Baltimore and Soft Crab*.
The genuine soft crab, or Brachyura
bsiltimorieusls. Is the most delicate as
it Is the most delicious of all victuals.
It will no more bear transportation
•than a zephyr or a daffodil. The mo
ment It Is taken from Its native deep
If begins to lose bounce and flnvor. aud
once it lias left the Chesapeake littoral
it Is no longer eatable. That Is why
the soft crab Is a superb delicatessen
lu Baltimore and a bitter disappoint
ment everywhere else. So sensitive Is
it. Indeed, to climate and handling
that It Is Impossible to get a decent
soft crab anywhere west of the first
tollgnte on the Frederick road. In
Pittsburg, where embalmed soft crabs
are
aces. their flavor Is that of glucose.
In Chicago thr soft crab Is a mere
curiosity, to ue gaped at, but not
eaten. Baltimore alone Ims tlie genu
ine article, and it Is-fortunate for Bal
timore that It cannot be trans|>orted.
If It were possible to sldp soft crabs
tbe whole earth would bid for them,
running up their price to sl. $5 and
perhaps even to SIOO a dozen.—Bal

EXPERT POTATO CULTURE.
Specialist Gives Hints For Growing
Tubers on Irrigated Land.
One of the recent farmers' bulletins
issued by the department of agricul
ture Is written by E. H. Grubb of
Carbondnte, Colo., an expert grower,
Who says:
Tbe improved planters of today open
the furrow, drop the seed, cover it,
firm the dirt over the seed and mark
the next furrow. Such a planter la
drnwu by two horses. The writer
plants the potatoes about two or two
and one-half Inches below the surface
of the soil. Experiments with potatoes
planted In rows all the way from thir
ty-six to forty-two Inches apart indi
cate that the best distance depends
upon the seasonal conditions and type
of soil. It Is a problem for each grow
er to solve for himself. The distance
apart the potatoes should be planted
in the row also depends so much upon
the variety, the fertility of the soil,
the availability of water, etc., that
each fanner must determine this from
his own experience. I plant them
eight Inches apart in rows thirty-six
Inches apart. This gives the largest
tonnage of potatoes of desirable she.
Tbe writer's experience has been that
seed of large size (two to six ounces)
produce strong, vigorous shoots, as
they furnish an ample supply of plant
food to sustain a strong and vigorous
growth until the feeder roots can take
up the food from the soli.
During the last two years the best
results were obtained from planting
medium sized whole seed. While the
rost of the seed has been considerably
greater, the stand has been approxi
mately perfect. Experience has prov
ed that from one or two eyes only are
sprouts developed In uncut seed. The
seed end furnishes a strong vine. The
other eyes usually remain dormant.
One of the greatest advantages of
using whole seed Is the protection
from disease which may be present In
tbe soli and which may attack the
more tender exposed parts of the cut
seed.
As soon ns possible after the pota
toes are planted the cultivator should
be started. This implement has four
shovels, each four or five Inches wide
and about fifteen Inches long, two on
each side of (be row, and Is drawn by
* : •''•' A-,- Y .

two heavy horses. These shovels
should run as cloee ns possible to the
planted tubers without disturbing
them. The first cultivation adds to
the depth of the dirt over the seed
and pernills the use of a light smooth
ing harrow without disturbing the tu
bers. The cultivator ulso loosens the
soil on each side of the row and better
fits It for the potato roots which will
soon Invade It.
After thi-i the potatoes should be
harrowed < nee a week, If possible,
first lengthwise of the rows and then
across, until the vines are five to six
inches high.
After till:; the cultivator Is used, but
Is not run so deep as at the first culti
vation. Frequent, shallow cultivation
keeps the surface of the soil loose,
conserves the moisture and gives a
chance for the root system to spread.
PREPARING CORN FOR HOGS.
lowa Bulletin Offers Valuable Sugges
tions to Farmers.
In the corn belt, where corn is the
principal hog food and hogs one of
the principal farm products, the best
method of preparing coni for feediug
to hogs is a question worthy of the
attention of every farmer. The most
common method of feeding corn is Id
the ear Just as It comes from the
crib. Other Inethods that are often
used are spelling and soaking, grind
ing and feeding dry, grinding and soak
ing and grinding together with the
cob. It Is estimated that it took a
hundred million bushels of corn to
teed the la gs of lowa laat year, ac
cording to a bulletin from the lowa
experiment station,. To have shelled
and ground this corn would have cost
$3,000,000. In order to find out wbeth
er or not s uch an expenditure would
be Justified the animal husbandry sec
tion of the Iow r a experiment station
conducted a series of experiments In
which corn prepared in all these dif
ferent ways was fed to both young
and old hogs. These experiments,
which were conducted during 1907 and
1008, produced some interesting and
valuable results. The drta and con
clusions obtained from these expert
ments have been published In bulle
tin No. 103. A careful s‘udy cf this
bulletin will be of great Trine to every
hog grower In the corn bolt and give
a definite basis on which to plan fu
ture feeding operations. Copies can
be obtained from Director C ft Cur
