BuiIding Potnto Land.

In many sections of the country 20
tatoes always bring a good price. but
the soil is too light TO grow heavy
crops. A successful method Of bring
ing up such soil to the point where it
will bring good results is the follow
ing: Select sol that is in fairly
good condition, and If in sod dress with
acid phosphate and muriate of potash,
turn under and prepare thoroughly for
corn. Follow the corn with rye. which
should be plowed under in the spring
Sow COW peas after dressing soil again
with acid phosphate and muriate of
potash and harvest for forage. In the
fall so over the ground with disk
harrow and break up thoroughly, sow
rye and turn under the following
spring; then prepare thoroughly for the
potatoes. and the crop, under proper
conditions of culture, will be all that
is desired. Other methods quite as
good will bring the same results with
out doubt, but this one has bee n repeat
eddy tested and found to be all that
is claimed for it,

For many years it has been notorious
in Washington that the stewards for
wealthy householders were in the habit
of exacting from butchers and other
tradesfolk commission on the business
they took to them. In this way there de-
veloped gradually custom, and the
stewards came to regard their gifts from
THE persons from whom they bought sup
plies as a part of their legitimate income.
To rid themselves of the necessity Of
paying this tribute the dealers have or
ganized a society. which is preparing a
plan behind closed doors to wage a war
fare against the stewards. 1t is pro
posed to work in the name of the asso-
citation and directly with employers.

The civil service commission recently
received from concern which manufac-
lures glass eyes, request for an indorse-
ment of its wares on the ground that "a
hazel, crystal left eye worn by one of

was of the same color and looked for all
the world like a natural optic.

To Have Winter Eggs.


Those who hope TO have full sup
ply of fresh-laid eggs during the win
ter months must do their part or be
disappointed. says Country Gentleman.
That all who follow these columns
may be fully informed of methods
needed for a successful winter egg
yield, we shall treat the whole sub
ject as if instructing a beginner in
SELECTING and caring for hens. These
cannot be anything more simple and
easy TO follow, but the trouble is it
is So very simple and easy that the
very little things necessary for success
are neglected. And there is no use to
hope for success unless these most
necessary details are followed You
must have the hens properly selected
housed and cared for, then you will
have the eggs; otherwise you will not.
The Horseradish Crop.
All our best horseradish comes from
the middle West. Perhaps its soil is
especially adapted to uorseradish; per-
hape the central State farmers are
more skillful in culture: but this young
merchant, though blindfoIded, can in
stantly tell if a piece comes from
New England or the West. The New
England root does not hold it's strength
as long. Horseradlsh raising has be
come very profitable business in GER
tain sections of the middle West
whose farmers realize as high as $500
an acre from this crop. The Western
horseradish root is well developed,
with few pits. while the wild horse
radish must be scraped by hand with
the right sort of knife.-New York

memorable one. II Is the first time
that the congress has been honored by
the official recognition OF the president
OF the United States, who is to be rep.
resented by Leslie NJ Shaw, secretary
