Diving Suit with Laced-Up Leos

Blowing up" is one of the accidents
to which deep water divers are the
most liable. When a diver is crawling
on the bottom with his head down, air
may accumulate in the back of the
suit, and, gaining access to the legs,
cause him to turn turtle and shoot
helplessly upward, with the risk of
coming into contact with a ships or
boats bottom. To make such acct
dents impossible, the diving committee
of the English admiralty has recon-
mended that all new diving suits be
provided with an arrangement for lac
ing up the legs and thighs.

FIsHWoMEN ON THEIR DIGNITY.
English Show Up a Police Inspector
He is Removed.

A telegram from Cherbourg. Eng.
land, describes strange happening
there. The fishermen had brought in
big catch of fish and shellfish and
the market was Just opening when a
ponce Inspector stepped up TO one
OF the fislwives to make a note of
an infringement of the local bylaws.
The woman bad stepped two yards
further than the bylaw allowed her TO
do. A minute later a second police
complaint was made-against a wo-
man who had undertaken 10 sell the
fish of fishwife who was ill. A third
complaint was made against a fisher
man who went out of his turn in put
ting up his catch for sale
The news of the police ofticiousness
spread quickly Many of the women
were still bargaining with the fisher
men, but the last bids and counter
bids could not be heard for the shouts
OF the women established behind the
fish baskets on the market place. In
two minutes the word was passed
round that the fishwives We're going to
close the market in order to show
their Indignation against the police.
For some time all was hurry and
hustle, within ten minutes the market
square had been cleared and the fish
returned to the boats in which they
had been brought into harbor. Thus
it was that the 10000 inhabitants of
Cherbourg were without fish The
strike came to an end, owing to the
removal by the municipal authorities
of the obnoxious police inspector.

How to Vote Next Tuesday.

New things always have their attendent quotas
of misinformation The same is true of the pri-
mary ballots, and the way they are to be voted
When the voter enters the polling place he will
state what party he is affiliated with. He will
find that there is ballot for each party, Republi-
cam Democrat, Socialist and Prohibtionist, and
that there will not be one big ticket as at the gen
eral election. Upon stating what party he trains
WITH ballot of the candidates for nominations Of
that party will be handed him. He will have to
mark a in each space reserved for an office,
and of course cannot vote straight ticket by
placing a cross in the circle at the top, because
there is no circle. There can be none for the rea-
on that for most Offices there are one or more
candidates. So it behCOves a voter to study his
ballot carefully and get this matter straight in his
mind Separate ballots and statement of party
affiliations are had because the law contemplates
that none but Republicans should vote the Repub-
lican ticket, more but Democrats the Democratic
ticket, none but Socialists the Socialist ticket and
none but Prohibitionists the Prohibition ticket.

can Agriculturist gives further details
of this splendid potato:
One of the potatoes exhibited at the
Ohio state fair last fall which attract
ed our attention was an improved
strain of Green Mountain. Speaking of
this variety, the producer says: Sew
eral years ago we procured a small
amount of seed from Il we'll known
farm Of the original Green Mountain
potato. l noted the very desirable and
strong features this potato possessed.
On the other hand, among the undesir-
able qualities was lack of uniformity
and smoot!lness in the tubers. The
eye we're too deep and the yield usual
ly not in Keeping with the vigor and
spread of the Vie.
By careful selection of certain bills
and tubers showing the least fault in
these respects l eventually secured a
potato that practically eliminated all
the faults. By growing these several
years under most favorable cultural
conditions on a light loan soil abun'
dainty supplied with humus and chem
icals finally secured what l consider
a strain of Green Mountain that Is far
superior to the original. l planted only
perfect specimens and as a result have
secured a potato possessing all the
strong points Of the original and lack

The potato is ream white, with a
slightly netted skin, rather oblong and
somewhat fattened as we'll as uniform
in size. 1t sets moderately we'll. and a
large per cent Of the tubers of the po-
tatoes develop to marketable size.
Only 4 per cent Of the total yield has
been considered culls on my farm dur
ing the past six years. Tubers are
rarely If ever hollow and are superb
for table use. 1t is a yielder Of exccp-
tional merit, and it is popular wher-
ever 1t has been grown.

the younger trees produce large apples.
The reason for this is usually attrib-
uted alone to the age of the trees and
not to the fact that the trees have been
for years drawing upon the plant food,
while nothing has been added to the
soil.
Professor c. G. Hopkins of the Hi
to the fertility of the soil: "The pro-
ductive capacity of practically all soils
in good physical condition is measured
by the available supply of the three
elements. nitrogen, phosphorus and po-
tassium. These are the elements
comparatively small amounts and yet
are absolutely required by all agricul-
tural plants and in very considerable
quantities"
Practically all grain farmers now
realize that it is Improbable to at
on the same soil without adding fer
t%ilizers. In the west where the soils
have not yet been totally deprived Of
all food elements barnyard manure,
clover or peas and other legumes are
usually sufficient to keep the soil in
good productive condition, and these
manures are now applied at the proper
time by all progressive grain farmers.
Many fruit growers apparently rea-
son that it is not necessary to fertilize
soils upon which fruit trees are grow
ing.
1t is conceded by all progressive
farmers that in order to maintain the
soil fertility and get maximum crops
Of grain from a given field it is neces-
sary to put back in the soil a part at
least of the food elements removed by
the crop. Since an apple crop removes
more plant food per acre than the
grain crops. it seems only reasonable
that more plant food should lie re-
turned to the soil.
