THE FIRST AMERICAN CARDINAL
Cardinal John McCloslxey was seventy-six
years of age at the time of his death. He
was born in Brooklyn, y. y, March 10,
1910, of Catholic parents, whose devotion to
the church led them, to cross from Brook
lyn to New York for the purpose of attend
ing mass on Sunday mornings. Then there
was no Catholic Church in Brooklyn, and
there were only two in New York
As a school boy he is said to have
avoided the rough games OF his play
mates. and to have devoted himself TO
earnest study, almost invariably stand
ing at the head of his class. He studied the
ology in a seminary at Emmettsburg, Nd ),
and graduated from Mount 81. Mary Col
lege. His entire course of studies, from
1921, when he left home for school, until
1884, when he received the first orders of the
priesthood. was thirteen years. He was con-
secrated January l., 1884. and then went TO
Rome. From 1880 until 1897 he attended
lectures in the Gregorian University of that
city. After spending year in France he
returned to this country and was appoint
ed assistant pastor of St. Joseph's Church.
New York City. Six months afterward he
became rector. Bishop Hughes, in 1871,
nominated him First President of st. Johns
College, FOrdham; but in 1912 he resumed
The reclorship of st. Joseph's Church. On
November ~ 1913, he was appointed, at the
suggestion Of Bishop Hughes, his coadjutor,
and was ocu>ocrated with the title of Bishop
nf : e,e March 10, 1874. Bishop McCloskey
was nominated First Bishop of Albany, May
~ in the division of the diocese of New
York. which took place in 1877. After the
death of Archbishop Hughes, he was APP
pointed TO succeed him. May q, 1864.
He gave $4,000 from his private
purse toward the building of 1t. Patrick's
Cathedral, New York. which was begun
by his predecessor and to secure
material for which he visited Rome
in 1874. He was created Cardinal Priest,
March H. 1915. His administration as Arch
bishop has been energetic and successful.
The number of priests, churches and mem
bers of the Catholic Church has been vastly
increased under his prelacy. The Most Rev
erend Michael A. COrrigBn, Coadjutor Arch
bishop, Will succeed him as Archbishop.
His successor as Cardinal, should one be APP
pointed, is yet only matter of conjecture.
In appearance Cardinal McCloskey has al
ways been spare and thin and apparently
frail, but when in good health his chest was
full and the tones of his voice were clear
and far-reaching. Gentle, learned, pious,
and public spirited, he was respected by cit
zens generally, whatever their religious
opinions.

Beef or BntfPr.

correspondent to the Spirit of the
Farm writing of the cheapest factor for con
yerting vegetable matter into human food,
SAYS:
And this question has to be considered i'm
nearly all of our agricultural industries. And
prominent among these is the cattle interest.
And the question which suggests itself as to
this industry is, whether the beef strain or
the butter strain of cattle is the cheapest
factor for the conversion of vegetable matter
into human food? And that strain is pre-
ferable and more profitable, and consequent
most cheaply attain this end. And the
champions of either strain are requested
10 present their arguments pro and
con. A COW of tie butter strain that will
produce pound OF butter a day, or 80
pounds of butter a year, and at twenty
cents apOund, willbring S73; that is the
value of her product for one year, the but
termilk and her calf not taken into the estl-
mate. Charge grazing, hay and meal-what
will this be worth and deduct from gross
profit. A steer of the beef strain at three
years OF age is worth SEQ. Charge grazing,
hay, corn, etc, for three years and deduct
price OF these from the 500, and the remain
der will be the net profit. Not being Ia
miliar with the amount of food consumed
by either strain, or the value of either,
make no statement as to this point. But |
should like to see a statement by some per-
son familiar with the cost of both produc-
auctions, and then we should be near the
solution of the question rs to which is the
cheaper factor for the conversion of yegeta-
BILE matter into human food.

Harvesting PatatOes.
lChicago Tines

Ii is neither a difficult nor unpleasant task
to harvest potatoes on land that contains no
weeks nor grass. 1t is not necessary to do all
the work of removing the soil by hand. A
cultivatOr can be run between the rows so
that the outer teeth will remove the earth
from the outside of the hills or drills, leav-
ing nothing but narrow ridge to be broken
down. The cultivator will make wide,
smooth bed, on which the potatoes can be
sprad. If the potatoes are partially green,
many of the tubers will adhere to them when
they are pulled up. They can be shaken off
on the space between the rows and the tops
thrown i'll piles. The digger, with a
pull to pieces the narrow strip that
was left by the cultivator and throw
every potato on the smooth surface. There
they can remain until they are sufficiently
dry to be sorted and stored. They should
not remain in the sun longer than is neces-
sary for them to become tolerably dry, as
the sunlight Injuries their quality. If dug in
this way very few of the tubers will be cut
or otherwise injured. The few that are in
Jured, together with those that are ill-shaped
very small or covered with "scab'' or other
blemishes, should be kept by themselves and
fed to hogs or cattle. The best time to sort
potatoes is when they are taken from the
ground and lie where all their defects may
be clearly seen.
Digging potatoes should not be DELAYED till
after the heavy fall rains occur. 1t is diff
cult to secure clean tubers if the soil from
which they are taken is wet. The dirt will
adhere to them, even if much time is spent in
trying to remove it. 1t will injure their APP
Pearance and be likely to cause them to de-
cay. If potatoes are not dug till freezing
weather occurs some of the tubers will be
likely 10 be frostbitten, and if they are put
in bin with sound specimens. they will
cause them 10 decay. There is no advantage
in allowing potatoes To remain in the ground
after the tops are dead. They have then at
tanned their growth and have assumed the
conditions OF ripeness. They will keep best
If stored in cool, dark place, not subject to
changes OF temperature or degree of moist
ure. If placed where they become warm,
they are likely TO sprOut and become almost
useless for the table or for planting. The
plan of leaving potatoes in heaps in the field
for some time, and then removing them to a
pit or cellar, is very Objectionable Expos
ure 10 the sun Injuries them, and bruises are
the result of frequent handling

LIN Case of storm.

When storm is coming, don't wait for
rain before getting under cover, and don't
carry mettle tools when thunder sounds over
head. Better leave the hOeing and the hay
and get into safe quarters in time, and don't
sit in a barn in storm. Close the windows
of the house, let the fire go down and keep
ont of the room where there is a fire Sit in
the middle of the largest room you can
choose, away from stoves, stOve-pipeS pillars,
mirrors, iron chairs, registers or gas fixtures
let alone telephones or electric lights. In
a storm any of these things may conduct
lightning, and it is just as foolish to despiSe
these precautions rs to be careless about
loaded guns. At night draw the bed
out from the corner of the room as
far from the wall and chimney rs possible
Out of doors, keep away from walls, trees
streams or wells. and telegraph poles. Seek
shelter in an open hollow, or under bushes,
seeking the valley rather than the hilltops
or sides. You don't want To take chances
with lightning, but taking every caution
keep as free from fear as you can, for the
chances are in your favor. People who take
care OF themselves are not the ones who are
injured by lightning. The precautions are
condensed from good authority.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Ii Is wise, If you are going to put English
currants into cake TO dry them on cloth

A nice dish for breakfast or for tea is made

rub the potatoes through a course colander,
make into fiat cakes, dip into flour, and fry

To Remove Mildew.-Soap the linen, pre-

GERMAN POTATOES IN NEW
YORK.
No Bigger Than Walnuts and Sold at the
Rate of Five Cents a Pound.
Metropolitan Grocer.


1t may seem incredible to some of our
readers TO learn that potatoes are imported
from Germany into this country, than which
no other portion OF the globe has more agri-
cultural advantages, but such is the case.
Whether the potato grown in German soil
possesses any particular virtue not inherent
in the American-grOwn tuber is a question
we are not able to answer, but we do know
that certain classes of people, the world
over, deem imported foods of every sort far
superior to home products. In England
and France, for instance the label of an
American house claims the first cOnsidera-
tion of the epicure in search of some
thing extra nice, and from our foreign cor
respondents and personal observation we
learn that everywhere in Europe American
goods are found on sale IN immense quanti-
ties. On the other hand, il seems perfectly
natural, when we consider this vagary of
human nature, to find German potatoes and
a thousand other articles we might name, i'm
New York markets, with plenty of purchaS
ers in the bargain.
The particular German potato we have in
mind has only lauely gained a prominent
place on our list of imports. A few years
ago the receipts were from twenty-five to
fifty bags yearly. Last year over 900
bags OF German potatoes were sold in
New York City alone, and this season the
sales have already reached that figure,
showing II remarkably increase III tnelr con-
sumption. Noticing this increse, and desir-
ing to find out the cause OF their popularity,
We called upon an uptown grocer, who
serves very particular class OF trade, and
asked To see his German potatoes. He dis
played his samples upon a plate which held
a dozen or more tubers the size of a large
walnut. We were surprised TO learn that
this was the average size, and that in spite Of
the seeming disadvantage in this respect
the German potato was a favorite on the
tables of several of his wealthier Gus
toners. He sells them by weight, ut five
cents a pound. and buys them at three
cents by the single bag, or 2ls cents a pound
in ten bag lots. The bags will average about
100 pounds. Regarding The demand, he in
formed us that at present his sales are one
bag week, but during the winter season
from three to five bags. Curious to know
whether they were bought for any special
object, we were informed that they were
considered the finest potatoes for salad, and
are principally used for that purpose
Peeled and boiled in lard or butter, whole
without slicing, thew make a specially at
tractive dish. Boiled and served in their
peel, and eaten with little butter and salt,
they are delightful. Cooked this way, the
potato should be broken apart with the
hand, and not cut with knife.

The Wage Limit.

Boston herald
The Government census shows that the en-
tire people of the United States produce each
year what would be equivalent TO fifty cents
worth of wealth per day for each individual,
and, as the average family throughout the
United States is made up of five persons, the
average production for each family is equiv
alent i'm value TO 500 for each working day.
Those who obtain more than this amount do
so because others obtain less, for, if an equal
and fair division were, this is the largest
amount that any one one could possibly re-
ceive. Now, it is obvious that, if the work
ingmen OF the country banded together for
the purpose of demanding that every family
should receive s. day for its support, they
would be demanding an impossibility. If
by cutting down production less wealth was
produced, itwOuld maHifestly be impossible,
with fair proportionate division, for the
head of an average family 10 obtain the
equivalent of $3.50 per day. As there would
be less to divide, he and all Others would be
the losers by this subtraction. We do not
mean by this that il might not he desirable
to limit the hours of work, even at the ex-
psnse of this loss, for the moral, mental and
physical benefit of the wOrkingmen; but it
ought to be clearly understood that the
workingmen of the country will not grow
richer by such an operation.

Prepare Now for Eggs in Winter.

fFIOm the tdls
Those who have devoted much time and
attention 10 fowl farming know that, as a
rule. the earliest chickens make the best, the
finest and showiest birds. Thew know, too
that early chickens, if well cared for during
the summer, will commence 10 lay in the

If this be true, then we have to keep it
before Us and prepare for the work when the
time comes, for then is when fowl
farming is made to pay. Eggs now,
when eyerybodys hens are laying
are hardly worth the gathering and sending
OFF TO market as compared with the prices
winter eggs and spring chickens will bring.
Many young people on the farm can af-
ford TO devote little time and thought TO
such an enterprise as this, and make them
selves handsome sum every year. Many
who spend hours in comparative idleness
who never earned dollar in their lives or
enjoyed the felicity of spending their own
earnings just as they please, could 50 begin

them, train and domesticate them. Make
them TO know you. to follow you, and to do
pretty much as you please, and you will find
them profitable servants, and first-rate
friends and neighbors. BE very careful not
to overfeed, rather let them search for a liv-
ing, being sure. however, they do not suffer.
Prepare for them in the meantime a snug
and comfortable house in which to winter,
for at that season they are not inclined to
lay in a snowbank, nor sit under hedge
row. The house need not be an expensive
one but must have it facing south so as TO
catch all the sun possible. The warmer it
can be made the better, but it must be ven
rilated. With such an arrangement many
dozen of eggs may be obtained during the
winter that will sell at from twenty-five to
fifty cents per Dozen.
