FARM NOTES.
I Edited by John C. Edgar, Duval, to whom all
communications lor this coiumn should be ad
dressed.
Agricultural Editor Statesman:
I his is the season lor moral reflec
tions and the formation of good resolu
tione; a time when moral courage is
severely tried and sometimes found
wanting. Yen and no are two simple
little words, but the smaller one is
often hard to articulate, even after
"swearing off."
It is, however, well to keep up the
good old practice of starting the new
year with good resolutions, even with
the certainty that they will not sur
vive to celebrate an anniversary. The
mental and physical effort involved,
even in a failure, will be productive ot
some good. This is strictly applicable
to the farmer. His occupation sup
plies him with many chances for turn
ing a new leaf."
Few of us have reached that stand
ard of excellence iu (arm management,
beyond which there is no iruproe
ment. A thoughtful review of the
operations of the past year cannot fail
to disclose many errors of omission
and commission, capable of remedy.
Make a good resolution and put
manhood to a test. The best resolu
tions are someUuiea beyond the power
or mortals to Keep, as when unavoid
able sickness and rrovidencial hinder
ances intervene; out truth compels
the assertion that the failure of most
good resolves id cuiefly owing to a
wean moral nature.
It would be good idea to
resolve that rinir, is a grievous
burden, and that "pay as you go"
Is a good motto for the future. - That

Potato Flour.
A Frenchman has invented a plan
for making what is really potato flour.
The potatoes are grated and then
pressed as are apples in cider mak
ing. The pressed pulp is then brok
en into small pieces and carefully
dried by a peculiar process. The re
sulting substance is known as torre
fied pulp. It can be used for animal
or human food by simply adding
boiling water to it. It can also be
ground and bolted like ordinary flour.
In this form, mixed in varying propor
tions with wheat or rye flour, it can
be baked into bread, which is found to
be very digestible and nutritious as
well as cheaper than bread from cer
eals alone.
This potato flour Is different from
pure starch, being more digestible
and of better texture.
When we consider the immense
weight of potatoes that may be grown
on an acre, as compared with wheat,
we realize now this torrefied pulp will
add to the possibilities of the world's
food production. Previous efforts to
make flour out of potatoes have failed
largely because it was attempted to
drive out the water by evaporation.
In this process most of it is squeezed
out by mechanical means, which per
mits more perfect drying of what is
left. By means af the new process the
edible portions of potatoes can be kept
for years instead of mouths, as iu the
complete tuber.
A Grand Old Sirs.
The old aud famous trotting sire
Dictator will soon be 30 years old. He
is looking better than he did this time
last year, and bis owner, H. C. Mo-
Dowell of Lexington thinks the
chances are good for the old fellow
living through the coming winter.
He is fed on molasses aud meal, with
some nice, clean blade fodder to pick.
An attempt whs made the other day
to induce him to eat sorghum molasses
but the aristocratic old orother of the
great Dexter would not toucn it. He
eatsnothingb ttha best golden syrup.
Dictator was an old horse when Major
McDoweli gave $25,000 for him. but he
has earned in stud tees and produce
over f 1--.0.000 for his owner .Being
tne sire ot tne wonderful Jay Eye Bee
and the grandsire of Nancy Hanks,
Directum and Direct, besides the
projector of hundreds of other fast
horses, Dictator will always hold a
high place in trotting horse circles.
Hay, Poison for Hones.
Most horsemen are under the im
pression that a horse cannot eat too
much good hay, but the practical
farmer says this is an irror and that
t jo much hay is as fatal to a horse as
too much grain. At haying time the
be't put in the horse barn for these
animals. As they do little or no work
iu the winter, the grain ration is us
ually omitted, but care is taken to
keep their racks and mangers stuffed
with expensive hay.
A horse that is a good feeder con
sumes m ro tbau is for his welfare,
which makes him "pot-bellied."
When takeu out for a drive tie
stomach, which is small compared
with 8tomchs of other animals. I so
crowded with hay that he makes a
sorry figure iu his attempt to travel
if driven faster than a walk. Look
ing back I now see whe e I have
ruined three valuable horses by un
wise feediug of hay, Always driving
at.d caring for the animals myself,
every paius was taken to guard
against overrenting, overfeeding of
grain and watering when too warm;
yet everyone of them became hope
lessly foundered and useless, and I
attributed It entirely to overfeeding
them with timothy hay. Had they

hay they will eat as to give them free
access to a bin of grain. It may not
hurt as quickly, but it does so just as
surely.
Lintless Cotton.
Prof. W. F. Massey of the North
Carolina experiment station writes
that the man who expects to make
his land rich by growing lintless cot
ton will surely be disappointed.
Even if the extravagant claim that
it will make 200 bushels of seed per
acre were true, this 200 bushels would
represent a great exhaustion of phos
phates, potash aud nitrogen from the
soil, aud these must bejiu the soil be
fore the cotton plant can get them,
for it is not a nitrogen accumulating
plant and the only addition the
soil would get would be a little
organic matter taken from the air by
the assimilative action of the leaves,
as all plauts do. Better stick to Held
prase and clover.
When Doctors Differ Who 8hall Decidel
The discoveries made by scientific
investigators have led common peo
ple to place considerable faith in any
thing that comes in the name of sci
ence. But much that is labelled "sci
ence," falls short of filling the bill.
Science has been defined as "certainly
grounded on demonstration." But
we find scientists laying down, as
well proven facts, rules and deduc
tions that are iu direct opposition to
each other. In such cases one so
called "scientific fact" mut be a
fraud, and often both of them. Quack
ery is not confined to the medical pro
fession. Quacks and empirics are
found in every profession aud occupa
tion, ana it otteu requires caretul dis
crimination to determine the true
from the false.
This statement is illustrated in a
controversy now in progress between
Professor Massey aud Jeff Welboru
Mr. Massey is admitted to be one of
the ablest and most practial professors
of agriculture in the country, and has
ueoteu a long me to the search lor
truth in the vegetable world, while
Mr. Wilborn has establi-hed a rep
utation for pet cotton and shoe-peg
corn, and is one of the best known
writers on the chemistry of
the soil, and natural laws in
their relation to agriculture,
Mr. Massey. like most other sciencirlc
agriculturalists, says that leaves ot
plants are just so many mouths
through which the plants breath and
absorb food from the atmosphere.
Mr. vve coru taKes exception to this
and affirms that all plant food must
come trom the soil through the roots
and be distributed by the sap. In a
recent issue ot Home and Barm, Mr.
Welborn enters into a long argument
in support of his "science," aud illus
trates his position by the action of
blisters on the human body nd the
flame on a lamp wick. He say: "The
sun's heat, by its evaporation, draws
the water from the soil through ' the
roots and pores in the plant.
Now, if I see it this way, i. e,
that heat on any part of
the skin will draw the water and
blood with poisonous carbonic gases
from within to the surface and the
lamp is emptied by the fire at the up
per end of the wick of its (carbon) ol,
aud that even the coarser, heavier ass
elements of the plant are by heat of
the sun lifted from the soil. How can
I believe Professor Massey's leaf-feeding
theory when I see my soil grow
rich frou ha e of any and every kind,
and see this same land become poor,
harsh and tough from removing the
shade and exposing the surface to the
euny Even the removing ot the corn
and cotton stalks causes tbe land to
plow much tougher and break up in
hard clods, but where stalks are left
standing until the plow starts the same
land will plow mellow and pulveriae
quickly. When I protect my land
from the sun's beat it rapidly accumu
lates nitrogen and carbonic gasses.
When I expose it to the sun's heat it
surely loses them. And when hun
dreds of experiments prove that it is
the shade alone, and not in the roots of
tbe plant that enriches my land, how
can I accept Professor Massey's ethi
cal hobby of the Dodules?" When
such eminent doctors differ so widely,
wno snail decide;
