j. Can there be such thing as a lawful
trike on any railway engaged in inter-
state commerce?
When a strike takes place on any rail
way it is presumably with the object of
, frippling or interfering with the con-
. duct of the business of the road. If this
intent can be proved against the parties
o the strike, it undoubtedly becomes a
conspiracy, and any participant in the
strike commits crime. There might,
however, be difficulty in proving this

guilty of crime. United opposition on

potato sets are sent out, and each lateral
Joint usually starts nearly the same
number Of tubers. Therefore the system
can be proftably applied where it is
desired to get a large yield from small
quantity Of seed or where growers are
limited to a short acreage.
The second illustration represents the
more general system of cultivation
among growers whore the ground is
marked out three to four inches deep and
the seed covered at once with some COW
ering direct that throws a heavy ridge
over the potato, after which it is left to
sprout and work its way up through
the dark, cold earth, getting whittier and
simmer as it nears the border of the
world it has been hunting for the past
three to four weeks and usually having
but one lateral joint to send out roots

greatly improved if the harrow or some
mode of leveling the ground We're used
after planting, putting the entire sur
face on level, as indicated at the dot
ted line E. Then when the plant APP
pears through the ground and is ready
to start leaf, put on an implement
that would throw back the original dirt,
as shown in Fig. 2 at F. This modus
operandi would induce the plant to add
another lateral joint and thereby very
largely increase the yield, which would
pay well for the labor expended.

HE NET THE LAWYER sQUARELY.
1t Is Not Always Safe to Assume That a
Colored Man Is Ignorant.


A Kentucky lawyer was standing on the
steps of the Covington postofiicc the other
day when an old colored man came up, and
touching his hat asked:
"Kin you tell me is dis the place where
dey sells postage stamps"'
Eyes sir, this is the place" replied the
lawyer, seeing a chance for a little quiet
fun but what do you want with postage
stamps, uncle;"
$40 mail letter, sab, of co'sc."
well, then, you needn't bother about
stamps. Yoa don't have to put any ON

Il don't
"No, sir.
"Why-for not?"
"Wcll, you see, the conglomcration of
the hypothenuse has differentiated the
parallclogram so much that the consan-
guinity doesn't emulate the ordinary eff
fervcsccnce and SO the government has de
cided to send letters free"
The old man took off his hat obviously,
shook his head, and then with long breath
remarked:
well boss, all dat may be true, an
don't say it amt but just s'posin dat de
eckcentricity of the aggregation transub-
stimulates de ignominiousness of de pup
pindickler and sublimitcs de puspicuity of

Seeding with Buckwheat.

Buckwheat is usually grown on land
not well suited to other grains, and this
has led some farmers to experiment
with seeding grass or clover with it,
Some might think that, sowed in hot
weather, as buckwheat always is, grass
or clover seed would have little chance.
But there are usually some rains early
in July, and after the seed has germi-
mated the broad buckwheat leaves pro-
tect the young plant from the scorching
sun BY the time the bucllwheat is fit
to cut fall rains are due, and clover or
timothy will make a growth that will
keep them from being winter killed.
Clover succeeds with buckwheat when
sowed on sandy soil. 1t does not die out
in summer, as it will when sowed with
spring grain. Land too wet for spring
grain can be seeded in July with timo-
thy and bring fair crops year or two,
but there is no way to keep such land
from running into wild and inferior
grasses except by draining it, accord
