Irish Potatoes.

Irish potatoes are grown in hills or
ridges or In trenches, according to local
conditions, says the Philadelphia Ledg-
er. In New Jersey the trench gives
best results, except in very moist sit
uations. The reason in It Is the roots
are deep down when started. AS the
plant grows the soil is drawn from
either side about 1t, letting It keep only
its head above until the level is reach
ed, when 1t Is let grow, aud the vigor
in 1t soon gives the leaf growth that
covers the soil and prevents the weeds
getting q hold. Very early potatoes
come to market from New Jersey by
sprouting the seed indoors In sand or
In molstened blankets or even in warm
cellars, cutting to the sprOut, setting
In trenches in warm spots and when
there is danger Of frost covering the
head entirely over with the earth or
with straw. 1t Is trouble, but for the
market gardener with the fancy trade
or the home grower with his little gar
den It pays.

FOR THE FARMER.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.


The Maryland experiment station
has published some experiments with
feeding pigs. Some Of the important
results are:
Il was found that with some ratiOns
the gains on pigs could be produced as
low as 215 cents per pound.
In all the tests where properly COM
pounded ratIons were used pork was
produced at n profit when the pigs
were not allowed to become too old.
The cost Of producing q pound OF
pork Increases with the age of a pig.
The aim should be to produce from
100 TO 200 pound pigs Mt to months
old for the greatest profit
SkImmllk was found TO have a feed
ing value for pigs equal to fully double
the price charged at most Of the cream
cries Of the state.
Separator skimmllk at One-half cent
per gallon and llnseed and gluten meals
ut $15 per ton have about the same
value for balancing rations for pig
feed.
Cream or king gluten meal was found
to be more economical for balancing
ratlons for pigs than llnseed meal.
Ground fodder, such as the new corn
product, was found to be valuable
addition to ratlons for pigs.

AauIternted Feeds.

The director of the Maine experiment
station gives out notice that much adul-
terated feeding stuff has been sold In
Maine during the past six months I'M
der the names Of winter wheat bran,
winter wheat mixed feed, etc, which
have heretofore been allowed to pass
without inspection and analysis. They
are found to contain refuse from broom
corn factories, corncobs and similar
materials, and instead Of having, as
good bran should have, about 10 per
cent protein they have from 9.6 to II
per cent and thus are worth from less
than two-thirds to three-fourths the
value of pure bran. Hereafter such
goods must be branded and guaranteed
according to their actual composition.

blended Flour,

At an Illinois farmers institute an
object lesson was given in the value Of
blended -four. says The Rural New
Yorker. Wheat flour mixed with
cornmeal was made into biscuits,
which were given away and eaten.
The use of corn with wheat cheapens
the -four without lowering its nutri-
tive value, and, II sold as blended
-four, It would supply an honest prod
uct at a cheaper rate than wheat only.
The corn producing states are natural
ly interested In any effort to increase
the use of their cereal. Only let 1t be
described as blended -FOUR" instead Of
masqueradlng as wheat alone. We now
have a law compelling such -four TO
be stamped and branded. Like the
cleo fraud, all these adulterators want
to make cheap counterfeit, to be sold
as a genuine article.

Wheat Bran.

The farmer who grows wheat eau
make a good profit In selling his wheat
and buying wheat bran to feed out,
says American Cultivator. The pound
Of wheat will nearly pay for two
pounds Of bran, and the bran If sweet
and In good condition Is worth more
per pound to feed to cows In milk,
those soon to calve, to growing young
stock, sows In pig or for sheep before
lambIng and while lambs are with
them than the whole wheat would be.
II 1t is not fattening or heating enough
at other times, the wheat can be sold
and corn bought and still leave a bal
ance In pocket. 1t is much like selling
the butter fat from the milk and feed
ing calves or pigs on skimmilk, which
is better for them and has not so high
a selling value. II more fat is wanted,
a little linseed meal or faxseed tea
will give 1t at less cost than butter fat.

Dates Must Not Conflict.

Chairman A. G. Batchelder Of the
National Cycling association board OF
control. has determined that there Will
be no conflict In the matter of dates
between the big cycle tracks this year.
This sort OF pickering between the
promoters has been found detrimental
to the sport and 1t has been tabooed.
While at Boston recently Chairman
Batchelder informed the managers OF
the Waltham and Charles River tracks,
which are quite near together, that 1t
would be well for them to divide this
years holiday dates and not fall to
fighting over them. and they concluded
to accept his suggestion.
1t is probable that Jay Eaton and
Archie McEachern, the cycle racers,
will be matched soon for series Of
races at the Yailsburg track, Newark,
N. J., early this season. These matches
will include both sprints and paced dis
lance races. Eaton will probably win
the sprints, but the distance and pur-
suit races will undoubtedly 60 to Nc
Eachern. In all Of the events the en-
tire purse and the side bet will go to
the winner.

THE SPORTING WORLD.

If you ask "Spike" Sullivan where
he broke into the fighting business, he
will tell you at Klnsale, Ireland. If
you ask him the name Of the first man
he ever fought, he will tell you Dan
Kelly. If you ask him how long the
fight lasted, he will tell you nine
rounds. If you ask him what club
pulled off the fight, you are in danger
Of getting a funny punch in the chops.
There is a story connected with Sulli-
vans first fight.
spike" was about 10 years old when
he got his initial try out. 1t was with
bare knuckles, In front Of an old tay-
ern. at Kinsale. One day Spikes" IA
Their told him to take the family horse
down to the tavern for water. Spike"
Jumped on the nag's neck and gave the
beast a few jolts In the TANKS with his
brogans, and away he went down the
road. On the way down e neighbours
boy, with whom "Splke" was not on
friendly terms, brushed by the steed
that Spike" was steering and made
some remark about Sulllvan's mount
being too lazy to trot his way to the
water. Spike" at once made a propO-
sition for a race, and 1t was accepted.
The race was run. and It seems the re-
mark about Spikes" horse being lazy
carried a good deal Of truth with 1t.
Sullivan's steed was beaten of, and
when "Spike" arrived at the trough the
nelghbor's boy gave him the Joyous
giggle.
$50 We bate me-" said spike" $50
I did that" replied the neighbours boy.
"Wel. thin, We Diver saw the day ye
could bate me with these" exclaimed
"Splke," exhibiting his mauleys proud
ly. "Be COB, I'm not the one that
won't tryr'
With this remark the neighbours boy
Jumped on spike" and knocked him
down. spike" was up in hurry and
soon put his man out. That was Dan
Kelly, who at the present day heads
Spike" Sullivan's very creditable rec
ord.
"How many rounds did you fight Dan
Kelly at KinsaleT asked q frlenl NJ
Sullivan, after he had heard about
Spikes" start in the hstlc game.
"Nlne rounds" replied Spike" "Nine
roundsP' his friend asked In astonish-
ment. "How In the world did you ever
count the rounds In fight like that,
with no referee. seconds or timersr
''You see, 1t was this way" "Spike"
started OF. 81 figured 1t out that l
knocked Kelly down nine times. Nine
times, you see, at that time meant nine
rounds" "How do you explain thatT
his friend inquired. "Why, that's easy.
We fought under London prize ring
rules. Nine knockdowns was nine
rounds to be sure, and had no trouble
in counting the knockdOwns. All, 1t
was a great folght. I'll niver fOrgiS It,"

He would appoint church cabinet and
the same rule would be followed out, vir-
tually to the lowest Office holder. 1t is to a
great extent the way now, where Catholics
control appoin tments. here in Washington.
