CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-The directors
of the Mount Carmel Air Ship Com
pany held meeting at the Grand
Pacific today. Among the subjects
considered were the erection of a
factory and the construction of sever
al large air ships, 1t was decided to
raise $2,0OO,COO, part Of which would
be expended in establishing a large
plant and the building of the new
ships. The full board of eleven di-
rectOrs was in attendance. 1t is eX.
pected, the directors say, that one
big ship will be ready for a trial
flight within ninety days.

waited well after planting; the planting,
as rule, should be six inches below tho
surface OF the well-prepared soil
Cultivation should be sufficiently thor
ough to completely destroy all weeds,
and keep the surface as nearly level as
convenient, Killing up is Away detri-
mental to the quality, and decreases
quantity and is very injurious to the
SOIL therefore is much worse than lost
labor and should be abandoned
Cultivation of the potato crop should
be completed when the bloom appears.
Few crops pay better per acre than the
potato, when proper attention is given
thereto, Very many carefully-written
articles on potato culture have been
published for the benefit of the potato
growers, but many have devoted too
much time and space to the mistaken
notion of cutting all seed potatoes into
small pieces, thereby teaching retro
gression instead of progression.
Too much care can not be given to Sc
lection of seed when the crop is taken
out of the ground, as it affords the best
opportunity of seeing the most perfect in
each hill. Time to plant in the United
States is the first half of the year, ac-
cording to locality. The best soil for
potatoes in the United States when
prepared is within one-half yard, just
below the old style, and very modern
depths of blowing for potatoes.
Growers of potatoes can well afford to
turn a new leaf, and make at least one
step in progress. Conrad Hartzell, in

In the garden the best plan of APP
plying commercial fertilizers is broad
casting. In the garden especially it is
difficult to get the soil too rich.
Plant the garden so as to have all

planting any kind of garden seed when
the soil is wet and cold.
Sheep should be kept in dry sheds;
they don't like to be too closely con-
fined. There should be yard that
they can be turned into when it is pleas

The garden spot should.be rich, and
it should be spaded or plowed deep. No
implement can supercede the rake in the
garden, especially for fine seeds. Haul
out manure for the garden, and use it
literally. If this is done early the frost
will largely assist in breaking the
Jumps, thus better enabling you to in
corporate it with the soil later on.
By beginning the season with a
vigorous attack on weeds as soon as
they appear there will be a great saving
of work in their eradication later on,
as well as reducing the labor the sue
ceeding year. Weeds must not only be
kept down, but must be entirely de-
stroyed. Seeding of weeds should never
be allowed and to be sure of this they
should be killed when they are young.
Experiments in growing potatoes
last year demonstrate that farmers can
double their crops by the use of proper
fertilizers and sufficiency of plant
food. Good cultivation is also neces-
sary, but with the extra expense at
tending the growth of potatoes in the
experiments made it is shown that the
large extra yield not only well rcpays
for the additional expense, but greatly
adds to the profit and leaves the soil in
better condition than before.

POTATO CULTURE.
Important Points to be Remembered in
Raising Potatoes.

Important Points to be Remembered in
Raising Potatoes.
Please permit a reply to an article in
a recent number of the Rural World, in
which the writer seemed to be confined
to a certain preparation of cutting seed
potatoes, and preparing for planting
the cuttings. No word of advice APP
peared in said article about prepare
ton of the seed-bed Qand) or cultiva-
ton thereof. Such articles might mis-
lead the inexperienced or even the or
binary potato grower, by causing such
to conclude that mutilating the seed,
and planting small pieces of potato,
was the whole of potato culture.
Much greater Importance attaches to
the preparation of the soil. Firstly,
deep and thorough blowing; when the
ground is dry enough to leave the land
in friable and nicely pulyeriZed con-
dition as it rolls from the mold board
Twelve inches deep does well for po-
tato culture, but as farmers and garden
ers do not control the seasons or amount
of rain, it is best to prepare for either
extreme of wet or dry, which is easily
done by deep blowing and thorough
draining.
Other preparation of soil is often nee
essary; fertility by enriching the soil
with grass crops and a manuring is
necessary in exhausted or overworked
soil. A knowledge of what is neces-
sary to apply is of incalculable
value; barn-yard and stable manure,
salt, lime, ashes, compost, guanno,
bone-dust, plaster of paris and phos-
pilates, together with rotation of crops,
other than potatoes year after year con-
secutively
When the seed bed is fully prepared,
have your seed ready. Remember that
cutting your potatoes for seed is de-
generacy; but you can produce more
pounds of potatoes from given guam
tity of seed by cutting than you can by
planting whole seed; and this fact is
alone the cause of the almost universal
deception, causing the almost universal
cutting of seed potatoes, or what is still
worse planting small potatoes
The very best potatoes should be Sc
| lected for seed, and those which are to
produce future seed should not be mu-
tilated, but planted whole, at the rate
of thirty to thirtyfive bushels per acre.
which, in well-prepared land, will yield
from five hundred to a thousand bush
els per acre, according to variety.
When good, large potatoes are plant
ed whole, only part of the eyes send up
stalks; therefore, too many tops will
not be the result, but in a few years by
this mode of potato culture" small po-
tatoes and few in hill will be thing
of the past. Good varieties can be
maintained and improved. The old
style of cutting seed potatoes to raise
seed from, always causes degeneracy
and small, worthless crops. Cutting is
quick economy, but sure degeneracy,
and when followed up few years com
pels change of variety, often at great
sacrifice from good to worthless va
rieties and small crops.

To Snhdne Weeds.

One important point in keeping n
farm clear from weeds is to see that
these germs are not imported in pur-
chased seeds. Weeds are often intro
duced by the farmers own animals.
Horses that have been fed at the town
stables, and cattle that have been al
lowed to forage on the highways, may
each be the means of bringing obnoX-
iousweeds onto the farm. For the hoed
crops clean cultivation is the antidote.
Cut the weeds off at the surface of the
ground at time when they are at their
best, that is when they are Towering,
and before the seed has grown sutli-
cient to terminate. This is the best
method of dealing with seeds after they
have become pests in meadow and pas
lures. In the latter sheep are very
efficient weed destroyers as thcy will
brouse closely many varietit that
cattle will not touch. In som, coun-
tries it is said that there are tie. is en-
tirely free from weeds, owing t. very
high cultivation and careful Sc ection
OF SeeuS ana IlanureS. OUCH results arc
not to be expected in this country, and
we shall continue to have weeds as
heretofore, but they can be kept in such
subsection as to reduce their injurious
effect to minimum. Where they serve
no better use, they at least give evil
dence of the soils fertility. Unless
rich ground is closely covered with use
full plants it is is quite certain to pro-
duce weeds. Nothing surpasses clover
for smothering weeds if sown thickly,
and stock is kept off from it after the
moving, so that some of the seed from
the second crop will be scattered, it
will gain complete possession of tho
field to the exclusion of the weeds.-N.
