Second Crop of Potatoes.

To grow a second crop of Irish DO
tatoes to be used for winter uses is a
perplexing problem for the farmer
Keeping the first crop over for winter
use Is almost impossible and It Is A
choice Of buying the winter supply OF
growing the second crop.
The greatest difficulty In planting
the first crop seed is In getting a
stand. The new potatoes will not ger.
inmate readily, and II planted only a
small percentage will grow.
Some growers overcome this diff.
Guilty by placing the seed potatoes, as
soon as they are dug, In a moist, fairly
cool place such as In a shallow trench
In the shade OF tree. Or by cutting
In halves, spreading on the ground
and covering with pine needles kept
moist They are then watched, and as
they show signs OF sprouting are
planted In deep furrows, covering
lightly at hrst, working the soil to
them as they grow until level. Then
cultivate shallow and level, Some va.
rieties make better second crop than
others, among which are Early Rose
Bliss Triumph, Irish Cobbler and
Peerless, Plant In soil where the mois,
ture has been retained.

MOTHER CATS LOVE FOR KITTENS
Citizen OF Sidney Section Tells Pathetic Story
OF Mother Love OF Cat.

j. H. Mckee, an old citizen of the
Sidney section, who was in to see
us a few days ago, relates an un-
usual circumstance showing the
strength of mother love existing in
the cat family.
Some time ago the old favorite
family cat at MIR. McKee's place
was the mother Of four or five
young kittens, for the comfort and
accommodation of which bed was
made in a barrel in the smoke house
by young grandson of Mr.. Mckee.
In few days the cat and the kit
tens were missing, which fact oc-
casioned a good deal of surprise and
regret among members of t III e
family, especially upon the part of
the young grandson or two, who
reside at the home of Mr.. Mckee.
Within a few days Mr.. Mckee
was going over his premises and de-
cided to burn a brush heap. Stick
ing a match to the brush, a great
blaze was quickly made, and to the
great surprise of Mr.. Mckee, the
family cat, bearing small kitten
in her mouth, came running out
from the flames. Laying the kitten
upon the ground, she started as if
to 90 back into the fire after the
remainder of her family, and seeing
that further rescue would be i'm
possible, Mr.. Mckee says the cat
gave two Of the most agonizing
screams he has ever heard from
any scource, and, picking up the
kitten from the ground, marched
deliberately back into the flames
and perished with her kittens.
This incident made a decided
impression upon Mr.. Mckee, who
says that no person could have
witnessed the act without being
forced to give the cat due credit for
a liberal share of that mother love
than which there is none stronger.

ALFALFA At PROFIT
ON ARKANSAS FARM
Farmer Tells How EIe Experimental
With This Forage Crop to Get Good
Yield.

II was on a hill farm in Washington
County. The first cutting came off
May Is, and yielded a little more than
ton to the acre. The second cut
ting was ready the second week Of
June and yielded even better. The
third growth was cut July 10 with as
large crop as before. And the field
continues to grow, and with hay sell,
ing at s18 ton.
In giving his reasons for his sue
cess with alfalfa the owner of the farm
made the following statement:
81 first tried alfalfa in 1912, and fol
lowing the advice Of neighbors, l
worked my soil up is good shape and
seeded in the spring. I got a good
stand, but later in the season the
plants turned yellow and finally the
weeds took the crop"
"I was strongly impressed with the
possibilities of the alfalfa crop and
began reading alfalfa literature in
farm papers. To grow alfalfa success
fully l found one must have a rich,
we'll drained, we'll lined soil. 1nocu-
lation was recommended where
neither alfalfa nor sweet clover had
ever been grown. Alfalfa growers all
advised that field to be seeded to al
falfa should be given special attention
to lower the risk from weeds"
"The field which aimed to put into
alfalfa consisted Of three acres Of fair
upland with good drainage In the
spring Of 1918 I fertilized with barn
yard manure at the rate Of IL tons to
the acre and planted to cowpeas. This
crop served as a smother crop to clear
the land Of weeds. I turned these un-
der to g good depth about August IS,
cutting up the vines with a disc har-
row before doing so. Later I applied
airslaked lime at the rate of 1000
pounds to the acre. Late in the after.
noon Of the day before seeding l dis.
tributed soil from an old alfalfa field
over the field to be planted at the
rate OF four or five hundred pounds TO
the acre, and followed with a spike
tooth harrow, This plan avoided the
exposure Of nitrogen fixing bacteria to
the direct rays of the sun.
THE seed was sown broadcast upon
the well-frmed seed bed. A good
growth was made in the fall which
was allowed to remain for winter pro.
lection. No great difficulty was ex.
perienced the following season with
weeds and four fairly good crops were
taken off the field"
