KILLING POTATOES.
Some Advocate the Practice, Others
Declare 1t to Have Value Only
as q Tradition.

There are those that advocate killing
up potatoes, and there are others that
oppose the practice. The latter peo-
pie are sometimes inclined to pose as
reformers and imagine they will have
accomplished much good if they can
only succeed in making level culture
of potatoes universal. We have heard
men declare that the killing of pota-
toes in this country is due to our habit
of following custom long after the
circumstances that gave it birth have
ceased to exist. They say that the
Irish hilled them up to keep them out
of the excessive wet, and that now no
excuse exists for the practice. But
those that are advocating change in
this matter should not be too sure of
their ground. There is much truth in
the argument they make, but it is not
all truth.
Whether level or hill culture is the
best depends on local conditions, and
general rules cannot be formulated.
More than that seasons differ in their
III iASoo anu WCtACSSy anu llc fdIId-
lions of rainfall make an immense diff
ference in the results. We know
man that followed level culture of po-
tatoes successfully for number of
years and advocated it. But one year
the rains during the whole season were
excessive, and the heavy ground il
which his crop was growing was con-
stantly soaked and sometimes water
was standing on it. The neighboring
fields that had the rows elevated gave
fair results, but the level culture fields
were drowned out. Perhaps a well
drained field even in such a year would
have given good results; but it is fact
that many fields which should be
drained are not. On low fields, vita
heavy soils, level culture of potatoes is
often unsafe. The progressive farmer
will learn to adapt principles to his To-
cal conditions.-Farmers' Review.

Simple Means by Which They Can BE

Most vegetable growers and also
those who raise flowers are often great
ly annoyed by the cutworm at trans
planting time. An entire garden set
with young plants may be practically
devastated in few nights by this
worm. Being hidden enemy, it is all
the more difficult to control.
I have found the device shown at a
in the illustration very successful in
keeping cutworms from injuring my
garden. The pest cuts off the young
plants just above the ground during
the night. To prevent this, take any

Birds and insect pest..

tits much easier to destroy birds than
insects, but as the number Of birds is
reduced the insects multiply. The
wren is very useful bird and may
be induced to remain near dwelling
houses if boxes are provided for them,
but as they are unable to contend
against English sparrows the entrances
to the wren boxes should not be over
an inch in diameter, as the wren is very
small and can protect itself by going
where the sparrow cannot follow.
Every encouragement should be given
birds by feeding them and providing
suitable places for their protection and
accommodation.

A RAILWAY MAIL CLERK
Yy oY wARMAN.


Copyright. 1900 by Cy warmsn.l
Railway mail clerks are not railway
employees, although they are under the
orders of the railway officials when on
the road. They are. as a class.
bright lot OF men. They bring more
brains and acquired skill into their
work than any class of the govern
ment employees, in proportion to the
amount Of money they draw. They
ride the fastcst trains In the country,
and ride ahead. on most roads their
car is coupled to the locomotive and
they take whatever Is lcft when the
grim reaper has finished with the en-.
gincmcn.
Reliable statistics show that the
mortality among railway mail clerks
through railroad accidents IL greater
than that among the troops In the civil
war. These clerks are required to
pass an examination at n rating of
more than 80 per cent Department
employees at Washington are given 80
days Tncation each yeat, but the rail-
way mail clerk is called upon to face
the dangers of midnight rides 10
months in the year. knew one mail
clerk intimately and found him one of
the most interesting characters I ever
met The story Of his evcntful life
wonld be interesting nt any time. and
ought to be especially apropos here as
an illustration of the character of the
average railway mail clerk and of the
dangers through which he passes.

fascinate these strange and lazy chill

appear picturesque and interesting.
The first Indian we saw looked very
ancient. He was OF medium height,
and his long gray hair hung over his
shoulders. A pipeful of tobacco ap-
peared to be the height of his ambi-
tion. This old mah seemed uncon.
scious of the presence of any one else
In the world but himself. Soon n
crowd of at least 80 persons were be-
fore him and surveying with curious
eye the contented Indian. One ven-
turesome youth poked him with an
umbrella, but the sly old fox never
moved, and brakeman afterward
said the same performance took place
every day in the year. The old fellow
seemed to enjoy admiration.
Most people bring cameras with

CLEOPATRA'S MINES.
A L.ndon Diamond Merchant Thinks
He Has Made N Discovery,

Somewhere In Egypt are the richest
emerald mines in the world. When the
fascinating Cleopatra was queen, these
mines were part Of her possessions, aud
she kept a Number of slaves constantly
engaged in working them. Day by day,
urged on by the lash of the taskmastcr,
flc slaves sought for these rare gems.
nnd each day the output Of the mines
was sent to the queen. This is a matter
of history. So, too. Is the fact that the
beautiful Cleopatra Ind so many OF these
l'ems that she was in the habit OF be.
utowing them upon those to whom she
desired to show her favor.
When Cleopatra died, the location Of
these mines was forgotten. For years
mines of gold. emeralds. and other pre-
cious stones had been in operation, and
yet they disappeared as mysteriously as
