It spoils the hay for sale and reduces the 
yield by crowding out the good grass.

Lafe Potatoes in the South. 
B. S. 8., Maryland.—Give advice for culti¬ 
vating late potatoes, the proper time to 
plant, the kind of soil, fertilizer, and the 
best variety to use. Would you advise 
hilling or working them fiat? How will 
sweet potatoes do if worked level? 
Ans.— Late potatoes should have shal¬ 
low, level cultivation. During the last 
cultivation some earth should be thrown 
over the roots of the vines to keep the 
sun from “greening” the potatoes. Com¬ 
mence the cultivation when the vines 
are quite small, and do not let the 
ground form a crust. There are special 
potato fertilizers made which often give 
good results. I have used 200 pounds of 
acid phosphate mixed with 300 pounds 
kainit for an acre with satisfaction. The 
Early Ohio variety has given me good 
results as a late crop. Red Bliss Tri¬ 
umph is the best for second crop that 1 
have tried. Sweet potatoes do best on a 
small ridge, but I have grown a good 
crop on a level surface. r. h. price.

" Whiteweed ” as a Stock Food. 
T. P., Portland, Ore.—On page 437 you say: 
“We have found whiteweed a regular daisy 
for feeding horses.” As I have been a sub¬ 
scriber and careful reader of The R. N.-Y. 
for many years, and do not now remember 
such an unqualified endorsement of a 
“weed” therein, I should like to have the 
question answered: “What is whiteweed?” 
I have sometimes heard the ox-eye daisy 
called whiteweed. Your correspondent 
recommends “whiteweed” as excellent food 
for milch cows; do you also endorse this? 
We had in mind the common ox-eye 
daisy, which grows abundantly with us. 
says: 
“I have just looked up the whiteweed 
which I mentioned. I find it is much 
more common here in New England 
than I had thought. It does not seem to 
gain such a foothold as in Pennsylvania, 
still it is common in the meadows. 1 
find it to be the Daisy fieabane (Erig- 
eron annuus). There are one or two 
closely related species, so that possibly 
it may not always be this particular 
one, but I suspect this is the principal 
one, as it looks perfectly natural.” 
“Faith, Mrs. O’Hara, how do ye till 
thim twins apart?” “Aw, it is aisy—1 
sticks me finger in Dinnis’ mouth, an’ 
if he bites I know it’s Moike.”—Harvard 
Lampoon. 
Brown: “I hear you’ve bought a prop¬ 
erty at Lonesomewood. How does your 
land lie?” Gallen: “Not nearly so well 
as the agent who sold it to me.”—Phila¬ 
delphia Ledger. 
The Farmer: “Your cow must be 
sick. She doesn’t chew her cud.” The 
Amateur Farmer: “She doesn’t have to 
chew her cud. I feed her with predigest¬ 
ed hay.”—Judge.
