Why
Do psople buy Hood’s Sarsaparilla in
preference to any other, — in {act almost
to the exclusion of all otherc?
Because
They know from actual use that Hood’s
is the best, i. e., it cures when others fail.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla i3 still made under
the personal supervision of the educated
pharmacists who originated it.
The question of-besf is just as positively
decided in favor of Hood’s as the question
of comparative sales.
Another thing: Every advertisement
of Hood’s Sarsaparilla is true, is honest.

These experiments imiionto -that th®
cause of tho injurious effects of fending
cottonseed meal to hogs is not yet fully

it is not advisable for farmers to risk
losing their hogs by experimenting with
this feed, however abundant and cheap
it may bo. In tho course of time tills
much discussed question will be defi
nitely settled, and until then it would
bo safe for farmers to await the result

iJsvnUnir or.:! cu'.tiv.'.'iug a sweet pntutn
crop. L:iaf yottf I was row e.irefcl in
fur mid manaring my p tata
ei-' P, and liauju-mnise of a fine vleht—
.the vines were he-tdthy qa l luxrtvia-.t,
but tha yield of potatoes very dis
was too rich to miuto a paying crop. 1
Answer. — If you had mmitioned spe
,eiflenUy the kind aud quivitv of manure
RSed, and tho quality of tho land in
which yonr crop was grown, wa could
perhaps give a more satisfactory an
swer. Speaking in general terms and
Tram our past experience, wo should say
that where potatoes shew n luxuriant
float growth r.t tho expense of tubers, it
pt,proof, not that tha land Is too rich,
jjmt that tlu-pj is laeking some element
of plant food, which, if supplied, would
.prometo a more even development of
the whole plant. Tho luxuriant leaf
growth indicates the presenoo of snffi
-eimjt hitrirtu iu the soil, but the small
Staid of pot at oo: allows tiiat iu propor
(iea to the hitrogan there was too lit Mo
apt anil* and' phosplwrio acid for perfect.
Aievoiopment. Tho potato i.s eEsontially
pmiji crop. An addition of acid phos
phate and sulphate of potash would
have probably wonderfully increased
yield. At tho Texas Experiment
rotiticu a careful series of experiments
Bpto demonstrated that Iho sulphate
and not Up muriate of potash, is tho
■gHs furui of potash lor a sweet potato
lisp. In fertilising your crop, if you
■ Bti4>lq'ittauaro it should huvo been
|Bp?eatQd yfith leaves or some vegeta
flMi.att'ei' aud thoroughly decomposed,
Bk broadens tad. This will supply a
Sxffijput-quautity of nitrogen and liu-
lack tho right proportion
aKKoah mk phogphorl; acid. At tho
: aMtuerimont Station it was
i -rid that the yield was lummMiA
alone word used. If tiie pro
ending crop Wius peas, tho stubble
dressed with lime aud turned under
will furnish a firstclass foundation fin
al good crop. After this the proportion
of sulphate of potash aud acid phos
phate should be about one part of sul
phate to f :tn- parts acid, and applied in
the drill at tha rate of 50J or 401 pounds
fei Bit* ivde The land should have boon
thoroughly plowed, but nut too deep,
or else tho potatoes may grow long and
crooked. This is one crop that succeeds
best on land brQkeu to only a moderate
depth with a firm Fobs oil. Tho crop
should for tho same reason bo cultivated
as nearly on a levol as possible; tho old
plan of very high bids has beon found
unsatisfactory. As the potato is a trop.
ical plant, very little is gained by early
setting. We should wait for the ground
to become thoroughly warm and regu
late our planting according to locality.
Throughout the stato May is the mouth
iu which tho bulk of the crop in planted.
It is always preferable to put opt tho
slips before rather than after a rain—on
Account of tli# hard crust that forms
around them when tho ground Is wet at
the timo of transplanting. We have
su-coi- led, with tho loss of scarcely
a plant, when tho weather was dry, by
opening the holes, pouring in a dipper
of water, setting tho plants in deep,
pressing the wet earth to the roots, and
covering with dry earth. This may be
done very rapidly, if the work is sys
tematized. Tho plants should bo drawn
oaiefirily from the bed, and placed at
once where tltt-y are to remain. If kept
for any length of time they should bo
placed in buckets or tubs of water.
Hating opened tiro holes, let one baud
go forward pourin'; in the water, a sec
ond coinC with the plants, dropping one
at each place anil a third follow to press
them into (he ground, and cover with
the dry dirt, leaving only the top of the
slip exposed. As goon as I lie p.auts be
gin to grow cultivation s-ioa.d begin,
aud if size and qualify are desired tiiey
should not ka allowed t,< r iot bet ween
The rows or in the beds. If tho'crop is
intended for the hogs, we do not need
to exercise so great cure iu this respect.
The spring set plants have not the keep
ing qualities of the later settings. For
this purpose cud for seed potatoes, tho
cuttings are preferable. Those may be
taken from the early settings, and a
quick plan to set them is to open the
farrow on the Ixal, which has been pre
viously fertilised, place the cuttings
about 15 or Its inches apart in this fur
row, throw another furrow to them and
then tramp the earth {irmly to each cut
ting, leaving from 5 to 1 inches out of
the ground. These, too, should be cul
tivated as soon as they begin to grow.
As stated, the cultivation t hotild boas
nearly on a level ns p- ssiblo, shallow,
and-eufflcie-it to keep dowu all weeds
and grass. Hardwood ashes arc a good
substitute for the sulphate of petash,
but unlees the ashes are at hand iu
Bufflciout quantities, that is if they have
’•chouiroL they are. more qxpeqsiye
than tTio litjtfi grade su'.pa.ifo o' p fash.
A ton of ashes contains only about 100
pounds of potash. It is this potash
wliieh gives them their value, and it is
iu a form to Ire readily appropriated by
the plants, bnt at the selliug prices of
ashes and sulphate the latter will be
found the cheaper fertilizer.—State Ag

Question: — Please give me the best
manure for cabbages. Is it too late to
set out plants during l ho present mouth?
Answer.— Cabbages arc very gross
feeders, nial if good heads ate expected
tlio manure must not be spared. The
best preparation for the land is well de
composed lot manure heavily broadcast
and plowed in or a green crop'frented
in tho same way. Nothing better than
cow peas, turned under. Tho laud
should bo deeply plowed, mid the fol
lowing fertiliser applied in the rows at
the rate of about 4.V) to CD pounds to
tiie avo, and thoroughly mixed with
the. si jb before the plant: nro put in, foO
pounifvtieid phosphate, :JD p muds mu
riate potash, 301) pounds nitrate soda,
To pounds cottonseed meal. The plants
may bo set at any time after danger of
a freezo has passed, and even in dry
weather, if tho precaution is observed
to plant tho roots in damp earth, cover
with dry, and then protect the plant
fir a day or two from tho direct rays
of the sun. For early fall cabbage
a good plan is to set ■ tjia._ plants
on land on which a crop of early pota
toes was grown. Sow the seeds thinly
in a plant bed the last of May or first of
Juno After tho potatoes are dug, thor
oughly plow and pulverize the land,
then open tho furrows 3 feet apart, put
in tha fertilizer, about 500 pounds to the
aero, mul cover by throwing on two fur
rows. As soon ns the plants iue ready,
smooth off tlio beds and set tho cab
bages in deeply, pressing the soil firmly
to the roots of each plant, and 1-aving

. Question. —I wish' to keep up two
milch cows and soil them, that Is, cut
for them green f tuff and feed them in
their stalls. What forage plant would
yon recommend for this purpose?
Answer. —For this purpose I would
unhesitatingly recommend cat-tail mil
let, called glso Pearl millet, Japan mil
let and Horan millet. On rich laud this
millot makes an astonishingly rapid
growth, and can 1m cut several times
during tho season, furnishing a large
amount of fairly good forage. Sow iu
drills three foot apart- nnd cultivate as
you would corn. Six to eight pounds of
seed will plant nil acre. ' This forago
plant lias yielded 05 tons of green fod

a moderate increase in the amount of

the largest area of food crops in her his

somo instances more. If a kind Provi
