How We Cultivate
The style of cultivator used depends
upon the condition of the land and the
equipment of the farmer. We gen-
erally use a riding cultivator; hut
when there are stumps or etones in
the way or the ground is too rough,
a regular fixe -tooth adjustable culti-
vator is the proper thing to use. With
this style of cultivator we always go
twice-in-a—row, that is, we cultivate
bath sides of each individual row. If
the soil is very heavy the crop should
be laid by with a double -shovel plow
just before the plants commence to

grpund?" I have raised a great many
crops of potatoes and I invariably
plant them on my new land, I have
tried out many different methods and
believe that. I have arrived at a very
close approach to perfection in this
field; therefore, I respectfully offer
what follows in my answer to the
question at the head of this para-
graph.
It is hard to do a good job of plow-
ing on new ground because it is usuals
ly rough and contains a more or less
bounteous crop of roots and snags;
but anything that is worth doing at
all is worth doing well; I always take
some pains and do as good a job as
possible.

The next step is the planting. While
the drill method works very well in old
ground, I prefer planting in checks in
new ground for two reasons: First,
the soil can be thoroughly stirred
around the hill, promoting a healthy
expansion of the tuber -cluster and
killing the briers and grass that would
otherwise line the rows. Second:
When the crop is harvested there is
no living thing in sight; the wild
growths have been thoronighly sub-
dued and the field is in excellent shape
for any .crop that I want to plant the
following year.

seed to two eyes and planting one
piece in a hill; this is better than cut-

I wait until the first crop of young
bugs begin to hatch and then I apply
freely to every hill, being careful to
get the dope well into the centre or
heart of the plant, as here is where
the young bugs first congregate; I
treat every hill the same whether
there are any bugs in it or not. When
I am done the potato patch looks as

troubles is ended for some time. If
there are no other potatoes near this
one application is all that is required;
but if your neighbor neglects his bugs
they will often invade your crop and
necessitate another application later
on. I have never had touse more
than two applications and usually
only one. Last year I raised a patch
of potatoes in an isolated spot and
treated them in this manner; after a
period of two weeks I carefully ex-
amined the plants and failed to find a
single bug, young or old, in the whole
patch; and I didn't see another one

the animal should be standing in a
natural position on level ground, with

buckled should fit snugly to the side
of the neck, and its face should follow
closely and be in even contact with

FARM FIRE PROTECTION
By D. Williamson
"Well, you saved the barn, any-
way," I said, consolingly.
"Yes—by sheer good luck," grunted
the owner of Maple Grove Farm, pick-
ing a dented fire pail from the cin-
ders. "The wind happened to be
blowing the other way; that was all."
"Couldn't you get a fire stream on
it? I thought you had a good water -
supply!"
"I thought so, too. I had a pres-
sure -tank in the pit under my shop,
and a gravity -tank over it, on a high
iron tower. But the fire started in
the shop, and burst through the roof
before we discovered it. In two mi-
nutes the iron supports of the tower
were red hot and crumpled up—there
the thing lies." He pointed to what
looked like a blackened, tangled
framework of a wrecked Zeppelin.
"Of course, when the tosyer-tank fell,
It landed on the pressure -tank, smash-
ing the valves off that; my gasoline
engine and pump were in the shop,
too; the fire -buckets had been carried
off to slop the hogs ---and there you
are1"
Now, all this isn't an argument
against' fire protection; precisely the
opposite. My friend did not have a
good fire system; and so he lost sev-
eral thousand dollars' worth of farm
buildings, with all their contents. Iron
is far less fire -proof than stout tim-
bers; it bends like wax, when hot, and
should never be used for a tank -tow-
er, unless set away off by Itself. The
pressure -tank should have been buried
in the ground. The pumping -engine
ought to have been in a small, isolat-
ed building, And so on.
In these war -time days a farm fire
is as much a national calamity as the
destruction of.a munitions or a ship -
care of the animal's shoulder is a
simple process.
Under these conditions washing the
shoulder with soap and pure water,
after the harness has been removed
at the end of a day's work, and
thoroughly drying the parts by rub-
bing them with clean cloths is all that
is necessary. -
The. colt that is being broken to
work in the spring should be stared
in on light draft while the weather is
still cool, so that his shoulders as
well as the rest of his body may be
toughened and put in good working
condition before the hot summer
weather.
Other common causes for diseased
neck and shoulders on a horse where
preventive measures should also be
applied are implements with excessive
terials in their construction. Such tough weights or excessive move -
materials as heavy duck, ticking, and
leather are used either alone or in
various combinations. .

tools that are tight to their handles
add to the enjoyment one has in his
work, To have a hoe slip readily
through the soil, doing a nice clean
job, contributes to one's self-respect
and makes him proud of the work he
is doing. If the hoes, spades, weed-

Common whitewash, with a little

In a large, connected mass of farm
buildings, fire parti'bions can be run
up, so that a fire can be kept from
spreading. These partitions should
of course cut right through the roofs
and frame walls, and can be made of
brick, cement block, hollow tile or
metal lath plastered with cement. All
doors through such partitions must be
tightly covered with tin on both sides.

Hair Remedies.
Civilization is responsible for bald
heads. There may be diseases of
the hairy scalp among savages, and
others who never wear any head cov-
ering, but I do not remember to have
seen any account of them.
Certainly, savages shave the hair
from their heads, for what we call
"cosmetic effect" or perhaps for fear
it may fall out from diseases.
But such diseases as fevers, which
result in loss of hair, are not very
common among them as long as they
are free from the vices and restraints
of civilization.
We can therefore say that baldness
is one of the ills which has come with
social development.
Dandruff often causes baldness and
means an excessive supply of the oily,
greasy substance provided by the
sebaceous glands to keep the hair
smooth and soft under normal con-
ditions.
much baldness, and perhaps that is
why it was given up.
Hair that is dry and brittle needs
oil; hairthat is normal does not. Hair
that is greasy from too much seba-
ceous matter, needs an astringent to
dry up the excessive secretion.
Simple, diluted alcohol or bay rum
will do this as well as expensive lot-
ions and tonics.
If the hair has fallen out, and the
root structure is not dead, stimulant
substances, like cantharides• or mus-
tard or nux vomica, will often start a
new growth and hair tonics' contain-
ing these substances may be useful.
If the matrix and the sebaceous
glands connected with the hair stric-
tures are dead, no tonic will revi-re
them.
The treating of the hair, even by
those who are skilled, is therefore in
many cases a matter of experiment
and it is wiser to get the opinion of a
dermatologist as to what may be use-
ful, than to depend upon one's own
opinion or the recommendation of
friends.
A. D.—Answer—This growth whiclt
you refer to, is called a "poly -pus,"
and is often accompanied by hemorr-
hage. I would advise you to go to a
