going home the other night when a
footpad shot at him, and the ball hit
a latchkey in Samuels' vest pocket,
and his life was saved. So you see
what good a latchkey is"
'Indeedl If Samuels had been
going home at a reasonable hour he
wouldn't have met any footpad;

had it not been for that key she

THE JAPANESE PRINTER.
He Has Troubles of His Own In His
Composing Room.

If the typesetters Of the western
world have their troubles they are
as nothing compared with those of
the japanese composing room.
The japanese, like their breth-
rem. the Chinese, employ written
language-what might be called a
literary dialect-that is quite dif-
ferent from the colloquial tongue.
In other words, they do not, as we,
write as they speak. This proceed
ing requires the printing of their
journals in two languages. the "ka-
ma" and the square characters serv-
ing as a key to the other. These
square characters are modelled on
Chinese ideographs, tumble OF
geometric figures, crosses, etc., pre-
senting a picturesque zigzag effest.
There are 1000 to 5000 of these
ideographs in everyday use. The
compositor must therefore be some
thing of scholar, in the oriental
sense, to be able to recognize the
characters at sight. In order to
facilitate his task as much as pos
sible the arrangement of his work
room is something like this:
The compositor seats himself at
a little table, upon which are spread
forty-seven Kama characters. As
he receives copy he cuts it into
small strips, handing each strip to a
boy. This boy marches along the
room until he bas finally been able
to collect from q number Of cases
arranged in flss down the room the
different ideographs desired. About
six OF seven boys are thus employed
in the average japanese composing
room running hither and thithsr.
As they 60 their rounds in search
Of the ideographs they keep up a
dirgelike chant, which would Ger
tainly be very trying to the nerves
Of any but an oriental.
When the boys have collected all
their ideographs they place them
before the compositor, who then
has recourse to pair of goggles in
order to decipher the characters,
fish out the corresponding types in
the Kama character and finally set
up the whole for proving. The
proofs are sung aloud by one reader
to another, thus adding to the con-
fusion of weird sounds already
,eigning In the room.-New York

SWEET POTATO KEEPING.

.Messrs. Editors: Professor Massey
has given us another description of
his potato house. By your permits
sion | will comment a little on his
idea and give an expression of my
own.
Professor Massey's idea may be
very good from North Carolina north
or for that matter, anywhere, but
for poor people it is too expensive,
especially for this country.
A single-walled house with the
ground for floor), either boxed or
weather-boarded, 10 feet wide and
as long as will take to hold the crop
to be stored. would be all right.
Putting potatoes in center Of the
house, not letting them touch the
wall, it will not take much cotton
seed or cottonseed bulls to keep them
from freezing. If potatoes are left
uncovered for few days when first
put in house, they will dry out all
right VIM. McATEE.

gus disease present. Repeat this
spraying in early spring just before
the buds begin to swell. Never APP
ply this wash except when the tree
is perfectly dormant, as it will injure
the growing trees. This solution may
be bought ready for use, or it may
be made at home.
AS soon as the blooms begin to fall
next spring spray with Bordeaux
-arsenate of lead mixture.
The Bordeaux mixture will kill the
fungus disease, while the arsenate Of
lead kills the curculio which is the
parent of the common peach worm.
Repeat these sprayings at intervals of
weeks up until about or weeks
before time of ripening. The arsen-
ate of lead is not necessary in the
later sprayings as the curculio is not
present later in the season.
Clean out all trash, weeds, etc.,
and cultivate the orchard next spring
but cultivate shallow. If the ground
is poor a crop of cowpeas should be
grown on the land next summer. In
cultivating don't cultivate nearer
than feet of the trees with a pillow.
Keep this strip clean of weeds with
hoe.

A GOOD POTATO CELLAR.

Messrs. Editors: l am only one
horse farmer, in southern Mississippi,
but as my trials with SO to 10 BUSH
els of sweet potatoes have proven
safe, why will not 100 to 200 do the
same?
| have a cellar under my house in
which l store my potatoes. This
cellar is about feet deep, feet
wide and s feet long. From the floor
in my house to the ground have it
walled up tight and as the stairway
extends out about 6 feet in front of
the cellar, l have two closed shutters
to the room; one at the first entrance
and one at the foot Of the stairway.
l don't think that the cost Of

sound and solid for IL months. To
verify this, the latter part of Sep
TENDER last I walked into my cellar
and there sat sack Of seed potatoes
that had been saved for some one
who had failed to call for them, and
on examination I found them sound

this potato house and l would not be

(Answer by Prof. l.. A. NivenD

(Answer by Prof. L. A. Niven.)
1t is very probable that your peach
trees are infested with San Jose
scale, fungus diseases, etc, as a neg
lected orchard is a fine harboring
place for insects and fungus dis
eases which attack the tree and fruit.
Any Of these trees that have a
good. sound trunk may be brought
into fruiting by proper pruning. But
It will be dangerous to the tree to
prune out, the first year, all wood
that should come out. Two or three
years will be necessary to do this, as
the pruning must be done gradually.
During this winter cut out all water
sprouts at the base OF the trees, all
OF the dead limbs, and about half
OF the unnecessary living limbs. Keep
in mind that no two branches Of any
size should be allowed to touch, and
that the tree should have a compar-
atively open center. During the sec
ond winter cut out all the remain
ing unnecessary living branches.
Very few definite rules for pruning
can be given. However, all dead
wood should be cut out, and when
ever two branches touch cut out the
poorer one. Keep the tree so pruned
that sunshine may touch all portions
of II at some time during the day.
When any branch Is cut off, cut 1t
of smoothly with the trunk OF the
tree or branch from which IL came.
II the branch removed is more than
one-half inch in diameter paint the
wound with paint. This viii help to
keep out the fungus diseases which
cause decay. Cut out all dead trees,
dead limbs. and trees with unsound
trunks. and burn them. BY burning
you will destroy millions of harmful
insects and fungus diseases.
But your time will be wasted In
trying to reclaim this old orchard I'M
less you spray IL thoroughly. After
the winter pruning Is done, spray
the trees with lime-sulphur wash.
This will kill any scale insect or fun
