Farm Notes.

A Texas market gardener claims that
sweet potatoes grown from vine cut
tings are smoother and nicer than those
grown from slips or sprouts. His
method of securing early sweet pota-
toes is to gather the vines before frost
has injured them and hang them on a
pole, the ends of which rest in crotches
or forks some two feet above the
ground. Cover the ends of he vines
with moist earth and throw straw,
leaves or corn talk over the whole
and protect from the rain by a good
shed, with the north side boarded up.
As cold weather approaches he, for
better protection, throws more soil
upo the base of the heap n more
straw on the upper portion, leaving the
south end, or better still, the top, partly
open during warm spells for ventila-
ton. This plan (Which is similar to
banking the tubers) will keep vines
alive all the winter and ready for early
planting in the spring.-Farmers
Magazine.
The old farms in Canada that COM
mand the highest prices are said to be
those on which sheep have been kept
from the time they were first occupied.
The pastures on them are
lively free from bushes and weeds,
while the soil is firm and productive
of the best sort of grasses. A farm on
which a large number of sheep have
been kept for many years is very desir-
able for dairy n other purposes. The
lesson of the value of sheep is one
that farmers seem to earn but slow
ly.

Late-cut hay is not an ideal food for
dairy stocks owing to the large increase
of indigestible woody fibre which oc-
ours as the crop approaches maturity.
Roller process bran is, on the aver
age, better than ~old-process bran. Fran
is rich in ash or mineral matter, which
renders it a suitable food for growing
animals. 1t serves we'll with all foods
which are lacking in lime or bone
forming material, and is valuable in
the manure heap. 1t may not be equal
to linseed meal or some other foods
for certain purposes, but it is a food
that should be always used.
Two pounds each of cornmeal. cot
tonseed meal and gluten meal. ten
pounds corn ensilage and as much
timothy hay as they want is recon-
mended by the Maine station as a
satisfactory ration for milch cows, to

would doubtless prefer to substitute
bran for cottonseed meal.
1t is not difficult to test seeds be-
fore planting them. There are several
methods of so doing. One is to count
off 100 seeds and place them on sheets
of plotting paper laid on sand, keeping
the paper damp in a place where the
temperature is from rs to So degrees.
The number of seeds terminating will
indicate the PERCENTAGE of good ones.
Another plan is to place the seeds on
a piece of flannel, in a saucer, with
sufficient water to thoroughly moisten
it. After scattering 100 seeds over the
flannel place a piece of damp plotting
paper over the whole and put the sau-
Ger in a warm room. Keep 1T moist
and in a short time the live seeds viii
terminate and begin to sprout.
