Sweet Potatoes at Ten Cents Bushel
As the time for sweet potatoes is at
hand, will give the plan I have adopt
ed, which has succeeded very we'll in
our section.
With ground fat, broke and made
fine, I run rows three feet apart, put
ting a fertilizer of three per cent. am
monia, six or seven per cent. potash
and eight per cent. phosphoric acid. 1
then throw two burrows with turn
plow, making a fat list; drag or level
off top of this list and we are ready
for setting.
If the weather is dry, make a rich
mud paste and put roots Of potato
plants in it for short time; then
stick them out with thin stick that
leaves a very small hole. Press the
foot firmly on one side Of the sprout
on top Of the ridge, and with the stick
knock the dirt solid against the sprout.
They will live almost any time with
out watering If thus firmly pressed in
to the SOIL
After few days run the cultivator
in the middles, and about ten or twelve
days after setting side them up, very
much as I would corn or cotton, being
sure not to let them get grassy. I can
easily weed an acre in a day when
properly plowed; and if neglected. 1
have seen some Of my neighbors take
four hands day to clean an acre.
Plow as often as they need it till
vines have met in middles; then throw
into light burrows with turn plow
up to the potatoes and the work is
done-unless some heavy rain falls
soon after they are laid by. Then it
pays to go over with pitchfork and
lift the vines lightly from the dirt to
prevent their roofing in the middle.
This plan generally insures good
crop with a very small outlay Of time
and money. A few bushels of cotton
seed to the acre, if kitted, will take
the place of ammonia.

Covpeas and Corn For sillaEe.

LIE, Berwyn, writes: have been
reading a bulletin on the use OF cow
peas with corn and sorghum for silage
purposes. but do not find any state
ment as to whether or not the yield Is
increased by growing the peas with
the other crops. 1 would like some
information along this line.
Answer: After several attempts 10
grow cowpeas with corn and sorghum
for silage purposes, it is my opinion
that the practice is not likely to prove
very satisfactory. Corn or sorghum
must be planted in rows about four
feet apart with the stalks about eight
cen inches in the drill row to insure
a very large growth Of peas. In a
favorable season a large growth OF
cowpeas may be obtained, but as a
rule this will not be the case. Thus,
the greater distance apart Of planting
necessitated to insure good growth
of peas cuts down the yield Of corn or
sorghum. which for silage purposes
should be planted in rows three to
three and a half feet apart in the
drill row. Then, the cowpeas do not
often climb on the stalks as we'll as is
desirable. We have tried good many
varieties, and of all Of them the Whip
porwill and Lady were the best, but
unless the plants get started properly.
many of them spread over the ground
and can be gathered by the corn har-
vester. OF course, hogs could be
turned onsthe field so they would not
be lost.
We have tried sowing the peas with
the corn and sorghum after the crop
had made considerable growth. 1t is
much better to seed the peas and corn
or sorghum together than to attempt
to plant later. The work can thus be
done at one operation and saving in
time and labor effected. 1t is mis-
take to let the corn or sorghum get
the start of the peas. for unless they
grow up vigorously in the beginning
the ranker growing crops shade them
so that they do not grow well. In
several years experience the largest
percentage of peas obtained in the corn
or sorghum crop intended for silage
was ten per cent. This was not
enough to have any appreciable eff
feet on the feeding value Of the crop
and it little more than paid fol the
seed and the extra labor involved in
planting. It would be much better, in
my Judgment. to SOW the cowpeas in
drills twenty-four inches apart and cut
and cure as hay and feed with the corn
or sorghum silage rather than attempt
to balance up the food by growing
them in the drill row unless some
means can be devised by which much
larger yield is obtained than follows
in the average year. Many persons
will be inclined to doubt this state.
ment, but they have never taken the
trouble to separate the peas and esti'
mate the relative percentage Of peas
in the crop. The peas climb vigorously
and spread over the corn and sorghum
plants very often until they almost
cover them up, and one is ready to
believe that there is very large per
centage Of peas present, but actual
test has failed to demonstrate this to
be a fact.-Knoxville Journal and
Tribune.

at a meeting of the Transfers Joint
Council that the whole of the 1000
union teamsters of the city be called

instead it was decided to call special
meetings of the railway express and
department store drivers to vote on the
question of accepting the terms of the
employers as offered by Farwell, who
represented the employers at the con-
ference held last week.
This action was consequent on the
announcement by Farwell and Coun-

nearly reached the point when they
will employ none of the men who
struck; that the strike is only an an
nOyance now, and has no influence on
business, and that the employers have

Roughly speaking, it consists of 961A

common table salt, and the next largest
constituent is chloride of magnesium.
After these come sulphate of magne-

quantities of quite a variety of ele-
