inches came up first, those at six
inches second. while the rows planted
At eight inches came up last. There
was a difference of about two days be-
tween each set. The set planted at
four inches grew fastest and produced
somewhat stockier vines. The deep
est planting was not quite as good d
stand, although the difference was not
very great.
Exactly the same treatment as to
cultivating. spraying. etc. was given
to all the rows. No weeds were al
lowed to grow, and the beetles were
killed before they did any material
damage. The crop was dug the latter
part of September, with the following
results: The potatoes planted four
inches deep yielded at the rate Of
140 bushels per acre; the six-inch
depth yielded at the rate Of 124 bush
els per acre. and the eight-inch depth,
102 bushels per acre.
From this 1t would seem that six
inches would be the maximum depth
at which to plant potatoes.

following directions for breeding
and rearing minks:
There should be only ono male
to five or six females. and each OF
the latter should have a separate
pen at breeding time. If this pre-.
he not taken. the females
are liable to kill each others young.
The male would also kill them II
he had chance. Hence the male
should be kept by himself except al
mating time. The breeding season
begins about the middle OF Feb
ruary, and the young are born
about the middle of April.
The minks should be fed on
bread and sweet milk, or corn mush
with bits IF meat in 1t, supple
mented by meat or fish twice a
week. Feed once day; but fe-
males sucking young should have
two meals daily. DO not salt the
food; keep the pans clean, and pro-
vide plenty of fresh water.
Pens should he five or six feet

boards cut four feet long and set
up with the lower end resting on
a footing Of stone or concrete
Heavy wire netting may be used
instead Of boards, but in that case
the top must be Melted TO prevent
the animals from climbing out. The
floor Of the pen should be
bare ground.
Boxes two feet square
should be provided for nests,
with hinged lids to allow
their being opened and ex-
amined. They should be three
or four inches above the
b ground, and as dark as pos
S4 sible, with hole four inches

Meanwhile the production

is to be soon established as
an industry in this country

Industry, which has already &C

of superior animals to serve as
