VALUE OF POTATOES.

Potatoes are the most expensive of all
the staple foods They contain from 80
to 500 pounds of water III every 1000
pounds. the solid matter being mostly
starch. The farmer also finds the potato
crop one of the most cXacting i'll its re-
QurcmentS of labor, one of the greatest
obstacles being warfare against beetles
and diseases. At present prices potatoes
are more expensive than beef, consider
ing the actual proportion of nutritious
matter contained, but it is only when
prices are high that the potato crop is
very profitable, owing to the expenses
necessary for its cultivation.

GREEN TOMATOES.

Growers of tomatoes can secure big
prices for the green ones left on the
vines after they have ceased delivering
to Gamers. The green tomatoes should
be picked from the vines about the time
the first frost appears and placed on
straw, 50 that they can ripcn i'll the sun;
and extra straw should be ut hand to
cover them at night to protect them
from the cold and frost, and when ripe
placed in six gallon peach carriers or
peach boxes and shipped, by fast freight,
to New York. They often command dur
ing November one to two dollars per
carrier or peach box.

Farm Notes..

Flowing in the fall may be beneficial
or not, according to the texture Of the
soil. Light soils will lose fertility if left
bare during the winter The late weeds
that cover the soil sometimes protect
against teaching, but no weed should be
allowed to mature. Rye is an excellent
cover crop and grows on nearly all soils.
Experiments show that plats cultivated
to the depth Of an inch and Il half eva
poratcd 1000 pounds less water per acre
daily than plats having no cultivation.
On heavy clay soil the difference in some
cases was as much as 1000 pounds per
day on an acre. Cultivation therefore.
means saving the moisture in the soil.
When land has been heavily MANFRED
and does not give satisfactory crops the
cause may be that the land requires tile
drainage. being too wet owing TO the
fact that the lower water cannot flow
away. Drainage in such cases will ef-
feet wonderful Improvement.
This is the period of the year for con-
ping sheep. and when taken from the
pasture they should be given hay and
oats at night. sheep will secure much
of their food, but as the pastures fail
they will have to travel more and get
less.
TIL" artichokc. which is recommended
as food for pigs, becomes a persistent
weed wherever it is established, and con-
siderable work will be required to get rid
of it. Wherever potatoes can be grown
they should be preferred to artichokcs.
There may be certain marks which in
dicate a good mixer, but there is no sure
guide except to weigh the milk and the
food. The farmer will then know ex-
actly the kind of COW he has. and how
much her milk costs.
Many farmers ship produce to market
Mt certain seasons and buy articles that
could be dispensed with by using those
grown on the farm. In such cases they
pay transportation two ways, which les
sens the profits.
Wool is no longer the leading article to
be derived from sheep. \ leading breeder
of large mutton sheep declared that he
could burn every pound of wool and then
make more money than from the fine
wool breed.
Buckwheat is grown on sandy soils as
a green manurial crop. 1t is an advan-
tage to apply lime this fall on land that
has had huckwheat turned under.

THE INERT NATTER OF SOILS.

The soil nine inches deep on an acre
of land should average from 5000 to
100000 pounds. 1t will contain about
5000 pounds of phosphoric acid per acre,
about $500 pounds potash, and 1000
pounds nitrogen. This enormous amount
of plant food is locked up in the soil in
Il condition to prevent its loss, and it is
also not available for plants i'll large
quantities. Every plant grown upon the
soil, however. takes Il small proportion,
and when that plant is returned to the
soil, either by blowing under or in the
manure, it adds available matter to the
soil for the next plant that grows i'll its
place. The plants simply take insoluble
foods from the soil and render them SOL
uble. but they really add nothing to the
soil. To maintain fertility. therefore,
something must be brought on the farm
to supply that which is sold off i'll the
form of live stock, milk, crops, etc.

The majority of farmers dispose Of
their weeds by throwing them into the
pig pen. 1t is an easy way to dispose of
them, especially if the weeds are green,
but if matured and full of seeds, there is
no surer method Of distributing weeds
over the farm, as it is from the manure
heap that many farms are so well stock
ed with weeds. OF course, if the manure
is allowed to thoroughly decompose many
seeds will be destroyed, but there are
hundreds of farms on which the manure
is spread on the fields before it is de-
composed.

The farmer reduces the value OF his
own labor by keeping inferior stock, or
failing to secure large yields Of crops,
az the higher the prices, and the greater
the production. the better the rcmuncra-
ton for the labor bestowed. There are
periods when the farmer cannot perform
work in the fields for which reason he
should aim to get his crops under shelter
as soon as possible in order to do some
kinds OF work which can be performed
inside the barn.

Half manuring field is sometimes Il
loss, as the labor and time is really
thrown away if the manure is spread
over too much surface. 1t cannot supply
plant food to he of service unless tn"
quantity is such rs to afford Il sufcicncy
to the crop. and il is better to use all the
manure ON small plot than to attempt
to spread II large field with IL limited
quantity of manure.

also because it can be made to assist i'll

White clover is Il hardy plant, and if
seeded on bare places in the pasture or
wherever thcr" is Il vacancy. will soon
terminate and secure Il hold. 1t may be
seeded as late as this month, and will
make considerable growth if winter does

of the best for sheep. ard it is subject
to fewer insect attacks than red clover.

Many suggestions have been made in
regard to spraying, but the use Of kero-
sene should be done carefully. Kerosene
emulsion il recommended for many pur-
poses, but there are strong and mild
emulsons, according to the proportion Of
water used. Pure Kerosene, even in small
quantities, will quickly destroy peach
trees.

Plants must have food and water, the
same as animals. The fine white roots
are the feeding mouths, while the leaves
take carbon from the atmosphere. Plants
make their most rapid growth when well
supplied with a variety OF food, and, as
they convert food into salabe product,
they should be well fed or they will fail
to give satisfactory results.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1901-10-19

The time to fattcn hogs is when the
season is mild and cool. as less food will
then be required to keep them warm
than after winter begins. The largest
profits from hogs are secured when the
cost is reduced by warm and dry quarters
and judicious feeding. Corn is the best
food, but the greatest gain is made when
a variety of foods is given.
