Married Life.

A girl thinking seriously of her future
husband does not lay great stress on good
temper. A soldierly form, pair of fine
eyes, noble mouth-any of these might
easily outweigh good temper. Yet one
writer assures us that latter the first year
married people rarely think of each others
features, whether they be classically beau.
tiiu or otherwise, but they never fail to
be cognizant of each others temper" AS
to husbands fortune, it is not so n.
portant as the qualities which lead to for
tune ambition, determination. industry,
thrift and position such man may attain
for himself. In education a man should
be at least his wife's equal. Undoubtedly
there is some subtle affinity between OPP
posites Yet there must be likeness as
well as unlikeness. The latter will lend
piquancy which is pleasant. but the for
mer will give peace. which is essential.
At first love itself will be all. sufficient, but
little later the individual characteristics
reassert themselves, and then, in the alb.
sence of comprehension and sympathy in
ones pet tastes and theories, a barrier
springs up, slight. unconfessed, perhaps,
but still impossible. and in one sense a,
least man and wife are not 'one," but
distinctly "two."

Proper Care of Seeds.

There are many farmers who believe
and we do not ourselves know to the con.
trary. that if the soil were well supplied
with potash manures, rot, scab and other
fungous diseases to which the potato is
subject would disappear. But now that
these diseases are among US they are pro-
pagated by diseased seed being planted
and thus producing disease even though
conditions are otherwise all right. Dipp
ing the seed in a weak solution of cor.
roslve sublimate, one part to three or four
thousand of water will DESTROY all kinds of
fungus. The seed should then be dried
quickly without washing off the small
mount of poison that will remain on it.
Such seed should of course be placed
where no stock can get at it. Then il
other conditions are all right crop of
sound, healthy tubers may be grown. Do
rot in planting place any caustic fertilizer
against cut potato seed. 1t will eat into
the seed and quite possibly destroy the
germs. Even if SUI erphosphate made
from bone or rock dissolved by sulphuric
acid is used in the hill only a very little
should be used, and it should be well
mixed with damp soil before the potato is
dropped upon it. We have, however,
never found phosphate of much use in
growing potatoes Potash fertilizers are
much better. There is considerable pot
ash in the potato, mostly in the peengs
which when properly baked are in bak, d

potatoes in their skins most of this potash
with some potato juices goes into the
water and dscolors 1t

The experiment made in Aroosotok
county of raising barley for the Ports
mouth breweres has got been success.
Only the finest quality of barley, such as
has been nurtured in much sunshine may
be used in the production of ale. A little
rain as the crop is ripening is liable to
affect it injuriously and Aroostook is very
liable to summer rains. The first year.
when the experiment was tried on limit
ed scale il promised success; but since
then nothing but failure has attended it.
When the proposition was first made to
raise barley for a brewery it aroused a
storm of criticism from people especially
interested in the cause of temperance, and
there Was much discussion on the subject
all over Maine. There were plenty Of
farmers willing to risk the immortality Of
the enterprise if it was practicable bust
ness venture, however, so the experiment
was tried on quite large scale.

New Demand for Horses.
New York JournaD.

Signs are multiplying that We are APP
preaching a critical period in the horse
market--lhe market. that is to say, for
horses suited for every day work OF
course this is said with all possible de.
ference TO those who assert that the end
of The horses utility is nearly reached.
The fact Is that we are just beginning
TO feel seriously the reaction from peri d
of overproduction. The net result OF that
time of excessive and indiscrimin tie
breeding is that horses are becoming
scarce. This spring horses are selling at
high figures whenever and wherever they
are OF the stamp that merits it, but the
real scarcity has not yet been appret lated.
Breeding establishment without number
have been broken up in The paDicky times
of the last FIVE years. Our export trade
has increased enormously, gu city and
gradually, but none the less surely, until
il is stated that 81 900 horses. apart from
ihoroughbreds and uotters shipped tor
racing purposes, were sent out OF the
country last year. In the main for trot-
ting blood converted to the pupose of
high stepping harness work, many stall
lions have been put to the stud, while
mares that with a flush market would
have been held too precious for sale have
been exported or devoted to active work
here.
From these. and may be some other
causes, the supply is not equallins the de-
mand. The spread of the horse show has
done much TO make the public's taste in
horsefesh exacing, and now it is com
mon to hear dealers of high standing COM
plain that, search as they may they can
not find material 10 suit the taste OF the
purchasers, who are willing to pay big
figures for good animals.
These are matters that the farmer will
do well to ponder. The time was never
ripper for man to reap returns from CAPT
tai wisely invested in high class breeding
stock. 1t does not pay and probably
never will pay again, to breed indiscrimi-
nately from trashy stock, but there is
every prospect that the market for all
varieties of horses that approximate the
bes, types will not only stay strong, but
that something like famine prices will be
paid within the next two or three years

Value Of the Suns Rays.

A California doctor has this TO say of
the curative value of the suns rays: 1t is
astonishing how few people there are who
properly estimate the hygienic value of
the suns rays. A valuable lesson on this
point may be learned by observing the
lower animals, none of whom ever Neglect
an opportunity to bask 10 the sun. And
the nearer man approaches to his print.
tive condition the more he is inclined to
follow the example of the animals. 1t is
natural instinct, which civilization has
partially destroyed in the human race.
The effect of sunshine is not merely Their.
NAL, its rays have chemical and electric
functions 1t is more than possible that
sunshine produces vibrations and changes
of particles in the deeper tissues of the
body as effective as those of electricity.
MANY know by experience that the relief
it affords 10 wearing pain, neuralgia and
inhammatory, is more effective and lasting
than that OF any application whatever
Those who have face ache should prove it
for themselves, sitting in sunny window,
where the warmth falls full on the cheek.
For nervous debility and insomnia, the
treatment OF all others is rest in SUM hine.
There is no tonic like 1t, provided the
good effects are not neutralized by i'll feed
ing. To restore a wiIhered arm. palsied
rheumatic limb, or to bring case of nerv
Gus prostration up speedily, most eff
cient part OF the treatment would be to
expose the limb or the person as many
hours to direct sunlight as the day would
afford. With weak lungs, let the sun fall
full on the chest for hours. II internal
humor or liberation is suspected, let the
SUI burn through the bare skin, directly
on the point Of disease, for hours daily
There will be no doubt left in the mind
that there is a curative power in the
chemical rays of the sun. For the chilli.

Sweet Peas,

Sweet peas will grow anywhere, but will
give best results on clay soil A good
method is to select your bed the previous
fall enrich with thoroughly rotten manure
and spade deeply; this will leave ground
in nice shape for early spring planting
Do not spade ground in spring, as a stiff,
firm soil is best Never use fresh manure.
Early in spring, the earlier the better, sow
your seed in double rows about 10 inches
apart. Hollow out drills, so they will be
about or 3 inches deep in stiff clay, or a
or inches deep in the light, loose soil,
firm soil in the trench with the foot; this
is important; on this sow your seed twice
as thick as you want them to stand in row
to be sure of full stand; cover seed
about inches deep and firm soil. Do
not hill up, as it is better to have slight
depression so as to catch most of the water
after rains. Thin plants to inches apart
before they commence to vine. Hoe only
shallow between plants. For support use
poultry wire or brush. For long season
of bloom. mulch and water in dry weather.
and pluck flowers freely as they soon stop
blooming if you let seed form.

Planting Out Roses.

In the Gu tivation of roses much depends
on the start In the first place procure
the best plants possible for planting, not
necessarily the largest, the oldest, or the
finest sorts at highest prices, but endeaver
to obtain such plants as are slocky, well
rooted. naturally strong growers, and
such as by nature are apt to be free from
disease. go A good rule, however, would
be TO plant as soon as all danger of frost
is over and the ground is warm Nothing
is gained by putting out plants while the
gound is cold and there is likelihood Of
frost or very cold nights. Field grown
roses must necessarily be planted out
earlier than pc. grown stock, as they do
best when planted in dormant condition
They also may require some pruning, If
not already pruned when sent out by the
nurseryman or fl ,rist. First, spade up the
soil to depth of 10 inches, or as the
gardener would say, two spades deep"
which depth may seem to the notice to be
rather unnecessary, but it is quite essen.
tial that the roots have plenty of room in
which TO work. Second, remove from the
bed one-third of the soil and replace it
with the same bulk OF well-rotted manure
(well-rotted COW manure is unexcelled for
this purpose), in which has been incorpor-
ated some finely chopped sod. Spade
this compost thoroughly into the soil in
the bed. and the back of the spade mash
all clods or Jumps. Bear in mind that
this spading and working of the soil must
only be done when the soil is in good
conditi IN as regards mois ure, for it the
soil is worked when pasty or too wet, the
chances are that it will be ruined for the
whole season. until the action Of frost and
winter weather mparts to it again its
natural friableness
In setting out the roses in the bed do
not neglect the all-important firming of
the soil about the base of the plants.
This should be done by trodding the soil
well with the feet, Immediately about the
base OF each plant, but not over all the
surface of the bed -Woman's Home Com.

Insuring Personal Property.

An insurance agent lately gave a custom
er little advice in relation to insurance
on personal property, which it would be
well for all policy holders to follow. When
a loss on personal property is reported the
company, through its agent or the aojus'
e,. calls upon the policy holder to produce
list of the property destroyed together
with its value. This is often difficult, and
sometimes losers are unable to remember,
in their excitement Immediately following
FIRE. many valuable articles which have
been destroyed. A case is cited of list
made out by wellto do family, in which
the mother and two daughters each los. a
good sewing machine and did not think of
them until the special agent in looking
over their list asked if they did not have a
sewing machine in the house. The plan
suggested Is to make such list in ad.
vance and file it with the policy, and then
if fire occurs it will be ready. The best
way to make such list is to 60 into each
room separately and write down list of
the articles therein. with the value of
each. If this is attended to when the
policy is taken out, and both the policy
and list kept in some safe place in another
building from that in which the insured
pro oerty is kept, much trouble may be
avoided.

The Rhode Island Experiment Station
found this year that potatoes grown from
seed imported from Germany and Bavaria
resisted blight much better than those
commonly grown, and that the vines kept
green two weeks longer with the same
treatment. Now they propose to see
whether this quality will continue in the
seed grown from them. If it does not,
but new seed must be imported every
year, the cost of seed may exceed the gain
by the prolonged season OF growth 1t
may be proven yet that spraying with the
Bordeaux mixture at the same time the
Paris green is applied to kill the Colorado
beetle will so check the blight and pro-
long the growing season that it will not
be necessary to change seed for that pur.
pose. Experiments that have been report
ed by some OF our readers would indicate
that this is the case.
