POTATO GROWING.

POTATO GROWING.
Potato growing is attracting more
attention every year, as farmers real
ize that an acre of potatoes can be
grown at about the same expenditure
of time and labor as an acre of corn,
while the returns from the two are
very different, for potatoes have
brought fair returns within the past
two or three years, and the profit
would be still greater if proper cul-
ture and fertilization were supplied.
Many farmers plant potatoes on the
poorest sections of their farms and are
disappointed at obtaining small yields
of inferior tubers. How could it be
otherwise, when the soil is lacking in
the necessary plant food for the crop?
There is no doubt that when the soil is
adapted to its growth, the potato is a
profitable crop for the one who bestows
on it experience, care and hard work.
There is little need of hand labor in
raising potatoes. With modern tools
the planting, cultivating and harvest
ing can be done by machinery. The
latter is responsible also. for largely
increasing the acreage. Seed tubers
should be sound and not much sprout-
ed to be in the best condition for
planting. 1t is we'll to place them in
warmth and sunlight for week be-
fore cutting them for seed. The
single eye cutting has not SO many ad-
vocates as formerly, and it is general
ly conceded that the safest plan is to
plant fair-slzed piece. The con-
tinued use of small potatoes does not
give good results. 1t is important
that the variety be the best as regards
both yield and quality. Old "run
out" sorts do not pay.
The distance between the rows de.
pends upon the variety of potato.
Those which produce large tops should
be planted in rows about three feet
apart, while the small top varieties
may be planted about two and half
feet distant. The object is to have a
complete shading OF the ground. This
is of particular Importance in II dry
season. Four inches is about the best
depth for planting. This avoids much
hilling and yet allows for easy harvest
ing, The preparation of the seed bed
should be as thorough rs possible.
Afterwards frequent, shallow, level
culture is best. A potato field should
be kept clean from the time of plant
ing to the harvesting of the crop.
Many potato fields are allowed to be-
come so overrun with weeds as to
make the cost of harvesting more than
all other labor given during the sea.
son. Keep the weeds down from the
start, and the tuhers will be larger
and tho yield heavier. Potatoes are
best not to be dug until fully ripe,
and care should be taken to prevent
exposure to the un.-New Yorl

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Have any of your fowls white, O.
scaly legs? Attend to them.
Now get some grass for your hens
Throw in sod occasionally and they
will thank you.
Those who have tried both claim
that there is very little difference, none
in fact, between white and brown Leg
horns, except in color.
Get lot of old plaster that some
body has torn from wall, ind dump
in your hen park. The fowls will soop
grind it up into egg shells.
1t is possible to build wire netting
fence high enough to retain brown
Leghorns. We have demonstrated it,
though we always thought it impossi-
BILE before.
You can now dig up the ground in
your hen park, and the way the hens
gobble the worms, and wallow in the
dirt, will convince you that you have
made no mistake.
When you bring in dozen eggs at
night. aud they are SO nearly alike
that no difference in color can be de.
tected, 1t is safe to assume that your
hens are pretty we'll bred.
The nature OF most breeds of poul.
try is to be gentle aud it is only by
experience of rough treatment that
they become shy. The true fancier
pets and handles his birds, but always
so gently that they learn to trust their
keeper.
Eggs broken within the hen usually
cause death. Wash the vent with hot
water to relax the tissues, then apply
sweet oil, pass the finger up the owl
duct and remove as much of the broke
shell as possible. Unless the hen is
valuable it would not pay.
Make q drinking fountain for your
chicks. by filling tin can with water
and then turning it upside down on a
fiat dish or tin can cover. This will
let out just enough water to supply
their wants but not enough to drown
in, and it is always clear.
The pure bred cockerel that sells
for about 81 is not the kind we sec at
the large poultry shows. But he is an
excellent bird to use on common
hock-worth dozen scrubs, inbred
and akin to the hen as we see them in
common use among neglected. farm
poultry.
rrhe horse is CALLED and still wo
need him in the collar daily" All
right. Keep on working him, only
sponge the gals two or three times
daily in cold water and cover them
with powdered sulphur. The sore
spots will callus over, become tough
and heal in spite of the work.
Accustom your horses to low, calm
tone OF voice and use it If anything
breaks, or they become frightened,
and they will always be manageable.
The horse that listens for loud com.
mands is carried away by panic. On
buying new horse get him into your
habits as soon rs 1T is possible to do SO.
To make success OF the poultry
business one must have liking for
the work, and be willing to work, too,
for poultry will not bear much neg
lect. The houses must be kept clean,
the feeding and watering should be
done regularly, AMI plenty OF grave
and grit kept by them, and ground
green bone.

Alert While Asleep.

A shepard once, to prove the intel
ligence Of his dog lying before the
fire, said, during long sentence con-
corning something else, and without
changing his tone: 81 think the COW
is in the potatoes. The dog, which
appeared to be asleep, says the Bos.
ton Advertiser, jumped up instantly.
and leaping through the window,
scrambled up the turf roof of the
house, from which he could survey
the potato field. Not seeing the COW,
he ran into the farmyard and discov-
cred her. Then he returned and laid
down in front of the fire. The same
joke was tried again, and the same
performance was repeated. The third
time, however, the dog got up, went
to his master, wagging his tail with a
comical expression on his face, as il
to say he understood tho game. The
company began to laugh, and he, be.
ing offended, returned to his corner
with an offended air and went to sleep,
refusing to be disturbed again.

Always a (}ontleman.

When the wife Of Sir Bsrtle Frer,
had to meet him at the railway sta
tion, she took with her . servant who
had never seen his master. "You
must 60 and look for Sir Bartle," she
ordered. "But," answered the non
plussed servant, chow shall 1 know
him?" "Oh. said Lady Frere, '1ook
for tall gentleman helping some
body" The description was sufficient
for the quick-witted man. He went
and found Sir Bartle Frere helping an
old lady out of railway carriage, and
knew him at once by the description.

FEEDING VALUE OF SKIM MILK.

The feeding value of skim milk is
admitted by all parties who have given
the subject any attention at all. to be
from fifteen to forty cents per hundred
pounds, depending upon the character
of stock to which it is fed, and the
methods employed in feeding. Now,
since the change that seems to have
come over the whole country regard
ing the manufacture of filled cheese,
and the stingent legislation that has
and will continue to be enacted
against this counterfeit, it would be
we'll for the creamerymen, factorymen
and farmers to take up this question
of utilizing skim milk and endeavor to
put it to the best possible use. Farm,

If one were to attempt to enumerate and
classify the sports of summer, he would have
alarge job on hand, but at glance we know
that thousands are engaged in these pastimes

suit the rough usage brings about sprains,

this as also raisers and trainers of fine

PRODUCE MARKET.
WHEAT. AND OTHER GRAINS.

WHEAT FREIGHTS-Vessesa coming
in freely, and shippers consequently less dis
posed pay asking for tonnage especially as
market at going quotations. Hence spot char
tiers being drawn. For spot vessels BIS Cd is
the general rate asked. The chartered wheat fleet
in port has registered tonnage of $3.50, against
6575 tons on the same date last year; dsengaged.

WHEAT-As long Chicago continues to bob
about this market will be unsettled as futures
are concerned. Spot grain is less affected, being

Wheat is lower in San Francisco than it really
ought to be, owing to three adverse conditions:
FIRST, the scarcity of tonnage, second, high

wheat that hangs like the sword of Damoces over
the market Until these abnormal conditions are
removed this market will remain below the parity
