Some Potato Points.— In The Rural 
In a late Rural I noticed inquiries 
about sprouting potatoes for early plant¬ 
ing. It is quite so common a thing around 
Montreal to plant early that nearly all 
potato growers have a few acres forced 
in this way. Such men bring the seeds 
into their kitchens and garrets and leave 
them there till the sprouts are well 
started before planting. It is very tedious 
work, but it makes a difference of 10 
days in marketing. I find Lee’s Favorite 
the favorite with those who have them 
earliest on the market. R. brodie. 
Montreal, Canada. 
Sweet Corn Stalks For Silo.— I grow 
from 10 to 12 acres of sweet corn to sell 
green, for my main crop, principally 
Crosby and Stoweli’s Evergreen. Will it 
pay to silo the stalks for five cows? Our 
manner of working now is as follows : 
As soon as the green corn is sold, we cut 
the stalks, tie them and put them in large 
stooks and draw them to the barn as we 
need them, through the winter; the 
stalks are green and sweet and the cattle 
eat them up very greedily ; even the 
horses will eat them in preference to good 
clover and Timothy hay. B. B. 
Ans.— We do not think it will pay to 
cut the stalks into a silo, hut it may pay 
to put them whole into a place such as 
was described by Mr. Birgein his articles 
on Soiling and Ensilage. The plan you 
propose is about like that followed by J. 
M. Smith, the famous Wisconsin gar¬ 
dener. He is well pleased with it. 
FUN FOR BOYS AND GIRLS. 
Who love out door sports. Lassoing is the best entertainment ever introduced. It promotes health and vigor and 
encourages skill in playful exercises. It always interests and amuses, and at the same time develops body and mind 
Girls love the sport and boys are fascinated with it. No other cheap toy ever afforded so much healthful sport.

page 53, A. S. Me. B., Lakewood, N. J., 
asks how to get quality in potatoes. I 
always plant mine in April, but in the 
beginning of May last season, and when 
blight is so common as it has been the 
last few seasons, early planting gives the 
crop a chance to ripen thoroughly before 
the blight strikes it. In some of our 
gravelly knolls, some seasons our pota¬ 
toes may be small, but they are very 
good in quality. I know different grades 
of manure do affect the quality of the 
tubers. One season I manured part of a 
potato field with stale salt fish sent out 
from the city; the crop was immense, 
but the quality was so poor that I had to 
feed them to the cattle, while those grow¬ 
ing alongside were good. 
R. N.-Y.—The poor quality of the crop 
was probably due to the large amount 
of salt in the fish. Chlorine in salt and 
in some of the potash salts has the same 
effect of retarding the formation of 
starch and sugar. This is why such sub¬ 
stances are not considered best for pota¬ 
toes, sugar beets, etc. The stations now 
give the amount of chlorine in potato 
fertilizers. This is an effort to distin¬ 
guish the forms of potash used by manu¬ 
facturers. as the sulphate of potash con¬ 
tains little or no chlorine.
