Half Potatoes for Seed.

BY the experiments conducted at the
Michigan experiment station during 1893,
and corroborated by twelve other sta
tons, it was shown that potato growers
do not plant enough seed. The following
conclusions were reached:
1. That an increase in seed within ordi-
nary limits produces a marked increase
both in total yield and marketable yield.
2. That an increase in seed from one
eye up to a half potato produces an in
crease in the net value of the crop. But
the increased yield from the whole
potato over the half potato is not
sufficient to cover the cost of the greater
amount of seed.
A comparison Of the half potato with
the two eyes shows:
l. That for total yield large or smalD
of 80 experiments, rs are in favor Of the
half potato and 10 in favor Of the two
eyes.
2. That for marketable yield (total less

Of the half potato and Is in favor Of the
two eyes
3. That for net marketa BILE yield omar

Baby Annie.

As the flowers were slowly opening all the
air with fragrance ripe,
From the parent stem she bore II, full of
wondrous fragrant life,
While the dewy pearls of morning on the
snowy petals hung
And the heart Of baby Annie fondly to the
treasure chung.
But the hours pass by unheeded till the sum-
mer day has sped
And the lovely flower lay dropping all its
dewy fragrance fed;
Yet the dmpled hands are grasping still the
fOndly cherished flower,
Striving vain to- read the mystery Of the
changes of an hour,
And the little lips ars murmuring, Mamma,
what ails my fiower?''
So when lifes fair flowerets wither, fold
their dropping leaves and die,
And the heart with anguish riven, lifts to
heaven the questioning lcry,
When we cannot see the portal Of the dis
tant glory world
And our faith its shining pinion. weary with
its flight, has furled.

Beet Culture.

Moderately light sandy loan is the soil
generally considered best for beets.
Heavy clay does not permit the tap root
TO penetrate the subsOil. Muck lands
give badly formed beets, with impure
juices owing to excess of nitrogen COM
pounds and poor drainage. Good results
are most likely to be obtained on lands
that have been under cultivation for ten
years or more, and which give good crops
of corn and wheat. The black prairie
soils, which have not yet been reduced 20
good condition for wheat, are not desira-
BILE for beets, since they contain too
much soluble mineral matter and nitro
genOus material and produce a rank
growth of beets with impure juice.
A deep soil that can be put into a
mellow condition by deep blowing and
subsOiling is most likely to give good
returns. If the land is thought to be in
need of manure it will be best to apply
a heavy dressing of barnyard manure TO
the previous crop, rather than apply it
to the best crop. But when this is inn
practical bic the manure should be applied
in the fall and plowed under. If COM
mercial fertilizers are to be used phOS-
pilates seem to claim the first place, and
for nitrogen compounds nitrate of soda
is most desirable, but the amount per
acre should not exceed 800 pounds Both
should be applied before seeding. Later
applications Of nitrate Of soda prOlong
the growth of the plant and delay ripen-
ing. There is no doubt that there are
extensive areas of land well adapted
to sugar beet culture to be found in
all sections of the state.
The rainfall is. a most important ele-
ment in the case. Enough rain is re-
quired in April and May to insure pro-
per termination of the seed The sum-
mer rainfall must be enough to maintain
the steady growth of the plants. A
rainfall that will carry the corn crop
through the summer in a satisfactory
condition will provide for proper
growth of beets. The beets should show
signs of maturity here about the middle
of October. and a small rainfall in Octo-
Der and November favorS the ripening
of the beet and its richness in sugar and
the purity of its juice. A warm, moist
autumn tends to produce a second
growth of the beet, which results in a
reduction of the purity of the juice.-In-
diana Experiment Station Bulletin.

PiIkins.s LandIady.

He sat upon the curb stone. tearing OF
his hair;
Occasionally he would groan. occasionally
swear;
MY friend said l. "in deep distress you
really seem to be.
Let up a little on your grief and tell the
cause 70 me-
He drew a wel-blown handkerchief and
blew his mournful nose,
Then throwing up sigh or two he said,
We'll. here it goes.
It's my landlady, so it is, as gives me all
this pain.
And if you're not particular I'll speak out
pretty plain;
She's crosser than her knives and forks
when first her tables set.
She's sourer than her pickles are. and al
ways on the fret:
She's sharper than her carving knife, and
like her pies. reserved.
And firier than her pepper sauce and quite
high-strung and nerved;
She waits upon the table, but not upon a
guest.
The moment that the week is up you get a
quick request
And If. whene'er your week is out, you say
that you're out too,
You get a slice Of tongue, not cold. and
something of a stew;
She has her dinners always late, but break
fast is too soon
There's nothing in her tea, perhaps. unless
it is a spoon:
She's colder than her coffee is and crusty
as her pies
She holds her head nlsn a. her terms-that's
weekly on the rise;
Her will is harder than her beds and tough
er than the steaks:
Her smile is scarcer than her tarts and
siclIly as her cakes;
She's distant like her best preserves, which
there are but a dream.
And she dispenses with remarks just as
she does with cream;
You'd no more touch her with appeal than
you could touch her hash.
The only thing she freely gives is your re-
ceipt for cash.
He sobbed. Said 1, why don't you leave?'
Said he You must be drunk,
Though weaker than her coffee is, that
woman holds my trunk.
