It Is possible to grow a good potato crop after coru If the latter has been planted on aii old s.hI heavily manured. In such case a good deal of in,, virtue of the sod was not secured by the corn crop, and there Is besides a dressing of well-rotted manure to be turned up by the spring plowing. It Is much bet- tor to plant early potatoes on such laud ami io piunt tliem ns enrlv as n good seed bed can be had. Without a fres sou to decay and furnish plant fo... and moisture lu midsummer, the n. suit witn late potatoes would be that iney tiry up just at the critical time for making a crop. fills Mowing Crntiu fin.,1 lie of the questions belug'discussod luiiuers iiai i,i,. ... ... - .mra is niicuici' old-time custom of ..

It Is bellevtHl that failures with peaches lu many sections are partially uue io no proper varieties lor cacti section of the country not being select ed. To learn more on the subject th work of testing the varieties has been submitted to twenty-four experiment stations, and It Is believed that the re sults will be very beneficial. One of the great d'.IIicultJes In the wav Is that of procuring varieties true to name. It Is seldom that a peach grower succeeds 111 procuring the exact varlet'cs order ed unless he knows from whom to buy or has evidence that no mistake will be made. Money in Sheep. Many farmers who got rid of their sheep because wool did not pay have found that they made a mistake In so doing, as the ewes could have been made the foundation for something bet ter. Sheep are liot as easily procured now ns two years ngo, and fewer com plaints are made regarding the pi-oHts from them. Oxford sheep, which pro duced' heavy carcasses lust year, on an Ohio farm, averaged eight pounds of wool per sheep also, thus proving that mutton breeds also pay ns wool pro ducers. The Bent Turkey for tlrce liou. It Is not surprising that turkevs should soon run out and become Infer ior In every way, when we remember how so many farmers choose their breeding stock. All the late birds stunted by corn feeding while young are saved, while those that are large mid Hue are sent to market. The idea Is that the small bird will be fully grown, and as large ns the largest by spring. But It never Is. Saving the best birds for breeders Insures earlier laying of eggs, nnd an early crop of turkeys uext year. I'ortlni.d Mut'krt.

One of the best rules for profitable farming Is to always keep as much young-growing stock as isrsslhle, aud to discard early that which lieoause of age Is declluing in value. Pood that makes growth Is always much more productive than that given the fully grown animal which only requires to be fattened. In a hog the first loo pounds cost less than the second hun dred. After a hog ge' t to be 300 weight most of Its food goes to maintain Its present condition, and there Is very little profit to the feeder. barn doors. Value of the Cow Pea. Auulyses made at the Colorado Ex periment Station show that pea vine hay Is richer In protein than either clo ver or alfalfa. The pea vines contain materially more nitrogen tluin alfalfa. and are valuable for green manuring. There Is a considerable amount of peu vine hay mak' In Colorado. The vari ety grown for that puqiose Is known ai the Mexican pea. Ban Frnticlaro Market. Wool Nevada 1 1 13c; Oregon, 14c; Northern 78o per pound. Hops 12,' g (2 10c per ikjiiiiiI.

The advice of William Ogilvie, the Canadian surveyor, that miners who start over the passes between March 1 and 20 will reach IJawsoon as soon as those who start now, will bo unheeded. Nothing can stop the mud rush. Mr. Ogilvie is mistaken in his opinion that miners who tOrt in March will reach Dawson as csin as those going in now. What ho meant to say is that miner who start now have no advantage over those who wait for decent weather. Miners are reaching Dawson every day, burner is in position.
