Potatoes and Rye.

Potatoes do exceIIently well upon
land where a crop Of green rye has
been plowed in, being usually very free
from scab, fair and smooth, says the
American Cultivator. Early potatoes
can be taken of In time to sow rye,
which will make growth enough to

"Well, your dislike of needlework re-
minds me very much of my own child
hood. You know it was not the fashion
then for girls to play games as you do
now, and often got into sad scrapes
for running and climbing with my
brothers instead of sitting quietly at
my needle. One day my mother spoke
seriously to me and said I would never
be a useful woman unless l tried to
learn a little more, which made me cry
and promise to do my best. Finally,
she kissed me and promised that when
I should have finished a set of shirts
which l was then making, she would
give me gold thimble of her own. l

shirts were finished and l went trium-

turn l went to the schoolroom, to find
my work there, but not the th1mble.

Goins Back to- the Farms.


While the census shows that the cities
have increased in population more rap
idly than the smaller towns between
1890 and 1900, this increase is not gen.
orally so great percentage above that
OF the towns as was shown by the Gen.
sus of 1890 for the ten years previous
to that date. This is more particularly
true in what are known as the agricul
tural States than in those where large
manufacturing industries have been
established in or near the cities. And
even in the latter case there seems to
be tendency for many of the employees
to seek residence in the suburbs or
some small town near by, where they
are retired from the noise and hustle Of
the city, and where they can have room
to have fruit trees, garden and poultry
yard to occupy leisure hours. or such
days as they are not employed. And
perhaps some credit may be given to
the character of the immigrants who
have come to us. They are more largely
from agricultural sections, and prefer
to go to the country where they will be
classed as skilled laborers, than to join
the unskilled laborers of the city en-
gagged in the hardest kinds Of manual
labor.

More PLAY Needed.


1t used to be that boys and men who
worked had shorter working hours and
less work to do in the same time than
do the men and boys of to-day. Conse-
quently they had better opportunities
and greater inclination for recreation
of the healthiest kind. They felt able
to rise in the morning early enough for
gymnastics, their work the day before
not being so irksome as to make them
feel they needed every moment of sleep
possible, as is often the case nova
days, and in the late afternoons and
evenings they could enjoy an athletic
game. The girls some years ago exert
ed themselves mentally and physically
much less than they do now, their
course of study usually being mild in
comparison to the average of to-day,
and few of them were in business or
the professions. Therefore their need
was less for strengthening exercises.
Although the mental and physical
work that the men and women of this
generation do has greatly increased
they do not seem to have realized yet
tudL d IOlCC Is dUSOlutG-
ly necessary, for the number is growing
larger every day. We cannot help OBJ

whereof men and women who SLOUGH
along with dropping figure and drag
ging steps, the picture Of undeveloped
physical manhood and womanhood
There is nothing more pleasant to
look upon than strong, graceful, hap
py young man or young woman, and
the last two qualities depend on the
first and all three on physical exercises
and development.
Therefore, boys and girls, you know
what you must do to be happy and at
tractive, and it is your duty to be all
three. You can, of course, in varying
degree, and you ought to add much to
the beauty of this old world, whose fine
men and women are its most splendid
features.

Filled Cheese.

Here is what filled cheese has done
for this country since $780,: In that
year the United States exported 127,-
OOO, 600 pounds. 1t was that year that
our chief customer, Great Britain,
.smelled the rodent" The next year
the exports fell to 95,oOO,OOO pounds
and has gradually decreased until in
1890 we exported but 3S,O00.00O, of
which Great Britain took only 24,OOO,-
600 pounds. Honesty is the best policy
in cheese making. Canada and Den
mark are now supplying the trade that
once was ours.

Adapt the Crop to the Soil.


Alva Ager writes to the National
Stockman that last year he regretted
not having plowed up one acre of wheat
and planted it to potatoes. The soil
was too rich for the wheat, which
lodged before heads filed, and de-
stroyed the clover seeded with it. His
reason for not doing SO was that he did
want to cut off one acre for different
crop from the rest of the field. Result,
no returns for the labor done or seed
sown. Last fall he sowed it to rye, and
last spring planted it to potatoes,
adding $3 worth of acid phosphate, and
this fall he harvested over 200 bushels
of merchantable potatoes or $50 worth
as they sell there, besides the unmer-
chantaDIe ones. He thinks rock and
rye a good combination for his soil,
meaning the South Carolina phosphate
rock.

weeds in the Pasture.

A weed is as much "a plant out of its
proper place" in the pasture as else
where, and where the pasture is de-
voted to dairy stock it may be doing
more damage there than it would in

food-and moisture that are needed for
the useful plants, and it sometimes is
Of such character as to be poisonous
to the animal, and often weeds impart
unpleasant odors and flavors to the
milk and its products. If the pastures
could be cleared of weeds and bushes
and their place given to better grass,
not only would they produce enough for
many more animals, but the milk prod
ucts would be of more uniform good
quality. If the whole pasture cannot
be cleaned in one season, clear little.

may be plowed under in season to plant
potatoes again or some other later crop.
We do not Ike the idea of growing two
crops of potatoes on the same land for
two years in succession, but there are
many other crops which would follow
well after the rye was plowed in, and
nearly all crops can be taken off in time
to sow rye after them, which will be
large enough to plow under in the
spring. But do not trust to the rye
alone as fertilizer, but use it as an
addition to the other fertilizer applied.

THE STATE OF SEQUOYAH

Ia speaking Of the needs of the
Indian Territory, Commissioner
H. Z. DonCsrlos recently said to
a correspondent Of the Springfield

"While it is true that congress

Indian Territory, not only TO the
Eve civilized tribes, but to white
non-citiEens, who form the renting
class; yet If We look back over the
past six wears it will be seen that
this county has made great
strides. Te begin with, the en-
croachment Of the white man upon
the Indian domain, was recognized
by congress ten years ago, by the
establishment of courts here with
limited jurisdiction, Then the
Dawes commission was appointed
largely for the purpose of ascer-
tanning what persons OF the claim

New treaties with some of the FIVE

eral inspector for the Indian Ter

from every state in the union, and
each mans idea and knowledge of
the territory laws is confused with
the laws Of his own state and
home, the laws are irksome and
the people Of the territory are
anxious for the day to come when
the laws governing them will be
enacted by their own votes ex-
pressed through their representa-
tives in an independant statehood
with or without oklahoma; this
state, by the way, would be larger
than several of the eastern states
put together.
"First-The surveying of lands
in this country should be finished.
"Second--The settlement of the
claimant question completed.
"Third-That the membership
rolls of the different tribes be taken
and every Indian citizen be placed
in possession OF his allotment.
"Fourth-Laws providing for
free schools should be passed.
"Fifth-Provisions should be
made for the insane, blind and Or
phans.
"SIxth-Some provision should
also be made whereby people Of
the Irdian Territory could obtain
titles to their realty, thas enabling
necessary town improvements to
be made and taxes levied SO that
the towns can establish protection
against fire. This protection is
badly needed, as the disastrous
fires at Ardmore, Muskogee, Wag-
oner and other towns prove.
"Seventh-The bill introduced
by Congressman Gaines OF Ten
nessee would aid greatly in the.
government of this country should
it become law; as il would relieve
the district courts of large
amount of business. thus giving
the judges more time to devote to
their crowded dockets and to die

missioners jurisdiction in forcible

laws are now a land owner had
better give the renter Of cheap
farm or rental property two years
rent free rather than to undertake
to oust him by law; provision is
also made in this bill for the ar
rest and, trial Of persons charged
