The Flsst Potatoes in Scotland.

1t is claimed by correspondent
that the first person to grow potatoes
in the open field in Scotland was
Thomas Prentice, day laborer in the
West Barony of the parish in Glas-
gov, near Chapel Green; that was in
the year 1928.
1t was about four years after that
date that he (Prentice) entered the
market with them and was very sue
cessful with his experiment. as he
made $1,500 out of it, which he sank
in double interest, and died at Edin-
burgh in 1852 Robert Graham did
much to bring the culture of the po-
tato to perfection. He was the in
troducer of the way of preparing the
land for it. The last of the male

Returning to his native town some

PICTURE OF PARTRIDGE LIFE
Little Birds Understood Their Moth

Her at Once.

A few days ago while walking along
deep ditch beside a long disused
road in soft sand and with noiseless
step ! came TO sort of screen of
grapevine peered through and saw
a very attractive spectacle. There
was a partridge and more than a
dozen little ones something like a
third grown. The mother was crouch
ed in the warm sand with one wing
spread and with her bill was preening
her feathers while two little birds
crept under the stiffened wing as if

wriggling in the sand, as happy as a

quickly the scene changed. But a
few feet back of the mother there lay

exceptions, ran to the sides of the

lichens. There was not another mo

birds which nestled under her were
as still as if they had been frozen
When l took my eyes off that limb for
an instant and then looked again it
was hard to tell the birds from the
wood. Nothing more happened and in
a minute the mother gave quite diff
ferent note and the little quail came
out again and resumed their sports

was based on experiments carried
on at Gooding Several combination

While the above given pasture will

ia will not enrich it materially. In
order to increase it's fertility we mus

From the first year alfalfa flour
ishes in our climate as it has the
power to extract from the air thoes
elements which are deficient in the
soil, which are nitrogen and a great
deal of sunshine. For the best de-
velcpment of this plant the soil shou
be warm and moderately dry, i. e.
not constantly soaked with water
For sowing have the seed bed well
pulverized and compact sa that the
earth will fit closely around each
seed, eslect that of home production
in place of foreign as in this way
abe plants are at once acclimated.
