Potato Seed.

A farmer planted in hi, garden ten
rows of Irish potatoes, each row con.
sisting of four hills. His object was to
ascertain the amount of planting ma

suits. Here is the result:
First Row-One eye in each hill.
Product, forty pounds of well-devcl-
oped potatoes.
Second Row-Two eyes in each hill.
Product, fifty pounds of tubers, rather
mixed rs TO size.
Third Row-Three eyes in each hill
Product, fifty-siX pounds of mixed sizes

Fourth Row Seed end of medium

Sixth Row--One small potato. Pro

In most farmers gardens tomato
plants are on soil so rich that they grow
an unwieldly mass of vines, and the

too much growth pinch the shoots

Feathers and Flowers.

Very full tips have taken the place of
long ostrich plumes this season and
they are arranged in pompons with
aigrettc center. Some of the tips have
shaded or colored edges, but generally
they are in some one famed shade.
Pretty but expensive pompons are
with curls of gold or silver, twisted
others are tipped with beads or with
pearls, and curious butterflies are made
of some bright or sombre colored bird
feathers, with border of peacock eyes
or the lustrous feathers of the hum

Chenille ornaments are in all tones
of all colors and are made to represent
cat-tails, mushrooms, wheat, immor-
telles and chestnut burrs, and are clus-

orally an aigrette in the midst.

And gave INC the glimpse of n ring;

And the biscuits were out in minute

We were standing under the plum-trec,
And Richard said something low,
But was tired and Mustered,
And trembled, almost know:
For old Red lie the hardest of mixers,
And Brindle's SO horribly slow.

And we two stood under the pum-tree
Till the chickens flew mp to bed.
Well, he loved me, and we're TO be married.

That he sought in all directions for cure is

THE FOREIGN ELEMENTS IN OUR

AS the grand mass OF immigration has
come since the year 1920, the numbers
of the foreign element in the first and
second degrees may be estimated with
approximate accuracy from the number
of persons of foreign birth and parentage
given in the census returns of 1880.
While 10, 138,75S immigrants had landed
in the United States from 1929 to the
middle of 1880, there were in the coun-
try, in 1880, 1895, 996 persons of foreign
birth or having one parent foreign born.
If from this sum we take SO, 252, the
surprisingly large number of persons of
foreign birth having both parents born
in the United States, who are for all the
purposes of this study natives we have

second degrees of 14,922.744, of whom
6,679, 943 were foreign born. This mum
Der still does not represent quite all the
new element, since a large number of
small children figuring in the census of
1880, must have had parents of the
younger generation of the new popula.
ton born upon our SOIL There is no
record of these third-degree foreigners, of
course, and we must proceed without
regard to them, simply assuming that the
figures relating to the old stock embrae e

large, who belong to the new We may
judge of the relation in which this mass
of people of foreign birth and parentage
stands to the population which we are
