Effect Of Exposing Potato seed.

Some interesting and valuable cNpcr.
imcnts were made last season by the
Ontario Experiment Union i'm time and
method of planting potatoes. Fifty
three practical farmers reported on the
effects of planting directly after cut
ting the seed, and planting five days
after cutting It, by the first method
a little over 10 bushels 10 the acre
were obtained. by the second 157G
bushels.
II was noted on one farm that there
was difference of twenty-five per
cent. in yield and quality of a few
rows in the field The only way in
which the difference could bc account
ed for was the fact that some of the
potato seed had been exposed in the
rows To the sun FOR few hours before
covering. The effect of coating the
seed with plaster was also tested. The
coated seed gave an average of 1914
bushels. the uncoatcd l65 bushels and
the product of the coated seed was con.
sidcrahly better in quality. The work
of coating the seed can be done very
quickly. either by throwing the seed
into the plaster or SprinklnG the plas-
ter over the seed with Il shovel and
mixing IT, Probably the great adyan-
tagc of the plaster is in preventing the
seed from dying ont too quickly.

which has been submitted by Edward

the greatest possible concentration, he
proposes TO group all the buildings

sCribed in Mr.. Furrells proposal:

acres of water, an interior plateau be

archways all around, surrounded by

with strawberries and flowers, in ac-

Origin of writing.

Arthur J. Evans. discoyerer of the
remains of a great prehistoric palace
at KnosSos. in Crete, which is believed
to be the original Of the tabled "Laby-
rinth." says that the revelations made
there carry back the existence OF writ
ten documents on Greek soil some
eight centuries beyond the earliest
known monuments of Greek writing.
and five centuries beyond the earliest
dated Pboenican record as seen on
the Moabitc stone. These discoveries.
therefore. place the whole question Of
the origin OF writing on new basis
Mr.. Evans thinks that the Cretan
hieroglyphs exactly correspond with
what, in virtue OF their names, we
must suppose to have been the picto-
rial originals Of the Phocnician letters
on which the alphabet is based.
Among these are aleph. the ox's head;
beth. the house; dalcth. the door. and
SO forth This contravencs the old
theory Of De Rouge that the Phoeni-
clan letters were derived from early
Egyptian forms signifying quite diff.
ferent objects-Youth's Companion.

WISE WORDS.

Half the difficulty Of fChting any

hard task vanishes when n man feels
that he has comrades AT his side fight

OF those he loves are upon him, and
their hearts praying for his victory.
Whether any particular day shall
bring 10 you more Of happiness or Of
suffering is largely beyond your pow
or to determine. Whether each day
OF your life shall give happiness or
suffering rests with yourself.
The truest help we can render an
afflicted man is not TO take his burden
from him. but to call out his best
strength. that he may be able TO bear
the burden.
