The first requisite is t< plow the land well, turning a ver; thick furrow, and then with a two horse plow throw it un in long, iargi ridges. After that it should be pul verized and finished thoroughly, fol lowed by. marking it out in rowi about three and one-half feet apart In these the -plants, already startec in a hotbed, should be set abou eighteen iDche3 apart.

" Tf you are raising potatoes an have more culls and small ones tha jou can find use for. the foilowin; from the Tribune Farmer may giv you a valuable hint: I noticed an inquiry in your vaiua ble paper of June 1. relative to feed ing potatoes to horses. Our experi ence may be of interest to th brother wanting information. Som few years ago one of our neighbor harvested a large crop of potatoes and from some cause there was quit a percentage of small, uamerchanta . mM0m <fWPtSB ble ones, and corn and oats were , high that season. Our friend had [ lumbering to do that winter, kept four horses and fed them raw potatoes twice each day. He was careful . to wash the potatoes well, as the grit , would make the teeth and mouth of the horses sore. These teams did a good winter's work, were in excellent . order in the spring, their hair sleek and the animals very heaitiiy. We keep eight heavy horses on our farms, and each year fead them more i or less potatoes, and we are satisfied they are a pretty good food for them . tc work on. After they become ac. customed to them they will eat a peck night and morning raw, and by , , feeding oats dv corn at noon they <io well, keep healthy and are usually in good spirits for business. We have sown some seventy acres to grain, and are finishing planting about ! eighty acres of potatoes this spring. 1 Cur horses have done this work fed on potatoes night and morning, as above stated, usually raw or uncooked. Our' experience satisfies us J it is better to cook the potatoes, and wp nrft nlrmnins to do this in the future. By so doing, with the addition of a few shoots, we expect to ) have a fair feed for horses. "Practice Rotation of Crops." That a proper rotation or crops is [ essential to success in farming is evi| denced everywhere, for there is no land that is proof against depletion. Some soils hold out longer than oth| ers, but t.he ultimate end is failure | if we persist in continual cropping with one crop. We rotate, primarily, to prevent this depletion of soil fertility and if legumes figure largely, t in the rotation, considerable nitrogen, the principal and costliest plant food, is added. Then we rotate to secure a better distribution of labor and stockmen rotate to secure r. variety of feeds with the least damage to the soil. Another advantage of rotation ij the getting rid of insect and weed pests. Potatoes have several insect < pests that are peculiar to potatoes. I and if we change them to a new loca | tion, we are apt to get rid of them, or t most of them on that crop and by including other crops in the rotation ' on the infested ground we can gei l rid of them there. Different crops feed differently, and by rotating them any one partic[ ular,plant food is not exhausted, as nay be the case in single crop farm ing. some crops require more nuro| gen than other3, some more potash and some more phosphates. I have heard the expression "That land will not grow tobacco, because it has been in it so much." Yes, but I proved - when I rented it that it would pro' duce a good crop of corn and other > things in the way of feeds, so I pro ceeded to rotate and feed stock. It is probably in the tobacco dis' tricts that the worst effect of lack of rotation and diversified farming is found. Tobacco is very hard on > land, and it needs a rest more than . any other crop. It requires a very > strong soy, and the tendency is to crop a field that is found to produce t a fine crop of tobacco too much. We l find many instances where such land i has been in tobacco until it is worn r out, at least as far as that crop is ' concerned, and greatly depleted in the elements of fertility for other > crops.?E. W. Jones, of Kentucky. Farm and Garden Notes. * * A sheep, like clover, enriches the 1 ground that grows it. Do not feed the sheep too much | corn, especially the breeding ewes. Dry soil is one of th& first requisites for successful sheep farming. Sheep have excellent digestion, and 1 hence they utilize feed to the fullest r degree. i One of the very best feeds for t ewes with lambs is oats and wheat - bran mixed. ? Keep the floor of the sheep quar' ter3 dry, and to this end use plenty 1 of bedding. } Sow parsnips and satisfy now for next winter's use. They require the entire season to develop. a "When bringing oieanaers but of . the cellar, cut them back a little be. fore they start into growth, s Growing chickens should be fed . three times a day, just what they 1 will eat up clean, 110 more. t The object of caponizing is to imf prove the quality and increase the 1 Quantity of the flesh oi fowls.

When the child was placed at a .';j9 telephone in the office of MayorWeaver and told to talk to his ,4 mother it seemed as if every man '-TM .here, including the Mayor, police offl- Vj cials and men accustomed to scenes of heartbreaking interest, would never recover from the_tense excitem9nt '1 s of the occasion.
