should be covered with earth, to a
depth of about an inch, leaving the ends
of the vines just out of the ground.
With good cultivation the vines will
grow rapidly and the earthing process
must be continued. They will continue
to grow until frost comes, and then they
should be lifted from the ground. Leave
the nuts clinging to the vines, in which
condition they must be thoroughly

good culture and luck a quart may be

QUEER FISHING IN JAMAICA.
You Pound on the Boat with a Club
and They Jump Aboard.

You Pound on the Boat with a Club
and They Jump Aboard.
A gentleman who has returned from
Kingston, Jamaica, tells how they
catch "red snappers." All you need in
the way of tackle is club, with which
you beat tattoo on the side of your
| boat. This seems to charm the fish so
that they leave their native element
and jump aboard in schools, almost
swapping the boat sometimes. Here
is his account:
Il have just returned from Kings
ton, Jamaica" said he, where l saw
many interesting things, chief among
them-tO an ardent fisherman like my
self-being the method of taking the
red snapper, large fish common to the
waters around that island. Soon after
my arrival l heard how the natives
caught these fish with clubs, which
seemed either to attract or alarm the
fish SO much that they jumped out Of
the water in all directions and many
fell into the boat.
''In order to prove the truth or false
ness of the account to my own salts
faction made arrangements with one
of the native fishermen to take me with
him on one of his midnight excursions,
all the fishing there being done at night
on account of the heat.
1.-THE moon was high when we start
ed for the fishing grounds, a couple of
miles outside Kingston harbor. AS
soon as we got there my boatman
ceased rowing and peered round for
signs of the fish. Suddeny he whis-
pered and pointed to a spot where the

"Squall or fish, it was gradually ap-
preaching, and presently the ripples
were all round the boat. Now, massa
Buckra, start de racket cried my boat
man, at the same time commencing
loud tattoo on the side of the boat with
his club. / followed suit, and in an in
slant the air seemed to be full of fish,
coming from all points of the compass.
lone big fellow struck me in the chest
and knocked me fiat on my back in the
bottom of the boat, where lay f1oun-
dering among the fish that had fallen
aboard.
at was some moments before l
could scramble to my feet. When did,
so, the school had passed on and the
flight was over. At least score of the
snappers had fallen on board. They
were large fish, resembling sea bass,
except in color, which, instead of being
| black, was red.
During the night we ran into sew
eral more schools, and the same per-
Torrance was repeated, excepting that
kept my seat and did not again min
| GLE with the fish in the bottom of. the
boat.
ION the way back to Kingston
asked the darby fisherman how they
first discovered this method of taking
the red snapper. He could tell me moth
| ing about it; all he could say being:
Him take dat way long time, massa.
Il heard later that Chinaman was
the first to discover that red snap
per could be persuaded to leave IT'S
native element at the sound of a cluh
applied to a boats side, but how ne
found it out nobody seemed to know.

Covering for Potatoes.

There is always considerable argu-
ment as to whether covering potato
seeds deeply by the ridge method when
planting or covering shallow is the bet
ter plan There is little doubt but that
ON light and rather sandy soils the
ridge covering is entirely proper, but
experiments have shown that on heavi-
er soils, especially on clayey soils, the
shallow covering is best. That is, the
tubers are planted and covered very
shallow SO that the bud would be near
the light, which means a good start.
The furr0w is made deep, and as the
plant grows the soil is drawn toward
it until the furrOw is filed level with
the surrounding surface. 1t will be
found that the crop is much easier to
harvest. particularly where a machine
is used, for it is almost impossible to
work a digger i'm heavy soil where the
tubers were set deep. General direc-
tons count for little in such work as
the above, for the farmer can learn
more to his own satisfaction on his
own grounds in a single season than
by reading the arguments on both sides
for year.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Future Wheat Crops.

And now Sir William Crookes of En-
gland is figuring out a~future scarcity
of food, or at least of the wheat sup
ply. He says that in 1897 -9S the wheat
crop of the United States was $4,000
600 bushels, and with less than 10000
600 population, we were able to export
2l1. 100000 bushels to Europe. But by
1881 we shall have 100000 600 people to
feed in the United States and will have
no surplus to export, and the millions
in Europe must go hungry if there is
not some other source of supply, which
he sees no prospect of there being. We
are not worried, because we do not eX-
pect to be here in 1881, but some of our
readers Of to-day probably will be, and
they will probably see much larger
surplus of wheat for export than there
is now. If NO larger area is soE'n then
than now, We have little doubt that
better methods of selecting seeds, fer
tilizing the land and caring for the
crops will before that time give us a
crop which will be double the average
amount per acre grown in 1897. If
from OfU,OOO,OOO OuSIlclS we COuiu sell
217 100000, besides feeding 10000, 900
people at home and seeding our land,
from 1850 100000 bushels we can feed
$50. 100000 people at home and then
have about 4OOOOO,OOO bushels to sell.
Nor will it do to leave the great north
west of British America, or the broad
steppes of Russia now lately opened
up by the railroad to China, out of the
calculation. Their productive capacity
is almost incalculable, and we think no
one living now, will ever see the time
when the worlds supply of wheat will
not be sufficient to feed the worlds pop
ulation, if it can be properly distrib-
nted

Country Grain Weights.

Because of the lack of uniformity in
legal weights of the measured bushel,
them in selling to country buyers. For
example, i'm some instances shipper
at country elevator will require 80 to
50 pounds harley to the bushel in l,uy
ing from the farmer, while weighing
out only As pounds to the bushel in
selling it ON the Chicago market. The
same is true of oats and other cereals,
Of onions, ETC. The difference may not
be much ON single wagon load, but in
the crops Of a year means many dol
lars. Farmers should understand what
is the legal weight and refuse to de-
liver more i'm selling to the local dealer.

unslacked Lime for Rats.

A correspondent of the Country Gen
tleman says that to keep rodents out
of oats, ''take unslacked lime, just
sprinkle it over the floor or platform
ON which one will put his grain, then
layer Of sheaves and another liberal
spread of lime. Continue in like man
ner, lining each layer of grain to the
last, not smOthering the last layer, and
that is all there is to it. / keep rats
and mice out of my corn cribs in the
same way and It is invariably sue
cess. I also keep large quantities of
unthreshed oats in barn free from rats
and mice the same way. One barrel Of
unslacked lime is enough for 1000 or
3OOO bushels of corn or eight tons of
sheaf oats"

Csrn M Poultry Food.

Poultry writers inveigh too much
against corn as poultry food. There is
no single grain that can take its place.
All corn, of course, is not so good as
variety, but half corn and half 'vari-
ety. is un0blectioEabIe, and the proper
ton of corn may be increased beyond
that ratio without anything resembling
disaster. When fattening for market
corn is not only the best but the cheap
est food known The universal prefer
ence of chickens for corn whole or in

is Of the greatest Importance. OF
course it must be of such kind as will
secure dryness, cleanliness and safety.
All these are attached to the two kinds
of coop here shown; the first is in every
respect desirable, and if kept in a dry
spot from which the water will flow off
in all directions, as the top of small
knoll, it will satisfy every need of the
chicks. Indeed this kind Of coop makes

A good whitewash is made by put
ting piece Of lime weighing about five
pounds in granite pan or bucket.
Pour ON it gallon of water, allow it to
boil and slack until the steaming is
over; then take from this two quarts
of the liquid lime, put it in a wooden
or granite bucket and add sufficient
water to make it rather thin. Add a
small amount of pure indigo sufficient
to give it the proper color; add a tea
spoonful of salt and half a teaspoonful
Of lanapbIack; stir well. If you wish it
colored, add one of the colorings

means of safety to the old bird and the

1t is better without, as every new loca-
