In answer to question as to the best
method of planting potatoes The Farm
Journal advises l. All things consid-
cred, we prefer to plant in drills rather
than in hills, the drills being az or 3
feet apart, according to soil and vari-
ETY., and the seed being dropped 10 to
Is inches apart. 3. We have always
been able to grow satisfactory crops by
spreading fertilizer in the bottom of
drill and mixing it with the soil before
putting in the seed. 3. The number of
eyes to leave on seed piece depends a
great deal on the variety and ON the size
of the seed tubers. Heavy settlers require
fewer eyes than varieties that are less
prolific in tuhels When small tubers
are used for seed, more eyes must be
left on the piece than when the tubers
are large. We usually cut early potatoes
when large to one or two eyes, but
White Stars and similar kinds have
done well for us when we have used
medium tubers cut in half or planted
whole.

AS there is no remedy known for bac-
terial rot of cabbage, prevention must
be relied upon. These measures are rec
commended in The National Stockman
and Farmer by Professor Stuart of the
Indiana station;
Avoid planting in land on which in
fected plants have been grown. Several
years may be necessary to rid the land
of the germs.
Do not use manure containing de-
cayed cabbage leaves or stalks either in
the seeded or field.
Wet land should be avoided, as it ia
vors the development of the disease.
Keep the plants as free from insects
as possible.
Remove and destroy all diseased
plants or portions of the plant as soor
as diseased condition is noticed.

and in the one-h half inch deep plant the
roots and the stalk or the lower end of
the stalk are formed together. In the
two inch deep plant there is small
root that connects the base or lower
end of stalk with the head of the cluster
of roots.
''If You examine a wheat plant that
has been frozen out, you will find that
there is no cluster of roots, but simply
the stalk cut off as shown at A in Fig
Q, but i'll Fig | the cluster of roots and
base of the plant are together and are
nearer to the top of the ground, and
they draw up with the plant as the
frost heaves the ground up and are not
broken. | think the proper way is to
cover wheat very shallow, just SO it is
covered on ground that is inclined to
be wet and heaves ont by freezing, but
on ground that is well drained and that
is not inclined to freeze ont the plant
Fig. is all right and will stand the
dry weather the best; consequently
drained land is the hest and more sure
to raise crop, and shallow sowing is
the best on undrained land.
Commenting upon the foregoing COM
munication from a subscriber, the Ohio
Farmer remarks:
When the seed is planted deep two
sets of roots are produced, one from the
bulb at lower end of stalk and one from
the seed grain below This is really the
ease whether the seed is planted deep

or shallow, but in the latter case they
are close together and form one cluster
to all appearance. Hence in land that
heaves up, shallow sowing is best, as the
roots form mass near the surface and
heave up with the soil and settle back
again when frost goes out. In deep SOW
ing the stem is broken in two between
the primary and secondary roots.

ARMY MULES KILLED.
Animals Mangled to Death on Trans

The United States transport Siam.
which left San Francisco Sept. with
upward of $50 valuable mules. the com
ing of which had been anxiously awaited
at Manila. as mules are in great demand
for continuing the campaign, arrived FRI
day morning and reported that all but
nineteen of the animals had been lost in
two severe typhoons under peculiarly dis
tressing conditions. The Siam, which left
Honolulu thirty-one days previous. en-
countered the typhoons early last week.
One lasted forty hours. Most of the for
age, which was on deck, was swept over
board, all the boats were smashed and the
steamer rolled tremendously in the trough
of the sea, although the officers made ev-
cry effort to bring her about. The mules
were hurled from side to side and fright
fully manged. Their legs and necks were
broken and the wretched animals fell in
such confused mass that the attend
ants were unable to relieve them. In the
meantime the deck load was washed off,
the ship lightened and the rolling in
creased When the storm abated the in
jured animals were killed and their car
casses thrown overheard. When the Siam
arrived her propeller was high out of the
water and the wrecks of her boats We're
hanging from the davits.
The loss of the animals will be greatly
felt by Gen. Otis, who needed them for
transportation OF supplies to the cities
and towns held by the American troops.
Gen. Otis recently cabled the War De-
partment that the animals shipped would
he sufficient to meet all requirements I'M
til the animal transports could return TO
San Francisco for more, so that it was
unnecessary to charter more freight yes
sells. 1t will now be necessary to procure
another ship to leave as soon as possible
with more mules.

Having determined to act on the in

committing a distinct act of war. The
campaign now begun may have far-resch-

driven out of South Africa, or the Beers
may be reduced to their old position as
a British dependency. The former re-
suit would be but the beginning of the
