The most important study for the far
mer at the present time is the nature and
habits of the numerous parasites which
render his labors improbable to so large
an extent. On every hand these
parasites abound; some are invisible and
known only by the damage they il tlict
upon the crops. Numerous parasitic
plants. minute insects, others which are
readily seen, with larger vermin, all com
bine to destroy the crops in the growing
season or when saved and stored. Not
one product of the farm, vegetable or ami
mai, escapes these enemies. To ignore
them, or to fail to learn and know their
habits and the best means of combating
them, is to lose a large portion of the re-
wards of industry, and yet very few far
mers take any pains to acquire this knowl-
edge.

WHY POTATOES RUN OUT.
While They Do, 1t Is Not Necessary.


In response to the query why farmers and
others believe that potatoes, after a term
of years, deteriorate or run out, a cores
pendent of the Germantown Telegraph
writes: There are several reasons for be-
lieving that they do run out, but no valid
reason for believing that they should run
out if proper seed is planted in the right
kind Of soil at the proper time. The po-
tato can be grown to perfection only upon
high ground little inclined to be dry.
not sandy, but a strong loam that is light
and fine. Good corn land will usually
produce good potatoes, but the practice
has often been to plant them where the
corn would not grow well Low, wet,
heavy. clayey OF mucky soils are insult
able fol- potato growing; the .tubers will
always be poor and watery. Such soils
are lacking in the necessary mineral ele-
ments. therefore the potato Is not perfectly
matured.

USEFUL IN BUILDING.
A pew Device to Prevent Dampnes in
Walls Roofs, etc.

A device patented by A. Siebel, of
Dusseldorf, says the American Engineer,
has been very recently introduced into the
United States for the protection against
dampness of walls, roofs, foundations,
iron construction, etc As described the
isolation is accomplished by the use of in
terror leaden plates protected externally by
patented composition made of asphalt,
''stibaliar' and sand. These plates are
built into the walls horizontally. or into
the roof, and effectually cut off the passage
of dampness from below or above. The
advantages claimed are: That, while COM
parativeiy thin sheets of lead are thorough
ly imperishable and impermeable, and best
adapted to the purpose in view, they are
also easily pierced by sharp objects. To
ooviate this objection Mr.. Siebel protects
the lead on both sides by a strong and
cheaper material. also waterproof The
plates will not crack, can be bent without
damage, will settle with the work. and can
be easily joined or used over again. The
plates, as prepared, weigh about IA
pounds per square foot of surface, and cost
about four cents per square foot

PLANTING POOR SEED

after the sprouts get along and are knock

are apt to be weaker and smaller. There
is no reason yet proved why any variety
may not be kept up to its primitive yield
and quality if good seed is selected and

IlnnrOYe the Breed.

1t appears to some farmers that the
stocking with pure breeds is expensive,
and for that reason they are slow to use
something better than the stock they
have; but it is not expensive to grade up
the stock, as a single male may improve an
entire herd or flock Impr"v, ment adds
size and productiveness, and it is loss to
him who fails to make his young stock
superior to the old ones. By aiming for
something better it will be but few
years before the entire herd has changed
characteristics, and will possess a greater
value as well as give a larger profit.

How to Kill and Dress Fowls.

Turkeys should not be fed for II hours
and it would be better not to feed them
for "a hours before killing. This permits
the removal of the crop through Il much
smaller incisiOn near the neck without
danger of tearing the adjacent parts. Be
fore killing, tie the feet of the turkey to-
gether and suspend it head downward
from pole, place its head upon wooden
block and sever the neck near the head
with quick blow from a sharp ak. Let
the fowl remain in this position for a few
minutes until it bIeeds freely, as that rem
ders the flesh clear white and improves
It's keepng quality Pluck quickly while
still wan for the feathers then come out
easily and there is no danger of tearing
the tender skin. If this precaution is
observed, there is 10 need of scalding; hot
water COOKS the delicate skin and leaves it
blotched and discoIored. Poultry that has
been in scalding water also shrlnks con-
siderably upon being cooled, while the
skin appears drawn in some places and
wrinkled in others. Dry-picked poultry
presents a much more attractive appear
ance, and keeps fresh and plump-loOking
for a greater length of time. Indeed the
better plan is never to let it come in con-
tact with water either lot or cold; even
af er removing the visce:a, the opening
for which should be made just below the
breast bone, the cavity should simply be
wiped cut with damp cloth.
