Last fall brought few bushels OF
an early red potato ont Of the cellar
Chicago Market, Rochester Rose, or
something else-and laid them one in
a place on the roof of a low shed to
start their sprouts, thinking to forward
the crop in this way. After while /
planted most of them, but a few still
lay on the roof until July ii, when,
part of the garden patch having been
dug for new potatoes, / planted forty
hills to see what they would do right
in the old hills. BY this time they
were sunburnt, black as coal almost,
and their stubby sprouts covered with
tiny green leaves were two inches long.
The weather was dry and hot, the
earth dry as ashes, and nothing was
seen of them till light shower brought
them up July u. From this their
growth was rapid, and there was a
larger growth of vines than the first
crop had. 4 frost cut them down Sep
tember D., but they were nearly ripe.
The first crop did not ripen, but they
would have grown little if any more.
Mr.. Waldo E. Brown, who has green
corn by the time mime is fairly up
not more than foot high at the most
could raise two crops i'm this way with
all ease, and so could any one who has
a degree or two less of latitude II de-
grees 80 minutes). The potatoes you
lay out on the boards must be recut;
then they will keep until it is time for
the second planting. Two crops OF
potatoes is better than the crop Of fall
weeds we see so often where garden
potatoes have been dug.-E. 5. Gilbert.

All farmers use cut feed for horses
when at hard work, because there is 8
great saving in the labor needed to d.
gest cut feed. If mixed with some
grain meal and wet so that the meal
can only be get by eating the cut feed
mixed with it, the whole will be chew
ed sufficiently to lnoisten it with saliva,
which is necessary toquicken digestion.
But this economy i'm feeding cut feed
is also important when the horse is not
working. If the cut feed is corn stalks
it should always be steamed with very
hot water. so as to soften the cut ends
of the stalks; which may cause injury.
This is the best, also, if hay or straw is
cut, particularly wheat or rye straw,
which, being harder than cut hay and
less nutritious. is not so likely TO be
thoroughly chewed. The stomach of
the horse needs slight irritation. This
Is the advantage which oats have over
other grains. Its hull helps the grain
to digest better, and this makes the
horse feel frisky and able to do his best.
1t is an old saying of farmers that
when an old horse begins to act unusu-
ally coltish he has probably ''got an
oat standing cornerwise against his
stomach, aud he jumps around so as to
get it out" 1t is homeiy illustration
but may have much truth IN it.-Am-
eriean Cultivator.

FARM, FIELD And ORCHARD.
Selling to Consumers.

A writer in the Detroit Tribune saws
that when in England last winter, he
noticed the farmers were trying to cut
the middieman and deal directly with
the consumer. One method was to ad-
vertise freely In the newspapers An
advertisement read thus: "Proyisions
from Suffolk farrn-Twelve new-laid
eggs, one pound of butter (silver medaD
jar Of cream, two plump fowls, or one
fowle, loin of pork, one pound of saul
sages, jar of potted meat; carriage paid,
London or suburbs, cash on delivery,
los. Cd. NJ, Suffolk" Another was as
follows: "Welsh mutton, direct from
the farmer, SD. for the whole, sheep
averaging 40 pounds, delivered free to
any address in London. Send postal
order 5]s-, balance if any, returned i'm
stamps; reference, &C." Why cannot
the idea be carried out in this country?
Possibly il is i'm some places. and if any
of our readers know about it we shall
be glad tn hear with what success it is
attended

Winter Treatment of Small Fruit

Where winters are severe enough
once In four years to seriously iniure I'M
protected bush fruits, mulehing or lay
lug down will often pay well. Much
depends upon the character aud cost OF
the material used, aud its durability.
Straw, unless clean thrashed and free
from grass seeds. is most productive
source of future trouble to the grower.
Forest leaves can be secured in sufficient
quantity i'm some localities to be avail
able for use amoug bush fruits. Where
obtainable, pine needles also form adj
mirable mulch, aud with a little care
i'm removing can he used two or three
times. Broken cornstalks that have
been well tromped over in the barn
ward are useful, and sorghum bagasse
Is utilized i'm snIDe SECTIONS. III the
colder aud drier climate OF the Upper
Mississippi valley the only sure pro-
lection for blackberries aud raspberries
is the laying down and covering of the
canes- This is accomplished by dig
cling away from one side OF the plant,
toppiing it over with fork, and wholly
or partially covering the canes with
earth from between the rows. This
method involves stalking or trellis.ng
the bushes when they are raised again
i'm the spring, but it Is found profitable
because of the insurance against crop
failure whicn it affords On most
heavy soils water burrows should be
run between the rows with a light one
horse or shovel pillow late in the fall
i'm order that surface water may be
promptly removed during the winter
months.
With the strawberry the only prun-
ing needed will be the removal of sup
erfiuous runners The raspberry and
the blackberry, bearing their fruits al
most exclusively ON branches from
canes of the previous year, are bene-
flied by systematic pruning, while the
currant and the gooseberry need it as
urgently as do the tree fruits or the
crane. il large fruit is the object sought.
Though sometimes subject to serious
damage by insects and fungous dis
eases. the small fruits, IS class, are less
injured by them than the tree fruits.
Most of the serious troubles may be
avoided by choosing vigorous and re-
sisfant varieties or by sprying with
we'll known insecticides and fungIcides.
