GROWING POTATO
UNDER A COVER
Straw Keeps Soil Cool and Moist,
Right Condition for the
Best Field.

Potatoes may be grown under straw
as well as in the soil. The straw
keeps the soil cool and moist, Just in
the right condition for best yield.
The following method of culture is
given by Maryland farmer who has
followed this system for several years.
He says: MY ground was plowed in
he fall of 1911. Last spring, when the
ground was dry, the land was well
narrowed and the rows marked out
two inches in depth. Early Rose po-
tatoes, cut to one eye and busted with
plaster, were dropped ten inches apart
in the furrow and covered about two
inches in depth with the fine soil.
Two weeks after planting the en-
tire ground was covered with six
inches of partly rotted wheat straw
and chaff The shoots pushed above
the straw three weeks after planting,
and made strong growth. No cult
walton was given. The vines were
busted with plaster and paris green
as soon as the bugs appeared. Two
applications were made, as worms
were pretty thick in midsummer. The
potatoes we're ripe and fit to eat by
the middle of July. When boiled the
flesh was dry and well favored, and
when roasted in the ashes the potatoes
when broken open were of a floury
quality From the two bushels plant
ed / obtained 21A bushels of good
sized and two and a half bushels OF
small potatoes. This was not a large
yield / am satisfied that the yield
could have been increased by the use
Of a good kind of bone fertilizer The
ground was not MANFRED or fortified
for the potatoes, as the ground had
been heavily dressed with yard ma
nure the year before for growing
truck. This is a good way to grow
potatoes for family use by those hav-
ing plenty of straw. Rotted stalks
may be used IL straw cannot be had.

ing. For the important thing about
it is not so much the garden that re-
suits as 1t is the knowledge of how to
do things that grows out of the work
that is undertaken.
Encourage the children to share the
flowers they grow with those who
love flowers but have none of their
own. Let them bring some of them to
the Sunday school and the church,
and be sure to have them remember
the shut-ins, and the sick. This will
help them form habit of thoughtful
ness for others, and the pleasure that
grows out of these little acts will be
strong encouragement for more ex
tensive gardening operations another
season.

am a thorough believer in training
children to think they amount to
something" by giving them something
to do that involves responsibility.
Don't make the task too hard, for II
you do that you defeat the object at
which you aim, but let 1t be one that
obliges the child to think something
put for himself. When he does this
once he has laid the foundation for a
habit of thinking out things" and be-
fore long you will find him depending
upon himself, rather than upon you,
In the solution of many little prob
lens that he has to face. A child
likes to feel that others think him
equal to the performance of tasks that
are put before him. and, feeling this,
he will respond nobly to the estimate
you have of his ability IL you give him
to understand that 1t exists. Don't
take it for granted that boy knows
all about what you think of him I'M
less you tell him something about It.
Take him into your confidence, and
let him know that you consider him a
man in the making, and you'll be
surprised at the effect it has on him.
But that's another story" as Kip
ling says. What | set out to talk
about was the ACCESSIBILITY of giving
the children a garden of their own to
work in, and showing them how to do
that work. A child is an initiative
creature, and the lessons he gets the
greatest amount of benefit from are
object lessons, always. Spade up bit
Of ground and let him see you do it,

FERTILIZER MIXING
EASILY MASTERED
Work Can Well Be Done in Late
February or Early March
Equipment Needed.
BY NJ. ROBERTS coNovER.)


Mixing ones fertilizer is distinct
advantage as 1t insures a proper pro-
portion of ingredients as we'll as pur-
ity. Although there are reliable fer,
tilizer dealers who will mix up the
desired quantity of fertilizer according
to a given formula at very reasonable
prices, knowing ones soil and how to
augment its plant-growing properties
by contributing the right elements of
plant food lifts the farmer above the
grade of the blind, haphazard struggle,
to the level of the scientific worker.
Although the proper proportion OF
ingredients for certain crops is the re-
suit of experience and research, the
actual work of fertilizer mixing Is sim
pie and easily mastered.
The work can we'll be done in late
February or early March for the mix.
lures needed early and on rainy days
later in the season for the later lots.
| The least experienced of hired men
can do the work IL one sets the ex-
ample and superintends the process.
The needed equipment is a dry
floor, reliable platform scale, a wire
screen of half.inch mesh, a SCOOP, a
heavy implement for breaking up
lumpy ingredients and some bags to
receive the mixture.
Dried blood, ground bone. acid phos-
phate, tankage, sulphate OF ammonia,
nitrate of soda. cottonseed meal, etc.
present no unsurmountable difficult
ties. Nitrate of soda and other in.
| gradients inclined to be lumpy are
easily crushed They should be sifted
before adding them to the other ma.
| terials.
| It is easier to work up the fertilizer
in half-ton lots. First spread upon the
floor the proper proportion by weight
of any one ingredient and spread the
others upon 1t in layers.
Portions of any ingredient used in
much larger quantity than the others
| should be interspersed through the
heap in several layers. For instance,
finely ground bone. being very light,
mixes much better when layered in
small quantities between the other in
gradients.
After the heap is completed shovel
1t over three times, shoveling down
into the mess to insure thorough mix
ing After mixing screen It by shovel,
ing through the inclined screen.
All of the nitrate of soda required
| by any formula need not be mixed
into the fertilizer but reserved for ap.
plication to the crop upon the surface
of the soil after 1t is growing well.

cisely as you did it, so far as his
strength will admit of 1t. But don't
spade the ground without telling him
why you do it, Give a reason for all
you do. And do not get impatient
over the questions he asks. That's
how he is to learn things.
When you give a bit of ground to
boy or girl, as garden, give them to
understand that in order to make it
their very own" it will be necessary
for them to take care of it, and you
will find them very enthusiastic over
the undertaking. But don't let their
enthusiasm get the better of your
judgment and result in giving them
more of garden than they can care
for well. Impress upon them that a
little work done we'll is a good deal
better than larger amount of work
poorly done.
Spading the ground and working it
over and over to make 1t mellow will
be play to a healthy boy or girl.
About all you will have to do in their
garden is to direct matters. Show

LITTLE THINGS TO
DO IN AN ORCHARD
Cleaning Up and Moderate Prun-
ing Makes Work Much Easier
in the Spring.

Peach trees under four years old
which are so badly frozen as to show
discolored wood must be cut off below
the snow line and allowed to sprout
again.
Very often trees that have passed
through hard winter show no indi
cations of freezing in the bark, but
an examination may show that the
wood is injured.
An orchard on high ground should
always be protected by wind break
OF other trees planted on the north
side.
Norway Spruce, Scotch and Aus
trian Pine, planted about Is feet apart
make excellent wind breaks.
Cleaning up the orchard and moder
ate pruning now will make the work
much easier in the spring.
Now is the time to romeve all dead
branches and those that are weak, and
which Interfere with other healthy
branches.
Do not allow sheep to run In the
young orchard. They are very apt to
nibble the tender sprouts and even
bark the trees.
A few years ago eastern peach
growers extensively tried out the use
of crude petroleum as an insecticIde.
But while 1t kills the bugs it often
causes great injury to the trees.

In the late fall or very early spring
and never during hot weather.

Poultry marketed from the farm
consists of cockerels, or males under
one year ROSTERS, pullets culled from
standardized stock, hens. guineas,

To bring the highest market price,

disclosed by white or black comb

All poultry marketed should be fat.
This condition is the chief factor in

Farming without a crop rotation OF
some sort. in my opinion, is most un-
profitable. On my farm my rotation
consists of wheat, followed by oats,
then barley and corn. Rotation tends
to produce bigger yields and keeps
the land clean, says a writer in an
exchange. Corn is almost necessary
