BEDDING SWEET POTATOES.
As to Date — floiv to Prepare and
Manage tlie Bed.
In regard to bedding sweet potatoes
as early as January in North Carolina
a correspondent of The Southern Cul
tivator is of the opinion that there is
nothing gained, and one runs great
risk of losing the potatoes. He says:
“I will give you my plan, which I
think brings them in q%te early
enough. I bed from 1st to 10th of
March and have transplanted by Gtli
of April. I have seen slips on my lied
in ten days after bedding.
“Select a southerly exposure for the
bed after determining the size of bed.
dig down and throw out the dirt six
inches deep, fill in about half full of
green stable manure, then cover two
inches deep with good soil, being care
ful not to allow them to touch each
other, then cover with rich, well pul
verized soil about two caches deep.
Cover this bed with plank, so as to
turn the rainwater from it. If they
do not come up in 10 or 15 days, re
move the plank and water with warm
soapsuds, again returning the plank.
There will be slips ready to transplant
in April.
“After they begin to come up remove
the plank, as the object of the cover
is to retain the heat in the manure
until the potatoes are well sprouted.”
A SXOWPROOF VEXTII.ATOR.
side and open the opposite one. Enough
draft will be formed to draw all tlie
foul air from below. The cover to the
shaft will further prevent snow com
ing in and will keep sparrows from
bothering.
The best plan of cupola will provide
for windows on all four sides, connect
ed as shown. The shaft should be open
at the bottom, but provided with
slide to close it in warm weather, and
an opening should be made near the
top of the stable, which may be opened
in warm weather when the lower one
is closed.
Winter Plowing In tlie South.
Land plowed in winter and left in
the rough will be in fine condition for
early spring preparation and planting.
Anywhere north of latitude 30 there is
likely to be enough “black frost” to
disintegrate clods and cause them to
pulverize readily under the harrow or
roller. A thorough preparation of soil
is equal to a considerable dressing of
fertilizer and reduces the amount of
labor required in cultivating the future
crop. Winter plowing turns up nu
merous hybernating insects, and they
perish by the cold exposure. Some ag
ricultural writers hold that tlie soil
should not be left without protection
of a vegetable growth during winter.
If the ground is uneven and inclined to
wash, it would be better with a coating
of weeds, vines or grass, but where
there is no tendency to wash the rains
will do no harm, and tlie advantage of
having a fine seedbed will far outweigh
any loss of fertilizer caused by lack of
shade. It is the baking summer sun
that impoverishes tlie naked soil, says
Texas Farm and Ranch.
Crab <irass Kay.
Crab grass hay is distinctly a south
ern forage plant. It is an annual,
growing vigorously in the wet period
of midsummer and seeding abundant
ly. Even when cut for hay it is be
lieved usually to have reached such a
stage of maturity that the nest year's
growth is assured from seed dropped.
The ripening, as also the haying, is ac
companied by such perfect weather
that the straw is bright and fresh look
ing. and even when seed has ripened
and the hay has passed its best estate
for digestion its looks indicate an ear
lier stage of development than has ac
tually been attained.
Did you got a sample of Dr. Tlch-
enor’s Antiseptic? If so,don’t throw
it away. It is too good to be wasted.
You’ll need it when you hurt your
self or somebody shoots you just to
see you jump. If not write to Sher
ouse Medicine Co , New Orleans for
sample.
Irrigation of Blackberries.
One important point in the irrigation
of blackberries established by the ex
pertinents of Professor Jordan at the
New Jersey station is that the effect of
irrigation is not confined to the year in
which the water is applied. The pres
ence of sufficient moisture to provide
for the growth and development of
plant and fruit seems to favor
growth of cane thoroughly matured
and fitted for the succeeding season’s
work. The dry season of 1S9S occurred
during the ripening period, and great
clusters of nearly developed fruit dried
up completely where not irrigated.
Nothing of the kind occurred when wa
ter was given. The dry period of 1S99
occurred very early in the development
of the fruit and was not long enough in
duration to materially affect the crop,
yet the results were again very mark
edly in favor of irrigation.
New Notion In Growing Dima Beans.
For the past nine years 1 have raised
lima beans in my garden and for two
years past have used wire in place of
bean poles, and I wish to say that any
one having once used wire will never
go back to the old system. On the
south side of^an uM building I have
set some c-euar posts ten feet or more
above the ground and about 30 feet
from the building. On these posts have
been spiked some 2 by 4 scantling.
Some heavy screw hooks are fastened
to the building, and to the hooks I
fasten a heavy single wire (or double if
preferred) and run the same to the 2
by 4 for an overhead wire. I have my
hills all boxed in with six inch strips
of lumber and drive a plug or short
stake in the center of each hill and
LIMA BEANS TRAINED TO UPRIGHT WIRES,
then fasten to the stake a wire, such
as stovemen use for wiring stovepipe,
and fasten the same to the overhead
wire. In a windstorm beans receive
less punishment than when poles are
used, and no wire has ever broken a
stem. The soil here is sandy, and by
boxing the hills and using water free
ly I can force the growth and have
early beans. Limas have matured here
with me in Michigan as early as the
31st of July. The vertical wires that
I have used for two seasons I expect
to use again, and the cost is much less
than poles and more satisfactory. I
think my vines have grown in favora
ble weather not less than six inches in
a single day, says a correspondent in
Vick’s Magazine, who also sends a
picture of the portion of his garden
here described.
In recent years a new industry has
sprung up and developed into one o?
considerable commercial importance.
The hygienic value of nuts is better
