A Little Awkward.

"Nearsightedness must be very en-
barrassing at times" remarked a
Brooklyn resident to an acquaintance
thus afflicted. 1.-THE other morning,
for example, a man addressed me on
a crowded bridge trolley, and In the
course of conversation he roundly
abused a chap whose political and
business methods be disliked equally.
ln fact he became acutely personal
In his denunciation.
Before he left the car he was In
formed by a friend near him that l
was the man he had been abusing. II
didn't worry me at all, but 1t must
have been bit disconcerting for him,

NECESSITY OF
GOOD CROPS
Farmer Is In Better Position to
Stand Poor Yield Than Manu-.
facturer, Banker and
Railroad Man.
(By g. h. pERKINs.)

NY W. ". fEhhlNS.J
Who is most interested in q good
crop and sure crop? The farmer.
the manufacturer, the railroad man,
merchant, or the banker? The more
] study the problem the more It looks
as though the farmer is the best
fixed to sta.d a poor crop, and that
1t hurts the others more. The farmer
loses less sleep over 1t than any of
the others and proportlonately fewer
farmers fall than any Of the other
lines OF business mentioned In a time
of poor crops. The farmer can get
his living from the farm, can reduce
expenses and economic in way
that the others cannot. From this II
is plain that 1t is Of vital interest to
all that crops be sure thing for
each year. and each of these indus.
tries which has really grown out OF
the farm ought to put forth their best
effort to see that the farmer handles
his farm according to the best that
we know Of farming.

TOPPING COTTON DON'T PAY
Practise Still Following In Many
Places Despite Fact II Has Been
Shown to Be Erroneous.

The practise of topping cotton is
still followed in many places in spite
OF the fact that 1t has been shown
time after time that 1t does not pay,
except in very rare cases. Cotton,
says an exchange. is topped in order
to check the growth of the leafy up.
per portion Of the plant, and in that
way assist in the development OF bolls
on the lower parts Of the stalk.
u topping gave the desired results
1t would be good thing, but unfor.
tunately 1t does not. In many cases
1t causes a renewal Of the growth
Of the leafy part Of the plant in the
very place where 1t would do the
most harm by shading the bolls In
the middle Of the stalk. Actual field
tests Of topping have failed to show
any material benefit in proportion to
the labor involved. In many cases
the yield has been actually lessened
by topping.

when they may be piled up and the
pallets used again.
In operating. the machine Is placed
In position on the pallet with the core
In place. The mortar is placed In

The tamping process must begin

wise the tile will be too porous. Add
mortar and lamp down, and so on
until the mold is filled. Now simply
draw out the core and unlock the
sides and fold back from the tile
leaving 1t upon the pallet to dry for
48 hours.
The tile thus made are IS inches
long, requiring but II to the rod. and
are octagon in shape which Is so
planned that they may be easily laid.
A round tile must be very carefully
bedded. otherwise they will get out
OF line. and for the inexperienced

worker this is hard matter. A tile
made in the octagon design has fiat
iurface. and thus all you have to
10 Is to make the bottom Of the
rench smooth and insure the tile re-.
naming In line.
The cost Of this design over a
'ound tile is but very little, and as 1t
las many advantages. it should ap.
zeal to the inexperienced worker as
ne cannot help but secure correct and
satisfactory results.
While the tile may be made in
ihorter lengths. 1t Is merely waste
Of labor as the 18-inch lengths are
much quicker laid. and the tile are
porous SO the joints need not be as
close as with vitrified clay.
Another great advantage of con.
crete tile Is that each tile is perfect,
While clay tile are very apt to draw
out Of shape in burning. and thus
make trouble when laying them.

Storing Potatoes in the Cellar.

Some authorities claim that a dry,
cool cellar is best for keeping pota.
toes. This has not been my expert.
ence, says a well.known potato grow.
err. A dry cellar will cause shrlnkage,
while damp cool cellar will keep
them as warm and hard as when dug,
with but very little waste from
shrinkage.
When storing potatoes In the fall
the cellar should be cooled down as
fast as possible until 1t is from 30 to
40 above zero. This can be fastened
by opening the doors nights when the
temperature outside is lower than In
the cellar. and closing In the morning
until the temperature in the cellar is
about &c degrees above.

The Sheep as Fertilizers.

The sheep is the fertilizing friend
OF the farmer. It returns to the soil
80 per cent. Of what 1t consumes In
the way OF fertility; It will eat what
other animals will not touch; It is q
browser and bites close; II will chew
weeds and waste right down to the
roots and In new country will eat of
young shrub as fast as 1t makes it's
appearance.
All the while It is engaged in this
good work Of fertilizing the land and
putting into good condition to yield
Its Increase the sheep Is piling on
wool and making mutton out Of the
weeds and rubbish, and thereby re.
turning to the farmer a little on each
hand.
