POTATO POWER AND LIGHT.

The insignificant potato bids fair to
become for Germany what the corn
plant is to America-a creator OF great
national wealth. The tuber thrives re-
markably well in that country, and the
annual production is very large. Here
tofore it's uses, aside from its edible
value. have been confined to the pro-
duction of starch, glucose strip, potato
-four. dextrin 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 I'M
limited quantities to sell at retail at
about II cents per gallon. This alcohol
used in lamp with a mantle produces
a wonderfully brilliant light. rivaling
the electric arc light In intensity. while
used In the gas engine 1t affords 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 or
both coal and petroleum.

prun,,EaErs 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
ais 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 a usual thing fertiliZe
the blossoms on the first or June crop
of clover this crop rarely containing
any seed We think 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 suffi,
Gent number TO properly cover clover
field.

YARN MOTHERS FIFTY YEARS AGO.

pARM MOTHERS FIFTY YEARS AGO.
Looking back fifty years, it would
seem that the mother on the farm In
those days, must have had hard row
to hoe. She usually had large fam
lily, and she not only had to make the
clothing for the family, but spin the
yarn and weave the cloth out Of which
1t was made. She had to look after the
sugar making, the hog killing In the
care Of the meat, the soap making,
had to bake in a brick oven and cook
at an open fireplace, and the good
Lord only knows what she did not
have to do besides. But 1t must be re-
membered that she belonged to no wo-
mans club. did not bother with fashion
magazines, put her children to work as
soon as they were weaned, made no
angels food or frappe and was happily
rid Of nearly all the heavy burdens
which women in these days place upon
themselves at the dictate of style and
fashion. She usually lived to a good
old age, a good mother and splendid
type of womanhood. Today the farm
mother buys her family clothing large
ly ready made, she runs sewing ma
chine, cooks on steel range, gets all
the meat from the butchers, makes mel
Their soap nor sugar and does not have
as many children to care for, and for
all that is quite likely to be an invalid
and under the doctors care at fifty.

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 the Bible or Shakespeare
is constantly rewarded with hidden
treasures of literary beauty. We sim
cerely pity the man who, working the
soil as q 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 a varied language, and none
does she try to teach so patiently and
we'll as him who lives the nearest to
her heart. Her textbooks are object
lessons, crop failures her punishments.
abundant harvests her certificates Of
graduation.

SIMMER SIGNS.

There had been snowstorm and
some hard frosts and lot of discour-
aging weather the last of April. True,
the robins were nesting and the 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 50
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 a brown wren in the peak
Of the woodhouse and that evening
heard the chir-r-r of tree toad and
knew that summer was right at hand
and June roses, skeeters, commence
ment. picnics and the iceman close at
hand.
