The Potato Patch.

While most crops are adapted to Il
fairly wide range of soil conditions. there
is always Il best soil for any one of
them. The potato is more affected by
the character of the soil than some other
crops, and even if only small patch
Is TO be grown for home consumption il
IS well TO select, 50 fan as is practical,
the soil that is best suited to them With
the potato the quality, as well us the
quantity. is materially affected by the
character of the soil
y loose, friable soil that will not bake
into hard clods is best suited to this
crop. If there is no soil on the farm
that is naturally of this character. much
may be done. in Time to improve any
soil in this respect. In the absence of
sand. the quantity of vegetable matter
may be increased to improve the me
chanical condition of the soil in this re-
spect. This win have the additional
advantage of giving Il great available
supply Of moisture III case of dry
season.
For potatoes it is better to supply this
vegetable matter in some other form
than by an application Of barnyard ma
nure, just before the potatoes are plant
ed However, if the manure is well
rotted, there should be no injurious re-
suits. On the average farm there can
perhaps be found no better place for
the potato than on Il clover sod. This
give the loose condition of soil. together
with the freedom from dungeons and bac-
terial diseases, that will insure a clean.
healthy lot of potatoes.-Prairie Farmer.

Soil Mulch Is Needed.

Ii the season should be dry, rs it was
IN many places last year. the value of
loose, dry mulch will be appreciated
This method of keeping moisture in the
ground Is slowly becoming understood
The department of agriculture gives the
following lucid explanation of its adj
yantages:
AS the moisture from the surface
evaporateS it is replaced by moisture
drawn from greater depths by capillary
attraction. just as oil is drawn through
the wick of a lamp to replace that which
IS consumed by the flame The rapidity
with which moisture will eyaporate
from the ground depends upon the condi-
ton of the capillary tubes, or pores that
connect the surface with the deeper soil
Any dry blanket that can he placed be-
tween the atmosphere and the damp soil
will check this evaporation. The most
practical protection is covering of fine
ly pulveriZed dry soil, two or three inches
deep. BY thoroughly loOSenng the sur
face layer the soil particles are disar-
ranged so that the capillary tubes are
not continuous. In this condition the
surface soil become quite dry. and re-
mains SO without absorbing moisture
from below. thus acting as a mulch and
retaining the moisture within reach of
the plant roots. 1t is necessary that this
soil mulch be fine, for if it is composed
of clods. air circulates between them and
causes evaporation to take place from
the soil below the surface \ rain,
however, will wet the surface causing
the soil to run together and crust, thus
restoring capillarity. This makes an
other cultivation necessary in order to
renew the blanket of fine loose soil"

Il good practice to fumigate with sulphur

FOR CROSS KEY RAILROAD.
Millionaire F1aRIer's Plan to Connect
Key West with the Main Land.


Key West with the Main Land.
Key West is to be hooked to the
mainland by 40 miles of railroad, and
the island city will soon become The
most important port in the Southern
States, says the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch Such is the program announced
by Henry NJ. Flagler, whose engineers
are at work pushing the double line
OF rails southwark from Miami, across
the keys that stretch TO the southwark
from the homestead country. Along
100 miles of keys and forty miles of
water the road will be run and in
three years Key West will be the
southern terminus of the Florida East
Coast Railroad.
These keys are all rich, low lying
hummock land They are black with
richness and fruits and vegetables
thrive. COcoanuts, pineapples and all
kinds of tropical fruits grow Justify in
the SOIL and as the land is absolutely
safe from the effects of hurricanes and
cyclones, they are highly desirable
farm lands. Already extensive farms
and plantations are laid out and being
worked on Key Largo, the first key off
the Florida coast. The key is forty
miles long and is separated from the
continent only by shallow channel of
some miles in width. Then the keys
extend on in chain farther and
farther south and all of the same de-
scrtption. They are rich and fertile
They are we'll covered with foliage and
trees, and they form Il perfect set of
links for the railroad that Flagler will
build
Key West is 1874 miles from Miami
and 1873 miles from Homestead, which
Is the largest town In the southern end
OF the peninsula, The road, which has
already been built as far as Cane
Sable, forms the first of the links of
the chain.
Starting from the mainland the road
VIII go 10y trestle to Key Largo, where
a solid rock roadbed will be filled in
for nearly forty miles. From Key
Largo the track will go by trestle from
Key TO key until it reaches the Bahia
Honda which is just north of Kew
West. Here long trestle with draw
bridges will be built and the last Ink
of the line will be complete. Alto
gether 100 miles of solid rock roadbed
on the keys and forty miles of trestle
and bridge work will be needed for the
completion of the line.
The tremendous advantage that This
remarkable plan has is that 1t demands
no special or laborious engineering
work. There are no intricate problems
or feats OF great difficulty in the way.
1t Is merely question of good roadbed
construction for most of the way and
careful treStling for the rest. The keys
are high enough above the water line
TO be amply protected in case OF
storms or winds There is an outer
line of coral reefs for the whole dis
lance which acts as a sort of break
water, ST. that when the storms heap
the Atlantic up against the shore the
keys are protected at all times Trees
along the whole way afford another
protection ON the keys. Most of the
channels are only five or ten feet deem
and the bottoms are of good CLAW or
soft limestone, which make ideal hold
ing ground for the piles where perlna-
nent treStles are needed.
