INCREASE CROP OF POTATOES
Experiment Demonstrates Spraying Is Useful and ProfitabIe-Bordeaux
 Mixture Is Used.
Ry R. G. wEArHERsroNE.)

(By R. G. WEATHERSTONE.)
 For five consecutive years of test ing potato spraying has proven each year a useful and profitable practice with me.
 The test of three seasons ago, was in my part of the state the tleast fa- vorable of any of the five for the de- velopment of the principle potato dis ease, late blight and rot, yet even in that year the test showed good re- turns for the money expended and the labor applied
 The results for five years on sprayed and unsprayed fields show an average gain of 90 bushels per acre on the sprayed field, which this sea- son is worth $72.0O in the retail mar ket at home. The cost of spraying on an average was $2.S4 each year.
 Any farmer can test these figures by planting one acre of ground for two or three years, so as to allow for the seasons that late blight and rot are less prevalent.
 The whole acre should receive the same attention, as to work and fertil- sprayed anywhere from two to five times. The unsprayed must also be kept free from bugs to warrant a fair test.
 As the average expense of spraying per acre for the five years test is only $2.S4, which includes all material and labor to do the work, 1t ought to con vince every grower that potatoes are much better paying crop, when spraying is. thoroughly and scientifi- cally practiced.
 The common bordeaux mixture is the only remedy used, except the pois- on for bugs that must be used both on the sprayed and unsprayed field.

field. where the Ioose-jointed pipe is to be located.
 Mix half a bushel of cement with three bushels of gravel. Be sure there are no streaks in it when mixed. then add enough water to make a rather thin paste. Mix thoroughly again, and, after placing a layer of stone in the bottom of the pit, throw in the concrete and level of. Let stand until the next morning and place the box an equal distance from each bank of the pit. Cut holes in each end of box for inlet and outlet pipes, and place these pipes in position.
 Put in a layer of stone around the outside of the box, and then a layer of mixed concrete, mixed as before. Alternate stone and concrete until the top of the box is reached, the last layer being concrete. so that 1t may be choked of level with the top of the box. Put the stone back from the box and use spade or shingle as in the spring, so that the inside may be smooth. The top may be covered with plank or a concrete slab. The latter costs no more and Is permanent. To make this slab make a box the size of the outside of the tank and four inches deep. Put in about one inch in depth of concrete, made as before; lay in old pipe or old iron of any kind about eight inches apart and extend ing nearly across the box; then i'll up with concrete and stroke oil level with the edge of the box.
 After the concrete is thoroughly dry remove the box from the pit, wet the inside walls and floor, mix some clear cement and water to the consistency of batter, and. with a trowel, smooth up the inside with this mortar; then take an old whitewash brush and put on a wash made of clear cement and water about like thin cream. This will make the inside smooth and wa ter-tight. Place the cover on, cover 1t up, connect to the house plumbing and the loose-jointed pipe in the 12- inch ditch to the overflow pipe; cover all and allow the sewage from all parts of the home to flow in.
 Do not add disinfectants; they will stop the action that is so necessary to success. This tank will not have to be cleaned, as all solid matter is de- stroyed except the mineral portion, which is so small in farm sewage that it would not amount to one-haf inch in depth in a year.

What do you think of the man whom you see driving a horse with his tail docked to seven inches, per fectly helpless against the attack of the flies during the hot days?
 There is a great deal of humanity in axle grease.
 Have you ever noticed that when you turn your horse out of the stable early in the morning the first thing he does is go straight to the watering trough?
 Contrary to the general belief it does not hurt horse to give him wa ter in quantities even when he is very hot, provided the water is not very cold.

Turkey Breeding.

The turkey crop matched previouA to June 1 should attain good growth by the last of November, the cock birds reaching ten or twelve pounds.
 The turkey Is not fully matured un- til two years of age, and is in his prime at three years, and nearly as good at four years old. It Is therefore a mistake osell oil all the older birds and retain the young ones for breeding purposes.
 Young turkeys are of delicate na- ture until they are fully feathered and have thrown out the red on their heads, which usually occurs at about three months of age. After that they are hardy, and may be allowed unlim- tied range at all times.

A naval officer, who has seen consid- erable service in South American wa ters, once brought home two parrots, one of which he gave to the house maid and the other to the cook.
 For a long time there ensued ami mated discussions as to the merits of their respective birds. Finally. the housemaid said:
 Your parrot may be better talker than mine, though I don't believe 1t. :" Then, with an air of presenting the final clinching argument in her own favor, she added: Besides, you'll have to admit that mine has the most beautiful foliage. ge."-Lippincott's.

For Other Reasons.

The absence of witnesses robs the court of appeals of many pleasant in- terludes, but the lords of justices oc- casionally supply comic relief. A for mer president of the court of appeals, delivering a judgment of portentous length, paused for moment. The judge on his right promptly snapped out, 'T agree" But you have not yet heard my reasons" said the president, with a deprecating smile. The lord justice bowed an apology and listened resignedly for another 20 minutes. When the close really came he had his revenge. Notwithstanding, I still agree" was the form in which he ex- pressed concurrence.-London Chron- icle

HER PROPOSAL
By SUsANNE GLENN

The office of the Raymond Broth CTS plant was insufferably hot for the first of July And the chief account ants desk stood in the hottest cor ner.
 His thin fingers trembled a little and his pale face flushed as he hast ened to join the trim little stenog- Fapher who waited for him beside her table.
 I'm very sorry, but you will have to excuse me tonight" he said. T. l have some work that must be flu ished."
 Alice Kilborne looked at him with critical tenderness.
 You are not nt to work-at all" che declared with a cheerfulness that did not conceal her anxiety. You must not work over hours this warm weather. Come home. like a good boyl"
 Richard Fitzgerald clutched his self one knew how he longed for this girls tender solicitude. And yet something in her manner warned him that she did know, and that she was puzzled and wounded by his silence.
 -Oh. very we'll" he said quietly. T don't feel just up to night work. for . fact"
 At his own desk he put away his papers saying over and over to him self: I've got to make her under stand. poor little girl. And I'd better do 1t nowi"
 No refreshing breeze greeted them as they emerged from the great build ing, only the oppressive heat reflect cd from pavement and brick walls Al he wondered miserably how to carry out his determination, Fate played into his hand.
 Why" said Alice wonderingly. -did you see that woman who just passed us? It looked like Sadie Waite"
 'It is Saide-she Is working down in the silk mills" answered F1tzger- ald grimly They have been having trouble"

KEEP POULTRY HOUSES CLEAN
Those Absolutely Free of Lice and Mites Is Happy Exception and
 Not the General Rule.

The poultry house absolutely free of lice and mites is the happy excep- tion and not the general rule One must be over vigilant and constantly aggressive in the warfare against these pests in order to even keep them in subjection, says a writer in an exchange. When a breeder tells me that not a louse or mite can be found in his or her poultry domain I cannot help thinking that a thorough investigation of the houses would discover some of these torments hid den away under perches or in some dark corner. Why this doubt of my brother or sister breeders assertion, do you ask? Well, the time was when I made like assertions, and thought truthfully, but I had a rude awakening from my dream of louse- less and miteless houses and fowls
 Just as soon as I became aware of the presence of lice a general clean ing was the order of the day, but never since have I declared as en- phatically as in the times before I discovered the unwelcome residents that there were neither lice or mites In my poultry house. Whether you know that there are lice or mites present or not, 1t will do no harm to treat the houses as if you were sure the unwelcome insects were there. Spray the perches often with some one of the good lice killers on the market and occasionally dust the fowls we'll with good insect powder

Quality and siza.

Breeders should aim to combine quality and size with good inheri. tance. They should bear in mind, however, that quality and inheritance are a greater importance than size. A small-sized. well proportioned ami nal that is well bred and shows qual- ity will bring more money in the mar ket than large-sized, loosely built, coarse one. The latter is an eye-sore to all lovers of good horses.
