Care of Seed Potatoes.

Potatoes intended for planting will
need extra care this month Though
they cannot he planted for some weeks to
come, they should be got out of the cellar
Or pit where they have been stored and
exposed where they will get full benefit
of the sunlight If this is done before
the eyes have started, it will delay the
sprouting. and the bud when it starts will
be green and strong, ready to grow after
being planted. If the potatoes are cut
just as the buds are putting forth, and
kept few days to dry the cut surfaces.
the seed will be much less likely to rot
if planted early. This is better than
planting whole potatoes to prevent rotting
after they are planted in cold soil The
earliest potatoes ought not to he planted

The Breeding SoWS.

More pigs are narrowed in March than
in any other month Of the year. 1t is
the best time. if warm quarters are pro-

pigs will be old enough to be in to pick
grass and clover as soon as either start
But moro important than this. the extra
months growth makes the pig large and
strong enough to eat corn hen it comes
to be his main ration in the fall. with
out injuring digestion as it will in young
or pigs. Thus it generally happens that
the earlier pig is thrifter than the one
born later, especially when both arc put
up. to tattcn, and the difference in
weights represents moro than a month s
growth. Hence it pays to give the pigs
extra care. even to the extent of going
to the pigpen before retiring to see that
the pigs are all right. If one or more
is chilled, bring them into the house and
Immediately wrap them in warm blan-
kets laid between two jugs of hot water

small pig. but when it is fattencd eight
or ten months later the profit will be

ManureS for Early Planting.

No matter how rich the soil may be
from previous manuring. all seeds plant
ed during March or April should have
some heterogeneous manure put in with
them. There is no development of nj
trates in the soil during cold weather.
and that developed last year has been
mostly washed out by rains and melting
SHOWS. 1t needs some available nitrogen
to furnish Il supply until the fcrmenta-
ton of vegetable matter in the soil pro
vides it. Unless this is done the early
growth will be stunted and the crop will
not only he reduced in quantity. but will
be not much earlier than if planted later
with the soil warm enough to furnish
nitrogen and give the plants IL vigorous
start. Later in the season the nodules
on pea roots store nitrogen from the air.
But they do this for the soil rather than
for the growth Of the vine. While young
the pea vine needs heterogeneous manulcs.

of early peas consists mainly in their
earliness, it is a mistake to neglect Civ
