PLANTING IRISH POTATOES.
Methods of Planting and Cultivation
Of the Crop.

I prefer a sandy loan for potato
land, writes an Illinois farmer in
Orange Judd Farmer. This to be at
its best should contain a good supply
of well-rotted humus. furnished either
by turning under a sod or growth of
vegetation of some kind, or by lib
eral application of barn yard manure.

to get an early start in the spring
one should not apply the manure in
the fall or during the winter and
leave it upon the surface. as 1t holds
frost and moisture and prevents early
blowing. Neither should the draw

spring, as a few days delay then may

an inference without the slightest

The most that can be said is that

TREATING GRAIN FOR SMUT.

Solution.

For the benefit of those who have
not already treated seed srain for
smut with formaldehyde, will state
my experience in doing st, writes a
correspondent of The Farmer. Three
years ago l had 300 bushels of wheat
that was so smutty that I could not
sell it at the elevator but had to
grind it and use it for hog feed.
did not buy different seed the follow
ing year but treated the grain l had

the formaldehyde stated. in a barrel

By having a board slant onto the eose
of the barrel and placing the drip
ping sacks on the board, the solution
which drips from them will all run
back into the barrel. BY having two
coarse sacks. one submerged in the
barrel and the other on the board
dripping. it does not take very long to
treat enough grain for the following
days seeding, thus giving 1t one days
time to dry. l consider this less work
than sprinkling and shoveling and far
surer of getting all the grain treated.
Have also treated oats with very good
results i treat oats the same way
only they have to be stirred more on
the floor and left longer to dry as 1t is
very difficult to sow swollen oats. 1
also believe in cleaning all seeds in
the best possible way. but If they are
found to contain foul seed 1t is safest
not to use it for seed at all. From
costly experience l have learned the
old saying to be true: "As We sow so
shall We reap"

Three is a lull in large real estate
operations in this city at present, but
II is significant that the number of
small investors in realty is on the in
crease. This fact is proved by the
active sales of low-priced properties in
the North and West Ends and in the
outlying wards
The small investor Is wise TO have
faith i'm real estate as secure place
for his savings. Money properly han
died in small properties will bring a
steady and higher rate of interest than
in many other lines of investment.
Moreover. money invested in land and
houses cannot disappear the way il
sometimes does in many financial
schemes of unscrupulous promoters.
Boston is filling M with shrewd
people from other lands. who after
they are here few years learn the
wisdom of purchasing a small piece of

are the owners of fiat houses.

will seek some cheaper place TO pass

Even Roscius, the most famous come
