Potato Quality.

The quality Of potatoes is the sub
ject Of interesting tests by the New
York Experiment Station. There is
reason to believe that good quality is
developed in a soil temperature of 65
degrees to rs degrees and the tubers
growing from one and two to five inch
es below the surface are subject to
these conditions. Great fuctuaton in
the soil temperature is detrimental to
the best development of potatoes, and
tubers growing too near the surface
are subject to this fluctuation. A too
low temperature also Injuries the devel-
opment Of ripening and the soil tex
ture probably has something to do with
rpening and flavor. Hence, if pota-
toes are planted shallower than three
inches or deeper than six inches the
conditions are unfavorable.

ACTIVE KANSAS WOMEN.
Five of Them Do All the Work on q
l6O-ACre Farm.

Five of Them Do All the Work on a
16O-Acre Farm.
At Solomon, Kan, farm Of $50
acres is operated entirely by five
Women-a mother and five grown
daughters-and boy Of twelve
years. Each OF the women has her
own department. The labor is dis
trituted equally among them. The
mother looks after the house, does the
help, and takes care of about 500
chickens and other poultry. One of
the daughters attends to the dairy and
milkS fifteen cows. They have eight
cen horses for farming and driving
purposes, a small bunch of steers and
hog pen that brings them from $500
to $500 clear profit every year.
Theirs is one of the best farms in
that neighborhood. Most of it is plant
ed in corn and wheat, but they are
raising all of the ordinary crops. The
young women do all of the field work
pillow, sow and reap; put up their
own fences. dig their own drains, re-
pair their own machinery and employ
no men hands, except occasionally at
harvest Most Of their farming is
done with machinery Of the most i'm
proved, up-to-date character and their
crops are equal to any raised In the
neighborhood. For convenience they
dress in mems clothing while in the
fields, but when the days work is over
they resume their petticoats. They
are good looking and we'll educated,
take daily newspapers and the leading
magazines, and two Of them are grad
yates of the agricultural college at
Manhattan.
Several other farms in this neigh
borhood are managed by women, and
women are engaged in other kinds Of
business. A real estate firm of women
at Cottonwood, Kan, recently negoti-
ated the sale of $4,000 acres Of land in
the western part Of the state. This
firm is very enterprising and is well
known throughout Kansas, Oklahoma
and Indian Territory. 1t has done a
good deal Of real estate business for
the railroad companies. One Of the
firm is vice-president Of the Kansas

FEVER'S after EFFECTS

Pink Pills.

Typhoid fever is sometimes called ner
vous fever. During the course Of the
fever the nerves are always profoundly
disturbed, and when it is over they are
left so sensitive that the patient has to
be guarded against all excitement. In the
tonic treatment then demanded, regard
must be paid not only to building up flesh
but also to strengthening the nerves. A
remedy that will do both, make sound
flesh to repair waste and give new vlgor
to feeble nerves, is the most convenient
and economical Such q remedy is DIR.

Weather Fakes.


The United States Weather Bureau
takes no stock in the monthly and sea-
sonal forecasts by the so-called
weather prophets" whose predictions
are based upon signs Of the moon, con-
functions Of planets, and other astro-
nomical phenomena which, as far as
scientific men can learn, have no ap-
preciable influence upon our atmos-
phere. Frequently, of course, they hit
a snow storm or cold wave in winter
and thunder and wind storms in the
summer, as all are liable to occur in
their respective seasons. but to predict
the nature Of the weather more than
three days is not possible by the Ma
tiOnal Weather Bureau. even with con-
slant connection with hundreds of OBJ
serving stations in all parts of the con-
tinent. All forecasts sent out by the
Weather Bureau are based upon actual
conditions at the time, but the unex-
pected often happens to upset what
seems likely to occur.

Poor food for the COW and Door
treatment effect the milk supply.
Cows in the stable can be protected
from flies; nets and screens are both
used.
Sponge off the horse thoroughly and
dry him we'll before putting him in his
stall.
New York City consumes on an aver
age about $4,000 sheep and lambs
weekly.
Do not use any preservative to pre-
vent milk from souring; keep it cool
and clean.
Pick tomatoes as soon as they begin
to turn color and spread them out IN
der glass This viii help them to ripen
quickly.
Pull up onions as soon as the bulbs
are well formed and leave them on the
ground until cured. Then spread them
thinly under cover until wanted.
Try five or six moth balls in each
nest. but be careful that they do not
touch the eggs. Persian insect powde.
scattered under the hay helps much.
Keep outside leaves of grape vine,
cut off, also weak shoots. This will let
the sun ripen the grapes and throw the
strength Of the vine into the fruit In
stead Of the foliage.

Treatment for Fence Posts.

A cheap and effectual method Of
preventing the rotting Of fence posts is
said to be practiced by French farm
ers. The posts are piled in a tank and
the whole thickly covered with a quick
lime, which is gradually Stacked with
water Another plan, used in this
country, is to char the posts to the
depth Of half an inch, and then dip
them in coal tar, but the coal tar
should be so used as to extend above
the surface of the ground, when the
posts are in place. While this may not
prevent decay, yet it will prolong the
period of durability Of the posts.

Working in the Wheatfield.

Most people are probably familiar in
a general way with the principles and
methods used in wheat shocking. Yet
there are details the conformation to
or neglect Of which makes all the diff
ference between a first-class job and a
poor one. | wish to show here some Of
the details which make for convenience
and excellence in the work, says a
Rural New Yorker writer.
/ find the following plan of setting
up shock most satisfactory: Set down
four bundles in row and follow with
one in the middle on each side. Now
place bundle in each of the four va
cant places and put on two caps For
caps select bundles with long straw
above the bands. They will cover the
shock better and will not fall off so
easily Place the heads of the caps in
the direction from which the STRONGEST
winds blow. If the heads face the
wind the caps will not blow off as
readily as they will if the butts face it.
Here are a few general suggestions:
If the shock has been set up as here
directed it will contain twelve bun
dies. Experience teaches that this is
very nearly the right number. Some
little variation, Of course, is allowable.
But if a shock is much smaller it lacks
stability, and the same is true if the
shock is much larger, especially if the
wheat is dead ripe. When the wheat
is dead ripe the heads stand out, and.
especially in large shock, the bun
dies are liable to fall down. If the
heads stand out it is n good plan to
hug the shock tightly before Gaping
In large shock slightly green wheat
is apt to mold. When starting a shock
If convenient start it in the middle Of
the bunch Of bundles. This will save
the time and labor involved in carry.

Production of Hogs,

There is little danger of an overpro-
duction Of hogs. The difficulty is to
get enough Of them. Curtailing the
production will not send up the price
correspondingly, as people will pay
Only Just about so much for any one
kind Of meat, and then will turn to
something else. There should be mil
lions more hogs produced every year
than are. With an animal as prolific
as the hog there Is no reason why the
supply should not be adequate to meet
the demand. 1t is doubtful if the farm
er can raise any animal that Is more
profitable than the hog.

LOw-DOWN RACK.

the ordinary farm is more laborious
than cutting and handling this kind of
forage and anything that facilitates the
lifting and loading is good thing to
have. 1t saves both time and muscle,
for both corn stalks and sorghum, and
the latter, are very heavy to
lift and load on a high rack. In the
absence Of a "low- down" wagon,
rack like the accompanying illustration
will be found to be great help.
