Harvesting sweet POTATOES.

d. M. Nesbit, in Farmers Bulletin,
l29, says: A small crop of sweet pota-
Toes may be thrown out by common
turning plow provided with revolv-
lnS coulter or other device for cutting
the vines, but such p1ow leaves many
Oh the tubers covered, and the labor
of gathering them is much greater than
when a special sweet potato pillow is
used. In large operations one of the
most efficient implements for harvest
ing is the scoop digger" which passes
uhuer the tubers and sewers all roots,
Dut leaves the plant, with vines and
1oots cut, In the same position it occu-
pied before. The tubers remain at
tached to the stem and are easily and
rapidly lifted out of the ground. They
are then left to dry several hours be-
lore gathering. In hot weather they
should not be long exposed to the sun.
This method leaves the vines uncov-
cred. and it is easy to gather them for
STOCK feeding. The tubers are sorted
IN Two sizes and laid carefully (not
throWn) into baskets which hold one
NTH OF barrel. They are hauled in
these baskets to the potato house, or
to the buyer at the railroad station or
steamboat landing. The small roots
are left on the field or gathered for
feeding stock. 1t is of prime impor-
lance to avoid cutting the tubers in
digging or bruising them afterwards
by rough handling.
The yield Of sweet potatoes varies
widely according to variety, quality of
land, season, fertilizers, culture, etc.
Under favorable conditions, in check
planting barrel of primes from 100
hills is good yield, or a barrel from
10 plants Is inches apart in a row.
In a good crop there may be barrel
OF seconds to every barrels of primes,
more or less. according to the meth
od OF sorting. Extremes of yield go
FAR above and drop as far below the
figures here given.
1t will be understood that only
sweet potatoes of good quality for
table use are referred to in this esti-
mate Some of the coarser varieties
used for stock feeding, or even the
finer varieties grown in rich land,
where they are apt to be deficient in
quality, may be expected to yield 400
or 500 bushels per acre.

In Germany tests were made to as
certain the effect of number of fac
tors upon the composition of Bor-
deaux mixture, as shown by the sep
aration of the different mixtures upon
standing. Among the experiments
were those to determine the effect of
iron sulphate, which is commonly
present in commercial copper sulphate
different quantities and qualities of
lime; different concentrations of mix
lures; order Of combining the solu-
lions, and temperatures of solutions.
The presence of iron sulphate was
found to cause a more rapid separation
of the liquid. Within the limit of the
experiments, separation was inverse
ly proportional to the amount of cop
per sulphate used. The quality OF
lime affected the mixture very appreci-
ably, the mixture containing the best
lime precipitating the slowest. The
proportion of lime eXerted the same
effect as the amount of copper. Fresh,
well-slaked lime gave a better mix.
ture than poorly slaked, but fresh, air.
slaked lime was about it's equal. Old
er air-slaked lime produced mixture
that separated very rapidly. Allowing
the milk of lime to stand for two days
was practically without effect upon the
different mixtures, the results with
milk of lime that had been exposed to
the air being almost identical with
freshly made. Bordeaux mixture made
by pouring the lime into the copper
solution was much inferior to the
others. Where the copper mixture was
poured into the lime, and where both
mixtures were poured into a third
vessel, the mixture was about the
same. Heat was found to cause a sep
aration in the mixture in proportion
to the increase Of temperature

BATH THAT IS HEALrnFuL.

The most refreshing bath in sum
mer is the cold plunge, but some con-
situations cannot stand it. A warm
stub" with a sponge bath of cold water
to follow is a modification adapted to
less robust constitutions. To many
persons even that is not beneficial' and
warm or tepid water is best. 1t is al
ways advisable to consult ones physi-
clan in regard to the kind most help
full says the Evening Star. Healthy
people may take tepid bath Zone in
which the temperature varies from SO
to 80 deg.) twice a day-when they
rise and when they retire. They
should remain in the tub not longer
than ten minutes. For delicate per-
sons this bath should be INDUCED in
but once day-before breakfast
Healthy persons may substitute for the
tepid bath the cold bath Temperature
from 80 to rs deg), while delicate ones
should never risk it for eore than

ropn..t.on and c..... Supply.

While twenty states made gains on
the number Of cattle for 1900, yet only
two states had greater number OF
cattle than in 1892. There were TO-
165,l76 more cattle in 1892 than in
1900, and while we are losing these
10,165,176 cattle we are increasing our
population 10,500,000 for these eight
years, as our population was 65,4
900 in 1892 and 75,0O0,OO0 in 1900. We
thus had S2S cattle for each 1000 in
habitants in 1892 and 5S5 cattle per
1000 population in 1900, being loss
of 241 cattle per 1000 population, or
about 26 per cent of reduction on our
ratio.
To maintain our present ratio Of cat
tie in 1903, when our population will
reach SO,000,0O0, we should have 49,
100000 cattle, or a net gain of 1,000,-
900 annually. Our average annual de-
crease for these eight years on cattle
was 1,27O,60O.
In 1892 the number of cattle was a.
O67,O00; population, 65,450.O0: ratio,
S26; in 1900 number of cattle, 43,9O2.-
900; population, 100000; ratio. 5s5.
The above includes all cattle.
In 1920 at our present increase, our
population will reach 100,00O,O0O and
even to have 500 cattle per 1000 pop
ulation our cattle must increase 6,OOO,-
600 and to maintain our present ratio
we must have in 1920 So, SOC, 900 head of
cattle.
When we begin to gain about 1,000,-
600 annually we are getting in a po-
sition to simply maintain our ratio on
cattle, and when our increase is only
100000 annually we are preparing to
have only 500 cattle per 1000 in 1920.
The lowest price of meat cattle oc-
Cured in 1891, being s14.76 per head.
against $14,76 per head in 1900. The
loss in number has been more than
made up in price, being SIG in value
per inhabitant, against $14 in 1892.
A view by states is perplexing. For
while Ohio gained $4,000 and Iowa 49,
600 for 1900. Illinois lost $4,000; In
diana $4,000, Kentucky $4,000, Tennes-
see $4,000, Missouri $4,000, Texas 1885,
600 for 1900. Every southern state is
losing at about the same rate for 1900
for the past eight years on cattle.
So when the agricultural department
issued it's stock bulletins for 1901, an
nouncing less than 44,6OO,OOO cattle of
all kinds, 45,30O,0OO for 1892, the farm
ers can depend on TIE ratio to be still
on the decline on cattle.-William
Adams in Indiana Farmer.

MADE up-ro.nArE.


A teacher in public school up in
the Hundreds tells this:
I'm one of my classes" she said,
was a young woman who had a way
of applying modern ideas to old SUBJ
jects which now and then smashed an
idol. On one occasion 1 asked her to
wrltean exercise on any ruin she might
select. The next day she brought in
the following:
" If thou would'st view fair Melrose
Alright
Take kodak and visit it by daylight
This prompted another in the class
to turn in this:
In Venice Tasso's echoes are no
more,
And silent rows the songless gon-
dolier,
But at the quay he plays the mandolin
To ragtime music, not by note, but
ear
"The young women evidently
thought they had struck a rich mine
in my suggestion, for at the next call
one of them handed in this:
tbs sweet to hear the Dachshund
in the dark
Whine welcome as we draw near
home, sweet home.
IT'S nice to know the Dachshund
doesn't bark
Or make unseemly racket when we
come
"Well, l saw I had made a mistake,
and Immediately informed the class
that it might in the future confine it's
nominations to scenes on Manhattan

falfa is perennial plant, and once
we'll established will last a number OF
years, from four to ten or more. de-
pending upon the character of the soil
and the treatment Of the plant in ref
erence to manuring and methods of
cutting. The annual upright and
branching stems, when cut, do not
sprout, but die back to the crown.
when new shoots start and grow rapid
ly." Doubtless in climates such as
that of New Jersey, the plant succumbs
more quickly to adverse conditions
than in a climate of unclouded sun
and abundant heat.
There is, however, a problem con-
nected with its growth that has not yet
been entirely settled. No matter how
well it may grow in the semi-arid area
it sometimes shows decided tendency
not to do we'll in the more moist states.
Recently the writer saw at Southern
Pines, North Carolina, large field of
alfalfa. The ground seemed to be suit
able for it, and it was learned that
the seed bed for the alfalfa had been
well prepared and enriched, but the
growth was meager. At the time of
the visit the owner had ordered bar
rel Of soil from Kansas from a field in
which the cultures that work on the
roots of alfalfa were supposed to be
abundant. He hoped by the introduce
ton of these germs to cause larger
growth. The soil on which it was
growing was sandy, but rich. Doubt
less the same problem of root bacteria
that applies to the growth of the Glow
ers applied here.

few soft surls are drawn, and the
effect with some types of faces Is exc
cellent. Floral decorations for the
evening couture may be worn on either
side Of the head. This style, however.
does not suit all faces, says the Even
ing Star.
The very latest design in coats Isl
that known as lne Louis Quinze. 1t 1s
made Of lowered silk, with velvet
revers and elbow sleeves supplied with
moussquetaire cuffs. The little gar
ments are really very pretty, especially
when slipped on over soft white
gown. The back of the coat has two
small plaits, while tie front is basqued>
cutaway style.
If you wish to be ultra fashionable,
supply yourself with a tucked glace
bolero and skirt. Any bodice may be
worn with them. The best coats for all
occasions are now made of the glace
silk, and are very much trimmed. Lace
collars are thrown over the silk ones.
and thus richness and variety of effects
are achieved.
