Dillingham;, it was more than the
darkness of physical night that op-

The quantity of seed potatoes re-
qulred for an acre will depend great
deal upon the size of the potatoes and
the size of the pieces each seed potato
is cut into Mt planting time. AS gen
eral rule 1t requires from ten to twelve
bushels planted in rows three feet
apart and eighteen inches apart In the
row. This is surprising that the pota-
toes are of medium size and are cut
so that each piece will have two or
three eyes. The land should be rich.
Loan, well ferti.ized with stable
manure. is as good us any soil that can
be had. If the potatoes can be planted
on clover SGD. SO much the better. Prai-
rle sod will grow good potatoes, pro-
vided the sod can be well cut up into
a mellow seed bed. Ordinarily the
second year after breaking the prairie
Is better than the first. Ground which
had no crop last year and was covered
with weeds will contain great num-
Der of weed seeds, and much labor will
be required to keep the potatoes clean.

around a large city people can get In
and out each day to their business
within an hour. Mr.1Behr has the sup
port Of expert engineers ali over Eng
land. Many of them appeared before
the House of Commons committee at
the time when the sanction Of the gov
eminent was secured for. the building
Of this road, and they testified to the
safety and practicabillty Of the whole
scheme.
Engineers are agreed that average
speeds Of over seyenty-five miles an
hour are impossible on the curves
found on existing railways. The con-
structlon Of special mono-rail track
would enable very high speeds to be
reached with perfect safety and would
do away with that mixture Of speeds
which renders the problem Of dealing
with express. slow, and freight. traffic
one Of ever-increasing difficulty to the
RAILWAY companies. The mono-rail
tracks would be laid alongside the ex-
listing twO-rall ground tracks or the
cars could be run overhead II so de
sired. 1t has been practically estab-
lished that the limit Of size and power
in locomotives and In rail construction
has been reached. according to the
present railway methods. Electricity
has helped materially in grades. not
only making great saving In the con-
struction Of roadbeds, but in opening
country Of certain typographical eccen-
tricity which will never be available
for steam power generated in loco
motive hauling train. The combina-
ton Of electricity and the mono-rail
system makes these much sleeper
grades and sharper curves possible,
but at the same time 1t practically
eliminates the danger of derailment.
1t looks, therefore, as If there were a
chance that passengers might be able
to travel with at least the same safety
as to-day, at double the rate of the
present fastest express train, by the
mono-rail system.

Care of Work Horses.

Food and care of work horses in
warm weather is subject that is wor-
thy of extensive discussion. Ordinar-
lily farm horses will do better IL turn
ed to grass at night than If kept on
dry feed. 1t Is much better for their
feet, and the change from dry to green
food is beneficial in every way. One
of the most common mistakes made is
that of overlooking, making two horses
do the work of three. This in the long
run Is not economy. The majority of
teamsters injure their horses by feed
ing too much hay, while In the case of
road animals mistakes are often made
by driving too hard when starting out
on journey. One should start or at
Il slow jog. gradually increasing the
speed, If this is necessary. after mile
or two has been covered. On the road
or in the field it is usually well to
lessen the pace somewhat just before
unhitchlng, as the animal will then
get much more good from the food con-
sumed. Horses should be watered as
frequently as possible, and 1t is much
better If they are made to take the
bulk Of their drink before meals rather
than after. During warm weather the
horses will do much more work If they
are given water some time during the
middle of the forenoon and afternoon.

There is at last in sight a railway
that will carry passengers ITO miles

making 1t practicable belongs to Great
Britain. There have been models Of

different countries. and mile or two

The system is Of the so-called mono
rail type-that is. the engine and cars
rest upon one rail, which is about half
way from the floor to the top of the

construction is such that each of the

wheels which lie horizontally and run

burg district in Silesia Is also noted
for Its fine grade of porcelain. In
Thuringia, Bavaria, as well as in some
districts on the Saar and Rhine, por-
Gelatin is manufactured in considerable
quantities.
One of the most noted porcelain fac.

operated by the Saxon government at

ed workmen who can model and paint
earn $3.50 n dny.
There is an Industrial art school in
connection with the factory, where
pupils and apprentices are taught
drawing for two years. When this
course is completed they pass on to the
modelling and painting department for
another two years. at the compile
ton Of the course the most skillful
are sent to Dresden, Berlin and other
cities to study the fine arts. On their
return to Nielsen they are sure to find
life employment, either in the por-
celain factory of the government or in
some other factory of the city.
There are four primary Industrial
schools in Saxony-namely, in Chem
nitz, Dresden, Nielsen and Zwickau.
The number of pupils at present In all
four schools is PAL. These pupils are
all apprentices, who are compelled to
spend four years in learning their
trade, and four months each year are
spent in some Of these industrial
schools.
According to Gothien's Deutsche Aus
>senhandle, In 1900 Germany exported
26,843 tons of white Chinaware and
painted porcelain goods to foreign
countries, valued at s9,9O0,SO0. The
United States is far in advance Of all
other countries in buying china from
Germany, importing 1O,463 tons, or
20 per cent of the total exports. Great
Britain holds second place, importing
only 5,722 tons.
In 1900 Germany imported from

should be quite willing to adopt any
suggestions that are practical which
will tighten their labors. One of the
hard tasks on the farm is loading pro-

ket one has in hand, and thus save
the heavy lifting which would be nee
essary without this attachment. A
koard or boards the width of the wag-
on body are cut long enough to give
the proper slope to make the ascent
easy. Across the board cleats are
hailed at proper distances. and in one
end are bored two or three holes as
