In response TO numerous inquiries
regarding the planting of different
quantities Of seed potatoes per acre, a
series of important tests were made in
Ohio to determine what the difference
was. If any. The experiments were
conducted with the utmost care and
interest.
In the first year were used 10, 10
% and 40 bushels per acre. The seed
pieces were very carefully cut and
accurately weighed in each and every
rate of planting. In the 10 bushels
per acre rows one-eye seed pieces
were used; in the Is bushels per acre,
two eyes; in the 25 bushels per acre.
half tubers; and in the 40 bushels per
acre, whole tubers.
1t was interesting to note the differ
ence between the young plants of the
different sections, as they pushed up
through the soil in due time after
planting. The difference In vigor of
plants, for the first week or two, was
decidedly in favor of the whole tubers.
The plants from the one-eye pieces
were at first much more slender than

How asaken Is Made.

The crown prince of Japan sent
consignment of sake" to the British
crews attacking Kiauchau. This bev-
erage, which should be drunk warm
to appreciate its full flavor, is of
clear. light yellow color and tastes
like highly-seasoned sherry. 1t is
made Of steamed rice. treated by
process which converts the starch In
to sugar; fermentation sets in and
sake is produced The character of
the water has definite effect on the
liquor that results. Hence. for the
best quality OF sake only the best wa
ter is employed. An excise duty
equivalent to 25 cents per gallon is
levied on sake, the amount thus raised
in 1912 totaling $2S,0O0.OOO. The name
is said to be derived from the town OF
0sake, which. from time immemorial.
has been famous for sake brewing.

COAL FIELDS NOT EXHAUSTED
Estimated That Many Millions of
Tons Still Remain to Be
Drawn Upon.

It has been estimated that the
amount of coal which win be dug out
Of the ground in the United States
during the present year will be great
er by far than the total excavation for
the Panama canal.
Experts of the United States geo
logical survey have estimated that
originally there was enough coal in
this country to make a solid block ten
miles long, ten miles wide and ten
miles high. A block of this size would
weigh more than $500. coo. aOO, 600 tons.
and up to the present time the coal
that has been removed amounts only
to something like $4,000. 000,00 tons
The coal mined during 1914 will
amount to about coo, coo. 900 tons, con
tanning about 10000, 600 cubic Yards.
The total excavation for the Panama
CAM from start TO finish is computed
at some 262.000.000 cubic yards.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound

lustre to the hair when faded. streaked

scalp and stops falling hair Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get a large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about 80 cents.

can possibly tell that you darkened

GOOD VENTILATION
IN POULTRY HOUSE
Simplest and Cheapest Way to
Furnish Fresh Air to Fowls
Is to Have Muslin Front.

Fresh air keeps the house pure End
dry. Nothing win cause disease more
readily than damp house or one
which has a foul odor.
There are several ways 10 supply
ventilation, but the simplest and least
expensive is to have an open or mus
lin covered front. These open fronts
on the houses should be protected in
some way to prevent the rains and
SHOWS from being blown into the in
terror. 1t is a good plan to attach
an awning made of wood or some
other light material, arranged in such
a manner that 1t can be lowered or
raised.
Muslin will keep out the cold and
rain to a certain extent, but when it
gets wet the cloth loses some of it's
merit as a ventilator. as damp muslin
will not permit a free passage of air
BY protecting the muslin with an
awning it will not be affected in that
way The muslin should be put on
frame so that 1t can be removed on a
pleasant day, allowing fresh air to
circulate through the house on such
days.

aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver,

plants required greater care in the
first cultivation. but the difference
was not so apparent later on as the
plants gained in size and vigor, and
by the height of the growing season
the individual stalks from the one
eye pieces were as large and strong
as the stalks from the larger pieces.
AS the rate of seeding per acre was
increased, depending on the size of
seed pieces used, in like proportion
was the average number of plants or
stalks per hill increased Increasing
the size of potato seed pieces. there

number of grains per hill in seeding
corn; and from extended observation
in the past as well as from expert
ments conducted. the results in either

prove similar BY increasing the num-
Der of stalks per hill Cup To a certain
limit the total yield may be somewhat
enlarged, but this s.in in yield is often
