WASHING POTATOES.
It Is an Excellent Practice IF They
Are Thoroughly Dried Be-
fore Storing.

An extensive potato grower OF
northern Michigan, Mr.. L. Van Win
kle, in q recent contribution to the
Chicago Packer, gives his experience
in washing potatoes before storing as
follows:
II am a farmer blowing and working
1000 acres of land, raising hogs, cat
tie and horses, and also hay, grain and
vegetables. For five years l have
washed all my potatoes, and have
never lost a bushel by rot after | put
them away in the cellars. / dig with a
Hoover digger, and pick up the pota-
toes as fast as they are dug. They
are then hauled to a suitable rack for
washing, where a mill hose is turned
on them with 40 pounds pressure. In
this way 100 bushels are washed lean
enough in ten minutes to bake or boil.
l let them lie for a few minutes only,
then pick up and put in one bushel
crates, after which they stand in the
or wind from two to three hours;
long enough to dry nicely. The pota-
toes are then packed away in a cool,
dry cellar, where they remain until
wanted for use or to sell.
81 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
load or bushel, and can be handled
very quickly and cheaply. No meas
uJing is necessary, no weighing is re-
Quired-always ready to sell or plant.
The crate, if cared for, will last for
years. l have put potatoes in bins
often when they were a little wet, or
had some defective ones among them,
and in a few weeks had to move and
sort them. But since l have used
crates for potatoes and other roots,
l find that when put away the care
and trouble is over, anS no further at
tention is necessary.
Il would recommend this method to
all farmers, large or small. All that
cld-fogyism of storing potatoes with
dirt and mud on them is nonsense.
While we all know that potatoes will
keep well if dry with a little dirt on
them, l know they will keep if washed
perfectly clean and dry, and they will

piled with water should be, grouped, as
our picture shows. For each plant take

FALL FLOWING.
Opinion That It Tends to Rob the
land of Much of It's
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 conclusively
that the bare soil loses a great deal of
nitrogen during the wet weather of
winter and early spring, while I'M
broken land, that is even sparsely COW
cred with any green crop, loses an in
appreciable amount. This loss is not
so easily detected on our rich prairie
soils, nor is it 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?
II 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
fall, so as to allow the frosts to help
r~eestablish 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 a good
crop, Some Of the best farmers, who
glow corn after corn on very rich
lands, have abandoned the practice of
breaking" as the term is understood
TO mean turning the soil with a pillow,
and merely disk and harrow the sur
face In the spring a few days before
planting. In private experiments we
Lave found this to be preferable to
breaking the land with share and
mold hoard pillow.

WHO Is MORT CULLIBLE?
The City Man Is Not a Bit Behind Bis
Country Cousin in This
Respect.

us the man of the country more gull
BILE than the man of the ,city?" asked
an observant man, in the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. There is a suspicion
that an answer in the affirmative would
fit the case. Yet, it may not be so.
An interesting experiment has recently
been made, according to a story that
comes out of New York, and the result
seems TO have been a little disastrous.
According TO the story this attempt to
prove that the residents Of the country
districts are more gullible than those
of the city has nearly resulted in a jail
sentence for a college student employed
IS a street car conductor in Brooklyn,
He Is said to be a member of a we'll
known family in Maine. and was q
student at Brown university in the class
of '06.
Financial reverses sustained by the
family compelled him to seek work in
the city, and he became a conductor not
long ago. In July a friend of the con-
ductor residing in Maine received q
letter offering to sell him, at low rates,
counterfeit money made in Mexico.
The Maine man turned the letter over
to the secret service officials and the
conductor soon after was arrested. He
was indicted and has been in Jail since
July. The prisoner explained hat the
letter was only a joke and an expert
ment in sociology, finally giving the
district attorney his true name, which
he formerly had concealed. Investiga-
ton proved the story to be true, and
when the case came before, Federal
Judge Holt the district attorney ex-
planned. The judge ordered the joker's
plea Of not guilty to be withdrawn,
entered n of guilty and then suspend
ed sentence. He warned the student Of
sociology, however, to be more careful
In his future experiments.
But this does not by any means set
tie the important question, and despite
the common belief in the gullibility Of
the man from the country now and then
we run across a happening which shows
he has an element of shrewdness which
will often put the city man to a hard
test of his wits"

Information from Oregon states that
the range owners have decided to start

which are scattering the seeds of that
loathsome disease broadcast throughout
the State. 1t is reported that thousands
of these NANCY horses are running wild
over the Oregon ranges and that some
thing must be done along the heroic
line to put a stop to the dissemination
of mango. So far as the story now told
throws light on the subject, it seems
that Indian ponies first contracted the
malady and being turned out to forage
where they would. handed it along to
horses wherever they went.
