UHE YIELD CAN BE INCREASED
BY SPRAYING.
Level Cultivation Should Be Practiced
bordeaux Mixture 10 Used For
Spraying-The Experiment Station
INCREASES the Yield

One Of the most essential things In
the growing - Il crop Of potatoes is to
protect them from weeds. This pro-
lection should begin even before the
potatoes come up. When the first
weeds make their appearance they can
be easily killed by going over the
ground with q Wccder or a spiked
tooth harrow set SO as not to dig very
deep. Wccd2r may be safely used
until the plants are two inches high,
but harrow may cause some injury
at this st:,ga. When the plants be-
come too I4rse to permit the use Of
the harrow or Wccdcr, the cultlvator
should lie u&,d.
In cu!ttVat.Hg the potato fields the
established custom has been to ridge
Tho dirt around the hills at each Guilt
yatiOn. A serious objection to this
method lies IL the fact that during
the hot months OF the summer these
eidGes have Il tendency to dry out and
The potato is deprived Of It's proper
amount ef moisture. During an c1-
ceedngly wet season, however, the
ridges ard burrows serve TO establish
Drainage and may be u benefit To
overcome thiS drying-Olt tendency
many successful growers arc begin
nlng to adopt the level culture sys-
Gem. 1t hos been found that from
seven to nine civilizations during the
season are necessary for maximum re-
quilts. Not only do the frequent Gull
Gvahons keep down the weeds, but by
keeping the surface OF the soil CON
etantly stirred they prevent tho es-
cape OF moisture by evaporation.
One OF the most important factors
In producing high yields Of potatoes
fs the spraying TO prevent the ravagea
OF blight, tip burn, flea BEETLES and
potato bugs. The potato blight is
much worse In some years than In
others, but even during years OF no
blight the application Of Bordea,
mixture have been found beneficial.
Spraying should begin when the
plants are from six to eight Inches
nigh and continued about every two
weeks during the season. For tho first
ewo sprayings use four pounds OF cop
Per sulphate (bmestone or blue VIII
taol), end six pounds of lime to fifty
gallons OF water. For the lator spray

NO REST FOR HOUSEWIVES
Trail Candidates for Opinions
on Meat Tariff.

The Housewives League is still on the
trail OF the Presidential candidates, and
its interchangeable president. Mrs. Julian
Heath, said yesterday that they need look
for no respite until they satisfy the
housewifely desire for knowledge regard
ing their attitude on the beef tariff.
Having received no answer to letters
addressed to the candidates = month ago
on this subject-except note from
Colonel Roosevelts secretary. saying that
he would take the matter up when he
got home. the housewives yesterday ad-
dressed the following letter to the same
persons:
on August II O letter was mailed 10 You
asking II YOU would. In the event OF
your election 10 the Presidency OF the
United States, favor the removal Of the
tariff on meat. In the great stress OF the

DRAW FARMERS TO TAFT
Pertinent Questions Sent to the
Wives of Voters.

Here are some pertinent questions
which Miss Mary Wood. secretary of the
department of woman's work OF the Re-
publican National Committee, is sending
TO farmers wives
Do you know that the United States
farmers have more comfortable homes,
better furniture and clothes and food than
the farmers OF any country in the world !?
That their families have more labor saw
ing devices and comforts and luXuries
than the families OF any other nations?
Do YOU know that tariff for revenue
only would increase the price Of sugar by
running the business OF the cane and beet
pete with the cost Of production in other
countries and that the prices would stead
fly increase?
Do you know that the free rural de-
livery service, which develops good roads
and brings your magazines and nevspa-
pers and letters and postage stamps 10
your door, owes its existence TO the Re
publican party?
DO YOU know that American labor Is
tho best paid OF any In the world and
that for this reason the worker In the
factory and shop is able to pay good
prices for butter and eggs and vegetables?
DO YOU know that the United States en-
joys a prosperity unequalled in any other
country i'm the world, because the Ameri-
can manufacturer buys the products or
the American farmer and the American
farmer buys the products of the Amerl-
can manufacturer?
DO YOU know that the development or
manufacturing plants increases the value
of your acres by building railroads and
trolley lines to facilitate transportation,
thus bringing the market to your door?

Just as we'll" All this may be true; the
vacuum cleaner may miss a thread and
the broom may be less trouble to adjust,
but-and here's the rub--a vacuum clean
err gets below the surface and extracts the
dust, which falls in a close receptacle.
This container must not leak or give up
it's contents until the operator is ready to
dispose OF the accumulation. Therefore
there is no dust to fly about and aid in
the spreading Of that dreaded disease in
rampant during the dusty months, when
the winds blow and the windows and
doors are continually open.
: The simple truth is just this That
after seeing the mystical performances OF
the demonstrators Of vacuum cleaners in
the shops-the designs traced In -four
the ropes swallowed up and the small
trees absorbed--one is disappointed upon
reaching home to find that an old rug
still looks old after the magical cleaner
has been applied to it, and that frequent
ly one gets no spectacular demonstration
of dustless track, as seen in the shop.
II is needless to say that among the
many cleaners on the market there are
many that cannot be recommended.

extravagant claims. If manufacturers re-

THE PURPOSE OF EDUCATION
Most People Regard 1t as an
Ornament, Says Mrs. Young.

Ornamental education Is doing more
harm to the child Of this country than al
most anything else that might mention"
writes Mrs. Ella Flsgg Young in The
Mothers Magazine" From the farm
child IN the country to the pampered child
Of the cities we find the victims OF orns-
mental or decorative education, and the
responsibility for their failures begins with
the parents. who regard education as an
attractive wall paper and not as step
ping stone to legitimate end"
BY way of illustration Mrs. Young tells
of mother, who, after having made great
pecuniary sacrifices TO educate her daugh-
ter, complained after she bad graduated
that she was quite useless. She could
dress herself and look pretty, but did not
want TO do anything.
did you impress upon her at the start
that the real object Of an education Is to
teach a person how TO work." inquired
Mrs. Young.
The mother shook her head. Il never
thought Of that" she said Education
never appealed to me from that point OF
view. wish 1t had"
For this ornamental education Mrs
Young estimates that the average parent
in the United States and Canada annually
pays out not less than $50 year for
seven years and not more on the average
than 500 year

penses TO be faced" she adds 'the sum-

ambitions TO read. travel and to do other
laudable things the expense Is enormous

For this state OF affairs Mrs. Young
