TRIMMING POTATOES.
Exuerfeuced Grower Tells why He
In Not in Favor Of This Gem
orally Popular Practice.

Those who use small potatoes for
seed usually get more stalks in q hill
than they like, and the question oc-
casionally comes: "Would it pay to
thin them out?" This has been tried
by many persons, and know one ex-
tensive grower who finds it profitable
in his large fields. It is my own ex-
perience that such thinning does not
accomplish as much as the thinning
of corn. In the latter case each plant
is as thrifty for time as it would
have been If standing alone, while in
the case Of the potato large num-
ber of plants coming from the same
seed causes weakness. We want q
hardy, thick sprout from the start,
and while the thinning helps, the
remaining plants never become al
heavy and strong as they would have
been If the same amount of potatoes
had never fed more than two sprouts.
More than this, the thinning disturbs
some of the plants that remain, un-
less the work is very carefully done.
I should prefer to have the thinning
done if there are many plants from
a single small potato; but it is much
better not to have the extra plants,
and this Is secured by using large
tubers for seed, cutting to pieces of
two or three eyes.
Where ground has been hard-packed
by rains after planting this late sea-
son, good, close cultivation is needed.
The potato will not thrive in packed
soil. For such land deep cultiva-
tion, almost under the row, should
be given as soon as possible after all
the plants ore up nicely. This cuts
off some roots, but it gives loose SOIL
and if after-cultivation is shallow the
new roots quickly fill the well-loos-
ened soil, and there is a chance for
q yield that is not possible to a soil
hard-packed right after planting

ONLY ONE WHISTLE.
How the Rural Attorney Obtained
Damages for His Client
from the Railroad.

In the early days of the railroad in
Michigan there was a farmer who
owned two well-bred and useful dogs,
named Major and Tige, says Golden
Days. On certain morning the dogs
chased stray hog down the main
road, and on the return trip stopped
to play at the railroad crossing.
Needless of the conspicuous warning
to look out for the locomotive, Tige
was struck by that engine of destruc-
ton and killed, Major escaping by
sheer dog luck. Damage suits were
q new thing at the time, SO when the
owner of the dogs commenced an ac-
ton before a rural justice of the
peace there was an immense crowd OF
neighbors present at the hearing.
The engineer swore that he gave one
sharp blast Of the whistle as he ap-
preached the crossing. It looked as
though the railroad company was to
20 scot free, but the attorney for the
farmer knew his business-and also
the justice. "Your honor" he said, ''it
is required by the statutes in such
cases made and provided, that when
anv person or domestic animal is up
on a railroad and seen by the en-
qineer, he must sound his whistle. In
this instance, your honor, there were
two domestic animals innocently
playing on the track, and the whistle
was sounded but once, when it is q
positive legal requirement that It
should have been blown twice-once
for each dog" So convincing was this
argument that the country justice
would not even give the railroad at.
torney hearing, and awarded the
plaintiff the full amount of damages
sued for.

WOMEN WHO ANSWER "ADS."
time, According to This Mans
Experience.

1--WE actually got so that dread to
advertise for female employees" said
the manager of an art store, to a
New York Sun man. IF it was pos
sible to get through the work myself
I'd rather do it than to interview q
mob of feminine callers. -
ITO select q good assistant didn't
use to be such big job as it is now.
For one thing, there were not form
erly so many trifiers. You would be
surprised to know how many women
answer advertisements for help who
do not want employment and neither
could nor would take it if it was Of
to them at good salary. They are
what 1 call professional ADVERTISE
ment answerers.
II had occasion to. advertise only
last week for q clerk, and as q pro-
lection against these nuisances, 1
stated that no professional callers
need apply. Yet they came, at least
q dozen of them. Fortunately, I've
got so I can spot them on short no.
tice, and don't fool away much time
on them.
"When the unqualified callers first
began to besiege me in such numbers
was under the impression that the
regular FOUNDERS were the repre-
sentatives of agencies who wished to
get us on their list and furnish their
own applicant on commission, but 1
was mistaken in this, for while few
of the professionals are connected,
most of them pursue the fad on their
own accord. It is without doubt the
craziest hobby womankind has ever
ridden, and my only hope is that they
will soon run down.
"A goodly~ percentage of these
idlers are social reformers who are
bent on writing books and tracts and
things. Somewhere they have i'm
bibed the idea that men who employ
help are regular vampires, ever on
the lookout for new victims, and their
object in visiting us is to Investigate
our methods of securing clerks and
afterward acquaint the public with
our evil procedures. =.
"But can stand even these trouble
some spies with even more equanim-
ity than the woman who, finding time
hang heavily on their hands, tramp
around from office to Office for the
fun of the thing"

TRUE-HEARIED NAN:
Dy Elizabeth Cherry Waltz.

r. MAY not be much Of story for
those who like to read about peo-
PIE that are rich and raised above
common life and its necessities. All
the comedy and tragedy of life are not
in the wake of money, however, so
Nan had story as well as bright
brown hair and red cheeks.
Born on a northern Kentucky farm,
with perhaps two full years school
ing in her life, married at fourteen to
escape a grudging stepmother, wild
owed at fifteen with babe of few
months, it may be seen that Nan at
five and twenty, was we'll aware that
there were such things in the world
as poverty, suffering, struggle, good
and evil, importunate lovers and
faithless friends.
Something awoke in her then. 1t
was probably because of the chance
word of her mistress visitor, a broad,
brown man, who was smoking on the
wide porch of the summer house. She
heard him as she went driving flock
of young turkeys across the grass
plot. She heard him clearly:
II wonder if that woman knows she
is handsome in her way"
"Who, Nan?" replied the hostess,
turning languidly over in the ham,
mock, "really I never thought about
it. What good does it do her?"
Then the white-haired mother OF
seventy sitting by added gently:
'But Mamie is good-which is bet
ter. There is not soul about here
but likes her because she is SO un-
selfish"
"Handsome and unselfish," mused
the man, "a rare combination, l am
sure"
He noticed the woman again the
next day as he rode about the place,
saw her coming in from the great
vegetable gardens with a negro man
following her. She came fearlessly
up the tree-bordered avenue, her sun
bonnet in her hand, her russet hair
blowing, her eyes shining. Behind
her, old Billy carried a basket on his
head full of green lettuce and bright
red tomatoes. 1t was picture that
caught Hector Pryn's artistic fancy.
Equal to the French peasantry,"
he declared to his aunt; "a bit of
American life that ought to 60 on
canvas; I wonder if she would let me
use her as a model"
"She never saw picture outside
of this house," declared his sister-in-
law, "and it might make her angry. I
do not want to lose nv cook on &C
count of your need for q model" but
she laughed idly when she said it.
The white-haired mother came to
her rescue.

from their flavor. Again, rusty

Of delicious fruits, vegetables or dairy

pay big interest when it comes to the
selection of market vehicle.
It will often pay to build wagon
just suited to the needs Of the farm
whose crops are to be disposed of at
first hand, or at least to build a
wagon body that may be set upon
"low-down" running gear that may
already be at hand. The accompany
ing design of farm marketing wag-
on is presented for the consideration
of those who may find it expedient
to build. This wagon was designed
for the convenience of the farmer
and for the safe bestowa1 of his load

articles, such as cabbage, squashes,
melons, ETC., can be heaped up, while
'below deck" is q covered space, as-
cessible from four points, where such
articles as butter, cream, strawber-
ries, ETC., can be kept secure from
heat and dust. This interior space
can be reached from behind the cart,
the end letting down; from either
side through little. doors, and by lift
ing up the drivers seat in front. Ice
could be used in one of these apart
ments to keep cream, milk, butter
and tender fruits in the best condi-
ton. A canvas cover over the whole
will not only add to the attractive ap-
pearance of the outfit, but will pro-
tect the load from sun or showers.

with farm products of No. quality,
