STOW This Crop Ought to 30 Cultivated
aud Harvested.
1t is q popular idea that buckwheat
may be easily grown and is profta-
Bile under careless methods of culture.
Henry Stewart, one of our most pro-
gressive farmers, takes exception to this
opinion. Writing to The Country Gen
tlcInan he says: no other crop requires
better soil, better seed and more thor
OUCH culture than this for the best re-
suits, and under poor culture it is 10
more profitable than sheat or corn or
potatoes, either of which will give some
return under adverse circumstances if
the season be at all favorable. When
this crop is grown under as careful cul-
ture as is given to oats it yields on an
average nearly twice as many bushels
per acre, and one-half more weight per
buShcl. \ sod is the best ground for It,
AMI thoroughly good narrowing before
and after seeding, with good blowing,
are all indispensable for good yield.

THE ROT IN LATE POTATOES.


Compounds as Frcventivcs.
The value Of the potato crop is geher-
ally assured if the rot il kept away and
not allowed to infest tho Seld; but dur
ing moist summers thid is not an easy
task. As II rule, howevtr, the potato
rot does not DO its greatest damage until
midsummer, and even late in the fall
The decaying season begins in many in
stances during Tie sultry weather of
August, and continues from that time
on through September. Everything con-
sidercd, then. it is always well to plant
early and harvest the crop before the
height OF tho potato rot season is upon
us. On the other hand, many potato
growers plant late to escape the potmo
beetles, and also for other reasons late
planting is bcuefcial but during a wet
season late planting is fatal. The only
true safeguard during very wet seasons
Is to get the seed in early and the har-
vesting over as soon as possible.
In addition to early planting prevent
i've measures may be taken to prevent
the rot and during the middle of the
summer these measures should be adopt
cd.
a farmer writing to The American
Cultivator suggests that the Bordeaux
mixture and other compounds of copper
are all more or less effective. A good
way is to mix the compound with water
and London purple. and then spray the
vines with it several times during the
no; months. This will prevent the rot
and Kill the potato beetles at the same
time. a few such sprayings early enough
in the season Will save the foliage in an
ordinary year and give Il much better
yield Of tuber@.
1t is advised, even when the present
indications are that potatoes will he
comparatively free from the rot, that
the mixture should be used. for a sudden
change in the weather in the middle of
summer might make the whole crop
nearly worthless The fungus first at
tacks the leaves and afterWard the juicy
stems and tubtrs. The foliage should
therefore he kept in good condition until
tive wet season arrives, and after that
the fuugicide should be used pientifully.
Low, damp places are more favorable to
the growth OF the rot than high, dry
places and in planting late crops this
matter should be taken into cousidera-
ton. The higher and d1icr the ground
the less likely are the vines to be attacked
by the rot

POULTRY PROFITS.
what Mr.. Chapman, Of New York. Knows
About 1t.

He said poultry was an annex to the
dairy because in no way can the waste
products of the farm he SO proftably
disposed Of as by feeding hens Six hun
dred hens last year produced for him
$50 in eggs alone. He told how to build
poultry house and how to feed and
rear poultry, and the best way to dispose
of the product. First properly construct
a hcnnery, then PIT ditch on each side
of the building, twelve or fifteen inches
deep, filled with small stones to keep out
rats. Keep the hens on the ground.
Use land plaster for an absorbent. Keep
the hens confined unless you want to
use them as stripcrs Of machinery by
roosting on it,
He gave the ration for eggs-green
food in summer, clover hay, cut into
half inch lengths and steamed or boiled.
But too much clover hay decreases the
egg production. Separate the ROSTERS
from the pullets a. soon as YOU can dis
tinguish them. Feed corn to the former
and wheat to the latter: one produces
far the other growth. The best type of
hens for layers is the short legged, small
headed, plump fowl. lie prefers the
brown Icghorn. The cost of keep is one
dollar a hen per year, the profit i what
one gets above that: ii all depends upon
the man. With this business it requires
an intelligent knowledge and love for
the work. Fresh eggs are always in de-
mand. Ills eggs arc sold under contract
for a year at thirty-tive cents a dozen.

dog. Besides, fancier who has an eX-
ira valuable bird on exhibition may put

When Democrats boast Of the de-
feat of the Peoples party In Kansas
by the Republicans, common mod
esty ought to prompt them 70 wear .

Gratis combined with Kansas Repub-
licans to secure that result.-Nafion-
al Economist.
This il not the first time We have
seen sentiments like the above
promulgated In Alliance papers.
Ever since the first time we saw 1t
we have been trying to study out
what 1t means. Does 1t imply that
the cause of the Democracy aud the
Alliance are one, and that the act Of
the Democrats In voting against the
Alliance was giving the lie to their
own position? In any event the
Economist places the Republican
party far below the Democratic
party on the moral plane.
The real fact is that the Democrats,
after seeing through the shallow
hypocrisy of the Alliance and
peoples party had no use for them.
Added to this the unpstriotic and Oft
en- times seditious words OF Alliance
lecturers and peoples party stump
orators, the Democrats could not
act with them and be decent.
When the dark cloud OF secession
doomed up before the country thou.
sands Of Democrats cast aside their
political preferences for their duty
to their country. The present year
was only n mild repetition Of that
event. The peoples party, or what
there is left Of it, may as we'll make
up its mind first as last that repudia-
ton cannot succeed, nor will defam-
ers of Kansas be allowed to hold
Office SO long as there lisa Democratic
or Republican party left in this
