Potato CULTIVATION.

Use alfalfa sod whenever pos
sible. Plow in the spring, FROM
the latter part Of April to the
middle Of May, usually about
eight inches deep. Finish the
days work by narrowing with a
smoothing harrow all the land
that has been plowed. After the
ground has been plowed see that
it is well leveled so that there
will be no high or low places.
Harrow sufficient number of
times to put the ground in fine
tilth; use disc if necessary.
The seed is planted with one oi
the standard makes of planters.
AS four horses are commonly
used on a planter, the ground
will be pretty thoroughly packet.
To relieve this condition the
ground is cultivated Immediately
after planting. This will help to
kill out weeds and alfalfa. A
heavy 4-shovel cultivator, drawn
by four horses, is used. The
shovels are set to throw the soil
toward the rows and to run as
deep as they will go. The depth
will vary from eight to twelve or
thirteen inches. This operation
leaves the soil loose, but more Or
less lumpy and with an uneven
surface, especially on heavy soils.
The smoothing harrows should
Immediately follow the cultivator
to re-establish the soil mulch.
The number of civilizations de
pends upon weather conditions
and upon the rapidity of the
growth of the vines. The culti-
vator is used second time as
soon as the plants are large
enough so that the rows can be
easily followed. This time the
shovels are not run quite so close
to the row, but to the same depth
unless the plants are much devel-
oped. Sometimes two civilizations
are all that are given, but ord;
narily a third follows the second
by a week or ten days, and if the
vines do not get too large or irri-
cation becomes necessary, cult
walton is continued. Each time
the cultivator is used more soil is
thrown toward the potato rows
and the hollows become deeper !;
thus ditching is easily done.
Ditching and irrigating are de
layed as long as possible. The
rule is not to irrigate if it can be-
avoided until the potatoes are
in bloom or the tubers are set.
The ditching is done with 4
narrow double mould-board plow
Three horses are attached and the
plow is run twice in each row
at about the depth Of cultivation,
or ten to twelve inches. TIL.
ditching takes the place of one
cultivation, and if the ground is
hard, Or if the first irrigation
fills the bitches to any extent,
the operation is repeated so az
to make the bitches deep enough
to keep the water below the sur
faces of the potato ridges.
From the above it will be seen
that much attention is given to
keeping the soil loose and por-
GUS: also that the potatoes are
grown in high ridges. This sys-
tenn has been evolved gradually
by our best growers in an un-
conscious effort to combat dis
ease. 1t is a complete success on
good potato soils, and much may
be done with. the heavier soils by
following the plan mentioned.

COLORADO AS A
POTATO STATE

FOIAIO 0IAIG
Colorado mines, Colorado cat
tie and Colorado fruit are known
in all parts of the world. TIL.
Colorado potato, though of equal
merit, and worth one million do.-
lars year more than the fruit 10
the state, is not so well known
as its merits deserve.
AS the element of distance is.
eliminated by better means of
transportation, the economic pro-
duets of the soil will be more and
more produced in those places
that have the natural adaptation
for growing them with the high
est quality and at the least cost
of production.
The statistics of the production
of potatoes in the United States
show that all the large ptoato
producing states are along the
north border. This is because
those states have the climate, so
far as temperature is concerned,
necessary for the proper develop
ment of the potato.
Colorado, though much farther
south, has, because of her high
altitude, similar conditions of
temperature to these northern
states. At the same time the dry
climate of Colorado prevents the
development of the dread potato
disease of the East, known as the
potato rot. or late blight. This
saves the Colorado potato grower
one of the most expensive items
Of eastern potato culture, spray
ing to prevent the loss from
blight.
Investigations conducted by
the experiment station at Fort
Collins show that Colorado potato
soils are so rich in the mineral
fertilizers that no increase in the
yield or quality results from the
use of commercial fertilizers. This
again saves the Colorado grower
one of the heavy items of expense
incident to the work of his east
ern brother.
The potato was first found in
its wild state, and is a native of
the mountain valleys Of Chill. I'm
der similar conditions the native
wild potato of North America is
found growing in the mountain
valleys of Colorado. This shows
natural adaptation of the po-
tato to the climatic conditions of
the Rocky states.
More than 80 per cent Of the
tissue of all plants is an element
that comes directly from the air.
The function of a plant in taking
the carbon from the air is only
exercised in the presence of light.
This process goes on at its best
in strong sunlight. During the
growing season in Colorado al
most constant bright sunshine is
the rule.
A survey of the agricultural
lands of Colorado shows area
enough to produce more thaa
one-fourth as many potatoes as
the United States is producing at
the present time. With all these
advantages of perfect soils, moist
ure control, climate adapted by
nature to the growth of the pota-
to, and comparative freedom
from insects and fungous dis
eases, it is reasonable to predict
that in few years Colorado will
be one of the leading, if not the
leading, potato producing states
of America.

GREAT EATERS AMONG
WORLDS FAMOUS PERSONS

The augury for fame is certainly in
favor of Mr. Taft. Here comes Claude
Berton, the French publicist, with an
argument that brilliant geniuses are
usually the possessors of brilliant ap-
petites.
Balzac was a big eater, so was
Hugo. so was Flaubert, so was Zola.
In England there has been a motley
array in modern times-Fielding
Thackeray, Dickens, Macaulay for
example. In Germany: Bismarck,
Goethe, Lessng. In America: Frank
lin, Irving, the late Mr.. Cleveland and
-perhaps-the republican nominee.
If there be any doubt remaining as
to Balzacs capacity for Gargantuan
voraciousness Berton disposis of it
when he informs US of some of the
great psychologists session at the
Cafe Very in Paris.
Here was the menu. entirely ac-
counted for by BalZac: Hors d'Oeuvre,
eight dozens of oysters, IL outlets, a
duckling, a pair of partridges, sole
and the usual balance of etceteras.
Yet Balzac's capacity for toll was
only equalled by Napoleons, and his
daily dinner was hardly ever smaller
than the one mentioned. Napoleon
ate but sparingly.
Breton mentions Zoia's literary
method varied in the ratio of his ap-
petite. In his heavy-eating periods he
produced some of the grossest mate
rial that has yet polluted literary en-
deavor-"L'Assommoir" for example,
and La Terre." on the advice of
his doctor he decided, in late life, to
cut down his provender. The result
was "Lourdes."
As to the particular dietry intel
lectual men should follow, Berton de-
clares in effect, that it should follow
the particular kind of literary attempt
made. According to this argument,
one might imagine a poet living on
sole a journalist might live on print
er's pi or "flong," singer on night
ingales' tongues, and Mr.. Edison
would keep his constitution going on
a diet of electric fish,
This is not, however, the point
made by Berton, who suggests that a
light diet is good for the man who |
writes light literature, and that when
it is question of deep study of hui |
man nature, or of a philosophical (
treatise, or an historical work, the .
brain looks for plenty of blood drawn .

FARMING
COLONIES IN BRAZIL

Consul General George f. Ander-
son writes that the Brazilian state Of
Rio de Janeiro is preparing for the
reception OF 500 japanese families per
annum as immigrants under an ar
rangement with the japanese govern
ment and emigration companies. The
state is to sell to these immigrants
lots Of land OF from Is to 20 hectares
(37.O7 to 4s.42 acres) at the rate Of
from 20 TO 40 milreis Csc TO $12 } for
cleared ground and 10 to 40 milreis
(S4.5O to S9) for fallow ground. The
best land. therefore, will be sold them
at something like IS an acre. The
japanese will farm the land in their
own fashion raising whatever crops
they wish, but it is expected that the
immigrants will consist largely Of
rice farmers and that they will effect
ually introduce Japanese methods Of
rice culture in the state and develop
the rice industry materially.

FATE OF AMERICAN
DUCHESS RESTS WITH STORK

Whether the Duchess de Chaulnes,
who was Miss Theodore Shonts, will
maintain her position among the
titled aristocrats of France, or be cast
into the outer darkness reserved for
bourgeoise commoners, depends en-
tirely upon the sex of the child ex-
.pected to be born to her within few
weeks. II the stork brings a boy
he will inherit the title and estates
of his dead father. If the bird brings
a girl. then the mother will be de-
prived of her title, which will pass
to the family of the Duo de Luynes.
The duchess is still living in the
beautiful apartments where she and
her noble husband spent the first
months of their married life, %1d
where the young duke expired in the
arms of his wife. Here the posthu-
nous child will be born.

FRANK $. MONNETT
TELLS WHY HE Is DEMOCRAT

salt Lake, Utah, Oct. 2S.-Frank S.
Monnett, ex-attorney general of Ohio
addressed a large meeting of Utah
democrats at the Salt Lake theater
last night. Mr. Monnett after dis
cussing the issues of the campaign,
said:
zone reason why left the republi-
can party and advocate the election
of Mr.. Bryan is due to the fact that
while. was prosecuting the Standard
Oil trust of Ohio, the republican cam
paign fund of Ohio was swelled by
contributions from the standard Oil
company, and in return that company
was allowed to name the personnel
of the supreme court of Ohio, where
upon all of the standard OIL cases
were promptly dismissed.

TRUNK LINES
RESTORE THREE-CENT FARE
Former Conditions of Passenger Bus
iness Will BE Re-Established on
Monday Next

Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 23.-The
five trunk lines operating in Arkan-
sas this afternoon announced that.
beginning on Monday, October 10, the
3-cent passenger rates will be re-es-
tablished in Arkansas. This is car
rying out the plan agreed upon by
the railroad companies since the state
beard was temporarily enjoined by
Judge Vandewater at st. Paul a few
weeks ago. The order restrains the
state authorities from enforcing the
2-cent rate fixed by the last legisla-
ture and which has been in force
for is months.
In the re-establlshment of the g.
cent local rate the railroads will re-
turn practically to their former meth
DDS of handling passenger business
within the state, making reduced rates
for excursions and meetings of varl-
Gus kinds for which reduced rates
were formerly granted. They will al.
Sc provide for the sale of tickets un-
der the former credential system at
the net rate of cents per mile.
1t is also contemplated by the roads
that the restoration of conditions in
regard to passenger revenue will
eventually result in the improvement
of the service furnished

Alcohol in Smyrna.

Consul General Ernest L. Harris re-
ports that the use of alhocol in the
Turkish city of Smyrna is confined
principally to mixing wine with raki.
1t is imported from Russia, Hungary,
Italy and Germany. Russian alcohol
as a rule is purchased through COM
mission houses in Odessa. Dealers in
formerly sent large
quantities to smyrna, but now local
agents in this city make direct pur-
chases in the country of origin.
Contracts are usually made for large
lots. which are sent in various ship
ments. From smyrna, alcohol is dis
tributed throughout the interior of
Asia Minor and to the different is
lands of the Archipelago, Mitylene,
Chios, Samos. and Rrodes being the
largest consumers. The annual Smyr-
ma trade in alcohol amounts to "a
600 barrels No government or mu-
nicipal permit is required for a deal
er to sell alcohol or erect a depot.

When your stomach Is weak or
lacking in gastric juice, anything that
you eat, no difference what 1t is, will
sour on your stomach, raise the bile
and acids to cover your food like oil
on water, causing Indigestion, dys-
pepsia, stomach nervousness and
belchlng Of sour poisons, which pro-
duce foul odors, nasty taste, bilious
headache, heartburn, Intestinal grip
ing and make you an object of misery
This Is stomach trouble which can
not be overcome with ordinary diges-
tive medicines. 1t is caused by fer
mentation of your food, which will
be remedied at once by Pape's Dia-
pepsin, a preparation pleasant to take
and as harmless as candy, though It
will digest and prepare for assimila-
don into the blood all the food you
eat.
Indigestion is a result, not a cause
of your trouble. II the stomach Is
sour and unhealthy, your food be-
comes tainted, and that's what is caus-
ing the indigestion and gas on stom-
ach and other miseries. Pape's Dia-
pepson is an antacid, most powerful
digestive and thorough regulator for
weak stomachs. These triangules will
digest any kind Of food you eat and
will cleanse the stomach and intes-
tines in a natural way which makes
you feel fine five minutes afterwards.
Any good pharmacy here will sup
ply you with a case of Pape's Diapep-
sin for so cents. Just reading about
this remarkable preparation will not
help. You should go now and get a
case. Put your stomach in full health
and by tomorrow you will forget the
misery OF stomach trouble. Your
case is no different from many 9TH
ers. 1t isn't stomach nerves or ca
tarrh of the stomach or Gastritis or
dyspepsia. 1t is food rotting-food

Just makes one yawn to think about
, it! There's that extra half hours
sleep in the morning-just the time
when you-u-u-u-h-h-h (beg pardonl
need it. Fellow won't have to get uo
in a cold room at the unchris.iau
hour of 6-the idea almost makes ona
Il iver. And if one mas out a bit late
last night he can draw the bed clothes
up over his head and forget about it
for that blessed half hour.
And the girls, too; isn't it just the
dearest plan. All be able to get that
beauty sleep now. No fussing around
in the early morning TO get down to
the store by mot for us. That's
hard enough at any time, but after
dance it's just awful But the stores
will not open until 1880 o'clock now
and-say amt it fine Clarlsse?
II must be fine. for every one seems
satisfied, and as the result of agree
ment circulated by the clerks in Pen
dleton's leading stores the employers
have agreed after the first of the
month to close the stores in the
until 1880 o'clock, which
they consider is early enough for any
one. The stores affected are with but
enc or two exceptions all the cloth
ing. dry goods or department. stores
of the town. At the same time a
is on foot among the gro
GERS to remain closed until in the
instead of $50 which here
tofore has been the opening time.
The employers welcome the change
as we'll as the employees. They be-
lieve it will result in better service
from the clerks, and as the early
trade is practically nothing
they are almost a unit in heartily ap-
proving the plan.
The public too will be pleased, for
so small is the necessity for early
trading in the lines affected that the
shopping hours are practically not iii
he slightest curtailed.

Eel as Thick ms n Cat.

The aquarium now has a sea mon
ster, spotty moray. which is for
midable name for a species of eel. 1t
is eight feet long, as large in diameter
as a fat cat and resembles an enor-
nous eel, except that its head, with
a mouth like an undershot bulldog,
is crowned with a ridge of spikes. 1t
came from Bermuda. Often the mo-
ray has been taken for a sea serpent
by green fishermen, as it lives near
the surface and often lies with its
eggs and crabs, Superintendent Mo-
ran says this moray is not extraordi-
narily large, as they grow to 10 feet
and often swim with heads elevated
above the sea.-New York World.

and hams, beans and peas, bran, boots
and shoes, cordage, fish, flour, hay,
lumber. other than pitch pine, Stats,
soap, sulphate of ammonia
and mixed manure.
This act can not become operative
