The Farmers’ Index. All letters Intended for the Editor of thia De partment should be addressed, “Fabmbbs’ Index, Drawer 24. Atlanta. Ga" 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. High Authority.—Dr. W. E. Scott, Presi dent of the College of Physicians, Montreal, writes: “I have recommended Golden's Liebig’s Liquid Extract of Beef and Tonic Invigorator as the best preparation used for Debility, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Fever, Ague, and loss of appetite.” (Remember the name, Colden’s—take no other.)
