The characteristics of potatoes as to keeping quality and general excellence become very apparent about this time Of year and should be borne in mind When the question of seed for another crop comes up. Potatoes of a corky appearance or touch are usually preferred to the Bl&ooth and clear skinned tubers. This appearance or touch is in some in- Stances a variety characteristic, but in TUBES SHOWING SKIN BUPTCKKS. general it Indicates a degree of matu rity or development which promises good cooking quality. On the other hand, the potatoes of smooth and clear kin are oftentimes excessively wa tery or immarare. The presence of lentlcels that Is, bodies of cells which during growth enlarge and rupture the skin Is not ob jectionable, for they usually Indicate normal growth and development In a healthy environment. In an Investigation of the quality of potatoes carried on by J. W. Gilmore at the New York Cornell experiment tatlon parts considered in the physical examination were the surface or skin, the cortical layer or portion immedi ately under the skin and varying from .1 to .5 Inch in thickness, the external medullary area that is, the main tarcby part of the tuber and the In ternal medullary area or central por tion of the potato, which often branches Into the external medullary area and Is more or less translucent on account of its high moisture content. As regards the skin, it was noted that uneven tubers with deep eyes were un desirable for market, while a netted kin indicated maturity and, as a gen eral rule, good quality. A smooth skin Indicated immaturity, and hence poor keeping quality and a tendency toward undesirable flavor. Scabby potatoes were often mealy and of good color, but undesirable from the market stand point Tubers which had grown in part exposed to the air were heavy and aoggy when cooked and of poor color and undesirable flavor. In general it was found that when the cortical layer is thick and dense the tubers are of poor quality, and this condition is an indication that they grew near the surface, where the tem perature and moisture conditions were more variable than deeper in the soil. A uniform external medullary area in dicates an even distribution of starch cells and of starch grains within the cell. When this layer is not uniform It is an indication that the starch cells are unevenly distributed and Inter spersed with watery areas. A large TRANSVERSE SECTION OF POTATO. A, skin; B. cortical layer; C. outer me dullary layer; D, inner medullary layer.J and branching internal medullary area indicates that there Is a large propor tion of the potato substance which does not contain enough starch grains to rupture the cell walls when the tuber is boiled, and hence a soggy rather than a starchy cooked product results. When the Internal medullary area is small it is an Indication of uniformity in the starch area and a small propor tion of watery substance. Horse Talk. Overhead hayracks compel the horses to inhale dust This Is bad for the lungs. Hay should be well forked and shak en and slightly dampened and fed on the floor or in slatted mangers. The farmer should not buy his work horses. lie should raise them. He can grow them at a profit It Is better for the average farmer to raise draft colts. Farm Journal. Continuous Cropping. It has been observed by S. Fraser of New York that mangels and sugar beets grown continuously on the same land for four years were much more susceptible to leaf spot than when grown in a rotation with other crops. Pigs In Pasture. The damage done by hogs to alfalfa pastures is estimated by a Nebiaska man at one-half the crop or less. HOG HOUSE. Portable and In Use In Various Ways the Year Round. We send herewith a sketch of what we think the best handiest and cheap eat hog house we tiSve ever used. Two doors in front make it convenient for ventilating", as we have them face south in the winter time. If there is a cold wind from the southwest the west doors are closed and the east ones open ed. Should the wind be in the east or southeast they are reversed. The house is divided inside by a portable partition which should be .nearly four feet high and made of good oak boards with very narrow cracks between them, especial ly near the bottom. With this partition in place it makes good, roomy beds 5 by 8 feet each for the sows, and when through with it for sows the partition is removed and placed by the back wall and held there by a large wooden button turning down over the top board. In this shape we use it for twenty to twenty-five pigs and find it better than any of a half dozen differ ent patterns that we have used and are using, as it affords better ventilation and is easier to clean, as there is plenty of room. We use these houses in spring and fall for the sows. In summer they are used for bens with little chickens, be ing pulled into the chicken lot or or chard, and they would make excellent colony houses for laying hens. In win ter they furnish beds for fall pigs, thus making themselves useful the year around. One good horse or ordinary team will move one of them anywhere on the level ground, and as they are only eight felt wide they will pass through any ordinary gate. The bracket arrange ment seen at the ends of the house is for attaching portable fence which we use. Size of house is 8 by 10 feet, four feet high at back and seven feet in front The runners or foundation are 4 by 4 oak, beveled off at each end with an ax bo as to run easily. The PORTABLE BOO HOUSE. two center runners are fourteen feet long, so that they may extend out two feet at each end of. the house. Across these outer ends we spike 2 by 4 or 2 by 6 pieces to hitch to. The, floor should be of good oak boards, but need not be very tight The sides are match ed lumber, and the roof should be as light as possible. We have used felt paper for roofing for five years, but the kind we used became leaky in about two years, and now we have four or five houses to reroof. We ex pect to try galvanized iron or tin. The uprights or studding are 2 by 2 placed two feet apart, except that there are 2 by 4's placed at each side of doors. Doors are fastened shut by means of strong wooden buttons, each held by a spike. Olin H. Dobbins in National Stockman. Lime Correets Acidity. - Most cultivated soils possess a slight ly acid reaction. This is generally due to decomposition of the remains of plants in the soil forming organic acids. On wet soils this condition Is more noticeable than on dry soils. The sour humus and organic acids are not only unfavorable to the growth of nutrifying ferments and the root tubercles of leguminous plants, but also are likely, to dissolve iron and other compounds which are poisonous to microbes and crops. Water culture experiments have shown that slightly acid solutions are favorable to the growth of plants, and, while-most soils possess this character to a slight de gree, yet any excess of soluble acid in the soil would be highly detrimental. While most of our cultivated crops seem to need a slight acidity, it is probable that they have the ability to create this condition to a sufficient de gree through the medium of the solu tion sent out by their roots. This be ing the case, it would seem that the aim should be to keep soils in a neu tral or slightly alkaline condition so as to favor the growth of root tubercles of the legumes and the desirable soil ferments. Liming is excellent for correcting any excess of acidity and is probably the most effective and economical sub stance for- bringing about these other desirable conditions. H. J. Patterson. Farm Scales. "I consider that on a farm of 160 acres a good scales would be worth $50 to $75 a year, possibly much mora. I use scales mostly for weighing stock, hay and grains. There are times when I use scales every day," says a writer In Farm and Home. "In feeding stock 'ou may take a small bunch of cattle or hogs and by weighing each day both stock and feed you can tell just what the gain is per pound of feed. You may change the feed and see which gives the greatest gain if you keep a record of your feeding while making the test The scales are the only sure way to determine profit or loss in feed ing stock." Progress of the Sugar Beet. The beet sugar Industry has grown very rapidly during the past fifteen years. In 1892 the beet sugar fac tories turned out 13.4G0 short tons of refined sugar; in 1897. five years later. 4Z,2iG tons; in 1902, at the end of an other five year period, 218,405 tons, and In 1907 the estimated product reached 500,000 tons.

C. Linviixb, Agent DANGER OF CATARRH. Unless Properly Treated with Hy omei, Becomes Serious. Catarrhal troubles are far mors dan gerous than they seem at first thought. If you have catarrh there is an irritated state of the mucous membrane and weak ened tissues which afford an ideal lodg ment and culture medium for disease erms, especially those of consumption. You should get cured as quickly as possible before any dangerous germs that yen may breathe lodge on the diseased tissue and work destruction in the throat and lungs. The easiest, simplest, quickest, surest and cheapest way to cure catarrh is by the direct method, breathing Hyomei. This wonderful medicated air treatment does not drug and derange the stomach, but is breathed in, directly following and destroying all disease germs that may have been inhaled. - The unusual way in which Hyomei is sold by Graham & Wells is the best evi dence of their confidence1 in the treat mentand should dispel all doubt as to its curative properties! They agree to refund "the purchase price to anyone whom ETyomei fails to benefit, and you do not risk acentin testing its healing virtues. A complete outfit costs but $ 1 00 it it helps you, not a cent if it does not do all that is claimed for it .
