IvMt Potato Culture Cars In Selecting Sssd Jsrsey Cattle for Beef Farm Jlotei Tsmiiy Keceipi and Other Wholesome Ideal For the Home. Freight aud Fermcn. Chicago Times: Id a book recently published, Profs. Junks and Ely pre sent very elaborate and careful esti mates of the cost of hauling freight in wagons on country roads. The gen eral result of these estimates is pre sented in the brief but pregnant state ment that at present the average cost of hauling loo bushels of grain one mile Is sixty coots, in other words, sixty cunts is the cost of hauling three tons one mile. If there is no mistake in the ettimute, it is something for the farmer to thiuk about. The averase cost of hauling 100 bunhels of wheat one mile by rail is aid to be one-third of a cent. From these Htatoments taken together, it ap pears mat it costs lo times as much to haul a given quantity of wheat from the farm to the railroad station as it does to haul it the same distance by rail. To stkte it in another way, it costs as much to haul a crop of wheat a distance of ton miles from the farm to the station as it dons to haul the same crop 1,800 miles from the station to market. The average distance from the farm to the station may not be ten miles. Suppose it to be half that distance, or five miles. It is then to be snid that the average haul by rail to market is not 1,800 miles, but leas than half that distance, lbe con elusion remains that it costs fully as much to haul the crop to the e tut ion as it does to hitul it from the station to the market The lesson which the farmer has to learn from all this is obvious. His worst enemy, so far as transportation is concerned, is not the railroad, but the wagon road. And what he most needs to do is, not to make war against the railroad compiuiea, but to set about the busii.ojH of cheapening transportation from the farm to the railway. It is right and proper of eotirtw), to resist extortion where it is practiced by railway and elevator companies, but the farmer should not permit hlmsell to become so much ab sorbed In that business as to neglect the business, where there is an incom parably moro promising field for econ omy. A bushel of wheat is hauled by rail 1,0(10 milos for five cents. That is pretty cheap, und tho farmer cannot ipect much cheaper railway service very soon. It costs him five cents to haul the bushel about eight miles by wagon. If the cost of the wagon-haul were reduced to one cent per bushel, it would still bo thirty-six times tho cost of the haul by rail fur the same distance, and the farmer would be ahead four enntx a bushel, or about f '21 on the average crop of wheat har vested from forty acres of land. Here Is the place for economy. Care in bowing Seed. The Importance of ca.-e in the pre paration of the soU is sadly underrutod. C L. Allen of Lor.g Island, N. V., writes in Garden end Forest as fol lows: "This care Is usually given in proportion to the cost of the seed, that is, a novelty of high price receives dun attention, and for this reason, rather t!mu for any real superiority, it may excel older soi t-i. The mnr ket gaiueners of Long Island as a rulo buy their cabbage seed of a neighbor who has a reputation for a choice var iety, sometimes fur superior, ho thinks, to anything to be obtained at a seed house. Maikct gardeners pay from V1 to 15 per pound for the! seed, when equally good seed could be bought at a reliable house for But the fiftonn-dollnr seed is the cheapest tor the gardener in the end, because he sows thinly in soil prepared with the greatest care. 'The result is that most of the seed germinates, the plants have sufficient room for development, they do not get leggy," but are strong and stocky, and in tho finely pulveri.cd but well compacU'd soil they arejwoll furnished with roots. lien these plants are set in the field they do not suffer from the change; their vigor pushes them ahead, they are quickly established, and yield a largo proportion of well developed heads. Low-priced seed, purchased by the same gardener, would have been sown more thickly in loose and coarse soils, where the plants would have been long-drawn, poorly rooted and without vigor when transplanted. The product from such a beginning will be late, small and of inferior quality . This is not an imag inary casts.. I have seen seed from the same stock give the best satisfaction, and In other cases none at a'.l. The sole reason for these opposlto results was that In one instance the seed was sown properly and improperly in ethers. I have more than once noted xperienres of precisely this character among the growers of cauliflower in Suffolk county." -Irse)r Cattle for Bflt in some recer.i experiments by the Michigan Agricultural College, the uprising result was found that the Jersey boef, though costing more per pound to fatten, was enough better so that for those who appreciate the dif ference between good beef and poor it would pay to fatten it This is con trary to tho common impression among farmers. The small size of Jersey cat Ma Iihs turned attention from this breed for the butcher, but it had in these experiments a smaller percent age of waste meat than any other, and was especially fine flavored in parts. These experiments have not been tried far enough yet to be conclusive. In dividual peculiarities of farm have much to do with the amount of waste la animals, and the flavor of meat is, as every one knows. greatly dependent upon what the animal has been fed. Brtawtna; Pweat Potato la the North. The first and most important step is the selection of the soil, for while sweet potatoes can bo grown on almost any kiad of land where drainage is good, yet soil in which sand predominates is Very much the best. Lund should be used which drains to the south or south-east, and on which the water will not rein.ua on the sur face after rains. Kldges at lnast a foot high are nec essary, and they enn bo made iu tho small garden or field by puiiing the earth together with a hoc, care being taken that all trash or weeds and grass are burned beneath the surface; for these have a tendency to dry out the ridge If they protrude from the sides. Vbere the plot of ground planted is long enough to use a team and plow, the ridges are easily made by throwing ut one furrow l the depth of four to six Inches, and returning with the plow, the same sell is thrown back into the trench thus made. Now turn and go back on the other side of the partly formed ridgo. making tho furrow just wide enough to make a pointed ridge. If, however, tho last two furrows do ot meet, or if the sides of the ridge are rough or full of clods, use a hoo to saiooth and even it up. and to make it as high as desired. When the seasons are short, and es pecially if the soil is heavy, well rotted Stable manure can be mixed with the Mil in the ridges with good results, as H lightens the soil and warms it and pushes Lbe plant to maturity. The ridges are usually three to four fset apart, asa the plants one to two feet apart on tho ridge; the Jersey the former, and the Belinda and f ioideq Queen the latter distance. Plant should not be put out until the wcathei Is warm, so there will bo no check iu their growth. The best time to set plants is immediately after a rain, bul they may be set in very dry weather by making a hole in the ground with a suck, and after dropping in the plant, I pour in a pint of water, and. as it set- the plant; but in every case the wet soil should be covered with loose and dry dirt, as it wcuid bake if left expo. d to the sun. Very little cultivation is required Just enough to keep down the weeds until the plants cover the ground, when they will take care of themselves. If the vines of the Jersey meet and seed runners Into the soil they should be lifted enough to break the small roots thus formed and confine the growth to tb tubers in the ridge. This is all that Is needed until digging time when they may be taken out with a hoe, spade or plow. It is not generally known that the earlier and not wholly ripened potatoes may be much sweeter by lay ing them in the sun for a few days after ligging. Vitality or Clover deed. Many farmers do not like to use two-year-old clover seed. It is usually lighter in color than that which is fresh, but if kept in a dry, even tem perature it will grow as well as any. In fact, it often stays in the ground without injury when buried too deep for germination. There need be no hesitation in buying clover seed known not to be over two years old. After that age It is probably all right, but hud better be subjected to a test be fore being sown in the field. farm Notes. The garden, the truck patch and the orchard should furnish the farmer with fully one-half of his living, if proper cure is taken with each to secure the best products in good season. Pasture the rye, if it is growing, due to the warm weather. The rye will not be Injured thereby unless the ground is wet Rye provides green food when it can be had from no other source. Tho presence of two or three in ferior cows in a herd affects the aver age profit of the whole. If dairying is to be conducted as a paying business the most important requisite is a good cow in place of an Inferior one. 'Kuy the Host and Breed Better," is the heading of an editorial in the Jer sey Bulletin. It is axiomatic and good enough for a motto, without comment 1 he man who obeys the injunction is on the great highway of progress and cannot fail to succeed. Every farmer should raise pies and cure his own bacon. There is no meat equal to that produced at home. lou will at least "know what you are eating." which is a valuable point in favor of home-raised meat, as only healthy, thrifty stock will be used for the home supply. Lime has the advantage of being beneficial at all seasons, though its effects in the soil may not be im mediate. It never injures land, if properly applied, and though its re sults may be unsatisfactory at first, yet the effects are lasting, the lime ap plied this year proving beneficial in the future. Lime is cheap and should bo used freely. The mainspring of farming is the seed. It is more important to secure good seed than to prepare for its re-, ccption in the soiL The failure of, seed to germinate may cost the far saor the loss of an entire crop. The seed is something that the farmer should carefully examine now, before spring opens, by testing it in boxes of earth under glass. Plowing and preparing the ground for corn may be done at any time when the ground is not frozen. The hotter the preparation of the ground the more plant-food available for the young corn in the spring. This is an excellent time for turning up the cut worms, as exposure to frost destroys them. Plowing also permits the frost to pulvarize the clods. Ifoaeholl Keetpes. Mountain Cakr.

Deputy United States Marshal Ralph Douiinguez of Los Angeles, who was in the city hint evening, tells a very strange tale of the extraordinary long evity of some Indians upon whom ho served some papers last week. Five Mission Indians were stthpwn ied to testify in a case wherein tho (ioverninent is plaint ill'. The point involved is as to whether or not the Indians shall be maintained in the possession of the l'otrero reservation, which comprises 4o,0(l0 acres of tho tl nest land in Southern California. The live Indians iu question were wanted to testify as to how long they had had possession of the reservation, and their ages ranged from 80 to 120 years. Mr. Doiiiingiicz found them in the Yuma .lesert, about ten miles the other side of Indio. The oldest of the quintet was .Tuan Saliielii, who had been on earth 120 years. Krancisea Apache was aged 115 years. Juan Largo had only lived 100 years. Juan Coliulla was horn 95 years ago. The youth of tho party was Cli'ef CalM'Zon, who had only recol lected of seeing K0 summers pass. Juan Suliii lii aud Francisca Apache recollect of the roiiiuicnocniaiit of the work on the mission at l'otrero which, as a historical fact, was built 1 10 years ago. They both assisted in tho con struction of the antique temple, as they carried adobe and in that way aided in the work. On account of their ex treme age they can hardly -walk now, but all things considered tiey arc quite "chipper." Francisca Apache was married fourteen years ago, when he was over 100 years old. In honor of his union to an Apache woman, who on the oc casion was a blushing bride of 60 summers, he added to his name the name of the tribe his wife was a mem ber of. Four years ago the father of Chief Caliazon died at the advanced ago of 110 years, and then his son succeeded lr the chieftianship. These extraor dinary instances of the longevity of the Mission Indians, who number about God, speaks a greaUleal for the climate of the Yuma desert, where during all this lime they have lived umlisturlicd by the white man.
