For the Month of Nay.

This month is the time to put in the
main crop of sweet potatoes, slips planted
in April rarely doing any better than
those set in May and June, while costing
considerably more labor in the cultivation
| The later planted slips produce tubers OF
more uniform size-although possibly
smaller-smoother outline, and of better
keeping qualities. r.
Most farmers have too narrow rows,
and plant the slips too close in the row.
Our experience favor rows four feet wide
and the plants two feet apart. The re-
suits at the Experiment Station last year
indicate that the potatoes planted four by
two gave better yield than any closer
distance
The plants should be set in freshly
plowed land. We would prefer to throw
up fresh beds and plant without waiting
for rain, rather than wait an indefinite
time, and then plant in the over wet soil:
Forage crops Of various kinds may still
be planted, remembering that the later
such crops are planted the better should
be the preparation and the more liberal
the fertiizing. AS fast as early barley
and rye grazing or soiling lots are ready
for the plow again they may be sown 10
advantage either in German millet or
some other quick growing hay or green
forage plant, but crop ofpea vines should
occupy the ground after the early sum-
mer crops are off. ....
The cow pea is one of those plants that
will yield large and valuable crop, and
yet leave the land richer than it was
before.
Pea vines cut when blooming freely,
and well cured, make hay that is equal
to clover hay. 1t comes nearer being
both corn and fodder than any other one
product of our farmers. Now is the time
to commence planting them, and they
may be planted up to July Is, but with
rapidly diminishing results if deferred
later than July l. The COW pea is the one
plant on which we can safely rely among
those known as nitrogen gatherers.
1t can get the nitrogen out of the air
and through its roots store it up in stems,
leaves and roots. You may convert all
that is above the ground into hay, while
the roots and stubble and fallen leaves
will supply heterogeneous pabulum for
succeeding crop Of small grain, corn, tobac-
co or cotton.
May is the main campaigning month in
the warfare against grass and weeds. If
farmer has clean fields, and good stand
of cotton on the first day of June, having
fertilized we'll, he is pretty certain to
realize a fair crop if the seasons be at all
vorable.-Southern Cultivator.

D@r Attention has recently been di-
rected to the fact that the addition of small
quantities of sugar or molasses to lime
mortar increases not only it's hardness but
its tenacity. A Vienna technical paper
highly recommends the use of these sub
stances, since they give common lime
mortar a strength equal to cement.

BUSINESS OF THE MONTH.
The Wyoming DIVISION Did Brisk Busi-
nsss During Novem Der.

The business OF the Wyoming division
of the Union Pacific which includes the
main line from Cheyenne to Ogden, the
Cheyenne & Northern and the Park City
branch, during the month of November
amounted to II. 643 cars. This does not
include any through traffic or any freight
consigned to Wyoming and Utah points
from any place off the division. In other
words it embraces simply the business
which originated on this division alone.
OF course the largest proportion of this
consisted OF coal, 4,525 cars having been
loaded for the company and 4.649 cars for
commercial uses. From Park City alone
we're shipped 2sS cars of ore. OF mer-
chandise there were loaded $50 cars, cat
tie and horses AIS cars, sheep l24 and
III. The total number OF cars
loaded was about 200 more than last
month but less than September. the big
gest month. which showed a record Of l2,-

new YORK engineering hecOrd.l
When the question of increasing the
water supply of New York was being ac-
lively discussed some eight years ago, and
a proposition was made BY private parties
to deliver to New York water from the
Ramapo region, which is in New York
state, on the west side OF the Hudson
river. by means of pipes across that river,
New Jersey took steps to prevent such a
diversion OF the Ramapc water. because,
like in the Wyoming case, the natural
flow was through the state. A commits
sion was created to resist, whenever &C.
casion arose. any such attempt, by ap.
peal to the United States supreme cour
if necessary. The result OF such an ap
peal, 1t seems reasonable to suppose
would be in favor of the contestjng state
though in the case cited the matter wa:
dropped and the issue avoided.

The storm which PLAYED an intermittent
engagement in this vicinity, beginning
with Sunday night last and ending yes
terday, was in some respects a remarkable
one. The snow came 10 great quantities,
but the atmosphere remained SO warm
that the fakes melted at times as fast as
they fell, and at others left a soft yielding
mat upon the ground. On Monday
night there was fully seven inches Of
snow on a level. For SIX days it raineC

they could stand it no longer, and when
the train pulled into Evanston they made
their presence known to the trainmen and
begged to be let out. They were helped
into the little oil room across from the

A private telegram was received yester
day from,Mr. Burgitt, Z. A. Reeds bust
ness partner at Ogden. in which it was
stated that Reed and his wife had started
for California. Reed is daft on the
subject of the Cheyenne national and
believed that be could make an immense
amount OF money by buying up the
certificates of deposit at so cents on the
dollar. In this he was doubtless correct,
but as he had failed to supply himself
with the money to do it his scheme could
scarcely work to as satisfactory a con-
as he had anticipated.
