CHAPTER IL

Mr.. Newton was met as he entered the
parlor by his wife's gentle "home well
come" and an affectionate greeting from
his son. Then, after a few moments
general conversation, he said:
81 know you are waiting anxiously to
hear the results of this days delibera-
tions, and feeling full confidence in your
courage to meet and endure bravely any
adverse circumstances 1 come without
hesitation directly to the fact that we are
compelled to give up our business and
close the store. You, my dear Lucy,
were prepared to expect this when we
parted this morning, but regret that

But, my son, let not your heart be
troubled We have strength and ener-

days, If need be. and it will be much
easier than when we first began, for now
we have cheerful lads and merry lassies,

hearts and hands, but sunshine and glad

less prominent position than to live sur

pomp and show.
"These cares and anxieties are to me
far more wearing than our first simple
country home, and in this feeling your
father fully sympathizes. Yet for our
children it has had its peculiar advan-
tages, and we have accepted the trust
with grateful hearts for their sakes. IL

world calls lower position, you under

In growing potatoes for market size is a
desideratum and the effort of the grower
must be directed rather toward securing a
fair" crop Of large sized potatoes than a
larger crop OF small potatoes Usually
there Is more profit in sixty or seventy
bushels Of uniformly large potatoes than
there is in three times the quantity Of small
ones. Oftentimes there is no sale for the
latter for table use at any price.
IL Is large potatoes that one must aim for
II potato growing would be made profitable
Our truckers who have had several years
experience in growing and shipping pota-
toes have come to q knowledge of the sev-
eral factors that enter into sue oessful potato
culture. IL will save the beginner loss If he
is guided by the experience attained by those
who went before him. The several require
ments may be stated under heads: Oh Use
a variety Of potato that is popular In the
market when he expects to sell. q In pur-
chasing or saving seed procure
those that are smooth and free
from scab and are of a uni
form shape and size as possible. In cutting
the potatoes for planting slice off the seed
| end, which contains numerous eyes and lay
aside to plant the plat for raising the seed
potatoes for the fall crop. The middles and
stem end of the potato make the largest
potatoes. Cut these parts into pieces with
two eyes each, and drop them at least
| eighteen inches apart in the row. At the
first hoeing if more than two shoots spring
from no cuts draw the excess out so that
| only Two will be allowed TO grow and bear
| potatoes. The potatoes are likely to be
large and of uniform size if
the land is rich enough and the
cultivation good. Do not put rank
manure in contact with the seed or that
will come in contact with the growing po-
tatoes. Some non-heating manure like

Of soda may go in the furrow along with
the seed--two or three inches under the
seed, with soil between. The siding burrows
is the place Tor the bulk of the manure,
putting it in on the same level with the
seed. If the cultivation is rapid and alto
gether shallow a crop of large potatoes is
likely to result, and it is only potatoes of
good size that are generally worth shipping
to northern markets. All the small ones,
or culls, should be reserved for planting the
second crop or feed to stock.
