Manure for Potatoes.

A fertilizer suited to any soil cannot
be prescribed without knowing the par
ticular needs of whatever soil it is ap-
piled to. In most cases, the most certain
and reliable fertilizer is good barn
manure properly applied the previous
years. Superphosphates do not always
pay cost, but if they have proved de-
cidedly useful on any soil, few hun
dred pounds may be applied to the acre.
In other instances ground bone, mixed
with moderately heating barn manure,
has proved beneficial on some land.
Nitrate of soda has greatly aided growth
on some soils, with no appreciable ben
eft on others. An extensive 1nanufact-
urer Of potato fertilizers assured us that
he could not recommend any for certain
named soils. Such special fertilizers
have sometimes given the largest known
potato crops in the country, but in many
cases they have produced comparatively
small ones. Every owner therefore must
experiment variously on his own land to
determine what is needed and to select
the best.-Country Gentleman.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1891-06-11

From experiments made at the Wis
consin station to ascertain the compare
tive loss in corn fodder when preserved
in the silo or by the ordinary method of
curing in the field, the results Of ten
trials during q period of three years ap-
pear to be narrowed down to this: The
loss of food materials in either system is
very considerable, and shows that fod-
ders cannot be preserved by any method
now known without their deteriorating
in value.
In the fodder corn as it is cut in the
fall there is a certain quantity of food
elements that may be preserved ir a sue
culent state in the silo, or cured and fed
to cattle as dry fodder. In either case
an equal quantity Of the food IN lterials
is destroyed, on an average about one
fifth. This loss being equal in either
case, the question Of which method Of
preserving fodder corn to adopt becomes
one of convenience and economy Of feed.
The value Of these feeding stufs was
about the same for milk and butter pro-
duction, hence it is concluded the adop-
ton or nOn-adoption Of the silo must be
decided on the score Of convenience. In
some localities the conditions may be
more favorable to the field curing sys-
tenn, while in others the uncertainty of
weather, the cheapness of lumber or the
severity OF winter may speak strongly in
favor Of the system of ensiling the fod-
der corn

How Jane Studied Grammar.

1t is pathetic sight TO watch the me-
andering Of the childish mind through the
intricacies of English grammar. Little
Jane had been repeatedly reproved for
doing violence to the moods and lenses
of the verb "to be-" She would say ~
be" instead of 'T am" and for time it
would seem as il no one could prevent it.
Finally Aunt Kate made a rule not to
answer an incorrect question, but to wait
until it was corrected. One day the two
sat together, Aunt Kate busy with en-
broidery, and little Jane over her dolls.
Presently doll society became tedious, and
the chiid's attention was attracted to the
embroidered frame.
"Aunt Kate" said she, "please tell me
what that is going to be-" But Aunt Kate
was counting and did not answer. Fatal
word, bel It was her old enemy, and to it
alone could the child ascribe the silence
that followed. Aunt Kate" she persist
ed, with an honest attempt to correct her
mistake, ''please tell me what this is going
to am?"
Still auntie sat silently counting, though
her lip curled with amusement.
Jane sighed, but made another patient
effort. "Will you please tell me what
there is going to are" Aunt Jane count
ed on, perhaps by this time actuated by a
wicked desire to know what would come
next. The little girl gathered her energies
for one last and great effort, and said,
Aunt Kate, what am that going to are"

so that there will be two apartments on
the right of the ones here shown which
would be exact duplicates thereof BY
this arrangement only one-half Of the stair
way is shown, and only one water closet
and ash chute. Thus in Il four-story struct-
ure there would be two shops or stores in
the first story and twelve apartments above.
There is an approach to the rear stairway
from the front and door opening TO the
back yard. Sometimes an entire square is
taken up with a building arranged on this
plan in this way affording economical ac-
commodatious for a large number Of peo-
Pile.
The secret OF the comfort which is ap-
parently afforded by one of these apart
ments lies in the fact that there Is a place
for everything within narrow compass.
For this reason very little labor is required
in housekeeping. A very small part OF the
energy required to care for larger apart
ment in a very ordinary way will keep such
q one as is here indicated in a very neat
condition.
On entering one of these rooms on a win
ter day one sees an open fire, n mantel with
white enameled tile facing, neat shelf
and what appears to be bric-a-brac ar
ranged on the top thereof and on a little
sub-shelf below.
In one that have in mind there was a
neat clock in the center; a little cabinet box
with'Chree apartments, such as one may
sec in many parlors, at one side, and on the
other decorated vase and cup. Below on
another shelf were arranged some plates,
two of them blue and three others quietly
decorated. And yet below this was little
pitcher. This, instead of being CRATE and
mantel of the ordinary type, was Il range.

cessed, and the recessed parts above the

The Human Form.

The ancient Greeks, we arc told, made
all their statues representing human fig
ures by the measurements here given:
From the crown to the nape of the neck is
one twelfth the stature of u perfectly formed
man. The hand, from the wrist 10 the end
of the middle finger, is one-tenth of the
total height. A man OF good proportion is
as tall rs the distance between the tips OF
his fingers when both arms are extended
to full length.
The face, from the highest point Of the
forehead, where the hair begins, to the end
of the chin, is one-tenth of the whole
stature. If the face, from the roots of the
hair to the chin, be divided into three equal
parts, the first division determines the
place where the eyebrows should meet, the
second the opening Of the nostrils. The
proportions of the human figure are six
times the length of the right foot. Wheth-
er the form is slender or plump. the rule
holds good, on an average. Any deviation
from the rule is departure from the beau
ty of proportion.

THE WoNDERFUL FIHEpLACE.

Sange were lined with blue and white til
ng. The heat and odors Of cooking passed
out through ventilator at the top, which
,ould be opened and closed at will. The
plates, cups, etc., instead Of being mere
articles of ornament, as usually found in
parlors, had their use in the every day culi-
nary operations.
Next to the range was a little pantry
with white porcelain sink, wooden
table and hooks around the wall for'uten-
sils, shelves on the other side for supplies
and below a galvanized lined iron recep-
tacie for fuel. The walls of the apartment
were provided with shelves, Under one
window was box TO form seat, The
beds were set in an alcove, and we'll
equipped closet was provided. Each apart
ment has its distinct entry from the hall.
On each entry door was a brass plate with
the name of the occupant, and above a
knocker-all Of which gave an air Of re-
spectability and character which does not
usually belong to tenement property.
In each hall in the plan given is arranged
q closet for fuel There are two water
closets on each floor. In the basement on
attic Is usually arranged laundry, to be
used by the occupants of all the flats in
each section of twelve apartments Each
one has her time assigned for its use, and
Is expected to leave it in good order for the
next occupants. Assignments are alto
made for the cleaning OF the halls, which,
being small, is not q laborious task. Light
in the halls Is provided by the owner of the
property.

ter which visited the interior Of all the

Rges was lined with glazed brick and

crete. The floors of the living apartment

Tho Barber's Pole.

Inter-Ocean has the following to say on
the origin of the barber's pole: In medieval
times BARRIERS served the public also in the
capacity of surgeons, and especially per-
formed the act of bleeding. In this opera
ton staff was held by the person being
bled, and fillets or bands were of course
necessary for binding the arm after bleed
ing. When the staff was not in use the
flllet was tied on it, that both might be
ready for use when wanted, and it was Gus
tomary for BARRIERS to hang the two to-
gether at their doors for a sign where the
very necessary surgeon could be found.
At length, instead of hanging out the
staff used in the operation, a pole was
painted with stripes in imitation of the
staff and bandage, and thus used as a
sign. 1t is said that there was an ancient
statute decreeing that BARRIERS, when they
pursued no other trade, were to use a blue
and white pole, striped, but that when they
also followed the profession of surgeon
they must use a red stripe also. The last
barber surgeon of London is said to have
died there in 1921.

A HOMEMADE SWARMlNG APPARATUS,
Many times bees light high, or on
fruit or ornamental trees that we do not
wish to injure by cutting the limb off.
In such u case some kind Of q swarming
apparatus is very convenient. The one
here reproduced from Ohio Farmer is
made from long forked stick. Bend the
forks together in the shape of hoop,
and just large enough to 60 in large
coffee sack (Or other open material that
will not smother the bees, then fasten it
in the mouth Of the sack. Bend the stick
near the fork. For convenience cut the
stick in two near the fork, and fasten the
two parts together again, so they can be
easily taken apart. This makes a very
good swarming arrangement. 1t is very
cheap, light and convenient, says the au-
thority quoted.
Shake the bees from the limb into the
sack, turn it over, and no bees can es-
cape; carry them to the hive; take the
cover Off and gently lay the sack on top
of the frames, SO the bees can crawl out
of the sack down into the hive. Some
times a swarm win leave their new home.
To make q sure thing of their staying,
give them a comb containing brood and
honey from the parenthive. Ihave never
had swarm to leave when thus treated.
In hiving q swarm on empty frames
we do not mean that they are strictly
empty, but frames that have "starter"
in them, which is narrow strip of founda-
ton about an inch wide, fastened in the
center of the underside Of the top bar,
and on the same principle that founda-
ton is fastened in section boxes. This
serves as a comb guide, and we get the
combs built just where we want them.

PUBLIC HOUSE SIGNS.

Few OF the Many Amusing signs TO
he Found on English Inns.
From an English directory have been
CLEANED few notes on the signs OF hotels
and inns, and, first, we have found several
"Rising Suns" but no Setting Sum-"
Then we meet with "Schoolboy," but no
"Schoolmaster." As to numbers, we come
across "Two Dutchmen," Three Legs"
"Four Ashes, ""Five Alls, ""Six Ringers"
"Seyen Stars" "Twelve O'Clock" and
Thirteen Bells"
The "New Inn" appears great many
times. The "New Dusty Miller" also turns
up, but an "Old Inn" we have not met
with. "Old Barrels" we have eucouss-
tered, "Old Hats, "Our Old Crown" and
the "Old Cock" What "Old Number One"
means ve leave our young readers to inn
agine, but an "Old Mower" we can all
picture to ourselves, also an "Old Moor
cock" and an "Old White Horse" An
"Old Red Pump" we should take to be
temperance hotel "The Brave Old Oak'
surely goes TO the hearts of all, and so does
"The Old House at Home" and not less
"The Warm Hearthstone."
The prettiest Of all the signs we have
noticed is, perhaps, '"rhe Bunch ofRcses,"
though some may fancy "The Eagle and
Child" better, or "The Babes in the Wood"
If you are a poet aud want inspiration
you can sip your ale under the Shakes
peare," the Milton" or even the mount
Parnassus.' II you are nautical you can
visit the "Ship," or her "Keel," or If you
| are inclined for fun there are the Jolly
| Sailors" If very ancient mariner there
| is the "Noahs Ark" at your service, or the
"Dove and Rainbow"
The sporting tastes of England come out
strongly in the inn signs, especially, per.
haps, in the West Riding Of Yorkshire,
| where there are "Racehorses," "Hares and
| Hounds" Horses and Grooms," Grey
| hounds, )" "Dogs and Guns, "The Saddle"
"The Mare and Foal," and such like in
| abundance. The clergyman can enter the
"Mitre," the Church Steps, or the Lamb
| and Flag" Colors play great part in the
| signs of these inns. White is the favorite;
| white hartS, white horses, white swans;
| yea, even white lions abound. Black stands
| next in the race; then come red and bay,
| blue, gray, brown, green and yellow. The
| browns are all cows but one, and the yell
| lows are all lions. The bull is often black,
| but he is never white, nor blue, nor green,
/ nor yellow; but he is fond of allying him
| self with other people, and he sometimes is
| in partnership with a bell, or n dog, a
| mouth, or a sun.
The sign of the Bull and Butcher" has,
| they say, a story attached to it which is Of
some interest, When Anna Boleyn was
| put to death by her husband, Henry VIII,
| one of her friends set up public house
| under the sign of the "Boleyn Butchered. 4"
This continued until the days of Queen
| Elizabeth, who induced mine host in each
case to alter the sign to the Bull and
Butcher" The story flew about, and many
| loyal publicans sold aleunder the signal Of
/ the "Bull and Butcher"

Nscessitx of Changing Seed,

Farmers should never forget the great
necessity Of changing seed once in three
years. Seed from an adjoining farm is
good, from another county Is better.
Last year Michigan farmer got dozen
bushels of potatoes from New York, and
planted in the same field with some Of
his own raising an equally fine appear
ing tuber of like sort, and the result was
shown by a yield more than double of
the home seed under identical conditions.
