BUMPER CROPS OF POTATOES

Exhausted Ground-care in irri-
cation Necessary.

We can see NJ sense in trying to
grow a bumper crop OF spuds on ole
exhausted ground. Turn under a thick
coating Of manure on a third crop OF
alfalfa, water thoroughly and then try
the thing out this spring. If early pc
tatoes are desired plant the last OF
March. If late, the last of May and
even up to the middle OF June, but
never between these periods. Do not
water until blossoming and then keel
moisture continually at the roots. but
never wet the tubers. This can only
be done by deep burrows and using 8
very small stream of water in alter
nate rows. Next time water the othe,
rows and plow in each time after IT.
rigating, but keep this nj idea in
mind: to have the roots moist and the
tubers dry while the tops will take
care of themselves. If the soil around
the potatoes becomes too wet, it viii!
bake and harden until growth is
stopped, but if kept loamy, the spuds
will have a smooth. shiny skin and q

In arid regions most cultivated

The character of the subsoil may be

This is an old custom, fast dying

Somerset and Devon. At Wooton-
Bassct, zeal Minehead, the ceremony
takes place on old Twelfth eve. All
assemble at the farmhouse and after
Il hearty meal form Il procession to
the nearest orchard, the master in
front with a light and men with old
guns, blunderbusses and anything that
makes a noise in the rear. Plenty Of
cider is taken and some pieces Of
toast.
When the orchard is reached a ring
is formed, and the master, in the cen
ter, seizes a branch and sings Il verse
beginning ooh, apple tree. I wassail
thee. in hopes that thou wilt blow"
Then all shout in chorus:
Hatfuls. capfuls. three bushel bagfuls,
Barn floorfuls. tullet holefuls
And a little heap under the stairs.
Then follow cheers. drinking of
healths, shouts of ':Now. Tom Pod. we
wassail thee!' and the placing of the
pieces of toast, soaked in cider, among
the branches for the robins.-London

FARM NOTES.

There is never any harm done soil
In working the surface in a dry state,
Winter rains and SHOWS and sum.
mer rains fill the hills and other land
full of water.
When the soil crumbles in the hand.
and does not pack, is the time to start
the cultivator.
Although the watermelon is a sue.
culent fruit, wet is more damaging ia
it than drouth.
To manipulate colonies SO as not to
swarm at all when run for comb honey
is a thing yet to be discovered.
Implement dealers report difficulty
in getting pumping gasoline engines
fast enough to supply the demand.
The best time to kill the weeds is
before they come up and before they
have robbed the corn of moisture and
nourishment.
Keeping the pasture clean of unde'
sirable growth means more grass for
the animals, which means more sure
and easy money.
Pleasant surroundings and modern
conveniences, easily obtainable, will
go a long way in keeping the boys and
girls on the farm.
When the seeds are sown and the
transplanting is mostly done in the
family fruit and vegetable garden, one
must begin cultivation.
When the disk turns dry soil it al
ways leaves it in a more or less dust
form, which is the best condition fos
leaving any soil for seeding.
When a day comes SO that regular
field work cannot be done, take the AK
brush scythe and grubbing hoe and
work in the permanent pasture.
Buckwheat is the most widely
known source of the dark honeys, and
perhaps the only one which has ever
become popular as a table honey.
The gospel of corn improvement is
now spreading rapidly among the
farmers and the younger generation
through the agency of natural forces
The most valuable farms were al
one time sloughs and swamps, and
considered worthless. Drainage has
made them what they are now-valu
able.
We should cultivate to aerate the
soil, and to make use of the principle
Of capillary attraction, to bring up the
water in the water veins under the
soil, where plants can use it.

The Porcupine.

Mother Nature surely must have set
out to make something different" the
day she invented the porcupine. Here
was an animal with a pathetically
mild disposition, without cunning or
courage and almost as slow and clum-
sy as a turtle. 1t would have been
absurd to give him weapons of de-
tense; he would never have the energy
to attack anything, Sc he was given a
coat of mail in which he might walk
abroad among his enemies and yet be
as safe us though he were behind Il
wall of steel. His upper parts. from
his nose to the tip of his thick, muscu-
lar tail, arc covered with a mass of
sharp pointed quilts intermixed with
coarse hair. Each quill is provided
with u number of minute barbs point
ing backward, so that when it is once
inserted in the flesh of any animal the
mere movement of the muscles will
cause it to work deeper and deeper

THE FOG BUOY.
A Safeguard to Fleets Of Warships In
Thick Weather.

Thick Weather.
Probably the greatest menace to the
safely of navigation at sea is the fog.
Modern steamships are seldom endan-
gered by the most severe weather, but
when the impenetrable envelope of
mist incloses Il ship she is exposed to
the most terrible of perils, a collision
at sea. "A single ship may be compar-
atively safe eve in a fog, but where
there is a feet of vessels the danger
is greatly multiplied. There is always
considerable danger, too, On account of
the fact that many of the ship lines
have what could be termed a beaten
path across the ocean. and they al
ways follow this route when possible.
In addition to the customary fog
horns and sirens, Il feet Of warships
often keep Informed of their relative
positions by the firing of signal guns
at intervals only a few minutes apart.
Another method used is the fog buoy.
Zach vessel in the feet, especially if 1t
Is a warship fleet, carries a fog buoy,
a large cask painted a vivid red. This
is cast overheard at the first sign of a
fog, and it floats from the stern of the
vessel. attached to a rope Of grass
