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 timore Sun. ' Not Troubled.

Farm and Garden 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 . DIGOINO POTATOES ON lIiRTOATED LAND. 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.
