 seem to show that he took a special
 interest in certain things. When in Paris the boulevardiers were kept busy telling of his escapades among the

 due to his disease. When travelling to
 Paris in 1902 he gave orders that the

PICKING UP POTATOES.

Many styles of potato diggers have
been invented, even to one, which we
mentioned lately, that is called q hand
digger. and supposed to take the place
of other hand tools and expedite the
work
The latest is one described by the
Denver Field and Farm. 1t is not
specified that it differs materially
from others, except that the potatoes
as dug, drop on an elevator which
carries them up into a wagon driven
along by the side of the digger, as
it works, after the fashion OF the old
style wheat headers.
This would save much back aching
work in picking up the potatoes. but
unless it was so made that it would
sort them as carried up. they would
have to be all handled over again.

to be a labor saving implement The

THE HARVEST BARREL.

Bobby and Betty had just eaten
supper when the door-bell rang. They
were expecting the expressman to
bring them something, so they ran
to the window to look out.

Bobby. "It's out on the side porch

1t was a barrel, and such big
barrel that two eXpressmen had ali

When it was rolled into the centre OF
the kitchen it looked larger than ever
Why, it stood as high as Bobby's
head, and together the children
could not reach around it.
Bobby got the hammer and chisel
and helped his father pry out the
cover. Around and around they
pounded until out it sprang.
On the very top Betty found card

read it aloud:

SPRAYING PAID FOR POTATOES

Careful potato growers can no lon
ger doubt the advantage of spraying
in ''blight" years; but some doubt
whether the practice is profitable
year after year. Tests along this line
have been continued for five years
by the experiment station at Geneva,
N. Y, and the evidence presented IN
Bulletin No. 290, giving details of the
fifth years test and summaries Of
preceding ones. seems conclusive in
favor of the practice. The gain each
year has been profitable; and there
is already much more than enough
excess of gain over cost to pay Tor
spraying five years more. Similar
gains, though not quite so great, were
obtained by farmers under tests care
