Conditions Of Growth That Bring the
Best Tubers.
The quality OF meallness In a potato
when boiled and. to considerable ex-
tent, the flavor are influenced in the
main by the following considerations.
according to a writer In American Cul.
tlvator: Q) The daily range Of soil and
atmospheric temperature during the
growing period, CO the degree Of ripe
ness Of the tuber when the plant dies
and CD the physical condition and type
Of the soil The results Of investiga-
tons obtained up to the present polnt
admit Of the following suggestions be.
ing made:
Tubcrs grow out upon a short stem
or stalk from the plant stem nt regular
nodes above the planted tuber 1t is
therefore necessary to plant five or six
inches deep On good soin In order that
the plant may have room enough to
form nodes TO accommodate the tubers
which 1t Is able to bear.

A cool pnlrx Wlthout Ice.

An ingenious woman has devised q
plan for having good. cold milk and
butter all summer without ice. It is a
homemade dairy, is cheap and easily
taken care Of and is successful. will
give the plan. and any housewife can
have it made with very little work,
says II. e. X. in American Cultivator
Get four pieces of scantllng by
inches, six feet long, and nail pieces
two feet long each way about two and
a half feet from the ground and nail
pieces Of the same at the top. Then
board over top and also lay a floor at
the bottom. Now put a shelf on each
side and cover all around and on top
with nice clean bran sacks or burlap
Leave one side open and put loops on
It AMI nails on the side to fasten it.
Put tub on top and fiji It with wa
ter ard put WOODEN strips Of cloth two
and three inches wide IN it, so that they
feed the water down and keep the
sacklng wet all the time. The air
blowing through the wet sacks keeps
everything almost as cool as If IL were
IN a refrigerator. and the butter and
milk taste better than IL they were shut
from the air and viii keep fresh much
longer in this dairy. An old blanket
makes the best feeding strips. Put in
enough TO have three or four to each
side.
This dairy was kept in the yard un-
der a shade tree. but a cool back porch
is equally good a place and more
convenient. ANY one who tries this

tubers on the ,first one or two modes.
The tubers are undersized, immature
and somewhat prone to scabbiness.
II planted shallower than three
inches the variation In temperature and
moisture is too great for proper devel-
opment. The tubers are crowded, and
there Is a large proportion Of small
compound, exposed and scabbyl tubers
and also a tendency TO produce tubers
on the stalk.
Tubers growing between the depths
OF one and 0ne-half inches and four
inches nre more uniformly good quail
ty IN appearance and cooking. In good
size and development than those grow
ing deeper or shallower.
Long tubers which grow sloping In
the ground will show a difference in
cooking quality between the endsnear-
est the surface aud the stem end. the
latter spart being more mealy when
cooked.
Though Il cannot be stated definitely,
Il is believed that good quality is de-
veloped under a uniform soil tempersl
ature OF 65 TO 70 degrees, while great

The Path Of the Earth.

The common idea as 10 the path OF
the earth being fixed In space is taken
exception TO by astronomers on the
ground that there are few. II any,
things Ia the domain OF astronomy that
can really be called fixed IN space, the
fact being that unceasing changes are
going on, though these changes arc
generally so slow as 70 escape the notice
Of a superficial observer. but are fortu-
nately periodic. so that they fall within
the possibility OF computation. Thus,
the earth's path is not fixed, since the
ecllpuc changes Its position among the
stars. In consequence OF which the OBJ
liqulty OF the ecliptic undergoes a very
slow change. 80 that while at present
It Is few seconds more than % de-
grees 81 minutes in about 5000 years
astronomers calculate II will be re-
duced TO % degrees 10 minutes, after
which Il will begin TO increase again,
la change so slow and within such mar
row limits that II can produce no sensi-
bic alterations In the seasons. The fact
remains a positive one that, even if
the earth in its orbltal and consequent
ly the sun In its apparent motion in the
ecllptic were circular. neither the mo-
ton in decllnation nor In right ascen-
sion could be uniform.

Tho Fact Of tho Drink Traffic.

Some day. when the great wrong has
been righted, the American people will
look. back upon the time when the
drink -afic was licensed as one Of the
darkest periods in their history.
DO we realize what the fact Of the
drink traffic means2 We have become
so used to its existence, so frequently
in contact with its evils, that we ac-
cept its existence as matter Of fact
without permitting the awfulness Of it
to make any impression upon Us.
The fact of the drink trafic means
that We permit the sale Of beverages
which, when taken by man. sap his
vitality destroy his brainpower, arouse
his passions, undermine his health, and
destroy his reason.
It means that we license the sale cf
that which makes man revert &c the
savagery Of early civilization, which
makes him forget the strongest ties Of
friends and family, which makes him
uorget those dependent upon him, and
wShich makes him surrender all that is
elevating and righteous for the sake Of
gratifying his appetite II means that
ourlcommunities license a traffic which
preys upon the health and morals OF
herl citizens which creates poverty,
which multiplies insanity.
1t means that the nation permits to
exist a traffic that lowers the standard
OF the morality and civilization of her
citizens, and. worse than this, that the
nation accepts pay from this traffic in
extenuation Of her crime in allowing it
to exist.
We are so accustomed to accept the
license system as irremediable that it
Is difficult for US to Look upon Il from
the right view point. When the day
dawns which sees our country free
from the legalized drink traffic, we will
wonder how we ever could have con-
sented to the license system, or the ex-
tstence Of this traffic.

A Destructive Rodent.

A single rat will consume about two
ounces of wheat or corn a day and II
destroys far more Of the latter than
Il eats. as, indeed. 1t does Of most other
food. The average cost to the country
OF feeding a rat on grain is about 30
cents year. II for each COW, korse,
sheep and hog on the farms of the
United States the farmers support one
rat on grain. the toll levied on the
cereals by these rodents would reach
the enormous total of S10O,OO0OO0 a
year. Even granting that half their
food is waste material, the tax of feed
Ing rats is still an enormous drain on
