whole or Cut Potatoes for seed.

There are two sides To most questions.
While Mr.. Terry, a noted potato-grower,
cuts potatoes TO one eye for seed, Mr.. c.
d. Hill. another good grower, believes in
whole seed. He gives the following rea-
sons:
There is no doubt that the hill with a
vigorous single stalk is likely TO yield
larger tubers than are those crowded
with several plants. We should be glad
of a less number of stalks than the whole
potato produces. But when we use the
knife for the accomplishment Of this de-
sire we do an injury to the seed. which
tas proven TO my satisfaction more than
outweighs the good done.
Should / attempt to give the hows and
why's connected with the harm done in
cutting. as they appear TO me. they
would fall under such heads as these:
1. The vitality Of the embryonic sprout
is injured in severing the eye from the
rest of the potato
> The piece is more likely 10 rot be-
fore sprouting than in the whole potato.
8. a small piece does not afford suffi-
cient available food TO send forth a
strong plant, and properly nourish it un-
til il is we'll rooted in the soil.
4. The weak stalks from single eyes. in
their early growth. are more subject to
disease. to insect ravages. and less able
TO push through hard or crusted soil
conditions not always avoidable under
the best of care.
g. When whole potatoes are used we
get plants from only the strongest
sprouts. The weak ones arc crowded
out. In cutting up the tubers we are
apt TO use all, strong. weak and worth
less; and in many hills we get those that
never even sprout. Rare indeed is the
missing hill when We plant whole seed

White silk lace may be cleaned by
spreading IT, out upon white paper that
has been covered with calcined magnesij,
placing another sheet upon it and laying
il away for three days between the pages
Of a large book. Shake off the powder
and the lace will be clean and white.
\ wholesome drink for persons af-
hicted with inordinate thirst is made
by pouring a little more than two quarts
of boiling water over two tablespoonfuls
Of pearl barley and qu2rter of pound
of loaf sugar. Add the peel of fresh
lemon let it stand all night and strain
in the morning.
The correct way to use dOylies on the
table is 10 place them under finger bowls
and dther simple dishes for which they
are made If no table cloth is used and
the surface Of the shining mahogany
table is exposed the doylies are placed
under he plates in order that the table
may not be scratched
Long hair should never be shampoOed
more than once a month. Some people
think that by brushing and caring well
for the hair a shampoo once year IS
sufficient. but few people, especially
those whose hair is naturally oily, be-
leVe i'm this advice Brushing stimulates
the growth of the bair and makes II
glossy and soft. 1t also stops the hair
from falling out and is the best tonic
for the scalp.
If YOU will try the following method
of procedure YOU will be able 10 make
the toughest fowl palatable. Truss it
carefully and put It on. with sufficient
water to cover it well. and let 1t stew
mot boiD gently. but steadily, for six or
eight hours. according TO its age Then
set it aside until next day. when you
can cook IL as You see TT, as Though it
were an ordinary raw fowl. All depends
upon the gentleness Of the first stewing.
and, if that is done carefully. you Will
find you have a delicious dish.
Inexperienced housekeepers and exper-
fenced ones, too, for the matter of that,
frequently have quite a little trouble
about having cake stick to the pans.
This may be avoided i'm very simple
way Butter the pans thoroughly. then
dust them lightly with -four, turn bot
tom upward and rap lightly to remove
any superfluous flour. then put i'm the
.cake in the usual way Many people
do not wash cake pans, but rub them
with piece of brown paper until
smooth. and then put them away. using
them for no other purpose. This and
the busting with -four after buttelng
will do away with the difficulty COM
planned of.

Lands i'm the Hands of the Lynchcrs.

STROUDSBURG. Pa, March Is
Richard Puryear, the colored desperate
who several weegs ago brutality killed
Christian c. Ehler and tried to murder
the entire Ehler family, was lynched by
a mob this morning
BY some means Puryear had secured
a stick with which he pushed back the
bolt Of his cell door during the night and
the outer cell door being unlocked.
through gross carelessness on the part
of some one, he gained access to the hall
Of the Jail. He then tried TO force his
way out through an upper window but
failed. He next secreted himself in the
bathroom and waited until the sheriff
should come in this morning.
About o'clock as Sheriff Keyes un-
locked the jail door TO take breakfast
to the prisoners and stepped into the
corridor he noticed that the outer door
of Puryear's cell was unlocked At the
same time the prisoner jumped from his
hiding-place and sped out of the open
Jail door closed il quickly and locked
the sheriff in the Jail. He then went
out through the kitchen of the Jail build
ing and, running across some vacant
lots. was soon outside the borough limits.
The sheriff shouted and attracted the
attention Of his wife, who unlocked the
Jail door and set him free. a general
alarm was at once sent out and imme
date pursuit made of the escaped muir
derer As he had but a few feet the
start of his pursuers, there was no pos
sibiity of his getting away.
The desperate man swan McMichaels
creek, closely pursued by a big negro
who caught him just as he landed on
the opposite bank.
Puryear resisted, but the sight Of a re-
volver in his captor's hand caused him
to yield quickly. He was then brought
back across the creek where he was
seized by a crowd that had gathered
and was at once lynched. Some one in
the mob had a rope, which was quickly
attached to the limb of d tree and will
ing hands swung the desperate up.
From the time he escaped from the Jail
till he was hung only nineteen minutes

better green food than cabbage. In the
fall there is always an abundant supply
of loose heads and refuse cabbage which,
If buried. is valuable for the fowls when
all else is covered with snow.
Give little grain and plenty of milk
and green food. Be very sparinE of corn
during the laying season. Corn is too
fattening, causing the hens to get lazy,
lay on too much fat. shuts off the eggs
and makes them thin-shelled. Fat hens
are continually wanting TO sit.

After looking over the pumping station
the track OF land owned by the CITY and

In the tract, and il is proposed to
place the filtration ponds in this tract at a

the beds can be found in the if1fnerifatn

TODAY'S SCENES.
An Army Of Military and Police Con.
centrated at Chicago.


CHICAGO, July 7.-Members offive regi-
| ments OF the Illinois National Guard are
scattered around the southern portion
OF Chicago. In addition to the
police the Federal troops and the
swarm of deputy United States marshals,
deputy sheriffs, secret service men and
private detectives, 5000 Of the State militia
are trying to keep the peace and see that
the law Is obeyed.
The troops are scattered all the way
from Hyde Park and the lake from up as
lar as North 22nd street, and as far west
as the stock yard district. They re-
celved short notice to come out, but
they all obeyed with promptness. Four
hours after Governor Altgeld sent the
order from the executive mansion i'm
Springfield 500 men were on duty.
Two hours later advance guards of the
out-of-town troops arrived and received
orders TO go into camp. The men now on
duty are those belonging to the First,
Second, Third, Sixth and Seventh Regi,
ments.
"A reasonable estimate of the number of
armed men now on duty in this city would
be about Il, 900, including 5000 milf iamen.
800 policemen, 1900 regular army and over
1000 deputy sheriffs and mars halls, besides
perhaps 2500 private watchmen and

DENVER, July THE Knights of Labor

him to give instructions to mem bers OF
