Basket Willows.

There are a great many spe-
cies of willows which lean be, US
ed for basket making, many more than
those usually known as osier willows.
Under the latter name are such sorts as
Purpurea, Forbyana, Vitellina and Cor
data. In nurseries where collections of 20
to 30 kinds are kept it would not be hard
to select a dozen KINDS which will twist
easily, and this, of course, is the requisite
of a basket willow. Then there are sorts
of stout growth and sorts Of weak growth
fitted for large or small baskets, as may
be desired. AS willows strike easily
from cuttings, young plants are cheap,
and those who may wish to experiment,
should get few plants of large number
of varieties to test them. As is well under
stood, willows like a damp place, but It
is by no means essential to them. / have

sMeet Pofntn CnItnre.

AS the season is almost here for your
southern readers to begin preparing for
the sweet potato crop, L suppose a few
hints as to their planting and culture
will not be amiss, writes a Georgia far
mer in Practical Farm.
In the first place it is supposed that
you have the required seed, ]. e., good
sound medium sized tubers which were
well selected and put up last fall, so as to
keep free from rain or frost.
The preparation for the crop COM
mences in numerous ways here, but it is
the mission of this article to give what
the writer believes from experience to
be the best plan for raising a bountiful
home supply without any attempt to
realize any money in the way of market
ing them. For the kinds best suited TO
this purpose 1 would select not more
than three varieties. viz: White West
India for poor lands, Pattishall or Bari a.
does for lands of medium fertility and
pumpkin Spanish for very rich lands.
These three kinds are unexcelled, and di-
rections for the planting and culture of
each will be given in the order they are
named.
The West India yam has not many

quality, but for my use there is no po-

You should submit your wine to good
judges of the article and get their opinion
of its quality. If it is good wine you ought
to find ready sale for it, and should get
anywhere from 70 cents to Sl.50 per gallon.
There is nothing better than good Soup
pernong wine. If it is poor, of course you
cannot expect to realize much for it. Take
or send by some friend a sample of your
wine to city dealers, and also advertise
1T in your nearest local papers.
1t would take more space than
can be well spared to describe
at satisfactory length the mo-
dus of making wine. We would advise
you to send to the Orange Judd Company,
New York, for HusSman's wine and
Wine Making" and you might send to
the California experiment station, Berke-
ly, Cal, and ask the director to send
you his several bulletins that treat of wine
making The rule that prevailed
for some time was to add
one pound of crushed sugar
to the gallon of juice, to give the wine
more body and better keeping qualities.
scuppernong is regarded as deficient in
sugar compared with other wine grapes.
The fact however is this grape can be
made into the very finest of Muscatel
sweet wine or a very fine light dry wine.

chapter on the subject, but we would like
to hear from any of our readers who have

The Triumph Irish Potato.

We are indebted to our cores ondent.
Mr.. ]. f. Guilmartin, Savannah, Georgia,
for a. basket of his home grown Triumph
potatoes. We shall plant them, side by side
with the Rose, Goodrich, Peerless, Elephant
and Ohio. Two years ago we planted the
Triumph and found it a most excellent
kind. being very productive and a good
keeper. Not planting a second crop the
seeds were lost. Mr.. Guilmartin gives his
estimate of the Triumph as follows:
II like this potato for it stands more
wafer and grows and does well on land
that is too low for many other kinds. 1t
Yields with the best on all kind of lands.
