Kind Of Irish Potatoes to Plant.

Ihe condition of the Irish potato
sets at time of planting is a very
important factor in obtaining a
maximum crop of potatoes.
When the set is planted in the
field and begins to sprout, the
young plant gets It's food to begin
with, from the parent set: it also
utlllzes the moisture in the set. and
in dry time it is very important
on this account alone, TO have sets
we'll charged with moisture. When
potatoes sprout in a warm. moist
celler, as they so often do. the
shoots take from the tubers both
the plant food and moisture.
These shoots are usually broken off
when handling the potatoes. and
hence when the tubers are cut for
planting they are not in the best
condition to produce a good crop of
potatoes. Careful experiments
and observation prove that the
second shoots are not so strong as
the first. In order TO be certain
that when sets are cut the eye will
start, a good practice Is to spread
the potatoes out in the light a few
days before cutting them until the
eyes start, when they can be cut
more intelligentle. Experiments
conducted by the Department of
Agriculture for ireland in 1904.
showed 90 bushels per acre in favor
of sprouting the sets before plant
ing. Experiment have been con-
Quoted along the line of cutting
different sized sets for upwards of
100 years.
These experiments prove that.
all things being equal. the larger
the set planted the largest Weld:
hence largest whole potatoes
usually give the largest Yield. but
rs it is the largest crop of market
able potatoes at minimum cost
thatiS desired. 1t has not been found
profitable as a rule. to plant large.
whole potatoes. The more sprouts
there are from a set. the larger the
proportion of small potatoes. The
conclusion reached after many
tests Is that the most economical
set to use is one with about three
eyes. and a good amount of flesh.
The crop grown from the seed or
rose end of the potato will be ear
lier than that from the stem end.
but there will be a larger proper
ton of unmarketable potatoes.
Both, however. should be used In
planting for the main crop. \
good practice Is to select good.
medium to large potatoes. true to
type: and make four sets out of
the medium sized potato. cutting
lengthwiSe and then across. The
practice of using small potatoes
from which TO make the sets wear
after year l. bad one.
The following experiment was
carried out at Guelph. Ont,
Canada: For eight years large,
whole potatoes, medium sized
/ potatoes and small potatoes were
I planted. Each year seed was used
from the crop produced by the
large potatoes: the medium sized
from the medium and the small
from the small. The average re-
suits for the eight years were:
Large, whole potatoes. 1879 bus.
per acre.
Medium, whole potatoes. l73
bus. per acre.
Small. whole potatoes )marketa-
blel ll6 bus. per acre: unmarketa-
ble potatoes, 90 bus. per acre.
This experiment shows the value
of using good seed year after year.

Railroad Wins Mcdonald Case.

peals of Virginia last Thursday.

cided.
In the case Of the Norfolk <
Western Railroad VS.. McDonald's
administrative, from the Circuit
Court Of Clarke county. the opin-
ion of the court being written by
Judge Cardwell, the judgement Of
the trial court is reversed and the
cause remanded for a new trial.
The court holds that the trial court
erred in Overruling the motion of
the defendant company To set aside
the verdict. It is further stated
that the evidence proves no more
than that the occurrence. resulting
I'm the injury and death of Me
Donald, was an accident. pure and
simple. for which the defendant
company could not either i'm law or
justice be held responsible. The
plaintiff failed 70 establish negli-
gence ON the part of the defendant
company.
1t will be remembered that Con
ductor Mcdonald was killed at
Berryville while assisting his train
crew in unloading rails for the new
tracking which was being put
down.
Anappliancc consisting of a rope
and hook was being used to pullthe
rails from the cars in which they
were loaded. While pulling one
of the rails from the car. the hook
Strengthened out, pulled from tie

Company. from the Circuit Court
of Warren County. a suit growing
ont of alleged breach Of contract for
furnishing railway ties. the plain
tiiis claimed a sum in payment of
ties delivered after the termination
of the contract without cause. and
also damages growing out of the
fact that the defendants refused TO
receive ties which were offered
them at contract price by the
plaintiffs. The question a to what
was reasonable notice of the ter
mlnatlOn of the contract i discus
Sed at some length. the appellate
court holding that this was for the
jury To determine. The court held.
however, that the trial court erred
in It's instruction to the jury as to
the amount To be recovered ON the
ties the difference between the
contract price and the cost of
making delivering such ties. The
judgement of the Circuit Court of
Warren county Is reversed. and
the cause remanded for trial to be
had in accordance with the views
set forth in the opinion.
