THE orders given to their soldiers by the
l. leading Powers OF the world comprise
many queer services in these days. Formerly,
no Government expected any service of It's
military forces except that connected with
actual fighting. but modern conditions call tor
all sorts of additional work
In the United States recently has been the
wholesale employment OF our troops IN sanitary

ordered dctachmcntS Of men IN the army COM

Shots To- place themselves at the disposition ot
the local authorities at CALAIS and BouloSne
for the purpose of destroying some Troublesome
seals that trcquented the sand banks between
those towns and thus constituted a menace to
the fishing industry.
Once the Grand Duchv of Luxemburg be-
came SO infested with wolves as 10 give rise To-
great alarm among the inhabitants. who found
themselves unable u cope with the beasts
called out the army, with the result that the
wolves were quickly eXt,rrnInated.
Almost 1T the same time the neighboring
state of Belgium was having It's troubles with
rats. a vast horde of which had crossed the
frontier into the eastern part OF the Kingdom
The depredationS of the rodents were on So
wholesale and audaCious a scale that in some
towns II Is said the houScholdcrS were on the
point of fleeing When finally the Govern
meut was appealed to for assistance, 1t issued
orders TO the garrisons of towns near the point
OF outbreak TO do everything possible 10 and
the inhabitants to stem the rodent invasion,
and it was not long before all the pests were
DESTROYED.
Another pest that army was called upon
to do away with was that Of Spdrrows in Algiers,
which gave the French garTis0ns much trouble
before they were despatched.

may be done by digging by hand, but
so many hills have to be discarded
that it makes the work slow and ex-
pensive If the potatoes cling to the
vines, the selection can be made by
following the digger.
The system used at the Colorado
Agricultural College Experiment Sta
ton is to pillow out the rows with a
common mold-board pillow. This leaves
the. potatoes on the vines with most
of the tubers exposed on the surface
of the turned furrow. Not more than
10 per cent of the hills will be suit
able to select from the first year, but
these planted ought to produce much
higher grade of potato from which to
select the next year-E. r. Bennett.
Planting and Killing Potatoes.
There is no better way to prepare
to plant this crop, in a small way,
than to pillow out the burrows deeply,
so some loose soil will fall back in;
then cover with turning pillow from
both sides. This is an excellent plan,
on account of the amount of tillage
it gives the soil right where the rows
are to grow, where it cannot be work
ed later, as it can be between rows.
1t is a slow process, but it does the
business. But now I would not want
to leave the soil ridged up in this
way for the potatoes to grow in. |
would make the finished drills at least
inches below the level of surface.
This is none too deep on drained land.
Deeper may sometimes be better on
sandy land. Then after the covering
l would harrow the ridges down soon,
before sprouts started. One may use
an Acme, or any kind of leveler to
get land fiat for plants to come up in.
This was always our practice. And
no killing up was done with pillow
for many years. A little earth may
we'll be thrown in under plants just
before they fall over, by putting side
shovels on Planet Junior or Iron Age
cultivators. This to smother any little
weeds that have started since use of
weeder was stopped, and to put a
little more soil right over the growing
tubers. Potato roots cross between
rows before tops are inches high.
One cannot hill up without tearing
these off. This will always shorten
the yield in dry weather. So we
learned to not use pillow to hill up,
and not to let cultivator teeth go more
tnan 2 inches deep after the tops are
4 inches high. Keep working them,
but shallow.-T. b. Terry.
Potatoes Under Straw.
Where wheat straw is abundant and
worthless it can be utilized to adj
vantage in growing potatoes. For a
small patch for home use the straw
method is worth all the bother, for
