Four Crops of Potatoes in One
Year.

We never hold ourselves responsible
for the statements of correspondents
nor those made in clippings from eX-
changes. Still we try to exercise care
not to admit anything that is very
incredible without calling attention to
it and expressing our doubt. We
dsd, however, allow one from the
Tampa Times to pass unchallenged.
In the Agriculturist of April 4th, there
was an article from that paper which
made the astonishing statement that
four crops of potatoes were grown in
one year. 1t is evident that we read
the first of the article and, being pleas
ed with it. did not finish it. However,
it has served good purpose, in one
way by showing how carefully the
AgriculturiSt is read. The statement
attracted the attention of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, and Prof.
d. A. BrOdie wrote asking how it was
DONE A letter of inquiry to the gentle
man whose place was described,
brought the following reply:

A Correction.

In our synopsis of the proceedings
of the meeting of the Horticultural
Society, we said that the Committee
on Vegetables did not make any re
port. In this statement we, uninten-
tiOnally, did Mr.. w. NJ. Gist, member
of that committee, an injustice. He
presented a brief report, which will
be given in the Agriculturist in due
time
The Florida agriculturist., 1906-05-16

which fits in well with the above:
To Feed the Horse Well.-Idle hOrs
es which receive a plentiful supply of
hay do not absolutely require grain,
and can be wintered without getting
an allowance of grain. 1t is, as a
general rule. the best plan TO feed a
few oats to horses under these circum-
stances. and the small extra outlay
which is incurred in doing so is well
justified. 1t is not, of course, in any
way necessary to give Idle horses
much grain, and that merely means a
useless expense which gives no salts
factory return. n small allowance
is all that is required. A few oats
serve to keep the horse in decent con-
ditiOn, and help to keep up the mus
cles. while if no grain is given they get
out of condition and lose muscle.
A horse which is wintered without
receiving any grain loses its condition
absolutely, and is quite unfit at first
for work when it is taken into the
stable again. By feeding some oats
Il certain degree of fitness is retained
and the horse will regain proper work
ing condition and become quite fit
again much sooner than if grain is
dispensed with. When horses are
given an allowance of oats, they of
course. do not require, or eat, as much
hay as they do when they get no
grain; and thus a saving in the hay
is effected by feeding some grain, and
this saving in hay is in a certain
measure set-Off against the cost of
the same as that in the morning, eX
cept that five pounds of loose hay is
placed in the stall in addition.
The hygienic value of the mOlasses
feed formula is proved by an expert
ment which was made on two run
down horses that had been kept upon
ordinary rations. Their weights We're
$50 and 925 pounds when they We're
put on the mOlasses system, and both
soon showed Improvement in weight
and health. At the end of six weeks
the smaller had gained 200 pounds
and the other was 1S1 pounds heavier.
The Florida agriculturist., 1906-05-16
MOlasses for Horses.

There is always an OverStOck OF
molasses where sugar is made in
large quantities. 1t is beginning to be
used as stock food. The Horse World
says:
The trucking horses used by bis
sugar refining firm in Brooklyn, n
Y. are such fine. big, sleek looking ami
mails that their passage through the
streets attracts attention, and horse
men generally believe that the cost OF
keeping in such condition must be con
siderably above the average. This is
not the case, however, for, in the
stable of the finn an experiment OF
mixing mOlasses with the feed has
been made and the plan has beer
found to be not only extremely ecOno
mical but also of exceptional value il
producing nOurishment. 1t costs only
thirty-four cents day to feed these
fine horses which range from LOO tt
1.SOO pounds in weight. This, ac
cOrding to experts, is from twenty tC
twenty-Seven per cent. cheaper thai
the old system of maintaining the
stock on oats and hay entirely
This is what the sugar refinery hOrs
es eat: In the morning they get 9
quart and Il half of Indian corn meal
Il quart of wheat bran. seven pounds
Of cut hay and quart and a half OF
sugar house syrup which remains
after all possible crystalliZatiOn OF
sugar has taken place.
At noon each horse gets four or five
quarts of oats and the night ration is
grain, though it does not by any means
cover the latter. 1t may be reckOned
roughly that a pound of oats takes the
place of from between two and three
pounds of hay. Thus, when horses
which are being wintered receive q
daily grain allowance of two pounds
they consume about five pounds less
hay each day than they do if they get
no grain. "A daily allowance of &
couple of pounds of grain is sufficient
in most cases, but a somewhat larger
allowance say three or four pounds
does not come at all amiss in the case
Of valuable horses
The question of how much grain
should be fed is, to a certain extent
dependent upon the circumstances OF
each particular case, and must be de
cided by the man on the spot. Plenty
of chaff should in all cases be mixed
with it along with the grain and chaff
1t is found to be economical to do so
barley or corn may be fed as a part O1
the allowance of grain instead of oats
and the whole of the grain allowance
may even be composed of barley OF
corn, should an appreciable saving he
effected by using barley or corn in the
place of oats. There is however, nc
gainsaying the fact that barley oil
corn is not as suitable as are oats.

Cement Walks for Country Homes.

Our light, sandy land does not get
muddy after heavy rain, but in dry
weather the sand gets so deep that
it is hard walking through it. There
fore the need of good walks around the
house is almost as great as on heavy
SOIL
Wallace's Farmer prints very clear
directions for making such walks. In
this state it is difficult, often impOs-
sible to get gravel, in such cases we
believe that broken oyster shell screen
ed free from dust would answer nearly
or quite as well.
Farmers requiring walks about their
homes will find nothing so practical
as cement walks -hygienic, because
nOn-absOrbent; beautiful, because uni
form and artistic i'm finish; durable.
because harder than stone; and at the
same time cheaper than sawed stone
or any other good sidewalk material.
In many cities ordinances require that
i'll the better quarters nothing but
cement walks can be laid. In the
quarry cities of northern Ohio (where
great quantities of sawed stone of
superior quality for walks are annual
ly producedD, the cement walk has
come, and each year sees greater
stretches built
What has been found true i'm the
city will be proven equally true in
the country. Like everything else,
the quality of the walk will depend
largely on the skill used in the selec-
ton of material and laying the walk.
