Sweet Potatoes: Culture And Uses.
THE PLANT BED.


To secure the sets for transplant
ing, the eyes or buds on the sweet
potato must be sprouted. For this
purpose considerable heat is re-
CURED, and termination takes
place in especially prepared open
beds, in cold frames, or in hotbeds,
the kind of bed used depending on
the climate and on the degree OF
forcing desired. For an early crop
bottom heat is desirable. This is
provided either by the fermentation
of manure or by fue heat from a
small furnace, the former method
being most frequently employed.
The latter menthod, however, per-
mits of more complete regulation
of the amount of heat, and has other
advantages which recommend it to
those who cultivate the sweet potato
on a large scale for market.
For the sweet-potato-p plant bed
select location somewhat protected
on the north side, Build an ordi.
nary plank cold frame 6 feet wide
and of any length desired, facing to.
ward the south and having its north
wall several inches higher than its
south wall. On the outside bank
dirt against the frame and protect
the bed against drainage water by
a shallow drain around the outside,
Protect the bed against moles by
means of a drain or by planking the
frame below the surface of the
ground.
Within the frame remove the
earth to a depth of to IL inches;
spread thin layer of leaves or litter
on the bottom of this excavation. to
assist in draining the bed and to re-
tain the heat. Then ON this litter
place a layer of manure to ~
inches thich, the thickness of the
layer depending on the amount of
heat required. Level and pack the
manure and on it place layer of
sand or soil ~ to 3 inches thich
On this place the sweet potatoes in

they may be split lengthwise, plac-

1t Was a Cloud Burst.

Racine, Wis, May 13.-A storm
visited this city last night which
developed into a cloudburst. 1t
lasted two hours and vast quantities
of rain fell. In many places the
water was even with the curbing of
the main streets, and in lowlands it
was three feet deep. Cellars were
flooded and altogether it was the
greatest downpour known in years.
1t was accompanied by thunder and
lightning and brewery on Douglas
