arrangement with his neighbor to
ride out home with him and to
carry his fiddle. So they enjoyed
their ride to the forks of the road

out for mud, but yesterday |
! hooked mp Nellie, my Is year old
2-40, and took a spin around, and
to my external surprise and aston

vehicles, from wheelbarrow to

Mr. Eubanks has erected a joranza
in front of his dwelling which

had, no society to get in, COW

Shame on such shiftless loafers.
Girls, stay with the old folks be-

Several young men, who have
been born on farm, are anxious
to get off to town on public work.
They never think that slack times
come, sickness to be contended
with, stranger in strange land
among strangers. Why do you
want to go and leave one of the
most honorable occupations that
all other business rest on and look
to for success--the farm?

would not only release the masses Of
the people from the burdens of taxa

A report sent out by the Cornell Elk
pertinent Station says: Such remark
able results in potato growing have
been secured during the past three Or
four years on the Cornell Experiment
Station grounds, that it has been
thought desirable to test the methods
employed here to ascertain whether
they will give similar results on other
sells and in other hands. It is hoped,
also, by having the tests made by the
farmers themselves on their own
farms, to attract the attention Of po-
tato growers throughout the state,
more emphatically than it has been
possible to do by the work done at the
station.
The land used for these experiments
at the station is a gravelly soil which
analysis has shown is carrying little
more than half the potential plant
food found in average soils. 1t has
not bcou lnanured or fertiliZed since
the autumn Of 1893, and has produced
heavy crops Of grain or forage each
season till planted to potatoes.
In 1895, eight plants averaged at the
rate of 1926 bushels. ranging from
20l to AS bushels, according to treat
ment. That year was especially fav-
orablc for potatoes and the average for
The state was extra high, being 122
bushels per acre.
In 1896, nine plats averaged at the
rate of 1874 bushels, ranging from
245.S TO 1903 bushels. The average
yield of potatoes in New York for that
year was SO bushels per acre.
In 1897, ten pats averaged at the
rate CT 322 bushels Per acre, ranging
from Pa to 3S4 according to treat
ment. The average III the state for
this year was G2 bushels per acre.
The experiments of 1898 were SINH
lar to those Of 1897, and are described
in Bulletin 1856. The average yield of
eleven plats was 1921 bushels, ranging
from 20G to 1886 bushels, according
to treatment.

Mr.. H. B. Niles. of Farmington.
MIMI, who relates his experience in
this method Of feeding in the North
western Farmer as follows:
l wish to add my testimony for the
above named crop for summer feed for
the dairy or other stock. That this
crop is not generally known to be val
liable as it is, 1 think we find proof
as we look among the dairymen who
practice summer feeding and see how
little of it is grown. At WestWo0d
stock farm, after all other small grains
were soWn one and three-fCurths acres
of peas and oats were sown in the ,ls,l-
al manner, the peas being plowel I'M
der at the rate Of one buGlel pnr acra
and, a few days after, the oats were
sown with seeder ~E"cadc.s. and har-
rowed in; oats sOwn at the r. te Of two
bushels per acre. The crop was rot
put in early, as there was eyiCence If
good pasture for some time. b1t nos
