need not be picked up ut all.
Where there are large areas 10 be
dug a good potato digger is essential.
Not only will Il potato digger raise the
crop more economically than fork or
pillow. but with it the grower is more
likely to get his crop dug and picked up
while the weather is fine, which is
great consideration. There are Il num-
Der of good potato diggers now on the
market which will dig up and leave on
the surface of the soil practically all
the tubers The second cut shows d
manufactured digger.
Next 10 a good potato digger a fork
like attachment to plow does the
best work. That in the first illustration
is one made and used ut the Canada
experimental farm with very fair sue
cess. The fork is attached to the side
of the pillow and not to the point. in
which ii differs from some OF the 9th
ers. Being attached to the side, it
prevents much clogging from the po-
tato tops, as the rows can be plowed
from the side.
There are some potatoes left in the
ground even when this attachment is
used, but not nearly as many as with
the pillow. Flowing potatoes out has
become quite common method among
farmers since help began to get scarce,
and it is difficult 10 get men to dig. but
IN blowing them out there is always a
large number of potatoes left in the
ground, and the additional labor re-
luired to pick UP these potatoes, which
are scattered all over tie field. is con
siderable.
The old fashioned yet thorough way
Of digging with the four tined potato
fork is too slow and expensive meth

UnduIating Lands For Horses.

English experts are advocates of the
theory that undulating lands are decid-
eddy best as grazing grounds for young
horses. Apart from the question of the
Toll. which is in itself, of course, an i'm
portant matter in the production of nu-
Mitious grasses, it is argued that undu-
ating fields are necessary for full and
proper muscle development. The per
feet horse or one pleasing in form
needs symmetrical development Of all
muscles, and the English experts are
advocates of the theory that this devel-
opment is not attained on level pas
pastures for the hest development Of
all classes of horses. I Exchange
