Poultry and Potatoes.

Last spring, as an experiment, l
planted my poultry yard, containing
onefourth of an acre, to potatoes, says
a correspondent of Farm and Poultry.
l have just dug fifty bushels Of fine po-
tatoes from this quarter acre. l did
nothing but plant and dig the pota-
toes; the hens did the rest-kept off
the bugs, kept the ground free from
weeds, fortified the crop and kept the
ground in fine condition, SO that
didn't need to cultivate. The yield
is double that on land adjoining, and
the potatoes are entirely free from
scab. Seventy-ive hens occupied the
quarter acre. When the potatoes were
planted, few whole potatoes We're
thrown into the yard for the fowls, SO
that they had no need to dig out the
seed potatoes. l think 100 hens could
care for an acre Of potatoes to their
mutual benefit.

have no doubt that he often thought

he could have had some Of the knowl-
edge about farming that used to have q
place In the Tribune in after years, but
we are not SO sure about it. Even in
those days there was more theoretical
teaching OF farming than Of any prac-
teal knowledge that would reduce ag-
riculture to an exact science, and we
think if he had been on the farm and
tried some of the methods advocates
in the Tribune his language might
have been as emphatic as any that he
used in political campaigns. But since
that date agricultural colleges and ex-
pertinent stations have done much to
educate the farmers and the farmers

New Fertilizing Apparatus.

New Fertilizing Apparatus.
Among all the numerous devices and
schemes to induce plants to grow the
idea which is illustrated below Is prob
ably q novelty, and 1t is not unlikely
that 1t will serve its purpose to some
advantage in the forcing of shrubbery,
plants, etc. The inventor Is Gardner
nd. Sherman, Of Springfield, Mass, and
ne claims that the arrangement Is not
only Of great utility and value in accel-
Grating the growth of plants by giving
them with the utmost directness the
most suitable fertilizing ingredients
which they are known to require, but
IN experimenting, in series modifying or
varying the constituents employed, with
q view to the observation and compari-
son of the results. The device is hol-
low, porous receptacle, with vertical
tube at the top. The device Is buried
when the plant is set out, leaving the
end Of the tube exposed above the sur
face Of the earth. Then the ingredients
Of the fertilizer are mixed and poured
in through the tube, being absorbed
through the porous vessel by the roots
of the plant. In this manner the roots

Breeding Mules.

We are of the opinion, says Farm
and Ranch, that mule breeding has
been too much neglected in the South
and perhaps elsewhere. The mule is
really the most useful draft animal on
the farm and by far the most econo-
mical. For real rough farm work
mules are better than horses. They
are not quite SO speedy as horses, but
there is much blowing on every farm
that cannot be done both rapidly and
well, and for steady pulling at a uni
form speed the mule has no equal.
They are harder and more easily kept
and more cheaply fed than horses. and
when grown for market they are al
ways ready sale at higher prices than
farm horses. Large mares and well
bred jacks are needed to produce mules
that will bring $500 at 2 years old.

Sugar Beet PuIp for Cows.

At the Jacksonville (Cal.) factory su-
gar beet pulp sells all the way from 20
to SO cents per ton. AS it can be held
a long time in the silo and is fed to best
advantage when old, it is available the
entire year. According to notes col
lected by r. A. Pearson, Of the dairy
division at Washington, published in a
recent bulletin, the fresh pulp is piled or
placed in a silo. This silo is very crude.
1t also costs very little. The pulp Is
very soft when first put in and general
ly settles considerably. OF course the
top layers decay, and after time the
entire mass is covered with protecting
layer three to six inches thick. In few
months the individual pieces of beets,
originally two or three inches long and
quite slender, are broken down, and the
material reminds one Of cold mush,
grayish brown in color. Three tons of
the fresh pulp make about one ton
when cured.

COLOR OF GOLD COINS.
Reasons For Differences in Tint OF Coins

Reasons For Differences in Tint OF Coins
of French Mntage. ;,
Some time ago Frenchman placeu
together number of gold coins OF
French mintage Of the beginning, MD
die and end of the last century. he
was much surprised to see that they
differed in color. He set about mo
ing out the reasons for this difference
and the results of his Investigations
have been published in La Nature.
There is a paleness about the yell
low of the 10 and 20 franc pieces Wnlcn
hear the efigies of Napoleon ! anu
louis XVIII that is not observed IN
the gold pieces of later nlintage- One
admirer of these coins speaks OF their
color as a beautiful paleness ana
expresses regret that it is lacking IN
later coins. The explanation OF II is
very simple. The alloy that entereo
into the French gold coins OF those
davs contained as much silver as cop
nor and it was the silver that gave
the coins their interesting paleness.
The coins Of the era OF Napoleon

silver had been taken out OF the ailoy.
The gold coins of to-day have sun
warmer and deeper tinge OF yeiiow:
This is because the Paris mint, as wei,
as that in London, melts the goio anu
the copper alloy in hermeticaliy scared
boxes. which prevents the copper from
being somewhat bleached. as 1t always
is when it is attacked by hot air. 80
the present coins have the full warm

give. - 90

Cleanliness in Poultry.

Note the conditions which surround
fowls with free range. They have an
abundance of green food. more or less
grain, many insects, plenty of exercise
and fresh air. These essentials must
be supplied them when confined.
Value of Roots for Feeding.

Professor Henry in Foods and Feed

root for feeding, as while 1t has but

About Floors

Perhaps one of the greatest differ
ences between the old-time house clean
ing and modern house cleaning lies iEa
the treatment of floors. The woman
who has her house carpeted with rugs.
blesses the fashion when it comes tea
cleaning. OF course the floors must
be polished. If the floor is not of hard
wood, coat of paint is the first appI5-
cation; after that there should be two.
or three coats of varnish, then rub
bling with sandpaper, and after that a.
good oiling and polishing. The floor is
then in good condition for several
months to come. Many housekeepers
make practice Of having floors rubbetzs
weekly with kerosene, but this Is not
cleanly, and the fact that it proves
ruinous to any light gown that trails;
over it is argument sufficient against
the practice.

SLASHING SALARIES.

While we all believe in exercising
the utmost economy in the expendi

encouraged retrenchment at all
