Sweet Potatoes lntercultural Ma
nuring.
I have about one acre in sweet potatoes.
I cut off oats on this land early in June,
and owing to the dry weather they did
not yield over six or seven bushels per
acre, when I expected at least twenty.
I bedded up the land a week after cutting
the oats, and dry as it was, I set out po
tato plants on the freshly bedded land.
I watered each plant well, taking about a
week (in the afternoons) to set out the
acre. By treading the plants firmly in
and watering, only a small per cent, of tne
plants failed to live. On account of the
dry weather and as the result of waiting
for a rain that did not come. I allowed my
plants to stay in the beds until many of
them had vines three feet long. Others
were stunted and sickly looking. With
rain in a reasonable time now I hope to
make a good crop, but probably nothing
like I would have made if f could have set
out the plants at the proper time.
I wish to ask if it would pay me to bar
off the potatoes, running as close as pos
sible and apply some good commercial
fertilizer in these furrows? I do not
think the land is rich enough to make
seventy-five bushels of potatoes per acre,
and I would like to make two or three
times this much of it were possible to do
it. As the potatoes have managed to live
thus far. I hope they will make up for
lost time when it does rain. R. P. C.
If your land is not sufficiently rich to
make a large crop of potatoes, it is quite
possible to supply some fertilizer now
that will greatly increase the crop. It is
more than likely, however, that when the
ram comes you will find that your pota
toes will grow off very' rapidly, especially'
if you have stirred the soil shallow
once or twice during the drought. Sweet
potatoes require but a small quantity of
nitrogen or ammonia, but they do not
need the mineral elements and if these
are available, your potatoes will need
only good, shallow cultivation to produce
a crop of 200 or 300 bushels. No doubt
you have noticed how crops grow off after
a drought when they have been well cul
tivated during the drought.
Any good, complete fertilizer, 200 or 800
pounds, applied iu the siding furrows,
would most likely increase the yield to
an extent considerably above the cost of
the manure. If our farmers in the inter
ior had access to such materials, we
should almost always advise the use of
fine bone dust (raw bone) and cotton hull
ashes, two parts of the first to one part of
the latter, cOO or 400 pounds of the mix
ture to the acre, but we are well aware
very few farmers are able to procure
these materials from their local dealers.
'1 he great mass of our farmers buy their
fertilizers on a credit, and as a rule they
take whatever fertilizer the dealer keeps
in stock, which usually is the kind he can
make the most money out of without very
much regard to its quality or the good it
will do the farmer.
It is rarely the case that stable manure
is a good thing to use on sweet potatoes,
and we should never use it onlv as a last
resort and then only after it had been made
into compost with mineral elements.
Pure boue dust and ashes constitute the
very best fertilizer for sweet potatoes, if
properly applied early in the season.
When applied after the crop has been
started, some good ammoniated super
phosphate with 7 or 8 per cent, of potash is
about as good as anything. A superphos
phate with 2or 3 per cent, of ammonia is
better than one with more ammonia.
Rank nitrogenous manure is not good for
potatoes. Asa rule, they do best after
some previous crop that has been well
manured. The largest crops of sweet po
tatoes are usually grown by truckers,
who plant them on land that has borne a
crop of early vegetables—peas or onions,
or other crop that is taken out of the
"ay by June 1.
We have made fine crops of sweet pota
toes after a crop of Irish potatoes that
had been highly manured early in the
season.

Scabby Irish Potatoes—How to Treat

‘ be Michigan experiment station made

viously made by others.

nearly free from scabby tubers whereas

extent of 35 to 70 per cent. These exper

Sheep for the South.
One is met at the threshold of the sub
ject i have chosen with a sneer, says Dr.
Galen \V ilson, in Farm and Fireside, per
haps. and the remark. “Don’t you know
tariff tinkering has ruined the sheep in
“nd everybody is getting out of it?
v\ 00l is only 15 cents a pound.” Well,’
what of it? What is the price of hair’
" 00l seiis for as much as that, doesn't it?
People grow cattle purposely for beef to
eat and nothing is ever said about their
hair.
Now, meat is considered bv most per
sons as a necessary part of the'ir diet. It
is generally considered that meat of the
sheep is more nutritious than that of
cattle; it is more tender, more whole
some. does not waste away so much in
cooking, is generally liked better and
usually brings more in market; and to
cap the climax, it has been proven by
careful, scientific experiment that, dis
carding wool from the account entirely, a
pound of mutton can be grown cheaper
than a pound of beef. Now, as long as
people eat meat the sheep industry is not
ruined: and until cattle grow wool in
stead of hair, sheep certainly should take
precedence.
The farmer who keeps sheep has a cer
tain convenience that I do not remember
of having seen noted. He does not wish
to confine his family and help to a salt
meat diet in the busy season of summer.
It would not pay to slaughter a beef;
then, to secure a change of salt to fresh
he must either purchase of traveling
butchers, who invariably sell the best
pieces in town and offer the farmer bone
and gristle, or he must hitch up a team
and drive to town himself. In either
case he has to pay the cash, which it is
not always convenient to do. How much
better it would be for him to keep a
flock of sheep and slaughter a fat lamb
when fresh meat became desirable. A
lamb can be utilzed fresh in an ordinary
family in warm weather, and a beef can
not.
Having, as I believe, dispelled the idea
that “sheep don’t pay”—if any reader
still entertained such belief—l will pro
seed in line with piy text. The southern
part of the United States is on the same
parallels of latitude in which sheep flour
ish best in the eastern hemisphere. This
is assurance that the climate here is right
for these animals. The government re
port states, I believe, that only about 50
per cent, of the south is occupied by
farms, or farmers; and everybody' knows
that as a rule only a small portion of each
is tilled. Open ranges, and some of them
vary extensive, exist in every direction,
and there is nothing to occupy them.
They may he called stockless with much
more of truth than a certain public man
is facetiously called “sockless.”
Most of the ranges are wooded mpre or
less, of course, but I have it from many
correspondents that where the under
growth is kept subdued grasses will cover
the surface. I know of a pine forest of
1,400 acres where years ago blue-grass
seed was sown on a portion of it. It has
spread all over and on adjoining lands
and now the territory is beautifully set in
blue and Bermuda grasses clear up to the
trunks of the trees, furnishing pasturage
the year around.
Lespedeza, or Japan clover, is another
grazing plant of great value there. A
southern professor of agriculture reported
that he had seen Lespedeza knee kigh in
a thicket of small timber, so dense he
could hardly get through.
From correspondents 1 learn that sheep
are almost entirely free from diseases.
They are troubled some from external
parasites, but dipping, as in the north,
would remedy that. All sheep should be
dipped twice a year. 1 have it from an
agricultural editor of Mobile, that the
“Lower South,” which embraces a belt
from the Mississippi river to the Atlantic
ocean, and one hundred and fifty miles
wide from the Gulf of Mexico
entirely free from burrs that adhere and
litter up wool.
There are but very few sheep in the
south, and these are mainly natives, and
they are doing well considering the al
most entire want of care. To gather
them once a year for shearing and attend
ing to the lambs is about the extent of
the attention they got. With this
equable sheep climate, lands at $2 to $lO
an acre and extensive open ranges, it is
an ideal sheep country. The subject is so
broad that only the main points can be
stated in this “trial trip” communica
tion.
Cowpea for Feeding-.
A prominent agriculturist in the south
says of the cowpea: “For the produc
tion of a nitrogenous food lin-the shape of
a foraee crop the cowpea vines are
almost without a rival. * * * On an
acre of ordinary land this crop will
probably produce more digestible food
than cither oats or corn. The manure
resulting from feeding this crop is of the
highest value, and should be carefully
preserved and returned to the land.”
At the Rhode Island Experiment sta
tion a crop of 17 % tons of green cowpea
forage was harvested. This contained
1571.' pounds of nitrogen, which at 15
cents per pound would make the crop
worth $23.83 per acre for green manuring.
At $3 per ton the \7 l 4 tons, would be
worth $52.50 for feeding, and there will
be less than one-third of the fertilizing
ingredients lost in feeding the crop.
vVhat has been said of the above crops
applies with equal force to other crops
commonly used for green manuring. The
matter resolves itself into this, that on
medium and better classes of soils gron
manuring is not as profitable as feeding
the crop. Wheh the crop is fed the stub
ble and roots are left to the soil, and
they together with the manure enrich the
soil in fertilizing materials and in humus
to very nearly the same extent as plow
ing the whole crop under. With the ex
ception of perhaps one-fourth of the fer
tiling materials, the soil shares all the
advantages to be abtained from green
manuring when the crop is fed and the
manure preserved. More labor is involved
in feeding, but in return more milk aud
more beef are made, or the purchase 0/
expensive grain is largely avoided.
In a rational system of farming not a
single pound of protein which can bo used
as tood for stock should be plowed into
the soil. Of course there are condi
tions under which green manuring is to
be recommended in preference to feeding
the crop, and unfortunately such condi
tions prevail at present over a considera
ble part of this country. Unless the
manure is carefully collected and pre
served. the advantages from feeding
disappear to a large extent. In some sec
tions of the country, even where manures
are at present necessary, little or no care
is taken of the barnyard manure. A large
proportion of the fertilizing and humus

forming ingredients is lost.either through
leaching, surface-washing, or fer
mentation and decay. The farmer
w'ho permits this waste, whether
through ignorance or carelessness, is sure
to feel the loss either in diminished crops
or in increased bills for fertilizers. The
barnyard manure should be as scrupu
lously eared for as any other farm pro
duct. It has been shown in experiments in
the east in growing stock for beef, mut
top and pork, that a very large proportion
of the profit was in the manure. If the
value of the manure was left out of the
account there was little or no profit from
the operation. If the manure was valued
at current rates for fertilizing materials a
fair profit was apparent.—Farmers’ Bul
letin No. 16, N. D. A.
The Peanut Crop.
The perfection of the Virginia peanut
is well known, says the Texas Farmer. It
is noted for its large size and its bright,
clear color. Avery important element
for the production of this superior article
is an abundance of shell lime, and this,
fortunately, is easily' obtained from the
seacoast. Many villages in the south side
tidewater counties have their kilns for
supplying this necessary article, and the
price has been greatly' reduced. An av
erage application of shell limo is about
1,000 pounds per acre, varying in
quantity as the crops have been
rotated. It is usually ap
plied in connection with seasoned
muck in the row and well worked in. but
if there has been delay in securing the
lime it is applied as a top dressing along
the row. The various brands of commer
cial fertilizers are also employed with
more or less success, generally at the rate
of about 200 pounds to the acre.
On light uplands iplanting begins about
May 1, but good nuts have been made
from replanting as late as June 18.
O After the plant gets up it requires a
great deal of moisture, and it is well to
sprinkle land plaster along the row to as
sist it in collecting the needed element.
Replanting should be attended to at once,
ana at the same time trim and 'scrape
the row with a hoe and cut out the grass,
if any.
The after cultivation consists in an al
ternate plowing toward and from the
plants, with hoe work accompanying this
each time. The ends of the vines should
be broken up at each cultivation to pre
vent the limbs throwing out needles, and
thus wasting the vitality of the vines in
attempts to form nuts at the ends of these
tentacles. The vigor of the plant should
be expended iu making and developing
well-grown nuts around the stem.
About Aug. 1 to 10 the plants are “laid
by.”
Plants from which seed is to be saved
ought to be dug before the frost withers
them much. Then let them be thoroughly
dried before they are shocked to prevent
the nuts from being damaged by heating
or molding, says a Virginia planter, who
communicated the foregoing to the Flor
ida Farmer: The main crop is dug about
Oct. Ito 10. The plants are rooted out
with a plow and then turned over so as to
be bottom side up, in order that the sun
may dry them out thoroughly. .They
ought to be dried at least one day. The
shock is made around a stick set in the
ground. Care should be taken to lock
each vine around the stick, making the
shock a little higher than a man and
about the size of a barrel. They should
remain in shock about two weeks, and
when taken down the nuts should be
immediately picked off.
Pleasures of Amateur Gardening.
One of the first inducements I had to
shake off the dust of the city after busi
ness hours and endure fifteen or twenty
consecutive miles of railway dust for the
sake of a home in the country, was the
privilege of living in a house which had
windows in all four sides, says John Hao
berton in Milwaukee Sentinel. Some of
my acquaintances have such houses in
the city, for they also have big bank ac
counts and bundles of first mortgage
bonds; but I got my house at a smaller
rental than I was paying for a stuffy flat
in town. The second inducement was in
timately connected with the aforesaid
wealth of windows—l could fill the house
all winter long with color and perfume at
a cost so ridiculously small that it was
not worth considering.
I know that amateur gardening is popu
larly supposed to be a diversion for old
maids and invalids, yet it was not only a
month or two ago that Bismarck told an
interviower of the delight he had always
found in fussing over flowering plants,
and expressed his obligations to the his
torians Bancroft and Motley for points in
horticulture. The best American rose,
the glorious “American Beauty,” was
originated by Bancroft, and for one of our
finest lilies, the Parkmanni, we arc in
debted to the historian Parkman. Where
such famous men have persistently trod,
no foot need fear to venture.
My own window gardening began a
quarter of a century ago; it was success
ful and cheap fpom the first, and became
cheaper as time rolled on, until now I can
fill all my wiifdows with bloom from
Christmas to Easter for the money I used
to pay for a brief and modest show. I
was spared the amateur's customary
blunder of experimenting with coy and
costly bloomers by a picturesque Dutch
man. who told me that for winter use in
doors the so-called Holland bulbs —the
hyacinth, narcissus and tulip—gave a
hundred times as much color and perfume
for a given amount of money as anything
that the most expensive florists could
supply, and that the bulbs were so
simple of botanical structure that they
were obliged to bloom at their appointed
time, whether they were in dark rooms
or light, warm rooms or cold, unless first
roasted to death or killed by thirst. I
have cut flowers from bulbs in dimly
lighted cellars, and from windows into
which the sun never shone.
I found m.v adviser's statement literally
true. The only additional caution he gave
me was that the soli in which the bulbs
were planted should be very rich and
light, but by mixing street sweepings and
sand in equal parts. I achieved success
from the first, loiter. I had better luck
by using leaf mold, sand and well-rotted
manure in equal quantities.
Destroying Cut Worms.
One of the chief evils which the culti
vator of melons and cucumbers suffers is
from the ravages of cut worms. They
work chiefly at night or in very early
morning, coming to the surface and
traveling above ground until they reach
their favorite plant, which the.v proceed
to cut down at the surface of the ground.
The best way to destroy these pests is to
make small hollows around the plants it
is desired to protect, and fill them with
wheat bran, into which a due proportion
of Paris green has been mixed. Tne cut
worm is very food of wheat bran, and
will continue to eat until the poison does
its work. This remedy cannot be used
where the fowls have full range, for it
will poison them as well as the worms.
The cut worm prefers wheat bran to any
vegetable. It may pay to place wheat
bran without the poison near the plants,
for the purpose of diverting the attention
of the cut worm*, and feeding them on
something less expensive than valuable
plants. Bat it is bes: to poison the pests
wherever it is safe to Jo so.
Money From Kerbs.
The common sweet herbs, whose seeds
are advertised in all the gardener's cata
logues, are not so generally grown as
they ought to be. Most farmers grow a
few, and from bods a few feet
square they will cut what would
cost them several dollars to purchase
It is strange that more of them do not
take the hint and grow a surplus for mar
ket. All are easily grown, the best way
being to start them early in hot beds and
transplant when they get to be three or
four inches high. This transplanting is
important, for it helps to make the plants
stocky. By having plants started early,
and of some size when transplanted, the
labor of keeping the bed free from weeds
is greatly lessened. The herb crop is
never a glut on the market, for if the
herbs will not sell while green ther# is
always in winter a good demand for them
in their dried state. The grower can sell
for half the price that the retailer
charges, and yet make better profit
than from most other garden vegetables.
Scraps From Here and There.
“A veteran peach grower says that
most peach growers make the mistake of
growing too many varieties for market.
There are a few leading standard varie
ties that produce and sell better than any
others through a series of years, and
when these are secured it is a waste of
time, money and land to bother with less
profitable ones.”
* * *
WHEAT TOR EATING HENS.
“Pure,clean wheat will make hens lay;
it will also make them fat if you feed too
much of it. A few handfuls in the inter
val between the fixed limes for feeding is
good; three times a week is often enough
—variety is essential to a healthy flock,
and grain alone must never be the con
stant feed. We never would feed screen
ings; thinlc it pays best to feed clean,
sound old wheat. Experience is our
basis for saying this.”
* * *
“There is one material foronriching the
soil, which is especially provided by
nature, and that is homemade manure.
The sensible farmer follows nature's
recommendation, and saves and applies it
to the utmost possible extent. The fool
ish farmer overlooks it, and goes to town
and spends his hard-earned wealth for
commercial fertilizers.”
* * #
PLANT SOME PEACH TREES.
We believe that peaches can be grown
in all localities where they used to flourish
when the country was new. It is found
that they are not injured during severe
winters when their wood and buds are
well ripened, and this depends more on
having plenty of potash iu the soil than
on anything else. Peaches need a great
amount of potash. Even peach wood is
rich in this mineral, and the fruit and
seeds are still more so. Plant peach trpes
and give them as much potash as they
had when the forest had been newly
cleared off, and there will be a return of
the old-time “luck” in growing this fruit.
FEEDING YOUNG FIGS.
“There is no harm in giving young pigs
plenty to eat, provided it is the right
kind of food for growth, with compara
tively little of fat-forming material in its
composition. The pig always begins
right. The sow’s milk is excellent for
growth, and for the first day or two,
while weak, the pig takes its food in
small quantities and often. It is about
the time the pig is one or two weeks old
that its dam’s milk becomes insufficient.
The age depends on the size of the
litter and the milk-producing capac
ity of the sow. If stunted at the time the
sow’s milk becomes too little for them
the pigs never after recover all that is
then lost.”
* # *
“The Sharpless is not our best straw
berry by a gread deal, but it is an ex
cellent variety to set among those which
do not pollenize themselves, as it remains
a long time in bloom and is well supplied
with pollen.
The Worden and the Brighton grape do
better when planted near the Concords or
some other varieties than when planted
alone. The reason is that alone they
are deficient in pollenization, While
there are not as many grapes
that need other varieties to
furnish pollen for their blossoms as
there are strawberries, yet there are
many that would give a better yield
when among others than in plots alone,
and some experienced grower should give
us a list of such varieties and of those
that should be planted with them. The
same thing is true of pears, and perhaps
of other fruits. One who had the op
portunity to carefully examine a number
of kinds could easily make out a list,
while the list that we could make from
personal experience would be a short one.

“The most formidable competitor of
American cotton manufacturers is likely
to be found in Japan. With wages 18
cents per oday for men and 8 cents
a day for women, the profits of cotton
manufacturing in that country are enor
mous. The New York Commercial Bul
letin publishes some statistics showing
the rapid growth of Japanese cotton man
ufacturing. In 1880 there were only
four spinning mills. By 1888 eleven
more had been added, and in
1893 there were twenty-three. Last year
there were 380,000 spindles in Japan. By
the end of this year these will have in
creased to 750,000. The chief factories
are at Osaka. They are equipped with
electric lights, and run day and night,
making two shifts of eleven hours each.
Japanese imports of raw cotton have in
creased from 4,ooo,ooo'pounds eight years
ago to 104,900,000 pounds now. Japan be
gan exporting yarn to China two years
ago, and will undoubtedly supercede Eng
lish cotton manufactures in the markets
both of India and China.”
