.PERlLS OF THE NORTH SEA.

hit Of Ocean Full Of Anxiety to Passenger
Ink. - and Navigator. T~
D. The passage OF the North sea, or Ger
man Ocean-for it is equally well known
by both titles-is looked upon with dread
by the navigators no have to brave it's
dangers. - G,:+"3 AK = y. y,
The sailors of the North German Lloyd
call it the sea of murder in allusion to the
marine disasters with which its history
bristles. The captain Of the liner, whose
destination is Liverpool, feels that the
perils, of his voyage are practically over
when he reaches Queenstown. The CON-
manders of the North German Lloyd ships,
on the other hand, realize that the most
dangerous part of their journey is yet to
come, for ahead of them is the narrow and
crowded English channel and the equally
crowded and tempestuous North sea. p,
J. The unruly waters are open to the fierce
sweep of the wind that is so dreaded in
Europe, that which is from the northeast.
Only those who have experienced these
marrow chilling, pneumonia breeding
blasts can realize their anger and their
power. The gulf stream which surges up
the channel and around the northern end
Of the British isles meets the ICY current
from the arctic regions. Storms, varied
by dense fogs. result from this ~cqmbina-
ton. ~
The east coast of England forms dead
ly ice shore for the shipping caught in the
prevailing winds. In addition to these
natural dangers, the North sea Is crossed
and recrossed by dozens of steamer
'lanes." 1t Is also the seat of the great
herring fisheries, with their thousands of
smaoks and schooners that, lying at anchor
here, there and everywhere, are by no
means the least of the dangers which men,
ace the navigator. Here, too, there are
hundreds Of Scotch and English coasting
craft, which stand we'll to sea to avoid the
dangers of shore lines, and. lastly, the
mouth of the Thames spreads funnellike
into the North sea, adding to the total
perils with its fleets OF incoming and out
going vessels.-Boston Transcript

Preparing Potato Seed.


Professor Henry Of the Wisconsin sta
ton several seasons ago conducted a Sc;
ries Of experiments in the preparation of
seed potatoes. The experiments included
seed Of thin pairing, one eye to piece;
thick pairing, one eye to piece; cut
ting to single eyes, whole potatoes, seed
ends and stem ends. All received the
same culture. The results with the thin
parings are interesting as showing how
good a yield Of potatoes may be- obtain
ed by planting parings. When potatoes
are cheap, the farmer can better afford
to plant 8 greater weight Of seed pots.
toes than to take the time to cut into
very small pieces. ,...'.- '.'.... g.
Further experiments at the Wisconsin
station showed that as between cuttings
and whole, tubers the largest market
able yield came from the heaviest cut
ting, though the increase in the yield
was by no means in proportion to the
increase of seed. The proportion Of
small potatoes increased with the in
crease Of seed. The smaller whole pota-
to gave inferior results as compared with
the smaller cuttings. The hills we're SO
inches apart each way. The trials with
hills a. compared with drill planting
showed that no loss Of yield followed
planting in hills. The hills were three
feet apart each way, and in the last ex-
periments the hill received two two eye
cuttings Of Rose Seeding potato The
drills were also three feet apart, single
two eye cuttings Of the same variety be-
ing placed Is inches apart. ~

THE WORT Hin ToN ADVANCE:
,s4ALL We GROW TIMOTHY HAYi
The Reply OF ., Correspondents Of Prairie
Fsrmes 70 This Strange Question. IN

The Reply or . Correspondents Of Prairie
III Farmes 70 This Strange Question.
The question at the head Of this
article may seem rather Q strange one,
but the writer has an increasingly
strong belief that the time has come
when multitude Of farmers on fer
tile, easily worked, corn growing lands
may wisely abandon the growth Of tim
othy hay, certainly SO far as growing it
to be fed on their own farms is con.
serned. He is equally convinced that
on very many farms it is a mistake to
sow timothy alone on lands designed
for pasturage. In the great corn grow
ing states no other crop will ordinarily
give so much food for live stock or SO
cheap food as will corn. This is true SO
far as the grain is concerned. The value
of the stalks and leaves is being the bet
ter appreciated year by year. Corn is
the one almost exclusive crop for ensi-
lage. With all the admitted difficulties
in handling the crop it is doubtful
whether any other forage Of equal value
can be SO cheaply produced and fed as
can corn slower. The value of oat straw
is still often underestimated. Fed in
iudicious combination this may often
wisely beQubstituted for timothy hay as
food for farm horses. ~,
The olovers stand on different basis.
Grass has much value in a rotation, but
clover has much more. On soils and in
climates adapted to it clover will not
only give larger yield Of either pas
turage or hay, but q larger food value
per acre. It is to be admitted freely that
there are greater difficulties in properly
curing clover for hay, and that it is Of.
ten seriously damaged in the process.
The very great value to the soil of the
clover or other leguminous crop, in q
rotation, added to the special fitness Of
these crops.for being fed in connection
with corn-either the grain or the slower
-or with the straw of other grains,
gives clover a decided superiority over
timothy or most other true grasses as
hay crop.
Whether it may not be wise to SOW
timothy or some other grass, perhaps
orchard grass, with clover, for either
pasture or hay, is question which may
often be answered in the affirmative.
In many cases the yield is considerably
increased by having mixture of clover
and grass. Sometimes the hay crop is
the more easily cured, and many prefer
the mixed hay to hay of either kind
alone.
Where there is q good market for
timothy hay it may be profitable to grow
it for sale, but making this a prominent
feature Of the farming system for a
series of years is bad for the fertility of
the soil, and where the crop must be
drawn some miles to a shipping point
or local market profit is doubtful 80
Without assuming to lay down rules
for others, it is the present expectation
Of the writer that timothy will have a
very subordinate place on his own farm,
and that pure timothy hay will have no
place in the foods used on that farm.
