Some lnterestinu Points,

In spading ground. be sure to bat

terfcre with the sowing of the seeds.
Rake the soil down level, fire and
smooth, leaving it in that condition
until it warns somewhat SO as to al
low the seeds Of weeds to sprout. The
use Of the rake, which will easily de-
stroy the weeds and grass when they
are very young will save much labor
afterward.
The soil to be used for potted plants
should be mixture of leaf mold from
the goods. sand and good loan, lit
tic powdered charcoal being IN i'm
proveme]lt. A piece of broken pot
should be laid over the drainage, hole,
then enough soil put in so that when
the earth is placed in the pot there
will be about an inch of space from
the surface of the soil to the rim of
the pot. Fill in the soil all around
and pack it moderately tight. Shade
the plants from the sunshine for a
day or two. Use a small pot for
small rooted plant; if you do not the
soil will sour and the plant die.
Scatter few tomato seeds in
box or flower pot. The plants come
very handy in the time of their set

New Process of Buttsr-Makinq.

A committee Of the Franklin In
public its report on the Taylor process
for butter-making. 1t is recommended
that Mr.. Taylor receive the John
Scott Medal and Premium In recogni
ton of the value of his invention. In
this new process sweet cream is pour.
ed into shallow pans the bottoms Of
which are covered with absorbent
pads. The pads are composed of
heavy white blotting paper supported
on Turkish towclng, or some similar
material, and absorb from the cream
nearly all OF its constituents except
the fat. The cream fat remains as a
layer on the surface of the pads and
after several hours standing may be
rolled off. In this condition the pro-
duct contains rather too much water
and milk proteids; on this account and
because of the absence of salt, it does
not keep very well. IT, however, the
separated butter fat be worked and
salted in the same way as the Cr-
dlnary churned product, the result is a
very fine grade of butter.
The process has the advantage of
cheapness, since the pads may be used
over and over again, lasting, it is said.
for six months Of daily use. The labor
of churning is avoided, and, on account
OF the use Of fresh cream instead OF
that which has stood to ripen several
days, the finished product keeps better
than butter made in the ordinary way.
The process has been patented in the
United States, Canada, England.

Gettinu a Potato Crop

In response to the query how to get
d good crop of potatoes an expert re-
plies: use plenty of good CONNER
cial fertilizer and you will have no
trouble" Very definite, is it not? The
writer thought it good plan to put
this same question to an expert po-
tato grower, and the following is the
substance Of his reply:
I'm a general way, one can get a
good crop of potatoes in normal sea
son if the soil used Is we'll filled with
lumus and is mellow and friable. The
seed must be first class and be prop
arly and thoroughly treated with for
malin for scab before being planted.
Of course, the soil must be well fer
tilted, but more than all the cultiva-
ton and care of the plants is essen
tial. The soil must be cultivated and
the sprayer kept busy. Then, if moth
ing happens, you'll have good CROP
While perhaps this reply is not wholly
1t at least gives one some
idea Of what is necessary in the way
Of material and labor.-IndianapOlis

Commercial Fertilizer.

There is probably more quibbling
over fertilizer prices than anything
else that farmer buys. Unquestiona-
bly, the cheapest way Of buying fer
tilizers is to buy the several materials
and do the mixing on the barn floor.
but assuming this is not done, then
one should make it point to see that
they buy the fertilizer which will give
them the greatest amount of the plant
food they want in the smallest bulk,
which means, of course. at the lowest
price. For example, if a ton of the
fertilizer, according to the ANALYSIS.
contains 6 percent of potash Tor any
other plant food may be figured on the
same basis) this means 12O pounds of
potash to the ton.
Ii another fertilizer contains 12 per
cent, or 240 pounds to the ton, the lat
ter is cheaper than the first by exact
ly the number of cents it costs less
than double the first. Reducing It to
pounds, IL one costs 5 cents a pound
and the other 9, the last is cheapest,
if you get it at the rate a pound for
the bulk. If you want potash, and pay
$50 for a ton Of fertilizer containing
120 pounds Of potash, 1t is cheaper to
pay $38 for ton Of fertilizer contain
ing 240 pounds ct potash.
The same plan Of figuring works

Profits in Lima Beans.

An amateur gardener beasts that he
grew nearly 100 quarts of shelled
beans on $50 hills, besides several
quarts of dried beans, in his garden
last year He sold the fresh beans at
p cents a quart. What profitable
business that would be: An acre OF
ground would contain 10000 hills of
beans, planted four feet apart each
way. At the rate Of two-thirds Of a
quart from each hill the yield would be
about 1900 quarts, which at % cents
4 quart would give a total OF s4425,
as the gross return. But 25 cents a
quart is pretty high price; go cents
ought to be enough and this would re-
duce the sum received from the crop
to $344o, and this would still pay very
well.-Indiana Farmer.
