Fall Rye For Potatoes,

A writer in The American Agricul-
turist says: Every fall after removing
the potatoes l plow the ground, using
care to turn under all the tops, and sow
it with rye, two bushels to tho acre.
The rye was tall and we'll headed out
when turned under the latter part Of
May and furnished a considerable mass
OF vegetable material to decompose in
the soil The result is always satisfac-
tory, the potatoes being of the best
quality and giving good yield, rather
increasing year by year without other
manure, while the heavy clay soil be-
came more friable and soon reached that
light and crnmbly condition SO desira-
Bile for root crops
In fact, it finally became SO full Of
decomposing vegetable matter that, be-
ing on a side hill, it would sometimes
gully with the violent summer showers,
and to avoid this trouble seeded it to
grass again. As matter of cenven-
ience and to keep the field smooth 1t
should be plowed toward the center in
the fall and plowed ont In the spring.
This will prevent an increasing uneven.
ness Of soil in back burrows and dead
furrows and will keep the field in good
condition.

Coide.t July For Years.

July wound up ito midsummer exls.
tenGe yesterday with day thut seem ed
to have been touched with the early breath
OF winter. The ten perature dropped
Tuesday night to 81, which 1t reached at
O'Clock In the morning, and from that
hour up To twilight II seemed to be under
going an effort to recover Itself. The
early hours OF the day were filled with
the bracing air Of autumn. and 1t was we'll
up to the fading hours of sunlight before
the temperature began to approach the
customary heat OF summer.
The highest point reached was one de-
gree above that heat n degrees. After
night fall the mperature again settled
down to tho vicinity OF SIS. making a light
oYerOoat welcome addition to summer
garments particularly on the hill on the
trolley cars.
The mean temperature yesterday was
81. and that was the lowesl mean tom.
perature for the 3l5t day OF July for
twenty-five years. The record WAS 10 de-
grees below tho normal temperature in
that period.
The day was fitting close to 4 month
that has been remarkable for cool mid
summer days. There were a few days in
July when the temperature climbed to
dizzy heights. and the torrld blaze of
heat became insulferable. But relief
came swiftly upon the heels of every
heated spell. and tho remarkably low tenn.
perhture OF many days during the mouth,
brought the mean down to 73. The deti'
cienoy OF heat for the month was SO de-
Rreee, an average of 2.B degrees Tor each
DAY.
The highest temperature during the
month was 05 degrees OH July 81. 1he
coolest day WAS yesterday The mean
temperature wns 70 degrees, which was
the lowest In 25 years, except the years
1884 and 1891 In each OF which the lowest
mean temperature wns n. Tho highest
mean temperature for the month or July
within the last 20 years was 81 IN 1857.
