potatoes and early peas have been 70
moved, set plants of late varieties Of
celery, such as Giant Pascal and Fin

like turnips or beets, for winter use.
They are very delicious.

Ardor For Sitting.

A Remedy That Mn
Ardor For Sitting.
The head OF a bureau in an impor-
tant government department has long
been afflicted with a friend who calls
upon him regularly and sits down and
sits and sits and goes on sitting till
assault and battery becomes 4 virtue.
The other day this sedentary bore was
in the full exercise Of his functions
when suddenly the official, who had
been scrutinlnzing him closely, cried: II
knew 1t l was sure Of 1t! Confound
those office boys, with their tricks on
strangers. They've been putting glue
on your chair again. Hi, Jimmie, bring
a sponge and a pail of water!" And,
pressing with all his weight on the
shoulders Of his victim to keep him
down, he continued Don't stir; you'd
teal the cloth sure. Nothing is half so
adhesive as glue on a cam e chair.
Here, johnnie. moisten this gentleman
SO that we can get him loose. Don't
spare the water the cloth won't shrink
or fade" The faithful messenger
obeys, and when the Jperation ia con
cIuded the official conducts the visitor
to the door and bids him farewell, with
the remark perhaps you want to hur-
ry home and change your clothing, 80 l
won't keep you. Goodby, bless you! If
your trousers are spoiled, let me know,
and III stop the price Of them out of
the pay of the Internal scoundrel If l
can find out who be was, and to that
task will devote all the energies of
my lifetime and the whole machinery
of the government. Goodbye; The
scoundrel! l thought for several days
past that there vas something wrong"
His friend goes like the visions Of
youth. never to acknowledgements

For q number of years it has not only
been a question with dairymen whether
or not it pays to feed grain to COWS
when on good pasture. but the stations
have been in grave doubt about 1t. On
this subject one thing seems to have
been certainly settled, and that is poor
or very ordinary cows, that IS, the av-
"ragc mixer Will not pay for the extra
grain, and it may be further stated
that it is always q question If that
kind of cow will pay ever on good pas
turc if you charge her with the grass
she eats. Hut when it comes to the
good or extra milking cow, then it Is
equally well settled that even with the
best pasture it does pay to give her
extra ground feed.
Professor G. II. Eckles of the Uni
vcrsity of Missouri, after treating Of
the poor mixer, APPLY says: The IN
ditions are altogether different, how
ever with a heavy producing COW. 1t
is not only economical, but absolutely
necessary to feed grain in addition to
pasture to a very heavy mixer, or she
will decline rapidly in the amount of
milk produced. 1t is impossible for a
sufficient amount of grass or rouglness
to be consumed by any animal to en-
able such quantities of milk and butter
TO be produced as the best COWS IOWA
DAYS are capable Of producing. AS long
as a COW Is producing not over one
Dound of butter a day it is possible for
necessary foOd to be secured from the
pasture, but when the production be-
gins to go higher the necessity of feed
ing grain comes in. 1t cannot be ex-
Dected that any cow will produce one
and one-half to two pounds Of butter
a day for any great length of time on
grass alone."-Wallace's Farmer.
In order to sift out and know to
which COWS the grain should be fed you
should weigh the milk. AS a general
rule Jerseys require seventeen, natives
and Ayrshires twenty-five, Holsteins
near thirty pounds of milk to make one
pound Of butter. One thing is well
settled, all COWS shrink less on bad
pasture when fed grain, and ali of them
do better the following winter.

Ferti.i.ers for Sweet Potatoes.
An excessive amount Of organic mat
ter in the soil has a tendency to pro
durc an abundant growth Of vines, at
the cost Of the roots. On soils that 90
not contain sufficient organic matter to
produce Il fair growth of vine, the pota-
toes will be small and the yield un-
satisfactory.
On lands that are deficient in organic
matter, stable anu is recommended
as a fertilizer. Heavy applications Of
fresh manure before planting will slim
ulate the growth Of both weeds and the
vines. at the expense Of the roots. Well
rottcd stable manure may be used at
the rate Of ten TO fifteen cart loads to

He made up one of these art albums. and two days later called on the mother of the bride. She was delighted, and at once ordered a dozen copies at S10 for the dozen. She sent on the book let to the bride, and groom and bride also ordered a dozen each at the same price, which were ready for them by the time they returned from their honey moon. The best man, bridesmaids and several guests who were present and who happened to be in the photographs also bought copies. My friend made over $50 from his first venture, and though he was soon in another job. used his spare time evenings and Sunday after noons in making up the booklets.
 There are also plenty of other opportu- nities for the amateur snapshotter. The press of the day is, more and more. going in for illustrations. The daily. Sunday and weekly papers pay good prices for pictures of real events. They do not want to be burdened with bad photos of trivial affairs but picture of something important or some timely scene Is nearly always welcomed. The best plan Is to study the Sunday and weekly illustrated papers and you will quickly see what kind of matter they re- qulre.
