potash and nitrate of soda were applied
singly and two by two in full rations OF
at ratios of 1924, so and 240 pounds per
acre, respectively, and each material in
one-half rations and II rations with one
ration of each of the others. Two plats
received gypsum. The yields of the
straw and grain are tabulated. The re-
suits may be summarized as follows:
The application of nitrogen, potash OF
phosphoric acid alone resulted in no in
creased yield.
The application of two of the elements
in combination gave some increase in
yield, provided phosphoric acid was in
the combination.
Potash increased yield somewhat, pro
vided phosphoric acid was present.
The result with nitrogen was some

with phosphoric acid. but when all three
elements were present an increase of nj.
trogen was of no advantage.
Phosphoric acid each time 1t was ap-
piled Except when alone) gave decided
increase to crop, and the II ration gave

Aprionlture Neus and Note..

According to the department returns
wool growers in the United States are
increasing the average weight of fleece
on sheep The average fleece weighs 5.s
pounds, an increase of about three-quar-
tiers pound. The range is from 2.e
pounds in North Carolina to pounds in
Wyoming.
The prospect is for an apple crop be-
low an average again.
Important improvements are in prog
ress at the New York state fair grounds,
Syracuse.
A new forage plant is reported from
Japan. 1t is said to grow fast and bear
large leaves, making two crops in one
year. This new plant is being tried in
France, where it promises well.
A new enemy to the potato bug has
been found in several counties in New
York. 1t is about twice as long as the
potato beetle, but has thinner body.
It stings the potato beetle Larvae and
soon destroys their life.
Estimates made by the Mark Lane
Express on the English and French wheat
crops indicate that both the United King
dom and France will have to be much
larger purchasers than usual of wheat.
Hay having been listed ON the New
York Stock Exchange, it may be specu-
lated in now.
The South American trade requires
immense implements in the way Of steam
plows, harvesters, etc.
A company has been formed in Gin
cinnati for the purpose of baling hay for
shipment to France.

An expert can dig half an acre even Of
drilled potatoes in 10 hours if the crop
is clean. But ordinary men would be
about three days digging an acre. The
cost of this amount of labor, including
board, would be about 81. There are
more farmers who get their potatoes dug
at a greater cost per acre than this than
there are who pay less. Thus writes
Mr.. T. b. Terry of Ohio, who has been
very successful in potato farming. For
three years past he has used a digger
which cost 800. Hand labor has been
entirely dispensed with except at the
ends of the field and when digging I'M
ripe potatoes for the market. About an
hours work in the morning and as much
more after dinner would dig as many
potatoes rs his help would pick up.
With the conditions all just right, he
has dug an acre in two hours, but ordi-
narily it would take about three.
Instead of paying out about $50 sea-
son for extra help to dig his crop, the
machine now does 1t, and of course he
pockets the $50. This is more than lit
orally true now, for Of course the ma
chine has more than saved its first cost.
Again, he can rush business, putting all
the help at picking up. He is quite in
dependent. also. for any one can pick up.

A Detached Building That May Be Cheap

In country towns and villages there is
a considerable class of small poultry
growers, who, being renters and there
fore liable to moving about from one
place to another, require poultry houses
that may be transferred along with other
goods and chattels without great ex-
pense. For the benefit of this class is
here given an illustrated description
of plan of house recommended by the
editor of Farm Poultry as suited to the
requirements Of renters. He says:
We give the plan of house such as we
should build were we on rented place,
or, if we adopted the "colony plan" of
having detached houses set $50 feet apart
over the fields, with the fowls having
free range. This house we should build

BIcvo,es Not Available For war.

The use of the bicycle for military
purposes, after having developed with
great rapidity in France, has suddenly
received check. General Loizillon,
the minister of war, has, it appears, little
faith in it. He has issued an order that
the cyclist corps are only to be used on
prepared ground.
In time of war, he says, their use,
even If no account is taken of the habili-
ty of the machines to break, is likely to-
cause serious miscalculations, and they
can only rarely be substituted for mem
on horseback. The cyclists henceforth,
therefore, or until some successor to
General Loizillon more favorable to
them is appointed, will be reserved, by
his instructions, for garrison duty, for
the great maneuvers and in time of war
for certain easy communications at the
rear of the forces.-London News.

There is a great deal said of the cost
of laying up stone walls for farm fences
and keeping them in good order, but it
is principally baseless notion. l can

are as good as ever today. The cost of

They Mako Auroras to Order.

Artificial miniature auroras of the
borealis variety have been produced by
both De la Rive, the French savant, and
Lenstrom, the Swedish astronomer. In
Professor Lenstroms experiments,
which were made in Finland, the peak of
a high mountain was surrounded with a
coil of wire, pointed at intervals with
tin nibs. The wire was then charged
with electricity, whereupon brilliant
aurora appeared above the mountain, in
which spectroscopic analysis revealed

The French language, 1t appears, is
better adapted to the purpose of the tele-
phone than the English. It is stated that
the large number of sibilant or hiss syl-

Some English words are especially diff
cult Of transmission by telephone. The

HARVESTING POTATOES.

Lifting the Tubers by Machinery-Two Dis
tinot Methods Worked Up by Inventors.
The wholesale production of potatoes
has demanded machinery for simplify
ing the original methods of planting,
hoeing and digging by hand. This de-
mand has been met by our inventors.
The potato planter does the work of 10
good men dropping by hand. Any of
the good sulky cultivators or light har-
rows will enable farmer to sit on
comfortable seat and let his horses do
the hoeing for him. There are machines
that will throw poisoned water on six
rows at time as fast as team will
walk to protect from potato bugs. The
hardest problem has been to produce
digger that will not only throw the tu
bers out of the soil, but screen or lift
them from the earth as well.
Two distinct methods have been
worked up by inventors. One is repre-
scented by large, heavy complicated

The ideal condition with many per
sons is to have the garden unfenced,
permitting approach from all sides with
horse and cultivator to assist in the cul-
tivation of the growing crops and in the
subduing of weeds. But a fenced gar
den is sometimes made imperative by
circumstances over which the owner has
no control, the circumstances" being in
the nature of his neighbors' cows, pigs,
fowls or other animals that are liable on
occasions to be at large to the injury of
gardens and other cultivated places.
The owners own animals, even when
excellent care is taken, may sometimes
escape from their allotted limits and in
an hour nearly ruin garden.

Experiments made by Editor Carman
of The Rural New Yorker seem to indi-

necessary in digging our crop to expose
the hills separately, and then before har-
vesting go through and select our seed
potatoes from those hills which show the
most abundant crop.
