One Of the surost marks OF a good
gardener is that he is always on tho
lookout to have on hand an ample
supply Of fertilizing matter for tho
soil. How reasonable that is, and yet
strange to say one meets with persons
who, Judging only by their acts, seem
TO think that plants do not need food.
They need it quite as much as do ami
mails; both grow from that on which
they feed. II is true ell cultivated
soil contains some plant food in tho
shape OF vegetable humus. deposited
there in one way or another in tho
past. But the good gardener looks
upon present fertility as sort Of
revenue, and sees to it that enough
manure is applied to the soil each year
TO meet the needs Of the current crops.
II would be lesson to some amateur
gardeners to visit the successful mar
ket gardens OF our large cities and see
how, year after year, thick coats Uf
manure, thirty or forty tons 10 the
acre, are applied. The Silver Knight.

SEED POTATOES.

The tests Of the Ohio Experiment
station indicate that home grown seed
potatoes will give as good crops as any
northern grown seed of the same
varieties, provided the seed potatoes
are well kept, but the yield is materi.
ally lessened and the ripening retarded
if the seed potatoes are allowed to
sprout and the sprouts are broken of,
as usually happens when the potatoes
are kept IN a dark cellar.
Many potato growers keep their
potatoes successfully, especially in the
northern part of the State, by burying
the potatoes in pits, covering to a shall
low depth at first and adding layers
of straw and earth as the weather be-
comes colder.
The ideal method of keeping seed
potatoes is in cold storage. Potatoes
thus kept at the Ohio station have come
out sound and fresh, with no indioa-
ton of sproutinp and the vitality I'M
impaired, even 80 late as the first of
June. 1t is important, however, that
the temperature of the cold storage
room should not fall below thirty-fve
degrees, nor should it rise much above
forty degrees.
When cold storage is not available,
sprouting may be in some measure
prevented by shoveling the potatoes
over frequently.
While the sprouting of potatoes un-
der ordinary conditions IS very OBJ.
iectionable, they may be so sprouted
as to materially advance their earli-
ness. This is done by placing them,
stem end down, in single layers in
shallow trays on the floor, in light
and moderately warm room. Thus
placed they will send out short, stubby,
green sprouts which will remain in
that condition for weeks. Such pota-
toes, planted without breaking the
sprouts, will grow Immediately and
produce an early crop.

In Terror From Muskrats.

Residents of Waltham are in terror
OF their lives because of the preva-
lence of muskrats of huge size about
the streets. These rats are supposed
to come from number of old drains
about the city, in which they breed,
and sally out at night to attack peace
full pedestrians.
Early one morning Conductor w.
F. Phelps, of the Fitchburg Railroad,
was coming down the railroad track
and was attacked by large rat, which
tried to fasten its teeth in the con-
ductor's leg. The latter drew his re-
volver and fired two shots into the rat
before it was killed.
A few nights ago DR.. Fred M. Stiles
had death struggle with rat which
lay in wait for him in front of his
house on Moody street. DR.. Stiles
picked up barrel stave in self
defence aud hit the rat with it as the
latter rushed at him, but it broke
short off in his hand, and the animal
sprang at him again and again, until
it was finally stunned by lucky
blow. 1t was as large as grown cat
and had teeth two inches long.
But the nerviest attack was made
upon Patrolman Cannon. A rat
jumped on him and climbed up his
legs, biting him all the while. The
policeman drew his club and after a
hard struggle succeeded in beating OF

"When was driving from Berkshire coun-

ped at prominent house In village. In
this house dwelt distant connection of
my travelling companion, which explains
why we halted there rather than at a hotel.
At night we were conducted to large
chamber, on the mantelshelf of which were
placed the coffin plates Of the deceased
members Of the family. These plates were
set up 20 that names and dates were easy
10 be read. Over them was mourning
piece, with tombstone, weeping willow and
three mourners at the grave. In the morn
