Remarkable Potato Growing
From the scientific American.

Mr. G. f. Ford, of Rusk, Texas, gives
us particulars of the remarkable success he
has achieved in raising potatoes The po-
tatoes he prefers for forcing are of the
Early Rose variety, the vines or stalks
growing 6 to feet, and but seldom
blooming or having balls The Triumph
is said to make a crop quicker than the
Early Rose and to stand the dry weather
better Mr. Ford believes in intensive
culture, or the highest fertilizing and in
creased labor on small piece of land,
rather than little labor and fertilizing on a
large tract. He sprouts his potatoes to
the size of English peas or marbles before
planting and then raises crop in from
four to six weeks, all of large size, without
pack of small potatoes to an acre. He
writes:
There were forty seed the size of peas
planted to every double hill plant my
potatoes in the water furrow and leave a
balk 1 to 6 inches wide, and when the
potato seed is dropped on the balk part
of the seed fall on each side of the narrow
balk. cover with two burrows Of
turning plow. | make my rows feet
apart the hills Is inches apart in row,
which makes 40 hills across an acre
and 40 rows to the acre makes, $500
double hills of potatoes to the acre, or
10, 600 single hills As you will see, a
hill of 40 seed potatoes goes across the
balk, making the hill cover some Is inches,
or half the ground, | never plant less
than 20 and have planted 60, and the 60
will every one make as fine potatoes if we
have plenty of rain. also give my po-
tatoes fertilizing with liquid manure every
rain. 1t takes from 60 to IS potatoes to
make bushel, never more than 75 |
have kept the same seed for 2G years and
have potatoes both sweet and Irish the
whole year round.
BY sprouting your potatoes you have
eating potatoes in less than ne-half the
time it takes under the old style Of plant
ing. II take, from four to six weeks to
sprout the seed potatoes to the size OF
peas; the sprout room | kept warm by a
small charcoal fire in bake oven. One
barrel of charcoal will be plenty for the
whole time. | put my potatoes into old
barrels or small boxes, 50 as to get them
easier than in big heap or bunk. The
smaller the boxes, the easier and quicker
they will sprout. When the potatoes get
large enough, | knock off the hoops, take
down the slaves, and there are thousands Of
small potatoes from the size of bird eye
to that of peas and few the size of mar
bles; the whole mass is held together with
small roots. | take a hand barrow (not q
wheelbarow) and carry the seed down the
row, and the third person breaks off as
many as you wish not less than twenty to
forty-and let them fall on the balk in
the water furrow and give two plowings.
My sprout house has double walls and is
filed in between with saw dust, also over
head, and has double DOORS

Great American Desert.
From the Chicago News,


In that country once known as the
Great American Desert embracing a
protion of Texas and Arizona, there are no

other fruits, grow, especially near the
cross-timber country, but there is no per-
fume; wild flowers have no smell, and car
casses of dead animals, which in dry sea-
sons are very plentiful, emit no odor. 1t
was always supposed to be treeless plain,
upon which no plant could grow OF breath
ing thing could live, but large part Of it
is now successfully cultivated, and but for
the rarity Of the atmosphere, causing the

which are even more perfect than in the
Desert of Sahara, no one would look upon
it as barren country now. Another sin
gular feature common to the desert land is
that objects at a great distance appear
