We find that early potatoes maturing
in August are much better dug as soon
as ripe and put in cool root house
or cellar than they are to leave them
to continuous baking by the mid
summer sun. This plan further en-
ables one TO take crop Of turnips
from the land after the potatoes are
removed, and thus disposes Of a weed
crop which is always a pest on the
undug potato field.

The natural law is that things will
sell for what they are worth and a
man be valued for just what he is
rather than that which he thinks he is
or pretends to be. Because of this it
never pays in the long run to put the

in taking up these large irrigation

acre in alfalfa it will support two cows.

Temperance a Vital Necessity

BY all odds the greatest promoter
Of temperance in the last go years has
been the change in business of every
description which has especially
marked that period Everywhere the
machine has superseded the man or
the woman. This is as notable on the
farm and in the farmers home as in
town. In manufacturing, mining, en-
cheering, transportation, and almost
all other business pursuits, the indi-
vidual worker has become part Of the
machine, and themechanism is too cost
~ to be Entrusted to the direction or
manipulation Of man whose brain
Is liable to be befogged In trans
portation, and, to a less extent, in
mining and manufacture, not only the
safety of property but Of life, de-
ponds upon the sobriety of employees

A FARMERS TAME GROUSE
Wild Bird Becomes So Accustomed to
Man Il Follows Him ON
the Road.

In August, 1902, while he was pick
ing blaekberries. Mr.. Rand, a Vermont
farmer, discovered a flock of seven
young grouse about half-groWn. The
first of the next October, while Mr..
Rand was picking apples, he was sur.
prised to see a ruffed grouse walk out
Of the bushes and come under the tres
where he was at work. Bird-Lore tells
the story:
The bird did not appear afraid, but
much interested in what the farmer
was doing. It walked round him and
observed him from all sides, and final
" hoped on the WALL as if to super
intend the apple gathering The bird
stayed with the farmer at least two
hours, and when he went away he left
it under the tree.
In the following spring, while he
was working in the field, Mr.. Rand
noticed a grouse following his farm
wagon. The bird was undoubtedly his
old friend, seeking to renew the &C.
quaintance of the preceding fall The
grouse followed the wagon perhaps SO
farm buildings. There she stopped
and waited for the wagon to come
back again, and then accompanied the
team down to the field. The grouse
repeated this performance for several
weeks. In fact, almost every time the
farm wagon made its appearance in
the field the bird was ON hand to es-
nort tho team ba
AS the grouse continued TO grow
less shy, Mr.. Rand conceived the idea
Of making her tanner by offering her
food and talking to her. The bird sell
dom ate any of the food offered her.
Only once did she deign to take few
kernels of corn into her mouth. BY
much coaxing, Mr.. Rand finally sue
ceeded in touching the bird. After
that the grouse showed very little fear
When Mr.. Rand called sChickee!
ehickee! the bird would come out OF
the woods and sit upon his knee.
From his knee she would fly to his
shoulder, and then to the ground.
1.-THE woods which the grouse FREE
quents are composed OF marginal
growth of willow, alder, ash and MAJ
pie, not more than ten rods wide. along
a small stream. On the other side is a
cultivated field A much-traveled
highway passes within ten rods Tho
bird is frequently seen by travellers.
In fact, on one occasion she was picked
up by two ladies passing in a carriage,
and was taken to neighboring farm
house. This confidence in human be-
ings may some day lead to her death.
To guard against this, however, Mr.
Rand has conspicuously posted her
haunts, and his wishes are respected
by the sportsmen.'
