These potatoes were grown on upland
clay, hard and tenacious, better adapt
ed to marble making than to potato
growing. With blowing and thorough
pulverzation with roller, disk, spring
tooth harrow and plank drag, the soil
was perfectly fined and mellowed to
the depth of five or six inches, except
the check or No. 2 plat which was
given only the ordinary preparation OF
the average farmer.
The seed cut to two eyes was planted
with an application of high grade COM
plete potato manure on both plats. In
a few days the weeder was used on
plat No. 1, followed by three harrow
ings at intervals. After that nitrate of
soda was applied, followed by two
civilizations on each of the two sue
ceeding weeks and another application
of nitrate Of soda the following week.
Bordeaux mixture was used, further
cultivation given, and q third applica-
ton Of nitrate was given just as the
vines came into bloom.
Plat No. was cultivated four times,
had one application of paris green, but

TURNIPS IN THE CORN.

Two Good Crops Grown Together.
Sow About the Middle of July.
have been sowing turnip seed in
my cornfield for nearly so years. One
year I sowed 80 pounds of seed on 80
acres and harvested about 10000 bush
els Of turnips and q good crop Of corn,
says a writer In Orange Judd Farmer.
Plant the corn In straight rows and
keep the cultivator going until about
the middle Of July, then. sow the tur-
nip seed directly after the last cultiva-
ton. If two or three dashing showers
fall In a week or so, no covering is
needed. II my ground Is ready and
showers are In prospect, l hasten to
SOW my seed. If no rain comes, the
seed must be lightly covered, much as
you would clover seed. Two or three
boards fastened together and drawn
between the rows Of corn cover the
seed very nicely.
A strap leaved turnip of the best
variety will grow almost anywhere
provided the plant can get start.
want my turnips for feeding all the
way from September to February, and
l want lot of them. Bushel for bush
ell they are worth more than mangels
during this time. Give the cattle and
sheep plenty Of turnips, and no medi-
cine will be needed.
Turnips should be stored as near the
stock as possible, SO they can be easily
fed. Any place where ventilation can
be controlled and where frosts can be
kept out will answer. l have a cellar
under the driveway Of nay barn 16 by
80 by 10 feet, which l nave filled with
roots more than once. Be careful, how
ever. not to put any turnips into your
cellar after they have been out on the
ground on frosty night. A few bush
els injured by freezing will start heat
that will destroy all Of them.

Shallow Cultivation For Corn.

We do not believe in deep cultivation
for corn after 1t has grown more than
three or four inches high. By that
time 1t has begun to seed its roots out;
hence to work the soil deep after this
has begun is to break those roots and
to check the growth. There may be a
period in the growth Of plant or tree
when a root pruning is beneficial, but
SO little Is known about it that we do
not care to experiment with it in q
haphazard way. But in a year like the
present deep cultivation is likely to
break more corn roots than in q dry
and warmer season. The corn root needs
moisture, but not too much, and 1t de-
lights in the heat of the sun. 1t Is
thus likely to run much nearer the sur
face than it would have done II we
had been favored with more warm days
and less rain. Working the soil as
deep as the manure used will make it
fertile before planting the seed and as
thoroughly as possible after the corn
begins to grow, but not more than
three Inches deep between the rows,
and in a season like this we would pre-
fer not to 60 more than two inches
deep, says American Cultivator.

EATING FISH.

1t is not good form to ask for sec
ond helping of fish.
1t is considered extremely bad form
to use knife in dissecting fish.
4 little modern fish knife. with an In
genious fork arrangement on one side,
is now made.
A bit Of lemon is served with broiled
and baked fish, and it is in correct form
to use the fingers in expressing the
juice.
Potatoes are considered q proper &C
cessory to the fish course.
Sliced cucumbers. with plain French
dressing, are also served.
With a boiled fish the potatoes are
also usually boiled, cut into bits or
scooped out and garnished with little
melted butter and chopped parsley.
Never use the fingers to separate the
bones from the eatable portion Of fish.
The bones must be evaded with such
dexterity as one can command without
other aid than such as a bit Of bread
held in the left hand may furnish.

disagreeable features and after good
nights rest arrives in New York next
day in good shape for sightseeing,
