Potatoes Grown CheaDly,

There are now implements for planting
potatoes, and diggers for harvesting the
crop, while the tedious operation of cut
ting the seed is also done rapidly by a
little machine for that purpose. The old
method of opening the furrows, dropping
the seed CATER handling each potato to
cut to the eyes,, and the covering of the
seed in the rows, will soon be something
belonging to the past, and the slow har-
vestiug of the crop with the plow and
hoe will be forgotten. Improved imple-
ments will now enable the farmer to
cultivate five times as much land in
potatoes as he formerly did, which will
no doubt reduce the receipts, but will
MT affect the profits, as potatoes can be
moro easily grown and at less cost. 1t
may also be added that straw berry
plants, tobacco plants, cabbage plants,
ETC., can row be set out and watered at
the same time, by simply driving horse
hitched to q machine, along the rows.
Tnis is a great advantage, especially the
watering of the plants, as the work can
be done during moderately dry seasons
instead of being compelled always to wait

DOMESTIC IDEAS
Breakfast, Lunch an! Dinner
ReciDCS.


L. Is the opinion of Mrs. Ro.er, gath
ere from her own observation and from
lat of other eminent teachers and stu
dents of the food question, that oranges,
shaddock, grapes, dates and figs can be
taken with good results before eating the
substantial part of the breakfast; but
that apples and pears agree best with
most stomachs when taken at It's clos 2.
Her own breakfasts, which seem to be
m ,dels of lightness and nutrition and
temptation to cat, usually consist of
fruit, cereal. a simple meat dish, bread
of some kind and coffee. To help others
to a simpler way OF living, Mrs. Roier
has lately given weeks menu used in
her own house at this season of tho year.
That for the first day CONSISTS of break
fast of grape fruit, oat meal cooked ten
hours with cream. chops, French rolls
and c.ffee. The lunch for this day is a
Welsh rarebt, toast and coffee; the
dinner, clear soup, boiled mutton with
egg sause, boiled rice, spinach, lettuce
with French dressing, waters with cheese
and small cups of coffee. For the next
day there are oranges, hominy grits with
milk, picked Goldfish cooked with egg and
cream, French rolls aud coffee. The
lunch consists of cold mutton, bread and
cornmeal mush and milk. The dinner
| for this day is clear soup, broiled srloin,
mashed sweet potatoes, stewed cabbage,
celery with French dressing, waters,
cheese and coffee. A dinner that sounds
very good has for the first course clear
soup the second roast chicken without
stuiling, cranberry sauce, boiled rice,
stewed celery lettuce with French dress
ing, waters, cheese, preserved dates and
coffee. A Fridays dinner is clear
tomato soup without meat, boiled
! founder with Holandaise sauce, boiled
potatoes, caulifiower with cheese sauce,
celery with mayOnnaise, waters aud
coffee The dalntiest breakfast, that for
| Sunday morning, consists of oranges,
| oatmeal and cream, tomato Omelet, coffee
rich flannel eikes aud maple syrup. YOU
will probtbly notice the a0seuce Of
| pastry and cake in these menus l. is
her opinion that tho ordinary rich dessert
is better omitted, it gives the housewife
al extra allowances for vegetables aui

| toned 20 it she finds that 4 crisp wafer,

OF black coffee is much more appel izing

ON THE FARM.


This season the farmers wilt have
larger number of implements with which
to reduce the expense of cultivating the
corn crop The harvester and binder
made it possible to devote more land to
wheat, and for many years after the
harvester appeared inventors made
repeated attempts to construct au nipple
ment for harvesting corn. At last this
has been accomplished, and not only by
one individual, but by several. Corn is
now planted, the rows checked. and the
seed covered at one operation, while at
harvest time the stalks are cut down, and
tied in bundles with Irvine, as fast as a
team can walk down the rows. What
is more, the corn is new husked and cut
up fine at one operation, TINS rendering
every portion of the plant available for
food or making it more suitable for any
other purpose desired.

WASHINGTON. May 23.-The onslaught
on the civil service commission, which
was started yesterday, was resumed to-
day and several times during the day
the question was disposed of only to
break out anew later in another place.
The appropriation for the commissioners
and clerks having been stricken
out yesterday, the next paragraph pro-
viding for the transfer to the civil serv-
ice commission, of clerks from the
departments, was stricken out OF the
bill today. The house refused to strike
out the appropriation of SAC, 1000 for
travelling expenses of civil service ex-
aminers.
Another amendment made to the bill
gives the secretary of the treasury dis
cretion in the temporary appointment
of clerks to wind up the accounts Of the
divisions proposed TO De abolished, in
stead of taking them from the classified
service.
Prior to going into committee of the

many years, the roll call showing the
presence of 257 delegates out of a possi-
BILE 264. Gen. Louis Wagner of Pills
delphia was chosen temporary chair
man, and alter the appointment Of COM
mittees. the convention at 1910 p. m.
took recess.
At the afternoon session Theodore L.
Flood, editor of the Chautauquan, was
elected permanent chairman. In his
speech he wove the names of nearly
ali the prominent statesmen from the
time Of Washington, evoking great ap-
plsuse.
The following platform was adopted
The Republicans of Pennsg lvania, in
convention assembled, repeat. for the
regulation and government of the ma
tional currency, the following principles
of finance, which were announced BY us
at our laet state convention, and which
have since received the overwhelming
approval of our fellow citizens:
We favor the expansion of the circu-
lating medium OF the country until the
same shall amount to $40 per capita of
our population, and approve the propo.
sition to issue national bank notes to
the par value OF the amount of bonds
deposited to secure their circulation.
We declare that the obligations OF the
government should be discharged in
money approved and current in all civil
IL ed nations; to that end a largely
increased reserve of gold should be
gradually accumulated and maintained.
We declare our belief to be that no
legislation can make our currency meet
the needs OF the American people, unlese
it conforms to the utterance Of our lat
national convention.
The American people from tradition
and interest favor bimetsllism, and the
Republican party demands the use of
gold and silver as standard money, with
such restrictions and under such provis-
ions, to be determined by legislation, as
will secure and maintain the parity OF
value OF the two metals, 30 that the pur.
chasing and debt-psying power of sill
yer. gold or paper shall be at all times
equal.
The interests of the producers of the
country, its farmers and its workingmen,
demand that every dollar, paper or coin,
issued by the government, shall be as
good as any other.
The threats and efforts which the
Democratic party, now in control of the
executive and Legislative departments OF
the national government, are making to
destroy the system of protection to
American industries, have wrecked our
