of shipping is on the decline it becomes
to the interest of owners Of freight ships
to lose their vessels. His statistics of
over insurance were sensational, but for
the credit of human nature it must be
believed that the seaworthiness and safe
ty of ships are progressively more care

Growing Irish Potatoes in Kills.

Where the land lies level, and no reason
why it should not be plowed both ways, a
crop of potatoes can oftentimes be grown to
considerable advantage by cultivating them
in hills. The crop can be made altogether
without the use of the hoe, and where labor
is high and large area planted this con-
stitutes quite an item. Hill culture is only
to be advised on level land, and it is not
every grower who has number of acres
together Of this character. The largest
crop we ever grew was on four acres thus
planted, prepared and cultivated in the fol-
lowing manner: In December the land was
deeply furrowed at two and half feet
apart and during the month stable manure
was hauled out and applied to the furro VS., a
heaping shovelful to every three feet OF
row.
A mixture of 200 pounds kainit and 800
pounds superphosphate was sprinkled over
the stable manure. After the Danuring
was completed it was covered and the land
hedded out. Nothing more was done TO the
land On Feb. IA the land was cross
furrowed at a distance of two feet, and a
good-size cutting with from two to three
eyes was dropped at the intersection of this
furrow with the center of the bed. A sub
collier was run in this furrow before the sets
were dropped, and the sets we're pressed
firmly into the fresh soil by pressing with
the foot, the potatoes were covered with
diamond scooter and the middles thor
oughly broken.1l1Thr weeks afterward,
Just as a few of the potatoes were beginning
to make an appearance, harrow was run
along the bed, which completely exter-s
minated all the young weeds which had
terminated during the warm days Of Feb
ruary. Further cultivation was done with
q round shovel with scraper attachment
run through after every hard rain-one
furrow to the middle, first one way then the
other. The last two workings are done
with a sweep-one furrow both ways. The
potatoes we're dug at intervals during the
month Of June and up to July 10. The land
was by no means flrst-class land or specially
adapted to potatoes Under the usual sys-
tam of cultivation without manure 1t would
not have yielded more than twenty or
TWENTY-FIVE bushels Of corn. The aggregate
product of potatoes for the four acres was
l,24O bushels.
The crop was a little more tedious TO put
in but all hoeing was dispensed with. Con-
siderinR the nature of the soil this was a
very satisfactory crop, though we know
twice this yield has been made time aud
again IN other sections OF the country. and
even as much as 500 or 1000 bushels have
now and then been grown on one acre.
The crop Of corn that followed the pota-
toes was the finest late crop that we ever
saw The Blount Prolific was planted and
the corn used in the roasting ear during
September and October. BOSWELL

How About Tobacco.

The Southern CuItiUGtOr INDUCES in the
following wise remark on the question of
tobacco growing:
MANY farmers will turn their attention
to tobacco as "a substitute-to soma extent
for cotton, as a money crop. We reluctantly
admit that there is some hope In this as a
temporary resort, but we are afraid that by
the time we get our hands in so as to make
it a successful crop the cry of overproduc-
ton and low prices will be sounded. We
advise farmers to so slow on tobacco the
first year. 1t is a crop that requires much
more skill i'll planting, cultivating, hand
ling and curing than does cotton. 1t is a
cash product, and easy of sale; but 1t varies
greatly more in quality and corresponding
prices, Moreover 1t Is a far more exhaust
ing crop, requires heavier manuring. 1t is
said that Virginia tobacco farmers have
often wished that their climate was adapted
to cotton"
The very remark that we wanted to
make ourselves. We second the advice
given to go slow. It seems that the Vir-
ginians want to substitute cotton for tobac-
CO, and our Georgians to reverse the opera
ton. Some of the highly colored descrip-
tions of big profits made in Southern
Georgia may be discounted little taken, as
it were, cum grdno sails. With propei'
management it will be made profitable, we
have no doubt, to many. The problem is
not to be solved with tobacco, however. The
solution will be found chiefly to exist in
stock and grass as the cornerstone. Some

Profit from Poultry.

Along with the poultry raising every one
should run garden, for two reasons, re-
marks Annie C. Webster in the American
CttEtiUdtor. First, nearly half OF the feed
for the chickens in summer comes from the
garden, and second, the poultry manure
ought to be sufficient fertilizer for such
ga den OF ordinary soil. These are two
items generally overlooked in poultry rails
ing. 1t is cheaper to raise the food in your
own garden than co buy it. and over and
above all of this you will have nearly
enough to supply your own table with fresh
vegetables all through the whole summer.
The poultry need green leaves, green food,
roots, berries and seeds, and great amount
Of all of these can be gathered for them in
the garden. Where poultry is not kept
there is great deal of waste in the garden,
for the green tops OF vegetables, halfrgrown
roots and pods are always useless for the
table. The time spent in cultivating the
garden might legitimately be put down as
conscientious work for the poultry. At the
end of the year there would be so much saw
ing in the cost of food.
I hen the outlay for the garden would
simply be for seeds, tools, labor and inter-
est on the land. The poultry manure we
are going to make supply all the ferTilizinR
material for the soil. The poultry drop
pings seould be gathered at least weekly
from the hen roost or theyard and sprinkled
over with fine dust. The best plan is to
take every barrel of this mixture and dump
it into quantity Of muck gathered from
some pond near by. Mix the two up thor
oughly, and good fertilizer is prepared
both for Speeding over the ground and for
! dropping in the bills and rows. The poultry
manure furnishes plenty Of mineral and
heating elements, while the muck is rich in
heterogeneous material, decayed roots and
plants.
The danger in using poultry manure in
the drills and hills is that too much will be
nut in, 80 that the seeds will be burned up,
but when iteis thoroughly mixed with muck
this danger is partly removed.
After the garden crops have all been
gathered in the autumn the chlcke IS should
be turned into it for range They will dig
down in the soft, mellow ground and root
out all the worms and gruDs that may be
preparing for winters Information. They
will also snatch up the seeds of weeds and
foreign bodies and prepare the ground for
use the next spring. These items are seldom
taken into consideration by those writing
about poultry, but in the long run they
furnish no very small profit.
