<* * & £4,000 A YEAR IN POTATOES R te Owing to the close proximity of the United States gardens, with their early varieties, Mr. Johnson prefers to handle late potatoes. Planting, for the most part, is done the first week in June. Just here it might be mentioned that, on this farm, seedâ€"cutting is done by hand, the proprietors having found that, no matter how efficient the machine used, spuds went to the fields withâ€" out the necessary "eye."" As Mr. 6 Iutelvy invaluable for use on the poriato â€" grourd. When _ spring comes. plowing and discing are done. barayard manure being apâ€" plied at the rate of twelve to fifâ€" teon loads per acre. Should the supply of manure be exhausted, & fertilizer â€" consisting of _ potash (21%), ammonia (10%) and dissolved phosphate (66%) is applied by means of a fertilizer drill. The soil is, after manuring or fertilizâ€" ing, thoroughly cultivated with a twoâ€"horse cultivator, and this operâ€" ation is repeated from five to seven times, at intervals of a few days. _ cATEST MACHINERY ESSENTIAL TO sUCCESS.

The planting is completed by about the 10th of June, and thereafter comes conâ€" tinuous cultivation. After the seed has been planted for a week, the ground is harrowed lightly, and a week or so later a cultivator, with hillers, is used. Once the plants appear above the surface, cultivaâ€" tion continues at intervals of one week during the entire growing season. A oneâ€"horse hiller is used aftc the plants attain a fair growth Then comes spraying. t "We use an American machine,‘" Mr. Johnson said, "a oneâ€"horse afâ€" fair, by means of which the driver, with a simple pressure on the foot brake, directs the spray over eight rows on each trip up and down the field. We use a paris green spray for bugs, as, in my fortyâ€"three years‘ experience I have never had a case of blight or rot. In the last two years I have sold 15,000 bushâ€" els of potatoes to my St. Thomas customers alone, and I have yet to hear of one single bad potato. This vyear we will pick about 6,000 bushâ€" els, as usual, and I venture to say that here won‘t be a quart measure full of potatoes unfit for the. best market. If you select your seed and keep your plants healthy and your soil clean, you need not bother spraying for rot or blight."

Growing over twentyâ€"five acres of potatoes, we can never go back to the old system of handâ€"picking.‘"‘ The Johnsor potatoeg .are stored for the Tithe being, and later on marketed. Mr. Johnson has over forty private customers in the city of St. Thomas, including â€" hotels, colleges, stores, etc., and, as he says, "St. Thomas will take all the, potatoes I can send it." Besides, should he care to neglect his local market, he can easily dispose of his crop each year in answer to deâ€" mands made upon him by United States dealers and buyers. _ _ _ Now, as to seedâ€"you couldn‘t sell Mr. Johnson any, be _ your specimens ever so periect. He beâ€" lieves in seed selection from his own crop, and his great success has justified his policy. On no account would he buy seed from an outâ€" sider. No variety, he says, will ever "run out" if properly propaâ€" gated by intelligent selection. His favorite "late"‘ varieties are the Worley dnd the Carmen, the latter of which he has grown continuously for.a. quarter of g century.

The writer regrets that he is unâ€" able to reproduce here a portion of what is probably the most complete and unique book of farm accounting to be found in Canada. ‘"My books show that my first sale from this farm, fortyâ€"three years ago, was 54 lbs. of Wwool at 54 cents a pound,"‘, read Mr. Johnson from his acâ€" counts. â€" ‘""From that date on, I can show a written record of every transaction made on this farm, if only for a postage stamp."‘ 1y 107 utd avk i tasis Pn s dF iB ow ns . A E Mention must needs be made of this home, built, in no small meaâ€" sure, from "potato money." _ It is surely one of the finest to be found on any Canadian farm. Such conâ€" veniences as a private acetylene plant, dumb waiter, woodâ€"elevator from cellar to kitchen, and hot, cold and soft water on tap, all conâ€" tribute to a homeâ€"life which appeals to the visitor as truly admirable. So much for one who has made his twentyâ€"eight acres of potatoes the object of special study and exâ€" periment. Let us now turn for a moment to the case of an Erin township farmer, Mr. Charles Baldâ€" win, who runs on ordinary mixed farming principles some 200 acres near the village of Hillsburg, Onâ€" tario. Above all, first and foreâ€" most, be it understood that Mr. Baldwin is a successful, practical, allâ€"round farmer; his work with potatoes iw‘in the way of a little extra attention to a very common crop. Three years ago Mr. Baldwin sold the potato crop from a fifteen acre field for about $1,000. _ How much profit? you ask. Mr. Baldwin puts it this way : "Frankly, I reckon that the poâ€" tato crop pays all farmâ€"running and minor expenses, leaving the returns from other farm work for any other use we desire." Mr. Baldwin each year plants by hand some twelve or fifteen acres, mostly of the Delaware variety, which he finds very popular on Onâ€" tario markets. Like Mr. Johnson, he finds heavy fertilization very essential and profitable, and is a firm believer, also, in the virtue of consistent, thorough summer cultiâ€" vation of the potato ground. "We find potatoâ€"growing to work in â€"well with grain crops," Mr. Baldwin said to the writer. *‘We generally sow grain on potato or turnip ground and get excellent reâ€" sults." + How can the ordinary farmer market a» big« potato crop‘! Mr. Baldwin, at the time of my visit, was throwing all his energies into the forwarding ‘of the scheme to form a Hillsburg Potato Growers‘ Association. ‘"We grow good poâ€" tatoed,"" he said, "and we want the public to feel assured in dealing with us. There are far too many varieties at present, and the ouly remedy I can see is local organizaâ€" tion, whereby all the growers of one locality will produce the same variety of potato." _ * Already this article is over bounds. Little needs to be said reâ€" garding the actual profits from poâ€" tato growing. Nearly every farmer has at some time or another gone heavily into potatoes, and, generâ€" ally, with gratifying results. This year, if ever, w0u-1<f seem to be an opportune time for the extension of the potatoâ€"growing industry on the ordinary farm.:-ngy H. B. Mcâ€" Kinnon, in The Canadian Countryâ€" man.

Joyce was staring at him with dismay and consternation in her eyes, and she was gripping the edge of the table as if she felt the need of clutching at sccthing tangible in _ a world that e cod for the moment to be going round and round.

All of which wae very bowildering, and quite beyond the power of mere man to understand, but all of which accounted for the fact that Chrie got his own way after all, and carried out his programmo to the very letter! "Oh. mummie, do come _ with me . and watch Ike feed the cows. It‘s so exciting! They toss their heads and clank their chaine. I‘m not a bit,afraid.. Do come, mumamie dear!

She was a little woman, and, looking at her, it was easy to see where Joyce got her delicate face and expressive eyes, but her face was thin and careworn, and her hair snowâ€"white.

"She has such pleasant waye, and I never saw any one so obliging and helpful. She never. once snubbed me, though I was often cross. It was always ‘Yee, Eliza, and ‘Coming, Eliza.‘ I hate to think now how I put on her, but I was blind in those days â€" blind! ‘ Well, I‘ve had my eyes opened since then," she added bitterly. _ ns "Did you really think whe lived here?"

I should like to know a little more if you don‘t mind.". y Tw To s Mre. Hamilton had time to give her an outline of all that had taken place before Mary appeared with the teapot.> There weas no false pride about Joyce®s mother, and she spoke with gratitude and affecâ€" tion of Chris Carleton, who had done «0 much for her and here. e $ Joyce‘s mother had naturally a very poor opinion of Felicity Gray, but even whe could hadly believe that the girl would prove co heartless and selfish, and sho listened with amazement and indigâ€" nation to the heartbroken woman‘s tale. "Do you mean to tell me that after all the years you have mothered her and slaved for hor ghe has cast you off like Eliza Wilkins made an excellent tea, and looked a different woman when she settled down afterwards to . tell Mrs. Hamilton® what had brought her to the Valley Farm. 4 "Do you the years slaved for this ?" f ‘"Yes.

Mr. Carmichael‘s housekeeper, that had been with him itwenty years, had to g9 too; but then she had saved quite a lot of money. and had relations to go to." "And haven‘t you saved anything?" Eliza @hook her head. "How could I, ma‘am?" she asked simâ€" ply. "I never bad any wages. Juet my food, and some new clothes when I need: ed themâ€"which wacn‘t often. And allâ€" my people are dead. I‘m afraid I‘m too old for another eituation, but I‘m going to try. That‘s what I came to Miss Joyce for. I thought perhaps she‘d give me a character. _ I _ wouldn‘t ask Mrs. Carâ€" michael for one if there was only the workhouse in front of me." 4 | And then Mrs. Hamilton did a very \recklees and fool‘sh thingâ€"and yet at the came time it wes a very beautifal thingâ€" one of those "gelden deeds" over, which the ange‘s of Heaven as surely rejoice as ever they do over the penitent «inner. She knelt down beside the weeping woâ€" lman and put her arme round her, while the tears stood in her eyes. PAE T Mrs. Hamilion wase @ilent, thinkin decply.

"Have you any money now ?" she aske gently. "You mustn‘t mind my asking I know what it is to be poor myself. have often come to my last penny." Eliza swallowed painfully.

There wae a chilling and few coppers. $ Ts ® f "I thought perhaps Miss Joyce would lend me a little tillâ€"till she got me someâ€" thing to do." The old name came more naturally to her than the new. Then she caught Mrs. Hamilton‘s eyc« fixed on herâ€"eyes like her daughter‘sâ€"deep, wistful, full of compasâ€" sionâ€"and the women‘s m't‘n:hnrgod heart gave way, "the fountains of the great deep vere broken up."
