Grow Potatoes 
with More Profit 
High labor costs and low yields cut big 
_, holes in the bag of potato profits. You 
can make the crop pay and pay big, 
if you reduce your costs and increase 
the bushels per acre. 
Old methods of planting, cultivating, spray¬ 
ing and harvesting are wasteful of time and 
labor, and do not insure a maximum yield. 
One day less in labor and 25 more bushels 
per acre can mean a difference between 
breaking even and making a big profit. Put 
your dependence on these successful,tried and 
trustworthy labor savers and crop increasers.

Will a One-horse Farm Pay? 
I am living on a small fruit farm, keep 
two horses, and use the usual two-horse 
implements (wagon, mower, disk harrow, 
etc.). I also have all necessary imple¬ 
ments for use with one horse, except 
mower and disk harrow. By keeping only 
one horse I can reduce expenses a great 
deal: and I can get in and around my 
fruit trees a great deal better with one 
horse and one-horse implements. The 
question is. merits and demerits of the 
one-horse field mower and one-horse disk 
harrow. I have been told one-norse mow- 
| ers pull so hard that no horse can stand 
them. I would not at the most have more 
than six to eight acres to mow at any one 
time, or over 15 acres to harrow. Of 
course I know with these machines it 
takes a great deal longer, but that is only 
secondary with me, the real question is: 
ean a good horse do good work with them 
and keep at it. all day? If you have had 
experience along this line kindly advise 
me. My place contains 82 acres. I know 
that with two horses a disk pulls hard 
and it can be set so that two horses can¬ 
not pull it for very long, also that I can¬ 
not keep two-horse implements and hire 
the other horse when needed. There is 
no alternative but beeping two horses 
and two-horse machines or one horse and 
one-horse machines. s. u. n. 
In this age. when most farmers are 
considering the tractor in their demand 
for greater power, it may seem strange to 
learn of a man who thinks of going back 
to one horse. Last year we heard from 
a man who planned to use one ox to plow 
and cultivate his small place. The ox 
would work the few cultivated acres, live 
on tin 1 few acres of pasture and pass on 
info beef when his working days were 
over. Practically all the machines oper¬ 
ated by two horses have one-horse sizes. 
They are hard to operate, but we have 
seen some of them at work. No one 
should try to run them with one light 
horse. It must he some big. powerful ani¬ 
mal or he will soon he worn out. With 22 
acres of laud there ought to he plenty of 
work for two horses yet such a farm could 
he arranged so as to have a few acres in 
fruit and the balance in grain or grass. 
In such a case one big horse could handle 
the work, but it is a great question 
whether it would pay. We know that 
there are a good many one-horse farmers 
who will read this. Will they not give 
advice and tell us how they manage?

Treating Potato Seed for Scab 
We deliver all our copies of R. N.-Y. 
to our friends all over the IT. S. A., so 
cannot refer to how to treat “seed” pota¬ 
toes for se;ii> ami other diseases. 
New City, N. Y. e. a. t. 
Surely when a friend makes such fine 
use of Tiik R. X.-Y. he is welcome to all 
we have. There are several methods of 
treating potato seed to prevent scab. The 
most common is to soak the seed two 
hours in a solution of formalin. One 
pint of formalin is dissolved in 80 gal¬ 
lons of water. The potatoes are first 
rinsed in clean water and then put in 
the solution. After two hours soaking 
they are taken out and dried. We would 
soak before the sprouts become too large. 
This treatment destroys the germs of the 
scab disease which may be on the seed. 
It will not prevent blight. Another treat¬ 
ment is to dissolve four ounces of corro¬ 
sive sublimate in 80 gallons of water and 
soak the seed in it for IVj hours. This 
not only destroys the scab germs, but 
also some other potato diseases. The 
corrosive sublimate is a poison and must 
ho handled with care. Wo believe in 
dusting the potato seed with powdered 
sulphur even after soaking it in these 
mixtures. 
Club-Root in Cabbage 
On page 474. under title “Club Root in 
Cabbage, “R” gets some dangerous ad¬ 
vice; that is. to watch the seedling plants 
and reject all that have bunches on the 
roots. If any of the plants have bunches 
the others from the bed will be very liable 
to develop it also, twen if they do not 
show it when transplanted. Some years 
ago the garden of a neighbor, who made 
a business of selling late cabbage plants, 
became infected, and he spread the disease 
to numerous other gardens by selling the 
plants that didn’t show it. although 1 
warned him of the danger. Rut he was 
05 and I was only 25, and so ho went 
ahead. We had it. too. from some early 
cabbage plants purchased on the market, 
but lime and no cabbage for several years 
stopped it. Wherever water from our
