Tho farm papers all coincide that, MS
n rulo, farmers attempt to cultivate too
much land. Tt is fact, and one to bo
doplored, that almost every one spreads
his efforts ovor too much territory. Tho
boast is how many acres OF crops one
has grown and not how much per acre.
A neighbor took prido in saying that he
had put in 20 acres of spring crops, but
another who had only 25 acres of land
made moro net money from it than the
former did from his whole farm of 100
acres. Now. which was the wiser and
better farmer? A long time ago some
one printed pamphlet with this titles:
"Ten Acres Enough" Large farmers
thought the author crank. But cor.
respondent OF The Farm and Fireside
names and locates man who supports
himself, wife and six children from the
products of his farm" of two acres and
lays up money besides. He has neither
greenhouse nor nearby city markets to
facilitate his operations. He resides in
a country place where land is cheap
and transports his goods to village
market considerable distance away,
but he seldom returns without bringing
load of manure that costs him moth.
ing. The possibility of the production
of land is little realized.

Live Stock Points.

The meatshops during the holidays
presented in many places an appearance
as attractive as if they contained fruits
and vegetables instead Of meat Every
year tho taste of live stock breeders and
meat dealers is improving. Lately it
has become the custom among those who
know how to do the proper thing to
cover the bloody stump of a dressed
sleeps neck with paper pinned or tied
over it in the form of n cap 1t adds so
per cent to the looks of the carcass.
The various breeders associations re-
port almost universally lowered receipts
on account of hard times

profusely in many parts of the south

Potatoes In Michigan.

For southern Michigan either early
planting in April Or late planting in
June is recommended, since potatoes
planted in either Of these months are
more apt to escape injury from drought
than when planting occurs at interme-
diate dates. For late planting tho late
varieties are preferred at the Michigan
station, where TIA SO called varieties
have been tested. Summit was the most
productive variety grown. The list of
the we'll tried varieties known to be re-
liable is as follows: Very Early-Early
Six Weeks, Market Gardener Early and
June Eating Early-Early Oxford, Lee
Favorite. MoFadden Earliest, Queen
and Paris Rose. MISUNDERSTANDING
Early Pearl. Fillbasket, freeman, Mott
Victor, Queen Of Paris, Signal, Sup
planter, Rural Blush and Thorburn.
Late-American Wonder, Dakota Red,
Halo of Dakota, President Lincoln,
Rural New Yorker No. 2 and Summit.
The more promising new varieties were
Columbian Rose, Early May, Stoneroad,
Main Crop Nos. and 2, Early Norther,
Vaughan White Prize, Worlds Fair
and Wolverine Beauty.

Piuoking Fowls.

There are somo persons who object to
scalding fowls preparatory to removing
the feathers, Professor Blot among the
number, on the ground that it iniures
the quality of the flesh With all respect
for the professor, The American Poultry
Yard does not believe the difference is
worth minding at all. Plucking the
fowls is tedious enough at best,
If there are any who want to operate
without the aid of the scalding process
let thom do so, and when they are tired
of it let them try the following inn
proved method: Dip the fowls in cold
water and let them drip. Then apply
finely pulverized rosin to the feathers
using dredging box for convenience
Then scald in the usual way. The rosin
sticks the feathers together so that the
pinfeathers come ont with the others,
saving much trouble Apply about half
teacupful of rosin to fowl. Use the
common crude article. 1t is cheap stuff,
and its cost is made up ten times over by
tie labor saved, according to the au-
thority. quoted.

Amount of water In irrigation.

J. w. Sanborn, Utah station, began
in 1890 experiments with grain to as
certain the amount Of water to be used
in irrigation. These experiments were
continued in 1898 OH wheat and also on
timothy. On the wheat water was ap.
piled at rates sufficient to saturate the
soil to depths Of 4, az, az, 2, 1la and
three.quarters feet, and OH timothy at
the first five of these rates. The results
are thus summarized: The plants on
soil saturated to the depth OF l1s feet
gave a better crop of grain than those
on soil r<oniying greater or less
amount Of wdter. For timothy the plats
saturated az feet deep gave the best
results. Where water applied is small
in amount the temperature grows higher
on decreasing amounts. Water applied
to grayelly soils appears to evaporate
inside of l2 days.

Haulinx out Manure In winter.

Unless the stable manure can be shell
tered from the winter and spring storms,
ii is often advisable to haul it every day
or every week to the field, dumping it
in piles too small to heat, but not spread
ing it, What ever material is washed off
these piles by tho rains or blown off by
the winds will lodge in the soil where
the crops are to grow, while tho leach
ings and dust of the baInyard are usual
ly both loss and nuisance. The saw
ing of the teachings will more than OFF,
set the slight loss of ammonia. The
stock will thus have cleaner yards. -

AS this trouble generally comes in

COST OF POTASH FOR com.
The Most Profitable Form In Which to
Apply Tuis Essential Fertilizer.

Tho Most Profitable Form In Which to
Apply Tuis Essential Fertilizer.
The commercial value Of any fertilizer
ingredient is not always the trne stand
ard Of it's value ON any particular crop.
Il Is we'll known that the corn crop
needs liberal supplies Of nitrogen, phos-
phoric ncid and potash, but since corn
grows through tho Whole hot season,
when nitrification 10 most active in the
soil. particularly when, as should al
ways be tho case, q sod is buried for the
corn, the artificial application Of nitro.
gen is seldom profitable in this crop at
its commercial valuation, while potash
IN some form is always profitable, par
ticularly OH sandy soils near the sea-
coast, either north or south.
It is interesting then to consider what
is the mort profitable form in which to
apply this essential fertilizer to the corn
crop. The profit Of using potash on corn
has been we'll shown at various agri-
cultural experiment stations. In New
Jersey an application Of potash gave an
increase Of 80 bushels per acre, or dou-
bled the crop, having an especially ex-
cellent effect, too, upon the increase of
fodder or stover, much more, in fact, than
upon the grain The Massachusetts, sta
tion found that potash fertilization gave
an average increase Of 11.3 bushels of
corn and 1908 pounds Of fodder. The
Kentucky station found that potash not
only gave profitable increase in the
corn crop, but benefited tho crops in
years succeeding its application to the
corn.
Tho West Virginia station made all
interesting series of experiments to
show the value of the different forms OF
potash ON corn, with the following re-
suits: They found that the averaged in-
creased yield. produced by q pound Of
potash in the form of kainit was 81. 80
pounds per acre, in tho form of sulphate
OF potash 25.74 pounds and in the
form of muriate Of potash 1919 pounds.
The average cost of kainit to produce Q
, bushel of corn was SOC cents, of sui
phate of potash 16.32 cents and of mu
riate Of potash 10. 30 cents.
This result is Of great Importance Il
all who use potash on the corn crop, bu
it will not do TO assume that the same
results will be obtained with othel
crops, explains w. f. Massey in q let
ter to Country Gentleman. Potatoes
says he, for instance, require larg
quantities of potash, and in getting i
i'll the form of kainit there would b.
danger of getting too much chloride o
Soda With this crop the muriate ha
always given the largest yield, and TIN
sulphate usually tho best quality.
