Potatoes and the Moon.
Having made quite a upeclnlty of grow
ing pntatoes fop the last thirty yenrs, I
have hnd ample opportunity to look Into
the peculiarities of their growth, mid
they have often been very striking. One
farmer will report thnt Ills heat yields
are obtained by plantliigne or two eyes
in a hill, while another could only get
'his maximum crop by planting large
-whole potatoes, and sWU others, some
.years, really do get better results by
planting whole small pettutoes than from
large ones cut as they usually are. One
man I know, planted part of a field
with a machine and ijrt by baud, all
from the same pile of seed and all the
same day. Those .planted by the nift.
chine did much tlw best so much
that 'their superiority showed very
plainly all summer while growing.
Some years we will see those planted
extremely late doing the best, while In
other years those only do well that are
planted 'earliest. All of these, and
many more, are the peculiarities that I
have noticed about "the growth of pota
toes, and In everycase by investigation,
a good reason could be assigned plainly
in accordance with the principles of
their growth. 1 'Bright state these rea
sons here, but that is not what I intend
to write aboutijust now.
In I7ie Farmer of Dec. 27, J. ' E.
Meyres says lie always sought to plant
potatoes in thebirk of the moon, in
March or April. ,
The question 'before us then is, " Is
the growth of potatoes affected by the
phases of the moon ?" March and April
are good months 4a which to plant po
tatoes, but has the phase of the moon
anything to do with it i Thousands of
farmers, utterly disregarding the moon,
have planted,' if it so happened in any
other quarter ot that luminary, and
have obtained equally good crops when
the natural conditions of growth were
equally good. This fact leads us to dis
regard the restriction to one phase of
the moon. Even if the moon had ever
so much to do with the growth of pota
toes, we could not regulate its influence
by planting in one particular quarter,
for there ls.no assurance that this is the
time they will oenunence to grow. That
might have been in the old of the pre
vious moon, or they may not commence
to grow for two or three weeks after
planting. Ttveuiene planting has little
to do with it.
I have never seen a failure of this
crop charged to .planting in the wrong
phase of the moon, or a good crop at
tributed to planting in the right phase,
but what either ieaait could be traced to
natural causes, easily explained. But
after all my experience, I would advise
planting iu thedatkof the moon if the
land was in the beet -order then ; if not,
work at it till it is in the best order ,even
if you have to plant in the new of the
moon. H. Ives in Jhxzctlcal Farmer.
Wheat Growing Maxims.
Somebody has 'been.at the trouble of
condensing a great deal of information
about wheat growing as.follows:
1. The best soil for .wheat is a rich
loam.
2. Wheat always likes.a good, deep,
soft bed.
3. Clover tuind iundur makes just
such a bed.
4. The best seed is heavy, oily, plump
and clean.
o. About two inehes ls the (best depth
for sowing seed.
C. The drill puts La the seed better and
cheaper than broadcasting.
7. From the middle of September to
the last of October k the best time for
mowing.
8. Drilled, one bushel of seedier acre;
if sown broadcast two.
9. One heavy rolling After sowing does
much good.
10. For flour, cut when the grain be
gins to harden ; for seed, ot until ilt has
hardened.
CS A Berks county man rids his tree
effectually of caterpillars, by fastening a
rough corn cob to a pole and running
it into the nests, turning and twisting
the cob a number of times. He says tins
nests become detached from the branch
es and adhere to the corn cob. Other
methods have heretofore been, tried by
him, but tble he finds to be the best.
A fi.od Housewife.
The good housewife, when she U giv
ing her house iU spring rennovating,
chould bear in tuiud that the dear in
mates of her bouse are more precious
than many houses, aud that their sys
tems need cleansing by purifying the
blood, regulating the stomach and bowels
to prevent and cure the diseases arising
from spring malaria and miasma, and
she must know that there Is nothing
that will do It bo perfectly and surely as
Hop Bitters, the purest and best of mei".
