of the tubers exposed, and the boxes
placed In a light room having q
temperature OF SO to so degrees.
Vigorous sprouts soon pushed from
the exposed eyes The whole potatoes
were planted in burrows In March
parallel with potatoes from a storage
cellar.
The tubers sprouted In the moist
sand produced table potatoes from 7
to 10 days earlier than the storage
cellar seed.
At the Rhode Island Station me-
dium-scized whole potatoes sprouted
on racks, in q fairly warm and light
room, gave 81 per cent. better
yield at the first digging than pota-
toes kept In cold cellar until plant
Ing time; and this was increased to
40 per cent. at the final digging. The
percentage of large tubers was also
greater at each digging with the
sprouted tubers.
The rack used held trays. Each
tray was "a feet long and l " feet
wide, and would hold about bushel
OF potatoes when spread out In sim
gle layer for sprouting. The bot
toms of the trays were made OF
pieces of lath placed about | inch
apart. Nine trays we're placed In q
rack over each other, leaving about
8 inches OF space between each tray.
This method of arrangement has the
advantage of securing very uni
form distribution of light, heat. and
air for all the trays.

STEEL PASSENGER CAR.

The steel PASSENGER Car just complet
ed. by the Pressed Steel Car Co. OF
Pittsburg for the Southern Railway
was an object of general interest to the
members of the Master Car Builders
Convention in Atlantic City. where the
car was exhibited. The Car is "A feet
6 inches long over all, 66 feet long in
side. 1t is 8 feet 10 inches wide and IA
feet 2 inches high. 1t weighs lO,0OO
pounds, and has two six wheel trucks.
There Was no wood used in its con-
struction except for interior trimmings.
and this wood is made fireprOOf. Over
the steel plates which compose the
floor are laid two courses of wooden
flooring with felt paper betWeen n them,
and on top of the wood is plain, heavy
oilcloth. In general appearance and
finish the car is said to be equal to
ordinary passenger cars, while its steel
construction renders it much safer to
ride in. IL is said that the car could
not be telescoped in collision, neither
could the ends be smashed in, and fur
thermore. it is non. combustible. 1t is
said to weigh about Is per cent. more
than an ordinary wooden coach, but
1t is expected to reduce the weight
about per cent. without affecting the
advantages of steel construction. Two
other steel passenger cars are being
made by the same builders for the
Southern Railway, and the PennsYl-
vania Railroad also has an experiment.
al order with them.

A Method of Est mating tho Value
of a Cow.

In undertaking to place an estimate
on the value of a COW the exact amount
of milk and butter fat produced should
be determined.
Most people when estimating the
value of a COW will be largely Influenced
by the statements made by the owner
of the number of gallons OF milk sue
will produce. This information ID
usually very misleading as most per-
Sons do not take into consideration Tue
foam i'll milk. and again, the party
wshi x to sell COW will sometimes
exaggerate as TO her production, as
well.
The milk from COW as us 'ally
measured should not be given any con-
sideration but to know the exact
amount of milk Cow gives 1t should
be weighed with an accurate tcaie'
foam ADDS nothing TO the welght OF
milk, When the milk from COW ls
weighed morning and evening then her
daily production Can be estimated, but
it is better to know the weight OF milk
produced for number of consecutive
milkings and to take an average OF
tho ose for determining her daily pro-
duction.
After determining the amount OF milk
produced per day in pounds and
ounces. then one should know the aver. =.
age butter fat contained there in; this
can be determined by taking sample
from each milking and from about five
consecutive milkings. putting these
SAMPLES together and determining the
Der cent of butter fat in this composite
sample: this will be an average per
cent of fat for the time during which
the samples were taken. From the
average daily production Of milk and
the average per cent Of fat the average
amount of fat produced daily can be
ascertained. As six pounds OF butter
fat thus determined will make about
seven pounds of butter the value OF the
milk for butter making purposes can
be determined. As butter fat is the
foundation of cream, the value OF the
milk put into cream can be estimated.
While this method does not give any
idea of the amount of milk and butter
fat COW will produce during her milk
ing period, it does show how much she
is producing in butter or cream for the
time being.
No dairyman should be without this
record of each one of his COW at any
time. twill enable him to know when
a COW is not producing an amount
which justifies her keep and she can
then be replaced with a better COW.
Where records are kept as has been
suggested at the end of the milking
period the amount of milk and the
amount OF butter fat from each COW
can be estimated and her value for
that period pretty closely determined.

Fatten Melons With Cows Milk.

Scientific and agricultural circles
are highly Interested in discovery
which a farmer near Marseilles. France,
claims to have made, and the correct
ness of his statements will be thorough
ly tested at some of the experimental
stations of the Department of Agricul-
ture. According to the statement OF
the farmer who is responsible for the
new theory, water melons, freely sup
piled with milk poured around their
roots, will grow to twice their norma
size. The man first tried the expert
ment several years ago, and won nu-
merons prizes at agricultural exhlDl-
tions with his fine water melons. Inc
process is said to not only increase the
size of the melons, but to insure tirm
red pulp and delicious flavor.

How 1t Read.

1t wasd't a Missouri editor, but a
printers devil, who was going through
his first experience of making up
forms. The paper was late and the
boy got the galleys mixed. The first
part of the obituary notice had been
dumpsd in the forms, and the next
handful of type came off a galley de-
scrlbing recent fire. 1t read like
this: 1.-The pall-bearers lowered the
body to the grave and as it was con-
signed to the flames. there were few if
any regrets, for the old wreck bad been
an eyesore to the town for years. OF
course there was individual loss, but
that was fully covered by insurance. "
The widow thinks the editor wrote the
that way because the lament-
ed partner of her joys and sorrows
owed on subscription.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
DON'T MISTAKE THE CAUSE OF YOUR
TROUBLES.

DON'T MISTAKE THE CAUSE OF YOUR
TROUBLES.
Many people never suspect their kid
news. If suffering from a lame, weak
or aching back they think that 1t Is
only muscular weakness; when uri-
nary trouble sets in they think it will
soon correct itself. And so it is with
all the other systems of kidney disor-
ders. That is just where the danger
lies. You must cure these troubles or
they lead to diabetes or Bright's dis
ease. The best remedy to use is DOan e
Kidney Pills. 1t cures all ills which
are caused by weak or diseased kid
neys.
John P. Rhodes, of Main St., the
we'll known farmer. whose farm is one
mile east of Lexington, Va. says: VI
