Lindsay W1 be “robust grower, fine flavor, long keeping and best shipping main crop po- hto.” The New Idea], originated prob- tbly in New Jersey, is another claimant lor favor which is highly recommended. ‘ At present prices of some of these nov- ilties the ordinary grower cannot be mpected to purchase them by the quan- tity. Many who like to test new pota- toes will have to be satisfied with a pound or so of Carman No. 1, Carmen 50,3, Irish Daisy, Craig and others. In that case, however, the grower will wish lo make the most of his seed. '1‘. Grain- »: an excellent authority, tells in The Farm and Fireside how to do this.

The Craig pota- to, an Ohio production, is boomed as something way above the average.

Country Gentleman, authority for the foregoing, adds that poles and even cordwood are used under such circum- stances with success. With the former a throat can be made of fairly good size, which in some respects will look like the stone drain shown. When the ground has become settled, stone or tile drains should be substituted for the brush. If stone is used, it should be remembered that the ditches must be deeper than if tiled, since in filling the drain the top of it will come nearly a foot nearer the surface than the tile drain, and it might become obstructed if mice and other vermin are present, by their digging down to the top of the drain and allowing the earth and silt to sift into it. Stone drains, if well laid, as shown, and put not less than 3% or 4 feet deep, will stand perfectly. and to all intents and purposes are as good as tile. \\"hen the only expense of the brush drain is in labor, it all depends upon the financial side of the labor ques- tion. By all means, beginning at the lower end of the marsh, try Some of these drains, placing them at the most not less than 30 to 40 feet apart, if the land is to be thoroughly and efl’ectually drained. v... v vâ€"_ -â€" It is extraordinary that the hives in the majority of apiaries are not placed to give the beekeeper the best advan- tage, owing perhaps to the idea held by some beekeepers that it is goodâ€"esâ€" sentialâ€"to have the bees near the ground. An Ohio Farmer correspond- ent says that the best arrangement for bees is a platform upon posts sunk in the ground at frequent intervals. , If the platform have a roof, it makes it all the better for the bees and the beekeeper during the warm weather. The roof should be portable and not be put on before June, because bees want ‘11 the sun they can get up to that time. Height of Beehives. In many apiaries the hives stand near the ground upon a piece of joist 3 or 4 inches wide, or upon bricks, one under each corner. In others the hives stand a foot high, and again hives may be seen two or three feet high perched on posts. As far as the bees are concerned1 it does not matter whether hives be high or low, although, judging by the habits of the bees, the higher the hive is the better they would like it. But the bee- keeper is the one to be accommodated by the position of the hive. He will place it at the height where it will be most convenient for him.

Boggy land cannot well be drained at first with either stone or tile unless there is aplank or board laid in the bot- tom of the ditch, and if there is a large quantity of brush present by all means use it in the pioneer work, which may be made to result; in bringing the land under proper cultivation. Dig drains through the marsh about three feet deep and fill them half full of brush, lopping the branches where they prevent the brush from lying close. Place the tops of the branches down stream. Over all place a good covering of straw or some other coarse material to prevent the earth from sifting into the drain.

But, like all breeds, they must be properly cared for, or they will not remain in a healthy state. As layers they cannot, as a rule, equal the American birds.

Since wood ashes con- we want thoroughbred animals for breeding, and the same care in selection should obtain in the one case as in the other. By all means reject undersized, imperfect, badly shaped potatoes for seed, says American Agriculturist. Seed Potatoes. The studies of The American Agri- culturist’s potato tests give some inter- esting points. While the reports from farmers who raised big yields show wide difl’erence in the quantity of seed used, upon one leading point there is great unanimity among all growersâ€"viz: The careful selection of the potatoes used for seed. In every instance fair, smooth, handsome, well shaped potatoes were chosen. Not always were they large, but they were always of uniform size and weighing usually from six to eight ounces each. In one case 26 bushels used in seeding an acre were selected from a choice lot of 50 bushels of fair, mer- chantable potatoes.‘ The range in the amount of seed used was very greatâ€" from 8 to 66 bushels, the average being 21% bushels. The amount of seed used in preparing for the three largest yields reported were, respectively, 26, 66 and 1331’: bushels. A curious thing about this seeding is that in the first instance the crop was 974 bushels, in the second 847 and in the last 738 bushels. Another curious fact is shown by a further study of the returns. In New York a planting of 40 bushels of seed yielded a crop of 441 bushels, and in Maine 9. seeding of but 10 bushels gavea yield of 537 bush- els. In this last instance the potatoes were allvcut to one eye, and the seed ends and stem ends discarded. Every- thing points to the fact that we want high bred potatoes \for seed, as much as AN AUTOMATIC AGITATOR. handle by a slot (F), so that it: may be quickly slipped off and worked upward and downward a few times before be- ginning to pump. In the adjustment of this apparatus to the barrel, the pump must be brought near enough to the end of the barrel to all w of the full sweep of the pump handle, and the rod (A) fixed to the handle so as to give a full sweep to the elbow (B), that the dashers may be car- ried forward and backward to their full- est extent. N o patent has been applied for on this appliance, Professor May- nard wishing all the fruit growers to have the benefit of it. All the parts are made of flat iron one-eighth inch thick by three-fourths inch wide and can be made by one having facilities for cutting such iron and drilling holes to fasten it together. The parts are held together by short stove bolt-s. The dashers are fastened to the rod by a screw passing through it. This contrivance, as illustrated by Rural New Yorker, is made for use with the barrel lying on its side and consists If an arm (A) of flat iron one-eighth inch thick and seven-eighths inch Wide, at- tached to the handle of the pump and entering the barrel about six or eight inches from its head. This arm is at- tached to an elbow (B), with arms 6 inches in length, which is fastened into a socket about 4 inches in length, that is bolted to the head of the barrel at C. At the lower end of the elbow is attached a short arm (D), which is joined to the long arm that carries the dashers or agitators (E). This joint is necessary in order that the dasher may lie on the bottom of the barrel, and to be lifted up at every stroke of the pump. With the movement of the pump han- dle, the dashers move backward and for- Ward over the entire bottom of the bar- rel. thus keeping the liquid in constant motion. In order that the liquid that may have settled on the bottom may be stirred thoroughly before starting the pump, the arm (A) is fitted to the pump ESE -5355; sit weeks from :50 time at planting it will be ready for pastur- A New and Unpatented Device For Thor. onghly Agitating Spraying Compounds.
