pApYRUs FOR BANK NOTES.
italian Government VIII Raise II -
a Monopoly.

In only n place in Europe 10
the papyrus plant still to be found
This is on the upper reaches OF
the little river Anapo, in Sicily,
near the mouth of which Syracuse
is situated.
Papyrus cultivation was a very
important branch Of agriculture
with the antique and classic works,
for it was from the pith of this
semiaquatic plant that the material
was made upon which the ancients
wrote; a material similar to tough,
thick, whitey-brown paper, which
modcrns call papyrus.
1t was the writing paper of tho
world for over 1900 years-a long
period for any manufactured article
to command the market and sue
cessfully defy all competition.
Now the Italian minister Of
finance is planning to utilize tho
papyrus plant again. Its cultIva-
ton is TO be undertaken by the min
istry of agriculture, and a state fac
tory for the manufacture of papy-
rus paper is to be erected.
A law is to be. passed declaring
both the cultivation and the manu-
facture to be government monopO-
lies, and the papyrus paper is to be
employed exclusively for the pur-
poses Of the currency.
Bank notes printed on papyrus
paper would, under those circum-
stances, be really inimitable. In
Italy-the note forgers' paradise
this would be Of i~ncalculablc advan-
tage to the government and to the
public.

A remarkable romance has just
been associated with the accident
hospital at Widnes, Lancashire.
England.
A young man met with a ter

rendered it necessary for his arms
to be amputated at the shoulders.
He was tenderly nursed by a pretty
young member of the hospital staff,

tween them gradually ripened into
love.
The nurse has just married her
armless lover. She has some small

Fasts Concerning Herring.


Some new facts concerning the her
ring are contained in the scientific
section Of the fishery board for Scot
land. According to a paper by DR..
Wemyss Fulton, certain theories as 70
the gl0wth and age Of the fish which
have been accepted for the last quar-
ter OF a century are not well found
ed. II now appears that the herring
Is a fish Of slow growth, and 10 barely
2A inches in length when one year
old. It does not reach maturity and
spawn until five years old, and Is
then Of an average length Of ss
inches. Herrings over 12 inches long,
ike the large Loeb Fyne fish, may be
ten years old and more, and the large
specimens that are occasionally
caught, measuring from "A to ID
inches, are probably over Is years
old. and may be 20. Investigations are
in progress to discover the reason fol
the decline in the herring fishery o.
Loeb Fyne in recent years. An inter
esling method which has been adopt
ed to trace the migrations of the fsf
consists in marking some OF then
while in the seine net with printed
silk tag and setting them free. Owe
500 have been thus marked, but. s.
far, only five have been caught again
and these we're near the place of lib

Coed Ground. Good Seed and Coed eu''
tivatlen Are Essential

From my experience IN the raising
of potatoes It seems TO me there are
three things to be especially consid-
cred; these are. good ground, good
seed potatoes and good care Of the
land, writes an Iowa correspondent Of
the Northwestern Agricufurist.
First we will consider the ground.
Plow early in the fall. or In August II
possible, not shallow. but middling
deep. Oats lar6 IS preferred for this
reason. and have found It to produce
the meaIlest potatoes. Wheat and corn
land will give the tubers which are
glossy and hard, but those raised on
oats land are Of the incest quality for
home and market use Disk three
times in the spring so the land will be
loose and plant Immediately after small
grain or in the first part of May
Planting later will give the bugs
chance, but by putting the seed in
early the plant will be getting tough
by the time the bugs begin their work
and they do not care for tough leaves.
In late planting, also, the plant is young
and tender and the seed will not be
as large nor healthy.
Selection Of the seed: / have come
to one conclusion, that is, use the best
seed to be bought Plant none that is
small or unhealthy. Select your seed
potatoes as you do your corn. Use
only those that are round and smooth
and that have shallow eyes! About the
size of an egg is my favorite, or little
smaller will do. Cut the heads on just
enough to kill the sprouts SO closely
connected, as two or three eyes are
sufficient for a good hill Cut them
about three weeks before planting
; them, so the part that was cut can dry
up. If planted Immediately after be
! ing cut, the ground will draw one-thirt
of the substances from the potato anS

In digging either an open ditch OF
one that is intended for tiling, always
begin at the outlet and have this out
let so that there will be drop Of at
least six inches. Tile drains are often
rendered entirely useless when they
flow into stream or pond on the
level or when. they open out on the
ground without any drop at the
mouth and unless there is consider
able fall there it win be but short
time before the drain is plugged up at
the mouth and the whole system rem
dered worthless until cleaned out.
The best drains are straight, as this
allows the tile to be placed In line
without curves. which retard the flow
Of water Sand and silt win lodge at
curve If anywhere, in the drain. In
order to insure straight ditch, line
should be used, set three and one-half
inches back from where the ditch is
to be. so that it will not be disturbed
when the trench is dug.
The tile used should be large
enough to remove in from "a to 2S
hours all the excess Of water from the
heaviest rains. Where there are large
wet places to be drained, large pipes
are necessary, but where the work o.
draining is systematically carried ou
over an entire field regardless of wa
ter or contents, wet or low places
smaller tile win give satisfaction. Th'
greater the flow, the smaller the till
may be- II the grade Is doubled it in
creases the carrying capacity Of tn
tile nearly one-third. If anyone is il
doubt as to what size tile to use
would be safest to get some that
too large rather than too small O
account Of sediment, roots and silt.
is seldom advisable to use tile smalle
than three inches in diameter, a
though on high ground two inch til

main must depend on the area to /
