Wheat responds to the use of fer
tilizers more readily than most farm
crops.
There are many crops which may
be sown in the spring and make ex-
cellent pastures.
Wood ashes may be applied at the
rate of 20 to so bushels, 1000 to 1000
pounds to the acre.
Fall-plowed ground can be planted
fully ten days earlieA than ground
that is plowed in the kpring.
One ton of good w& pd ashes will
contain about lao pournls. of potash
and 40 pounds of phosphorfi acid.
Wood ashes should not Ne placed
under hen roosts or in stables because
potash liberates the manure chnd the
ashes as fertilizers is deteriortted.

BEATS OLD SCOOP SHOVEL
Portable Grain Elevator Renders Ono
Of Hardest Tasks on Farm a
Comparatively Easy Ono.

One Of the hardest jobs on the farm
is shoveling ear corn from a wagon
into a high crib or shed. So strenu-
GUS is this exertion that many farm
workmen decline to work on farm
where large corn crops are handled.
The invention of the portable grain
elevator has rendered this task a light
and easy one. 1t takes pretty good
shoveler to empty big load of corn
from a wagon into high crib in 80
minutes and when the job is finished

One Feeders Method,

turned them into clover, rape and
grain fields for a week. Then be
gradually worked them into stand
ing field of corn. Between this and
the meadows the sheep got into a
fine condition of flesh by the middle
OF November.
The sheep before this time were
gradually accustomed to clover hay
and finished on corn and barley. The
bulk OF the feed was gathered by
the sheep themselves. thus reducing
the cost Of harvesting. The more ex-
pensive feed used In finishing was re-
CURED for only short time.

KEEP SEED POTATOES COOL
Farmers Should Endeavor to Have
temperature for Tubers at
About 80 Degrees.
By WIN. H. UNDERWOOD. 1llinois.)

(By WIN. H. UNDERWOOD. Illinois)
Potatoes intended for seed should
be kept hard and plump during the
winter, and this can be done only by
keeping them 80 cool that they will
not sprout.
When potatoes sprout they take
part of the starch that is stored up
In them and manufacture it into living
cells. This energy Is all wasted for
the sprouts have to be pulled off.
Some farmers make it point to
"sprout" their potatoes once or twice
during the winter, this being done to
prevent their growing. But the amount
of energy thus lost is considerable
and the loss increases as the winter
draws to close.
| raise potatoes in large quantities,
and each year place them in cold
storage. l prefer to pay the expense
Of the storage and be sure that they
are kept in a perfectly plump state,
rather than to keep them in a room
with a high temperature, as is done
by some.
In the spring the potatoes come out
OF the cold storage house in perfect
condition, and it takes but a few
weeks for them to develop strong
sprouts that rise out of the soil and
develop strong stalks and leaves.
Many farmers have not the opportu-
nifty to put their potatoes in cold
storage houses, but they should en-
deavor to keep their potatoes at a
very low temperature. The nearer
33 degrees potatoes are kept, the
better.

A NEOlITHIC VllLA16'

What is thought to be a neonthic
walled village has been discovered
near the main road between Harroga'e

miles from Otley. by w. Storey OF
Fewston. member of the Royal Arch
geological society of Great Britain and
Ireland. The discovery may be divid-
ed in.o two parts. says the London
Times. In a dell behind a hill are
twenty-four stone circles, varying In
diameter from twenty to three feet,
the whole being surrounded by evil
dences of stone wall. One OF the
stone circles was a we'll. and two 9TH
ers are indisputably iron-smelting fur
naces. A number OF stone implements,
which experts ascribe to the neolithic
period. have been found. On site

somewhat of an anomaly to the west
ern eyes, for he is not the son of the
empress Of Japan, but of one Of

he has ever been.

fancy, a palace of his own, not, how,
ever, distant from the emperors.
With all this atmosphere of the
feudal, however, Yoshihito is thor
oughly in accord with the modern
spirit of his country. In many re.
spects he is tlnged with European
habits to a degree not even ap.
preached by his father.
In 1906, when his three-storied pal
ace was built at cost of 100000, it
was European rather than Japanese
in character. Even in his unofficial
moments, too, he uses European dress.
Such is a slight portrait Of Yoshi
hito, new emperor Of Japan, who, pre-
sumably, will desert his own palace
and inherit that in which the late en-
peror lived.
