Potato Raising.

L. Stark, of Plainfeld, who makes
money in potato raising, advises farmers
who wish to do likewise to plant one
third Burbanks, one-third Beauty Of
Hebrons and one-third Ohios or some
early variety. There is likely to be a
demand for the latter for seed for the
Southern states. One dollar per bushel
has been paid and is likely to be again
for early varieties of seed. AS it nears
planting time let our farmers consider
ways and means for increasing the
profits of their farms.

health and seclusion. Like all ignorant
people Nick is most superstitious, signs
and augurs rule the day and the banish-
ed comes O'nights. About a year ago
he became impressed with the idea that
some witch was making times trouble
some for him. The bedding, clothing
and household effects were bewitched,
and he had piles of clean woolen fabrics
washed and rewashed to drive out the
spirits. One day Mrs. Sampson, for
whom he entertains the most profound
reverence, happened to call at his place
on an errand just as bis frugal meal was
ready, and with native hospitality he
prevailed on her to partake Of it with
him. Sweet clean bread, good coffee,
milk and some freshly prepared
greens" was sweetened by good will.
During the meal Nick told his troubles
and eargerly sought advice from Mrs.
Sampson, who humoring his illusion,
told him that ii would effectually drive
the witches out Of the things, if he would
take them early in the morning, when
strong wind was blowing and sun shin
ing, and hang them on the line being
sure to bring them in before the shades
of evening. Nick has not been troubled
in that way since. He is honest, indus
trious, and of ordinary intelligence.
His habits are cleanly and the little
cabin surrounded by we'll kept garden
patch offers not uninviting resting
place after mornings walk. Simple
and liquacious he is an interesting
character to study, and one wonders
what would the result have been if the
lines of his life had fallen in more con-
genial parallels.
Down at the bayou six miles south of
here in a miserable dilapidated opology
of dwelling lives Eold man Barker" as
he is familiarity known. A few rough
pieces of furniture and a bit of bedding,
some cooking utensils etc. all battered
and worn constitute his home furnish
ings. Old, poor, ragged, dirty, un-
kempt, and partially blind he lives here
alone his strange lonely life travesty
on human nature. Why he has chosen
this sort Of life is mystery. He likes
the company Of his fellow men and
makes them welcome to the best he has.
"Barker's" is quite resort to lovers of
fishing and this point Of the river is a
favorite spot for fisherman. He comes
of good family, has four brothers and
four sisters living in Winabeggo Co. ILL.,,
who like himself were reared in re-
spectability and with the refinements
Of home. He has been man of con-
siderable means; having at one time
owned and operated gristmill. He
owns y acres of land the remainder of
q 200 tract. Having education enough
for business purposes, fair intelligence
and decent bringing up it is a mystery
how he came to choose the rude un-
couth mode Of living he affects.
Born in Vermont in 1910 Elvin Barker
the hermit Of Grand Rapids where he
has lived since 1874, will be SO wears old
the last day Of May 1898. A man of
kindly disposition and possessing good
qualities it can be said careless habits
are his greatest faults and these deserve
consideration from the fact of his age,
lack Of the refining influence Of the
gentler sex, and saving power of as
sociates.

early morn till dewy eve. Up here they
are considered indispensable,
On this farm were ten or twelve to-
baccO barns and the process Of curing
was going on. These houses are built
of pine poles Of different dimensions,
and are made uir-tight. Through
these iron fues are run on the ground,
and are heated from a fire which burns
in an eye on the outside.
In each barn thermometer is hung,
and when the tobacco is placed there.
In In an uncured state, the fires are
mace, and the heat gradually increases
Until the mercury registers about 1T5
OF $50 degrees. The weed is then al
lowed to cool off, when it is taken to
the packing house, where it is graded
into about eight grades, tied in bun
dies, packed in hogs-heads, and
shipped.
During the curing process much care
and attention is necessary. Day and
night the fires are watched, and the
presence of an expert is required. A
little negligence at this time might
cause the whole affair to go up the fue.
1t takes four days and nights to cure
one barn, although the whole ten were
filed with the weed when saw them,
and there were 500 pounds in each ba, D
| and all the fires were lighted.

The Blouse Bodice for Winter.

The blouse bodice which during the
seasons just past became such an indis-
pensable article of the wardrobe would
have been greatly missed had not the
modiste happily bethought her of lin
ing silk blouses with domet yelling, or
very thin flannel, and now another
genius has produced a new variety of
the ever-popular bodice in corded vel
veteen and also in wooden corduroy.
These are sufficiently warm with u
surah lining, and in relation to the cor
duroy blouse, novelty is combined with
other advantages. Plain velvcteen is
never desirable; not so the corded va
riety, as the best qualities are silk
faced and the colors in both deep and
neutral shades are soft and rich in APP
pearance. New York Post
