THE SOIL AND ITS PREPARATION. --
PLANTING.
Editor Country Gentleman—In
Many localities early potatoes are
more profitable than a late crop.
Consumers will frequently refuse
good Bound old potatoes at 40 to 50
tents per bushel, when they will
pay the same sum for a peck of new
potatoes. I also notice that some of
the early potatoes shipped to our
market are of inferior size. Early
home-grown potatoes of good quality
and fair size are in demand in any
local market,
Not all potato soil is adapted for
an early crop. Neither is all potato
'climate suitable for early maturity.
The nature of the soil must be such
that it admits of early tillage in the
spring. The physical condition of
the soil must be such that it generates
and retains heat. It naturally sug-

tatoes we ever had was on ground
that was manured and plowed yery
shallow in the fall.
I noticed this fall that one of our
most successful early potato growers
ploVed his ground twice at an inter-
val of about a month. The last
-plowing was as deep as could be—
perhaps not as deep as the soil per-
mits, but as deep as"the plow's capa-
city. Early potatoes are planted
annually on this soil, followed by
some market crop. The potato tops
in this patch always show that there
is someting in the soil that produces
an unusual growth. Yet this rapid
ratile growth is not to be desired. in
early potatoes. It is all right if no
destructive frost comes. Last year
this gardner's potato patch was eona-
pletely frozen down, while others of
Moderate growth were but slightly
inj ured.
We make a fatal mistake by judg-
ing the value of manure by the size
of the vines. We must have healthy
normal growth of tops. At the same
time manure must produce tubers.
From my experience .1 believe
that wood ashes in canjunction with
JStable manure pays. Commercial
fertilizer on our soil has no percep-
tible .effect on the yield of potatoes.
The kind of fertilizer used, whether
home made or commercial, may to a
certain extent determine the hardi-
ness of the plant. -
The earlier tbo planting, the better
the soil should be prepared. A young
animal in cold and stormy weather
needs better attention . than in the
pleasant summer days. When the
-temperature of the soil is between
80 and 40 degrees, plants outlet as
readily obtain nourishment as when
the soil is warmed to GO degrees and
upwards. Fence the necessity of
helping the plants by thorough pul-
verization. Such work can only be
properly done when the soil is in a
right condition. Early potato rais-
ers are frequently baffled at this
point—theground being too wet when
potatoes should be planted. If we
have three or four days' clear weath-
, er, we can partly overcome this
hindrance by using the cultivator or
double shovel plow. Let the calti-
vator run about two inches deep the
first time. This loose soil wilt soon
dry out. Next cultivation, go deep-
er. If we use an iron double shovel
plow nr a two -horse cultivator, we
can stir the soil as deep as with a
two -horse plow. Ily adopting this

the capacity for a larger crop. The
fourth reason is, being planted deep,
they develop a greater root system.
This large root system gives them a
greater capacity to obtain plant food,
and also prepares them to resist
drouth better than shallow planting.
Plant as early in the spring as the
soil permits. We must anticipate
that now and then our seed in the
soil may freeze; also the vines cut

Farm Notes.
While we bear considerable of
farmer and dairymen grumbling
about the lack of profits in their
business, we see occasionailly the
repoits of enterprising business men
going into farming on a large scale
to make money. The question natur-
ally arises Is the blame not with
the farmer ? If his methods are not
the best he must expect to fail.
Business men do it, and there is- no
reason why farmers should not.
Only the wisest and shrewdest sac-
. ceed in anything,
The milk -shipping business to our
large cities has reached enormous
proportions, and it pays the progres-
sive produces better in winter than
in summer. Thus, througfl this
channel there is plenty to do in' the
I dairy line, and a fair rate of profit
lin prospect after the factories close.
Conditions often change rapidly in
dairy communities, but the fact
never changes that good milk and
its products have always a value of
their own. If a dairyman is not
satisfied witb what milk mauufactur-
ers or shippers offer him, he can
make it up at home, the more skil-
fully the better to his advantage.

An Electric Rifle.
Heavy guns have long been fired
by electricity, but electrically ex-
ploded small arms have not hitherto
come within the sphere of the in-
ventor. It is hard to see wherein an
electrically actuated rifle can, for all!
praetical purposes, be an improve-
ment on the extremely efficient ex-
ploding mechanism with which arins
of precision are now fitted, but ,the
designer of a rifle in which the cart-
ridge is exploded by electricity
claims that in this method, thereis
none of the flashing out of the pow-
der common with the merely percus-
sive hamther, and all the powder is
consumed, to the manifest improve-
ment of the penetrative power of the
bullet, A battery is inserted. in the
stock, with wires running to a strip
of metal on the one hand. and the
hammer—whieh is fitted on the
upper part of the trigger—on the
other. The metal strip makes con-
tact with the metal .beise of the shell.
A pin, which runs into the cartridge,
has its rounded head projecting
slightly beyond the base of the cart-
ridge. Between this and the point
of the hammer is a plate studded
with a pointed head, which lies elose
to the cartridge, As the trigger is
pulled the hammer flies forward,
striking the plate, whose pointed
head is driven on to the projecting
head of the eartridge pin. This
spark thus caused within the cart-
ridge explodes the powder.

Notes for Beekeepers.
A cell properly developed and of
full size is sure to produce a well des
veloped queen.
The life of the bee depends upon
the work it does. When it labors its
life is shortest.
Drone laying queens. are worthless
in every respect, for the drones they
produce are deficient.
A young queen that has defective
wings so that she cannot fly should
be destroyed. She will be a drone
layer.
Bees will destroy an old worn-out
queen, but never except when the
conditions are favorable for raising a
new queen.
To place honey on the market in
the best possible shape it would be
taken from the, hives before it is
spoiled by the bees.
A strong colony is always proof
against robbers. See that all have
good laying queens and young
broods in the hives. Care in this
respect in good season will avoid
much loss.
A moderate flow of honey during
the fall months puts the bees in good
condition to withstand the winter;
brood raising is kept up and a good
supply of boos is produced which
will be more apt to go through the
winter successfully.
To avoid craeks'in cakes of wax,
do not allow the outside to cool rap-
idly. Put a cloth and board over
the dish while cooling, or let it stand
in a stove oven while the fires die
out over night. Care in this respect
will add to the appearance of the
wax at least.—St. Louis Republic.
She Onght to Know.
Havine used Burdock Blood Bitters
for 15 years I cannot keep from recom-
mending it to others. I have sold hun-
dreds of bottles from my store, and as
keep other medicines I ought to know
which sells best. It is a wonderful
medicine.
