The Potato Glut.

A Verona, Wis, letter to the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat says AT this
season of the year there were never so
many potatoes in the hands of the
farmers as at present, several having
from 1000 to 5000 bushels, which
they are holding for spring markets,
which is destined to be very low.
In the north of Wisconsin potatoes
have been sold as low as Is cents per
bushel, delivered at the depot. 1t can
not be otherwise than that early pc.
tatoes will be very low. .
In August last | saw potatoes sold
out of the commission houses in Mil
waukee for 81 per barrel. leaving a
very low margin after deducting price
of barrel, transportation and commits.
sion. In the northern part of Michi'
gan and Wisconsin the soil of those
pine lands is sandy and better adapted
to potatoes than to any other CROP and
the acreage next season will be very
large, and during my travels
through Minnesota, iowa, Kansa and
Nebraska the new settlers from the
East that have been in the habit Of
raising potatoes are going to plant
largely, owing to the cheapness Of cul.

The trade in coins at a premium is
much larger than most people owning
them are aware Of, as the following
enumeration, from an exchange shows:
The silver dollar of 1894, with flowing
hair, is worth SIS. The silver dollar
of 1904 is worth 5000 to $7O0-one
was sold for $2,400. The silver dollar
of 1888 is worth SIS. The half dol
lars of 1894 are worth $25; Of 1896,
$50; of 1897. $40; of 1886, with milled
edge, 50. An original half-dOllar
struck by the Confederate States in
1861 is worth 5000. The quarterdollar
Of 1906 is worth 81; of 1928 and
1923, $15; of 1853, fifty cents The
dimes OF 1896 are worth fifty cents;
of 1897, 1898. 1900, 1902, 1903, and
1904, 81 each. In some cases there
have been different issues of the same
coin in the same year. One issue may
be rarity and the other plentiful.
The only way to determine the value is
to see what the piece will sell for. Of
half~dimes, an issue Of 1894 is worth
81. of 1895, 1897, 1901, 1904, and
1905, 81 each. The most valuable
half.dime is of the issue of 1902, which
is. worth $15.75. Three.cent silver
pieces from 1853 to 1868 are worth
twenty-five cents each. Those of Is.
70 are worth sixty cents each, Of the
famous liberty pennies there are many
varieties, and their value varies from
ten cents to $40, according to the per-
fectness of the stamp. The are several
kinds of the issue of 1893. One has
flowing hair, and the reverse has a
chain with thirteen links. Another
kind has a liberty-cap and wreath on
the reverse. Another kind has aliber-
ty.cap and a wreath Of a different de-
vice. The rarest nickel penny is the
eagle of 1856, which is worth fifty
cents. The newspapers made so much
fun of the device that it was withdrawn
from circulation very soon, and is now
scarce. The most valuable half-cent is
the issue of 1876, which Is worth s..
The half,cent issues of 1886, 1915,
1S47. and 1852, are worth 81 each.
The half-cent issues of 1881, 1341,
1874, and 1916 are worth 81 each. The
half.cents of 1910, 1912, 1916, and
1913 are worth $3.50 each. Many
American gold pieces are worth more

When Men are at Their Best.

The Growing World.
DR.. Beard states that from an analy-
sis of the lives OF thousand represen
tative men in all the great branches of
the human family, he made the dis.
covery that the golden decade was be-
tween 40 and so; the brazen between
20 and 30; the iron between so and
60. The superiority Of youth and
middle life over old age in original
work appears all the greater when we
consider the fact that all the positions
of honor and prestage, professorships
and public stations, are in the hands Of
the old. Reputation, like money and
positions, is mainly confined to the old.
Men are not widely known until long
after they have done their work that
gives them their fame. Portraits Of
great men are delusions statues are
lies They are taken when men have
become famous which on the average
is twenty-five years after they did
their work which gave them their
fame. Original work requires enthu-
siasm. If all the original work done
under 45 were annihilated, they would
be reduced to barbarism. Men are at
their best when enthusiasm and ex.
perience are almost evenly balanced.
That period on the average is from 80
to 40. After this the law is that ex.
perience increases but enthusiasm de-
creased.

Training Farmers Sons.

The grandest product of the farm
according to Sanger's journal, is the
boys and girls. In every avenue of
life where thrift, capacity and energy
are required. the man who pushes to
the front is the son of the farmer. He
has the intelligence. There is sort Of
broad common sense running through
his acts. He has a constitution that
can endure labor. 1t is notable fact
that in the colleges of our country the
best students are boys from the farm.
In the workshops, in the halls of legis
lation, at the bar, in the forum, in the
pulpit, ninety-nine hundreths of the
men who stand upon the summit were
once boys on the farm. They were
barefooted, wore patched clothes, and
worked for their bread. Almost one
half of the people in this country reside
in town. Where are the town boys in
the race of life? Pooling, curling their
hair, polishing their boots, while the
rough country boy is ploughing bare.
footed along the road to fame. With
book under one arm and few extra
clothes in his hand, be passes the ele-
CANT home fthe town boy, and he
looks in ON ease aud luxury almost for
the first time. He may be called a
tramp, and be refused a crust of bread;
one day he will return and buy that
mortgage,covered house Where did
that boy get his noble purpose and his
unfalteriug courage? They were born
to him on the farm; they we're woven
into his fibre by early years of toll !;
the warp and woof of his life were
threads ofgold.

than their face. The 500 of 1S49 is
worth $50. All the $40 gold issues
from 1895 to 1901 are at a premium
of % cents to 81. The price varies
according to the coinage, with the
large or small eagle used in the mint
in those years. One stamp of So gold
coin Of 1851 is worth $25. A SO gold
piece of 1876 is worth 81. Many of
the quarter eagles are at premium Of
fifty cents to 81. A 81 gold piece of
1876 sells for So. The new nickel
without the word 'cents" is fast dis.
appearing from circulation, and after
awhile will be worth a premium.

Curing Meat.

Once year, "since Adam was a
yearling," or less triAe, perhaps, the
veteran editor of the Germantown Tele.
graph has told his readers how to cure
meat. As no one yet seems to i'm.
prove upon the method we will repeat
it. 80 one gallon of water, take one
and one half pounds of salt, one,half
pound of sugar, one-half ounce of salt
petre, one,half ounce of. potash. In
this ratio the pickle can be increased
to any quantity desired Let these be
boiled together until all the dirt from
the sugar rises to the top and is skim
med of. Then throw it into tub to
cool, and when cold, pour it over your
pork or beef. The meat must be well
covered with pickle, and should not be
put down for at least two days after
killing, during winch Tune 1t should be
slightly sprinkled with powdered salt
petre, which removes ali surfaced blood,
etc., leaving the meat fresh and clean
Some omit boiling the pickle, and find
it to answer well, though the opera
ton of boiling purifes the pickle by
throwing off the dirt always to be
found in salt ard sugar. If this re
ceipt is strictly followed, it will require
only a single trial to prove its superb
Ority over the common ways or most
ways of putting down meat"

HARVEST HOME FESTIVAL.
An Enjoyable Evening at ST. Matthews
Sunday school.

A very beautiful and interesting enter
tainment was last night given at the Sun
day school room of st. Matthew's church.
1t was harvest home festival, given to
celebrate the successful garnering OF the
general crop. The room was handsomely
and artistically decorated with shocks OF
corn and wheat, heavily laden grape vines,
besides other appropr'se representatives
OF the crop. The chief decoration, how
ever, was the crowd OF merry young
people-and older oRes-with their fresh
faces and bright hued garments. A
programme bad been prepared and was
successfully carried out 1t opened with
an entertainment under direction OF Mrs.
