FARM NOTES, —— — Porarors SivaLe Eyes.—The po- tato is not a seed, but a part of the root of the plant, and the future crop depends much more on the soil and cultivation necessary to produce a vigorous plant than cn the size of the piece planted. Still there is no getting around the fact that a large piece planted will start more vigorous sprouts than little slices. In patient experiments in growing potatoes for the past twenty years my greatest blunder has been in cutting sets down to single eyes. I was taught to do so and only abandoned it afier repeated proofs of its fallacy. Much of the trouble comes from dry ground, which extracts the moisture from the cut side of the plant, where there is no skin to retain natural juices. Result: The set curls up, looks like a dried peach and does noi grow. But the most mischief is done by heavy rains and wet ground. Cutting 8 potato io- duces decay. A large part of the skin (nature's protector) is hence a large portion of the sets rot, and the few which do grow are so in- jared in vitality as to produce tiny spindling plants, a sure and easy prey tothe voracions bug. The smalles whole potatoes are worth more than the largest cut down to single eyes to plant. gone, up multitudes of little sprouts from each eye. It will do no such thing but will only send up such sprouts as it ean vigorously support; the rest of the eyes remain dormant. I like large, whole sets best when they are very cheap. 1 want to ask readers to test by planting cut single eyes, side by side, in alternate rows with uncut small potatoes. with horse manure, hog manure or ashes ; work with sulky cultivator four inches deep, and cover with some tool one drill at a time. 1 plow deep, spread ’ Tre hog is the only animal kept on the farm without some provision for a | eggs, six or eight macaroons crumbled, | regular supply of pure water.

For this very reason hogs should always bave the run of the plum orchard, To ger the best flavor to butter feed a fair proportion of corn mesl and vary the diet with oats, middlings and bran, using the whole mixed with plenty of good clover hay. A pro portion of linseed weal, with ensilage or roots, will also be found beneficial: The best method feeding, however, will not avail unless there is proper management io the dairy, is ground plaster. It way be sprink- [led about the stands and over the maoure heap daily. It will absorb the odors and retain them, thus in creasing the value of the dressing.

Ax EXCHANGE makes a good sugges. tion in saying that “a much heavier | sod and larger growth of either pas | ture or bay is obtained by, sowing different kinds of grass seed on the same field, as each kind will find the kind of 0il and plant food best adapt. ed to its vigorous growth, aud thus prevent vacant spaces, which are only filled as nature occupies them with noxious weeds.” This rule is, how- ever, most applicable in the older geological formations, ss where the supporting rocks are nearly horizontal the soils are homogenco 18 over larger areas, Tue young fruit trees will send up many shoots that will need trimming off and this should be done as soon as they make their appearance. The whole orchard should be gone over every week or two aod all surplus branches be cut off as fast as they ap- pear. This is much better than allow. ing them to grow to some size before cutting them off, and will not injure the trees so much. Marsuars P. WiLper says that he bas grown melons on the same patch for ten years ; the ground has a south ern nspect, He prepares a compost of manure, soil and guano, which he spreads on the land in addition to manuring the hills, Sarface manur- ing he considered very important.
