FARM NOTES,
THAT the yield of a crop is governed
by the mode of cultivation and amount
of fertilizer used is shown by the ex-
periments made at the experimental
farm of the Rural New Yorker, which
inaugurated also a different system cof
planting. The trial was made on four
plots, one of which produced at the
rate of 1076 bushels of potatoes per
acre; but owing to the ravages of the
flea-beetle on one side of the plots the
general average was at the rate of 653
bushels per acre.
The plots were planted o
but two weeks previously the seed po-
tatoes were spread out singly in a
warm room, the object teing lo leave
them shoot out, S80 as to secure the
most vigorous seed, all imperfect speci
mens being rejected, The potatoes
were then cut according to the number
of strong eyes developed,
eyes to a piece were secured, The
trenches were dug with a spade, about
seven inches deep and a foot wide, and
fertilizer strewn both under and over
the seed. About 880 pounds of fertil-
izer were evenly sown in the bottom of

There is considerable potash and
phosphoric acid left over in the soil for
another crop. If a field of potatoes is
to be grown under the trench system
use plenty of fertilizer, not less than
1200 pounds per acra, which should
analyze 5 per cent, of ammonia, 10 per

yield of the crop will more than pay
for it and give a larger profit as well,
How To PREVENT VERMIN. —Pre-
vention is better than cure, for one
reason, because it is easier. When a
tarmer finds his spring calves pining
away and looking miserable from the
attacks of lice, he will find it no easy
stables of the pests,
spent in efforts to prevent the mischief
would have saved weeks of worry aud
work, To prevent the entrance of
these pests, ail fowls should be kept
from roosting in stables, Fowls will
do no harm there if thelr house is kept
clean and the roosts are well soaked
with kerosene oll once » month, But
half a dozen lousy hens will infect all
the stoek in the stables and give trouble
through the whole winter. For the
stock, the best way of keeping them
free from vermin is to brush them well
once a day, using a stiff brush, to
which a little kerozene oil is applied by
means of a sponge, or the hair may be
rubbed with the olled sponge and then
well brushed. This will keep the
animals free from lice and make their
coats smooth and glossy, but if used
too plentifully it will take off the hair
and blister the skin,
A unoMr-MADE fleld roller is con-
structed from the wheels, tongue and
seat of an old mower, with such ad-
ditional irons and volts as can be
readily obtained at any blacksmith
shop, The two mower wheels are first
connected by an iron axle that projects
into the frame. Around these wheels
are fitted about forty-eight pieces of
scantling, two by four inchesand eight
feet long, beveled and nalled together.
These are planed smooth on the sur-
face. On each Bnd directly over the
wheels is then shrunk a common wagon
tire. The frame is composed of scant
ling four by four inches, bolted through
the tenons. The roller when com-
pleted 1s about forty inches in diameter
and heavy enough to crush clods
Owing to the size of the roller the
draught is very light, a small team

‘He hurled the previous end of his
