Jackson, with parting thrust only
said: Jess you wait until tomorrow
and den you'll see ma Hannah beat
your Franklin" Tomorrow was tn
be the day Of the great spelling match
and it would decide between the cham
pionshfp of Hannah and Franklin.
On the day following bright and
early, Hannah started from home with
her speller tucked under her arm, con-
fident that she would win as she knew
all the words they had gone over, per-
fectly, while she felt sure FranklIn
did not. She had Just passed hia

turning she saw Franklin just comina
out of his gate. He soon caught up to
her and together they walked to the
school house, talking OF tho coming
spelling match. Her heart melted
and ached for him as she heard him
saying he did not know all the words.
The teacher called tho school TO orr
der and after roll call said: Chill
luns, you can now choose your cap
tins fur de spellin' match. Whereup-
on the supporters of Franklin, most
" female) forthwith called out his
name, and also the friends OF Hannah
(mostly male) placed her at the head
of the opposite side.
Now. the struggle begins, up the
long line of eager little black faces
and down the other go the hard words
until, one by one, the sturdy little
coons drop out and after a warm con-
test of 40 minutes, Franklin and one
supporter stand on his side, and Han-
nah Washington is alone on the other,
The excitement is intense, but all feel
confident OF Hannah's triumph. What
is that word which the teacher Ii say

Franklin, although 1t Is Hannah's turn
TO spell. "Catacomb Is the word and

Phil. ID. Armour, Jr., Was Ill But
Twenty-four Hours-Died of Com
gestion of the Lungs.
PASADENA, Gala, January N.-News
has been received Of the sudden death of
Phil. d. Armour, Jr at Montecito, near
Santa Barbara Young Armour was i'll
but twenty-four hours and his death was
due to congestion of the lungs. He was
thirty-one years of age. He left Chicago
three weeks ago in excellent health.
CHICAGO, Ill., January 27-The news
of the death of Philip D. Armour, Jr.,
youngest son of the millionaire Chicago
packer, at Montecito, near Santa Bar
bara, Gala, came as complete surprise,
as it was known that when he left for the
Pacific coast he was in the best of health.
Philip d. Armour, Jr. with his wife and
two children, aged seven and five went
to California two weeks ago. the double
purpose of their visit being apprehension
for the health of Mr.. Armour's Oldest child,
Philip D. Armour, III, and a desire to be
near Philip D. Armour, Sr., who had pre-
ceded them with his wife fortnight or
more
Philip D. Armour, the elder, whose health
is not of the best, had taken residence
in Pasadena, and his son went to Santa
Barbara, seventy-five miles distant, believ-
ing the climate there would be of greater
benefit to his child's health. Mr.. Armour, the
younger, leased a winter residence, and so
far as reports were received he at no time
was Ill after his arrival there, until the
sudden malady which ended last night in
his death.
Mrs. ]. Ogden Armour and her child
are in Pasadena with Mr.. and Mrs.
Armour, Sr.
Mr.. Philip Armour, Jr., was thirty-one
years old. He was born in Milwaukee, but
when a small child came with his parents
to Chicago. He attended Phillips Andover
Academy, and later Yale, but after two
years left the University and travelled ex-
tensively in Europe. Soon after his re-
turn from Europe and when he was barely
of age he married May, the daughter of
John T. Lester.
Mr.. Armour was a member of the Chi
cago, the Calumet, the Athletic and the
Wheaton golf clubs. He was one of the
three members of the firm of Armour 81
Co., the other two being his father and
his brother, J. Ogden Armour. He was not
an athlete but always had reasonably good
health and his sudden death will cause a
great surprise to all who knew him.

EARLY POTATOES.

correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Reaching the market early with new
potatots ia the plain secret of profit
abilene So with such crops. Fall ploW
ing is practically a necessity, except
on thin sandy soils, and cross plowing
as soon as the weather breaks is the
second step. There il more or less risk
in seeding before the soil warns thor
oughly, but this FISK must be taken If
an early market is Co be reached; also
the tubars must be we'll grown, as
green" tube cook solid and are a
little worse than tastsless With new
potatoes the comm IN practice is to ap
ply the fertIl z3c with Tia seed, and
trust to Pr)vId ancs. A the whole
crOo is put through with a rush, there
is no time to prepare the seeding bed,
and rest for ten days or two weeks be

z3rs sometimes damage the crop.
All fertilIz 'rs. practically, when
mixed in the soil a few weeks, lose in
furious properties. When, however,
the tender ro ootlets push out, only to
encounter raw acid phosphate. the re
sul5 is nevitably death and decay.
There is No risk in applying potash
and p1osphates some weeks before
seeding. in fact. this is the best way TO
use suoh fertilizers but the nitrogen
should be applied at seeding time, or
even later, it nitrate Of soda is used
The crop is painted usually in drills
just far enough apart to admit OF
horse. hoeing, therefore, broadcasting
the potash and acid phosphate is per
feccly safe, and it should Oe done on
top of the cross plowed soil, before the
smoothing hacrows are put at work
Used in this way the c1lorIdes of pot
ash, which are commonly thought to
be injurious to potatoes (kainit and
muriaIe) are entirely harmless and as
useful as the high grade sulphate.
Used in this way, it is supposed of
course that an ample quantity has
been used, there are few farm crops
which resent more quickly, niggardLy

GROWING SWEET POTATOES.

correspondence ot the Progressive Farmer.
Sweet potatoes are gro Rn success
fully in one half the area OF the United
States. The crop produces from 100 TO
800 bushels 90 the acre in the States
South of Nebraska and NeW York and
fair yields are reported from N aine
aud the warm valleys Of the irrigated
West. TIE last official census gives
the yield for the entire country a. A
QUO OOO bushels. Expert growers essI
mate the actual cost Of production
from 10 TO 30 cents per bushel. There
is certainly good profit in growing the
crop. have sold good sweet potatoes
at ten cents per pound, but the general
market price will not average more
than one third. or even Rs low as one
fourth that amount. Sometimes Ger
tain conditiC ns cause very l)w prices,
as in other farm products, but, as
general rule, the market remains very
good.
A warm, sandy, we'll drain ed soil il
the ideal spot for sweet potatoes. The
crop will not be satisfactory on heavg
clay land nor on old wornout fields.
Ne land is very good for the plant If
it has not been highly fertihz ID with
barny ard manure. The pota' oes will
not grow to very great success in the
shade, nor on a cold hillside.
The sweet potato is a.hFavy feeder
and removes much plant food from the
soil According to reports OF the U
S Department. of Agriculture, 195
Ou-heIs req lire: 10 pounds phospho -Ic
acid, % pounds nitrogen and so pound
potash,
The potato thrives best on sandy
s1ils, and these as a rule, contain the
least food. An average applicationfor
sweet potatoes should be about: 10 to
so pounds per acre of fertilizer run
nng, Say, 6 per cent. phosphoric acid,
8 per cent. potash and per cent nitro
gen, to be used before planting and
well mixed with the soil.
Sweet potatots are best grown from
plants, These are started in a hot0ed
or cold frame Ny bes9plan for getting
the plants is the cold frame. Dig the
