FOR THE FARMER,
Irish Potatoes.

Perhaps no plant appreciates a
good rich soil nor pays for it bet
ter than the Irish" or common
potato Then take the best soil
and make it as rich as you can, if
it is not already so Care should
be taken in selection of seed; some
claim that the crown or seed-end
eyes are the best. Others say the
stem only should be planted, |
think l can explain this difference
of opinion, although | have but
little experience in raising them.
The eyes on the seed end are
more numerous than on the stem
end, and when cut off and put
two pieces in the hill, will produce
several stalks to the hill, while
with the stem end, taking two
with one eye each, the stalks will
be less in number to the hill. l
know a hill of potatoes with few
stalks gives larger potato. |
would say where there are several
stalks to the hill, pull out the
weaker ones, as you would pull
weeds out of the hill. A great
secret in potato yields is not to
have too many eyes in one piece.
Cut large potatoes for seed, and
plant deep in the soil. When
potatoes are planted in dry, rich
soil, it is best to cultivate without
killing, which allows the rainfall
to settle about the roots and in
sures also larger, better and more
potatoes than when billed up"
which certainly turns the water
away.
tow-iieaded Trees.
For several reasons, low headed
fruit trees are to be preferred.
They resist wind better; the fruit
is more easily gathered, and the
bark insect which lays its eggs on
the bare trunk, to be Matched out
by the warm sunshine, is headed
off Then there is less danger of
sun-scald, as the branches spread
ing out, in a measure, at least
shade the trunk.

o'clock at night" Another ordinance
makes it an offense for the conductor
of a street car to start the car before
all passengers have entered the car or
all those who wish TO get out have
alighted. Persons are forbidden to
throw stones or to stain or disfigure in
any way any trees or statues. The
driver of loaded cart is forbidden to
sit in the cart or stand in it and must
conduct the animal by walking along
side of it. Any person convicted of
any of these offenses can be fined as
much as SO or sentenced to hard labor
for 30 days with the labor gang on the

Storing "A Sawed on Leg. $3.50.

The executors of the eccentric mill
lionaire, John II. Pearson of Concord,
y. H., the contest over whose will was
settled recently, have been called upon
to pay many peculiar claims from cred
itors. One of these was for storing
an amputated leg of Mr.. Pearson, says
the New York Sun. Eleven years ago
Dir. Pearson had to have one of his
legs amputated. He decided to keep the
leg and have it buried with him. He
accordingly handed it over to a Con-
cord druggist with orders to preserve
it and produce ii for burial at the
proper time. This the druggist did.
One OF the bills presented to the ex-
ecutors is for the storage and care Of
John H. Parsons amputated leg" the
charge being s., 40. or about 81 a day.

in Il fog. looking for obstacles, writes
special correspondent of the New
York Journal from Natal. Suddenly
we went head first into n deep ditch
or donga. as the Beers call it. These
dongas are very like the banks of tide
river creeks in New England, abrupt
| and neck high with mud.
Tired out with Is continuous hours

of the day, l dragged myself and then
my horse out of the mud. Soon we
struck some ant hill country, which

the Egyptian darkness came voice.
l would have rejoiced If it had been 4
Boer or an Apache Indian, but it prov

Together we followed the black line
of the hills on the right. 1t was use
less to attempt to reach the road. All
that we could hope was that we might
strike it unawareS. Two more stray
glers came into our ranks, and we
moved cautiously onward, cutting our
way through wire fences and making
no effort to circumvent obstacles. To
see man or horse in front was impos-
sible, and the only means of keeping in
touch was by shouting.
Painfully picking our path among
stones and ant hills, we were brought
up suddenly at the edge of dark
chasm. One of our company had fallen
headlong into a spruit, or stream.
When we had hauled him out and got
his horse on TO the bank, we congratu-
lated ourselves on this timely discov-
cry. This was Modder spruit and gave
a ciew to the road. AS we were NOV

time seemed doubtful whether he
ought to be grateful. From the drift
the journey was comparatively easy.
though only two of the party-the
Englishman and myself-succeeded in
reaching Ladysmith that night. Four
were swallowed up in the darkness
and wandered about the wilderness of
stone and grass until daylight. When
the sentry challenged my entry into
the town, my horse had carried me 10
hours.

REMARKABLE FOSSIL FIND.
Evidences of n Prehistoric Civilian
tiOn Found In Kansas.

ton Found In Kansas.
Evidences of Il prehistoric civiliZa-
ton on what is now the broad prairie
land of Kansas have just been dug
from 80 feet below the surface of the
ground by J. W. Dice, an Allen county
farmer, says Il Fort Scott (kan) dis
patch to the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. Mr.. Dice has also discovered
some most remarkable fossils of an
cient animals. His first discovery was
on the banks of the Neosho river,
where that stream joins his farm,
near Neosbo Falls. 1t consisted of the
skeletons of two immense buffaloes
which were found standing erect be-
tween 90 and 20 feet below the sur
face. Their positions were natural, in
dicating that they had been suddenly
caught by some subterranean disturb
ance or swallowed by a bed of quick
sand. Immediately over them was
growing n walnut tree measuring four
feet in diameter. This tree was with
out doubt between 300 and 400 years
old
Most interesting, however, of the dis
coverieS by Mr.. Dice are parts of n hui
man image, which seems to have been
made out of concrete. though it may
have been carved from a peculiar stone
not known TO this age. These pieces
We're found about 80 feet beneath the
surface. To ascertain to what age they
belonged or what hands probably made
them will be an interesting study for
scientists. The workmanship seems
to have been as artistic as modern
sculpture. The vicinity in which they
were found was occupied by the In
dams until about 50 years ago and
since that time it has been an unfre-
quented prairie.

The Best Prescription Is Groves
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle.
So That the People May Know just
What They Are Taking.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and ouinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Amy reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less" chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tones shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove's-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold
