POTATO POWER AND LIGHT.

The insignificant potato bids fair to
become for Germany what the corn
plant is to American creator of great
national wealth. The tuber thrives re-
markably well in that country, and the
annual production is very large. Here
tofore Its uses, aside from Its edible
value, have been confined to the pro-
ductlon of starch, glucose strip, potato
-four, deItrin and starch sugar. The
two recent inventions Of the Welsbach
burner and the gas engine, strange as
it may seem, have opened up new uses
for the potato in the shape OF potato
alcohol, which can be produced in IN
limited quantities to sell at retail at
about II cents per gallon. This alcohol
used In lamp with mantle produces
q wonderfully brilliant light, rivaling
the electric arc light in intensity, while
used in the gas engine it affords a very
cheap motive power. The brightest
minds in the empire are engaged in de-
veloping this thing, which bids fair to
make q great nation independent OF
both coal and petroleum.

SUMMER SIGNS.

There had been a snowstorm and
some hard frosts and a lot Of discour-
aging weather the last OF April. True,
the robins were nesting and tho grain
fields were greening up and the COWS
were out to grass, but the leaf buds
and the fruit bloom were waiting and
waiting for the mercury to touch so
before they would get down to bust
ness. May we woke to hear the song
of a red breasted grosbeak and the
aria of brown thrush in the top of
an elm tree, and then we heard the
shrill chirp of the martin and the
twitter of brown wren In the peak
of the woodhouse and that evening
heard the chir-r-r OF q tree toad and
knew that summer was right at hand
and June roses, skeeters, commence
ment, picnics and the iceman close at
hand.

REAL REWARDS.

The man who works the soil, who is
brought into daily touch with nature,
is always having revealed to him new
mysteries and new beauties and won
ders the while he works, just as the
student of tho Bible or Shakespeare
is constantly rewarded with hidden
treasures Of literary beauty. We sim
cerely pity the man who, working the
soil as business, can never see any
thing but the dollars in the harvest.
When one wants to know and learn,
Nature is most kindly teacher. She
speaks q varied language, and none
does she try to teach SO patiently and
well as him who lives the nearest to
her heart. Her textbooks are object
lessons, crop failures her punishments,
abundant harvests her certificates Of
graduation. .,.

With land worth SIS per acre, corn
worth 95 cents, hay SO and hired help
worth $25 per month and board, it will
cost about S56 to produce a thirty
month-old steer weighing 1900 pounds,
anu the breed Of the animal will deter
mine whether there will be any profit
in his production. If he is scrub and
brings "a per hundredweight he will be
raised at loss; If high grade Short

SO there will be a profit. About all the

production are connected with this

numBLEnEEs AND CLOVER SEED.


We are asked what relation the bum
blebee sustains to the production Of
clover seed. This bee is the only one Of
his tribe which has a tongue long
enough to reach into the deep set pet
oils of the clover bloom after its sweets
and thus fertilize the flower. No clover
seed could be grown in California or
New Zealand until the bumblebee was
introduced into those countries. The
further inquiry is made as to why this
bee does not as usual thing fertilize
the blossoms on the first or June crop
of clover, this crop rarely containing
any seed. We thinl, that this may be
explained by the fact that but few Of
the bees survive the winter, their little
winter store of honey often being de-
stroyed by vermin, and not until the
new swarms appear are they IN sufti-
Gent number TO properly cover clover
field.
