"Greening' potatoes is practical
among some of the peasants OF Europe.
In this country we do not think
greened potato il good for anything,
and SO We always keep them out OF
the light. II they are allowed to re-
main in the light and become green,
they become too strong In flavor to be
eaten. But 1t is said that such pota-
toes make good seed. The peasants put
them in a sunny place and they are
turned over every day till they become
fully green, after which they are
stored. 1t II said that potatoes 30
treated do not sprout readily and will
stand greater degree OF cold. They
are also said to be less affected by rot.
In the spring their vitality IL good
and they readily grow when planted.
However, the facts OF these assertions
have yet to Be demonstrated on this
side Of the water. and 1t may be found
that there 10 NO advantage at all In
the greeuing.

The story OF success is always a
pleasing one, instilling hope in the
breast OF the listener and stimulating
him to greater endeavor. The man who
scores success In his particular line
of legitimate undertaking contributes
materially to the general prosperity of
his community and Is working ele-
ment in the welfare of the world. The
development of that section of the
United States so Indefinitely character
ICED as "the West" has furnished many
worthy examples OF surmounting great
obstacles, overcoming discouragements,
and of the final triumph OF the sturdy,
perseyering pioneer. Many are the
experiences related. showing the mar
velous possibilities OF the country
when backed by level Judgment and
willing muscle. One mans require
ments often happily combining with
Another's ability work great advantage
to both. Such q circumstance effected
the beginning OF the success OF Fred
Wellhouse, Of Kansas. the most extern
sive commercial orchardist in the
United States. He IL widely known
as the apple king" OF Kansas. and
the story of his eminently successful
career in orcharding should be an in
spiration to all who read 1t. Some
thing of 1t is related here by Mr.. F. d.
Coburn. secretary OF the Kansas board
Of agriculture.
The year 1875 found Mr.. Wellhouse

knowledge OF tree-growing and or

probably none are much exceeded by
clover in the large proportion of nutrs-

other leguminous crops are much like
red clover. Glover seed is the best
manure that a farmer can use. Glover

adequate supply OF combined nitrogen

limits the actien OF the rest. For high
farming or the raising OF exceptionally

The better houses in Manila differ in

story is of wood. being complete in

it Will settle together. The ceilings are
covered with cloth instead OF plaster. A
riage way. Between three and four
feet above the floor Of this story is a
wide window ledge with grooves run
ming the whole length Of every side.
In these grooves slide blinds and also
frames in which are set small squares
of oyster shell (called ''conchasO. Both
blinds and conchas run the full length
of each side. Either or both can be
closed at the same time. and both can
be slid back to the width of one at each
end, leaving the whole side open, and
allowing the air to circulate as freely
as in shed. The roofs were formerly
made of heavy curved tiles. Now gal
vanized iron is used, as it vastly de-
creases the chance of the roof falling
during an earthquake, and lessons the
damage if it does. On the other hand
the iron roof is much more likely to be
blown or by the terrible typhoons. The
native houses are built of bamboo, wit b
matched roofs made of the leaf Of the
nipa palm and elevated from six to ten
feet on bamboo poles.
