Red ucing tho ScAb of Potatoes,

Scabby potatoes seem to be becom-
ing more aud more prevalent year by
year, and it is evident that farmers
must exercise all the wits they possess
il they keep clear of them. While I do
not itpute the fact that this malady is
caused by microbes, and may be
checked by the submerging the seed
in solutions which destroy them, find
that if the crop be planted so the
growth of tubers will come either be-
fore or after the hottest summer
weather, they largely escape the eff
fects of scab. By planting in this lati
tude central Pennsylvania as late as
June rs or July 4, the vines remain
green and healthy until frost, and per-
fectly clean tubers invariably result.
It is hardly practicable to grow oil
our potatoes as late as this, but here
is an idea which may be acted upon by
the farmers of this country to great adj
vantage. Healthy seed planted on
ground not affected will develop but
little scab in one year. Hereis a way
to get the healthy seed. Let every
farmer grow as late in the season as
possible enough tubers for his seed
stock the next spring. Carefully save
and plant only such seed and this
troublesome disease will become less
and less prevalent.
To keep seed pc tatoes in condition
for planting as late as July, it is neces.
sary to spread them thinly on the dool
Of some dry, lightroom. The sprouts
will then be short, thick and stocky,
and not break off if carefully handled
in planting. A little farther south two
crops are grown each season, and tn.
second is saved for early planting tn,
next spring. To do this it is neces
sary to dig the tubers, and let them Ii,
on the ground fully exposed to sun ant
air for a week or more. This season.
them and puts them in condition t,
grow at once when planted, which the,
would not do without this seasoning
process. I believe this idea If carriet
out by every Northern farmer wouli
be worth millions of dollars to thi
country. Will you not experiment
little along this line aud see how mucl
it may benefit you?-J. F. Tillinghast

For the past. FIVE years the Utah exper-
iment. station has been carrying on line
of investigation to determine at just what
time in its growth alfalfa should be cut
for best results, composition, annual yield
per acre, and feeding value all being taken
into account In connection with this work
the feeding value of such well known
roughage crops as timothy hay, corn fod-
der and red clover has been compared with
that of alfalfa.
For this experiment a field of alfalfa
was divided into three equal pieces, one
being regularly cut when the first blooms
appeared. the second when in fun bloom,
ana the third when half the blossoms had
fallen, these being denominated early, me-
dunn and late cuttings respectively. In
cidentaly there was made a comparison
of the first. second and third crops.
70 The details of this investigation are re-
ported in bulletin No. 81 of the Utah sta
zion, copy of which may be obtained by

Care of Tools.

Ihere ought to be a society for the pre-.
Ventlon of cruel and abusive use of farm
ing tools and machinery. When we see
moving machines and reapers sheltered in
winter under apple trees, plows and har-
rows in fence corners, and other tools just
where the owner left them when he used
them last, we feel indignant. We know
that 1t helps TO make trade good for the
manufacturer, and gives employment to
many men who must supply new tools in
place OF those rusted and broken, but We
Know that before the new ones are bought
many horse viii work harder on these
machines than he would have needed to
II they had been properly cared for, and
men and boys must work harder as well
ana do less effective work. Some tools,
we know, are not sheltered because the
owner has not roof enough to cover all
that he owns, but in more cases 1t is but
the result of carelessness This is one of
the leaks on the farm that prevents the
stream of prosperity from filing the farm
ers pockets and building up his bank ac-
count. Try to have them all housed be-
lore winter, and before spring comes have
them overhauled and cleaned, iron work
oiled, wood painted and every part in
working order to begin with the next sea-
son.

addressing the director at Logan. Below
are given the more important facts, to-
gether with the conclusions that may be
legitimately drawn from the results.
First. The largest annual yield of nay
per acre is obtained by the method of
early cutting and the lowest by the late,
the average result standing as follows:
Early cutting 100; medium, 81 and late s..
Second The early cut alfalfa contains
the highest per cent. OF protein and fat.
the most valuable food constituents, and
the lowest per cent. of crude fiber the
most indigestible portion. The former de-
crease constantly, while the latter in
creases rapidly from early bloom to the
full maturity of the plant.
Third. The proportiOnate amount of
leaves 10 stems is greater at early bloom
than at any subsequent time, and both
leaves and stems contain a greater per
cent of protein and less per cent of
crude fiber a this time than at any later
period in the growth of the plant The
relative proportion of leaves to stems in
the different cuttings is as follows: Early,
AZ to So; medium. 40 to 30; late, 80 to 81.
Fourth Alfalfa leaves as compared with
stems are very much richer in protein,
fat and nltrogen-free extract, and they
contain much smaller proportion of
crude fiber. The per cent. of the protein
and fat grows constantly less and>that of
the crude fiber greater from the time of
early bloom TO maturity. The average
composition of all cuttings and crops
shows the leaves to contain $50 per cent
more protein than the stems, 800 per cent.
more fat, 80 per cent. more nitrogen free
extract and 256 per cent less crude fiber
Fifth. The more important nutrients,
protein and fat, have the highest per cent.
Of digestibilty In Inc early cuttings, and
1t grows less and less with the age of the
plant.
Sixth. In the feeding tests, the highest
gains were made from the early cuttings
and the lowest from the late, the results
standing proportionately as follows Early
cutting 100; medium, 49, and late, 75
seventh. The variation in tfle amount of
the different cuttings eaten per day was
very slight, being the highest for the early
cutting and the lowest for the late but
the quantity of dry matter and also of
digestible matter required for a pound of
gain was decidedly lowest for the early
cutting and highest for the late, the rela-
tive amounts of dry matter standing as
follows: Early cutting, 100; medium, 49,
and late, 1866
Eighth. The annual beef product per
acre was largest from the early cuttings,
not only in the general average but In
each separate seasons test and that from
the late cuttings was smallest the pro-
portional products stands as follows:
Early cutting, 100; medium, 1872; and late,
G91a
Ninth. Taking all points of comparison
into consideration, both separately and
collectively, including everything that per.
tains to the largest yield and highest feed
ing value, the tests favor cutting alfalfa
for cattle feeding when the first blooms
appear.

THE CONVICTION OF TAYLOR.
Perry Is Now on Trial and He Also
May Go Up for Life.

May Go Up for Life.
Washington, Ga, Nov. 11.-TaySor, as
has been stated in the Morning News, has
been sentenced for killing Dennard, the
convict guard, and sentenced to life
Imprisonment. Perry is now being
tried. His sentence win no doubt
be the same, or lighter 1t will
be remembered that w. T. Adams of this
county, had hired some convicts from an
Elberton camp, and was working them on
his own farm, with his own guard. Perry
and Taylor were TRUSTEES, and did the
cooking. On the day of the murder, Den
nard called them to bring him some salt
and hot water for the cooking, Taylor
says Dennard struck him, and threatened
ITO beat hell out Of him." and he (Taylor),
picked up Il stick of wool, and struck him
a blow, which killed him.
The convicts then all escaped together.
The points in contention were whether
IL was a legal camp, and whether Il was
a conspiracy or done in the heat Of the
moment Taylor has always maintained
that Perry had nothing to do with it. If
IL had not been for the efforts of Hon,
Horace Holden ard Alex Stephens, of At.
lanta, in getting the decision reversed, the
negroes would have been hanged several
months ago.
