Potato Growing.

A point in potato growing that ! am
fully settled on is that the best way to
keep of the Colorado beetle is by hand
picking. says . writer In the Ohio Farm
err. 1t is not only far less work, but
cheaper and surer. 1t is heavy work to
go over potato field with watering pots
and sprinkle the poisoned water over
the vines, and II o heavy rain follows in
q day or two the work must be done
over again; but If you begin soon enough
it takes but \ short time to 60 over an
acre and pick of all the old beetles. and
then you have no young ones. The time
to begin is just as soon as you can see TO
follow the rows; perhaps not half the
potatoes are up, but don't wait for them
to come up; get the early bugs first
You will have no trouble to see them.

beetles are not too plenty. think we

time we went over ours. Go over them
every third day until you find that they
are SO scarce that it does not pay. Or

will be sufficient, but 60 oftencr IT no.

might in time exterminate them, ii we
WOULD. faithfully follow this plan. and l
am encouraged by the fact that we only
picked about half as many to the acre
this year as We did last, and that our
potatoes show very much fewer young
beetles this year than last

THE OLD TRAMP.

Bessie Was Sorry for Him Because HI

Great fakes of snow were falling soft
~ to the ground. Bessie stood watching
them from the window. Size was alone
in the kitchen. Mamma had gone up
stairs to make the beds, and the pretty
rag doll lay neglected on the floor
Suddenly Bessie heard sound at the
back door.

said. sweetly.

fire.
Bessie sat down opposite him on hel
little stool. She waited for the old mar
to speak, but he did not.
Finally she said: please, sir. are
you tramp?'
The old man smiled. "Ycs," he said

"A little" said the tramp.

She opened the door and stood still.

BESSIE ran to her, saying: please
mamma, he is very poor, and was cold
and hungry"
The old man turned around AND
then, what do you think! mamma went
right up and kissed him.
BESSIE looked very sober. She didn't
think it was quite right to kiss tramp.
Won't you kiss me, too?" asked the

the lame old man stood up very
