DIGGING POTATOES.
The last week in October and first
week in November cover the period
during which the greater part of the crop
of sweet potatoes is dug in the South.
The rule with some farmers is to dig as
nearly as possible j ust before the first
killing (frost, and we think this the safer
plan, as we can never know how severe
the cold may be, and it is well known
that if the ground be frozen deep enough
to afiect even the upper end oi the tu
bers, they will most certainly rot in the
hill, and thus, the labor of the year be
lost. But the most important consider
ation is the ripeness of the tubers. By
this we mean to indicate that period of
cessation of growth which usually fol*
lows a dry spell of some length. Pota
toes are naturally perennial—or at least
bi-ennial—in their nature, and do not
ripen as corn, wheat or fruits. They are
not in a strict sense the seeds of the
plant, but only fleshy underground
stems, which revive their growth after
every rain and cease in dry _ weather.
Daring such dormant condition the
juices undergo some chemical change
which we call ripening, by which they
are rendered lees susceptible to decay.
The digging therefore should be deferred
as long as there is a chance for addition
al growth, without too great danger
from freezing.
It is claimed with good evidence that
this ripeness of a potato may be judged
by breaking or cutting a tuber. If the
cut surface cries white —without dis
coloration—the potato is cosidered ripe ;
but if the surface becomes dark or spot
ted it is immature and not ready for
harvesting.
The safe plan is to begin the work of
digging about the last week in October
if the ground be dry, and continue until
all are safely housed. We have on more
than one occasion given our views of the
best methods to insure good keeping.
Some advocate the building of houses—
rude structures of logs and earth, well
covered—but we have found potatoes to
keep very well in the ola-fashioned
banks or hills containing thirty to fifty
bushels each. The most important
points are to protect them from moisture
and cold. To this end the location of
the banks should be high and dry or
easily drained, and the hills, being made
sharply conical, should be covered, first
with a layer of pine straw or dry corn
stalks several inches in thickness. Next
a covering of boards, breaking joints well,
and lastly a layer of earth a toot in thick
ness. The earth may be put on very
thinly at first, but should be increased as
cold weather approaches, by digging a
trench around each hill and throwing
the excavated soil upon it.
There is sill another consideration
worthy of notice. It has often been
remarked that the potates made from the
later planted patches keep better than
those from the early summer crop. This
accordance with our observations,
and .is also notably true in the case
of the Irish potato. This fact naturally
suggests the importance of using the
older potatoes first and saving the later
growth for winter and spring keeping.
Seed potatoes should be selected from
the later plantings and put in a hill to
themselves. They are usually smaller
and therefore less desirable for the table
but really better for bedding.
SEEDING WHEAT AND OATS.
The fall has been exceptionally favor
able for all the operations of the farm,
and where advantage has been taken of
the seasons as they occurred there can
be little excuse for a failure to put in a
large area in small grain.
We do not advise sowing largely of
wheat—growing it for market -in those
sections wnich are not reasonably well
adapted to its successful culture. In
such localities it is best to prepare well
and sow a small area, only sufficient to
produce a home supply under favorable
circumstances. A high, dry field should
be selected (cotton land is the best) and
the soil should be put in the best possi
ble condition by thorough plowing and
harrowing. This should be done at
once or as soon as the cotton has been
gathered, and then wait until the proper
period for sowing, which isabout time the
first killing frost occurs. Cotton seed is
the stand-by as a manure for wheat; but
may be improved by composting with
acid phosphate. In the absence of cotton
seed, a good ammoniated diss jived bone
will answer as a fertilizer. Whatever
manure is used it should be applied and
harrowed in with the seed wheat if the
latter is sown broadcast. There is an in
creasing disposition to sow wheat in
drills, and the method is certainly in
the direction of high culture and more
profitable results. ,
We trust. that the farmers generally
have availed themselves of the opportu
nity offered, to sow oats. If delayed,
however, we believe it is still better to
sow during the first half of November—
as high up as Atlanta —than to wait until
spring. We have very little faith in
spring oats except on rich or highly
manured land and with rust-proof seed.
Notwithstanding the great increase of
area sown to oats in the last ten years,
that area is still comparatively small.
We ought to devote more land to oats
than to corn, and we expect to see the
day when this point will be reached.
THE APPROACH OF WINIER.
The falling leaves and the cool morn
ings as well as the almanac admonish
us of the approach of winter time,and it
behooves the farmer to make needful
preparations for the comfort of his live
stock of all kinds as well as his family.
We denizens of the city find it very
convenient to have our stores of wood
and coal in readiness for the time of
need, but an experience of many years
in the country taught us that it is just as
necessary for comfort and convenience
to attend to these things on the farm as
in the city. Self interest as well as com
mon humanity dictates a proper regard
for the comfort of the animals upon
whose flesh and ability to labor we de
pend so largely for comfort and subsis
tence. A horse or other animal well
protected by a good dry stable from the
cold winds and rains will require a third
ess food to keep him in good flesh than
if exposed to inclement weather without
shelter of any kind. If it pays to shel
ter at all, it is poor economy to stop
short of securing absolute comfort in
the constructionjof a stable.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1881.
In the case of animals inteded for fat
tening, or cows for milking, it is even
more important,on the score of profitable
feeding, that thev be fully protected and
made comfortable. The secretion of fat
or milk cannot go on profitably while
the animal is shivering with cold. It
requires too large a portion of the food
eaten to keep up the vital heat of the
body—food which should go to build up
the tissues and supply the fatty secre
tions.
The farmer should see to itj then, that
every animal is provided with cean, dry
and warm quarters. The past winter’s
experience ought to be vividly recalled,
and perhaps some resolutions then
formed by the farmer who witnessed the
daily discomfort and even suffering of
his dumb animals, and the rapidly de
pleting stores of forage. The man who
makes no provision for sheltering stock
might as reasonably use his corn and fod
derfor fuel,for that is what such improvi
dence am aunts to in its last analysis.
THE EXPOSITION.
We made our second visit to the
grounds of the Exposition on the 20. h
inst.,—just fifteen days after the opening
day—and were gratified to note the prog
ress ma le during the interval, in getting
ready. The exhibition is now fully open,
though many exhibits are still not fully
displayed, and some not even unpacke-l
from the shipping boxes. A leisurely
stroll through the several.buildingj.with
scarcely a halt to examine more closely
the varied attractions and objects of in
teiest, would consume an entire day,and
leave the visitor altogether unsatisfied
and with a desire to go over it all again
and more deliberately. A single day—
though it would be filled full of pleasure,
instruction and wonder—is not sufficient
to afford more than a passing view of the
show as it is. It is next to useless to
attempt anything like a detailed des
cription in a newspaper article. A
volume would be required—and proba
bly will be prepared—to give a satis
factory account.
We were somewhat mortified to find
that Georgia was greatly behind the
young States of Texas, Kansas, Arkan
sas and Colorado, in the variety and
artistic arrangement of her samples of
minerals and agricultural products. Our
failure to participate in the great Cen
tennial in 1876, was a mistake on the
part of our Legislature; and the refusal
of the last session to make any appro
priation for the proper illustration of our
products, has left Georgia without
money to pay expenses, and without the
valuable experience acquired by other
States at the Centennial. Judge Hen
derson, our Commissioder.of Agricult
ure, has thrown himself into the breach,
and by stirring appeals to farmers and
the securement of free transportation on
the railroads of the State, hopes yet to
redeam our State and make a display of
agricultural prolucts which will astonish
the beholder. And the samples so
gathered, will be of the current year’s
growth—as we have none saved from the
Centennial— a year of drouth and com
parative failure.
We were pleased with the Kansas ex
hibit, yet surprised to find, in the samples
of sheaf wheat,barley and rye, displayed,
that the heads or spikes were much
shorter than we have been accustomed
to see in similar sample displaps in the
Department of Agriculture at Atlanta.
The visitor to the Exposition, after
this date, may safely suit his own con
venience as to the particular date of his
visit, with assurance that he will be
amply repaid for his time and money.
It is a grand occasion, and a grand op
portunity for Georgia and for the South.
FATTENING HOGS.
It is poor economy to postpone the
regular heavy feeding of hogs intended
for the slaughter until cold weather.
Tuey fatten more easily and rapidly
during the mild weather of October than
in the usual cold of December and Jan
uary. The first cold spell after the mid
dle of November should find them fat
enough to kill, and they should all be in
the smokehouse before Christmas. It is
likewise poor economy to stint food and
stop short of a good fat condition because
corn is scarce —while pork is also corres
pondingly high. It is perhaps better
policy also to kill all that can be brought
into fair condition,rather than carry them
through the winter and spring and risk
possi Je disaster or disease for another
twelve month. In many sections of the
South there is a great scarcity of provis
ions, and this scarcity will be more
keenly felt next spring than now. It is
therfore wise to reduce the number of
animals which require to be fed and thus,
relatively, increase the food supply.
