FARMa^GARDEN
A USEFUL POTATO SORTER
Device Easily Made Which Will
Make Quick Work of Han
dling the Tubers.
For sorting potatoes quickly the de
vice here illustrated will be found ad
mirable. It consists of a slatted chute
about six feet in length provided with
legs at one end. The slats should be of
inch stuff fastened as shown and about
three-quarters of an inch apart, slight
& '
THE POTATO SORTER.
Iv farther apart at the bottom than at
the top. This will prevent the potatoes
from becoming wedged in the slots as
they roll down. The width should be
about 20 inches and the sideboards eight
inches in height. The potatoes may then
j be snoveled from the wagon directly
into the chute down which they will roll,
the smaller ones falling through the
slots. If desired, suggests the Prairie
i Farmer, two short legs may be fastened
! to the lower end of the chute so that, a
i basket may be used in catching the po
j tatoes as they fall.
A BUTCHERING TRESTLE.
Useful Contrivance Which Will Fa
cilitate the Handling of
the Hogs.
Here is a description and sketch of a
' butchering trestle used by a correspond
ent of the Farm
t.VC"'7 *—•Journal: A strong,
*°w 'aide with
crosspieces nailed
securely to the
two by four scantlings that form
the braces and legs. Two stout men can
mount this table to draw the hog from
the scalding barrel that leans at an
easy angle in the curve A and B—a 45
inch curve. If a derrick is used to raise
and lower the hog, so much the better,
j I he scraping and rinsing of the hog may
! he done on this trestle prior to hoist
ing tor disemboweling.
FARM JOTTINGS.
The farmer must uplift himself—no
one Pise can or will do the job.
Our national surplus of wheat, in
cluding flour at its equivalent in
wheat, may be expected to approach
200,000,000 bushels this winter.
An American wheat expert hazards
the prediction that western Canada
within ten years will be the principal
source of European wheat supplies.
it is now definitely settled that the
recent apple crop is just about half as
large as the previous year’s crop. The
final estimate for 1905 is 23,500,000 bar
rels. Demand is good; prices high
and firm.
For ihe protection of a large area
from the codling moth pest, the Cape
government has prohibited the import
of fresh apple, pear or quince fruit in
to certain large South African dis
tricts.
Raising or Buying Small Fruit.
We have always urged farmers to
I raise enough small fruit for their fam
| fly use. The proportion of farmers
that raise enough fruit for their fam
ilies is increasing from year to year,
i but yet there are many farmers that
do not raise any kind of small fruit.
Their stock argument is that it is
cheaper to buy the fruit than to raise
it. That may be so in some cases, but !
even if it were so in a'l cases, the fact j
remains that most fat <iq not buy
fruit for their famil. nd i they
do not raise it. their families do n, t
get it. Every man can afford to raise i
all the fruit his family can use in a
year, and if ills fruit raising opera
tions are properly conducted, they will
require but little time throughout the
year.
The Pitch of Roof.
The rake or pitch of roofs has much
to do in giving character and finish
to a building. For ordinary roofs,
whether shingles or slate are used, the
rise should be one-third the width ot
the building. In houses where head
room is wanted in the attic the rise
should be one-half the width of the
building.
STORING POTATOES
Conditions to Be Observed If the
Most Satisfactory Results
Are Obtained.
I have found in my experience on the
farm that it is necessary to use consider- j
able care in the storing of potatoes in j
the cellar if they are to be made to keep :
well and not sprout or rot. The storing
in open bins used to be followed by my j
father when 1 was a boy. and the pota- .
toes got a good deal of sunlight and
warmth. The result was that several
times throughout the winter we boys
had jobs sprouting the potatoes. The
work is all right, but the potatoes are
reduced in condition each time they are
permitted to sprout. The moisture that
goes out in the sprouts leaves the tubers <
soft and wrinkled. In that condition
they are of little value for eating and
of less value for seed.
There are two things that need to be
looked after in the storing of potatoes, j
One is to keep the potatoes boxed or
barreled tight, so as not to permit the i
air to pass through the storage places
and draw moisture from the tabors.
The other is to keep the cellar cool i -
der modern conditions this i: more
diffic lit than it was under the old condi
tions; for the reason that many of our .
farmhouses are now heated by means of ;
furnaces which greatly increase the ■
warmth in the cellar. In a case of this
kind it is absolutely necessary to have
a second cellar beyond the first or have
the first cellar divided into two parts by
a double wall that will not permit the
heat from the furnace to warm the air
in the other portion. The windows from
the cellar to the open air must be fixed to
open, so that now and then throughout
the winter the storage cellar may be
filled with cool air. Potatoes must be
kept from sprouting and must also be
kept from losing moisture. They
should be as sound and hard late in
the winter as when first put in the
cellar.
FERTILIZER FOR CELERY.
What This Table Delicacy Needs for
Its Most Successful
Growth.
Celery feeds largely on nitrogen anc
does best in a soil well stocked with
vegetable matter. In other words, it
reveis in a black loam, or muck soil.
The best fertilizer is well decayed
farmyard manure strewn in the bot
tom of the furrow made to receive the
plants and stirred in the same as to
mix it with earth by running a one
horse cultivator along the furrow with
the teeth set close. Compost made of
decayed sods and leaves wiil answdr
the same purpose. If commercial fer
tilizers are used, the ingredient most
needed is nitrogen applied at the rate
of, say, 100 pounds per acre. Fifty
pounds per acre could be sown along
the rows at the time of planting, just
after the plants have been set, and
the balance some weeks later.
Usually each state requires the fer
tilizer to be analyzed before it is put
on the market, and a statement of the
analysis to be furnished with the
goods. In soni- instances, suggests the
Farm and Home, such materials may
be chemically analyzed by applying
to the state cnemist or to the chemist
of the agricultural college. As is gen
erally known, nitrogen may oe pur
chased in the form of nitrate of soda,
sulphate of ammonia and slag.
Winter Wheat Area.
The newly seeded area of wintei
wh‘"v: is estimated at 31,341,000 acres,
an increase of 0.6 per cent, over the
area sown in the fall of 1004. The con
dition ot winter wheat was recently
94.1, as compared with 82.9 in 1904
86.6 in 1903, and a ten-year average ol
91.5.
Demand for Ash and Hickory.
' •nufacturers of vehicles and imple
n: } art finding that the supply ol
w 's used in their industries is be
coi . g more and more difficult to ou
tain.

That Boy.
Did you ever think how it rejoices
the heart of that boy to be permitted
to go to town with father? It is the
same way whether father drives out,
no matter if it is only to get a pig
of a neighbor. Get the boy up on the
seat with you, says the Farm Journal.
Be ready to answer all his questions—
and there will be a lot of them! Let
him help you "hitch up.” Trust him .
to hold the horses while you are in
the store. Let him help you get the
pig. In short, think of him as your
right-hand man of to-morrow, it will
do the boy good and you will be the
better man for it. V
