POTATOES AS A CROP.
With a scarcity of potatoes:, and
the price peri bushel equal to that
at mbeatt, the following may be ot
interest. It comes from/ a cones-
, pontlent to the 'Weekly Sun :-- 'The
farmer who has a couple of acres of
,good potatoes can always iind a
market for the ,crop grown, and
were they moxe generally, grown
they eonld he shippedi in eat lots
from nearby -'stations, tshipping 'one-
half intim fall,. and the test itathe
spring. This would bring in ready
money ota timel when it is most
needed. The growing of potatoes,
like every &bell crop, neleds close
and regular attention. Every op-
eration must be timely and proper-
ly done; neglect' in one point may
Mill the whole erop, and the rest
of labor is all lost. .There is no
\clues/deo; but nag potatoes are a
profitable crop. Every few( years
the price is highl end rarely ,falls
below a paying basis. ,On season
we sold $1,000 worth off seven
acres, and had about one-third tho
crop—small ones—for istoeld feed
besides. We have !repeatedly) taold
$50 wonth per acre. I would advise
all farmers to graini at least a
couple of acres each year along
with the rest) of , their roots. The
crop will pay all expellees' of culti-
vation and harvesting the field, and
they will have the bulk of their
stock feed free rat/costa' '

Councils showed that they were inter
estea by doing something to encour
age the good work.
It now behooves the teacbers to in-

nrge upon them the necessity of an
mediate action so that work can be
started this spring.
In the East Hurons Teachers' Associ-
atiou. Mr. G, M. Holman, Preeident,
Mr. J, Hartley, Secretnly. and Inspec.

Every teacher in the County is
earnestly urged to be a Special Mis-
eionary, in making this a live subject
among the peoples, in making friends
for improvement among young and
old, and in supporting the Special
Committee emir:anted to interview the
Council in his or her Municipality.
These Committees are urged to at-
tend the next meeting of the Council,
get as many influential men or women
as possible to ao with them, and urge
Considerable latitude' will be allowed
the Committee in making their re-
quests. Follow the line of the "Reso-
lutions" if you will, or urge that the
Council use the Township grader to
level the roadsides if tbe farmers
plough them, and pay so much for
each tree planted in the section, etc.
The roadeides should be levelled pe -
fore trees are planted, unless they are
planted, close to the fence or inside
the fence.
In Lampton County a publicity ag-
ent is appointed and paid a salary of
51.000 a year to forward the interests
of the county. In the State of New
Jersey ID 8. Commissioners are ap-
pointed who have the authority to
plant trees and charge the cost against
the land it the owner refuses to plant
them. Lincoln County is also forging
ahead on account of the good work
being done there along the line of im-
provement. Farms there are already
increasing in value. The same good
results will follow here.

NO SECRET ABOUT THIS!
Did you read the other day about a certain prominent Mail Ordei
merchant who was fined a large round sum by Onele Sam fordefraud
ing people through the mails? He advertised so called Vacuum
cleaner which didn't clean. The governraent brought together at
great expense a number of persons from various parts of the country,
who testified to the worthlessness of the device. It cost Uncle Sam
money, but he got it back in the.fine paid by the Mail Order merchant,
Tile worthless vacuum cleaner cost these witnesses and many otir
ers money, but they didn't get it back, and they never "ill.
Plenty of other such concerns are working other frauds upon the
public. Persons who liuy a pig in a poke can expect to get bitten.
It is no secret that the country is populous with people who have
been bitten by the Mail Order pig. '

The Iowa experiment station the past
year wintered some ewes upon differ-
ent rations, two of which are taken
in contrast to stow the value of silage.
The average feed required in tbe ease
of grain aud clover was 1.3 pounds
grain and three pounds clover daily.
When silage was added to tee above
ration the feed consumpbea per ewe
was as follows; .3 to .4 primal eaain;
2 pounds clover bay, 2,5 pounds corn
silage. This ration cost not more than
e cents. The special value of the si-
; rage was that it reduced the amount of
grain required and also increased the
1 ewe's capacity for cheap roughage.
! The 3.5 pounes silage practically re -
1 placed a peuny's worth of clover and
' grain and produced as good results,
Tha Would give silage hi this particle,
lar ease a cash value of 55.70 per ton.;
Silage actually costs but from 52 to
52.50 per ton, allowing minket price
and field profits on the corn la it, ets
addition to the ewes' ratios; is a prof- '.
/table venture.
