WY Sweet Potatoes. ~

The sweet potato thrives best in the
southern part of the country as it is
tropical plant. 1t cannot be sue
cessfully grown in the extreme north
ern sections of the country. The
plants are started in hotbeds by bed
ding potatoes in sand and allowing
them to sprout. The plants are brok-
en- off the parent potato as soon as
they have formed a few leaves and
root system of their own, and as soon
as the ground in the open is well
warmed up. This will be one month
after the date of the last killing frost.
Sweet potatoes are a heat-loving
plant, and cannot Withstand cool
weather. In setting them in the open,
the usual method is to throw the soil
up in ridges about feet apart. The
plants are set in row on top Of these
ridges some II or II inches apart.
Sweet potatoes thrive best in a.
sandy soil that is we'll fortified
throughout. 1t is good plan to open
burrows where the row is to be, fill
these burrows with manure and turn
the soil back on top of the manure.
This should be thoroughly mixed with
a shovel pillow or cultivator, as too
much manure in one spot under the
hole will produce a large growth of
vines at the expense of the potatoes.
Sweet potatoes may be dug at any
time after they become large enough
to use, but improve in quality as they
approach maturity. They should be
dug as soon as the vines are killed
by frost.-U. S. Department of Agri-
culture. =.

~ Snap Beans. ~

Bush and pole beans are among the
most valuable and dependable crops of
the garden. "When in doubt what to
plant-plant BEANS"
Beans thrive best in rather warm
sandy loan, but may be grown on al
most any kind of soil. For the best
results the soil should not be too rich
in heterogeneous matter, or the plants
will run to foliage and stems at the
expense of the crop. Beans will not
withstand frost, and the first paintings
In the spring should not be made until
about two weeks after the. average
date Of the last killing frost. The soil
should be in good condition and the
rows should be laid out perfectly
straight so as to make cultivation easy.
One pint of the seed of most varieties
Of snap beans is sufficient for 100
foot row. When the cultivation is to
be done by horse, the rows should be
from 80 to SO inches apart. When
hand cultivation is to be employed, the
rows should be from 10 to. "a inches
apart. It requires from 40 to 60 days
for snap beans to be ready for use
If the weather conditions are favor
able.
Successive paintings Of string beans
should be made at intervals Of ten
days to two weeks throughout the
growing season. BY following this
scheme constant supply Of tender
beans will be assured.-U. s. Depart
ment Of Agriculture.

Ny Onions. III

Onions can be produced on almost
any good garden soil, and constitute
one of the standard crops found in al.
most every garden. The usual plan In
the home garden Is to plant sets in
rows far enough apart to suit the meth
cd Of cultivation to be followed. The
sets need not be more than 2 or 8
inches apart in the rows.
Onion sets may be planted as soon
as the ground can be worked and be-
fore frosts are over. Some kinds may
be planted in the autumn. The potato
or multiplier onion can be planted from
sets in the autumn and will produce
excellent early green onions.
Onions may be grown from seed ell
Their by starting the seed in the hotbed
and transplanting to the open ground
or by drilling in rows directly In the
garden. With good soil and proper
care it is possible to produce good
sized bulbs from seed in single sea-
son.
Onions require frequent shallow cul-
tivation, and 1t may be necessary to re-
sort to hand work in order to keep
the crop free from weeds.
If it is desired to use the onions as
green or bunch onions they may be
pulled at any time after they are large
enough, otherwise they should be al
lowed to grow until they reach matur-
1ty. If the onions start to throw up
seed stalks these should be removed,
or the seed will be formed at the ex-
pense Of the bulbs.-U. s. Department

past, or about the same time as tomato
plants are set in the open. The plants
should be thinned until they stand

WY Garden Peas. D

Early peas require a rather rich
sandy loan with good drainage IN or.
der that the first paintings may be
made early in the spring. Fertilizers
that are high in heterogeneous matter
should not be applied to the land i'm.
mediately before planting, as they will
have tendency to produce too great
growth of vines at the expense of
pods. Land that has been MANFRED
the previous year will be found salts
factory without additional fertilizer.
While the sandy loan is to be pre-
ferred for early varieties, a good crop
can be produced on almost any good
soil.
The first paintings should be of such
varieties as Alaska, or some of its
notifications, which make a small but
quick growth and may or may not be
provided with supports. These should
be planted about two weeks before the
date of the last killing frost, or in fact
may be planted as soon as the ground
is in condition. The tall-growing sorts
of the Telephone type are desirable
for still later use, on account of their
large production and excellent quality.
Peas should be drilled in rows, one
to two pints being sufficient for a 100
foot row. The individual peas should
be placed about l inch apart in the
rows. The distance between rows will
depend upon the kind of cultivation
to be employed, and upon the varieties
used. The dwarf varieties need not be
any farther apart than necessary to
insure cultivation, while the tall-grow-
ing sorts should not be planted closer
than 3 to 81 feet apart.
A good scheme is to plant two par
allel rows of peas about 6 or; 8 inches
apart, then leave space of IS inches
or two feet and plant two more rows
of seed close together. Fewer strings
or less brush will be required to sup
port them than when planted in single
rows at the greater distance.
If peas are to be grown for immedi-
ate use only, q quart will be enough to
plant at one time. However, if it is
desired to grow peas for canning, large
paintings should be made. If space
is available, it is an, excellent plan to
make considerable planting at one time |
Of some one variety, so that the peas |
for canning will be available in con-
siderable quantities. This enables the |
to get the canning out Of |
the way in comparatively short time.
Successive paintings of the various va
rieties of peas should be made at in
tervals of about two weeks, until the
weather begins to grow warm, when
he paintings should be discontinued.
It Is possible in some sections to
grow fall crop Of peas. When this
8 done, early varieties should be used.

Amongst the revelations Of German
brutality and foulness which we are
hearing from returned prisoners one
stands out for it's Characteristic mean
ness and cunning. Many men were re-
ported as being confined in certain
camps who had never been near those
camps. if, indeed, they existed at ALL
and the parcels sent to them from
home to those addresses were stolen
by the authorities. One of these re-
turned prisoners, says correspondent.
has never been in Germany at all, al
though his address was Friedrichsfeld.
He was employed behind the German
lines in France until November II,
when he was turned loose with the
rest. German mentality cannot be I'M
derstOod by anyone but German. 1t
has no redeeming sense Of decency.-.

POULTRY
*FACI1S
GREEN FEEDS FOR POULTRY
There Is Much in Proper Curing and
HandIing-Beets and Mangel-
Wurzels Also Good.

IF you have fed clover or alfalfa to
poultry in it's green state or dry you
know it's value. If you have not used
It as a hen feed do so this winter,
even If you have to buy some, and
In future seasons you will lay in a
good supply. There is much in cur
Ing and handling this food to have 1t
right for hens. If it has been done
properly, cut into one-quarter-inch
lengths, and place 1t in a tub or bar
rel, then turn on steam or hot water,
which at once brings back the aroma
Of the harvest field. Next spread out
in the mixing box and sift on some
cOrnmeal, middlings and animal meal,
salt little and you have as good a
mess for laying hens as can be pre-
pared. In some respects alfalfa is
better than clover 1t is very rich in
protein, yields more in a year than
clover, and hens like 1t better.
For poultry it should never be al
lowed to become woody. A good field
Of alfalfa will produce more hen feed
tnan the same amount or space put
into any other crop.
Next in order for a dependable win
ter food come beets and mangel-wur-
Zels. There are different sorts, red.
yellow and white. All make good
winter hen feed. They are composed
largely of water, but it makes an ex-
cellent winter food, Naing easily grown
and kept and is very handy to feed.
BY feeding plenty of green food to the
hens in winter there is profit de-
rived. In two ways. The hens will be
more healthy, therefore lay better, and
by working it into the daily ration the
cost of feeding the flock is lessened
considerably.
