Potato Experiments.

Results gained from experiments with
Irish potatoes mt the Louisiana station
and reported on 10y J. q. Lee give some
interesting conclusions. In an expert
ment 10 test size Of seed seven varieties
of large and medium sized potatoes were
used for seed. bcinS planted whole and
cut Ia two or more eyes and to one eye.
The results for each variety from one
kind of seed are tabulated. The pro-
ductivc results obtained concur with
those of previous years: the larger the
seed planted the greater the yield. The
economical results are. however, differ
ent. and calculating for this point sug-
gest that. planting on large scale, it is
better To cut not to more than four eyes

Homemade Tools with the Assistance Of
which Farmers Can Make n Neat Job.
When farmer undertakes n job of
wire fence building. whether of smooth
or barbed irctrxcepting the buckthorn).
the difficulty of making II neat and strong
splice comes to the front every time.
Linemcn working for telegraph compa-
nics always make neat and strong
splice. and do il easily with the clamping
pincerS that have two grooves i'll their
jaws. near together. in which the ends of
the wires 10 he spliccd are placed and sc-
curcly held. The ends of the wires pro-
iecting on each side of this handy wise
are. by the use Of another pair of pinchcrs.
wound tightly around the main wire. the
ncatncss of the job depending To a con-
siderable extent on the skill of the opor-
ator. \ farmer cannot afford to huy and
keep these pinchcrs. because the amount
of wire splicing he has Ia do will not jus
tify the outlay. If they are wanted by
the farmer. the difficulty is in getting
them. So the following from CORE
spondcnt of Ohio Farmer will he vel
come Ia many. He says:
What little splicing we have had 10 do
we have done with two small tools that
cost ms bui twenty cents to get made. and
should. we think lc made for less than
that. From our scrapbox Of iron and steel
wesclcctel piece Of steel clthrce-sixteenths
of an inch thick hy one inch wide. From
this the blacksmith cut two pieces. five
and four inches long. One end of the
longer piece he drew out. making the
drawn ont part "nc-half inch wide and
| ! inches in length. Onc-half of this he
turned back. making a slot large enough
To admit No. wire. as this is the size
we use principally III building fence. We
place the ends Of the wire To he spliced
III this slot. passing them on each side as
far rs may l@ necessary. Bend the ends
at right angles 10 the main wire. This
keeps them from slil .'ing ont of the tool.
In one end of the other piece of steel
we have Il hole punched large enough To
admit the size wire to he used: if re-
quircd. two or three holes of different
sizes can bc made. Slip this tool over
one end. as We have it secured in our
wise. and turn il about the main wire.
The friction caused i'll bending and slip
ping through this hole will make it wind
down tight Ia the main wire The Sec
ond end should hc turned in the opposite
direction from the first. In this manner
we are able 10 make neat and strong
splice. W. use the same tools To splice
l,arbed wire. and found they answered
the purpose much better than two pairs
of pinchcrS. The slot or loop in the first
named teol. while made 10 admit a No. 9
wire. can bc used for smaller numbers;
however. am open loop could bc turned
on each end of the tool. giving two sizes.
which would be- better and make the wire
easier to handle in making the splice.
These are the cheapest appliances for this
purpose that we have knowledge of. II
mislaid or lost. the loss is trifling.
