Excepting nee, the potato is the
most wicoly used food plant for the
I human family. It should therefore
find a p'ace on every farm. Originat
ing in America, it has been improved
, and if *3 cultivation has been increased
: at about the same rate as has been the
1 increase in population. They are now
grown in ail states of the United
Stales, but principally in the Northern
and Eastern states
Fertilizer.
Generally speaking, a fertilizer con
taining from three per cent to four
per cent nitrogen, si:; percent to eight
per cent phosphoric acid, and nine per
cent to 10 per cent of potash will give
good result ;, the kind and amount to
apply depending upon the kind ot
soli and the natural fertility. If the
soil is clayey It will require less pot
ash than the sandy types.
naming.
Potatoes should be planted as early
as possible in the spring, say, from
February 20 in the southern part of
the st,.te to April 1 in the northern
part. Plant about four inches deep
in rows three feet apart, planting the
pieces one foot apart in the row.
Of the varieties best suited for Ar
kansas, Red Bliss, Early Ohio and Irish
Cobbler are possibly the best early va
rieties, while Rural New Yorker No.
2, Carn-.en No. 3 and Sir Walter Ra
leigh are the best late varieties. There
is no one variety that is best for ali
soils under all circumstances.
Cultivation.
Cultivation should begin as early as
possible after the plants begin to ap
pear, and should continue at intervals
of ten days to two weeks. Do not use
plows that run deep into the soil, but
rather one that has a number of small
teeth to pulverize and loosen the soil
to a depth of from 21/£ to 3 inches.
The object of cultivation is to keep
down weeds and to conserve the soil
i moisture, therefore cultivation should
be done as early as possible after a
rain even if the ground had been
plowed the day before.

BURN INFECTIOUS MATERIAL
Way Diseases That Kill Cattle, Hogs
and Poultry Are Stopped.
During the course of a year it is
•usually necessary to dispose of many
dead animals on the average farm.
Especially is this true on a poultry
and stock farm. There is always
more or less loss among poultry and
hogs, and an occasional loss among
cattle and horses, besides trimmings
and offals from birds and animals
that are being dressetl for table use.
Many times this material is simply
removed some distance from the
buildings and there allowed to decay.
If the material contains anything of
an infectious nature, such as tuber
culosis, hog cholera, chicken cholera
i "• ..- " i ii
Example of good sanitation,
and other germs, it is soon carried
to all barn lots in the neighborhood
by such agents as crows, dogs, etc.
Rains are an agency for the spread
of infectious diseases. They wash
polluted material into wells, contain*-,
nating water used for household pur
poses. Continued loss of flocks and
herds is often due to carelessness in
disposing of the dead animals. All
.such material should be burned at
.V' .
* e, as it not only mils the infec
; t ion, but prevents a spread of dis
| ease. v
I A furnace for burning the carcasses
ol' small animals, such as hogs, chick
ens and others, can be constructed
very easily with brick or stone. Foi
burning' larger animals two ditches
should be dug in the shape of a cross
c.o the fire will always have sufficienl
draught. Much difficulty is often ex
perienced in burning large carcasses
because the fuel is placed around and
i ever the carcass, when it should be
placed directly under it.

lo another in probably the surest way
, carrying the disease. However,
when hogs that die of cholera are al
; lowed to lie in the open and decay,
; birds, dogs or any animal that comes
in contact with them can very easily
carry the disease to the surrounding
country.
Crows and birds that carry the in
fection on their feet can easily visit
doaeais of feeding lots in a day, thus
infecting the healthy herds. Dogs
Quite frequently carry the infection by
running through different pens. Ey
| merely walking through Infected pens
or handling infected hogs, may may
spread the disease to herds that have
not been infected before.
Sometimes the farmer is at loss to
know how his hogs became Infected
when all the hogs in the immediate
vicinity are healthy. This can usually
be explained by one of the factors pre

GOOJ? BED FOR TUBERS A MOST
IMPORTANT FACTOR IN SWEET
POTATO CULTURE AMD SHOULD
BE CAREFULLY SELECTED.
_
The usual method of propagating
the sweet potato is by means of
sprouts or "slips” which are obtained
by placing the seed potato under pro
per growing conditions, namely the re
quired amount of heat and moisture.
The most common sense method of
producing heat i3 by a manure heated
hot bed.
When malting a bed select a well
drained place with a south slope and
j well protected on the north side. If
possible build a plank frame three feet
wide and as long as desired to get
the required amount of space, making
; the north side a few inches higher
j than the south side. Throw up a lit- j
..II a*.-. -— • •TlTHMIIYIIf—11
Truck garden with hit bed. ^
tie dirt against the outside wall to pro
vide drainage so that water will not i
collect there. Inside the frame exca
vate to a depth of about eight inches.
Then begin by placing a thin layer of
light material such as straw, leaves or
pine needles. On this place a layer of
from six to ten inches (the thickness
of the layer depending upon the cii- •
mate, season and amount of forcing
desired) of fresh horse manure. Mois- 1
ten, level and pack well. Then place j
a layer of sand or light soil from two
tc three inches deep.
Tlio temperature may run high for
a day or two. In that case the pota
toes should not be placed until the
temperature is about SO or 85 degrees
Fahrenheit. Then Jiie roots are to be
bedded, placing them so that they do
not touch each otiier. Cover with sand
or light soil so that the tops of the
potatoes are Vs inches under the sur
‘ ace. Aid to have the top of the bed
tome above the love! of the soil on '
the outside of the frame. The bed
;iiould be kept moist but not wet, and
1 he temperature will have to be watch
ed for a while. The temperature may
be allowed to run up to 85 or 90 de- j
Trees Fahrenheit for a few days, but
it should be kept as near 80-85 de
grees, and it will gradually fall to
about 09 degrees Fahrenheit at plant
ing time.
A cover for the frame can be made
of glass sash or a muslin frame if it
desirable to force more rapidly. Glass
sasli while more expensive r.t the out- 1
set. can be used for many purposes
a:nl for a period of several years, •
while tlie muslin or cloth will have to
be renewed every year.
If in no great hurry for the slips,
beds can be made out doors with ar
tificial heat. The beds are made by
plowing a back furrow aboi*t four or
five feet wide.
The plants can be hurried some by
plowing under a rayer of manure.
