Potatoes Grown in Ridges.

It is from force of example and
habit rather than from closely study
ing the subject that the great majority
of farmers plant potatoes in hills.
Wherever the crop is largely grown
for market, putting the potatoes in
drills aud ridging the soil over them
is found the more economical way, and
also to produce the largest crop. The
advantage of the hill method is that it
enables the farmer to cultivate the
rows both ways. But if he uses his
opportunity to ridge the potatoes when
covering them, md afterwards harrows
down the ridges, all the good effect of
the cross cultivation will be secured
and more cheaply. The potato crop
will be larger, and if care is taken not
to put in too much seed, there will be
larger proportion Of potatoes of mar
ketable size.
Most of tho new variety of potatoes
bunch themselves in the hill, and with
most of them there is too much vacant
space between hills three feet apart
each way, which is the usual distance
for potatoes in hills. At distance of
fifteen to eighteen inches in the rows
there will be continuous mass OF
potatoes, while if the rows nre two
feet ten inches apart the potato tops
will nearly meet between them. With
potato coverer, drawing the earth
from between the rows to the potatoes,
one cultivation should be made after
the potatoes are up. This should,
within "a hours, be narrowed down,
going across the rows with q heavy
drag, which will leave the ground
nearly level again, and will greatly in.
crease the rigor of the potatoes. This
covering and narrowing must only be
done when the soil is dry. If rains
come so that the soil would stick to
the potato leaves, it is best to do with
out this second covering.
By keeping the cultivator at work
nil the time, and running close to the
potatoes while the plants are small.
weeds can be kept down among drilled
potatoes rs we'll rs they usually are
when the potatoes are in hills. There
will be some weeds come up among
the potatoes in either case. We have
always found some hand work needed
to remove these in either case. But
it should be done while the plants are
small, and to remove those that es-
capped being covered by the soil thrown
up by the cultivator among the pota-
toes in the rows.
Not more than two good eyes should
be put in place when potatoes are
planted in drills. If we could be en-.
tirely sure of the seed one eye in o
place will produce as good a crop as
any, with very few small potatoes. In
hills where the whole potato is often
planted the proportion of small pota-
toes in the crop is too large to make
the crop profitable. : American Guilt

BoRN.peyoyRlNa LARVAE.
soft.Bodied Insects Which Eat Holes Id Li1.
Ing Animals Horns.


A curious fact which for many years
has proved q bone 6f contention
among scientific men has just been de-
cided. Sportsmen and naturalists
when hunting III India and Africa
have from time to time had brought
under their notice the horns Of various
species Of deer and buffalo which have
been more or less perforated by In
sects. On careful examination it was
found that the, little creatures which
tunneled and made their home in the
hard fibre of the horn were the cater
pillars, or larvae of mothi belonging
to the same family as tie COMMON and
ell too familiar eiothes fiioth.
From their dimihutive sizei the
moths belonging to this family have
received the name Of tineidae, dnd 1t
has been observed that they are all
more OF less given to making their
homes in strange places during the
larval stage of their existence. The
little larvae Of our old enemy the
clothes moth, for instance, make for
themselves protective cylinders out.of
the cloth they SO greedily devour.
Sometimes these tubes present d
very curious appearance owing to
their having enlarged as the insect
has grown and different colored mate!
rails used for the new portions of the
old case. The larvae Of another branch
of this family deck themselves out
with floral garments, the calyx Of the
flower of the commoh marjoram being
q very popular dress, while others are
of mining disposition and love to exi
cayate elaborate tunnels in the leaves
Of the honeysuekle:
Strange as these habits appear; it IS
yet more wonderful that species Of
these soft-bodied insects should be
capable Of boring SO hard n substance
as the antlers Of deer. During the
forty-fve or fifty years that these
horn-devoiirlng larvae have been uri:
der observation the various stages of
their existence have been successfully
noted, from the laying Of tile egg up
on the horn by the mother moth to the
final appearance of her offspring as
perfect male and female insects.
The larvae, on emerging FROM the
egg. bore down into the horn. and
when they have eaten their fill and
are ready for their chrysalis sleep they
tunnel up to the surface, so that they
may have a convenient exit by which
to make their escape when the bupal
sleep Is over and they have become
perfect moths.
Dut, although so much Of their life
history was known, there stlll remain
ed one problem unsolved. This knotty
question was that no one knew for
certain whether these larvae attacked
the horns and antlers Of the buffalo
and deer while the animals were alive
or only after DEATH. After many years
Of speculation and conflicting opinions
it has at last been conclusively proven
that these insects do infest the horns
of living quadrupeds, for the news has
lust come to hand that both the larvae
and chrysalis have been taken from
the horns within an hour Of the death
of the animals to which they belong
