Potato Culture.

1t has been ascert2tned th0t on
soil well supplied with humus the
moisture may be conserved even
through a severe drouth and . fair
crop of potatoes produced. The great
importance of thorough tillage is rec
ognized, but it has been demonstrated
that intensive tillage alone is not suf-
ficient to produce large yield OF po-
tatoes. Intensive tillage may be over
done. During q drouth only 80 much
tillage is necessary as shall keep the
surface soil loose and thoroughly dry.
The drier the surface layer Of soil
the more slowly will moisture be ab-
ssorbed BY 1t from the layers OF sub
surface soil. Some farmers have
adopted the practice Of narrowing po-
Ftato land before the plants appear
above the ground. This practice
seems to be . wise one and has gem
orally given good results. One ex-
pertinent station reports that the use
of Bordeaux mixture on the potato
plants in nearly every case resulted in
an increased yield Of potatoes. even
when blight was not present, and
thorough spraying with this material
is recommended a. . practice to be
encouraged. A grower says: There
is no royal road to success with po-
tatoes. Methods Of procedure that are
applicable at one season must be mod
lied to meet the requirements Of an
other season. Treatment Of one soil
might be radically wrong when ap-
piled to another soil. Success win be
attained only by . thorough famili-
arity with the plant and its habits
OF growth, and then conditions must
be made to meet ~ completely ~ pos.
sible the requirements Of the plant

Last winter canned tomatoes were
actually imported into the United
States from Canada, . thing before
unheard Of. Probably the high prices
asked for the canned product 10 to
some extent due to the comparatively
short crop Of last year, but It does
seem that the supply Of this fruit
would be SUFFICIENT for all needs II the
tomatoes that are actually grown

Prof. King Of the Wisconsin station
has made . study of the effectiveness
of various feed mills found on the
market. when driven by windmills and
gas engines. and Of the cost Of grind
ing feed. With one Of the most effect
i've combinations OF windmill and feed
mill the rate Of grinding was about
25 bushels per hour with q wind ve-
locity Of BIB miles, the meal being .
little coarser than medium Corn
and oats were ground at the rate Of
400 pounds per hour with the wind
at 26.48 miles. With q wind velocity
of 2s.67 miles oats were ground at the
rate Of about 6.5 bushels per hour, and
rye at the rate Of 1885 bushels with
the wind 25.35 miles. The rye was
sound little finer than medium
lind the oats little coarser."
= Under Wisconsin conditions there
Ire on the average from October to
Nay Of each year .S7 days when q
han could attend the mill and grind
zen hours with . wind velocity not
'sless than Is miles per hour. and much
.oi the time higher than this. he
should therefore be able to grind more
than As bushels per day and on the
average more than 100 bushels per
week. The 81 grinding days during
the seven months places the grindin9
d..ys, on the average. more than two
per week, and If it Is supposed that
this is twice too high it would still
be possible on the average to take ad-
vantage Of high winds during the
working hours and grind about 90
bushels OF corn or $500 pounds, per
week. Counting the mans time who
tends the mill 81 per day. the cost OF
grinding would be only about ~
cents per hundredweight."

The Crisis with Nursery Trsss.

The Crisis with Nursery Trses.
1t 10 something OF science to trans
plant trees that have bsen received
l. m distant nursery and have them
live. 1t used to be thought that there
must always be large percentage q
loss anyway-even under the best con
ditions. Both the nurserymen and the
planters have now learned that trees
of all kinds can be handled In way
to insure their living when placed in
their new locations. A well-packed
tree has its roots kept moist by being
rolled In damp moss and tied up in
bagging. The old scheme Of pulling
trees out of the ground. exposing their
roots and sending them away without
any protection was the cause Of many
q tree proving failure. When these
trees arrived at the distant station
they were thrown out on the platform
and left there exposed to the heat OF
the sun and the drying effects Of the
wind. In the course OF time the pur-
chaser drove around and got his con
signment. perhaps couple OF days
after their arrival. By that time their
roots were good and dry. He drove
home and set out his trees In any old
way. Even had he set them in the
best possible way 1t Is altogether like
ly that good many trees would have
perished owing to the drying out OF
the roots. When large part OF his
trees failed to grow Of course the
nurseryman was to blame-so the buy
er said. He was right to some extent,
in that the trees were sent away with
roots not properly protected. In send
ing trees long or short distances the
roots and their moisture supply fur.

treatment of the tree from the time it

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have rumbling sound of
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dItion, hearing will be destroyed for
ever nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but au in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

The Parkersburg State Journal
thinks that the next Legislature ought
to appropriate money to erect new
buildings for the penitentiary and SO
provide better system Of cells
There can be no question about the
propriety of this suggestion. The cells
in which prisoners are now confined
are not fit for beasts, much less human
beings. They are small, they have no
ventilation, there are no sanitary ar
engagements, and there are not even
decent comforts. Humanity and
State pride cry aloud for these i'm
provements in the prison.
Old walnut stumps are now on a
boom throughout West Virginia.
Stumps that have remained unnoticed
for years and were regarded as worth
less are now eagerly sought after at
prices that seem almost fabulous.
An Indiana concern has had men
travelling over the country buying
every old walnut stump that could be
found. At first the prices paid were
small, but as the eyes of the stick tim
Der folk began to open, the price went
up higher, until now it's out of sight,
and the funny part about it is that the
uglier, knottier and more unsightly
the stump, the more money it will
bring. The stump of walnut tree
recently brought more than the whole
tree. 1t is stated that stumps are
made into veneering material and used
in the manufacture Of high grade furni-
ture.

1t is further asserted that a special
discount sheet gives still lower prices
than the above to certain classes of
foreign buyers. Of course, no sensi-
bic person will believe that our man
ufacturers are selling these goods
abroad at loss. They are unques-
tionably making fair profit. The
reason they sell cheaply is because
they have competition to meet there,
while here at home the high tariff alb
solutely shuts out competition.
1t is shame that the people have
to be so audaciously robbed because
the party in power refuses to revise
the unjust tariff laws that control it.
