The pigs will regulate their doses. Prof.
Turner of Jacksonville, ILL.,, has been
successful with this preventive, rs origin.
ally composed by him.
These points as to his method are
given by farmer who knows how to
raise 400 bushels of potatoes to the acre:
Rich. light soil; pillow deep early in
spring; plant fifteen inches apart; cover
four inches deep, or more; keep down
the weeds, but TO not work the ground
after potatoes begin to bloom. The
main secret, he says, is in selecting the
seed. He always cuts off the blossom
end. One eye will yield more potatoes
than two
The time to pick duck feathers, like
fruit. is when they arc ripe. This NAV
be learned by catching two or three and
pulling few feathers hero and there.
If they pull hard and the quilts are filled
with a bloody fluid they are not ripe;
but if they pull easy and the quilts are
clear you may know that it is the "best
time to pick" Ducks may be picked
four times year. Never pluck the
long tufts of coarse feathers on the sides
that support the wings.
The Sweet Pepper (Clethra Alnifolia)
is neat upright growing shrub. with
light green leaves, fine white flowers,
and has n delightful fragrance. 1t is a
native of the New England States, and
has for several years attracted the atten-
ton of bcekeepers rs a shrub to furnish
bees with honey at time when flowers
are scarce. II can be successfully trans
planted. and will grow on all soils, from
gravelly loan to black peat, as well as
lime or slate soils.
Success in Horticulture depends vastly
more on the care bestowed on the plants
than on large amount of money ex-
pended. Yet for all this many people
will yearly spend great deal of money
on high-priccd and rare plants, after
ward giving them no attention. A bed
of gcraniums, petunias, lantanas and
other easily grown plants, if well cared
for, will be more satisfactory than rare
plants which require the care and at
tentiOn OF an expert gardener.

The government has gone into the
work of education, not-for the welfare
of individual citizens, but in order to
perpctuate its own existence. Our form
of government is the strongest in the
world with an intelligent citizenship: it

Popular governments based on univer-

the ballot is controlled by intelligence.

If, therefore. we give one thought to

by also training its students for that
struggle, then practical instruction in
science and the arts will be willingly
substituted in the high schools for the

THE BELFAST RIOTS.

The Fighting Attended by Great Loss OF
Life and Property - Eleven Persons
Killed, and Over One Hundred
Wounded.
BELFAST Aug. 10.-During the rioting
which occurred here from Saturday even
ing to an early hour yesterday morning,
eleven persons were killed and 100 serious
ly wounded. The majority of the in
iured persons have shot wounds. The
rioting was rene.ed yesterday, and a
fierce encounter took place between the
soldiers and the mob, in which a number
were wounded. A soldier at close quar-
ters fired at a boy SCATTERING his hand.
The soldier was arrested. Reinforcements
OF troops to the amount of 1920 arrived
in Belfast yesterday.
The city, owing to the wreck and ruin
of houses, presents a deplorable aspect.
Its appearance is similar 70 that of Paris
after the Commune. 1t is feared that nu-
merous deaths resulting from the riots
b ave taken place. which will never be
heard of. The hospitals are taxed to
the utmost to accommodate the great
number of wounded persons in
need OF attendance. painful feature OF
the riots is the plumber OF children wounded.
Sunday boy was shot while returning
from Sunday-school. Yesterday a little
girl was shot on the streets, and it is
thought fatally wounded. She was car
ried away apparently liieless. Train-Ioads
OF troops are constantly arriving. There
are now $500 extra militia and police
quartered in the town and more are com
ing. Its expected that martial law will
be proclaimed.
