Potato Growing.

Professor c. D. Woods, director Of
he Maine Experiment Station, in his
ak to Wisconsin farmers at the re.
:ent convention at Oconomowoc, laid
,pecial stress on the great value of
he potato crop. 1t is valuable because
t does not exhaust land as do some
,ther crops. It's starch is made out of
carbon, and this has been gathered
rom the air by means of the leaves.
So it does not come out of the ground
It all. The man that grows potatoes
IS not taking from the soil a great
mass of fertilizer that is to be sent
lway never to return. The tops are
not sold of, but are permitted to lie
IN the ground or in the ground and
lecay.
There is no best way of growing
potatoes. Place and circumstances
must dictate methods. To grow po-
| :atoes successfully a man must be suf-
iciently intelligent to understand the
,oil and other conditions on his own
farm. No man can afford to follow the
methods of public speakers or his
aeighbors without first finding out
whether they apply to his case. The
selection of seed is important, because
We do not plant the seeds but cuttings
from the tubers. The tubers from
which the cuttings are to be made
! should be ripe and should have been
kept over winter in a temperature of
from 33 to 40 degrees. 1t is, however,
4 mistake to select seed potatoes from
| those that have lain in the ground
TOO long. The potatoes for this pur-
pose should be dug while the tops are
still green, so much so indeed that the
potatoes on being cooked will be what
we call "watery" In the planting, po-
tatoes should be put in deeper in clay
than in sandy land. This may appear
unreasonable, but If the potatoes are
planted near the surface in clay land,
they will, as they grow, cause the clay
to split open and this will let in the
sun. The result is sun-burned po-
tato. which is Of no value for eating.

Poultry Briefs.

Not the least among the advantages
OF this invention is the being able to
determine the laying period of the
hens. A fowl that begins to lay in
November and. produces her eggs
during the period when eggs are high
IN price is far more valuable than a
fowl that begins to lay on the first Of
February and drops most of her eggs
In the spring and early summer. when
eggs are being disposed of at a very
low price. The phenomenal winter
layer, unless discoyered by the trap
nest, stands a good chance of having
her head cut off at the end of the Law
ing season, when, in fact, she should
be kept as breeder. The tran nest
makes it possible for the breeder to
become personally we'll acquainted

A Milking Glove Tube.

In Australia there has been brought
into use in the dairies what is called a
milking glove tube A valve fits over
the teat and from the valve extends a
long narrow tube, which conveys the
milk from the teat into covered pail.
The oritices in the cover of the pail
are just large enough to receive the
tubes. We illustrate the general idea
herewith. From an American point
of view the device does not seem prac-
ticable. From Australian reports we
ID take it that the invention is supposed
to be a substitute for clean
illness in the dairy. A paper
in that country says: MANY of the
= troubles of dairying are caused t..- the
injurious microbes that are carried by
dirt into the milk, and it has been rec
commended by various authorities to

Fertilizer Facts.

Press Bulletin 40, New Hampshire
Station: A curious sign of the preju
dice of fertilizer buyers for a name
was shown by the brands put on our
market by one large company. This
corporation had in our state fourteen
different brands guaranteed to contain
2 per cent of nitrogen. per cent of
available phosphoric aoid and per
cent Of potash. while ten more Of its
brands differed from thS above lot by
, eaeeh naving a guarantee Of is per
cent Of potash instead Of 3 per cent.
In other words, this company had
twenty-four brands to represent only
two different formulas, because fertil-
lzers are bought by name instead Of by
composition.
The last census states the value of
fertilizers bought in New Hampshire
In 1900 to have been $685., 1000, making
an average for each farm of $12.55.
The most common fertilizers sold in
the state were those costing $50 per
ton. For the average sum per farm
there was purchased of such a mixed
fertilizers 837 pounds, containing II
pounds Of nitrogen, 81 of available
phosphoric acid and rs Of potash, or a
total OF 106 pounds Of plant food. BY
buying the highest grade of chemicals,
Including nitrate of soda, dried blood,
acid phosphate and sulphate of potash,
and paying cash, $12.55 could have pur-
chased 800 pounds OF chemicals con-
tanning 20 pounds of nitrogen, 58 Of
available phosphoric acid and 80 pot
ash, a total Of 158 pounds of plant
food, or one and one-half times as
much as by following the usual method
Of buying. Long credit and commits
sions to agents make fertilizers costly.
In the past year the trade in ashes
has taken up an inferior grade, which
Is sometimes sold under the name of
lime-kiln OF, lime ashes. They contain
much less soluble potash than good
hard wood ashes and their value is
problematical on that account because
the availability of insoluble potash is
unknown.

Prof. Chas. A. Keffer, Tennessee:
The freeze of two weeks ago injured
the peach buds very much in this vi
cinity. Fully 80 per cent were killed.
Pears also were injured, but not Sc
riously. Japanese plums suffered less
than peaches, but seriously. have
no returns from other parts of the
state, but as the freeze was general,
think the injury widespread.

nearly all parts Of the state by severe

Esca ping Mold in Choose.

Prof. H. L. Russell says: The mold
ing of cheese is, of course, a biological
phenomenon due to the development of
mold spores on the surface of tho
cheese, a condition brought about BY
the proper temperature and moisture.
Mold will invariably occur when the
degree of saturation in the atmosphere
reaches the maximum point, and under
these conditions at ordinary tempera-
lures at which cheese is ripened you
have more or less trouble from the
molding Of the cheese. We find that
when cheese is cured at 40 degrees or
thereabouts, these molds will not de-
velop. They cannot grow to any con-
siderable extent because the tempera-
ture is too low for them to develop, so
that those losses are to a large extent
obviated by the use of these lower cur
ing temperatures.

been the factor that has kept down
profits. II q man has a herd Of. cows
and some Of them are poor mixers
it is easy to detect the poor ones and
dispose OF them. Up to the time the
trap nest was invented, the poultry
man had no way of finding out which
of his hens were the drones and which
were the good layers. With the com
ing OF the trap nest, all is changed.
The poultryman can now eliminate
the Improbable birds.
One man that has tried has found
the trap nest very serviceable. 1t
showed him that some Of his most
worthless specimens we're those the
most perfect in form. Some Of the
kinds that scored high in competitive
exhibits proved to be almost worth
less as layers. At least 20 per cent
of the fowls so tested proved to be
losing money for their owner, while
as many more were shown to be bare
ly clearing expenses. A few of the
birds showed themselves to be per-
s1stent layers, and these were kept 1or
breeders.
The trap nests show not only how
many eggs the fowls lay but the kind
Of eggs. It sometimes becomes de-
sirable to know what hens lay eggs
with certain colored shells. This Is
particularly so in breeds that have
been created by the crossing of other
breeds. as such produce eggs varying
all the way from white to dark brown.
The trap nest enables the breeder to
determine what kinds lay the eggs OF
the desired color. Then, too, the pre-
potent birds can be distinguished and
those whose eggs are habitually fer
tile. This is most important point.
