Harvesting Potatoes,

More or less judgment Is required In
doing any kind Of work, and the dig
ging Of potatoes is no exception to the
rule. In the first place, so many should
not be dug out at one time that they
cannot be handled readily. A good way
is to dig during the fore part Of each
half day and then gather the tubers
before quitting. AS soon as dry they
should always be picked up, and If the
weather is reasonably dry the length of
time necessary for drying depends al
most entirely upon the nature of the
soil. If sandy, an hour may be long
enough, but II moist clay it may take
several hours. Potatoes, once dug,
should certainly not be left out on the
ground over night If they are, the
frost has every chance to get at them,
and only little freezing is required to
spoil a good many bushels for mar
ket. 1t Is poor practice, too, to pick
up potatoes without any regard to grad
ing. Two classes, anyway, should be
made Of them; all those of good mar
ketable size should be gathered first
and the understood ones left till later.
1t also pays to have crates or bushel
measures In which to pick them up.
Easy to distribute about the field, these,
after being filed, can readily be placed
on wagon and drawn Off. Further.
more. they prevent the tubers from be-
ing damned and marred. Thirty or
forty of them, or even a less number,
may profltably be owned by every farm.

One bushel and a half Of wheat Is
ample to sow an acre, and FIVE pecks

time before cold weather stops
growth, says Farm Journal. As soon
as the wheat Is sown, IL the land Is not
underdrained, 1t is advisable to pillow
some burrows where they will carry

pressions. Wheat cannot grow In wa.

erecting this mill was about one hun

difficulty about its construction and a
considerable part Of the work could be
done with ordinary tools and little

Lack Of Mechanical Knowledge.

Lack of Mechanical knowledge.
The full benefits of farm machinery
are not realized because the average
farmer has not the mechanical training
or the requisite skill to get the best re-
suits out of these complex implements.
We are the greatest makers and users
Of farm machinery in the world, and
1t Is owing to this fact more than any
other single cause that we have been
premacy In the markets of the world
The cost Of this machinery to the farm
ers Is greater to-day than ever before
The character Of this machinery every
year becomes more complicated, requir-
ing Increased knowledge Of engineer
Ing principles on the part of users.
The traction engine, the steam pillow,
the combined harvester and thresher
operated by steam power, the automo-
bile, the growing use of electricity as a
motive power on the farm, the machin-
cry now required In diaries, in the
growing of sugar beets and manufac-
ture of beet sugar, are all illustrations
of the momentous changes in the char
taken place In the last fifty years. The
increase In skill and mechanical knowl-
edge required by farmers to operate
these complex and costly machines COM
pared to what was needed to operate
the primitive tools of half a century
ago cannot be given In percentages

shelter for stock.

The piles of stalks and straw which
60 to waste can be made to do good
service in providing shelter II 1t Is not
considered fit for feeding. With a few
posts and poles the stalks and straw
will furnish a warm place Of refuge
for animals that cannot be accommo-
dated in the barn or stable. With plen.
ty of straw on the ground under the
covering so formed. no better place
could be arranged for Sheep, and with
care in making the roof only a heavy
storm will cause It to. leak.

Selecting Seed Corn.

The proper time in which to select
seeds Is late in the fall or winter. The
reason for requiring this portion of the
year for SO doing is because there II
then no hurry, and the work can be
done better. The common practice OF
laying the seed corn aside to remain
until spring has done great damage tt
the corn crop, as very often the ex
cess Of imperfect grains Is such as tt
cause failure Of termination over tn.
whole field Every ear of corn should
be examined and the inferior grair
shelled off. Vegetable seeds also re
quire examination, for insects, damp
ness and other causes interfere will
their safe-kecping. OF course, every
farmer is supposed to be careful witt
his seeds, but very few farmers know
the condition Of their seeds until tn,
time comes when they are required fol
planting, and then the farmers ar,
too much hurried to do anything will
them.

why is a woman's allowance called
