MICHIGAN EXPERIMENT STATION
Potatoes—Amount of Seed.
Bulletin No. 93 of the Michigan Experiment Station, is on "Potatoes:
Amount of Seed."
"The conclusion arrived at is that
the potato growers of Michigan do not
plaufc enough seed. Our own experiments, corroborated by those of other
stations, go to show that for ordinary
distances the half potato gives better
results than any smaller amounts. For
weak growing varieties, or varieties
having smjill tubers, even a larger
amount of seed will be found more
profitable.
"A careful investigation shows clearly:
"First, That an increase.in seed with-
iu ordinary limits produces a marked
increase—both in total yield and in
marketable yield.
"Second, That an increase in seed,
from one eye up to the half potato, produces an increase in the net value of
the crop; but the increased yield from
the whole potato over the half potato is
not sufficient to cover the cost of the
greater amount ot seed."
The tibove conclusions are the result
of hundreds of experiments, extending
over many years. They practically
agree with the results of twelve other
stations as compiled in the bulletin. It
would soem that such a large number
of experiments under such widely varying conditions as are furnished by the
thirteen states in question, would practically settle the question of the best
amount of seed potato to plant.
In reality the whole question is not
what gives the great yield, but what
amount gives the greatest profit. When
seed is high in the spring it will generally be advisable not to plant whole
potatoes at ordinary distances, but
when they are cheap it will generally
pay-
Since it has been proven that the
yield is more in proportion to the
weight of seed planted than the number
of eyes, the, cutting out of the eyes for
seed.common in, so,m,e p$rts, of the state,
}s tq b,§ s^rpngiy condemned.
So also, the use of small potatoes for
seed, not only lessens the profits the
first year, b.ut if followed for.'a series of
years tends towards rapid deterjpratipnj
i,n accordance with the ^avvs.p|hered.ity.
The larger a,m,oi*,n$s. o.f seed- gave a
lflore vigorous gr-OAvth, of vines, and on

The data from which the above conclusions were drawn is to be found in

A present fad that i,si worthy of wide
aud loug popularity is to match the
decorations of the china and table-
linen. For quite a period these two
essentials for table furnishing have
matched in general style aud color: but
the recent idea is to des-Wiito both linen
iiuil poraelajft with the same design.
T>>ys limey can bo charmingly developed
for luucTicous and leas; bat for formal
din lift's with many and varied courses,
the Mime motif in nil the changes of
pliiios would become as monotonous as
the drawing-rooms of a score of years
ago. that were fit ftiished regardless of
expense, but en suite.
The original Dresden style, consisting of tiny magenta roses, puttie
violets, with pink and blue aud yellow
and scarlet blossoms of unrecognizable
species, powdered irregularly over the
surface, producing a piquant medley of
contrasting form? and colors,is Ciijpuble
of extended application 1,0 both china
and linen. Thanks to the "wash-'
gilks, the latter may be embroidered in
this manner without danger of damage,
in careful laundering. But considerable artistic knowledge ig required to
blend the colors into a harmonious
whole, and therefore a good model is
dosi ruble. In almost every collection
of china there are some pieces decorated in this style, and they are always
to be found iu the shops, A variation
of the Dresden style is to use tiny
sprigs of but one flower, as forget-me-
nots, violets, sweet peas, "wild-roses.etc.

An Alabama man fell into a well together with his horse. The horse was
killed, and the man, two days having
elapsed, was becoming tired of associating with the remains. Happily, buzzards came to the feast, and the prisoner, grabbing the legs of several, said
"shoo" in a persuasive way. They
winged with him to the surface and
high into the air, but he released them
one by one aud so came down quietly,
avoiding any embarrassing kerplunk.
Those who are inclined to doubt the
