RAISING IRISH POTATOES.
An Industry that May be Made Profitable
In Some Portions of the
Southern Seaboard.

Two gentlemen of Brunswick, Ga,
have announced their intention OF
planting 100 acres in Irish potatoes,
and want to know if 1t will pay to
plant Irish potatoes largely in Georgia.
In localities where the Irish potato
may be gotten in market very early
as along the southern seaboard the
crop may be made quite profitable.
Also in the mountain regions where
the crop natures 50 late as to keep its
good qualities through the winter, its
cultivation will pay well. 1t is to the
first of these two cases to which your
inquiry applies. The conditions of
success are a rich sandy soil, well
drained, highly MANFRED, and a
good productive early variety of po-
tato. A good preparation for the crop
is a growth of COW peas on the land the
previous season, the vines being plowed
in during November. The peas sh ould
be manfred with phosphate and kai-
nit. Cow manure may be applied freely
to the land, but horse manure is objec-
tionable, having a decided tendeey to
piOdueC o1tiD III lilS HCbiACs Nh1eh
makes them appear unseemly and in
iures their sale. As early as local ex-
perienee shows that potatoes may be
safely planted to escape frost, lay off
rows four feet apart and distribute in
them 400 pounds each of acid phosphate
and cottonsed meal and 200 pounds of
kainit and 100 pounds of nitrate of soda.
Then run plow through the fertilizer
a couple of times to mix it with the soil.
For an early crop the seed should not
be planted exceeding four inches in
depth. Ii drill is deeper than that,
only partly fill it when covering the
seed, so they may come up promptly,
and at first working fill up completely.
This, by the way, is a very good plan
to kill the first crop OF grass The
crop should be cultivated at short in
tervals with cultiYator or heel-scrape,
! keeping the surface well-stirred aud
free from grass and weeds. Use me-
dium-sized potatoes for seed, cutting
/ the tuber in half the long way, and
dropping pieces one foot apart in drill.
| One of the earliest and best varieties is
Bliss Triumph. Early Rose and its
offspring, Beauty of Hebron, are also
/ good early varieties. Southern Gull

ponItrY ON the Farm,

A farm without poultry would look
as queer as a farm without cows or
pigs. We are sorry to say that there
are yet a few farmers who consider
fowls a nuisance and only fit for the
women folks to "mussa with. Such
farmers do not know which side of the
bread the butter is on. There is every
thing to gain and nothing to lose by
keeping poultry. Ii man can make
money by keeping fowls in a town lot
why can't the farmer make money
where the fowls require almost no food
during part of the year? There is no
need of having the truck patch along
side or near the hen roost and
it is easy to fence the fowls
out of the garden and door
yard. Ii the fowls fly over low fence,
string foot-wide wire net (two-inch
mesh) along the top. 1t costs very
little, and does not look badly. The
small chicks can be kept out by mailing
foot-long pieces of lath between the
pickets, or stringing a foot-wide wire
net (one-ineh MESH along the bottom
of the fence.
When we speak of poultry on the
farm we mean all kinds--duclxs, tur-
keys, geese, hens and guineas. There
is no better eating than "a nice fat
guinea. The flesh is rather dark, but
very sweet and fine favored. True,
they are noisy and their nests
hard to find, but whenever you
hear the guineas making an ex-
ira noise, either by day or night, you
can be sure that something is going
wrong. Ducks, turkeys and geese re-
quire good pasture and nothing else
for at least six months of the year.
During the balance of the year their
food can be cut clover hay or any green
food mixed with little bran and veg
etables. The hens will require more
care because they are supposed to be
producing eggs at nearly all seasons,
while ducks are producing only six
months, and turkeys and geese from
/ three to four months, and at these pc
riods it is best to pay more attention
to their food supply.-Agricultura
