Northern Potatoes for Seed.

AS a rule, the potatoes, grown far
north are best for seed. The reason is
presumably they have grown in a
shorter season, are less advanced to-
ward drying out when harvested, and
in a cooler climate will not start to
grow in winter, thus injuring the eyes

wind and the spider are in partner
ship when bridge is to be built. The
spider furnishes from his own body
the silken strand and fastens his end
of it; the wind takes the other end
and carries it across stream, perhaps
across road, thirty or forty feet wide.
If by chance a spider falls into the
water far from land, it is sure to
find some clever way of reaching
shore. The spider may walk on the
water, or, if there is breeze, he may
sail ashore. If he happens to find
something floating, he will make life
boat of. it. 1t does not take long to
cover the floating straw, or seed, or
whatever it may be, with net and
thereby make of 1t beautiful silken
raft.
l send you a drawing showing a
spider which was dropped into the wa
ter, near the silken ball of cocoon.
The spider at once threw strands
across the ball and attached herself to
it. Lazily and gently the silken buoy
bobbed across the surface of the water.
and, with the winds help, cocoon and
spider were soon safe ashore.-Mere-

she recalled this scene, that her grace
