Growing of Potatoes.

1t Is conceded by all growers of pota-
toes that while whole seed Is expensive,
yet the most vigorous growth, largest
yields and best quality Of tubers Is pro-
cured by planting whole seed. Should
too many stalks appear they may be
trimmed out. Some varieties thrive
better. on light soils and some on heavy
ground. for which reason new varie-
ties should not be entirely substituted
for old ones until tested.

Pruning the Ouipce Tree.

Pruning the Quince Tree.
One of the reasons why ounce trees
do not produce more fruit Is because
they are not pruned properly. Usually
there are about every neglected ounce
tree a number of sprouts that start
either from the base of the trunk or
from injured roots near the tree. These
should be removed, and the work
should be done while the tree Is In leaf,
as there will be less danger of new
sprouts starting up. Then when the
tree has been reduced to n single stem,
remove the short branches growing up
in a thicket In the center. Some Of
these may have fruit on, but do not
spare them for that. If the ounce
tree has been long neglected, there will
be more or less dead limbs, which have
been so long shaded by foliage above
them that they have died. All these
should be cut out. Air and light are as
necessary to the ounce as to any tree
that grows.

In the fall. as digging the soil at that

set the soil should be well packed
around It. and II for fence the boards
should be nailed on as soon as It f. set,
SO that they may not be warped out OF

sagging by digging a trench back Of
the gate and fastening In the post q
stake the length of the trench and COW

better protection than stakes leaning

1t up, as the stakes are themselves lift
ed up by frost and act as lever to
raise the post they lean against.
The Crescent turculio Mark.
Wherever a fruit Is stung by the cur
culio a crescent-shaped mark Is left
that gradually deadens the portion of
fruit enclosed, so that the sap will not
fow so freely. This deadening Of the
fruit will extend to the stem and loosen
its hold. Inside this crescent mark the
curculio egg will be found. 1t used to
be supposed that the curculio could not
lay its eggs without making this mark.
1t does not at least, but the two opera
tons are entirely separate. Instinct
teaches the ''little trick" to deaden the
skin In order to stop the flow of juices,
which might food and destroy the egg
she is about to lay. This deadening Of
the skin causes the fruit to ripen pre-
maturely. so that when the egg matches
the worm has ripened instead Of green
fruit to feed upon.

ugar Beets as Green Food for Hogs.
The best root for hogs is the beet. All
beets have more or less sugar, but 1t Is
better to grow the sugar beet, even
though 1t may not yield so largely as
do the large, coarse varieties. There is
no time in the growth of beets when
they are not acceptable food for hogs
confined to their pens. They are better
feed and more cheaply grown than clo-
yer, considering the waste of the clo-
yer when 1t Is either pastured or cut
and fed green, There Is little nutri-
ment in clover until 1t gets into bios
som. II fed then. hogs will nose the
clover over to get at the heads, and
will eat very little else. But the whole
of the beet. including the leaves, will
be eaten, provided the leaves are fresh.
Late Beets.
Late beets are Hxuries on the table,
and they may be obtained by sowing
seed now, but the ground should be
well prepared, rotted manure used and
fertilizer applied. so as to force the
young plants in growth. Only one
plant every three inches In each row
should be permitted. as they will not
thrive where the plants are too thick.
A few rows only will provide all that
may be wanted.
