Potatoes and Corn.

While there Is much difference OF
opinion as to the rotation of crops
on medium heavy loan, we have had
the best results from following corn
with potatoes, always being carefulsto
heavily manure the ground for the
corn and not use any stable manure
at all for the potato crop. By heavily
manuring we mean giving the soil
more than will be required by the
corn and more than will be necessary
to make good to the soil any reserve
fertility the corn takes from 1t; in
other words, so that there will be
some of the virtue of the manure left
for the benefit of the potatoes. For
the latter crop we confine ourselves
to an APPLICATION of mixed fertilizer,
consisting of sulphate ammonia, bone
meal and sulphate of potash, applied
at the rate of 800 pounds to the acre.
There may be no objection to the use
of stable manure for the potato crop,
provided one can obtain 1t well rotted,
but the fresh manure Is a scab breed
er and we never use it for potatoes.

Modern Farming.

The use of the most modern meth
DDS In farming Is by no means re-
stricted to the huge ranches of this
country. In nearly every locality In
the state farmers are using traction
engines with steam or gasoline for
power to plow and harrow their land.
We know one ranch of $50 acres-not
large for this state-on which the
plowing and narrowing is done with
a 20 horsepower gasoline engine. This
nauls four 14-inch gang plows and a
2-horse harrow-the equivalent of the
work of twenty horses. The distance
traversed over tough soil is from two
to two and half miles an hour One
harrow is placed off to the side so that
the result is double narrowing OF
the tract 1t was considered too small
an area to warrant the initial expense
for the machine, but the owners of the
ranch are satisfied that 1t will save
It's cost in a few years. The time is
coming when the tedium of farm work
will be laid upon machinery.

Keeping the Soil Fertile.

According to Prof. Whitney of the
fureau of Soil, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, soil to be fertile
must contain sufficient quantity OF
the ash ingredients of the plants to be
cultivated, and these must be In such
soluble condition as to be taken up
by the growing plants. Soils once fer
tile are said to be exhausted when de-
priyed of such food as Is required for
plant nutrition, but rest and meliorat-
ing treatment will, in time, restore
such soils to fertile condition.
Until past the year 1850 no just
ideas upon the rotation of crops SEEM
ed to have been formed In any part of
England.
The rotation OF crops affords time
for the disintegrating action Of the at
mosphere, rain and frost to prepare
new material from the rock particles
In the soil and get 1t in a form to be
used by the plant. One crop may use
up the available food Of particular
kind faster than 1t. cen be prepared
by these natural agencies. When prop
erly managed 1t enables one plant to
prepare food for another.
All plants exhaust the soil, though
in an unequal degree; plants Of diff
ferent kinds do not exhaust the soil in
the same manner; all plants do not
restore to the soil a like quantity or
quality Of manure, and all plants are
not equally favorable to the growth
of weeds Upon the above principles
is based regular succession OF crops.
Though the system of rotation Is
adapted to every soil, no particular
rotation can be assigned to any one
description of soil which will answer
at all times, and on the demand for
different kinds Of produce. On clayey
soils, beans and clover, with rye grass
are generally alternated with grain
crops, and on dry loans or sandy
ground turnips, beets, potatoes and
clover. On TlCu SUllo thio oyoe W
alternate husbandry is most conducive
to the plentiful production of food,
both for men and animals. One por-
tion of farm would thus be always
under grain crops, while the other por-
ton was growing roots or cultivated
grasses; but, as the major part OF ar
able lands can not be preserved In a
state of fertility with even this kind OF
management, 1t is requisite that the
portion of the farm which Is under
cultivated grasses should be pastured
for two or three years, in order to give
1t time to recruit The following Is a
good rotation of crops: First year,
clover; second, clover; third, corn;
fourth. oats; fifth, wheat. The clover
does well with oats, and after an early
moving can be very well prepared for
wheat.

A Large Poultry Farm.

Isaac Wilbur of Little Compton, R..
l., has the largest poultry farm In the
world. He ships from 10000 to $780,
900 dozens of eggs year. He keeps
his fowls on the colony plan, housing
about forty in house Sx10 or Sx12
feet in size, these houses being about
150 feet apart, set out In long rows
over the gently sloping fields. He has
100 of these houses scattered over
three or four fields. The food is load.
ed into low wagon, which is driven
about to each house in turn, the at
tendant feeding as he goes; at the
afternoon feeding the eggs are collect.
ed. The fowls are fed twice a day
The morning food is mash of cooked
vegetables and mixed meals; this mash
is made up in the afternoon of the
day before. The afternoon feed is
whole corn the year round.

Whether there is q good or poor
fruit crop it will pay to keep the fruit
trees as free from disease and injuri-
ons insects as possible. The healthy
and uninjured tree is more liable to
bear and prove profitable than the
one full of disease and Injury. The
orchard will last longer If 1t is kept
clean and healthy.
Borers are among the most insidi-
GUS pests of the apple orchard in some
localities. On account Of their habits
they cannot be reached by poisonous
sprays, and nostrums placed about the
roots, as sometimes recommended, are
utterly useless. The most efficient
means of preventing damage from
these pests is by annual inspection OF
the trees and removal of the grubs
with a sharp pointed knife. Various
protective measures are also used.
One of the most effective is to paint
the lower part OF the stem In late
winter or early spring with a fairly
thick paint made from pure ready
mixed paints for this purpose, since
others may contain injurious sub
stances. Wood veneer strips and wire
gauze are sometimes used to prevent
the eggs from being laid on the trunks
of the trees, but white lead paint is
simple and cheaper.
Black rot is a fungous disease which
attacks the fruit, foliage, old bark and
branches of apple and pear trees. The
leaf spot form probably causes more
damage than the other forms. Some
times black rot cankers on the trunk
and the limbs develop so rapidly as to
endanger the life Of trees, but this is
seldom the case except where spraying
is wholly neglected The fruit is rarely
seriously injured, though outbreaks In
this form may sometimes be quite SO
we're.

COST OF A SILK K1MoNo,
Took Three Women and Five Men to
FIX Value ON One in Louisville.


FIX Value ON One I'm Louisville.
1t took five men and three women
at the custom house and the silk buyer
Of Louisville department store to fix
the value of a kimono which arrived
at the office of the surveyor Of customs
for appraisement, the Times Of that
city says.
1t was dainty silken thing, laven-
der in color, which lay on the table
of Cashier Thomas for two hours. The
garment was sent to the custom house
by the postmaster at Somerset, KY,
who received it few days ago through
the mail from Japan. He did not send
in the address Of the owner.

Miller, who measures steamboats, and

inquired Deputy Sam Barber. "They

Finally when the officials decided
that there was nothing dangerous
about the garment they started in fix
ing the value. 1t was estimated to
be worth all the way from $3.50 to
$3.50. The kimono was finally carried
to department store, where the silk
buyer said 1t was worth $14.
Later the kimono was bundled into
a box and started back to the Somer
set postmaster with Instructions tc
charge the owner $500 duty.
