Only a quarter of century, ago,

that he was in the midst of land
that would some day flow with milk
and honey, and invite the ambitious

of industry. But such is rapidly being
realized. Every year finds hundreds

MULTIPLICATION OF POTATOES.

MULTIPLICATION OF POTATOES.
Since potatoes are go scarce and
high in price, a timely article on
their propagation will not come

fact, that sweet potatoes are never
propagated by planting q part Of the
tuber itself, but the whole root IL
put into a hotbed and sprouted. AT.

they are broken off and set into the

at no extra cash expense. have tried
it, others ..have also, 1. but the know
ledge is far from being general. Sc.
lect your potatoes, put them in warm
shady place, and in short time the
eyes have all sprouted. Now break
off the sprouts close to the potato, and
plant one sprout to the hill. Don't be
scared, the mighty oak tree is only a
tiny sprout at first, and you will find
your hill of potatoes plenty large in
time. Now you have one planting
from the first sprouts, and if you
leave the potatoes alone, they will
sprout again, sometimes as often as
five times, and that way you have
successive plantingse. from. the same
seed. You can cut up and plant the
potatoes any time you wish, of
course. Some may hesitate because of
the idea that the successive sprouting
of the seed impairs it's vitality, but of
that have my doubts, as l have had
as large, fine potatoes from 9nd and
Sd sprouts, as from the potato itself
cut up and planted in the ordinary
way.
It seems to me that the sprout re-
ceives it's impetus and vitality from
the mother plant. after which it takes
care Of itself, and does not depend up.
on the parent potato for nourishment.
Often, while digging potatoes in the
fall. we find that the original pieces
of potatoes planted are scarcely
changed.

potatoes appear on the surface of the
ground around the stalks and ..show
sprouts. take them Of. cut them in
two and plant them, one piece in q
hill. You will be surprised at the re-
suit. I am told that further south,
two complete crops can be raised In
one season by that method. and
know by experience that planted az
late as the first week in August up In
this country, these second paintings
will make splendid table potatoes and
in long season will often get ripe. .

SYRU FROM PUMPKINS
Another New Industry
For Central Min
nesota.

st. Cloud Times: Among the Wis
tors In st. Cloud today was Il. P.
Stanohfield, president of the Mime
sofa Syrup. Oils and Vinegar Com
pany. Of Minneapolis, q company
which recently formulated a PROPOSE
tion to the citizens of Clearwater
and farmers of the vicinity to estab.
lish at that village a syrup factory.
Speaking of the syrup factory pro-
position, said Mr.. Stanch6eld:
''Our company proposes to manu-
facture syrup from pumpkins, the
company furnishes the farmers with
seed and agreeing to pay $40 ton for
the pumpkins delivered at the factory.
A yield of from twenty to thirty tons
per acre is not uncommon and al
though this is comparatively new
industry, it has been thoroughly
tested and found practical. The syrup
closely resembles the Vermont maple
syrup, both in favor, color and
sweetness. The skimmings from the
syrup are made into high grade vine
gar and the seeds make the very best
quality of salad oils. Even the pulp
may be utilized in the manufacture
Of paper. Should the project carry,
about forty men would be employed. -
In order to secure this industry the
people of Clearwater are REQUIRED to
subscribe SIS, 900 of the stock, or 700
shares in all. About $50 shares have
already been sold. Just as soon as the
balance of stock has been subscribed,
work will begin on the erection of
two buildings 80 by 48 and go by 14s
respectively for machinery and ware
house and cold storage buildings.

Along with the expressions of alarl

Along with the expressions of alarm
over the terribly high percentage of
murders in America, increasing prom
incuce is given to the danger coming
from the promiscuous carrying Of con-
cealed weapons. 1t is asserted that
we are becoming "a nation of gun car
riers." The majority of cowardly ruff
fans have little temptation to engage
in a quarrel If no weapon is within
reach, while shallow headed fellows,
who have received considerable of
their education from dime novels"
and "nickel libraries" are not only per-
suaded that a weapon is necessary to
their safety, but they are anxious for
an excuse to flash a gun" Peace
officers should have authority to sup
press the carrying Of weapons by IRE
sponsfble parties, even If legal pre-
cedent had to be established, such, for
instance as would allow them to ar
rest at sight all suspicious characters
In order to search for weapons. Where
such were found, heavy sentences
would do considerable to discourse ge

roic measures rather than to have
homicide statistics which are q ma

A WOMAN'S LOFTY CLIMB

How Mrs. Workman Got to the Top
of a 22, 2,56S-Foot Peak.
Mrs. Fanny Bullock Workman,
daughter Of former Gov. Andrew D.
Bullock, Of Massachusetts, is known as
the worlds greatest mountain climber
and explorer. Word comes from India
that she has broken her first high rec
ord of 21 900 feet twice in one day dur
ing her explorations this season of the
Himalayas.
These giant mountains climbed by
her are two snow peaks looming high
above the Chogo Loongma glacier and

The theory of Dr.. J. D. Robertson.
expressed before a Chicago medical
society, to the effect that the bathing
habit Is Injurious and as he said a
"dirty habit" an opinion which made
the other doctors gasp, but which they
could not scientifically refute, reminds
an observant man of many things
that seem queer. He Is reminded that
our mountain and plains Indians, who
never bathe except by accident, are
rarely Ill and, barring war or accident.

sive viriHty and force all their lives.
On the other hand, the natives Of the
Pacific islands, who are half their
time or more in the water. are weak,
effeminate, disease inclined and short
lived He will recall. also, that in
civilization the children who from any
cause, either poverty or inclination.
wallow in the dirt In city, town and
country are generally vigorous, while
the pampered children, rich or poor.
who are scrubbed to shining are the
reverse. Their vitality seems to shriv-
ell up like the skin of washerwoman's
hands. he may recall, also, a curious
New York experience. Some years ago
the authorities. desiring to convince
the slum dwellers Of the hygienic value
of bathing and cleanliness in general
and the disease-breeding powers of
filth, divided the city into districts, 80
adjusted as to contrast as sharply as
possible the districts where overcrowd-
ing and dirt prevailed with those
wherein the people bathed frequently
and wore clean clothes. One district
included the territory east OF Broad
way, south Of Fourteenth street, where
the population is denser than any
where else in the country and quite
as grimy. Another was the adjacent
and less odorous but still fusty re-
gion west of Broadway, and then the
districts ran back by degrees into
the high, airy, cleanly residence re-
gions above and to the west Of Cen
tral Park. They then took a hygienic
or disease census by district lines,
perfectly confident that the showing
would be of appalling prevalence Of
zymotic and probably other disease in
the SUM QlSCr1CCS as compared Win
the others. When the returns were all
in and tabulated the Jealous workers
for the soap and water habit were ap-
palled indeed, but it was by the fact
that the figures showed by far the
lowest disease and death rate in the
crowded district east Of Broadway
and south Of Fourteenth, where they
had expected the highest, and that the
rate grew, through all the other divis-
ions, until it rose to really alarming
height in the breezy regions of up
town The east side was never held
up to itself as an object lesson. The
reformers took the whole matter un-
der advisement and pigeon-holed the
census. After all, is not this matter
Of frequent or infrequent bathing like
SO many other human habits and
tastes, a matter of the Individual?
