three feet Where ten or more acres
are grown a potato planter will soon
pay for itself. Where the acreage is
smaller than this two or three neigh
bors can often combine to purchase
such machine.
Where hand planting is practiced
the rows should be opened with q
stirring pillow to a depth of four to six
inches. The practice of dropping the
tubers in cultivator track and cover
ing them lightly is responsible for
many of the low yields. Potatoes
send up strong sprout that is able
to penetrate six inches of soil easily,
and the roots need to be well down i'm
the moist earth. After the tubers are
dropped the stirring pillow may again
be brought into use to cover them, or
q disk cultivator may be used. The
main thing is to get them covered
deeply. After covering two or three
borrowings should be given to level the
ground and kill any sprouting weeds.
The cut tubers should be dropped
from twelve to sixteen inches apart,
one in a place. The amount of seed
to use per acre will depend on the
price. If seed potatoes are not too eX-
pensive it pays to be liberal with them.
Where medium sized potatoes are cut
into quarters and dropped every fif-
teen inches in rows three and one-half
feet apart twelve to fifteen bushels
per acre will be needed
On western farms, where land is
cheap and labor scarce, potatoes are
often planted in rows both ways. This
can be readily done by running a
planter wire across the field and drop
ping a piece of potato at each button
on the wire. The wire is moved at
each end as in planting corn. When
planted in this way half a tuber in
stead of a quarter should be dropped
in place. Such a plan will not give

There being apparently nothing doing,
so to speak, Mr.. DENLY thought to
slip quietly away from the hot and
dusty city to a country place where
his sister was stopping and spend the
night. So he hied himself to the sta
ton. In the meantime, however,
Speaker Cannon of the house got wind
of the congressman's intentions and
sent an assistant sergeant-at-arms
post haste after the Michigan repre-
sentative, fearing lest he be needed
ere he returned.
The sergeant reached the station
ahead of the train, and Mr.. DENLY was
taken into custody" The latter's
experience was noised about, and as
a result he often found himself the
subject of discussion of his joking col
leagues.
The house, while awiting the re-

to devote to other needed legislation,

SANITATION OF THE STATE FAIR
GROUNDS.

The State Fair officials are taking
every precaution to protect the exhibt'
tors of live stock at the 1909 meeting
which opens Sept. 2. They have made
arrangements for the complete santa
ton of the live stock and in fact, the
entire show buildings and grounds
during the Fair time.
Before any animals are brought
into their quarters, all stables, barns.
ETC., will be thoroughly cleaned of any
refuse that may have accumulated
there, and then they will be thorough
ly and completely disinfected so as tn
prevent any possibility OF disease
being acquired from the condition OF
the grounds before the live stock ar
rives.
During the entire time Of the Fair
a constant attendance of a corps or
expert assistants will be continuously
disinfecting all the live stock and
buildings, so that it will prevent any
possible outbreak of contagious dis
eases while on the grounds.
Arrangements will be made for par
ties who wish to have their stock
sprayed before entering the grounds
and the fact that Messrs. Parke, Da-
Wis & Company will have this matter
in charge, and will use the disinfect-
ant Kreso for the purpose, is sufficient
to know that it will be done properly
and effectively
This firm has taken care of over
200 large expositions of this descrip-
ton, and by using Kreso have pre-
vented any outbreak of disease; this
is certainly a safeguard against any
such troubles that otherwise might
arise

The truant squad of the Metropoli-
tan police of Detroit are the men who
work in conjunction with Judge Rohn-

At the head of a dozen truant men is
Lieutenant Breault, an old and expert
enced man in the handling of way
ward lads and girls. 1t is not to be
thought that the juvenile court is with
out its list Of hayward girls.
The Judge has a number of men and
women probation officers under his
direction to look after the charges who
are placed upon probation by him.
The women officers do especially good
work in the cases of girls who have
gone astray through the temptations
of big city, and whom the judge
does not want to send to the Adrian
Industrial institution. Temporarily
the courts feminine charges are often
committed to the House of the Good
Shepherd, a Catholic home, or the
Florence Crittenden Home, Protes-
tant shelter. The court uses these In.
stitutions for girls whom he does not
wish to send to Adrian, just as he
uses the d'Arcambal Home for the
boys who do not go to Lansing.

time the Judge sees fit. Friday is con-
sumed in investigating and trying new

a hundred boys and girls who are on
probation report to the court with
signed cards from their teachers,
and often notes from their parents.
At all sessions of the court the truant
officers are in attendance.
Lads who are charged with serious
offenses are never locked up in the
city jails with hardened criminals, but
are placed in a specially provided de-
tention room in the county building.
Here they are fed and kept until the
first session of the court, when their
cases are disposed of. In especially
urgent cases a spe cial session is held
by the Judge after his duties on the
circuit bench are through. The deten'
ton room is absolutely necessary III
the cases of lads who persist in run
ming away from home and staying out
upon the streets.
The d'Arcambal farm, or home,
which is situated just over the bound
airy line Of Wayne county, in Oakland
county, is presided over by Homer T.
Lane, an eminent authority on the
handling of lads in the adolescent
period. 1t is but half hours ride on
the interurban line from Detroit, and
near Pennington. Mr.. Lane has es-
tablished his boy population into what
is known as the Ford republic, a boy
state, entirely run and managed by
lads. The system inaugurated is the
only one of its kind in the world and
has attracted great attention from
men in all parts of the country.
The farm is composed of seventy-five
acres, and the average number OF the
little street Arabs there is fifty. The
population is a floating one, drawn
from the streets Of Detroit and vicin-
ity of the metropolis of Michigan.
They have a regular election, the
officers wearing uniform caps and
big brass badges. The population
arises at o'clock in the morning and
puts in it's day at school and at work
on the big farm. The laborers are
paid in the currency of the state,
which can be changed into the coin OF
Uncle Sam upon their return to the
city. Everything is done by the little

Some Humorous Situations Crop Out
During Tariff Contest
Newspapers daily for the past four
months have been filed with accounts
of the vigorous struggle that has been
going on in Washington in the effort,
on the part of the legislators, to frame
up and act upon a suitable tariff bill.
Long and vigorous have been the de-
bates, and at times sharp words have
passed between congressman in their
efforts to carry out the legislation in
way which they thought was right.
Situations numerous, however occur
red which took on a humorous turn,
and several of these have fallen to
the lot of Michigan representatives.
Perhaps the one of most recent date
took place the other day and of which
Congressman DENLY was the butt. 1t
burned out to be almost a joke, al
though the congressman's friends say
he was bit "huffy" at first.
1t was at a time when the tariff bill
was in the hands of the house and
senate conference committee. 1t was
known they had practically agreed on

conducted along this line quarters
gave yield of seven bushels to the
acre more than two eye pieces and fif-
teen bushels more than one eye pieces
The seed potatoes should be kept in
a dark place until planting time to
keep them from sprouting as much as
possible. New sprouts will grow if
the old ones are broken off, but they
will not be as strong. If the seed Is
at all scabby it should be treated be-
fore planting. This is done by soak
ing the tubers for two hours in q solu-
ton of one pound of formalin to forty
gallons Of water. Afterward the po-
tatoes should be spread out to dry
and then cut. The cutting should not
be done until just before planting, as
otherwise they will shrivel and lose
some of their vitality. The plan Of
getting the seed potatoes cut several
weeks or even days before planting Is
not to be commended. Even If the seed
thus prepared is kept in dark cellar
the starchy part of the tuber is GER
tain to lose much of its freshness, ami
the vitality Of the seed may be i'm
paired.
Planting.
Early potatoes should be planted as
soon as the ground can be worked.
The later varieties, which comprise
the bulk Of the crop, should be planted
about corn planting time or a little
later. In the corn belt it is most con-
venient to mark off the rows with the
corn planter. Where land is high and
It is desired to work it to its fullest
capacity the rows may be as close as

crop be made TO yield as
much as possible. With the right kind
of care yields of 200 to 500 bushels to
the acre can be obtained, making this
one of the most profitable crops that
can be grown. Even with the most
careless treatment the tuber frequent
ly yields most generously.
The potato is very particular in its
soil requirements. A rich sandy loan
is the best soil. Not all farms have
such a soil, but almost any soil can be
so prepared as to make fairly good
potato patch. Two things are essen
tial, mellowness and plenty Of mois-
ture. Clay is too heavy. and sand dries
out too rapidly. Soils which contain
too much clay or too much sand can
be greatly improved for the production
of potatoes by the addition of humus.
The ideal way to prepare field for
potatoes is to seed it to clover for at
least year, manure 1t heavily, pillow
it up and plant it to corn. In the fall
the corn can be cut for silage or fod-
der, so that it can be plowed before
winter. The blowing should be fairly
deep. Two diskings and a narrowing
or two the following spring make an
ideal seed bed for potatoes.
Potatoes are not raised from seed,
but from the swollen underground
stems that we call tubers or potatoes.
Any piece of q tuber that contains an
"eye" will grow and produce more of
l.; A 70 vii n
piece of a tuber is really not new
plant, but part Of the old one. If out
side conditions are the same the plant
will be the same and produce the same
kind of a crop. There is much less
tendency to vary in plants propagated
in this way than in those raised from
seed.
Large Versus Small Potatoes.
Because Of the fact that the potato
is not a seed il has been claimed that
small potatoes would produce just as
good crops as large ones. Growers
often sort out and plant the tubers
that are too small for market. The
outcome of four or five years of such
selection almost always means a de
creased yield. If the potatoes planted
were small only because they did not
have chance to develop they would
produce nearly as good results as lar
ger ones from the same hill. If, how
ever, they were small because they
came from hill of tubers all of which
were naturally small they would pro-
duce mostly small potatoes like them
selves. For this reason it is not safe
to plant the small tubers. Another i'm
portant point is that there is not
enough food material in a small po-
tato to give the sprout the kind of a
start that it needs to produce good
yield. 1t is the stocky, vigorous hills
that are full of large potatoes when
digging time comes. The start the
plant gets while it is first making its
way to the surface of the ground
largely determines the vigor with
which it will continue to grow through
out the season.
The experience of most potato grow.
ers is that it is best to plant medium
sized tubers, about the size of hens
egg or larger, cutting each one into
four pieces. In experiments that were

The embroidery starts from the four
corners and is worked inward, forming
two very handsome ends. In the CEN

Burlap and craftsman's canvas are
much used for cushion covers, and
really beautiful effects may be brought
out with very little effort. A design,
conventional or otherwise, cut from

showing at the expense of little time
or trouble. Another good design equal

drawn %diagonally across the pillow and
worked with mercerized thread in
natural colorings.
