HOW JIMMY" REYNOLDS
FED THE ELEPHANT.

When it comes to energy and elo-
quence. the career of Assistant Secre-
tary Reynolds is one of the chief fac
tors of the G. o. p. (Grand Old Par
ty) game, in which good play is al
ways looked for under the emblem OF
the elephant.
A controversy recently arose in ref
erence to charge on some elephants
which were being imported into this
country, and while the decision was
pending, the beasts were left on the
hands of the department, through
which they were obliged to pass, and
of which Secretary Reynolds is one of
the moving spirits. But Jimmy
was equal to the emergency, and his
training as secretary of a state CEN
trail committee now served him well.
He thought, "If l can only provide
hay enough for those elephants to
keep them in good condition until /
deliver them to their owners l shall
be all right"
So he arranged to have the ami
mails exhibited, and the gate receipts
realized enough funds to pay for the
keep of the elephants while they re-
manned in the possession of Uncle
Sam. They were not only kept, but
they were we'll fed with bundle after
bundle of rich, sweet scented meadow
hay-and all owing to the ingenuity
of Jimmy Reynolds!
Before he thought of this plan for
feeding his charges, he certainly
must have felt some perplexity, for
he was neard to say:
When it comes to putting up hay
for cows and horses, or sheep, |
know what to do; but when it is a
case Of elephants, and supplying car
load lots, / am rather In a quandary.
Our Oriental friends have their trou-
bles, as well as the fellows who run
congeyances with gasolene and cleo
trio sparkers.
The trouble In keeping the ele-
plants was. of course, that, being
seized for the duties, there was no
appropriation for feeding them; for,
strange to say, congress has not con
sidered the possibility of such an oc-
currence, and has provided no fund
for the purchase Of hay to feed the
elephants; and no money can be ap-
proprlated for this or any other pur-
pose until 1t is accounted for. 1t
looked for a time as though the ele-
plants might die OF starvation. but
when Secretary Reynolds gazed into
the eyes OF the hungry beasts his
sympathy was stirred and the wav-

ELLEN TERRY.

BY E. Harcourt Williams, in the
March Metropolitan Magazine.
"A star danced, and under that / was
born"
A star, they say, her coming did pro-
claim
And gaily tripped a measure DER
the earth
In joyous welcome of her precious
birth.
o, happy star, l would l knew thy
name
That thou mightst share the glory of
her fame,
AS we have shared the treasures of
her mirth
And known the anguish of those
tears, the worth
OF ringing voice meath angry eyes
a1ame;
For fifty years she's held the old
worlds heart
Nor frees 1t yeat from such sweet
embrace,
But triumph after triumph, part on
part,
Swells that fair galaxy of wit and
grace
That all aglow with magic of her
art
Shall blaze for ever in the depths of
space.

POTATOES IN MAINE.
Tho Industry In a Flourishins State.
Expense Of Fertilizers.

Tho Industry In a Flourishing State.
Expense Of Fertilizers.
A rather careful study Of the potato
situation IN Maine has been made by
L. G. Dodge, an expert. sent into the
potato section by the department Of
agriculture. lie finds the industry in a
fourishlng condition.
A Common Rotation.
A common rotation in northern Maine
is to plow under a clover sod from
which one crop Of hay has been taken
and then plant the potatoes, followed
by oats, with clover sown IN the oats.
The heavy clover sod is plOwed under
in the fall, securing a rich foundation
for the crop and lessening the tenden-
cy 10 scab. From 900 to 1900 pounds
OF high grade commercial fertilizer are
used. In some cases the extra 500
pounds Of fertilizer yield an Increase in
the crop sufficient 10 pay for the whole
1000 pounds. The fertilizer cost IS $50
to S35 per acre and seems TO be the
chief item IN the larger expense rs
compared with western potato grow
ing Fertilizers containing a high per
cent OF potash are approved, and the
Aroostook farmers object 70 barnyard
manure and ashes because Of liability
to cause scab This system Of farming
requires but little live stock, and the
clover, hay and oats obtained In the ro-
tation are often sold or the farm.
Spraying 70 Control Blight.
Most OF the large growers spray with
bordeaux mixture TO control blight. on
some farms the potato beetles are SO
scarce that the paris green spraying IS
not considered necessary. The spray.
ing season extends from the first OF
July 10 the middle OF August. the mum
Der Of sprayings depending on the
weather.
Potatoes are generally planted with a
machine planter in rows three feet
apart and twelve to fifteen inches In
the rows. Cultivation begins within q
week after planting, using the horse
hoe and slightly hilling the rows. Then
follows the two horse cultlvator when
the potatoes begin 20 break the ground
Cultivation IS repeated about once a
week, alternating horse hoe with the
cultlvator, and giving altogether five
to seven civilizations.
Equipment Of a Large Farm.
For equipment OF n large farm grow
ing fifty acres OF potatoes yearly are
required two men and two teams. with
two sulky plows. two spring tooth har
rows. one planter, one two-horse rid
ing cultlvator, one horse plow, one po-
tato -spraycr. one digger; total cost OF
machinery, s4C0.
AS compared with western potato
growing the chief points OF advantage
seem to be the use Of heavy clover sod
thorough cultivation by machinery
thorough spraying for blight and. IN
general, the use Of machinery I'm every
part OF the process OF raising and
handling the crop.--American CultIva'
