Honesty in Selling Stock.

There is no business in the world
where reliability and absolute truth is
so essential as with breeder OF blooded
stock. He knows all about his stock,
their strong points and their weak ones.
In his sales he can advance the breed or
injure it, can help customer or be his
ruin, for his customers are entirely ut
his mercy. He can be man or Jockey.
A breeder should be so honest and up
right that a stranger might write him
for an animal, telling him the weak
points in his own breeding and rest
assured that what he received would
remedy the defects. A breeder should
feel that interest in the success OF his
fa7orite breed that would not allow him
to ever sell an animal to q customer n
less he honestly believed it would be a
benefit to him.
Your tailor may sell you coat with
shoddy for wool and cotton warp and
he has only got your money for worth
less article, and lost future customer.
But the breeder who sells you worth
less animal has not only robbed you In
the present, but has done you lasting
injury in the future which you cannot
without great loss Of time and money
overcome.-COr. in New England Home

At the end of forty minutes work
Bonfire half believed he had been

trembling and he held up his head.
Next he saw Hawkins shaking some
thing in q thick, long necked bottle.
Suddenly two grooms held Bonfre's

liquid down his throat. 1t was fiery
stuff that seemed to burn its way, and
its immediate effect was to revive
Bonfre's appetite.

One bleak midnight In late November
a cab OF this description waited In the
lee of the elevated stairs. The cab
Itself was weather beaten, scratched
and battered. The driver, who sat half
inside and half outside the vehicle,
with his feet on the sidewalk and his
back propped against the seat cushion,
puffed n short pipe and watched with
indolent but discriminating eye those
who passed. He wore coachman's
coat of faded green which seemed to
have acquired stain for every but
ton 1t had lost. On his head sat jaunti-
ly rusty beaver, and his face, espe-
cially the nose, was Of rich crimson
hue.
The horse. that seemed to lean on
rather than stand in the patched shafts,
showed many we'll defined points and
but few curves. His thin neck was
ewed, there were deep hOll0ws over
the eyes, the number Of his ribs was
revealed with startling frankness, and
the sagging of one hind quarter be-
trayed bad leg. His head he held In
spiritless fashion on level with his
knees. AS II to add note Of irony, his
tail had been docked to the regulation
of absurd brevity and served only to
tag him as one fallen from more rep
utable state.
Suddenly, up and across the inter-

have q cinch. They tell about what
nice fresh butter we have, and the splen-
did new laid eggs. But that's all they
know about It. We have difficulty in
getting butter at thirty and thirty-five
cents a pound and eggs cost us % to 80
cents dozen. The farmers up here are
potato mad. Potatoes, too, are not 80
cheap as you'd think they would be.
1t is a fact that We can't buy barrel OF
potatoes for less than twenty-five cents
more per barrel than they are paying at
the potato houses. This, too, from tie
farmers. l saw one day last winter a
storekeeper in this town offer farmer
the same price for his potatoes as the
buyers were giving and he willing to
take the entire load. The offer was re-
fused, the farmer hauling them to the

past. Perhaps he noted their sleek
quarters, the glittering trappings on
their backs and their gingery action.
AS he dropped his head again some
thing very like a sigh escaped him. It
might have been regret, perhaps 1t was
only touch of Influenza.
The driver, too, saw the turnout and
gazed after it. But he did not sigh.
He pufred away at his pipe as II en-.
tirely satisfied with his lot. He was
still watching the brougham when
surface car came gliding swiftly
around curve. There was smash Of
splintering wood and breaking glass.
The car mad struck the brougham a
battering ram blow, crushing rear
wheel and swapping the steel axle at
the hub.
From somewhere or other crowd of
curious persons appeared and circlec
about to watch while the driver held
the plunging horses and the footman
hauled from the overturned carriage a
man and woman in evening dress.
The couple seemed unhurt and, al
though somewhat rumpled as to attire,
remarkably uncOncerned.
"Keb, sir! Have keb, sir"
The nighthawker was on the scene,
like longshore wrecker, and waving
an inviting arm toward his shabby ve-
hicle.
The man coOlly restored to shape his
mIsused opera hat, adjusted his neck
tie, whispered some orders to his
coachman and then asked of the night
hawker, "Where's your carriage. my

Eagerly the green coated cabby led
the way until the rescued couple stood
before it. The woman inspected the
battered vehicle doubtfully before STEP
ping inside. The man eyed the sorry
nag for a moment and then said, with
a laugh: Good frame you have there.

But the nighthawker was not sensi-

might fall apart he answered only with
a good natured chuckle and asked.
"Where shall it be? Home, sirT"
"Why, yes, drive us to No.

"Really?" was the unenthuslastic re-

Mr.. Jerry stifed his sentiment and
shut the cab door with bang. Dan
pulled BOnfire's head into position and

obvious ribs. Bonfire, his head bob

Thoroughness In Potato Crop.

The year before the planting of the
potatoes the land was in pasture and
partly covered with bushes. 1t was
cleared, plowed and sowed to Hungarian
grass. On the 1-2 acres in the piece
only one small load of Hungarian hay
was secured, the land being in poor
condition and no fertilizer used. The
land was plowed again in the spring and
thoroughly narrowed with spring tooth
harrow and finished with an acme har.
row.
The land after the complete pulveriz.
ing was furrowed and 1400 pounds high
grade complete manure for corn, grain
and grass was applied in the burrows pei
acre. The fertilizer was then mixed
with the soil by running cultivator In
the furrow, where the seed was dropped
by hand, and covered with the cultivator.
The ground was kept thoroughly fine
and all weeds prevented from starting
by frequent cultivation until the tops
covering the ground prevented further
working of the soil. The bugs were
kept in subsection by the use of Bug
Death sifted dry on the vines, which is
a costly way of getting rid of the bugs.
The yield was at the rate of 800 bushels
per acre, some portions of the field do
ing better than that.
This crop was raised before had ma
chinery for planting, spraying, etc. The
fertilizer was "corn special' as when
I went after the phosphate the agent
was out of the potato phosphate and l
took what he had on hand. There was
not handful of weeds on the 1-2 acres
at digging time and hand hoe was not
used on the field for hoeing during the
season. With improved machinery, po-
tatoes can be handled much cheaper and
larger acreage planted. We are now
using the potato planter, two horse

purposes. now use about one ton oi
