MONEY IN POTATOES
SpudS Do Their Best on Well
MANFRED Glover Sod.
Disk Harrow Used Advantageously in
Preparing the SoiI-Care Should
Be Exercised That the Bugs
Do Not Get Started.
RY T n TRuFANTO

Potatoes will do their best on a
w~ellmanured, well-prepared clover
sod. The ground should be plowed
about two weeks before planting.
One of the best tools for getting the
ground into a fine filth is the disk
harrow. Double disk the ground once
or twice and after that use the spring
and spike tooth harrow.
After you have soil in proper shape
look to your seed potatoes. These
should be kept in a cool lark place so
that they will send out strong, healthy
shoots.
They should have been selected the
previous year from the hill, using only
the best potatoes from the best hills.
In digging potatoes we often find
hills that only contain three or four
small potatoes.
If We do not select from the hill seed
win tell in potatoes as we'll as in
stock, but If you have to plant small
and scabby potatoes be sure and
treat them for scab. This is easily
done. Put the potatoes in clean sacks
and soak for two hours in a solution
Of Is gallons of water and one-half
pound of formalin. 1t is important
that the sacks and barrel containing
the mixture be thoroughly clean, be-
cause disinfected seed will be rein
fected If put into dirty sacks or boxes
from which it was taken.
After o have % soil in shape
mark off your rows from 2h to . 3
feet apart, depending on the fertility
of your soil.
Harrow the ground two or three
times before the plants come up so as
to kill the weeds and maintain a dust
mulch, thus retaining moisture.
This method saves a lot Of cultiva-
ton and it is cheaper, as you can get
over a large area in a day.
After the potatoes are up set the
cultivator deep and close to the plant.
1 prefer level cultivation, as there is
nc danger Of root pruning.
Go shal1ower each time after this,
cultivate just enough to keep the
weeds down and to maintain a dust
mulch and if the weeds should get the
start of you after you have stopped
c~ultivating go through the field with a
corr knife and cut the weeds off close
to the root. By this method o do
not lose any Of the potatoes and it is
also quicker than pulling them up.
Be very careful that the bugs do not
get ahead of you, as they will soon
strip the leaves off the plants. The
best time to kill them is just as they
are Matching and it does not take much
poison to kill them at this time.
Spray for blight also. This is a
kind of insurance. 1t is claimed by
some growers that the increased
yield will pay for the work.
Many methods Of harvesting are
now used. For the large growers the
use Of the four-horse digger is prob
ably the cheapest way, but the small
growers can undoubtedly do it cheap
er by hand.

Advantages of Fall Flowing.

There are some advantages Of fall
blowing which might be mentioned.
The fall blowing gives the farmer plen-
ty of time tc do his work In the spring
of the year. He nay spend much Of
the time in repairing his fences and
o~utbuildings instead of blowing in the
field. Then, too, he is most certain to
get into his field earlier and while his
neighbor is ploUing his ground he may
be planting hit corn, and the early
crop is the one that yields the better
most years,

CHAPTER TX.
The Lights on St. Aqatha's Pier.

TIC LISnIS OFT OI' HSdtnd FICFs
On my way home through ST. Aga
tha's 1 stopped to question the two
guards. They had heard nothing, had
seen nothing. How that girl had
passed them 1 did not know. I scanned
the main building, where she and Miss
Pat had two rooms, with an interven-
ing sitting room, but all was dark.
Miss Helen HolbroOk was undeniably
a resourceful young woman of charm
and wit, and l went on to Glenarm
House with a new respect for her
cleverness.
I was abroad early the next morn
ing, ~retracing my steps through ST.
Agatha'S to the stone bench On the
bluff with a vague notion of confirming
my memory of the night by actual con
tact with visible, tangible things. The
lake twinkled in the sunlight, the sky
overhead was a faWleSs sweep of blue,
and the foliage shone from the deluge
of the early night. But in the soft mold
of the path the prints Of a woman's
shoe were unmistakable. I bent down
and examined them; l measured them
-ungraciously, i~ndefensibly, guiltily
with my hand, and rose convinced

bootmaker, and were not apt to be ex-
planned away as marking the lightly
limned step of a fairy or the gold
sandaled flight of Diana. Then 1 d.
scended to ST. Agatha's and found
Miss Pat and Helen lettering tranquil
ly in the garden.
They gave me good mOrning-Miss
Pat calm and gracious, and Helen in
the spirit of the morning itself, smil-
ing, cool, and arguing COR peace. De-
ception, as a social accomplishment,
she had undoubtedly carried far; and
l was hard put to hold up my end of
the game. 1 have practiced lying with
p~astmasters in the art-the bazaar
keepers of Cairo, horse dealers in
Moscow and rug brokers in Teheran;
but 1 dipped my colors to this amazing
girl.
I'm afraid that we are making our
selves a nuisance to you," said Miss
Pat. 81 heard the watchmen patroling
the walks last night"
Yes; it was quite feudal!" Helen
broke in. 81 felt that we were back
at least as far as the eleventh CEN
fury. The splash of water-which you
can hear when the lake is rough
must be quite like the lap of water in
a mOat. But l did not hear the clank
of arms"
NO" I observed, dryly. lima
wears blue serge and carries a gun
that would shoot clear through a cru
sader. The gardener is a S~cotchman,
and his dialect would kill a horse"
Miss Pat paused behind US to de-
hberate upOn a new species of holly
hook whose minarets rose level with
her kind, gentle eyes. Something had
been in my mind, and 1 took this op-
~portunity to speak to Helen.
why don't you avert danger and
avoid an ugly catastrophe by confess
ing to Miss Pat that your duty and
sympathy lie with your father? It
would save a lot of trouble in the
end"
The flame leaped into Helen's face
as she turned to me.
Il don't know what you mean! !
have never been spoken to by any one
SO o~utrageously!" She glanced hur-
riedly over her shoulder. My position
is lard enough; it is difficult enough,
without this. I thought you wished
to help u.s."
l stared at her; she was difting out
of my reckoning, and leading me into
uncharted seas.

object, Mr.. Donovan?"
mo, l rather like it; it's in keeping
with your variable character. You
seem prone, like Rosalind, to wood
land wandering. l dare say the other
people of the cast will appear in due
season. So far l have seen only the
Fool"
The Fool? Oh, yes; there was
Touchstone, wasn't there?"
Il believe it is admitted that there
was"
She laughed; 1 felt that we were
bound to get on better, nov that we
understood each other.
You are rather proud of your at
tainments, aren't you? l have really
read the play, Mr.. Donovan; 1 have
even seen it acted"
Il did not mean to reflect on your
intelligence, which is acute enough; or
on your attainments, which are suf-
f~icient; or on your experience of life,
We'll spoken! I really believe that
am liking you better all the time,
Mr.. Donovan"
My heart is swollen with gratitude.
You heard my talk with your father at
his cottage last night. And then you
flew back to Miss Pat and played the
~hypocrite with the artlessness of Rosa
lind-the real Rosafind."
Did 1? Then I'm as clever as 1 am
wicked. You, no doubt, are as wise as
you are good"
n folded her ans with a quick
movement, the better, I thought, to
pVnTncc cotiCfootion With hor ouuo
share of the talk; then her manner
changed abruptly. She rested her
hands on the back of the bench and
bent toward me.
My father dea very generously
with you. You were an intruder. He
was we'll within his rights in capturing
you. And. more than that. you drew
to our place some enemies of your
w who may yet do us grave injury"
They were no enemies of mine!
Didn't you hear me debating that mat
ter with our father? They were his
enemies and they bounced on me by
mistake. It's not their fault that they
didn't kill met"
That's a likely story. That little
creek is the quietest place in the
world"
How do you know?" I demanded,
bending closer toward her.
Because my father tells me so!

He wanted a place to hide when
the cities became too hot for him. 1
advise you, Miss Holbrook, in view of
all that has happened, and if you have
any sense of decency left, to keep
away from there"
And l suggest to you, Mr.. Donovan,
that your devotion to my aunt does
not require you to pursue my father.
You do we'll to remember that a stran-
ger thrusting himself into the affairs
of a family he does not know puts him.
self in a very bad light"
Il am not asking your admiration,
Miss Holbrook."
You may save yourself the trou-
ble!" she flashed; and then laughed
out merrily. Let US not be so alb
surd! We are Quarreling like two
school children W an apple. It's
really a pleasure to meet you in this
unconventional fashion, but we must
be amiable. Our affairs will not be
settled by words am sure of that. 1
III beg of you, the next time you
come forth at night, to wear your
oak and dagger. The stage setting is
fair enough; n the players should
dress their parts becomingly. l am
