Fall-Grown Irish Potatoes.

Few of our people fully realize the
long keeping quality of our Fall-grown
Irish potatoes, We have now Sept. 1o)
at the Station farm potatoes raised in
the Fall of 1892 that are still sound.
They are now somewhat shriveled and
sprouted Of course, but the fact that
they are still sound and capable of
growing, is significant. If we can sue
coed in keeping over these Fan-grown
potatoes in perfect shape until, say the
last of July, and then use them for seed,
We feel sure that the late crop can be
made more certain one. Sometime
since. a gentleman in Virginia sent me
some of his Fall-grown potatoes he had
kept over for seed. They were smooth
and firm, with the eyes just fairly
started. He wrote me that his plan was
to keep them in cool, dark cellar as
late as possible, tat as soon as they
show signs of sprouting to remove them
at once to dry, light place, and spread
them out This keeps the eyes from
drawing out into long shoots, and they
start with a stout green growth but
elorgate very slowly. and the sprouts
ara so firm that they can easily be ham
died and planted IL July. We propose
to experiment in this direction. and h. pS
some OF our readers will do likewise,
and report the results of planting these
potatoes in comparison with the seed OF
the same season growth.-W. F. MAS

Grazing Rye and Barley.

How soon land may be grazed after
sown to rye and barley for this purpose
depends on uncertain conditions-the
main items of which are the weather
and state of fertility, and moisture of
the field in which the grains are sown.
If favorable weather accompanies and
follows the deposit of the seed in a rich
moist soil, it will be nicely vegetated
within week, and by one or two more
weeks might be lightly cropped if de-
sired. But if the ground is soft it would
be best to hold stock off until the plants
have filtered, and are covering the
ground with a green carpet, which will
take several weeks more. Four to six
weeks may be soon enough to begin
grazing, regard being made to growth
and best treatment Of the plants grazed.
How much grazing can be done on q
given area is quite as uncertain and de-
ponds on the same conditions. The
Judgment of the graZier in removing the
stock when the roots are likely to suffer
from exposure to sun or teeth by too
close cropping, or when by packing the
too wet soil harm may be done, is also
an important factor in this case. The
skill with which the stock is handled
and numbers apportioned to keep the
growth cut off enough not to out-grow
a good feeding height, and avoid cutting
too short and packing, will be the con-
trolling factor after grazing has begun.

: have been told by successful hog raiser
and farmer that cotton seed boiled with Gym:
and yoa tny
opinion. as I have lot of both and wish to save
corn. Z. W.. Enfield. N. c.
answered by F. E. Emery, Agriculturist Ex-
pertinent Station)
Cymlings, or squash, and Irish potaI
toes are both good food for hogs, and
the addition of cotton seed boiled in
would make a very desirable feed if the
cotton seed can be risked.
Cotton seed is not regarded as good
food for swine. We have fed cotton
seed meal to pig until sick, and there
was less growth than from a litter mate
without cotton seed meal. The pig re-
covered its health, but was stunted.
The Texas Experiment Station has
made some decisive experiments with
cotton seed fed with corn to pigs, and
in every case fatal results were found
after six or eight weeks feeding on the
cotton seed ration, but pigs that passed
the ten days, at which others sickened
and died, seemed to be not liable to at
tack. The cotton seed meal was fed
raw, boiled and roasted, with corn and
water as wanted. The boiled seed was
less dangerous than the other forms, as
indicated by lower death rate among
the pigs to which it was fed.
It may be that the bulk OF the food
you propose, or some counteracting
compound in it, may overcome the dan
gerous toxic agent of the cotton seed
Your friend doubtless speaks from ex-
perience, and if he has fed this ration
largely, you may have the assurance OF
his practice if none of his stock died
while so feeding. It will at least be
well for you to know that cotton seed is
dangerous, so as to be on the watch for
dangerous symptoms if you feed it.
But why feed an article in which dan
ger turks? You have other stock which
can use the cotton seed in rations and
it will do no harm. Then you can feed
corn to the pigs at q more profitable
rate of production of pork than you
could feed the cotton seed ration. Put
your corn with the cymlings and pota-
toes and you will be handsomely repaid
if you feed the pigs all they can con-
sumo in comforta BILE quarters.
We should prefer to grind the corn
and Elix .he meal into the boiled mash
OF cymlings and potatoes while hot, so
the meal would get moistened and the
starch grains cracked by the heat.
Wheat bran, middlings, or rice polish
might be used to grow the pigs, and
then the corn meal used Us fnisher to
fatten them.

Fruit Culture.

A bulletin (No. s2) is now ready for
mailing, on the subject of fruit culture
by the n. c. Agricultural Experiment
Station at Raleigh. It contains 14S
pages and is improved by ha, ing 81 cuts
to illustrate the various subjects. It
is very comprehensive in scope,
embracing two general heads. The
first includes propagation, planting
and culture of fruit trees and fruit
bearing plants, and the preservation
and shipping of fruits. The second
head embraces insects and diseases
affecting fruit trees, plants and fruit,
with remedies for their destruction.
The publication is copiously illus
trated with cuts showing how to graft
and propagate fruit trees and vines and
train and prune them; also cuts Of insects
and how diseases effect them, together
with appliances to destroy these enc
mics. 1t is manual for growing fruit
trees and keeping them, as well as
for the care of fruits in reference to
gathering, packing, shipping, drying,
preserving, and canning them. Varie
ties of fruits are described, as we'll as
those most suitable to various sections
of North Carolina.
This publication will be sent free to
all residents of the State who apply,
and to outsiders who send 10 cents in
stamps. Apply to DR.. H. B. Battle,

The n. O. Agricult ural Experiment
Station at Raleigh,
Offars to Send Its Bulletins Free To All
Farmers in North Carolina
Who Request Them.

The Experiment Station Has No Money
To throw away. So if you are not 60
ing to read carefully the bulletins and
other publications, do not ask for them.
These publications costs great deal OF
money, and the Station can afford only
to put them where they will be appre-
ciated. If you really desire to receive
and read and profit by them, you will
be cheerfully supplied with any partic-
ular past bulletin, and all future issues,
if you write to DR.. H. B. Battle, Direc-
tor, Raleigh, n. c., for them.
As An Example
of the cost of some of Experiment Sta
ton bulletins, let us look at Bulletin 90,
1.-The Culture of Orchard and Garden
Fruits" which is just received from the
printers, and is ready for issue now.
There are 14s pages-the largest bulle-
tin the Station has yet published. Bull
letin 10, 1.-The Best Agricultural
Grasses" is the next in point of size,
and has 100 pages. The edition of No.
% is 1850 copies. The paper necessary
to print this number is 143 1-2 reams,

tons If this paper were spread on the
ground one thickness, it would cover
an area of 1885 square yards, or about

lance of 26s.25O yards, or 1873 miles-or
from Raleigh to Richmond, Va, in q
straight line.
The Depth to Plant Wheat.
The result of an experiment made by
the n. c. Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton at Raleigh to test the best depth to
plant wheat is as follows: The average
yield per acre when plated at a depth Of
two inches was 24.5 bushels; planted
three inches deep, it was 32.1 bushels
per acre; four inches, 23.7 bushels per
acre. 1t will be seen, therefore, that
the decided preference lay with the
three inch planting. In this test, the
seed was planted very late, on the 24th
December, after turnips had been taken
off the land. The depth of planting
was carefully gagged by dibble. The
best stand on the following 2sth March
was noted on the shallow planting, and
the more scattering stand on the deep
est planting, though the plants on these
last were almost as large and vigorous
as the others. It is probable that with
an earlier sowing the result of the deep
est planting would have been more
favorable.

cotton seed meal would increase the yield OF

B., Brewers Mills. N. G.
Answered by H. B. Battle, Director North
Carolina Experiment Station:
Iwould advise the use of the following
mixture for your land for wheat:
Acid Phosphate 1000 lbs.
Cotton seed meal 700 6
KANT 800
would not use less than 800 lbs. of
this mixture per acre. 1have employed
the most common of the fertilizing ma
terials for this mixture, as being more
convenient to procure them. A pam
phlet on the subject of 'Composts" sent
by this mail will give other formulas.
A previous crop of cow-pea vines
plowed in before wheat has been sown
is of great value in adding fertility to
the soil. Bulletin No. 81, which is sent
you, describes their effect.

LIGHTNING THAT LIKED BEEF.

The Lightning that manifested itself in
Weybridge on Tuesday evening during
the progress of the storm seemed to have
a strong appetite for beef.
At Mr.. Ira j. Twitchell's, in the north
east part of the town, it struck and killed
a COW that a man had but a moment
before finished milking. 1t also set the
barn on fire, and it was consumed.
Mr.. Dennis McCue, who lives near
Dea. James, was driving his cows up
from the pasture when the lightnin g
struck and killed one of them. The
animal was not more than six feet from
the old gentleman, who was knocked
down and rendered insensible by the
shock. He recovered after a little, and
is none the worse for his experience.
Our Weybridge correspondent writes
of the fire at Mr.. Twitchell's: A barn
at Ira j. Twitchell's was struck by light
ming during the storm, and was burned.
Mr.. Twitchell and his man, Henry
White, were milking in shed attached
to the barn and the latter had just risen
from his stool beside one of the COWS,
when she was struck by the lightning
and killed. 1t was very narrow es.
cape for both the men. The barn was
not especially valuable, but the sheds
were better. There was some insurance
on the structures. The other buildings
the dwelling, the horse barn and other
sheds-escaped destruction, the wind
being favorable. 1t is thought the
heaviest part of the storm passed to the
south and west of here.

Lamentable as they were, there is one
thing about the Orwell failures that is
cause for rejoicing, and that is that there
was no crookedness about them. So
far as has yet been shown. these dfsas-
ters did not result from dishonesty on
the part of anybody. In this respect
they present an agreeable contrast to
some of the western financial wrecks of
recent date. The Northwestern Guar
anty Loan association of Minneapolis,
which is reported to have had half a
million dollars of Vermont money,
makes such showing as to lead the
Boston journal to remark that "the
more its affairs are Investigated the
more ground does there appear for the
suspicion that its misfortunes are attri-
butable to financial crookedness as well
as to stringency in the money market"

1t appears to be the unanimous as
well as the emphatic opinion of return
ing pilgrims from the Worlds fair that
the Vermont building is disgrace to
the State. They say it looks small and
cheap. 1t is probably only another con-

thing cannot be had for nothing, and that
it is better to have nothing than to attempt
to build anything unless you have suf-

THE NEW CHURCH AND ITS BUILDING.
The church dedicated yesterday stands
mainly upon the site of the one burned
on the afternoon of Saturday, Jan. 30,
1892. That structure was of wood, err
ected IN the summer of 1887 and dedlca-

year. 1t cost about $4,000. In 1880 it
was repaired throughout and refurnished
at cost of about $2S00.
The insurance on the old church, $500,
was paid in full. On the Monday after
the fire the quarterly conference of the
church met, and 1t was resolved to at
