Extra work ON Potato Ground.

In growing potato crop do not study
how little work you can put on it, urges
the American Cultivator, but rather how
much can be used proftably 1t is i'm
possible to grow the poorest crop very
cheaply. The blowing, seed, planting
and cultivating in the most slovenly and
cheapest ways are a considerable ex-
pense. AS a consequence, the poor crop
must always be grown at loss. In this
it differs from crops that grow themselves
and require little labor to harvest them.
With modern harvesting machinery,
grain crops, even though light, may be
produced at profit. We do not expect
that this will ever be true of potatoes.
The farmer who has managed up TO har-
vesting time to grow a crop of 300, 400 or
500 bushels per acre can harvest that crop
at less cost per bushel than any potato
digger worked by horse power can gather
an ordinary crop.
Yet, despite this lesson of everyday
experience, we see many farmers each
spring trying their best to hurry in the
potato crop with as little labor as posi-
BILE "They want to get the crop In early"
That is not d reason for hurry. 1t is the
best reason for beginning early. To do
the best the ground should be plowed and
top dressed with fine stable manure in the
fall or early winter. Then after winters
frost and melting SHOWS have mixed ma
nure and soil together the early crop may
be put in with far less fitting of the
ground than win be required on land not
so prepared. Yet even then, unless a sod
has been turned under twice, blowing, so
as more thoroughly to mix soil and ma
nure, will pay.
Instead of hurriedly ''marking out''
with an ordinary corn marker, go over
the piece with a small shovel plow that
will leave a furrow four or five inches
deep. Put the potato seed at the bottom
of this furrow. If the land is free from
stones a coverer may be used, ridging
loose soil over this deeply-covered set.
Unless the soil is in the best condition
and free from stones, however, it will
pay better to cover by hand carefully
placing fine soil, rather than stones or
Jumps, where the potato root first starts.
The root vi II reach ffne soil, though covered
with stone or surrounded by Jumps, but
the waste of time before it gets fairly
hold of the soil is loss that no after
careful cultivation can wholly make good.
So true is this that we once heard a good
farmer remark of piece that had been
planted poorly: 81 would not cultivate
that crop for all / can get from it if |
could have another piece of land with
liberty to prepare and plant it as it
should be-" In other words, through mis-
taken attempts to economic labor all that
had been done had been worse than
wasted

kinards, 5. c., June 6.-Editor Augusta
Evening Herald: In your paper Of recent
date ] see an account Of the cowhiding OF
one Frank S. Baldwin, shoe drummer,
for an insult offered Mrs j. A. Dominick.
The further and more correct statement
OF the facts of the case are as follows.
Frank :. Baldwin came 70 Kinards on
Saturday, May l3, with a view of selling
j A. Dominick a bill of shoes.
Mrs. Dominick being quite i'll at the
time, he proposed to stay over until Mon
day morning when Mr. Dominick would
have more leisure 10 select the goods
Frank ). Baldwin, being an msiuuatiug,
polished scOundrel, soon won the conf
dence of the family. On Monday morn
ing he left the breakfast table before the
other members of the family were
through and under pretcnse of bidding
Mrs Dominick adieu, took advantage of
her weak and PROSTATE condition and at
tempted to kiss her. She informed her
husband of the insult. He promptly ordered
the traitor from his premises and would
have shot him had not cooler heads pre-
vented W. d. Gary, w. G.. Weaver and
myself happened in few minutes after
and advised MIR. Dominick not to kiln him,
but to cowhide him severely. Frank S
Baldwin was ordered, at the mouth of a
double-barreled shotgun, to lie down over
the railroad track. He did so very nicely,
when ]. A Dominick cowhided him with
a buggy whip without mercy He was
then told to leave and never come to these
parts again.
His samples were not touched, nor were
there any preachers concerned in the mat

The fraud that has been attempted upon
dairymen for the past six months is still
on the go wherever one is found simple
enough to be taken in by it. Says the
journal of Agriculture: Several months
ago the agricultural papers of the country
received what purported to be report of
an Australian dairy convention, part of
the report being an Endorsement of an
article called "black pepsin," which, it
was claimed, when put in the cream
would result in double the amount of
butter The report of the convention
was arranged just ready for the press,
and was designed to catch-and did catch
many-editors who are glad to get ''copy''
for the paper, already prepared. The,
editor of this paper read the article and
deliberately consigned it to the waste
basket, believing that it was at least an
effort to get free advertising. While
great many editors refused, as we did, to
be imposed upon, il is lamentable fact

The Artiohoke and HOE

1t IS well to say word about articholes
occasionally to keep the farmers reminded
that there is such a vegetable, for when
stOck-raising shall have become decided
feature of our southern farming lit will
come to the front as one of the good
things of the farm. So long as we are not
engaged in the raising of hogs and cattle
we have very little use for it. Though it
makes an excellent pickle it cannot meet
with very general recognition simply on
that score 1t is prominently a vege-
table for the hog farm, and it is only
then that it can demonstrate its
value as a vegetable made for
a good purpose, and when filling the place
that was designed for it it is undoubtedly
good thing. Farmers of the northwest,
who depend more upon the hay crop than
anything else, value the artichoke pri1na-
rily as a good article of food that can be
cheaply raised, apd secondarily as pre-
ventive of hog cholera. 1t is claimed by
many, and doubtless it is true that when
they are used freely as food, cholera is
not apt to appear among the hogs.
On good land 300 to 400 bushels can be
easily raised. In one instance it was said
1,5O0 bushels has been raised on one acre.
II this is true it is q result not likely to be
obtained often even on the best of land
With fair treatment on good land it is
certainly one of the most productive
plants to be found and to the hog farmer
is very valuable, with yield of from two
to four bushels per acre.
No farmer is likely to depend upon any
one thing as a hog food, but he will aim
to have variety of good things. The
artichoke is one of these and along with
the chufa the amber sorghum and Ber-
muda grass and field peas will some day
develop the hog industry of the south to
something like the proportion it ought to
be-as favorably situated as we are for
raising hogs. On our low-priced lands,
and yet much of them as good as the $50
lands of the west, why can't we enter
into successful competition with any sec
ton of this country when we can have
shog pastures the year round Isn't il a
subject worth thinking about?

that the report appeared IN great many
papers, and as it contained the postofiice
address of the parties who had black
pepsm for sale, thousands of people sent
money for the article.
The next time "black pepsinn bobbed
up was in the form of an invitation to
butter makers to attend the worlds fair
on certain day when tests would be
made with black pepsin. The notice was
preceded by request asking editors to
please give notice. Part of the invita-
, ton was as follows: EVERY butter
maker is invited to attend the meeting at
the dairymen's department of the worlds
fair grounds, Chicago, Tuesday, June %,
1893, TO complete an organization of a
National Butter Makers Association.
June % will be devoted to making butter
with black pepsin."
The invitation dilates upon the great
value of black pepsin, teaspoonful of
which, added to each gallonof cream, will
more than double the yield of butter;
and states that the article may be OBJ
tanned from any druggist.
QBlack pepsin has been denounced as
fraud by all the leading dairy papers and
scientific dairymen. A given quantity of
milk contains only so much butter fat,
and black pepsin will not increase it. The
fact is, the parties who are working the
scheme virtually admit the fraud when
they say pepsin ''unites in the form of
butter, all the sugar, cheese and butter
that milk contains )" and they also claim
that it cannot be told from creamery but
ter. When lard, and tallow and oleo are
added to butter, 1t is a fraud to call the
compound butter. What is the difference
between that and the fraud of gathering
together into one mass the sugar, cheese,
butter fat, and all the solids of the milk,
and calling it butter Black pepsin may
cause all the solids of milk to adhere, but
it should be called by some other name
than butter, for it is not all butter Our
readers need to keep their eyes open on
the black pepsiu question

PEANUTS AND THEIR USES.
Every Part Has Value, and the Nut
Supports Several Industries.
rom the Baltimore American


The ''goober" industry of Norfolk is
unique. Here is little city in Virginia
that has become the greatest distributing
center of peanuts in the world. A peanut
is pretty small item, but an annual crop
of something like 5,OOO,O 600 bushels, worth
millions of dollars, makes a pretty big
item. The demand for COOLERS has
doubled within the last five years, and the
supply does not yet fill the growing de-
mand.
Few people know the curious uses to
which the goober has been put in trade
quite of late years No other single plant
raised in this country is used in so many
different ways. The Chinese say that
the cocoanut palm has as many useful
properties as there are days in the year
The gGober is not so universal as that
but it has as many valuable qualities
as there are days in the week, says the
New York independent. The solid part
of the nut is peculiarly nutritive, and
supplies fruit and food for many family
The vines make fine fodder, some say as
good as clover hay, while hogs fatten on
what is left in the fields after the crop
has been gathered,
If you grind the nut you get q sweet

purposes. This oil also enters largely into
the manufacture of the better grade Of
soaps. The kernels are roasted for coffee.
The roasted kernels are also used in the
manufacture of some kinds of chocolate.
The confectioner helps to ruin our d.
gestion in boyhood days with peanut
candy; the Georgia cook alone knows how
to make rich pastry Of pounded peanuts.
The artist, with paint brush silks and
satins, creates novel and beautiful peanut
ornaments; so that peanut dolls and other
curios may now be seen in the shop win
dows of New York, especially around the
holidays These are some of the ways in
which the leguminous nut is useful to US.
The goober is grown more or less in all
of the southern states. The bulk of our
supply comes from Virginia, North Caro-
lima and Georgia. Down south these edi-
BILE nuts are called "goobers" or 'pin-
ders" They are not known as peanuts
and the farmers would probably think
that you meant something else if you
called them by that name. Now that the
demand is increasing and good prices are
obtained, more growers are going into the
business every year. Few crops are easier
TO raise than the goober 1t is a hardy,
prolific plant, and requires no more care
and attention than crop of potatoes.

Better Prices,

It is believed by many stoclrmen who
are in position to know whereof they
speak, that on account Of the unusual
number of female stock sent to market
this year decided shortage will be the
result for the next two or three years,
says the American Farmer. The remark
able scarcity of hogs and the increased
consumption of fresh meat products will
doubtless have tendency to call for
greater supplies of both cattle and sheep.
This fact, some argue, will bring to mar
yet much of the stock
which is usually kept at
home for breeding purposesS and, there
fore, impoverish the producing. factor In a

Wood ashes make good fertilizer for
potatoes. They can be applied broadcast
over the surface when there is a full sup
ply or they can be applied in the hin with
benefit. When this plan is followed it is
well to prepare the soil to proper filth
for the seed-work out the rows, running
the burrows reasonably deep, and then
drop the ashes where they are wanted :;
by using garden trowel they can be
stirred into the soil and the seed dropped
upon them and covered This plan places
the fertilizer directly where it is needed
and where it can be used by the growing
plants.
