SURPRISE GIVES PLACE TO
ADMIRATION.

Surprise was manifested generally
when the New York Sunday Press be-
gan to issue it's handsome Sunday Mag
azine. No newspaper ever before has
offered so much reading matter or of
such quality for the price. The mag
azine is now on it's second year, and is
an assured success And it has i'm
proved in this time, as the contents of
the next issue prove. Portraits of all
of Harvard's leading football players,
and interesting facts regarding the
men; additional chapters of "Ameri~
can Emperor the fascinating novel:
a tale of the difficulties encountered
in the homcwardtrip from the Klon-
dyke, by Frederick Palmer who, made
the trip for e NeW York Press;
a short story by the younger Dumas
and an intimate view of Ii Hung
Chang, the Chinese Viceroy-all these
subjects a~retreated of and a hos st of
others that lack of space prevents
giving the mention their merit de-
serves.

If you hire a horse at a stable you
ought to treat him as if it we're your
own. IF you drive out ten miles, you
ought not to attend to your wants I'M
til you see him properly cared for. If
an honeat man, you will remember
hat you are under a two-fold obliga-
ton to that animal-an obligation to
its owner and an obligation to the
animal. You are the debtor Of both,
and though you pay the price of the
horse, yet no money a release you
from the duty and moral claim invol-
we'd in the bargain between yourself
and the owner. To neglect the poor
speechless beast that cannot appeal
to the commiseration of a passer-by is
simply objectionable, and the man

Timed Goods.

During recent years timed foods have
been looked upon with a great deal of
disfavor, but the analysts have just
made an announcement which goes to
show that timed foods are not SO bad
after all. Tt seems that 200, 600, 900 tins
Of food are eaten yearly, and having
regard to this enormous quantity, the
cases Of poisoning are certainly rare in
the extreme. Ptomaine is the name of
the poison which usually goes with
timed food the analysts now say that
ptomaine poisoning happens with fresh
meat of all kinds. So you may begin
again to enjoy the forbidden fruit. The
n thing necessary is to turn out the
contents of the tin Immediately it is
opened.

q Timely Word About Carpets-An Ar

A tour of the great carpet stores de-
termines the fact that the new fall car
pets are nearly all dark and nearly all
s%tartlingly gorgeous. In the rebound
from the light, delicately colored and
patterned carpets with which we have
furnished our houses in late years we
have now gone to quite the other ex-

herself hating between what she has
come to believe the expression Of the
canons Of good taste and the ~nondescript
briIliancy and pattern Of a carpet that
<+swears at every other bit of furni-
ture." Green is the prevailing body
color of the new carpets, while flowers
of all shades and sizes run r%iotously
unchecked. Cabbage roses, dahlias and
conventional garlands of pinks and pop
pies afford abundant choice of design.
One hardly needs, however, to remind
the housewife Of frugal mind that nc
carpet shows every football OF bit of
dust sc quickly as one Of dark ground
work, and that a large pattern can be
ripped and turned to advantage. With
these points borne in mind a compro-
mise between the extreme of fashion
and the light. graceful effects to which
we have grown accustomed may occa-

u FARMERS.
POTATO GROWING.

The quality and quantity Of potatoes
depends much on the depth Of plant
ing. This l have learned since be-
ginning to harvest the present sea-
sons crop. [ tried to have the land
well plowed and narrowed, but, owing
to the toughness of the sod or a lack
of narrowing, the worker failed to do
good work in all places. The pota-
toes were thus planted too near the
surface on much of the piece, and in
digging the prongy and rotton tubers
show where this a the case. [ gave
the piece a thorough and careful hill
ling, vet with such shallow planting
many pushed out where the sun could
turn them green. The potato finds
it's most congenial resting place in a
depth of soil sufficient to shut out the
extreme heat Of the sun. When found
at such a depth they + generally
smooth and sound.
It will be seen that on the simple
process of making potato ground de-
ponds an important part of the crop.
It is impossible properly to mark the
ground, unless it is dry and has been
well narrowed. The spring-toOth
harrow does a great deal Of deceptive
work. The tough places will be pass
ed over without doing good business.
The best tool to supply this lack is
the tWo-horse7 cultivator, which will
stay in at the depth it is set. This is
becoming an almost indispensable
tool to the potato grower, and is used
both for fitting the land and cultivat-
ing the crop. IF the land is we'll pre-
pared for marking, it cannot be done
at an even depth with a tool having
rigid hoes, unless there are only two
of them, and this makes the work
pass off too slowly. A marker having
toes which act Independently and are
held down by a spring Tor weight at
tached to each has been in use by a
friend of mine, and it seems to be in
the line of what is needed. This
marker has wheels at each end, and
by means of a lever and ratchet it may
be varied in depth of marking or
thrown entirely upon the wheels to
move from one place to another 1t
is simple and may be constructed by
any inventive farmer with the aid of
the village blacksmith.
A portion of my potato ground was
corn stubble and the rest sward. The
former was MANFRED before blowing
for corn and the latter before blowing
for potatoes. According to the theory
of potato growers We might expect
much the better potatoes from the in
verted sod, but such was notthe case.
The corn stubble outdid the sod in
point of yield and lack of rot. Next
year I shall give the matter another
trial, and for convenience plant the
corn alongside the piece intended for
potatoes in 1900. Some may say that
this will rob the land, and SO it would,
if the. corr ground were not freely
MANFRED. When thus treated, and
two consecutive cultivated crops tax
en- off, it ought to be seeded with the
succeeding crop Of spring grain. This
would not draw SO heavily on the land
as one planted crop and two succeed
ing sown crops, with no application
of manure. Then, too, while the cor
is growing, crimson clover may be
sown, which will give the land a fresh
instalment of nitrogen.-Clark M.

The creation and development of the

form an interesting bit of local his
tory, which at this time is of more
than passing interest to the people of

The present State school-book sys-

in 1885, and was called into being as a
protest of the people against the extor-
tions of the private school-book pub
fishing houses of the country, under
which parents of children had suffered
for a long series of years, and under
the manipulations of which combina-
tions of publishers the local school
boards were, in very many instances,
either corrupted or cajoled into still
further increasing the profits of the
publishers by frequent and unnecessary
changes in the books used in the
schools and in the courses of study pre-
scribed. It goes without saying that
the proposition to place in the hands
of the State the publication of her own
school books met with the most deter
mined opposition of the private mo-
nopoly, and after the State system was

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years doctors pro-
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tianal disease, and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
factured by r. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the market 1t

which have become badly rusted can be
cleaned by wrapping a,galvanized wire
around them instead of the zinc, in
which case the acid should not be too

articles will appear dark gray or black.
They must then be thoroughly washed
