WASHING POTATOES.
It u an 2xcollent Practice II They
Are Thoroughly Dried r.
fore Storing,

An extensnye potato grower oe
northern Michigan. Mr.. l. Van Win.
kle. in . recent contribution to ths
Chicago Packer, gives his experience
Ii washing potatoes before storing a.
follows:
Il am farmer blowing and working
1900 acres Of land, raising hogs, cat
tie and horses. and also hay, grain and
vegetables. For five years I have
washed Ill my potatoes. and have
never lost bushel by rot after I put
them away in the cellars. dig with .
Hoover digger, and pick up the pota-
toes as fast as they are dug. They
are then hauled to q suitable rack for
washing, where mill hose Is turned
on them with 40 pounds pressure. In
this way 100 bushels are washed clean
enough in ten minutes to bake or boz.
! let them lie for . few minutes only.
then pick up and put In one bushel
crates. after which they stand in the
sun or wind from two to three hours;
long enough to dry nicely. The pota-
toes are then packed away in = cool.
dry cellar, where they remain until
wanted for use or to sell.
II have found this to be the most
practical way to care for potatoes, or
other roots. The potatoes being in
hushel crates are ready to sell By the
had or bushel. and can be handled
very quickly and cheaply. No meas
uing is necessary, no Weighing is re-
quired-always ready to sell or plant.
The crate, IL cared for. will last for
years. I have put potatoes in bins
often whea they were . little vet, OF
had some defective ones among them.
and in few weeks had to move and
sort Them But since have used
crates for potatoes and other roots,
I ind that when put away the care
and trouble is over. and no further 1T
tention is necessary.
would recommend this method to
all farmers, large or small. All that
cid-fogyism Of storing potatoes with
dirt and mud on them is nonsense.
While we all know that potatoes will
keep well IL dry with a little dirt on
them. know they will keep If washed
perfectly clean and dry, and they will
come out in the spring good and
sound. I had 5000 bushels in my Gel
lars this spring, the finest stock ever
saw"

FALL PL OWING.
Opinion That It Tend. IA Roh ~.
Land Of Much Of tn
Fertility.

The fall-breaking question must be
settled by every farmer to suit his own
conditions, but we think It safe to lay
down the general principle that fall
breaking tends to rob the land Of much
ct its fertility. says the Farmers
Voice. The Rothamstead and other
experiments have proved conclusiySly
that the bare soil loses great deal Of
nitrogen during the wet weather of
winter and early spring, while un.
broken land. that is even sparsely COW
ered with any green crop. loses an in
appreciable amount This loss 10 mot
80 easily detected on our rich prairie
soils, nor is 1t so great where the land
is hard frozen for long periods, but
the question is. can we afford to lose
any Of that element of fertility that
costs us Is cents per pound to restore?
It we thought that we must break
our lands very deeply, we would be
very much inclined to do the work in
the fall, early enough to permit of a
seeding of wheat or rye. We would do
this deep breaking preferably in the
eNSee w 10 w SAAOW tu0 00k0
rcestablish the connection between the
upper and the subsoil. as regards water
supply. and would SOW the grain to pre-
serve the nitrogen in the soil and
would harrow or disk it under in
spring.
As we come better to understand the
problems connected with agriculture
We find that We have, In the past, done
many things that were entirely un-
necessary to the making Of Z good
crop. Some Of the best farmers. who
grow corn after corn on very rich
lands, have abandoned the practice Of
breaking, as the term is understood
TO mean turning the soil with pillow,
end merely disk and harrow the sur
face In the spring few days before
planting. In private experiments we
have found this to be preferable to
breaking the land with share and
mold board plow.

SOME TRAITS or THE CAR

tain amount Of truth in each and all
Of these descriptions, says Carl Jou-
bert in the Nineteenth Century. A
good deal depends on his humor and
the time Of day. In the morning he
will arise, full Of good attentions and
amiability. An interview with his
chief adviser, the procurator, will en-
tirely alter his outlook, and his good
intentions will be consigned to tn,
usual destination. An audience given
to another minister will bring out
fresh trait in his versatile nature.
And so on throughout the day.
I have been blamed for denouncing
the car in Russia as It Really Is

stances. It has been pointed out to
me that the evils Which exist in Rus
STA are the creation Of centuries. In
that case, reply, surely the time has
arrived for steps to be taken to eradi-
cate some Of the more glaring evils.

heritance of centuries; but the same
cannot be said of the state of mind of
any one individual in the nation, es-
pecially II that individual has had all
the ADVANTAGES that education. travel

give. For Russia we can only feel
extreme pity. But for the man who is
