont treading. Like corn, it needs all the
air possible to start the heating uniform
ly through the mass. The cause of corn
molding in the silo is overtreading, and
forcing out so much air that there is not
enough left to carry on the heating to
the 120 dogs point. and mold sets in
because Of this lack Of air TO complete
the work Of ferment, or germ killing,
whatever the process may be, says John
Gould. Of Ohio, in the American Agri-
Crltnrl-t.

NEW ENGLAND CROPS
Tho Vermont Yield of Hay Better than
Expected

mo vermont Yield OF nay Botter thau
Expected.
Boston, July 20.--The week just passed
has been for the most part very favorable
for tbs farmer. The temperature has been
very low in northern New England, the
Thermometer at West Milan, n. H., regis
terng 80. 5 degrees on the 18th. In central
New Hampshire and eastern Maine heavy
thunder storm of the 10Th did some damage
by wind, rain and lightning. At Newport
n. IT,, several sets of buildings wero burn
ed and fields and roads were badly washed.
At Danbury and Grafton, n. H., corn and
potatoes were somewhat injured, and at
Lewiston, Me-. and vicinity several build
ings were burned. heavy thunder storm
prevailed over Connecticut on tho 18th.
But favorable weather for harvesting hay
and grain has prevailed over the greater
part of New England, and all crops have
been benefited by the warm weather and
sunshine.
laying is now general in the northern
States and is completed in some sections in
the south. The crop continues to turn out
much better than was expected, aud is of
superior quality. Corn and tobacco has
made fine growth. Potatoes promise vol
in the non tn, but in the south where dig
ging has begun they arc found to be very
small. Apples do not promise AS well as
has been reported in Now Hampshire and
southern Vermont. They are dropping Off
n,iierably.
Vermont, Brattleboro: Hay about two
thirds cut. Corn and POTATOES never looked
better: armies short but more than la st
year: oats are looking well but some indi-
cation Of rust. Craftsbury: Hay crop
nearly an average one potatoes and all
loNcl grains looking we'll: corn small
West Faroe: The hay crop much better
than was expected and of excellent quality.
Corn and potatoes are coming along very
fast and the prospect looked fair for a heavy
crop of both.

bureau to the director of the New England

Look over the world to-day. In coun-
tries the most widely differing-under
conditions the most diverse as to gov
ernment, as to industries, as to tariffs,
es to currency-you will find distress
among the working classes; but every
where that you thus find distress and
destitution in the midst of wealth, you
will find that the land is monopolized;
that instead of being treated as the
common property of the whole people,
it is treated as the private property Of
individuals; that, for its use by labor,
large revenues slre extorted from the
earnings of labor. Look over the world
to-day, comparing different countries
with each other, and ycu will see that
it is not the abundance of capital or the
productiveness OF labor that makes
wages high or low; but the extent to
which the monopolizers of land can, in
rent, levy tribute upon the earnings of
labor. Is it not notorious fact, known
to the most ignorant, that new coun-
tries, where the aggregate wealth is
small, but where land is cheap, are al
ways better countries for the laboring
classes than the rich countries?-Pro-
gress and Poverty.
