If We? srSirSSSa&P; IMPTfA 4T . - v si' . rf a r' vsr , IJJI' ife THE FARM. Tho sweet potato is cultivated as far north as New Jersoy, and as a garden crop in latitudes considera bly higher. A monogram on its culture and uses has just been issued in Farmors' Bulletin No. 2G, by the Department of Agiiculturc, giving much interesting information concerning this inomber of tho moraing glory family, which is not only curious, but very practical and useful as well. Tho sweet potato may be grown either from seed, from sets or from vino cuttings. Seed rarely matures in this country except in hot houses, and propagation by vino cutting, while a more prolific method than any other, can be adopted onty in tho Gulf states, owing to climatic reasons. Tho northern and westorn sweet potatoes are grown from sets, produced by placing tho seed tubers, which are usually cut in two length wise, in specially prepared seed beds, with bottom heat. Bottom heat is readily pioduced by tho uso of horse manure, very much as hot beds aro made, and the growing of tho sets is conducted in a very similar way, except that tho seed bed is not always under glass,a covering of litter, straw or pine needles often being given. Tho potatoes when laid in the seed bed aro covered to a depth of from ono to three inches, with sand, fine soil, or earth from the wood?, and when tho sets grow to a length of from three to fivo inches above the ground, they aro ready for transplanting. The bedding should bo dono fivo or six weeks before it is expected to transplant tho sets. Tho best time for transplanting in Arizona is from May 20th 'to tho middlo of June for tho main crop, although for very early potatoes from tho 1st to tho 25th of May somo transplanting is done. Tho length of time to mako tho crop is usually placed at ninety days Tho best soil is a warm, sandy, well drained and somewhat dry soil, and light loams aro also suitable. Planting is usually done in rows throo and a half feet apart, with eighteen inches botween the plants. When grown in checks tho distanco is usuaily thirty by thirty inches. Tho early-dug potatoes for immediato marketing aro fit for consumption at any time; thoy do pot need to mature. T3ut for kcoping the following rulo is given: Break several potatoes and expose tho broken ends to tho air for somo time. If sufficiently matured to keep well, the original color is maintained; if unripo, tho broken surface assumes a dark or greonish appearance. Sweet pota toes ai'o best kept by maintaining a tempera turo of degrees for a week or two after digging, and then lowering the temperature, keeping it through tho winter at lrom fifty to sixty degrees, tho atmosphere of the room to bo kept dry. Besides tho ordinary uses of the sweet potato as a 'vegetable, thcro is now a considerable quantity of tho tubers used canning factories, and thoy aro also largely used for stock feed. Thoso of our readers who aro interested in tho of sweet potatoes, whether as a farm or garden crop, will do well to write to tho Department at Washington, and securo a copy of Farmers Bullotin No. 2G. Wo are under obligations to Hon. Henry E. Dosch,of Hillsdalo Oregon, for a copy of tho third biennial report of tho State Board of Agriculture, in which wo find much to porsuado us of tho advanced position Oregon is likely to take in this department. Among tho papers which form its appendix is on "Dynamiting tho soil." Tho uso of dynamite is dcclaired to have passed the experimental stage, and is now employed extensively in many parts of the country. What is known as tho 30 per cent, grade is empoyed unless tho land be rocky, in which caso from one and a half to two sticks are used as a charge. To proparo'tho ground, a crowbar or two-inch auger with a shaft is used, and a holo is made in tho ground six foot deep. Into this put tho stick of dynamite with a fuse attached, and dry sand is poured into tho holo until il is full. If sand can not bo obtained, othor soil may be used if tamped sufficiently hard. The concussion of tho explosion loosens the ground somo distanco below tho bottom of tho hole, and for many feet on both sides of it. There is littlo or no danger from tho explosion, as the ground only heaves slightly, and littlo or no earth is thrown into tho air. Tho ground however, is shaken fifteen to thirty feet on all sides. After the dynamite has exploded, a holo is dug sufflccntly largo to rcceivo tho tree, and tho filled with surface mold, together with some fertilizer that will aid the growth of tho treo and also assist in holding the moisture about tho roots. Tho water from tho rains or tho irrigating ditch will go down as far as tho dynamite has loosened tho earth, and will be retained there until used by tho tree roots or until it comes to tho surface and evaporates. Tho surface evaporation may be held in check by a thorough cultivation of tho soil. The direct results of this method are said to bo larger and mora even fruit and earlier ripening. Tho water settle around tho trunk of tho treo in the spring time, in compact soil, as, the uro is spread all through the ground and is fed to tho tree more evenly and for a longer period. It is advised for pit fruits which aro injured or killed by water settling around the trunks. Those who have practiced the plan report that such trees as apples, prunes, plums, peaches and pears gain in growth from ono to three years, and Ihc bearing of the trees is also correspondingly earlier. Thus it is possiblo to get tho trees that frequently do not bear until six or I eight years old into bearing when thoy aro four, live, or six years, and without injury to them, as the' are as largo and strong as they would be at eight years if they were not assisted in this Live Stock Indicator. -- YOU WILL UKAP.

Smytho, chairman of tho National irrigation committee and who has made tho relief of tho middle class of humanity a study adc a speech in Chicago multitude of nof subject of ment. Tho issue, tho American people to-day making of now homes on agricul tural" lands. In reality it is the creation of a now civilisation. In brief, ho explained tho Carey law, by which fivo of the Western States have set aside 1,000,000 acres of arid land each for tho purpose of irrigation and cultivation. These lands aro to be disposed of at low rates, and every inducement is offered those who aro willing to endure tho brunt of hard work for a few years. In irrigation, Mr. Smytho said, lies tho hopo of making these lands valuable, and it is the intention to establish colonics. Thoso who go from Chicago in the first colony will compose tho colony of Plymouth in tho Payette valloy, Idaho, and tho start will bo made in August. Continueing, Mr. Smytho said: "The recent labor troubles have given thoughtful men an insight into tho conditions in which tho middlo classes are living. There is no more startling proof of tho slow descent of tho 'middle classes than tho statistics showing that over 70 per cent, of the American people aro mere tenants of the land they occupy ,a less percentage than any foreign country except Great Britain. Wo havo reached a period of stagnation our early policy of continental conquest has been abandoned. East of a north and south lino through tho center of Kansas thcro aro G4,000,000 people, west of it 4,000,000. "For many reasons Brigham Young deserves to bo ranked among tho greatest of Americans. Ho founded a great commonwelth rather than a church .Irrigation was with him a discovery, and ho grasped its possibilities. Ho saw it was practically an insurance policy on crops, and made possible tho raising on a single farm of nearly everything a family needs. Ho founded a slate on industrialism, organized with tho best preventive of city congestion-the farm village. Tho Mormons havo taken 8502,900,000 out of then; soil, with an annual income for each of 10,000 farms of ?1, 355. Mr. Smytho made comparisons between tho Mormons aud the peo plo of Pullman. Tho former were landed proprietors, with increased values accruing to them, and evory man a participator in the banking system. The latter wero hopeless tenants, employees, and compulsory patrons of corporation banks and stores. Mr. Smytho said 3500 dollars capitol would take a family to tho West, pay for tho irrigation of forty acres and sustain them until tho first crop. If families had no money thoy might mortgage the lands in advance, and an effort was being mado to secure funds for this purpose. The Rov. Carwardine of Pullman mado an appeal for help for tho soventj' Pullman families who to get away. Their plan was to go South ho said. M. H. Madden of tho typographical union also spoke.

In Switzerland a good voice is a qualification sought in milk maids, a pleasing melody increasing the cow's yield of milk one-fifth. TnE late Sir Bernard Burke is reported to have said that over half tho crests and coats of arms borne by families in this country and England are fictitious. Coats of arms were first employed in England during the reign of Richard' 1., and became hereditary in families in the following century. They originated from the painted banners carried by knights and nobles. A new set ofpostage stamps has been issued by the Chinese customs post office to commemorate the sixtieth birthday of the empress dowager. There t are nine stamps, in place of the former three, and all bear the customs water mark on the paper. ,H ELECTRICAL BITS. The post office department is to experiment with electric lights in railway, mail ears. On December 1 there were 15,772,408 miles of electric conductors strung in the streets of Brooklyn. ,v Nine brancli offices in Cleveland, O.f are to reccivo and send their mails -by electric street cars. Tho bags (oloscd) will be carried in the space at the front end of the car partitioned off -for tho motorman. In the vicinity of Chicago the electric lines are said to .bo seriously cutting into the suburban business of the, steam railways. This is especially flicH case with tho Evanston business of tho St. Louis road, and the Illinois Central x is struggling with the electric railwaj s . running to South Chicago, Grand Cross- ing, Pullman and other South side) suburbs.
