THE CARE OF SEED POTATOES.

Successful growers of potatoes have
learned that to insure a good5frop the
seed must be selected caretA lily the
previous fall. The best results come
from making the hills as they are dug,
choosing well-formed potatoes, free
from scab or prongs and with smooth
surfaces. Neither the very large nor
very small potatoes should be taken.
The first will be misshapen, and the
last will be apt to be poorly ripened.
Something depends on how the potato
has been grown. If the vines kept
healthy until the crop of tubers was
fully ripened, the very smallest make
good seed. After selection the ma1N
point is to keep the seed at as low a
temperature as possible without dan,
ger of frost. These conditions are best
secured by keeping potatoes in dry out
of doors pits. In our Northern eli
mate after the covering of the pit has
frozen over it will not thaw out again
all winter. If there is danger of thaw-
ing too early, a covering OF straw Will
maintain an even degree of tempera-
ture below freezing, while protecting
the potatoes from too much cold. The
tubers will come out with eyes as dor
mant as when they were put in the pit.
The potatoes will be harder by evapo-
ration of their moisture, while those
kept in cellars will be made soft by
starting of the eyes, which rapidly
take out the substance needed to give
the potato set its first start after being
planted.-Boston Cultivator.

ROOTS AS FEED.

If it pays to import sheep from
abroad in order to improve our breeds,
one would imagine it would also pay
the sheep-raiser to study the process
by which these sheep have been raised
to their present state of excellence.
One of the most potent factors has
been the feed. A mixed ration should
be supplied in which roots play the
most important part. Sugar beets,
mangolds, rutabagas and turnips are
all IF great value to the flock, and
crops of them should be sowed and
harvested regularly, if we would make
a success of sheep-raising.- New York
World.

Big Men and Women:

What enormous fellows and what
leviathan persons some of these Swed-
ish men and ONE are! Nowhere
will you see such; noble specimens OF
adult humanity as in Stockholm's
streets. The feature seems to pervade
all classes, though it is not least strik-
ing among the nobility. Six feet is a
common height for a man here, and
really / do not believe / exaggerate in
saying that men of six feet three or
four inches are as abundant in Stock
holm as men of six feet with us.
The tallness of the women is just as
noteworthy. You remark it less. how
ever, because they are 80 well pro.
portioned. They say it is easy to tell
by the size of the boots outside the
doors which rooms of a hotel are oc-
cupied by the Swedish fair. This is a
very endurable hit at the Swedish
ladies. Though they do skies OF
seyens in shoe leather, no sculptor
would find fault with them on profess
sional grounds. Moreover, they have
most winsome compilations, and, OF
course, blue eyes r nowhere more
intensely blue than here.
It is comforting to know 4 speak on
the evidence Of one of the pension
naires) that Swedish maidens have a
great admiration for English bachelors.
They read French novels, but they be-
lieve in English bridegrooms. The
blood bond still exists, l suppose, be-
tween them and us.-Cornhill Maya

Tears and Nerves.

Ny medical friend explains: As the
muscular power that extends or fexes
a finger is at n distance from the part
moved, so the excitement to tears is
from an irritation in a distant nervous
center, and is removed when the nerv-
ous center is either soothed or ex-
hausted. The relief comes, not from
