Improving tho Potato.

Probably no vegetable 10 of moro i'm
portancein the world than the potato.
Therefore, whatever can be done to in
crease its productiveness or to improve
its quality should be taken advantage of
by all who are interested in it's cultiva-
walton. There is no Disgusting the fact
that the potato, when propagated year
after year from tubers in the usual man
ner, is subject to decoration, deeenera'
ton, or a continual running out" of it's
prod uctive capacities. Where are our
Flukes, Cow horns, MERGERS, Neshan-
nocks. Peachblows and other standard
varieties of twenty-five years ago?
Meager, indeed, are the returns from
our old favorites. Their day has passed
and others have taken their places, and
these in turn must give way to others
when they become unproductive, as
they certainly will; but yet there are
farmers in my neighborhood who still
cling to some of these old varieties, ap-
parently through .contrariness." The
odore Neff, in Rural New Yorker.

Halter Breaking Horses.

There is remedy to prevent horse
of the bad habit of pulling back when
tied up so as to smash his halter or bri-
die. A half:inch rope passed around
the shoulders and along the back and
under the tail; the halterstrap is run
through ring on the rope at the front
OF the shoulders, and then it is attsched
to the post or manger; short piece of
strap is used to fasten together and hold
up the two parts Of the rope that pass
along the back. When the horse pulls
upon the halter, severe pressure is
brought to bear on the crupper, making
the animal jump forward, and after he
has made two or three trials he gives in
and abandons his habit.

Worry Is the great American dis

dingy windows and see palaces. Push,
pluck, and stick-to-itiveness will reach
across some few years, and hand them
the keys of the palace. Before youth
is out of his short clothes he wants an
ermine. He rushes into business life
with the fierceness of Jobs war horse.
He assumes responsibilities, he accepts
dangerous risks, he speculates on almost
futile chances. There is no peace, no
rest, no content. They all 60 storming

their heels. On their onward course to
the reckoning god on Fame's misty,

The Profit of Farming,

twenty per cent. is small return
for money well invested in farm
and stock: 5000 for $1,000 or $4,000
for $4,000 is very common income
from a well conducted farm, and
there are abundant opportunities for
doing better than that. Many farm
er has gone West and has bought
land which has paid him 100 per
cent. for several years. Hop-grow-
ers, fruit-growers, poultrymen, bee
keepers, and even dairymen some
times make 100 per cent. profit, and
rarely make less than % or 80 per
cent. Let farmer sell his farm for
$4,000 and put it in a 20 per cent.
mine, and get $4,000 a year income.
He rents house, buys his provisions
and his fuel. hires a horse or carriage
when he wants to go out, and at the
end of the end of the year he will
find his income quite insufficient to
keep him in the comfort he enjoyed
on his farm, while all the time the
mine is being worked out, and some
day he is told "the bottom has fell
out of it," and he finds all his money
has fallen out with the bottom of his
mine. No certain, sure and perma-
nent Investment except a farm can
be expected to pay more than FIVE
per cent. nowadays, and all above
that has a proportionate element of
risk in it. But what risk is there
about farm that is free of debt?
The bottom never falls out of that.
and one may securely enjoy it as long
as he lives, and leave it to his chill
dren. knowing that a thousand years
hence the soil will still be returning
its generous dividends.
