growing was conducted at the New

culture, as well as testing large num-
Der of varieties. Two paintings were
made the first one on March 80. and
the second on April 30. In each case
part of the potatoes were planted about
four inches deep and the furrow was
plowcd back on them, while these on
ridges were put in with a garden
tfowel about the same depth. 4 few
Of the potatoes planted in burrows
were covered with straw and then
with dirt. Immediately after planting
all were irrigated to start them Sprour-

fair growth was secured Those
planted in burrows were very I'M
satisfactory, and. on the whole,
the stand was poor. In fact. the re

The Great Necktie Reform.
From the Chicago New


A gentleman who at one time was gov
ernor of Idaho has created stir in one of
Chicago'ss largest hotels by appearing in the
corridors without a necktie His necktieless
condition is not due to lack of funds. nor to
neglect or observation-disclosures. With him it
is matter of principle. He eschews neck
ties on conviction. Il think neckties are a.
nuisance he said, when the hotel detective
demonstrated with him. II don't care a
continental what the custom is; I'll be
hanged before l wear any of the blamed
things
1t is easy enough for persons confirmed in
the neckue habit to treat with levity this
exhibition of independence. The Idaho man
as he travels about with his shirt front
barred and his bone collar button revealed in
all its chaste and delicate beauty must have
learned long ago to steel himself against
the curious start, the scornful smirk the de-
risively pointed finger of his fellow men
Yet while he remains firm in his position
defending the free bone button exhibit on
principle and in the light of reason who
Shall prove him to be in error? Does the
necktie fulfill any real need of humanity :?
That 1t is not necessary article of apparel
can be proved beyond question. 1t is no
defense against the rigors of our climate
ard Is quite useless as chest protector
Time, temper and nerve force must be ex-
pended In tying the thing. Frequently it is
not only useless but ugly, offending the
aesthetic sense
Because the Idaho man has burst the
bonds OF tradition and freed himself from
the entangling silken letters of the ascot
and the four-in-hand, shall the slaves of the
necktie deride him? What real ground is
there for the notion that half yard of silk
string measures the difference between a
perfectly civilized man and one whose civil
lization is yet imperfect? In short, the
Idaho man in thoroughly philosophical
discussion of the subject might be found to
have the best of it. But why should he
draw the line at ties? Why wear the super
fious and arrogant collar? Why pander to
sensuous taste for beauty by making
prodigal display of the bone button? To be
consistent, the Idaho reformer should leave
off all superfuities and become fully eman-
cipated.

Back to the Savage.

From the Chicago Record Herald
A man of peace who stood reading the
war bulletins was heard to remark that
he was emphatically glad that the Jams
were winning. Then, upon being taxed
with his ghoulish glee over a tale Of
slaughter, he maintained that he was not
recreant to his principles. He still de-
tested war, but seeing that he could not
stop the present war; and that 1t had to he
it was proper for him to express his SWIM
pathy as between the contestants. Again.
when he was reminded that his sympathv
5eemed TO be pervaded by fighting
warmth. he took refuge in the righteous
ness of the cause which he had made his
own. He was not rejoicing in the triumph
of war; but in the triumph of the cause.
Since the die was cast, 1t was perfectly
consistent in him to pray that might and
right should be Joined together and then
he added quickly, with some glimmering
of his degradation, that of course il would
be much better If there were reason and
justice enough on both sides to order a
halt before a trial of arms. This man of
peace was really very like other men under
the influence of the report of battles and
we have no doubt that he would unite with
other men in forming a circle about two
sluggers in the street, and in lining TN at a
dog tight or chicken fight For we have
seen many such little impromptu affairs.
and never a one at which the eyes of the
spectators did not ask for more In them
was the fierce glitter of an Unsuitable
greed and the keen relish of blood and
blow. Thus is our close relationship shown
to our strenuous forerunners upon this
all the other savages from which we have
evolved"
