"Practice Rotation of Crops"

That a proper rotation or crops is
denced everywhere, for there is no
land that is proof against depletion.
Some soils hold out longer than 9TH
ers, but the ultimate end is failure
If we persist in continual cropping
with one crop. We rotate, primarily,
to prevent this depletion of soil fer
tility and If legumes figure largely
in the rotation, considerable nitrogen,
the principal and costliest plant food,
is added. Then we rotate to secure
a better distribution of labor and
stockmen rotate to secure g variety
of feeds with the least damage to the
soil. Another advantage of rotation
is the getting rid of insect and weed
pests. Potatoes have several insect
pests that are peculiar to potatoes.
ton, we are apt to get rid of them, or
most of them on that crop and by in
Guiding other crops in the rotation
on the infested ground we can get
rid of them there.
Different crops feed differently,
and by rotating them any one partic.
ular plant food is not exhausted, as
may be the case in single crop farm.
ing. Some crops require more nitro
gen than others, some more potash
and some more phosphates. l have
heard the expression THAT land will
not grow tobacco, because it has been
in it so much" Yes, but / proved
when l rented it that it. would pro-
duce good crop of corn and other
things in the way of feeds, so | pro-
ceeded to rotate and feed stock.
1t is probably in the tobacco dis
tricts that the worst effect of lack
of rotation and diversified farming
is found. Tobacco is very hard on
land, and it needs a rest more than
any other crop. 1t requires very
strong soil, and the tendency is to
crop a field that is found to produce
fine crop of tobacco too much. We
find many instances where such land
has been in tobacco until it is worn
out, at least as far as that crop is
concerned, and greatly depleted in
the elements of fertility for other
crops.-E. w. Jones, of Kentucky.

Culture of Sweet Potatoes.

Contrary to what the uninitiated
may suppose, the sweet potato is by
no means difficult to grow. Given a
sandy loam-one not too rich, or, at
least, on which too much fresh ma
nure has been applied, this tending
to induce heavy growth of vine
at the expense of the tubers-it can
be easily raised and made to yield a
large crop. The first requisite Is to
plow the land well. turning very
thick furrow, and then with two
horse plow throw it up in long, large
ridges. After that it should be pull
yerized and finished thoroughly. fol-
lowed by marking 1t out in rows
about three and one-half feet apart.
In these the plants, already started
in a hotbed, should be set about
eighteen inches apart. Good, stocky
plants are safest to bank on, and that
they should have a fair chance there
should be no guesswork about seeing
to it that the soil comes in close con-
tact with their roots. They should
be placed at a reasonable depth and
ii the soil is dry, the roots dipped in
rich mud and stirred about so as to
get as much of the mud as possible
to adhere to them, the soil then be-
ing pressed around them when then
are set out. Watering also is some
times advisable, especially in late set
ting. After that it is only necessary
to cultivate sufficiently. to keep the
weeds down and the ground mellow.
That no weeds at all may thrive close
to the plants, the earth there should
be hoed occasionally and the vines
then lifted up that they may not take
root. Big Stem, Jersey and Cedar
vile are some of the varieties of
sweet potatoes that have been found
satisfactory.-Fred o. Sibley.

IN MEMORY OF GEN. PIKE
Centennial Celebration of the Discov-
erer of Peak to Be Held.

Fitting tribute to the deeds of Gen.
Zebulon Montgomery Pike, discoverer
of the great mountain peak bearing
his name, will be paid by the citizens
of Colorado during the last week in
September, 1906, under the auspices
of the Zebulon Montgomery Pike
Monument association, at Colorado
Springs.
The plan had its inception 10 years
ago when the monument association
held banquet in cOmmemoration of
the ninetieth anniversary Of the dis
covery of Pixies peak At that time
it was decided that the centennial
anniversary of the discovery should be
observed with appropriate exercises,
to include the unveiling of a monu-
ment to the intrepid soldier-explorer
who blazed the first pathway from the
east to the Rockies.
With the approach of the centennial
anniversary the original plans have
been enlarged until they have assum-
ed proportions in keeping with the
historic significance of the event,
The war department will send TO-
900 regular troops, the interior depart
ment will send representatives of the
tribes of Indians with whom Pike
came in contact, and congress has
been asked to authorize the coinage
of 100000 souvenir medallions Of
bronze and silver.

NEW PRIMROSES.

Since the introduction Of the primula
oboonica grandiflora, known as the
ever-blooming primrose, there has been
nothing finer produced among this
class of window boomers than the
primula siensis of fimbriata, which in
this years Introduction displays some
rare and peculiar markings and petal
fringing. AS the variety does well in
a cool room and will bloom freely in
north window it is adaptable for the
window gardens of many city homes,
where sunny windows cannot always
be secured. Seed started now, with
the plants kept growing in cool,
shady place during the summer will
produce thrifty plants to be taken in
side in the fall, that will keep up a
constant supply of bloom next winter.
When the young plants show two or
three leaves they should be trans
planted from the seed pans to small
flower pots, measuring about two
inches across; and replanted into larger
pots as they increase in size. The soil
should be mellow and well drained

Farm and Garden Notes.

A sheep, like clover, enrIches the
ground that grows it.
Do not feed the sheep too much
corn, especially the breeding ewes.
Dry soil is one of the first requi-
sites for successful sheep farming.
One of the very best feeds for
ewes with lambs is oats and wheat
bran mixed.
Keep the floor of the sheep quar-
ters dry, and to this end use plenty
of bedding.
Sow parsnips and satisfy now for
next winters use. They require the
entire season to develop.
When bringing oleanders out of
the cellar, cut them back a little be-
fore they start into growth.
Growing chickens should be fed
three times a day, just what they
will eat up clean, no more.
The object of caponizing is to inn
prove the quality and increase the
quantity of the flesh of fowls.
Continue to plant all the hardy
vegetables. May is the month in
which to SOW the tender sorts.
Plant some flowers in the veget-
able garden. 1t is as important to
please the eye as the stomach.
Tobacco stems covered with straw
are an excellent preventive of insect
breeding when the hens are sitting.
The grass upon the lawn has made
a sufficient growth to be cut. Now
across one week and lengthwise the
next.
1t is the nice appearance of goods
that sells them. Nice, large, fat,
plump fowls always bring the best
prices.
Throwing food on the ground is
wasteful. A clean board is much
better. Feed no more than is readily
eaten up clean.
In arranging the poultry house, so
far as can be done, it is always best
to have the doors and windows facing
the south.
Short-legged fowls fatten quickly;
long-legged ones are hard to fatten.
Those first hatched fatten quickest
IT. brood.
The most important thing connect
ed with the work of the sheep breed
ers in the selection of rams from
which to breed. Never under any
consideration breed from a scrub, a
grade or an inferior ram, for in do
ing this you do your flock and your.

Eradicating HOrseradish.

Will some of the readers of the
Tribune Farmer inform me how to
get rid of horseradish?-L. R., Mid
dleburg, VT.
Answer-There is no special
method of getting rid of horseradish
which is distinguished from other
methods of eradicating perennial
weeds. 1t is very troublesome
weed when it becomes established in
the field, and one can kill it out only
by persistent cultivation. No plant
can grow which is not allowed to
make green leaves, and if cultivation
is frequent enough TO prevent the
growth of the tops, the roots are
bound to die. Put your field in a
hoed crop and keep it cultivated
throughout the season, and the
horseradish will have to go.-John
Craig, Cornell University.

A Dry Floor.

There was considerable written
few years ago about cement and
gravel floors for poultry houses and
raking off the litter to the same every
morning. OF late years there has
been more in the poultry papers
about board and plank floors. Eight
years ago we built a poultry house
sixty by thirteen feet of lumber, put
ting on a shingle roof, partitioning
into five apartments, with a board
floor and boarding up four feet be-
tween apartments, and then screen
wire to within a foot of the roof,
leaving three feet for a hall through
The building, with screen doors from
this hall into each spring door, the
doors shutting themselves as you
leave the pens. The fowls are fed
and watered from the hall, pens con-
tain dust boxes, chaff and straw,
perches are movable, and platform

The orloln Of "peadhead. I,

The term "deadhead' is in various
connections very much to the fore at
the present time. How did 1t arise?
It's origin is purely TRANSATLANTIC.
Sixty years ago all the principal ave
nues OF the City of Delaware led in
one direction, to a tollgate close to
the Elmwood Cemetery road. This
cemetery having been laid out long
before the construction of the plank
road beyond the tolgate, funeral pro
cessions were allowed to pass along
1t toll free. One day as DR.. Price, a
well-llnown physician, stopped to pay
his toll, he observed to the gatekoep-
er: Considering the benevolent
character of the profession to which
have the honor TO belong, you ought
to let us pass toll free"
mo, no, DOCTOR" the man replied,
1--WE can't afford that. You send too
many deadheads thro here as it is"

wide until the term came to be ap-
piled to anyone who claims the privi-
lege of travelling on railway sys-

Potatoes as Horse Feed.

If you are raising potatoes and
have more culls and small ones than
you can find use for, the following
from the Tribune Farmer may give
you valuable hint:
l noticed an inquiry in your valua-
bic paper of June 1, relative to feed
ing potatoes TO horses. Our expert
ence may be of interest to the
brother wanting information. Some
few years ago one of our neighbors
harvested large crop of potatoes,
and from some cause there was quite
a percentage of small, unmerchanta-
BILE ones, and corn and oats were
high that season. Our friend had
numbering to do that winter, kept
four horses and fed them raw pota-
toes twice each day. He was careful
to wash the potatoes we'll, as the grit
would make the teeth and mouth of
the horses sore. These teams did a
good winters work, were in excellent
order in the spring, their hair sleek
and the animals very healthy.
We keep eight heavy horses on our
FARMS and each year feed them more

To avoid sandy strawberries. mulch
them with grass cut from the lawn.
To avoid wormy cherries and plums,
let the chickens run under the trees
and eat the curculios.
If you see gum or sawdust near the
base Of a peach, plum or cherry, dig
out the borers, or they will kill your
tree.
If strawberry plant collapses, dig
it up and kill the white grubs on the
roots.
To give all the grape clusters a
chance at the light, pinch out lateral
growths to one OF two eyes.
To save tearing flesh, while tying
prickly canes, and the expense of posts
and wires, cut out all three-year-old
canes Of berry bushes, pinch out tips
of young shoots when two and half
feet high, and they will make compact,
branching bushes next year.
