lor, who was drowned while canoeing

that name that his drowning was first
announced. Yesterday Taylor's father,

How TO Sow Fine Seeds.

Editor Social Corner: After the 18th
of May it is time to plant flower seeds
of tender ANIMALS in the open ground.
Theirs is always more or less difficulty
in sowing fine seeds like petunia and
poppy by hand As an amateur l have
found that flower seeds put into an
old pepper box can be shaken out and
planted more evenly than In any other
way. No attempt should be made to
cover the seed with dirt. Take the hoe
or troweI and press the seed into the
soil; and the soil having been damp
ened before commencing operations,
the seeds will sprout in a few days
If the weather is favorable. 1yhe larger
seeds Of four oclocks and nasturtiums
may be put in now in good mellow soil
and they will come right forward.
These will have to be transplanted lat
er. and. like the balsans, do better be-
cause of the change. The canary bird
flower is a little climber which ought
to be more popular. Dahlias may be
grown from seeds planted in the open
ground after the 18th. From seed SOW
ing to bloom is about seven weeks.
Amateur gardeners will find much
pleasure in them.

The Successful Spuds.

Editor Social Corner: 1--WE raise in
this country something over three
hundred million bushels of white, or
Irish, potatoes every year." remarked
a farmer-looking party, and their av-
eraSe value is about fifty cents a
buShel. In addition, we raise about
forty-two million bushels, of sweet
potatoes. worth twenty million dollars.
Some people think the white potato
was called Irish because the potatoes
came from Ireland, but that is not
'the reason. They are called Irish be-
cause the Irish are SO fond of them
as it were. Just where the original
potato came from is not known but
it was first known to Europeans after
the discovery of America. How it
got to the western continent is not
recorded that j know of. 1t Is believed
to have got its start from Chilli or
Mexico. 1t came to Ireland from Viz
ginia in 1866 and Sir Francis Drake
introduced it into England in 1885. At
first the potato was not of great value
as a food vegetable, but Sir Walter
Raleigh developed il and populariZed
it 50 in Ireland that its use spread to
England, where it became known as
the Irish potato. The first potatoes
that reached Europe were sent to
Spain from Peru and were called ''ba-
so-called. The world couldn't get along
very we'll now without the potato, and
there are potato farmers who have
made fortunes on it's production alone.
Some of the greatest, if not the great
est, potato farms in the world are in
the irrigated districts of Colorado.

The farmer who insures his own
property goes round with a subscrip-
ton paper after the lightning has
struck.
Some of the city lawns look as if
Peter TumbIedown had full charge of
them and they couldn't look worse.
Sarah says the farmer who jaws
because his dinner fails to be ready
once in a month, shows poor apprecia-
ton of the 90 times he had it on time
Cy Cymbal says times would be bet

people ciphering up produce instead
of growing it.
The we'll narrowed lot is ali right;
but the persistently narrowed family
produces nothing but discords.
Where the odor of vegetables comes
strong from the cellar door fevers are
likely to rage if they do not have a
care. One cleanup is cheaper than
ten doctors visits.
The pup that chews up the doormat
is not as profitable as a lamb frisking
on the green hills.
A honeysuckle near the farmers door
pays in beauty and fragrance. A balm
in the air is sometimes as satisfac-
tory as nickel in the hand.
Nance Nearman says the man who
sells a calf for dollar when few
days old was not cut out for a specu-
lator
Bill Bangs says cattle do not know
what to make of a master who is al
ways yawping at 'em, and he don't,

The farmer who makes any old time

The man who cuts his horse with a

A great many dumb animals live in

If an old hen has any lay in her
a feed of cut clover and an ounce of

Do not work your land by the other
