JOh.XXXl. INDIANAPOLIS, IND., MAY 23, 1896. NO. 21 EXPERIENCE DEPARTMENT. How ao you Cultivate Potatoes? [lst premium.—The potatoes having leen properly planted their cultivation ^iould begin soon after. In two or three i after planting the ground should 3 worked over with a good weeder or harp toothed harrow, so as to destroy te tiny weed plants that are sprouting 1st beneath the surface - and also to re- lin the firm mulch of soil, which is so bsirable in potato culture. This same Oration should be repeated at intervals J a few days, until the potatoes can be |en growing in the row. In case of very ly weather the weeder should be fol- Iwed once or twice with a roller, to firm le soil over the sprouting tubers and to levent the rapid evaporation of mois- ■re from the soil. All this may seem le a great deal of work, but it is easily |drapidly performed, and is necessary insure best results. As soon as the |ants can be seen along the row give the I a good stirringjwitb' the double ow or cultivator and let the weeder ■low as a leveler and pulverizer. Conine this method until the plants begin (shade the ground considerably, then lish the cultivation with a weeder, run- Jig it as long as it will readily work (rough the vines. The first plowing of ■tatoes with . a: cultivator, should be Itier . deep .but/_JUbsec(uent.plowings p_i__r*_?'sE"aIIoiw*, so as to avoicl*3_iiur_? ; the newly farming tubers."i,"•"- ■'■ Hendricks Co. ' O. M. Hadley. Premium. In the first place I do as ch cultivation as I can before plant- , by getting the ground in first-class idition, breaking deep and fine, rolling harrowing until the ground is as mel- as an onion bed, as one cannot raise atoes among clods with much success. .trow out deep and cover with the cul- |ator or Planet Junior,throwing the dirt m each side on the potatoes. As soon he plants appear in the rows, go over ground lengthwise of the rows with a t smoothing harrow with small sharp h slanting backwards. This destroys e-.en.hs of the young weeds, loosens and levels the ground, and does as ch good as two plowings. Then go * the ground every week with the net Junior or double shovel, working tty close and deep the first time and e shallow afterwards, until the vines to bud and then stop cultivation. eeds appear later in the season pull out or mow them off. By raising toes in this way the average farmer get a paying crop. .Fight the bugs Paris green or London purple, and nes will cover the ground and shade crop, conserving moisture and pre- ing drouth. H. S. Blatchley. .nam Co. [Premium.—Though Mr. Collins did lagree with me in planting potatoes, I ping to tell how I cultivate them. I tn by harrowing well with a fine tooth row and follow with a drag before the Jtoes are up. When they are about liaches high, I cultivate with a fine |li cultivator. In two or three days I 1 about 200 pounds of bone meal to the I with my wheat drill, which answers Im cultivation. From this on I cul- f" my potatoes about twice a week 1 they are in bloom when I lay them [I always aim to plow them as soon * rain as the ground will permit. I ~t believe in neglecting a growings I to plant another. When the vines lead i dlg my potatoeS) before the F get so high that they will have to t0we*1- B.W.. fjdori, J?'**that the cultivation of potatoes J a begin in about one week from the i-ney are planted, by harrowing,and in about a week br ten days they should be harrowed again, so as not to let the weeds get a start. Then in about ten days they ought to be cultivated with a small shovel cultivator. Cultivation should be kept np about every ten days, not longer apart than that, until they get in full bloom. The last time they are cultivated they should be hilled up a little by putting a larger shovel next to them and then have a small .harrow that will go between the rows and harrow to level the ground. I think this best if' it should be a drouth. 3. D. Lemay. Harrison Co. REVIEW. 'Tis pleasant to see that our good friend the harrow is being more appreciated and used in all cultivated crops. We are finding out that it is the best weed-killer and mulch maker we have. While using my Cassady plow this spring I studied root growth of weeds. The top root is like a long white tapering worm with no branch roots until the leaf reaches the air. Both stem and root are taking food from the seed. Sap taken from the ground could not be digested till the leaf unfolds to the air, so there is no need of fine branch roots. Now is the time to kill a weed,: just before it comes to light, because it occupies only one or two inches of surface soil and is easily reached and displaced, and the stirred?soil .dries out. But, if say*bnejtnoh high; it has --branch «ootB**mong~ry^oid'*-Bbil*-''--^ Keep alive a short time for rain to let it out - T. B. Terry harrows his potatoes three times, before they come up, and if you will harrow part of the field once and part twice or three times yoh will be surprised to see how clean and nice the frequent harrowing made it. I see some cultivate only till buds show. There is a tradition that it injures potatoes to "mess" with them after this. In'93 the writer was running Breed's weeder over potatoes and came to a few rows larger. In fact they were beginning to lodge. It was very dry and hot at 11 a. m. and I thought I'd try to kill two rows. I brushed them all east (teeth all in); then: all west, doubling them in a wad so the teeth would hum. as they sprang over them. Then east, then back, making four times in one hour, and the vines had made a hole like a cane pushed in the ground and swung around a circle. These vines never raised; but they turned up their heads like lodged clover; were as late dying as any and yielded practically the same. Now I would not advise such "wooling," but I believe it a lazy man's excuse if it remains dry, or a crust forms, or weeds start in the little open places, not to run a narrow Planet Junior, or a weeder with teeth removed in the hill through those "taters." ■ About one fourth of the work of stirring potato ground should be done in deep breaking, etc.,before planting. One-fourth between planting and showing. And if you will harrow your "taters to death" and then before they come up, you will be surprised how early the later work will be. Planting with a machine firms the soil very mnch in the open row by the path of the horse and the roll of the wheel,and this should be promptly and surely lifted with some rigid cultivator, not a spring tooth I mean. I visited a friend last year who had tried to follow level cultivation and had his field all in ridges. He said: "Well, I tried to do it that way, but we ridged them some in planting and then jumped in with a double cultivator and they were still higher/and I didn't know how to get the ridges down. I spoiled it all, right at the beginning, and now you see them ridged this way and covered with crust and burning up. We have no tool that will break crust on a ridged seed bed like that." His mistake was in not getting-all level before they came up, then working them with narrow plows and the weeder, run right through the hill after each of the first few cultivations, keeps them practically level and the surface fine and weedless. We don't cultivate "onco a week," bnt when needed. Don't lay by with four workings, but vary the tillage according to the season. One lucky fact about potatoes is that though they need water worse than corn they don't drink as much as corn, and if you prevent evaporation you have damp mellow soil to de- velope tubers in. * .. - The writer once left 10 rows 70 rods long that had been worked five times and allowed a crust to form and worked the remainder of the field some 15 times with Planet Jr. and weeder clear up to the death of the vines. During growth you could see no difference, but the neglected vines died a week or more sooner and at digging there were just one-third more measures in three rows "worked to death" than in three in. the middle of the 10. Besides there were very few of the 10 that were marketable. Many a time last summer did I jump off of my wheel and examine a potato patch "laid by." The white; hard crust would be hot, and the plants struggling for drink while I suppose the owner was at the store talking about the drouth and supposing there was no help for it. Some washed places inmy .potato field shbwejd a"maf of roots extending across a 30-inclT row when the vines; were six or eight inches high, and they come as near the surface as we can leave the soil undisturbed; Deep plowing should be done as early as they will bear the dirt, and to "plow deep but further oft" later is a mistake. If the soil runs together, so as to need deep stirring later, it is not fit for potato crops. ;Too sticky and not enough humus. ' I dwell on these points because the season promises to be dry again, and the crop of potatoes or corn is often awfully damaged by deep cultivation. With very rich ground and plenty of moisture plants will bear most any amount of mangling, but on our older fields and dry better care is needed. Bugs are bad this year. I kill them with Paris green in flour or gypsum—two heaping tablespoonfuls to three gallons, well mixed and jarred through a pepper box, made of a two quart tin can with broom handle fastened straight up in it. Don't forget future topics. 1 E. H. Collins. I would like for several of our good orchardists of practical experience to name a list of varieties of all kinds of fruits best adapted to central and southern Indiana.

A. H. Madison Co., May 11.—I used bone meal fertilizer on one field at the rate of 100 pounds per acre. Wheat is better where used than where no manure nor fertilizer was used, but I spread a strip across one end of the field with barnyard manure as thin as I could spread it by hand from the wagon, after the ground was plowed, and the difference is very preceptible quite a distance from the field in favor of the manure.. A large portion of the wheat is looking very poor and ground is getting very dry. W. R. K. Falling tree crushed the skull of G. W. Woodhouse, 25, Cass county, last week.

I'm a farmer and a merchant, I read your paper and find lots of good things in it. Randolph Co. A. Reader. Black or red pepper, borax powder and tansy leaves are recommended for the purpose. Sprinkle either of them around tbe barrels and the ants will keep away. Please inform me thourgh the Indiana Fabmeb the following: 1.

Please give information through the Farmer on A's and B's line fence. A owns about 70 rods and B owns about 35 rods, A has all of his fence on his land and wishes B to build his half of the fence on his land. How must A proceed to compel B to do this? T. B. If B will not build his full part of the fence, then A can build on his own land and refuse to let B join, unless he will pay for one half fence. Please find enclosed a circular—plan of road working for Perry county, and please let me know if it is lawful for the commissioners and the trustees of said county to enforce such on the people? Please answer through the Farmer. A Subscriber. As a policy to be pursued in working roads, we think the Perry county plan not only legal but a good one. The resolutions, however, are merely voluntary and bind nobody. A and B own joining farms. B's buildings being back from the gravel road, his outlet is out through his place at a gate on southwest corner of his place. On the northwest corner of A's place he has a water trough for watering his cattle, which is supplied by a gas pump. He keeps the pump running day and night which causes the trough to run over and the waste water naturally running into B's gate keeping a continual mudhole in the gate way. Can B compel A to quit running the waste water into the gate? What course must he pursue? B. B. L. Be can sue A for damages for maintaining a nuisance. A and B join farms, with 120rods of partition fence between them. A's fence, which is the north half, has become very poor. A sells 20 acres off the south part of his land to C, and the remaining 40 acres, (the north part), to D. Question: Can C claim 20 rods of B's fence, and can D compel B to make 20 rods of the fence between them, or in other words, 20 rods of the 60 rods of old, run down fence? W. G. W. After A sells to C or D there must be a readjustment of. the partition fence, and D must allow B a sufficient consideration to equalize the fence between them; but if D will not do this then A may, after six months' notice, remove his part of the fence and compel D to make his own fence along the entire line.
