OF INTEREST T0 THE FARMER Remarkable Experience of a New Yorker in Potato Raiaing. DOES THE COW NEED EXERCISE? Bome Snefgestions Avout Stamping Out Potato Rot—Distributing Manure in the Winter—fAran for Winter Feeding Curions Potato esnits, A Seaford (Del.) correspondert of the Rural New Yorker writes: As the sub- ject of potato-growing is one of iner ing interest, 1 desire togive alittle of my experience this summer, What I am about to ate weuld seem to be almost iucredible, but proof will be given to any doubter whomuy desire it. On my farm, which is five miles west of Seaford, Del., 1 had an old strawberry bed 100 yards long by forty wid had grown up thickly with clove grass. Lengthwise ran ubout east and west, Atthe extrems west end is o large and w preading apple tree, from under which we gachered this fall twenty-two peach baskets full of apples. About the beginning of the third week in June, this piece of ground was plowed toa depth of five inches, a drag chain having been used on the plow to pull under the clover ahd high grass. In the bottom of eacn third farrow cut po- tatoes of the Mummoth Pearl v ety were dropped. The pieces contained from one to three eyes each. The sod was furrowed down dircctly on the picees. No manure or fertilizor of any kind was used. About one-third this patch was so much under water this summer that the eld wos nothing. This part was ut the end of the path op- posite to the apple tree. The middle got but little cultivation, and immediately under the tree none at all, as that part, though planted to within ten feet of the tree, was vsed as a play-ground. and as pasture for a caif, The vinesof the po- tatoes were either eaten oft or other- wise destroyed. At the latter part of the last week in September, the pota- toes were plowed out. And now for the results: We got a very few small tu- bers from the middle of the patch up to within thirty feet of the tre From this point up to the tree they pidly incrensed in size until we got right under the tree within ten feet of the trunk. Right here where the ground was trodden down, and so hard that it was very difficult to turn it up with a two-horse plow, and the clods of dirt had to be broken open to get the pota- toes out, w st and finest crop that I have ever scen rai To the soutl ot the tree, and only hort dis- tance from it, stands the home, so that the potatoes on the north side of the tree were almost constantly shaded. but just there, close under the tree, where the ground was the hardest, the pota- toes were the finest, and right around and under the tree we gathered up twenty-one baskets, and all but the con- tents of one hasket were extra large and perfectly smooth Exercise ows, The question of e ise for cows is receiving some attention with that of soiling. [t appears that for years Prof. Daniels, of the Western university, has kept a cow standing in the stable trom November to May without apparent de- triment. The Hollanders put up their cows in the fall and they do not leave the stable until the grass comes. They do not appear to need much exercise beyond chewing the cud, standing around, getting upand lying down. But the Hollanders keep “the stables scrupulously clean. Cows must have sweet, wholesome air, and it is be- lieved by good judges that sunlight, or at least full daylight, is essenti: few hours in a'clenn yard is no back, to say the leas for Stamping Out Potato ftot. Now that the season is over it is not out of place to call attention to the fact that if the disease is to be prevented next year something must be done with the refuse (stems, decayed tubers, ete.), and not allow it to be carried over through the winter, says the Philadel- vhia Record. The Maine agricultural experiment station has been av work in the endeavor to enlighten the farmers in regard to this® disease, but remedies during the growing season may be too late, and in order to avoid the difficulty all ‘tops, leaves and decaying tubers should be burnt in order to (thlll)\ the spores. Do not throw them on the compost heap, as the manure will only spread the disesse another season. It is known that the fungus lives over the winter in the form of spores in the stems, leaves and tube retaining their vitality and attacking the sue- coeding crop. In this condition of rest during winter the spores ave known us oosporee, Being deep-seated in the soil when the refuse is turned under, it soon makes it presenco known after the erop is well under way. Tn the summer and fall it appears us a white mildew, which, on examination, is found to bo composed of branching pedicils, known as conidiophores, hearing minute, white oblong bodies, which are the summer spores of the fungus, known as conidin. These spores nve carried by the winds to other fiolds, thus spreading the disense. During the summer new winter spores ave formed ithin the stems, leaves and tubers and ave then ready for disseminating the disease the next season. As tho parasité is internal and only appears at the surface while producing summer spoves, the methods must be preventive rather than imwediately remedial. 'Che object should be to check the growth of the summer spores, which prevents the spread of the dis- ease by distribution through the agency n{ the atmosphere. To do this the vines hould be sprayed as soon as the whitish mildew appenrs or the leaves begin to blacken Willl any of the following solu- tions, which have been tried in France wilh beneficial results: No. 1. Mix 1 quart of ammonia water with 8 ounces of carbonate of copper Stir rapidly until a clear liquid is pro- duced, mne, dilute to 22 gallons with Dissolve a pomul of sulphate of copper (bluestone) in 2 gullons of hot water. When cold add 13 pints am- monia water, and dilute to 22 gallons with water, No. 8. Dissolve 6 pounds s\llnhllll! of copper in 16 gallons of -water 4 pounds of fresh lime into 6 gallons of water, When cold mix the two solu- tions, slowly and thorougly. Apply with a spraying uppuu\luu or force pump, Be careful to burn all re- fuse now. ~Select sced next season from localities in which the disease has not appeared. Rotate by not planting potatoes on the same field twice in suc- cession. Examine the bins ca ofully, and remove all infected specimens, Cut the seed loug enough before plunting to allow the surface to dry. Let all the farmers in each neighborhood unite to preveut the spread of disease. Hauling Out Manure, During the fall and winter is the best THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY. time for securing manure because the stock are under shelter a good portion of the time, and with plenty of bedding to act as an absorbent a considerable growth can be laid by, proportioned of course to the number of stock that are kent. During the winter there is more time for hauling out and distributing than at any other timo without interfering with the other work, says a contributor of the St. Louis Republic, There is alway more less lund that can be ploughed to advantage in the fall for spring planting, and lund that is ploughed is in much better condition to receive mant than if left undisturbed. While in some cuses it may be profitable to pile up the manure to rot ln»(urvlululim:ll\l:. veton the average farm, king the k and tho benefits all into considera- tion, the best plan is to haul out the manure whe r there is enough for a load and there is time to do the work. With the soil ploughed more of the sol- uble portions will be taken up and held, and the loss either by evaporation or leaching will be less than if the manure is applied on unploughed lanc on where the manure is cavefully piled up and rotted before it is hauled out, there is always more or less waste by evipora- uon or iing, and on ploughed land the loss by leaching is very small, as the toluble part is so readily taken up by the soil. en when the ground is frozen or covered with snow, manure bauled out and spread with When there is enough snow u sled be used to haul, making the work of loading and unloading somewhat casi On many farms too little ear to make, save and spread all the that could besaved with a little better management. And yet a rich soil is one of the essentinls of a good crop. And while it is not casy work to haul out a considerable quantity of manure, still by planning to do this at times when it will least interfere with the other farm duties the cost will be con- siderably iess. Another advantage in hauling out the manure in winter is that it isso much done to ¢ lessening the work in the spring, and the crops will be able to der ereater benefit than if the hauling out 15 de. pring is less labor to distri the wagon than to throw in pil scatter afterward hard can be ofit. Midwinter Apples, Too manv growers make oo great a point, I think, of long keeping in an apple, s Orchard and Gardiner. Of course there 1s a demand for long keep- ers, s well as a profit in growing them —if they can be grown to perfection, and the grower has the facilities to hold them in good order until the mar- ket becomes bare in the spring. But there is a great deal of work and some risk in handling this class of apples, and only a_skillful specialist is ablo to anake anything extra out of them. Lat- by reason of cheap transportation, the necessity of long keeping apples is somewhat abridged, and I am of the opinion that more attention should be given by planters to what generally known “as midwinter appies, many of which, however, can by cold storage be kept in good order until A pril-or May. These midwinter apples ave, as a clas »upcnm- dessert quality tothe hm;,u keeping sorts, and also in beauty. In England much is thought of the deco- rative value of fruits, and us wealth m- creases, o beautiful apple of fine de: quality. keeping into and through hb- ruary, is going to be more and more called for. But to have them profitable they must be carefully grown and han- dled. If these points ‘are attended to as they should be., no grower need fail of a satisfactory market., Bran for Winter Feeding. The principal advantage in bran during the winter is sens the quantity of grain necessary to keep the stock in good condition and makes the hay, straw and corn fodder a more complete food, writes a contrib- utor to th'e St. Louis Republic. It can be used to better advantage if the coarser food is cut before mixing, and if the straw, hay or fodder is first run through a cutting box and the bran 1s mixed with it before feeding, the stock will eat up eclean, avoiding waste, be- sides getting a much better feed, ther bran, corn fodder, straw nor s a complete food in iLwH, but by them the different elements of nutrition are furnished more fully, 50 that nearly all kinds of stock o nn, if well fed upon this diet, be kept in n good thr 1fty condition und at a less cost than by using grain instead of bran, Be- sides being n good feed for stock it adds nearly or quite its value to the manure heap. Somuch so that when it is an item 10 get ail the munure possible bran cun be used witn profit. using that it les: FLOWERS AS FDOD Certain Kinds Which Are Nutritious and Ave Katen with Relish, The utilitarian’s favorite question is, “What good are flowers?”” and most peo- ple can only reply that they are good to look at .md smell, But of late years we have seen roses and violets made into confections, and now we hear ' from the botanical director for northern India that the natives use the flowers of cal- ligenum, u species of buckwheat. The use of flowors, such as those of the lity in China, as a condiment, is not un- common, but it is quite unusual to find them used as food. In the present case they are either mixed with flour or are eaten soparately with salt apd condi- ments, to which a little ghee’is added by those who are able to afford it. The flowers are swept up from the ground, and are kept for a night in a carthenware vessel, so as to fade, They muy be Kept for a Imw time, Usuallly they are eaten as a vwml.lhln but some- times they are kneaded with thin alta ard baked into cakes, An analysis of the flo: theiv chiof poculiarity, from a dictetio voint of view, is their richness in nitro- genous compounds, and consequently their i importance as an addition to foods \\Illl.]l are poor in nitrogen.
