Horticulture.


Professor G. ID. Woods, director OF
he Maine Experiment Station, in his
ak to Wisconsin farmers at the re-
cent convention at Oconomowoc, laid
special stress on the great value Of
the potato crop. 1t is valuable because
II does not exhaust land as do some
other crops Its starch is made out Of
carbon, and this has been gathered
from the air by means of the leaves.
So it does not come out of the ground
at all. The man that grows potatoes
is not taking from the soil great
mass of fertilizer that is to be sent
away never to return. The tops are
not sold off, but are permitted to lie
on the ground or in the ground and
decay.
There is no best way Of growing
potatoes. Place and circumstances
must dictate methods. To grow po-
tatoes successfully man must be sui.
ficiently intelligent to understand the
soil and other conditions ON his own
farm. No man can afford to follow the
methods Of public speakers or his
neighbors without first finding out
whether they apply to his case. The
selection of seed is important, because
We do not plant the seeds but cuttings
from the tubers. The tubers from
which the cuttings are to be made
should be ripe and should have been
kept over winter in a temperature Of
from SO to 40 degrees. 1t is, however.
mistake to select seed potatoes from
those that have lain in the ground
too long. The potatoes for this pur-
pose should be dug while the tops are
still green, SO much so indeed that the
potatoes on being cooked will be what
we call "watery." In the planting. po-
tatoes should be put in deeper in clay
than in sandy land. This may appear
unreasonable. but IL the potatoes are
planted near the surface in clay land,
they will. as they grow. cause the clay
to split open and this will let in the
sun. The result is a sun.burned po-
tato. which is of no value for eating.

And then--he always stopped at
this point. as though what further
vengeance the gods of retaliation
would infiict depended on circum-
stances. only that it was his full de-
sign she should feel the bitterness of
death and desertion that had wrung
his heart and turned it to stone.
Fedora was under some species of
spell.
She even knew not herself what it
meant.
This remarkable man interested her
he seemed to arouse some half slum-
bering memory that came as might
vague dream--a memory that must
have been pleasant, for 1t had an IN
toxicating effect.
The strangeness Of the sensation
aroused her curiosity; she could not
tell why she was drawn SO irresistibly
toward this black-bearded American
nabob, who had set the gossips Oh
London agog. whose name was on
every lip, and of whom she had even
heard the captain proudly nention
more than once at the table as my
friend the Marquis" Nor did she
make any strong effort at resistance
just as one is caught by swift cur
rent and drawn on SO rapidly thatGthe
senses grow confused.
What more natural than that she
should ask him to call. either during
her usual hour for receiving. or later
when the captain might be at home
to enjoy cigar with him as they COM
pared notes on adventurous travels
in the jungles and forests of Africa
and America.
The Marquis promised to take ad-
vantage of the first opportunity; then
others came up and their tete-a-tete
was broken.

Press Bulletin 40, New Hampshire
Station: A curious sign of the preju-
dice Of fertilizer buyers for name
was shown by the brands put on our
market by one large company. This
corporation had In our state fourteen
different brands guaranteed to contain
2 per cent of nitrogen, per cent OF
available phosphoric acid and 3 per
cent Of potash, while ten more Of its
brands differed from the above lot by
each having guarantee of 1.5 per
cent Of potash instead of 8 per cent.
In other words, this company had
twenty-four brands to represent only
two different formulas. because fertil-
izers are bought by name instead of by
composition.
The last census states the value of
fertilizers bought in New Hampshire
In 1900 to have been 1868 200, making
an average for each farm Of SIZES.
The most common fertilizers sold in
the state were those costing $50 per
ton. For the average sum per farm
there was purchased of such a mixed
fertilizer 1877 pounds, containing II
pounds of nitrogen, 81 OF available
phosphoric acid and rs Of potash, or a
total of 106 pounds of plant food. By
buying the highest grade of chemicals,
including nitrate Of soda. dried blood,
acid phosphate and sulphate of potash.
and paying cash. $l2.55 could have pur-
chased 800 pounds of chemicals con-
tanning 20 pounds Of nitrogen, IS of
available phosphoric acid and so pot
ash. total of 1853 pounds of plant
food. or one and one-half times as
much as by following the usual method
of buying. Long credit and commits
sions to agents make fertilizers costly.
In the past year the trade in ashes
has taken up an inferior grade, which
is sometimes sold under the name Of
lime-kiln or lime ashes. They contain
much less soluble potash than good
hard wood ashes and their value Is
problematical on that account because
the availability of insoluble potash is
unknown.

Old Time Lo.don.

The population of the city of Lon
don in the year 1880 has been estimat-
ed at $4,000 souls. In that year John
Lyly was the most fashionable author.
and Sir Philip Sidney was The darling
of the court. Edmund Spencer had
just leaped 70 his immediate and last
ing popularity, and Shakespeare was
counting Anne Hathaway in the green
lanes of Warwickshire, not line OF
his dramas so much as thought OF. 1t
was not until twenty-five years later,
when King James had come to the
throne, that the city came to number
100000. London was then, as now,
the center OF the Englisn-speaking
world. but that world was smaller In
population than our single states OF
Pennsylvania or New York. and inter-
ests. political. social and literary were
concentrated in the metropolis to de-
gree far beyond the present. even in
England. Felix L. Schelling

At this time of year many breeding
pens are being made up. What are
the fowls used In them? We believe
they should be birds that have proven
themselves excellent by more than one
year of existence. Mature females
and mature males selected as the re-
suit Of known qualities should and
will produce eggs that contain strong
embryos. These will give vigorous
chicks. which will develop rapidly un-
der skillful feeding. The birds kept
for breeders, evea though there be
but five Of them in yard. should have
a considerable area devoted to them.
Ihe writer was pleased to notice while
at the North Carolina Agricultural
College last year, that the yards devot-
ed to the breeders were SO large that
the birds had an abundance OF green
grass. with no prospect OF rendering
the ground bare. In addition to the
grass, plats OF oats were so,sn. 1t GER

J. w. Stanton, Southern Illinois:
Tree fruits promise good crops ON
trees that were not full Lass year.
Prof. F.. A. Waugh. Vermont: The
general outlook for fruits was never
better at this time of year than it is
now.
o. M. Lord, Minnesota: Plenty OF
fruit buds, and they are entirely un-
hurt. Season opens ten days earlier
than usual.
e. A. Riehl, Southern Illinois: So
far as can be seen now all fruits ex-
cept peaches are in good condition and
may give good crop, II favorable
conditions are maintained throughout
the season.
Geo. N. Parker. Eastern Illinois: The
present outlook for apples is good.
The peach crop will be very short We
will have over 10000 barrels OF apples
for sale in this county (Crawford)
next fall. If the present outlook is veri-
fed.
Prof. J. Troop, Indiana: The outlook
for peaches is bad. The buds are pref
ty generally killed. Other kinds seem
to be in fairly good condition. do
not look for heavy apple crop, ow-
ing to the dry weather last summer
and fall.
Prof. John Craig. New York state:
The prospects at present are excel
lent for a full crop of apples, peaches
and plums. This applies especially to
the western part Of the state, but /
think Is true Of most OF the fruit
growing sections.
Prof. L. r. Taft, Michigan: All trees

cept the peach. and these are not in
1ured. except in the southwestern part
Of TIE state, where tender varieties
have had their flower buds killed and
some injury has been done to the
hardy sorts in many townships.
Benjamin buchanan. Central I'LL

left. Other small fruits promise an
average crop. The same may be said

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new
things of everyday use in the market
and who is reasonably satisfied with
the old, We would suggest that trial
of Defiance Cold Water Starch be
made at once. Not alone because it
is guaranteed by the manufacturers to
be superior to any other brand, but
because each loo package contains 16
ozs., while all the other kinds contain
but IL ozs. 1t is safe to say that the
lady who once uses Defiance Starch
will use no other. Quality and guam
tity must win.

From Farmers Review: Nothing

ance occurs to me at present than
treatment of seed GA, to destroy
smut" We have been thoroughly sue
cessful with the following-much cas-
Ter and pleasanter than the soaking
method and seeding with wet grain:
Mix one ounce of formalin with one
gallon Of water for every six bushels
of oats. Spread the oats about three
inches thick and apply the liquid with
sprinkling can as evenly as practi-
cable. and stir thoroughly; then
shovel into a snug elongated heap
about three feet deep along the center.
and cover with the ont sacks turned
and shaken. and a light blanket to
complete If needed, and leave twenty
four to forty-eight hours. Then re-
shovel and heap and cover for an
other day or two, when me moisture
applied will be diffused through the
mass and evaporated. SO as not to be
perceptible. The grain may then be
sacked or stored ready for use when
wanted.--P f. Nye.

Plate Glass WINDOW Broken.

Last Saturday night about mid
night two brothers named Fender
CAST, residing at Hutton and employ
ed by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company as brakemen, became
involved in a quarrel with Horace
Coddington and Frank Browning.
The Pendergast boys, it seems. were
the aggressors, and for weapons used
railroad ballast. One of them threw
rock and struck young Coddington
in the stomach. He (Pepdergast) was
arrested and upon his person was
found Il stone tied in the corner of a
handkerchief. The other Huttonite
jumped upon a passing freight train
and as it was going by the Offutt
building a rock was thrown by him
which broke one of the large plate
glass windows in the store room. He
has thus far eluded the officers but it
is understood the damaged glass will
be replaced by new one at the eX-
pense of the aggressor. The brother
who was arrested the night of the oc-
currence was tried by Justice Gender
Monday afternoon and a fine of S25
and costs imposed, which was paid
and the prisoner released.

Badly injured BY a Horse.

Perry Nethken, II years old, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Nethken, living
few miles west of town, sustained
two broken ribs and slight injuries to
his head and spine on Monday by be-
ing thrown from and kicked by a
horse he was riding. The animal, a
young one, jumped sidewise, unseat-
ing its rider and as he fell the horse
kicked him resulting in the injuries
ABOVE enumerated. AT the time of
the accident it was feared that the
youth had been permanently injured,
as he was apparently paralyzed from
his hips down, but since he has re-
covered to a considerabl extent and
can now move himself slightly.

CITY BONDS SOLD.

The Garrett County Bank Becomes the
Purchaser.
The new issue of municipal bonds
of the town of Oakland, aggregating
$1,000, the proceed. OF which are to go
toward paying for the improvement
of the streets was sold by the Town
Council Monday night to the Garrett
County Bank at par and bearing in
tereSt at the rate of per cent. per
annum, the interest, however, dating
from January 1st next. The terms of
the accepted bid allows the bank a
commission of 81 per cent. for floating
the bonds. consequently the net pro-
ceeds of the sale will amount to
$7.70O.
But one other bid was made for the
bonds, it being submitted by The
Homecoming Savings Bank of Allegany
county. The terms of its bid required
interest to be paid from the date of
delivery of the bonds to January 1sr,
1908, amounting to about $40, and a
commission of per cent. for floating
the issue. BY awarding the home
bank the bonds a saving of about $50
was made to the town.

Harper's Ferry, the Gate to the Shenan-
doah Valley.


doah Valley.
Where the three States of Virginia,
West Virginia and Maryland come
together; where the Potomac and
Shenandoah Rivers unite; where the
towering sleeps of the Blue Ridge
end abruptly, frowning upon the
heights of Maryland and Bolivar
Heights in West Virginia, lies the
quaint historic town of Harper's
Ferry. John Brown baptized it in
blood in 1859, when he captured the
town and U. S. Arsenal and made his
final and fatal stand in the engine
house known afterwards as John
Browns Fort, alongside the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad. A plain shaft,
simply inscribed, now marks the loca-
ton.
Again in 1861, grim visaged war
seized the village and held it tight in
its grasp for nearly four years. The
deeds that were done, and the tales
that are told concerning Harper's
Ferry fill volumes.
The heights at Harper's Ferry
guarded the Shenandoah Valley. 1t
was a most important stronghold to
be desired when some great campaign
was planned by either army.
From Harper's Ferry the Shenan-
doah Division of the Baltimore &
Ohio r. R. extends southwark to
Charlestown, Winchester, Harrison
burg and Lexington. Battlefields
surround the village in all directions.
