An otherwise pretty good farmer
who. putting an acre of potatoes in in a
slpshod sort of way each year, had
never been able to get over 80 or go
bushels per acre got a pleasing surprise
when he gave his l2-yeaI-old boy an
acre of land to have what he could
raise upon it, the boy planting ii to pc,
tatoes and harvesting 225 bushels. The
boy first read up on potatoes, planted
selected seed. took good care Of the
crop and thus beat the old man all to
pieces.
We lost one of the finest apple trees
we had this fall-a tree six inches
through the trunk and apparently in
perfect health as the result of just
one sharp gust of wind which broke
ii off close to the ground. An exami-
nation showed that some years pre-
viously a borer had unseen made its
way into the tree and had so bored
its way that one side of the tree was
chambered and honeycombed to such
an extent that on that side the tree
was deprived Of support and anchor
age and thus ftll an easy victim to the
summer wind. Borers are very like
bad habits they must be looked out
for when they are very small.

Oriqin of McKinIey's Last Speech.

The genesis of President McMin-
ley's last speech at Buffalo is inter
esting. About three weeks before
his visit to the exposition city, the
President sat one evening at Canton,
smoking and thinking At the table
opposite him was Mr.. Cortelyou.
Soon the President, without uttering
a preliminary word, took his cigar
from his lips and exclaimed:
"Amity is better than animosity."
Then he went on smoking. A few
minutes later he said:
"Expositions are the timekeepers
of progress"
Another interval of silence, a few
more whiffs of the cigar, and the
President added:
Measures of reciprocity are better
than measures of retaliation"
Not another word was spoken by
the chief or secretary. But the next
day Mr.. Cortelyou placed before the
President a typewriter sheet bear
ing the above sentences, with wide
space between them
Hello" exclaimed President Nc
Kinley, eve have begun the Buffalo
speech! | didn't know you had TAX
en- down those words, Cortelyou."
Mr.. Mckinley took these headings
and from them evolved the address
which he delivered the day before he
was shot, the address which to
many of his friends sounded like a
valedictory, and which has not only
stirred American sentiment, but
aroused the attention of the entire
world.-Chicago Record.

Letter to A. G. Small.
Norris vile, Vt.

Dear riff you want your paint
to last as long as that OF other house
owners in your town is going to last,
you should use lead and zinc.
You can mix your own, or buy
Devoe, as you like. The results will
not be the same, however. Devoe
lead and zinc is ground in oil and
thoroughly mixed Machinery does
it. Hand.work can't compete with
machine work, either in cost or thor
oughness. Mixing by hand is imper-
feet mixing; and zinc is peculiarly
hard to mix; wants grinding.
Lead and oil is honest paint; but
less durable. Lead is tender and zine
is tough. The proper mixture
ground together is much better than
either alone. French painters use
zinc alone; but American paintens
think it is too hard, and mix it with
lead. Yours truly,
AT +. W. DEvoE & Co.

that Judge White is in the hands of
