How to Secure arge Potatoes.

1t will pay to thin potatoes to one
stalk In place and so give all the
strength and moisture of the land to
those that remain. 1t might be well
to cut all eyes of the potatoes when
planted. except such as are desired to
grow. and SO save the trouble of thin
ming out the field to some extent. There
Is no profit in growing a large crop Of
potatoes unless they are of merchant
able size The largest potatoes are al
ways found where the largest and
strongest stalks grow. and the small
ones where they are small and weak.
1t is mistake to plant small seed. or
to cut the large ones TO one or two eyes
to save seed and to reduce the number
or plants, as the common practice Is.
1t Is much better to plant whole pOta-
toes or good size. or. If large. to cut
them at most only in halves. OF course,
1t will cost more to seed field. but
with good seed properly tninned. much
better results can be obtained.
If one desires to raise the largest
quantity possible from few seed.
great results can be obtained by taking
or the shoots and transplantng. but
the potatoes will not grow large. 1t
may not be known to some people that
each eye in potato Is capable of pro-
ducing large number Of shoots: as
fast as taken off others will grow. Usu-
ally not more than two or three to each
eye will start when planted. but that
number is far too many to be left to
grow.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Corn,


But for the great corn crop made in
the South last season the price would
be mountain high. and the cotton States
would be badly stranded. The escape
from the peril incident to being caught
between the rocks of 4la-cent cotton
and 81 corn. should afford warning
never to he forgotten.
1t Is among the probabilities of the
near future that the Gulf States will
be called upon to reverse the old order
of things and ship to the West. for the
unfertiliZed lands of that section are
not responding with their old time har-
vest of that cereal.
For the next few years, aAnperhaps
always, there will be a splendi'f~u
ket for corn and hay in Cuba and Porto
Rico, that we ought to capture ard con-
troll; and when the work begins on the
Nicaragua Canal the Gulf States should
supply the corn and forage consumed
in course Of construction, as we'll as the
cattle. mules and lumber; and later on
we should make enormous shipments
of these products through the great
canal.-Aberdeen Tx.

wild White Sheen,


This rare wild white sheep is found no.
where in the world but Alaska, and few
specimens for mounting whole have ever
been obtained. This species, named owls
DALI by Prof Dali. differs from it's cousin,
the Rocky mountain big horn (ovis mon
tana), in color, owls montana being a dull
brown in midsummer, changing to a gray
ish drab in winter, with light ashy col
ored patch over the rump all the year
while the owls DALI is snow white at all
seasons; in fact, there is not a colored hair
on any part of its body. He is not quite
so stockily built as our big horn" yet
more trim and shapely. Two of my speci-
mems stood forty-two inches at the Shout
der. His limbs are not quite so heavy, and
his horns will not average as large at the
base. although quite as long. The horns of
my largest specimen of 1897 measured AN
inches in length and 144 inches in circum-
ference at the base.
The flesh is the most delicious of all wild
game. In the summer this sheep lives
chiefly on the rich. succulent growth of the
asplenium septentrionaie which grows in
the crevices of the rock on the sunny
slopes of this rugged range. This beauti-
full animal must endure great hardships to
survive the winters of this Icy north.

CHAPTER XII.
Anthony Unfair.

No one could have gathered. from the
quiet aspect of Rallywood's tall, soldierly
figure. that a whri of emotion was passing
through lis brain. Yet above all rose one
dominant sensational vast relief. Counsel
lor shared his own opinion with regard to
Valerie. Her daring words to the duke had
10 serious meaning; they were only the
natural echo of a girls preference for
young and beautiful woman to preside over
the court, rather than the bloated rake who
now lolled uneasily in the chair before him.
He recalled the forlorn little smile with
which she had accepted Won Elmurs lover

way. Its fOrlornnes5 had been lost upon
CLZiar, who had drawn but one merciless
conclusion from the little scene. Close on
the heels of these reflections a vivid reco;-
lection rose before Rallywood's mind of the
first night he had met her. The lights ard
music of the grand salon of Sagan died
away, and he was standing again on the
ridge below the Hotel du Chanvelier look
ing out over the glimmering lamps of Re-
vcnde, dominated. as always by the reg
nant red eye of the guards DOME and he
felt once more that strange new warmth
and thrill in his veins which, at the time,
he had believed to be born of an opening
CO reer beset with danger and difficulty.
Tonight, however he judged more clearly;
he knew that his dull life had been re-

gained altogether at first hand, be 1t I'M
derstood, but such as a clever woman easily
gathers from the lives of those about her.
AS the motherless daughter of M. Selpdorf
she had had exceptional opportunities.
Thrown into the midst of brilliant but
vicious society, her eyes had seen more of
the bare under texture of life than was
perhaps desirable. She had looked upon
the shift and drift of things political with
an ever-present knowledge that there dam
ger lurked and waited. She had learned the
uses of reserve and something of the art of
resource. and above ALL her womanly per-
ceptions had taken on a strange edge of
sensitive power. due to her fathers quaint
methods of pointing out to her the differ
ence between the seeming and the true.
BY reason of this premature insight into
the motives and stress of human existence
she gained in safety and strength, as her
father desired, but. on the other hand she
had lost the sense of happy irresponsibility
that goes SO far toward making up one of
the sweetest essentials of youth. Luckily
there is one thing which can never be quite
destroyed at second hand-the romance and
Illusions that beguile boyhood and girl
hood and the liability to be so beguiled still
lived in Valerie's strong and vivid nature.
Shall l swear that every word 1 spoke
to the duke just now is true?" she asked
coldly. although. of course, even that
would not convince you
mo, I suppose not" he said drearily.
You spoke openly of your hope to be maid
of honor to Madame de Sagan when she be-
came Duchess of Nassau, which can only
mean one thing. Hollywood heard and told
me exactly
you discussed me with Capt Rally
wood?" she flashed out.
Unzar's glance darkened again with
new suspicion.
Should you object?' he asked.
GAS it happens, l should, particularly.
He bit savagely at his mustache.
What Is wrong with Rallywood?'
HE is an EngiiShman. Besides, do not
care to be discussed among the men of the
guard"
"How like woman you put me off! I
did not discuss you with Hollywood. of
course, as you very well know. l asked
him the simple question as to what had
actually been said. 1 anew he would not
lie to me-
1.-The guard keep their falsehoods for out
siders, l suppose?"
Unfair liked this harping upon Hollywood
less and less. He moved irrtably.
But that is not all. You have admitted
that you are going to marry Elmur. That
also signifies-something.'
Whatever it signifies, II does not sig
Nifty that 1 am disloyal to Nassau"
you have seen for yourself that there is
a change here at Sagan,' argued UnZfer
No German has ever been welcome here
before We can but guess at treason
Hush it cannot be that, since my father
has knowledge of it."
This was an entirely unexpected develop
ment OF the difficulty. Unfair felt the
check and even in his turbulence he chang
ed his venue.
ut may be so--let that rest; but nothing
