Level Culture for Potatoes.

Almost everybody now agrees that
level culture produces the largest and
best crops of potatoes But it is i'm
possible 10 have level culture unless
the seed potatoes are planted deep
enough for the tubers to form under
the soil. The constant tendency of the
tubers Is TO rise as they grow. This, IL
the seed has been planted only one or
two inches deep makes il necessary TO
draw dirt around the bill. making a
mound which sheds the water on
either side. This also cuts the pota-
to roots in the middle of the row. II
requires dry and rich ground TO make
successful deep planting and level cul-
ture possible. But soil without stag.
nant water near the surface is always
necessary for the potato crop If the
subsoil is filed with water through
winter and spring it is impossible TO
grow good potato crops on such land
the following season by any method.

HINTS FOR DAiRYMEN.

Coon bedding is an important factor
In keeping the cows and their quarters
clean. In order to make sure Of a
good supply, il is well to look after and
stow away what is needed in good
season.

not only must the quality Of the
product be good but il must be put

MANY beginners fail to understand
the Importance Of clean feed for the
cows The cows yield milk of flavor
and richness according TO their feed,
and when the best milk is expected
the feed must be supplied from which
1t can be made.
ONE advantage of dairying in con.
nection with other farm work is tina,
II aids in securing regularity. To
IN AXE the best success, the feeding
milking and other work should be done
regularly; and this tends greatly to
the promotion Of . regular system in
all that needs to he done.
WHETHER it is best TO feed the COW
while she is on good pasturage must
depend on what feed is worth and what
butter or milk is worth. Where bran
or oil meal or corn meal can he Sc
cured at low price. while the milk aud
butter can be marketed at good price,
1t is often advisable to do So
ONE Of the most important items In
making winter dairying profitable is
in making the cows comfortable. The
stables should bc reasonably warm and
dry. and these should be provided in
good season. The average farmer
cannot afford TO maintain animal heat
by feeding grain, and with the dairy
cows this is especially true.
WHILE the particular form OF the
package in which the butter Is sent TO
market must conform largely TO the
demands Of the market, there is one
fact that in all cases must be the rule,
and that is the packages must be neat
and attractive; and arranged or made

The principal causes Of impure milk
are: Impure air in the milking place,
bad food. foul water and filth; and as
they are all causes readily controlled,
they are inexcusable. The farmer who

lack Of customers. On the contrary, he
should be fined for imperiling the pub
