A Potato Crop That Paid.

Cornell university at Ithaca, N. Y,
is a noted agricultural college and ex-
pertinent station. Usually most of the
experiments are made without caring
much for profit. But this year the man
lgers determined to grow potatoes on
scale sufficiently large to determine
whether this crop can be grown cheap
ly enough under scientific treatment to
make the crop profitable. The season,
as all know, was very unfavorable for
potatoes wet through the summer and
dry as the potatoes should be maturing
Yet, as reported by American Cultiva-
tor, on the field fertilized with 90 loads
of stable manure per acre the yield per
acre was $50 bushels and on land un-
fertilized was 800 bushels AS the gem
eral average of the potato crop in New
York is only So bushels per acre. the
farmers at Cornell have reason to con-
graduate themselves on their success.
The station potatoes were also free from
rot, due doubtless to the liberal use of
bordeaux mixture and other fungicides.
At present prices Of potatoes the crop
grown this year is undoubtedly pay

Smith s fatberis a prominent and wealthy
man OF Altoona, and Miss Allen has been
madly Ia love with him for some time.
They had talked of marriage, and We're
supposed to be engaged. A letter from
Miss Echols to Young Smith fell into the
Alien girls hands early in the week.
This letter was full OF endearing terms,
and it appears to have driven the Kansas
girl insane She confronted Smith with
the evidence OF his duplicity, and he ac-
knowledged that he had been corresponding
with Miss Echols for some time, that he
was deeply in love with her, and intended
to marry her.
Miss Allen at once board a train for
Oklahoma Territory, and as Stroud is fifty
miles from the railroad, she hired a team
and made the journey in enc day. She
called upon the Rev. Mr.. Ecbols, told him
that her name was Jessie Wiley, that she
was a stranger in a strange country, 200
miles from heI home, and asked to be
taken into ms family as n domestic for II
time. The minister's home was full OF
guests that night, ana the girl was turned
away.
She renewed her request the next morn
ing and was taken into the household. She
at once manifested great admiration. and
affet tion for FronO Echols, and succeeded
in arranging to occupy the same room.
The first time they slept together the
Allen girl put a large dose of strychnine
into the water pitcher, and during the
night both Mrs. Echols and her daughter
drank of the water. Miss Frono got the
larger dose, and the doctors have no hope
