THE FARMING WORLD.
PLANTING POTATOES.
,eep, Mellow Soil. Kept In Good Tilths
Gives the Best Results.

Deep, Mellow Soil. Kept In Good Tlths
Gives the Best Results.
There are two advantages in plant
ing potatoes reasonably deep. One is
they are less liable to be injured by
drought. The other is that there is no
necessity for Milling up to prevent sum
scald. To gro" and yield well potatoes
require considerable moisture. If the
soil is stirred thoroughly apd deep and
the planting is deep they will be more
certain of securing plenty of moisture
than when the blowing and planting
are shallow.
Keeping the surface level and in >
good filth aids in retaining moisture
in the soil,
A deep, mellow, loose soil kept in a
good filth gives the best results with
all crops. Run out the burrows with q
single shovel pillow, plant reasonably
deep, cover well. If good drainage is
provided and there is not too much dam
ger of washing, it will be best not to
fill up the burrows entirely, but to do
this gradually as the cultivation is
given. The potatoes may be planted
deeper this way than would be best if
all of the covering must be given at
once.
Have the soil rich, and if there is not
enough we1l-rotted manure to make
the necessary fertility, it will be good
plan to use commercial fertilizer, APP
plying it in the hill before the seed is
planted.
If the soil is well-prepared before
planting the cultivation can begin with
the harrow and generally the first har-
rowing can be given before the plants
show above ground and second very
soon after. In this way the soil can be
kept in a good filth and the weeds de-
| stroyed at low cost.
II the planting is shallow, more or
less killing up will be necessary in or
der to prevent sun-scald, and the soil
will dry out more rapidly, often to an
extent to seriously affect the growth
and yield.-St. Louis Republic.

A Leak That should he stopped.

How many farmers outside of regu-
Lar dairymen ever take time to test
their cows and calculate whether or
not they are profitable and paying for
their keep. One good cow should fur
nish milk and butter bountifully for
any ordinary sized family, but how
often do we sec three or four head kept
for this purpose, and then the wants of
the family are rot at all times supplied.
This is leak that should be stopped
the coming year if you want to increase
your prosperity -Crabtree's Farmer.

PREVENTING PEAGr RoT.

It Can BE Accomplished by Early Spray
Ing, at Small Cost.
Rot is one of the worst enemies of
early peaches, but it can be controlled
by proper spraying, and at cost IF
less than two cents per tree for each
spraying. At the Delaware experiment.
station, five or six sprayings increased
the yield threefold, and of this total
yield the amount of sound fruit was
increased from three to fourfold, maxi
ing a total increased yield of sound
fruit at least tenfold on trees sprayed,
at a cost of 10 or - cents per tree, COM
pared to the unsprayed. The first APP
plication was made when the fruit buds
began to swell; the second just be-
fore the fruit buds opened; the third
when the petals had fallen; the fourth
when the fruit was the size of peas;
the fifth when the fruit began to color,
and the sixth about two weeks later.
1t is doubtful if the last two sprayings
are really necessary in most seasons.
The best success followed the use of
a weakened bordeaux mixture, made OF
six pounds bluestone or sulphate Of
copper and six pounds lime, to As gal
Ions of water. After the first and sec
ond sprayings, add three ounces paris
green to this formula, as a protection
against insects. Another equally good
fungicide (but the paris green should
not be used with IT'D is copper acetate,
eight ounces to As gallons of water.
There was twice as much rot with two
sprayings as with four or six. Neither
of these formulas will injure the foli-
age.
1t is important that two of the spray
ings be done before the bloom opens
Five applica tions made and begun after
the bloom was nearly shed were con-
siderably less effective than when two
were made before the bloom opened.
Four applications made after fruit
had set were less effective than two
made before the bloom opened. When
two applications were made, better re-
suits were obtained when one of these
was applied before the buds opened.
and again when the fruit was about
one-haf size, than when both were
made before the bloom opened.-Amer-
lean Agriculturist.

SHADED HIGHWAYS.

Why Every Progressive Citizen Should
Encourage Tree Planting.
If all the road supervisors of the
land were wheelmen, more attention
would be paid to the planting of trees
along the public highways.
The pleasure of summer day ride
is greatly heightened if the road leads
where the friendly shade of trees may
fall across it.
The cool fragrance of the woods is
made enjoyable because of the contrast
between its beautiful archways and
the sunny stretches beyond. But were
all the roads through woodlands, the
surroundings would become monoto-
