Spellbinding by Phonopraph.

One of the unionist members of par
Lament who lost his seat in the recent
political upheaval in England arrived
in New York a few days ago, and,
in trying to explain exactly how it
was that his liberal opponent had un-
seated him, referred to the successful
campaign waged in behalf of Lord
Edmund Barnard Talbot, the member
from the Chichester division of Sus.
sex, by his wife, Lady Mary Talbot.
A few days before he was to open
his campaign for reelection Lord
Talbot, he said, went deer stalking
and met with an accident that was
serious enough to preclude all posi-
bility of his conducting a personal
campaign. Lady Talbot, woman Of
great political sagacity, realized at
once that unless somebody came to the
rescue her husband probably would
be beaten.
Accordingly her ladyship procured
monograph (of American manufac.
ture), and into this instrument her
husband spoke a dozen or so speeches.
Then she arranged to visit every sec.
ton of her husbands constituency.
It was extensively advertised that
Lady Talbot was to appear for Lord
Talbot, and that she would be &C.

Sunlight In the House.

Sunlight is natures most health-giv-
ing scavenger. A house without sun
light is unhealthy and unsafe for
human occupancy, and it is necessary
not only to have some sunlight but to
have as much of it as possible. It is,
of course, not feasible to admit the
direct rays of the sun to every room
of a house; the typical plan of all
houses is square or rectangular and
at least one side of the house is en-
tirely beyond the reach of the sun.
The other three sides, however, can
receive more or less direct sunlight
and the problem of the plan is thus
reduced to arranging the various
rooms so that the amount of sunlight
is adjusted to their uses, and it must
be sunlight, for mere light itself is not
sufficient; the rays of the sun have
curative and cleansing properties that
nothing else has.
1t is generally admitted that a
southern exposure is the best for all
houses and should be obtained when
ever possible.
In dwellings of average size the en-
trance front will also be the front on
which any important room opens, but
in large country houses the old dis
tinction of a front and back to a
house has disappeared and instead
we have the entrance front and the
garden front; the service and SER
wants. quarters, so long regarded as
characteristic of the ''back" of a
house, may be RELOCATED to side end
or placed in wing that abuts directly
on the entrance front. In such cases
it must be we'll screened and it's pur
pose thoroughly subordinated.-

Dairy Foods.

Dairymen who have carefully noted
results and quality of butter from GER
tain kinds of feedstuffs say that butter
from silage feeding is excellent when
some meal and bran are also fed.
Whole oats and course hay will make
a hard, crumbly butter, while ground
oats and clover produce a good quail
ity.
Oats has great influence, but more
prominent when fed in combination
with something else.
Linseed meal, if fed in large guam
titles, makes a soft product, but a
normal condition is noticed when but
a moderate amount is fed.
AS a milk stimulator the oil is very
valuable, but it is almost too expen-
sive to be used very commonly.
Corn meal with coarse folders in
large rations makes a very firm but
ter, but finer mould is found when
other grains are mixed with it.
In the south cottonseed meal is used
very extensively and hard butter is
the result, while bran and shorts pro-
duce normal composition.
Too many potatoes will bring a
very poor quality of butter. There is
but little nutriment in them, but if
grain is added an excellent article is
the result. Timothy and tubers have
no value as buttermakers, nothing
better than a hard tallowy substance
being the result.

row with a shovel pillow rows thirty
eight to forty inches apart, and drop
the seed by hand. With seed potatoes
the size of hens egg, the seed end
is thrown away; the larger ones are
cut to two strong eyes.
Drive team astride of the rows
and cover with wooden float, going
lengthwise of the rows, which covers
them two or three inches, the furrow
being still open at top. Follow soon
with a weeder, two or three times be-
fore they come up; the ground will
then be level and no weeds visible.
Continue the use of weeder until they
are up five or six inches, then use
spring-tooth cultivator and OCCASION
ally a 14-tooth cultivator, keeping
the ground at all times free from
weeds and as nearly level as possible.
GOOD CULTIVATION.
I pick out good piece of ground,
pillow it in the fall and in the spring
take disk harrow and drag it good
and later drag again. The potatoes
are cut with potato cutter which will
cut about one hundred bushels a day.
With my horse potato planter I plant
from eight to ten acres day.
After all are planted I use riding
cultivator, and when nearly time for
them to come up drag about twice.
When the plants are four inches high
I put the small shovels on the cultiva-
tor and go as close as I can to them
and cultivate as long as can get be-
tween the rows. I don't hill my
potatoes. Spray them about twice
for bugs. I plant about twenty -one
inches apart and two feet eight inches
the other way, and am careful to put
out good big seed.
Potatoes are my main crop and I
plant about fifteen acres every year.
SOME HOMEMADE MACHINERY.
I pillow the ground about ten days
before planting. I use gang pillow
with harrow attached, so as to do the
work at one time, as it keeps the
moisture in the ground. Then 1 har-
row thoroughly with twenty-s1x foot
harrow.
To cut the potatoes I use cutter of
my own construction, two knives
crossed, SO it cuts the potato in four
pieces at one time. Cut the long way
of the potato. I use fair-sized, oval
shaped ones, and plant in drills three
feet six inches by ten to twelve
inches in the row. I use planter
that made from an old mower. It
digs the furrow and covers and
presses the ground at the same time.
I can plant as fast as a team can
walk.
We have the seed in sacks, set a
short distance apart across the field.
to fill the basket when empty. A man
and boy can plant from six to eight
acres a day with this rig /

SOIL AND SEED.

The first thing to be considered in
potato growing is preparing the soil
for planting. Potatoes should when
ever possible be planted on ground
(which has been in clover the previous
year. I believe in blowing sufficiently
deep to provide good seed bed. Ex-
7perience has taught me that the potato
is more apt to grow smooth in soft
soil and that it is quite sure to be
rough in hard and baked soil.
Next to be considered is the item of
seed. | prefer the seed potato should
be about the size of a large hen s.
egg, this is to be cut into two pieces
and one piece planted in hole.
HORSE planters are used for planting,
which has great advantage over the
hand planter or hoe, saving about
half the time and a good share of the
labor.
Dragging is started right away af-
ter planting and continued at inter-
walls, according to the weather condi-
tions. Dragging is very important
and if thoroughly done will save much
labor later on with the cultivator, and
in seasons when early bugs are num-
erous will destroy many of the eggs,
which is of great advantage.
The cultivation is done with sulky
cultivator: which destroys about three
times as many weeds as the walking or
hand cultivator and stirs the ground
up good deal better.

SOIL PREPARATION.

We raise from four to eight acres
of potatoes yearly, and have dis
carded the hoe almost entirely, though
as yet we have not used machinery for
planting. We tried the hand planter,
but the soil is too heavy for its
successful use.
We take much pains in preparing
the seed bed to have the soil we'll

THE pRospEc
BY LLOYD KENYON JONES.

~~-~~' -
A type that links the western hearts,
That spurs men on to better deeds,
The subtlest of the subtle arts,
The openest of open creeds.
To rob no man of his just share,
Nor cause a tear of dire regret,
To find what nature planted there,
And then, for mans sake, did forget
To him the starlight, wan and pale,
Alone becomes his Counterpart;
His couch, the lonely mountain TRAIL
His lullaby, the falling rain.
Alone he tramps in search of gold;
But not great things just for himself.
And like the pilgrims as of old.
His lonely thoughts are not of pelf.
The pioneer who blazes trails,
And leaves the struggling mob be-
hind;
They suffer if his mission fails,
To him they are the halt and blind.
The harbinger of better days
Purveyor of more prosp 'rous times,
Whose efforts, like lights blessed rays
Seem mingled with more blessed
chimes.
And where he walked but yesteryear,
A thriving camp and wealth abound
Where's r he and his wand appear,
Great riches and good times are found.
His wand, the pick; his luck, the pan,
And he, the god of treasure troves;
He goes, he finds, he lifts the ban,
And when he finds, the more he roves.
He opened up the golden West,
And where he went, the millions live;
He took privations; gave the best,
His mission-but to find and give.
And to this architect of fame,
Of riches and of national banks,
A gentle tribute we should frame
This gen'ral of the pi'peer ranks.
The blessings of PROSPEROUS land,
Are yours today: forever, too;
Old fellow, grasp the great glad hand
And here's the best on earth to youl
