Kentucky potato growers have, they
think, made the discover that by plant
ing their first crop potatoes in July
or August a second crop is produced,
which. though nripe at harvesting
time. will if planted in the spring,
produce better crops than the seed
grown and fully matured early in the
season. We do not doubt that this is
an improvement for southern potato
growers, whose season is long enough
TO ripen the first crop in time to plant
d second. Some twelve years ago we
tried this experiment in a northern
latitude but found that by the last OF
Tune. when we wanted to plant our
second crop, the first were not ripe
enough to produce sprouts until 1t had
been dried two or three weeks. Hence
we were Obliged to save the previous
years potatoes until the following mid.
summer and then plant them after re,
peatedly sprouting them. OF course
the crop planted with this debilitated
seed was nearly a failure, but we
saved and planted the seed which it
grew and it produced a large crop. 1t
Is a rule among potato growers that
the varieties which ripen latest are the
best yielders, and if very early varie-
ties are wished for seed it must be
gown from seed planted very late the
previous year. The advantage of hay
ing unripe potatoes for seed is that the
unripe potato is drying out its excess
Of moisture while the ripe tuber is sap

Science points out deficiencies in sta
ble manure, and in some cases posi-
lively bad results have come from its
use on crops like potatoes and fruit
subject to attacks Of fungus diseases.
For fruit, especially applications of
concentrated mineral manures in large
amounts have proven to be paying in
yestments. Stable manure is generally
poor in potash and phosphate, and It's
decay in the soil promotes the late
growth of wood and leaf that is not
desirable. But there are other uses of
stable manure where it never fails to
help. One of these is for corn, If APP
piled early enough so that ec,ne part
Of it is mixed with the soil by rains
before the land is plowed Another,
and perhaps the best use of stable
manure, is top dressing for young
clover. If applied before the seed is
sown, or directly afterwards, it seldom
fails to give a COOL catch, and by max
ing a larger clover growth it enrichcs
the land for the next blowing more
than a Ike amount of manure can do
applied in any other way.-American
Cultiyator.

The American Agrlculmrlst for
March has m exhaustive review Of the
wheat market. showing that in all
probability the price Of this staple has
reached its lowest point.
The visible supply Of wheat in Amer
lea is less than it was a year ago at
this time. The supply In the United
Kingdom. in Europe and afloat for
Europe, is only 100000 bushels great
er, Will ethe worlds available stock Of
wheat was 49, 900, 900 bushels on Feb
ruary l, or 100000 bushels more than
at the same date year ago. Then
Chicago and Liverpool prices were, r.
spectively, seycnty-Gve and eighty-ore
cents a bushel.
The population both Of this country
and Europe is much larger than the
100000 increase i'm visible supply Will
furnish food for. We need for home
use 100000 to 100000 bushels OF
wheat additional each year. and vet
in this country we have less wheat IN
sight than a year ago There Is also
probably less wheat IN farmers hands,
for, owing to its low price, more wheat
has been used for stock feed during
the past few months than ever before.
