D. Woods, director of the Maine Experiment Station, in his talk to Wisconsin farmers at the recent convention at Oconomowoc, laid special stress on the great value of the potato crop. It is valuable because it does not exhaust land as do some other crops. Its starch Is made out of carbon, and this has been gathered from the air by means of the leaves. So it does not come out of the ground at all. The man that grows potatoes Is not taking from the soil a great mass of fertilizer that is to be sent away never to return. The tops are not sold off, but are permitted to lie on the ground or in the ground and decay. There Is no best way of growing potatoes. Place and circumstances must dictate methods. To grow potatoes successfully a man must be sufficiently intelligent to understand the soil and other conditions on his own farm. No man can afford to follow the methods of publlo speakers or his neighbors without first finding out whether they apply to his case. The selection of seed is important, because we do not plant the seeds but cuttings from the tubers. The tubers from which the cuttings are to be made should be ripe and should have been kept over winter In a temperature of from 33 to 40 degrees. It is, however, a mistake to select seed potatoes from those that have lain in the ground too long. The potatoes for this purpose should be dug while the tops are still green, so much so Indeed that the potatoes on being cooked will be what we call watery. In the planting, potatoes should be put in deeper in clay than In sandy land. This may appear unreasonable, but if the potatoes are planted near the surface In clay land, they will, as they grow, cause the clay to split open and this will let In the Bun. The result Is a sunburned potato, which Is of no value for eating. Fertillier Farts. Press Bulletin 40, New Hampshire Station: A curious sign of the prejudice of fertilizer buyers for a name was shown by the brands put on our market by one large company. This corporation had in our state fourteen different brands guaranteed to contain 2 per cent of nitrogen, 8 per cent of available phosphoric acid and 3 per cent of potash, while ten more of its brands differed from the above lot by each having a guarantee of 1.5 per cent of potash instead of 3 per cent In other words, this company had twenty-fou- r brands to represent only two different formulas, because fertilizers are bought by name Instead of by composition. The last census states the value of fertilizers bought in New Hampshire In 1900 to have been $368,000, making an average for each farm of $12.55. The most common fertilizers sold in ,the state were those costing $30 per ton. For the average sum per farm there was purchased of such a mixed fertilizer 837 pounds, containing 17 pounds of nitrogen, 67 of available phosphoric acid and 25 of potash, or a total of 106 pounds of plant food. By buying the highest grade of chemicals, including nltrain of soda, dried blood, acid phosphate and sulphate of potash, and paying cash, $12.55 could have purchased 800 pounds of chemicals containing 20 pounds of nitrogen, 68 of available phosphoric acid and 80 potash, a total of 158 pounds of plant times as food, or one and one-ha- lf much as by following the usual method of buying. Long credit and commissions to agents make fertilizers costly. In the past year the trade in ashes has taken up an inferior' grade, which 4s sometimes sold under the name of lime-kil- n or lime ashes. They contain jmuch less soluble potash than good hard wood ashes and their value is problematical on that account because the availability of Insoluble potash is unknown. Outlook for Fruits . (Farmers Review Special Report.) J. W. Stanton, Southern Illinois: Tree fruits promise good crops on frees that were not full last year. Prof. F. A. Waugh, Vermont: The general outlook for fruits was never better at this time of year than it is now. O. M. Lord, Minnesota: Plenty of fruit buds, and they are entirely unhurt Season opens ten days earlier fhan usual. E. A. Riehl, Southern Illinois: So far as can be seen now all fruits except peaches are in good condition and may give a good crop, if favorable conditions are maintained throughout the season. Geo. N. Parker, Eastern Illinois: The present outlook for apples is good. .The peach crop will be very short We will have over 30,000 barrels of apples for sale in this county (Crawford) next fall, if the present outlook is verified. Prof. J. Troop, Indiana: The outlook for peaches is bad. The buds are pretty generally killed. Other kinds ceem to be in fairly good condition. I do not look for a heavy apple crop, owing to the dry weather last summer and fall. Prof. John Craig, New York state: jThe prospects at present are excellent for a full crop of apples; peaches iand plums. This applies especially to Ithe western part of the state, but I ithink is true of most of the fruitgrowing sections. Prof. L. R.

Benjamin Buckman, Central Illinois: The prospects for peaches are gone. Very few strawberry plants are left Other small fruits promise an peerage crop. The same may be said lof apples, pears, cherries and grapes. Calculations on crops of apples, pears, jcherrles and grapes at this time of ; ARE NOT LATINS IAYS FRENCHMEN year usually do not amount to much, for the critical time comes later, when In Origin They Are spring frosts, rains in blooming time, insects and fungi get In their work. Prof. Chas. A. Keffer, Tennessee: The freeze of two weeks ago Injured the peach buds very much in this vicinity. Fully 90 per cent wait killed. Pears also were injured, but not seriously. Japanese plums suffered less than peaches, but seriously. I have no returns from other parts of the state, but as the freeze was general, I think the Injury widespread. Prof. H. J. Waters, Missouri: Prospect for apples good, except on trees that bore a heavy crop last year. Plums, cherries, pears, splendid prospect. Peach fruit buds were killed in nearly all parts of the state by severe cold In December. In a few specially favored localities in the Ozarks, it Is estimated that there are sufficient live budB to produce almost a full crop. In one or two of these localities some of the largest commercial peach orchards of the state are located. Dlapnral of Inferior Fruit. From Farmers Review: In reply to yours will say that It would be Impossible to give you any idea In the way of figures as to what extent the different varieties of fruit In Illinois, Indiana and Michigan are disposed of in the dried form, but as a guess, we should say that perhaps 25 per cent of the green fruits are either dried or canned. The largest quantity of dried fruit In the way of evaporated raspberries and apples comes from New York state. There are also a good many berries and apples evaporated in Michigan, and a good many apples evaporated and sun dried In Indiana and Illinois. The fruit that Is dried and canned is not first quality, It being usually marketed green, and the second and third quality are canned and dried. This refers to apples more than berries, as berries, that is strawberries, raspberries and blackberries must be of good quality to go into the can, although of course, they are not selected as closely as they would be It they were put on the market in the green state, and take for instance, apples. If they could not dry and can this quality of apples referred to above, they would probably have to throw them away, as they could not be put on the market green.

They eat flesh, herbage, ce- reals, roots and fruits. Their food in their natural state has a good deal of bulk. The bad results sometimes obtained by feeders Is due to forgetfulness of this fact. The salvation of pigs kept in confinement has been the general Impression that swill was preeminently a hog feed. - This has given bulk to an otherwise condensed ration. The pig has to a large extent been the victim of a wrong system of feeding. He has been too often confined in a small space and fed a condensed ration. As a result disease and death have cut short the profits of the pig raisers. The feeding of a ration of cereals is not in keeping with the natural requirements of the porcine money-make- r. It is not a difficult matter for the swine feeder to Increase greatly the bulk of food fed. Silage, roots and vegetables can be fed in the winter. If the farmer have not these, he can feed clover hay. This should be cut In a and soaked by pouring boiling water over IL To this may be added the meal or other concentrate that is to be fed. feed-cutt- er Breeding Pen. At this time of year many breeding pens are being made up. What are the fowls used In them? We believe they should be birds that have proven themselves excellent by more than one Mature females year of existence. and mature males selected as the result of known qualities should and will produce eggs that contain strong These will give vigorous embryos. chicks, which will develop rapidly under skillful feeding. The birds kept for breeders, even though there be but five of them In a yard, should have a considerable area devoted to them, ihe writer was pleased to notice while at the North Carolina Agricultural College last year, that the yards devoted to the breeders were so large that the birds had an abundance of green grass, with no prospect of rendering the ground bare. In addition to the grass, plats of oats were sown. It certainly is not advisable to confine a a cock and four hens breeding pen in a little yard not more than five by five feet, as we have seen them. Exercise induces fertility in eggs. Much Like American., Declare. M. L Ran, M. Hughes Le Roux, the celebrated Capt. Ahern of the forestry bureau says he saw large tracts of virgin forests in the Philippines with 10,000 to 20,000 cubic feet of magnificent lumber per acre, where the trees were more than 150 feet high, with trunks clear of branches for 80 feet Fifty valuable ha'd woods are now offered to the world. 6hmr Raising in New Mexico. New Mexico is a great sheep country. There is but one other state or territory which excels in sheep raising. That is Ftah, where there are 8,000,000 or 9,000,000 sheep. New Mexico ha3 about 6,000,000. The industry was never so prosperous as at HOME AND FASHIONS. TOPICS OF INTEREST TO THE LADIES OF THE HOUSEHOLD.
