Points About Growing Potatoes.

Points About Growing Potatoes.
The quantity of seed potatoes re-
CURED for an acre will depend a great
deal upon the size of the potatoes and
the size of the pieces each seed potato
is cut into at planting time. AS a gen
eral rule it requires from ten to twelve
bushels planted in rows 8 feet apart
and IS inches apart in the row. This
is suppOsing that the potatoes are of
medium size and are cut so that each
piece will have two or three eyes. The
land should be rich. Loan we'll fer
tilted with stable manure is as good
as any soil that can be had. If the po-
tatoes can be planted on clover sod, so
much the better. Prairie sod can be
well cut up into a mellow seed bed.
Ordinarily the second year after break
ing the prairie is better than the first.
Ground which had no crop last year
and was covered with weeds will con-
tain a great number of weed seeds and
much labor will be required to keep the
potatoes clean.-Orange Judd Farmer.

the animal had died of consumption of the
lungs. Both these organs were studded
with military tubercles, and it had evidently
been suffering for long time. The disease
was probably inherited
MY correspondent then says that while
Angora cats are delicate and especially sub
ject to this disease, and doubtless many OF
them die from what is supposed to be ex-
posture, it is merely quick consumption: But
the great mischief lies here. The disease
is well known to be both hereditary and
contag ious, and this very kitten is liable to
have communicated this disease to all other
kittens in It's society, as we'll as TO the other
animals, like guinea pigs and rabbits, crea-
lures who are especially susceptible to 1t.
Therefore, when any one buys an animal
where the greatest care is not taken for
its physical condition, one may bring into
the family a whole focus of disease which
is liable to be communicated to little chill
dren or other members who kiss and pet
the poor, sick thing, not knowing the ter
rible risk which is run. 1t behooveS every
purchaser of any such pet to be sure when
1t is bought that IT is plump, we'll nourshed
and, as tar as can be ascertained, free from
the seeds of this most dangerous and con-
tagtous disease.
