At the recent meeting of the Ohio State Horticultural Society, Frank Ford, who is quite an expert in potato culture (hav- ing as many as 200 varieties under culti- vation when was there two years ago) told the assembled horticulturists that IS rule potatoes that are great yielders are of coarse texture and inferior quality; earliness and fine quality usually go with a light yield. Soils also have much to do with quality; light, loamy or sandy soils will give more dry and mealy potato and one of better quality than will deep, rich moist soil, even when the same va riety is planted in both cases.-[J. H. Hale in Courant.

Sister Therese, ,who lately died in Mon- treal, was one of the most noted women in Canada. She was one of the two nuns who, in the endeavor to relieve the spiritual and temporal wants of the in- dians in the far West, went in 1852 on horseback nearly to the Pacific coast, where no white woman had ever been before In 1857 she founded an asylum at Valparaiso for abandoned children in 1866, she was brought back to Mon- treal and made general treasurer of her order. She laid the foundations of the great insane asylum that was burned last year, and she was, until her death, Mother Superior of this establishment.

David B. Hill is man 49 years of age, of medium height and compact, square shouldered figure. His complexion is waxen pale. His head is round like a bullet, shiny bald like tonsured monk and is well set on a rather thick neck, which is scared on one side by gash given years ago by an infuriated caller. His eyes are faded, bluish gray, deep set and close to the nose. They are restless, glitterng, cunning eyes that cannot en- dure steady gaze. Under the direct look, even of a casual caller, they uneas- fly wander from point to point, as if con- sciously unwilling that their depths should be explored. These crafty eyes and the sinister expression about the base of his nose and corners of his mouth con- vey an impression at the first meeting to keen observer distinctly disagreeable.

Eggs are largely formed of the surplus heat power retained in the body and, if the hens are kept in cold house, there must be great loss from the reserve store of each bird and, consequently, the abil- ity to produce eggs is lessened by so much. There are, of course, some varie- ties better able to withstand cold than others, but the best clad fowl must lose more heat, if it is housed under such con- ditions that if it were protected against cold when on the roost. During the day it can keep itself warm if properly fed, but at night there is no motion and the blood does not circulate actively. Food in Winter must be abundant, as the ap- petite is then keener, through greater demands on the system and more rapid loss of heat. It should be good, more starchy than in Summer and, when the ground is hard and the fowls cannot ob- tain natural food, such as worms, the ad dition of a little cooked meat is most inn portant. There can be no question that hot meals will do much to fill the egg basket during the colder months.

If the prevailing winds in New Eng land in Winter were southeast, instead of northwest, the climate would be equal to that of the Azores islands, mild and balmy. The Gulf Stream is in it's place ready to give off the heat and moisture to the air whenever the demand is made for it, but, by the cratic movement of the air, this heat and moisture may be delivered at unexpected times and sea- sons and thus giyerise to the erroneous belief that the Gulf Stream itself has gone astray.-[ John Elliott Pillsbury in February Century.
