FOR THE FARMER,
Planting and Keeping Potatoes

In planting potatoes do not pay
any attention to the moon; there
are some people foolish enough to
let favorable conditions for plant
ing go by while waiting for the
moon to get right Do not do this;
pay attention to the time of year,
condition of the soil and weather.
AS soon as the soil works we'll, if
the danger of hard freezing is
past, pillow the ground deep and
do not think any soil that is rich
is all right or various kinds of
trouble will result, such as more
vines than potatoes, scabby pota-
toes, etc. Land that has been in
pasture Glover preferably and
plowed under in the Fall ought to
grow good potatoes MANFRED
land, unless it has been plowed
under last Fall or previous, may
cause trouble. By all means do
not plant your potatoes in the
same place every year. Harrow
and keep on narrowing until the
soil is in good shape Select large,
smooth potatoes for seed and cut
them with not less than two or
more than three eyes to piece,
Do not cut them much ahead of
the planter, so they may be put
into the ground before drying out.
Plant your choice potatoes for the
same reason you plant your best
ears of corn. 1t is only now and
then that one is justified in plant
ing small potatoes, and that is
when they are very high priced
and one must buy their seed, as a
bushel of small potatoes will plant
more than buShel OF large ones
and can generally be obtained foi
about one-half price. But as po-
tatoes are very much inclined to
retrograde it is a bad rule to fol
low; the best seed is none toe
good. If sprouts have grown out
of the seed potatoes break then
off and do not allow them to
sprout again. One way to pre-
vent them from sprouting is wher

good prices if gotten onto market
early.
When making the onion plot
use the sets" instead of seed, and
set them in the rows as soon as the
frost leaves the ground. They may
be about 3 or a inches apart in the
rows, but for the large kinds more
room may be given. Begin work
ing them from the start, and es-
pecially after a rain, to prevent
them from being crowded with
grass and weeds. Where the mag
got attacked them last year such
land should be given over to peas
and new location selected for the
onions.

Man Resembles a Balloon.

Springfield, o., April 12.-George
Quick, a farmer who was run over
by a heavy wagon, is in a very cri-
tical condition at the hospital. One
of the fractures penetrated his lung,
making a bad hole, through which
the air escapes under the unfortu-

he is puffed up with air until he
looks like a small balloon. The doc
tors in attendance say it is the most
interesting case of the kind they ever

THE Puerto Rican bill has passed
and will be signed by the president
when one of Hanna's obligations
to the protected interests of the
east will have been discharged
The injustice of the measure is
apparent and is not defended even
by those who voted for it. The
vote was given simply at the dicta-
ton of party bosses and conscience
and conviction were disregarded
and trampled upon. 1t may be
that the immense campaign fund
which will be at Hanna's disposal
will purchase endorsement of the
action, but this is very doubtful.

INDlA's STARVING SUBJECTS.
Great Britain is Too Busy Grabbing
Land TO Feed Them.

Washington, April II The state
has made public one OF
the reports upon which it based the
statement to the navy department.
This particular report is from
United States Consul Fee at Bombay
and presents startling figures to IL
lustrate the extent of the visitation.
The report that Notwithstanding the
relief the returns far exceed those
during the initial stages of the famine
three years ago. 1t then affected
only 1000 900 persons; now the figure
is $500, 900 and the daily expenditure
is placed at s4S, 900. The famine area
covers 300 900 square miles, with a
population of 10000, 200 and there is
a further area of about 145 900 square
miles with a population of 2l, l,OOO,O
on which more or less distress pre-
walls and where relief has already or
will be distributed. The consul says
that the applications for relief are
over taxing the state authorities and
are increasing at an appalling rate

| lief works during the last week in
January advancing $50, 900 and bring
| ing up the total to 3,500,000 witt

months distant. In conclusion thc
consul expresses the fear that th'
South African war will so divert thu
attention and contributions of Eng
hshmen as to oblige India to tigh

Garrofe Still in Use.

Garrote Still i'm Use.
The execution of five criminals in
Puerto Rico by the inhuman Spanish
method of the garrote warrants the
storm of protest that comes from the
American nation.
Execution by the garrote was one
of the barbarities practiced by Spain
in tCuba against which the United
States protested. 1t was one intiu-
ence in many that warranted and
produced the interference by the !
United States which caused the |
Spanish war. The garrote was
q relic of the midiaeval inquisi-
ton chamber. The executioner
stood behind the seated victim and
by main strength twisted levers
that straugled the victim and fore
ed a sharp point of steel into his
neck between the head and the
spinal column. 1t was barbarous.
The war department authorities
who failed to prevent the inhuman-
ity declare that they did not inter
fere because their action might have
been taken as extending the laws
and the Constitution of the United
States to the island.
The insistence that the American
law is not yet in force in Puerto
Rico seems to have gone as far as it
should be permitted to go when it
leads to the very inhumanities
against which the United States pro-
tested in Cuba.
