SOIL FOR POTATOES.
Characteristics of the Ground Best
Adapted to the Tuner.

The success of the potato crop de-
Eends very much upon the texture of
the soil in which the potatoes are
planted. 1t is a fact well understood
by many farmers that there are many
soils on which potatoes do not do
well A too heavy, compact clay does
not permit the potatoes to develop
to advantage. 1t may be, too, that
in such a soil the organisms that elab-
crate food do not have the same op-
rortunity to secure air and therefore
the carbon with which to work.
On the other hand, too loamy soil.
a soil with too much of humus, does
not give a large enough tuber, as re-
lated to the top. The best soils seem
to be these that have been created
by the southwark movement of the
great glaciers, which ground to atoms
the stones taken from northern lati-
tudes and made a soil that was just
loose enough to permit the ab to work
downward without drying out the
fllms of moisture surrounding the soil
particles. At the same time such a

,he roots of the potatoes.
a good potato soil is frequently in
clned to rockiness, the rocks being
the coarser remains of the glaciers
that helred TO make the soil. That
the soil has an enormous influence on
the successful growing of potatoes is
abundantly proven by the way in
which the crop succeeds in spots.
Thus, in Wisconsin, there is a section
of country near the middle Of the
state, wedgeshaped piece. on which
wonderful yields of potatoes have
been obtained even in years when
the crop generally was a failure.

WENT HIM MANY BETTER.
Mr.. Newrich's Visiting Card Left
Friend in the Shade

Mr.. Newrich, the dust contractor,
having made a fortune, part of which
he had invested in house property in
the east of London, wished to rise,
like a Phoenix, from his ashes into
some sort of society. His golden key,
applied to the Golfers of an impecuni-
GUS aristorcrat, opened the way.
His new friend, among other things,
advised him that visiting cards were a
necessity. and, as a guide to drawing
one up ready for the printer, handed
him one of his own, which read, "Har-
old De We're, Iona House, Portsmouth
Square, W."
Two days later, as De We're was sit

BUILDING WIRE FENCES.
How One Man Can Put It Up and
Stretch 1t Himself.

One man can build a wire fence I'M
assisted if he has chance to drive
a horse with a pair of front wheels
near to the fence. Put an iron rod
about two feet long, or a crowbar,
through the holes in the wire reel and
let it 20 down in the hole where the
rocker bolt goes through the axle.
Fasten one end of the wire to
post or tree where you wish to start
from, then drive the horse as near to
the posts as convenient, and in most
cases you need not stop, unless the
wire catches, until you have run out
a whole reel. Then fasten the wire
around the axle, tie a rope about ten
feet from the axle and bring it around
Il post or tree. Start the horse, and
when you get hard strain on the
wire fasten the rope TO hold 1t. You
will need a steady horse, as one that
does not pull steadily is liable TO
break the wire.
After the wire is stretched, saws
rope start with hammer and staples
where you first fastened Il. Lift it Il
feet or more from the ground, and go
along to each post and drive your
staple about half way in until you
reach the end. If the posts are not
on a straight line you may have to
siacken the wire, otherwise you may
have to draw a strain on it the second
time. Start again at the further end
and drive tho staples in tight
In putting up the next two wires
proceed in the same way and spread
them apart the length of your hammer
handle on each post and you will have
4 fence that no COW can get through
