Potatoes.

The farmers are generally winding
up their potato digging and there will
be potatoes TO bake Ia sufficient guam
titles for all demands as food. The
crop is turning out much better than
was anticipated. Some report an av-
erage up TO 200 bushels TO the acre on
fields Of from five TO twenty acres.
Some get 125 10 I5o, some $50 to l75
They are heifg marketed in large
quantities WISH "a average price ~ 90
cents Il bu>acl Rural New Workers
seem TO take the precedence In the
market aud Lave the preference be-
cause OF their fine, smooth appear
ance, White potatoes have the pref
erence IN the market, and with eyes
not deep seated. The Hudson Pro-
duce Company have oeen digging and
shipping their product the past two
weeks and have completed the job.
They planted Rural New Workers and
Carmen, the former making the best
returns, going about l75 bushels TO
the acre. The planting, cultivating
and harvesting of potatoes is not the
task it was. Machinery for the pur-
poses has lessened the labor OF raising
a given quantity and largely increased
the area devoted to the crop. Before
| che horse planter operated with two
-ses-and the four-horse digger 1t
was customary TO make gutter with
pillow or dig holes with hoe, drop
by hand from basket and cover them
with hoe or pillow, and digging was
done by hand with a hoe, fork or
spade. Now the ground is prepared
for the planting in the ordinary way
by blowing and working the ground
smooth and the dirt reasonably fine
with a drag Then the farmer hitch
es his team to the planting machine
which does perfect work. The tubers
are dropped in straight line an even
distance apart, are all planted at the
same depth and covered alike one
man with team and machine doing
with more ease and better In one day
what by tie old methods would re-
quire ten men Planting the pota-
toes in direct line gives possibility
OF better cultivation as the cultivator
car be set to cut the ground close to
the plants without cutting off any.
The four-horse digger also does per-
feet work, roofing out the tubers,
throwing the vines TO one side, shak
ing off the dirt and leaving them in a
narrow row on top OF the ground i'm
mediately behind the machine. Gull
tivators and Weeders, used with per-
sistence, keep the ground clean Of
weeds and no hoeing is necessary.
The ubiquitous potato bug is kept
from deyouring the plants By use Of
Paris Creen mixed with water and
sprayed on the vines by simple ma
chine that atomizes the mixture and
sprays a space at each passage across
the field of nearly two rods. The
picking up of the potatoes is still done
with the backache-one at time
one potato. 1t is said, however, that
fellow who makes a profession Of
picking up potatoes can cultivate his
hands by use and other encourage
ment to expand until he can rake In
several at a grasp.

Very Cheap Rates to Colorado

On special days this summer the rates
for roundtrip tickets over the Burlington
Route from Chicago, Peoria and st.
Louis to Colorado will be more than cut
in half, and on other days about half
rates will apply. Then, since we put our
fast trains on, it only takes one night on
the road to get there.
We are doing everything possible this
year TO make it convenient and not too
expensive for people of moderate means
to spend their vacation in the Colorado
mountains. There is no country in the
world like Colorado for invalids and others
in search of rest and pleasure. The pure,
dry climate has the most astonishing
permanent effect on the health and
spirits of visitors, and especially is this
so in the case of those from that part of
the country near to the level of the sea.
Write TO-DAY inclosjng &c. IN postage
for our beautifully illustrated book on
Colorado, and with it, if requested, will
send also our handbook of the state, Civ
ing information about the different
places, hotels, ranches, etc., and the
prices charged for board.

pointed out the light and said that he

the least needing the many objections
raised by the young lady. In truth, he
was filed with dismay concerning what
his father would say in view OF the
prospect of receiving n woman into

an opportunity to consider what his
own conduct should be toward her in
juxtaposition with all the prejudice
that had been instilled into his mind
against her sex. He knew already that
he did not like her. She was very diff
ferent from anything that he had ever
