1t was after this long term Of active
labor as business man that he found
himself incapacitated for further service
by the embargo which rheumatism had
laid upon him and resigned his position
more than two years ago, and returned
to Belchertown, Mass, where he now
lives and owns the Phelps farm.
Being a man of means he did not
spare the cost and was treated by lead

benefit worth notice. During the sum.

pills about the first OF March, 1894, and
continued to do so until the first part OF
September following. The first effect

Level Potato Culture,

Almost everybody now agrees that
level culture produces the largest and
best crops of potatoes. But it is I'M
possible to have level culture unless
the seed potatoes are planted deep
enough for the tubers to form under the
soil. The constant tendency OF the
tubers is to rise as they grow. This, if
the seed has been planted only one or
two inches deep, makes it necessary
to draw dirt around the hill, making a
mound which sheds the water on either
side, This also cuts the potato roots in
the middle Of the row. It requires dry
and rich ground to make successful
deep planting and level culture posi-
BILE. But soil without stagnant water
near the surface is always necessary
for the potato crop. If the sub-soil IS
filled with water through winter and
spring it is impossible to grow good
potato crops on such land the following
season by any method.

The Ink is Fading Away.

"SOme of the earlier 99-year leases
made in this city were written in inks
that are in great danger of fading out
long before the lease expires" said
microscopic and expert in handwrit-
ing. '"There is not an ink on the mar
ket but will fade seriously in thirty
years. My business requires me to be
informed, and | purchase samples OF
every ink I hear of and submit them
to microscopic and chemical eXamina-
ton. I base what | have said on the
results reached in those examinations.
The inks made thirty or forty years
ago were not SO good as those Of the
preceding three centuries, for many
documents written in the latter are eX-
tant, the lines in which are clear and
bright. The inks Of the present day are
poorer than those of a generation back,
because in this age of adulteratlon
nothing escapes the adulterator. The
same ingredients are used, but in
weakened form. Iron and aniline dyes
are the basis of most inks. Where iron
is used time produces a process of cor
rosion and oxidation gradually fades
to pale brown. The logwood disap-
pears. If documents written in these
inks are kept in vaults where ventila-
ton is bad, certain gases that are de
veloped by the conditions act directly
on the inks and hasten their disappear
ance. If in the middle Of the next Gen.
fury future biographer wants to ex-
anime the correspondence Of any Chi
cagoan living to-day it isn't unlikely
he will find in it pieces of paper that
once was covered with writing which
has passed away, leaving only pale
faint lines. AS to leases, probably there
is some understanding of these facts
for instruments that have long time
to run are now printed"
Sea-anemones and some other marine
creatures of low degree increase theil

length of the other side. The central
grain building has a chamber where a
part Of the grain can be stored in bins,
the latter having chutes to convey the
grain to the first floor. If this central
building can have a cellar, so much the
better, for in this can be stored roots
and vegetables for the use of the fowls
and hogs, the cooking of these being
done in a boiler set on the first floor.

To Clean Windows.

rest of the room is done-window-sills

Quire to be washed or cleaned nearly so

of whiting, and two wash-leathers.
Dust the glass thickly with the whit
ing then rub it off thoroughly with a
damp-not wet-leather, and finally
polish with a clean, dry one. This is
the method pursued by workmen when
cleaning the windows of Il new house,
and gives polish unknown to the glass
washed in the ordinary way.
Another excellent method for giving
brilliancy to glass is to damp rag
with spirits of wine, rub the glass we'll
with this, and then polish rs before
with a clean, dry leather. Newspaper
is also said to be an excellent rubber"
for glass on account of the printers
ink; but whether this Is true or not I
cannot vouch from personal expert
ence. Paper is certainly capital for
cleaning decanters, carafes, ETC., SO
very likely the case is the same with
windows.
