USES FOR THE DISK HARROW
One Of Most Valuable Farm lmple-
ments-lndispensabIe in Preparing
Sod for Potatoes.

The disk harrow is one Of the most
valued implements on the farm. 1t Is
almost Indispensable in the prepare
ton Of sod ground for potatoes or
corn.
One of the most important uses OF
this implement is to break up the sur
face soil few days in advance of the
pillow, so that capillary attraction of
moisture will be readily established
with the subsoil.
1t effectually seals the surface of the
unplowed land SO that 1t will keep
moist for longer period of time, and
consequently plow easier in case a
drought comes on so as to seriously
interfere with the work of blowing.

ACID PHOSPHATE is USEFUL
Ohio Station Recommends Its Use to
Re-enforce 6arnyard Manure to
Maintain Fertility.

Since phosphorus is carried off the
farm in relatively large amounts in
grain crops, in the bones of animals,
and In milk. sol specialists of the Ohio
station recommend the use of acid
phosphate rock to reinforce barnyard
manure If the fertility of the soil is
to be maintained. Acid phosphate is
more generally recommended, because
under average conditions it IS more eff
fective and more economical than he
raw rock.

Cooperate in Shipping.

In the shipment of butter to mar

cries situated close together may
often effect economies in transporta-

car service and by assembling local
shipments into carload lots which may
be shipped at lower freight costs.
Many country creameries, 1t was
found, consigned their butter to whole
sale butter receivers who often func-

among the larger creameries and, to
some extent, among smaller ones, is
to distribute directly to the retailer.

NEW VARIETIES OF POTATOES
Produced on Vines-PIant in Hot
house or Cold Frame.

New varieties Of potatoes are orig
mated from seed which is found In
the bolls produced on the vines. The
seed which is light and fine should be
saved in the same manner as the seed
from tomatoes.
Cut open the bolls and squeeze out
the seeds into small vessel with as
little pulp as possible. Add warm
water and allow the mess to ferment
for two days so that the little seeds
will wash clear from the pulp. After
being washed the seeds should be
dried, in which condition they will
keep through the winter. Anyone who
tries to carry the seed boil through
the winter will likely lose all the
seeds.
Along In March prepare some fine,
ich light soil that will hold moisture.
Rotten COW manure several years old
Is better than common soil. The seed
may be Wanted in dollhouse, cold
frame or In box in the kitchen win
dow. 1t should be covered very slight
ly with soil and must be kept moist
by frequent watering or by covering
with a piece of cloth until the seeds
begin to break ground.
The plants come up quickly and
should be transplanted and handled
like tomatoes. They will frequently
produce tubers the first year that will
weigh a pound. Each seed will pro-
duce distinct variety. Promising
new varieties must be grown for sew
eral years and tested in the fields
alongside Of standard sorts for al
least two years before their true
| value can be determined.

Increase Of underqrades.

At certain seasons the market spe-
cialists found on the markets an in
creasing quantity OF inferior quality Of
butter which Is known as under
grades" This inferior quality, If de-
veloped. Is often due to the use Of
cream Of poor quality and, to some
extent, to faulty methods of manufac
ture. The more common faults OBJ
served in the quality of this butter
were soft, leaky, open body; too much
or not enough salt; too high or too
light color; metallic flavors; high acid,
unclsnn. and old cream flavors streaks
and uottles; mold on butter; also
molly and dirty packages. Butter pos
sesying such faults, although not al
Ways classed as "undergrades," is
often Disseminated against by the
critical buyer. During those seasons
when the market receipts are heavy
and the market is weak such butter

THANKSGIVING
BD REV. JAMES M. FARR

Thanksgiving IS not a day; it is a habit. We cannot be thankful on Thanksgiving day unless we have been learning how every other day in the year. There are some simple rules: Walk on the sunny side of the street: live as much as possible in the best room in the house; think about your friends, not your enemies; talk about your good luck, not your bad. These are some of the ways of acquiring the spirit of cheerfulness which is. the only soil on which the flower Thanksgiving will grow.

Anniston. November 7.--(specisll At meeting between Lieut. Col Charles L. Dufin. constructing quarter
 master at Camp Mcclellan. the county commissioners. and several citizens i from Anniston at the county court house Wednesday afternoon. the de-
 tails of a proposition submitted earlier in the day by Colonel Dulin to build a permanent brick highway between Anniston and Camp Mcclellan were thoroughly thrashed out. and 1t is probable that the county win appro- priate S70.000 to secure the building of this road.
 Colonel Du1in submitted facts and figures showing that a 2O-foot briciS road. equipped with concrete shoulders can be erected at a cost Of approHi- mately s125,OoO to S14o.000 and he as- sured the county commissioners that the war department has always met the various boards at least halfway in matters pertaining to the public good and to the making of permanent inn provements.
 Colonel Dulin made tha statement during his address that the Camp Me- Clellan reservation is recognized by tho war department officials as ono of the best cantonmeut sites in the United States; that it is the only res- ervation in the country capable of fur nishing camping facilities for 100000 soldiers, and that the transportation problem between Anniston and Camp Mcclellan must be satisfactorily solved in order to insure the permanency Of the present training camp.
 Another significant statement mada by Colonel Dulin was to the effect that satisfactory settlement of the trans portation problem would result ia the sending of at least another dIviSiesn hero for training.
 Traffic on the Jacksonville pikss ls increasing with each day and the need for a permanent road. the upAf ep CE which will be reduced to the lowest possible minimum, seetns to be an ab- solute necessity aceeraing to tho opinS ion of the chief quarteruaster and the business men who seconded his request to the commissioners.
