Irish Potatoes.


 Texas Stockman and Farmer.
 At A recent meeting of the South Texas Truck and Friut Growers, Asso. 9. a practical talk on tho subject of grow ing Irish potatoes, as follows;
 The main thing Is to. prepare the or six months before planting. Use barnyard manure. spread well and rlow under. Before you are ready 70 plant When Wh you are ready to plant, lay on off with a sweep or shovel, going oyer the rows twice. Lay off in three and a half or four foot rows so n as Io tsn enao1e nae tatoes in the ground about four and a half or five inches deep. After cov- ering take log and smooth 1t down. When the potatoes come up take one horse and run the middle out, being careful not to mako the ridges too hiEn, unless in a country where drainage IS to be the best keeper and the begt grower Use about nine bushels to the acre on four foot rowsf, or. three and usually plant three and half sacks to the acre. Tn cutting leave two eyes to one piece. one eye does very well where there is plenty Of moisture. but best to cut larger pieces. do not plant potatoes in sandy land any deeper than three and q half inches, but In black land I would advise planting four MT. Menkin of Gonzales gave his ex- perience in growing potatoes. and his talk was practically on the same line as MT. Michna's. He said that the most imrortant item in growing Irish pota- toes successfulI- was In deep and thor ough prepearation of the soil. He said in sixteen years growing potatoes in Texas that he had made but two fall ures and that he had been more sue ces sfui in growing the fall crop of po- tatoes than spring. His average yield | is from 100 to 150 bushels per acre. Ho l said the seed should never be cut for fall planting and that most features were caused by planting to soon.
 Curing Alfalfa Hay.
 From Bulletin 123. of the Kansas State Experiment Station we take this valuable information in regard to cur | ing alfalfa hay:
 | Occasional reports have appeared in | the agricultural press of the Middle States advocating the baling of clover hay while in a wilted or partially cured condition claiming that the | method was an economical practice and | that it made a better grade of hay | than could be made in the ordinary way. These reports have led to con | siderable discussion among western | farmers and in the farm papers, as to | whether alfalfa could be profitably

 the tone issuing from scorched and
 lacerated lips. one perceives the in-
 tensity of. scorn and hatred felt. His head droops; shiver runs through his frame. At this signal chief leaps forward with flashing knife and with quick stroke lays bare the still feebly palpitating heart, removes 1t, and losses 1t to the waiting braves, who quickly cut it into tiny pieces and de- your it raw, believing that thereby they each may acquire some of the bravery of the dead prisoner. Another cuts down the body and half dozen quickly sever arms and feet and legs. throwing these members into the wait ing boiling kettles, to be devoured later by the whole tribe. The head is cut of and brought, shapeless, blood stained mass, and laid at the feet of Miron. ~,* I5s

and he was invited to sing. A hush fell upon the multitude as he arose to give utterance to his death-song. Straight and firm he stood with out stretched arms, from which the folds of beaver skin fell in graceful lines, His head was proudly raised. his eyes looking above the crowd eastward to- ward the land of his birth. His voice. now quavering in a strange. weird minor cadence. rising and falling, lin gering on the words with a pathetic tenderness. now full and strong in sonorous monotone, rapidly delivered, penetrated to the farthest ranks of his foes.
 "I see afar the wigwams of my peo- pie. The smoke rises from thousand cainp-fires and the woods are filled with the countless moccasin prints of the hunters. They creep here and there through the forests. The deer and bear fall in multitudes before them. Where are the waters dark with fish but yesterday? The streams are there. but the fish have gone, for the Mohegans have passed by and taken them all. There are no hunters like them anywhere. All other na- tions are but as children whom they have taught to use the bow and spear. Were they 10 leave their own coun- try. all the rest of the world would starve. for there would be no game left. The sun here is dim, but there it is always bright. for my people do no evil and the sunligh; never fails them. The wind blows fresh and bends the tops of the waving maize fields. for there the harvesfs are ever full. The ITolqois plants his seed and but one appears. The Mohegan drops his into the ground and 10, a thousand sprout from one. see the council fires ablaze, and around them sit the visest of all men. To their feet come the chiefs of other nations and crouch. waiting to hear the wisdom that falls from their lips. There is the source of all knowledge and cunning. that of all other people is but foolishness. Above their heads hang the scalp-locks of their enemies. thick as the leaves of the forest in summer. for there are none so brave as they. the sound of whose name makes their enemies to tremble and be afraid"
 Thus sang the helpless prisoner. boasting in the presence of his foes of the proxess of his tribe As his song progressed. his body svayed to the rhythm of his voice Soon he moved in stately measure to and fro. as he described the delights of his own country. the pleasures of his own peo- pie Then the theme was changed. the steps were ouickened. and the words f7oved faster as the deeds of the mighty warriors were rehearsed and his oxn achievements were boast fully proclaimed

 In an open place in the center of the town were gathered the Indians, who ranged themselves in an elongated cir cle. down the center of which were piled at intervals seven brush heaps ready for lighting. Equidistant from each end small scaffold some six feet from the ground had been built. On one of them Miron had reserved seat, one on each side of himself for Renee and Tonti. so situated that they
 sould be witnesses of the ensuing scene. He greeted them with a sar- fonic smile, and wished them all man. ner of pleasure during the coming hours. Tonti's hands were securely bound. but his feet were free
 They were scarcely settled when an opening in the throng on the opposite ride was made and through it Akiesko was led. with every mark of respect and attention from those attending him. His escort consisted of some 9 or 40 of the young men of the tribe. who advanced singing and dancing. The prisoner strode along haughtily in their midst, clad in a magnificent beaver robe. with string of polished multicolored shells about his neck and . smaller one placed like a wreath or crown about his head. He was greet cd by friendly shout from the wait ing crowd. The procession marched about the edges of the throng, 90 that all could catch glimpse of the con- demned. Finally they conducted him to log placed in the center of the open space and he was seated Food was set before him. sagamiie. sqGashes. venison and fruit.

 The prisoners slept little that night. Both Renee and Tonu had undergone nervous excitement during the day sufficient to keep every fiber tingling, he at the discovery of. her love for him, she upon learning the truth from the lips of Madame Bizard. Now that the heat of his encounter with Miron had subsided. Tonti fell into a slough of despair. Escape seemed impossible. Renee's fate became more hideous now that he knew her secret. Even the satisfaction of dying together was denied them. Renee was happy. re- 1oicing fin the restoration to his proper place of the lover she had vainly sought 10 forget; unmindful of the ter rible ordeals the future might have for her; believing vaguely that the dis covery of her lovers faithfulness was >ot for naught: that a means cf cs- cape would be accorded to them
