POTATO CULTURE.
New Jersey Methods Explained by One of
the States Progressive Farmers.

New Jersey Methods Explained by One of
the States Progressive Farmers.
H. W. Collingwood in communica-
ton to The, New England Homestead
gives clear insight into methods of
culture practiced in his state. He
writes:
Early varieties pay best with me, and
have found June eating and Bovee
very satisfactory to my customers. Most
of my crop is grown between rows of
straw berries, raspberries and other small
fruits. If I try to raise a prize crop of
potatoes, proceed about as follows:
Start this year on warm, we'll drained
piece of ground and work it up thor
oughly with the cutaway, probably Civ
ing it five or six different workings.
Then use suitable fertilizer. Sow
bushel per acre of early black cowpeas
and work them in either with weeder
or light toothed harrow, followed by
roller. l do not touch the field again
until the 1st of August, then go through
and sow as venture IL pounds of Grim
son clover to the acre. The field would
spring The cowpea vines will be killed
by frost and fals to the ground. In the
spring as soon as the soil would permit
would go on with the cutaway harrow
and chop and cut the soil and vines as
thoroughly as possible This would re-
quire at least four workings with the
cutaway running in different directions.
If the soil were deep enough to war
rant it, I would then pillow as deeply as
possible and not turn up the subsoil.
After leveling the plowed field with the
Acme would plant in rows three feet
apart. would drop from 600 to 800
pounds of the high grade fertilizer to
the acre in the furrow, then plant.
Three days after planting we would be-
gin work with weeder or light Gull
tivator and keep the surface of the
ground thoroughly stirred up. AS the
plants appeared above the ground /
would cultivate at least twice a week
with the two horse Iron Age cultivator.
This machine straddles the row, and
every tooth is under immediate control
of the driver. At first would put the
teeth down three or four inches deep,
but as the plants grew " ould gradual
ly lift them until they merely scratched
over the top of the soil.
When the plants were six inches
high, 1 would fasten boxes on either
side Of the pole of the cultivator with
holes in the bottom. The boxes would
be filled with fertilizer, so that this
would gradually trickle out in advance
of the hoes This cultivation would be
kept up as long as we could possibly
get through the row. If were asked
to grow large crop of potatoes with
out a years preparation in cowpeas Or
some other similar crop, I would not
attempt to do it, at least on my farm.

They then leave the roots, form small

doing more or less damage, though
slight when compared with that of the
larvae.
The remedy is so simple and effective
that it would seem that no one ought
to suffer from their injuries. AS far as
known they have never been injurious
to corn after previous crop of wheat,
rye or barley, though the field may
have been infected before that. and a
crop of corn is then safe for at least two
years. Thus simple rotation, which is
also to be recommended on many other
grounds, is entirely effectual. Though
corn is usually almost its only food, it
has been recorded eating various weeds,
clover, beans, cucumber and squash

an instant, and all distractions are
washed away. The rate of application
is controlled by raising the gate little or
much. A pail with long handle fas-
tened to it in the form of large dipper
is used for filling the tank.
A writer in the journal alluded to
says that large boat pump may work
better for filling the tank than the pail
dipper, but he doubts if better rig can
be found for distributing liquid manure
than the one described. Where the land
is not level it is necessary to drive di-
rectly up and down the grade while
sprinkling to prevent more of the liquid
going to one side than the other. The
writer quoted says: cit is doubtful
whether the system of liquid manuring
is economical. No doubt grass lands
will respond to this treatment admira-
bly,; but, as much water must be added
to the urine to prevent rapid decompo-
sition if held for time and to keep it
from injuring the foliage when applied,
the labor of handling becomes as great
as or greater than it would be were alb
eorbents used to take up the liquid ex-
crement.

OF the solid excrement is mixed with
water till it flows readily and is sprin-

have rectangular tanks mounted on four
wheels in which to draw the liquid

CORN ROOT WORM.

4 Serious Western Pest Advancing East
ward-Southern Corn Root Worm.
The farmers and entomologists of the
central states have long known Diabro-
;ica longicornis say, the western corn
worm, as one of the worst pests with
which they have to deal, and its recent
progress eastward through Ohio has
been matter Of considerable interest.
E. D. Sanerson, writing from Cornell

man, gives the life history of this pest
and the remedy, accompanied with H.
Illustrations.
The eggs are laid in the early fall,
within few inches of the base of the
stalk, from one to five inches deep in
the soil. The larvae hatch from June to
August, and at first eat the small root
lets entire, and then commence burrow-
ing under the outer layers of the larger
roots. If on rich loan, this causes the
stalks to be easily blown over, or small

nearly white, with brown head, little
less than half an inch long, by less than
ne-tenth of an inch in diameter. Three
pairs of short legs are found on the
segments Immediately back of the head,
but otherwise the long, cylindrical body
appears perfectly smooth to the unaided
eye, though seen to have numerous
hairs and bristles under the microscope.

slightly darker and the body shortens,

Setting a Cranberry Bog.

Rural New Yorker says: The req
uisite for a cranberry bog is low,
moist soil which can be drained, and at
the same time be SO arranged that by
closing the gates in the drainage ditch
it can be flooded when desired. Such
land is usually marshy or swampy in
its natural state, sometimes covered
with scrubby growth of trees and
more or less boys and hummocks. The
first thing to do is to ditch the ground,
leading all the side bitches into one
main ditch which can be fitted with
gate at its outlet, SO that the water may
be allowed to run, or be stopped at
will, to flood the bog. Then the boys,
trees and in fact nearly the whole sur
face must be grubbed out and cleaned
off. This process is called turing, and
sometimes costs several hundred dollars
per acre.
Sometimes an old mill pond is used,
and then there is very little clearing to
be done. After the turing the surface
is covered with several inches of sand.
The vines to be planted should be
healthy and thrifty. They are cut to
six or eight inches in length and are
then trodden we'll into the sand. Little
after cultivation is required. Some
times a site intended for a bog is
flooded with water for two or three
years to kill the vegetation, as this is
cheaper than turing, but it takes a
longer time.

THE SENATCRSHIP.
Shepherdstown Independent.

Shepherdstown Independent.
1t seems now to be pretty generally
conceded that our next Legislature will be
Democratic on joint ballot. The most inn
portant business before this Legislature
will be the election of United states SEN
ator. We believe that we voice the SEN
timent of large majority of the party in
this end OF the State, certainly in Jeffer-
son county. when we say that we believe
that the best interests of the State will be
subserved by re-electing Senator Faux
ner whose ripe experience. gained by a
long term of service in the Senate, renders
him peculiarly fitted for the position at
this time, when international questions
of the greatest importance are to be set
tied for all t.me-questions which may de-
termine the destiny of this great nation.
AS a statesman Senator Faulkner has few
peers This fact is acknowledged and rec
ognized by not only his own party, but by
those of opposite political views, which
has been clearly proven by the positions
he has been called upon TO fill by our
Chief Executive. Ii can be said that SEN
ator Faulkner reputation is both nation
al and International and the loss of his
valuable services at this critical period in
the history of our country would not only
be a calamity TO his own native State, but
TO the whole United States.

A RETURN OF ITS OLD TROUBLE.

AS expected, Col Bryan's resigna-
ton from the army was the signal for
a fresh outburst of malicious partisan
blackguardism, vituperation and mis-
representation of that distinguished
Democrat from Republican partisans.
Witness the following from the Four
teenth street organ:
General Lee attempted to induce Colonel
Bryan to go to Cuba, but he preferred 10
resign. What did Colonel Bryan enlist
for? His case is a rare one (unless urgent
necessity or bad health may be his ex-
cuse) at such a time.
Col. Bryan has resigned because the
war is over and the treaty of peace
has been signed. There is no more
fighting to be done and an idle life in
camp is not to his taste.
What does the organ mean by saying
his case is "a rare one at such a time, "
when nearly the whole volunteer army
is anxious to be mustered out, and the
War Department has been flooded with
applications for re.ease from the SER
vice?
1t really appears to be the fact that
the Fourteenth street organ is posi-
lively unable to speak honestly or
truthfully of Democrat, and the more
prominent he is the more vicious and
contemplate the misrepresentation of
him.

in Fayette and the transmission of the
same to the Secretary of State indicate
that there is something rotten in Den
mark. According to the report of the poll
clerks of the election precincts, Andrews
majority over Osenton was 129. When the
canvass was made by the county court
Andrews's majority in Fayette county ap-
peared to have grown to 200, and when
the returns reached the office of the Sec
rotary of State the majority of the Repub-
lican candidate in Fayette for the State
Senate had grown to 800. According to the
canvass made by the county court of
Fayette. Andrewss vote was zoos and
Osenton's was 2, sos According to the GER
tifcate in the Secretary of States hands,
Andrews's vote is the same, 3,00S, but
Osenton's is cut down to 2,7OS. If the vote
on Senator can thus be reduced, say by
one or two hundred from each county, the
result will be that Andrews will be seated
| in the Senate instead of Osenton. How
ever serious a careless transmission of
votes to the Secretary of State may be in
the case of a Senator, it will prove much
more serious to the Democrats if this
thing were practiced in the matter of
