shoe or hoe. The rear should be spread
apart, the two being first riveted to-
gether, so as to allow the potato to pass
through to the ground This shoe is sup
ported by four braces riveted to the shoe
and bolted on opposite sides of the
frame, thus allowing it to swing. One
Of the rear braces extends above the
frame, thus making lever with which
the dropper, who sits at the rear, can
raise the shoe whenever desired. The
chain, which can be taken up or let out
at will, pulls the shoe and also regulates
the depth of planting, as the farther
back it comes-until braces are at right
angles with frame-the deeper it will
plant.
The driver sits on the box, which
should hold at least one bushel The box
is raised above the axle, thus allowing
room for the drivers feet and making it
easier dropping. A board is nailed i'll
the box just above the hole thus caus-
ing the potatoes to work down in front
and not roll out behind. The tube is
made i'll two sections, working like a
telescope in case the depth is changed.
1t can be made of stiff cloth and laced
together at the joint. The marker is
adjustable and can be changed to either
side without getting off.
The plan for getting the potatoes the
proper distance apart is quite simple
also. A short piece of fence wire with a
ring bent on each end is bent down ov =

through the rings and between the two
cogs, then the tap put on tight. The

TEMPERAMENT AND BREEDING.

Recently some thoughtful writer's on
the turf press have been giving their
experience on this matter. The London
Live Stock journal has this to say on the
same subject: "ln breeding horses
there are other things to be considered
besides the appearance aud performance
of sire and dam. One of the most i'm
portant of these is temperament.
vicious and i'll tempered mare, hatever
her good points may be, should never be
retained for breeding purposes. Moral
qualities are as surely transmitted to
descendants as physical features. y
vicious brood mare should at all times be
rejected DE Curnieu, a French author
ity, rightly says, NO mare should be
used as brool mare unless she is per-
fectly well known If she has any vice,
it will most probably be perpetuated. and
in an augmented form, especially If the
sire has defects of kindred nature. 1t
Is, of course, equally as important that
the sire should be free from wee, as that
difficult to ascertain the temper of the
stallion, whether confined to his own
stable or travelling the country, unless
he has displayed his bad temper in pub
lie, the greater the Importance of breed
ing only from such mares as are not
actually vicious thense YES, and that
have not even an hereditary faint of
potential waywardness and ill-temper in
their constitution. Although the pro-
duce of vicious mare, if they have good
looks and free action to commend them,
may be sold at high prices as unbroken
colts, no one should attempt to breed
horses for his own use from such an
animal. On the whole, it is good policy
never to breed from such mares"

Broodincss may be induced, though
not compelled. Domestic fowls can at
this late day have trace of their wild
instinct. A wild fowl becomes broody
when she has nest full of eggs. So, to
a certain extent, does domesticated
fowl. To get a broody hen, then, in the
early part of the season supply the nests
with full clutch of nice, clean china
eggs All eggs laid from day to day may
be gathered as usual, and yet the effect
upon the visual organs of the hen will
remain the same The result will be
that before long the hen will become
possessed of the idea that she wants to
sit, and the breeders object will be az
tanned. After one OF two hens have be-
come broody the nests should be robbed
and only the regulation single egg left
in each A laying hen has an affection
for nest full of eggs, the sight of
which raises instincts of. maternity.
Should the full clutch of nest eggs be
left too long the breeder may defeat his
purpose by having all his hens anxious
to sit at the same time. But if this plan
is carried out carefully he may, and
probably will, have sitting hens when
he most needs them, says The Poultry
World

The Imrortanee of POTASH.

Every now and then some one hobs up
to claim that soda will take the place of
potash in fertilizers. Rural New Yorker
says: considerable damage is done by
such claims, because farmers are led to
think they can thus save the great differ
ence in price between soda and potash
If this claim were true, nitrate of soda
would be the most valuable fertilizer
material in the world. As matter of
fact nitrate of potash is not only more
costly, but far more effective, as any
one can tell by testing it beside nitrate
of soda Farmers make great mistake
in neglecting to use potash. "

NEW WAY TO BUSH PEAS.

bush. Country Gentleman suggests that
a better plan is to stretch length of
narrow poultry netting along the row,
holding it firmly in position by stout
stakes. The netting need not be wide,
as it can be placed six or eight inches
above the soil, the young peas being able
to catch onto it at that height. Such
netting in rolls of 100 feet is but little
more than one-half IA cent per square
foot, and if kept housed when not in use
it will last a score of years. Ones
garden will look much neater for its use,
while the peas can be picked from such
a support with much more ease than
from the old style bush support.

These trade values are the average
prices at which III the six months pre-
ceding March the respective ingredients
could be bought for retail at cash in
Boston, New York and Philadelphia in
raw materials, which are the regular
source of supply. They also correspond
to the average wholesale prices for the
six months ending March 1, plus about
20 per cent in case of goods for which
we have wholesale quotations.
The valuations obtained by the use of
the above figures will be found to agree
fairly with the average retail price at
the large markets of standard raw ma
terials, such as sulphate of ammonia,
nitrate of soda, dried blood, muriate of
potash, azotine, ammoniate, dried
ground fish, ground South Carolina rock
and plain sugar phosphate.
The "valuation'' of fertilizer consists
i'll calculating the retail trade value or
cash cost at trade centers-in raw ma
terials of good quality-of an amount of
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash
equal to thai contained in one ton of the
fertilizer. To obtain the valuation of a
fertilizer we multiply the pounds per
ton of nitrogen, etc, by the trade value
per pound. We thus get the values per
ton of the several ingredients, and add
ing them together we obtain the total
valuation per ton.
In most cases the valuation of the
ingredients in superphosphates and spe-
Gals falls below the retail cash price
charged for these goods at the factory.
The difference between the two figures
represents the manufacturers charges
for converting raw materials into man
ufactured articles and selling them.
These charges are for grinding and mix
ing, bagging or barreling, storage com.
mission to agents and dealers, interest
on investment and finally profits If the
purchaser buys on credit, the price OF
the fertilizer is commonly made to cover
interest.
