10 is not recorded what Mr. White

zine appeared, with an article on the
leather trade conspicuously absent,
and II pages of leather advertising
printed in the supplement. Perhaps
they reviewed Henderson's language
in their minds, and decided that it
was best to laugh and say nothing.
But years afterward Henderson wrote
a story about It, This is the story

"Well, not exactly" explained Hem

tising man temporarily. My real
place, you see, is in the editorial
rooms"
"And they send an editor out to
get advertising?" Mr. White laughed,
and young Henderson looked wearily
at the tips OF his shoes. The mer.
chant touched bell and sent for Mr.
5truthers.
"Mr Struthers," he said, ethis is
Mr.. Henderson, of the editorial de-
partment Of the Open Air Magazine
--Bland's new paper. They're going
to print a long article about The
leather houses in the October issue.
Do we want to take any advertising
spaee?"
"Sort of a special trade number,
Mr.. Henderson," asked Struthers.
"I suppose you'd call it that" Hem
derson answered "We shall have 20
leather pages, at least"
Mr.. Struthers opened his eyes.
Twenty pages? That's great
write-up. Let me see-what's your
rate?"
Henderson considered. Terry had
said nothing about the rate. He
made a hurried calculation.
"Oh. about $50, he faltered. "Thir-
ty dollars a page, 1 guess"
Mr. Struthers opened his eyes stil
wider.
That's cheap enough, isn't it2"
suggested Mr.. White
"Why, yes" said Struthers. "Tate

ent that the "old man" wanted to try

Accordingly Henderson produced a
contract blank, and the bargain was
concluded.

sweet Potato Culture.

Where one makes a speciality of
this crop it is important that the nee
essary arrangements for securing
plants early and abundantly be pro-
vided. Well managed cold frames
provide perfect arrangement for get
ting the plants as early as it is safe
to put them out in open ground when
the cold frames are made tightly and
put in order about the middle of jan
uary, and the glass kept on and no
cold rain allowed to fall in them, the
tempera ture of the soil and the sub
soil may be raised to the point suit
to the termination of the potato
sprouts. If as it sometimes happens
the weather of middle January is
warm and calm it will be only a few
days after the frames are covered be-
fore the temperature is sufficiently
raised to permit of bedding. Then
some of the soil may be taken out of
the frames and the potatoes laid on al
most touching afterwards covering
them with three or four inches of soil,
pressing the soil firmly on the pOta-
toes. Then water the bed with wa
ter at least 60 degrees of temperature.
If convenient the water may be heated
to advantage up TO 80 or 100 degrees.
i'm below the potatoes. Then put on
the glass and let it stay uninterrupt-
eddy for about a week. AS the pota-
toes give indicatio of sprouting adj
init air to the frames on warm days,
but covering them any night that the
air is at all cool. AS the sprouts pop
through work around them with Il
stick and water sufficiently to press
the soil about them. If the weather Is
suitable and past the time for the
average killing frost of spring. which
with us. is about the goth of April,
the plants may be drawn and set out.
In higher localities it may
be better to use hot beds, but
below "a degrees properly made
cold frames will answer every pur-
pose. OF course. the ordinary plan of
bedding i'm the open ground does very
we'll for ordinary purposes, and few
farmers adopt any other. 1t is not
practicable to get plants as early by
such a plan, but it is not necessary
that potatoes be planted out in April
to make good crops. Just as good
crops may be secured by May settings.
In fact. almost as good crops may be
obtained by June setting, If the soil
is good and the crop well cultivated.

PREPARATIONS for watermeIons.

A few hills for family use may be

IN the fall or early winter dig holes
about 10 feet part each way, feet

Then place on the bottom of each hole

ton seed then fill each hole heaping full
with mixture composed OF two TO
three bushels of rich mould from the
woods, preferably from beneath cedar
trees, a peck of stable manure and
sufficiently of the adjoining soil to fill
as aforesaid.
In early spring clean out the holes,
cobs and all Mix some fresh cobs with
the old ones and throw back. Place
on the cobs from a gallon to a peck of
fresh cotton seed, and then fill with
the soil that was thrown out, to s

A GEoRGIA CLCB FOR TAMPA.

Tampa Tribune: Citizens of Tampa
who hail from Georgia now propose to
organize a Georgia Club, for social
purposes. 1t is estimated that there
are Floridians, and more of them than
natives of all other states combined.
This would Indicate that the proposed
club will be the biggest organization in
this section of the country. Some of
the leading spirits among the Georgia
born residents OF Tampa are agitating
the movement. and a meeting for the
purpose of forming the organization
will be held Within the next few weeks.
The only difficulty expected in connec-
ton with the plan is that it will be
impossible to secure a hall large
enough to hold "A quorum of the mem
bership. II a banquet Is given, as was
done by the South Carolina Society, it
would have TO be out doors as no
hostelry in the city. the Tampa Bay
not excepted could furnish "A banquet
hall large enough to accommodate the
crowd. Perhaps the banquet idea
would take the form of an old-fashion-
ed Georgia barbecue, which would be
appropriate and all dhe more enjoyable
A preliminary meeting will be held
in a few days to call "a general meeting
for the purposes Of organization
