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 ricultural Department. Mftorrlnj; m Planting; CHUbrijje*. 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 only i lie top leaves exposed.—Stato Ag ricult urnl Department. ltow to cbft lild of Mole*. - Question Jlow can I get rid of motes?

Hunt Fiirajn Plant Tor Cow*. . 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 der. or 15 tons of dry lmy to tha acre. —State Agricultural Department. dtiil The further down hill the sled goes the faster It speeds.
