Extensive Potato Cultivation.
The potato is probably more in
demand at all times, and will show
a better proportionate profit, year
in and year out, than any other
farm crop. In next week's issue of
this paper Will appear a,n article
dealing thoroughly and interesting-
ly with the methods of one success-
ful farmee in Western Ontario, who
has grown potatoes extensively for
43 years, and who last year sold
$1,200 worth of potatoes from a
twelve -acre patch of his 150 -acre
farm. ,

Hee are some interesting facts
cited by the • farmer about whom

or good commercial fertilizer should
• be used to renew the .elements re-
quired by the. soil.
Gerutination.
Crops are often lost through the
failure of the seeds to germinate.
Don't blame your seedsman for this.
It is usually beeause in planting
the soil is left loose about the tiny
seeds, an44he dry atmosphere pene-
trates to them, shrivelling them up
until all vitality is destroyed.
Vegetable erops as a rule are sown
in rows, and in every ease, as soon
as the eeed le sown, it, should be
pressed down in the drill with the
foot, then covered up level by the
-backsof.a.rake, drawn lengthwise of
the drills, and again firmed by the
roller or back of a spade. For want
of this simple precaution, perhaps
one-quarter of all seeds sown fail
to germinate. Again, for the same
reason, when setting out plants of
any kind, be tertain that the soil
is pressed close to the root. We

Large, ;smooth, concrete man-
gers for, feeding are about the best
we know of to -day. Jiidgment and
common sense must be exerCised in
the methods of feeding and hand-
ling the cows. Fixed rules in feed-
ing are not practical.
Overfeeding is wasteful; under-
feeding is unprofitable, The cows
must be well nourished ,at all times
but if given more than they need
for maintenance and production,
they waste it, as a rule
The quality of milk -that is, the
amount of milk and fat that it con-
tains -is controlled mole by 'the
constitutional characteriNtic of the
cow than by the feed,
Never air up dust Or foul odors
at milking time. If .you do, a lot
of it is sure, to get into 'the milk.
Whether to feed the cow.s just be-
fore milking is a much debated
question. It is not at all danger-
ous to feed them a little grain, pro-
vided you stir up no dust or dis-
agree.able odors.
AS a Tule, the cows will give down
their milk more freely -when they
ha,ve contented minds, and a little
of the right kind of feed eoes a, long
way • toward 'bringing about this
contented state of mind. Never
clean the stables just before milk- •
ing, for it will stir up a tenfold
worse edor man any feed the cows
will eat.
If there is any question be-
fore the ,farmers of this c•ouatey
of more importance than, that ef
conserving the soil's fertility, I am
not tognizant of it.
The most important busines.e of
dairy farmers is te increase -the
quantity of manurial subetaneee
and apply it where it is most need-
ed.
All of the manure, both lignid
and solid, should be saved arid ap-
plied ,to the land: 1 beilievz it is
the best to haul it from the stable
to the field and,appl,y it as fast as
made. , .
When all the liquids have been
saved by the use 'of absorbente,
large amounts of manure may be
made, und; if it is hauled to the .
fields dire& from the stable, these ;
liquids will drain'into the -soil to
She depth AA the furrow slice, and
thoeszew. m ill be little loss froex-
p•
In addition, the cows will not be
waddling knee 'deep in the mire and
filth every time they'are turned out
in the yards for water and exer-
.cise. Most „of the. wp,r1t coines at a
time When other' f•aein opera:liens
are slack and the toil, besides be-
ing enriched, plows easier and
works up better during the 'whole
of the., next season, on account of
being made pueons by being cover -
ea .with manure during the winter. :
When hauling the:, ;,gianure from :

There is no .reasonable excuse
for a dairy farmer to ,allow more
than one-third of- his 'manurial fele
tility to wash away in a dirty, filthy
barnyard,- and :spend „qpe..,o,r two
weeks during the busy .season
