A difference in yield Of so bushels per
acre Of potatoes will scarcely attract
attention as they lie in their places on
the ground after digging.
In the personal experience Of the
writer these statements have been
abundantly verified. On one occasion
a field was planted to early potatoes,
there being applied 700 pounds per
acre of high grade complete fertilizer
costing $40 per ton. AS was the GUS
tom under such circumstances, some
rows were left unfertilized for COM
parison. At harvest time the work
men were instructed to dig fortified
and unfertilized rows, leaving the po-
tatoes in their rows side by side for
examination. When ready, the writer
inspected them carefully, and while
there was a slight difference observa-
BILE the verdict rendered as the result
of inspection only was mot enough in
crease to pay cost of fertilizer" Press
ed with work the impulse was to have
the potatoes picked up without further
care, but wiser thought prevailed
and definite area was laid off and the
potatoes from it carefully measured,
when to the surprise of all the yield of
the fortified rows exceeded that of the
unfertilized by 621a bushels per acre.
This occurred in August, and these
potatoes had ready market at 80
cents per bushel. The value of the in
crease was $5625 per acre. The cost
Of the fertilizer was $14 per acre, and
If 81 is allowed as the cost of applying
the same the total expense on account
of fertilizer was SIC per acre, leaving
$40.25 as net profit. And yet we were
on the point of turning away from
this experiment, saying ''the fertilizer
does not pay"

experiments concerning the absorption
Of water in butter which are reported
in bulletin 80. The greatest amount
of water was found in the butter when
the churning temperature was low (52
degrees) and the wash water warm
GO degrees). The least amount of
water was found where the tempera-
ture was II degrees at churning and
the wash water was 40 degrees, the
granules in both cases being the size

Melon growers should consider at
this time of year any steps that they
propose taking for preventing the raw
ages of the melon louise during the
coming season, says American Garden
ing. 1t is too late to do anything after
the lice appear. Their habits are such
that no effective spraying or other gen.
eral treatment is possible.
Two methods have been suggested
looking toward the prevention Of loss.
One consists in thoroughly cleaning up
and blowing the old melon fields be-
tween the seasons II melons are to be
planted on the same land next year.
This serves to destroy many of the in
sects which pass the winter in the
trash and litter of the old melon field.
Perhaps a better method is to change
the crop on the old field and grow mel
ons In new place. II this plan OF ro-
tation is followed, 1t discourages the
insects and gives them nothing to work
on at the old location, and it takes con-
siderable time for them to ind the new
one.

CROP ROTATION.
Results In Increased PROFIT From
Crops and Soil Improvement.

Results In Increased PROFIT From
Crops and Soil Improvement.
A short rotation of crops practiced at
the Rhode Island station has been:
First year, potatoes; second year, win
ter rye; third year. clover. 1t embraces,
therefore, root crop, cereal and a
legamineris crop
The soil upon which the rotation was
conducted was extremely exhausted.
The average yield of hard shelled corn
obtained per acre upon the plots the
year before the beginning of the ex-
pertinent 1892 amounted to but Is
bushels per acre. Similar soil in an
other portion of the same field, under
a system of continuous cropping with
out manure, became so exhausted by
the year 1896 as to produce Indian corn
scarcely five inches high.
In the course of the three year rota-
ton the yields of merchantable pota-
toes upon these plots were but 60, III
and 70 bushels per acre respectively.
In the second course of the rotation
the yields were 233, 1913 and 268 bush
els per acre respectively. These in
creased yields illustrate well the i'm
provement in the condition Of the soil.
During the first course of the rota-
ton the value of the crops was less
than the total expenses in five out of
nine instances. The average loss per
year amounted to 1919 per acre dur
ing the first course of the three year
rotation.
During the second course Of the rota-
ton there was an average profit of
$23.54 per acre annually.
After deducting the losses during the
first course of the rotation from the
profits in the second course there re-
mains an average net profit of $1675
per acre annually during the entire
period of six years.
The returns in the second course Of
the rotation and the filth and general
character of the soil at the present time
all lead to the expectation that the flu
ture returns ought to equal or exceed
those in the second course Of the rota-
ton, in which case the profits, even
after allowing for interest on the in
vestment, wear and tear of tools, ma
chinery, ETC., ought to be good
It should be remarked that the crops
potatoes, winter rye and clover grown
in this rotation are not all such as
would be expected to yield large finan-
cial returns per acre, though they are
such as are usually or often grown in
one or more Of the rotations upon a
general farm.
1t is not expected that the three year
rotation would be practiced exclusively
upon a general farm except possibly in
rare instances, but that it might be
employed either as one Of several rota-
lions to be conducted upon the various
portions of the farm or in alienation
with some other desirable rotation,
each of which would run its course
successfully.

cAULlFLOWER CULTURE.

J@me Quite Novel Experience From
Long Island Growers.
The general impression is that cauli-
flower cannot be successfully grown
on sandy soils, and for the best results
it should be grown on lively loan.
Experience has proved to the Long
Island growers most conclusively that
It is not the character of soil, but its
condition, that insures success. The
caulifower, in common with all other
plants, does not feed upon soil, but up
on the elements Of plant growth con-
tanned in the soil, and these can be
furnished by the light as well as by
the heavy soils. Then the question
arises, Can it be grown without the
aid Of commercial fertilizer? Yes, but
/ should prefer under some circum-
stances its use. For instance, the cauli-
flower has a decided thirst for salt, an
element that can only be furnished by
the use of chemicals. On saline coasts
the atmosphere will furnish that to
considerable extent, but not sufficient
for it's need, which on Long Island Is
satisfied by the salts used in the COM
mercial fertilizers.
Last season was one Of vicissitudes
with this crop and showed in few
instances the value of salt. Let me
state an instance. One Of our best
farmers had a field in which he was
to grow caulifiower the past year COM
pletely flooded by remarkably high
tide, the first in the history of the farm.
When the time for setting the plants
came, they were set here the same as
In other fields, which had been given
the same proportion of fertilizer. When
the harvest came, the flooded field pro-
duced one of the heaviest crops ever
known, and it has been stated that
profits were more than 81 1000 per acre,
while most other fields were total fail
ures.
If l were to grow caulifower on
sandy soil, 1 should take a piece of
sod and treat 1t literally with we'll
rotted manure, which should be put on
the surface and plowed under about
June /, then narrowed smoothly and
left until about time to set the plants.
Then l should cultivate as finely as
possible without disturbing the sod and
at the same time work in 800 pounds
Of common salt to the acre and look
with confidence for satisfactory crop,

pinerent arade. OF Glover seed.

The prices charged for clover seed
vary greatly, each large dealer having
two or more grades Of different prices.
Unfortunately for the buyer, each deal
er has his own grade names, and even
the standard terms, prime, choice and
fancy, as used by different dealers, do
not always mean the same thing. If
for these indefinite terms could be sub
stituted a statement of the percentage
Of pure and germinable seed, the buy
er could tell at once what sample was
the most advantageous for him to buy.
1t is safe general conclusion that the
sample which, while reasonably free
from weed seeds, contains the largest
amount Of pure and vigorously germi-
mating clover at the least cost is the
best one for the farmer to buy. Low
priced samples seldom fulfill this con-
dition, nor do those sold at exorbitant-
ly high prices. Usually the high grade.
medium priced samples are really the
cheapest, but the only way to deter
mine the value of a sample is to test
the seed. The result Of the purity test
shows how much pure seed is present,
and the termination test determines
how much of this pure seed will grow
and how vigorously it will terminate.
