Experience with Potatoes.

Bovee, Sensation, Beauty Of Hebron,
Early Michigan, Early Northern, Green

Uncle Sam, w. w. Mammoth, Spaulding
No. 4 and Maggie Murphy have all been
tested by me and found we'll suited to this
section. have found an upland clay soil
we'll adopted to potatoes. Manure heavily
for each crop and frequently follow pota-
toes on the same ground six or seven years.
1t is then put back to clover and timothy
for two years, following again with pota-
toes
When I use sod prefer to plow it in
the fall and apply the manure not later
than March l at the rate of 20 tons an
acre. IF | am not using sod land for po-
tatoes the manure is applied about the same
date, but plowing is not done until early
spring. The crop is planted in rows three
feet apart l get good results by dropping
potatoes Is inches apart in row the first
crop; later crops are planted in rows three
feet apart and two feet in the rows, SO that
we can work them both ways.
Blight has not troubled our vines in
this section. | have compressed air spray

made any test regarding sprayed compared
with unsprayed potatoes, but understand
there is a considerable difference when the
work is carried on side by side. My aver
age yield an acre last year was about 80
bushels
We use bushel crates and one and half
bushel bags for marketing our crop We
pay special attention to having good, clean
crops each season. We finish digging
about September IS. We have two

very few culs and small potatoes left over.
When we are digging the small and re-
fuse potatoes are left lying on the ground,
to be picked up later We use them for
feeding to hogs by boiling them up and
mixing with their feed. We have found
it advisable to change seed every two years.

Poultry Pointers.

During the last four weeks poultry foods
of all kinds have advanced fully 80 per
cent and for those persons who are forced
to buy all their CHECKED feed the problem
of the cheapest feed is now agitating their
minds. Wheat is out of the question, and
corn must be relied upon as the mainstay.
In order to tighten the burden of expense,
all surplus hens that have quit laying
should be disposed of to the butcher as
soon as possible. Owing to the advanced
prices Of meats, poultry now brings good
price and should be marketable before
they eat their heads off, with high priced
grains.
The chicks must have shade these hot
days. If you have no natural shade in
the shape of trees, artificial shade should
be provided A stout frame covered with
cloth or canvas makes a serviceable shade.
When you NOW the lawn give the poul-
try which are closely confined all the green
grass. They will greedily devour it and
repay you hundredfold for your thought
fulness.
Goslings need less care than any other
poultry. Keep them dry the first few
days, and use every precaution to keep
them from getting chilled. By the time
they are week old they need no artificial
heat Confne them to small pens moved
each day to fresh grass. Provide shelter
from the sun and storm and keep their
roosting places clean. Goslings of the
larger breeds should weigh 8 to II pounds
each at 10 weeks of age. As a rule it
pays better to market them then than to
wait till they are older. 1t is claimed that
turnips chopped and fed in water will fat
ten geese very quickly. Geese can be
raised cheaper than any other kind of
poultry because they can forage and get
most of their living for eight months out of
the year from the pastures.
