Digging Early Potatoes.

Because the potato vines have died
down while the weather is still hot il
does not follow that it is best to dig the
potatoes until they lie in the soil long
enough to tougher the skin, SO that il
will not peel when handled. If dug
while the skin is still green and wet.
warm weather follows, we have known
large heaps of potatoes to be rotted down
in two or three days. The tops of pota-
toes should never be used in covering
heaps. Use straw and cover only very
thinly while hot weather lasts. 1t is
necessary that air should get to the pc.
tatoes to dry them out quickly. But
there must be enough covering to ex-
clude sunlight, else the tubers will sun
burn. The difficulty Of avoiding one or
the other of these dangers is the chief
reason for postponing the harvesting OF
the great bulk of the potato crop until
cool weather late in September or even
into the following month. American

When we read of an elephant hunter who
has been tranpled to death in the wilds of
India, we wonder at the foolhardiuess of a
man who will travel round the world and
endure all manner of hardships in order to
court death in far away Jungle. A man
does rot have to make journey to India
IN order to court death in manner equally
foolhardy
Thousands of hard working men are daily
counting death in much more certain
form, without ever leaving their native vii
lagos or cities. They are the men who neg
lect their health. They are the men who
court death from consumption, or some
other deadly disease due to improper or
insufficient nourishnent. The man who
suffers from bilious or nervous disorders,
who has a weak stomach and an impaired
digestion, who has lost the power to eat
rest or sleep, and who fails to take prompt
steps to remedy these conditions, is court
ing death in the guise of some fatal malady

FALL PLANTED CABBAGE.

lest Varieties = When to Transplant.
Spring Setting.
Several readers having asked how
fall planted cabbage is handled for
spring setting, The Rural New Yorker
gives the following answer by the SUI
perintendent of Burpee & Go. IS trial
grounds:
This method was largely used by
truckers before the south began ship
ping early cabbage. lis still somewhat
used by dealers and truckers who desire
the earliest plants. The best varieties
are Early Jersey Wakefield and Win
nigstadt. Seed of these varieties is sown
outdoors from Sept Is to Oct. 1.
Late in October the young plants are
transplanted to cold frames. At this
time they should be about two inches
in height and of short. stocky growth
The plan is to set them in rows two
inches apart in each direction. The bed
or cold frame is just an Enclosure of
plain boards set on edge. These boards
inclose the sides and support the cover
ing during the winter.
It is not desired to have these plants
increase in size before spring. The idea
is to keep them i'll as nearly dormant
condition as possible. Therefore no COW
ering should be used until there is dan
ger from severe frost. 1t is not neces-
sary to use glass sashes, although these
are the best Shutters made of half inch
boards, reaching from side to side of
the frame, will prove satisfactory.
1t is necessary to give an abundance
of fresh air on every possible occasion
This is done by removing the sashes or
covering so as to keep the plants hardy
and stocky. The frame ought to be on
high, we'll drained soil In very cold
weather additional protection is given
by placing manure around the outside
of the frame and laying old carpet or
straw mats over the sash or shutters.
In case of storms, snow may be allowed
to remain over the frames several days,
but on the first clear, mild day they
should be dug out and given fresh air
and sunlight.
These plants are we'll hardened from
their manner of growth and in the
spring may be set out as early as the
ground can be dug or plowed. Near
Philadelphia they are generally planted
from March 90 to April 1, if the weather
is at all suitable. They will not be in
jured at all by light frost.

Agricultural Brevities.

The Rhode Island agricultural expert
ment station presents in bulletin No. As
analyses of licensed fertilizers sampled
by the chemist of the state board of ag-
riculture.
Professor M. V. Slingerland of Cor
nell, whose excellent work in acquaint-
ing farmers with the best methods of
combating insect foes has met with keen
appreciation. has been appointed state
entomologist of New York.
The director of the Ohio station is
credited with the statement that pure
corncob ash is worth as much as fer
tilizer, pound for pound, as muriate Of
potash.
The indications seem to be for short
potato crop in the east.
Seeding lawns is now in order,
It has been noted by competent OBJ
servers that the point of decadence in
the agriculture of country is marked
by the decreasing acreage devoted to
the growth of forage plants.

In some portions of Germany the
kirmess, or church mass formerly
danced in honor of the dedication of a
church, is now observed with the special
character of harvest home. It marks
the close of the year s labors and is cele-
brated by three days of music, feasting
and dancing with partners chosen or al
lotted, according to degrees of comeli-
ness, at the preceding May festival.
In southern Germany the end of the
harvest is marked by the sickle feast.
The last sheaf is carried in triumph to
the barn and placed on the floor, while
the younger couples dance around it.
One half Of it is then decked with rib
bons and hung aloft, while the other
half is burned. It's ashes are treasured
as a remedy for rheumatism and are
sometimes used in making amulets or
charms. The peasants leave for Wodan,
or "the old one, few ears of corn
and small number of apples, it being
considered unlucky to strip either field
or tree entirely bare. -Lippincott's

Use of Corn Binders.

In regard to corn binders an Ohio COR
respondent of Rural New Yorker says
have used one for three years and am
well pleased with it. With our bundle
carrier we can cut and put up six to
seven acres per day, and two men can
set it up better than by the old way.
When corn stands up well and is not
too tall, it can be handled much nicer,
cheaper and easier than by hand and
very few ears are knocked off. In our
part Of the state corn grows very tall
and we have found that the greatest
trouble is that the binder could not be
adjusted to suit all kinds, as the grain
binder can, but this trouble has been
overcome now, SO understand, by SIM
ply raising and lowering the platform
which holds the corn while the binder
ties it, Before, if the corn was tall, the
tie was SO low down that the corn
would lop in the middle, as it had nc
support.

The Red Cross Currant.

This variety, of recent introduction,
is receiving much commentator as a
valuable acquisition both for the fruit
grower and the private garden. Vick's
Magazine says of it: The Red Cross is
a Seeding produced by Jacob Moore,
the we'll known originator of new fruits
and who is worthy of special respect
and congratulation for this achieve
ment. The seed was derived from the
Cherry currant artificially crossed with
the White Grape currant. The Seeding
shows plainly, to some extent at least,
the influence of both parents. 1t has the
large size and color of berry of the
Cherry and tho longer stem and milder
quality of the White Grape. The plant
is strong, vigorous grower and very
productive, more so than either of the
parent plants. Compared with the Fay
currant, the punches of the Red Cross
are longer, and the berries hold their
size better to the end of the stem, aver
aging larger and more uniform. The ber-
ries are sweeter than the Fay or the
Cherry, the latter being particularly
dCl0s L lO 1eOO SIOoo 10 4C1u0A haO4J PAO-
ductive, and the clusters grow in groups
or masses instead of being singly dis
tributed over the plant, an arrangement
which favors rapid picking o. gathering,
and another feature conducting to the
same end is the length of stem between
the spur and the fruit allowing the
picker to take off the stems without in
reference of the berries with the fin
gers. These are important points, espe-
cially to the commercial grower. as
they will be indicated in the expense
account at the end of season. Looking
over all the varieties of red currants
available for the market growers where
we find the Red Dutch, the Cherry, the
Victoria, Prince Albert, La Versailles,
North Star and Pomona, it will be seen
that the Red Cross surpasses each of
these in one or more characteristic
points and is their equal in any partic-

Common Cow In Che Dairy.

There is not much lack in this coun-
try of advanced dairy teaching of the
highest kind, but there is a notable abb
sence Of the intermediate instruction of
the kind necessary to advance, by regu-
lar steps, the dairy methods in vogue
on western farms. AS very large por-
tion of the butter made in the country
is still made on the farms, such instruc-
ton as would raise the quality of farm
butter or 8 cents per pound would be
of vastly more Importance than an i'm.
provement in the methods that would
raise the price of creamery butter to the
same extent We have already had &C.
casion to note that the Kansas Agricul-
tural college is devoting chief share
of its attention along dairy lines of in
struction of the kind calculated to i'm
prove farm dairy methods. Among other
things the college has secured a herd of
good average Kansas cows There is nc
pretense that they are the best cows.
They weigh from 1 1000 to l, 100 pounds
and do not have the dairy form to any
notable extent. The effort will be made
to see not whether dairy COWS will pay
in Kansas, but whether average COWS,
such as are common in the country, will
pay. The results obtained from them
will also be contrasted with the results
given by herds selected for dairy excel
ience. The student will be taught the
difference in remunerativeness between
the carefully managed herds of dairy
COWS and similarly managed herds of
common COWS, thus furnishing an OBJ
ject lesson with regard to the relative
profitableness of the average COWS and
the good ones. Homestead

budding Cherries.

The cherry can be either grated or
budded, but the latter is preferable, for
the cherry and all other stone fruit trees
are successfully grated with more diff
Guilty than other orchard fruits. Bud
ding is done chiefly in the late summer
and early fall by the shield method.
The shield method of budding is the
one mostly used. It would be we'll to go
to some practical builder and have the
matter explained. The cultivated cher
ries do not succeed on wild cherry
stocks, says a writer in Rural New
Yorker.
