Inside the frame exca- yate to depth of about eight inches Then begin by placing thin layer of light material such as straw, leaves or pine needles. On this place layer of from six to ten inches (the thickness of the layer depending upon the eli mate, season and amount of forcing desired) Of fresh horse manure. Mois- ten, level and pack well. Then place a layer of sand or light soil from two to three inches deep.
 The temperature may run high for day or two. In that case the pota- toes should not be placed until the temperature Is about 80 or S5 degrees Fahrenheit. Then the roots are to be bedded, placing them so that they do not touch each other Cover with sand or light soil so that the tops of the potatoes are h inches under the sur face Aid to have the top of the bed come above the level of the soil OH the outside of the frame. The bed should be kept moist but not wet, and the temperature will have to be watch ed for while. The temperature may be allowed to run up to 85 or 90 de grees Fahrenheit for few days, but 1t should be kept as near S0-S5 de grees, and it will gradually fall to about 50 degrees Fahrenheit at plant ing time.
 A cover for the frame can be made of glass sash or muslin frame if 1t desirable to force more rapidly. Glass saah while more expensive at the out set. can be used for many purposes and for a period of several years, while the muslin or cloth will have to be renewed every year.
 If in no great hurry for the slips. beds can be made out doors with ar tificial heat The beds are made by blowing back furrow about four or i've feet wide.
 The plants can be hurried some by blowing under layer of manure.

The usual method of propagating the sweet potato is by means Of sprouts or slips" which are obtained by placing the seed potato under pro- per growing conditions, namely the re- Quired amount of heat and moisture. The most common sense method of producing heat is by a manure heated hot bed.

sE2snSple of oood sanIfatlon.

Example Of good sanifztion and other germs. 1t is soon carried to all barn lots in the neighborhood by such agents as crows. dogs. etc.
 Rains are an agency for the spread of infectious diseases. They wash polluted material into wells. contami-' hating water used for household .pur- poses. Continued loss of hocks and herds Is often due to carelessness in disposing of the dead animals. All such material should be burned at once. as 1t not only kills the infec- tion. but prevents a spread of dis ease.
 A furnace for burning the carcasses of small animals. such as hogs, chick ems and others. can, be constructed very easily with brick or stone. For burning larger animals two ditches should be dug in the shape of cross, 50 the fire will always have sufficient draught. Much difficulty Is often ex- perisnced in burning large carcasses because the fuel is placed around and over the carcass, when it should be placed directly under it.

ALFALFA ON A LIME SOIL
Arkansas College of Agriculture WIIl Furnish Directions For Shipping.

If you have had trouble getting a good stand of clover or alfalfa. it may be because your land is sour These two crops are very sensitive to acid or sour conditions. and will not do well on such soils. The acidity of soils is due to the lack of lime, and it can only be corrected by the appli- cation of finely ground limestone. slaked lime. lime kiln ashes. or some other substance containing lime. Any one who suspects that his soil is acid may have. it tested free by the Ar kansas Agricultural Experiment Sta -ttson at Fayetteville. Full directions for taking and shipping the samples will be sent to all who apply at tho Experiment Station.

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS IN FERTi
 llziNc, PLANTING AND CULT vHfioN OF sTAPLE FOOD PROD UcfADApTAsLE fo ARkAhsAs.

Excepting rice. the potato Is the most widely used food plant for the buman family. It should therefore lind . place on every farm. Original ing in America, 1t has been improved and its cultivation has been increasea ct about the sams rate as has been the increase in population. Tney are nov ' grown in all states of tho Unitea States, but principally In the Northern and Eastern states.
 'sf's' @ Fertilizer.
 Generally speaking, fertilizer con tafning from three per cent to four per cent nitrogen, six percent to eight Der cent phosphoric acid. and nine per cent to 10 per cent of potash will give good results, the kind and amount to apply depending upon the kind or soil and the natural fertility. If the soil Is clayey it will require less pot ash than the sandy types.
 Planting.
 Potatoes should be planted as early as possible in the spring, say, from February 20 in the southern part oI the state to April l in the northern part. Plant about four inches deep in rows three feet apart, planting the pieces one foot apart in the row.
 Of the varieties best suited for Ar. kansas, Red Bliss, Early Ohio and Irish Cobbler are possibly the best early va rieties, while Rural New Yorker No. 2, Carmen No. and Sir Walter Ra- leigh are the best late varieties. There fs no one variety that is best for all soils under all circumstances.
 Cultivation. Cultivation should begin as early as possible after the plants begin to ap- pear, and should continue at intervals of ten days to two weeks. Do not use blows that run deep into the soil, but rather one that has number of small teeth to pulverize and loosen the sosl to a depth of from 2k to inches.
 The object of cultivation is to keep down weeds end to conserve the soil moisture, therefore cultivation should be done as early as possible after a rain even if the ground had been plowed the day before.

BURN INFECTIOUS MATERIAL
Way Diseases That Kill Cattle, Hoos
 and Poultry Are Stopped.

During the course of year 1t is usually necessary to dispose of many dead animals on the average farm. Especially is this true on poultry and stock farm. There is always more or less loss among poultry and hogs. and an occasional loss among cattle and horses. besides trimmings and offals from birds and animals that are being dressed for table use.
 Many times this material is simply removed some distance from the buildings and there allowed to decay. If the material contains anything of an infectious nature. such as tuber- culosis, hog cholera, chicken cholera

COUNTRY LIFE TODAY

To the Editor of the Telegraph
Dear Sir: At this juncture many of
our city residents are under the i'm
preston that on account of the abnor-
NAL prices of grain farmers are real
izing enormous returns. Now read
reader If YOU are a mechanic. IL you
are in comfortable circumstances and
able to make both ends meet, don't
magnify the present call to the land
too alluringly. Conditions are abnor-
NAL now and before the war ends you
may see 80 or 80 cent wheat again.
There is an enormous increased acre
age OF Fall wheat with an added in
creased acreage of Spring wheat. With
the warning nations in financial re-
straint what outlet is there for our
enormous surplus in case the 1915
yield runs to the gigantic figures of
our 1914 crop. The warning countries
are alert to their opportunity. They
know the war is certain to advance the
cost of staple commodities. In my
opinion they are not buying wheat for
immediate consumption, $3.50 is still
less than 50 or $3.50 and to wait until
the price scars to unreasonable figures
would certainly display lamentable ig-
norance in all countries where con-
sumption exceeds the supply. If Eng
land, France, Germany or other coun-
tries are strong and buying for future
use, what will be the situation when
the increased acreage of wheat grow
ing countries is put on the market. In
some sections of York county hun
dreds of bushels had TO be miIIed and
was sold around the 81 mark on ac-
count OF the weevil. Farmers finan-

cially able could not hold their grain
for the advance in price.
This presents my opinion of the
wheat situation. Now go into the mar
ket for feed wheat. Bran costs $2S
per ton, corn is advancing and the
price of pork decreasing. Poultry,
eggs and dairy products are no higher
than usual at this time, but cost con-
siderable more to produce. Mineral
plant food has advanced so excessive
ly, making its use almost prohibitive.
All will admit that S1.60 is a liberal
price for wheat, bat If you realize this
only once in Is years it is not going
to make you q swelled head or finan-
cially independent. BY summing up
the increased cost of secondary prod
ucts. Mineral plant food and annual
losses of live stock the farm presents
another aspect | am by no means
averse to country life. In reality 1t
is the only life" In no place un-
der the sun can families live more in
dependently on their isolated domain.
Pure water, pure invigorating air and
enough to eat are more certain than
in any other calling. Residents of
cities should bear in mind that condi-
tions are abnormal now. | know that
thousands hope for the day when they
can own a little country home all to
themselves. But bear in mind you
must grow your wheat before you can
sell 1t and you can't count on the pres
ent prices for grain. Don't forget last
years cotton situation. The increased
acreage of Fall-sown wheat in the
cotton growing States alone is 1,S12,-
900 acres. How about the middle and
central West, and northern wheat
growing countries? No excessive for
tunes have been accumulated grain
farmers in the East. Our present
methods are too expensive, and waste
full, and If you think farmers are now
coming money, jump right into the
game and enjoy this wave of pros
perity with us.
But before you do this be sure you
are able and qualified to master your
situation. A practical and technical
knowledge of agriculture is far more
comprehensive than single study of
botony, chemistry entomology, zoolo-
gy, soil fertility, plant life. animal hus-
bandry, etc. 1t includes all these, and
many more of which a thorough
knowledge can be gained only by prac-
tical work, observation and expert
ence.
In view of the fact that farming will
endure more neglect than many other,

of the coal wharf at Market street Su-
perintendent Taylor was asked what
plans had been made or were contem
plated for the permanent treatm ent
there. Just below the Walnut street
bridge tons of earth had been taken
away by the wall contractors. The
question of providing for the neces-
sary fill will be looked into by the
superintendent of parks
"Will that point be filled out in con-
nection with your proposed treatment
of the river slopes?" Mr.. Taylor was
asked.
If Wharf is Eliminated
"Who scooped that out?" questioned
the commissioner. Wasn't that done
by the wall contractors? l don't know
definitely about that and before | can
talk intelligently on the subject l must
make some inquiries. I don't know
whether, under the circumstances the
Board of Public Works would be re-
sponsible or not. However, If the
wharf is removed why there will have
to be some permanent treatment and
we will arrange for that.
LAS to that section below Market
street and north of Mulberry the banks
will be filled and sloped to a uniform
line. At this point we will not fill out
to the nineteen foot line as it is the
intention to establish little depres-
sed park there. Furthermore, we
would like to build a municipal boat
third class city act now pending in the
Legislature. becomes a law, we will
have full authority to go ahead with
the construction this summer. At any
rate we would like to at least start it
this year"
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-02-18

Mr.. Seitz will not touch upon the
North Front street question until af-
ter the viewers for the condemnation
or the 'HardscraDbIe" district have
oeen appointed and the work of the
board started. The same viewers will
not serve in both capacities, as it is
desired to have the "Hardscrabble''
board deal only with the properties
IN that territory-between Calder and
Herr streets.
In the meantime City Commissioner
M Harvey Taylor, superintendent OF
parks, is planning to start the en-
pankment improvement work as soon
as the weather permits. For the last
several weeks each from the excaya :
tions of the proposed Pennsy freight
site in South Second street have been
hauled to the section north of Hard
scrabble" and dumped over the bank.
The city has contracted for $4,000
yards.
ITO date we've dumped 5000 yards
or material up there" said Mr.. Tay-
lor yesterday" and the big trucks are
still hauling
Filling Now at Reilly
How far has the work progressed ?''
the park superintendent was asked.
From Maclay street to Kelker the
slopes have been pretty nearly filled
out as far as we intend doing it. We
have started the dumping now in the
vicinity of Reilly street"
will the proposed '1ll' be of uni
form width from 'Hardscrabble' north
ward?"
We'll. IL you mean will the bank be
filled out to the same distance the en-
bire stretch between 'Hardscrabble'
and Maclay streets-no. What we are
doing, of course, is to follow the line
of the wall, uniformly. We are re-
quired to keep the base of the slope
to within nineteen feet of the wall cop
ing. This is to allow fourteen feet for
the sidewalk and five feet for the gut
ter or ditch which will be necessary
to drain the walk and prevent the
pavement from being flooded in time
of heavy rains. The ditch will include
a gutter of concrete. perhaps, which
will be two feet wide. The slopes of
the drain will be sodded."
Treating the Slopes
What is to be done in the way of
treating the slopes?''
Shrubbery, barberry bushes and
matrimony vine will be planted on the
slopes for the double purpose of beau
tifying the banks az well as to sup
port them. Some of the trees that
we've planned for along the top of the
embankment have been set out"

NEW MARKET WANTS STATION

To the Editor of the telegraph:
Dear Sir: Owing to the fact that
the case of the people of the beauti-
full little town of New Market situated
along the main line of the PennsyI-
vania railroad, York county, comes be-
fore the Public Service Commission in
petition for a station at this time, and
having held a long continuous resi-
dence in New Market, feel that it is
apropos that these few remarks may
be made and given to the attention of
the good people of New Market
through the medium of your valuable
paper. To any one who is acquainted
with the natural advantages possessed
