Seed Pieces for Late Potatoes
Notes i'm Variety.

When planting late potatoes have
the seed pieces large. Experiments
show that cutting the potatoes To very
small sizes may be saving in the cost
of the seed. but the loss in yield is
proporiionately much greater than the
gain in seed. Economy is practiced
only when large pieces are used.
DO not keep too many varieties OF
stock. The farmer who has two or
three kinds OF sheep or swine will find
the cost increased. The object should
be to have one kind, and aim to make
it the hest.
Sheep are labor-saving stock, rs
they assist themselves, and cause but
little expense in labor of management.
They also perform labor for the farmer
in clearing off weeds and undesirable
grasses. as well rs manuriag the soil,
spreading their droppings evenly over
the surface Of the ground, and treading
them in with their feet. 1t is an old
expression that the fleet of the sheep
is gold To the farmer"
All crops have different values,
according TO the Uses to which they
may be applied. There is feeding
value and a manurial value. All that
is not consumed is returned to the soil
through the manure heap, and that
portion which is not digested is rem
dered suitable for plant food. thus As
sisting to produce the succeeding crop.
Vegetation ceases when the winter
appears, but live stock increases in
weight during all seasons. For that
reason live stock should be speciality
on all farms.
DO not overlook en>ilage One
acre of emsilage will enable the dairy
man to winter more cows than two
acres Of any other food on the farm in
proportion to cost of production.
Scarlet clover has failed ON the

A good COW, intended for large
yield of milk, should not be valued
for the amount of bee. she will make
at some future time. Keep her in full
flow of milk and she will produce
enough milk extra to compensate for
any loss from beet. The greatest loss
is in not feeding foods that increase
the yield. Variety is better than IA
steady diet Get all the milk possible
from COW during the days of her
usefulness by intelligent management,
and the future beef may be considered.

ton for the last fifteen days, were closed
to-day. The Aldermanic Finance Com

but that task Is performed for them in
their name by the clerks In the Tax
Department.
Hundreds OF writs of certiorari were
obtained in the courts by persons who
cain that their assessment is excessive.
The amount involved Is between $50, 900. 900
and s40,GC0OO. which would affect the tax
rate considerably should the city lose
the Cases, but as matter of fact few
of the suits are ever brought to trial.
The writs must be obtained within the
fifteen days during which the books are
open. and many of them are sworn out
merely to give the persons standing In
court In case they decide to press their
suits.
