A MARROW ESCAPE.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: Last
summer l spent my entire vacation with
my mother and brother in Hunter. \. Y.
We had a fine time, playing baseball and
tennis. and going rowing. but we enjoyed
ourselves most at a little creek adjoining
the hotel at which we were stopping. II
was rather deep for US. being about six
feet in the middle To make things still
better we found an old raft there. which
with the aid of two sticks for paddles, we
were able TO use in our sports.
One morning before breakfast my brother
and I decided to sharpen our appetites
and we started for the creek. Arriving
there we took of our shoes and stockings
and with a life preserver which we had
found around the house We entered the
raft and started for the other side. My
brother then took the life preseryer and
threw II into the water in order to remove
it from his way l leaned over to regain
Il and | had almost touched II when lost
nv balance and tumbled headlong INTO
the water turning the raft over with me
and throwing my brother also in the water.
Being unable 10 swim we shouted loudly
for help Then everything was blank. l
remember that while under the water l
was kicking frantically, trying to keep my
self on the top While I was doing this
my hand came in contact with the stick we
had been using as a paddle, and with the
aid Of this 7 pulled myself above the water
and onto the raft. | looked around and saw
two young men in the act OF leaping into
the water for my brother. The moments
Of suspense seemed like years, but event
ually | was delighted 10 see one Of them
swimming 10 the shore with my brother In
one Of his hands
We were both hurried to the house and
packed into bed. but We soon were able 10
get out. none the worse but much the wiser
for the experience. You can imagine that
We never even thought Of going on the
raft again. and we were very thankful lot
hayina been delivered right from the hands
Of death I hope that non. Of the little
men or little women will ever have such
an unpleasant experience, and always re-

RAISING POTATOES.

Dear Little Men and Little Woman; We
live in a valley inclosed on all sides oy
the Blue Mountains. Through the centre
of this valley runs Ontelamee Creek. named
bv Indians who lived here long ago. MOST
Of the soil is Of a gravelly nature ana our
principal crop is potatoes. our po'a'oes
are ALWAYS in demand. because IT Is claIneu
they have a better taste than those grown

from 100 TO go bushels from an acre oe-
pending on the kind OF soil and the way
they are taken care Of Last year tney re-
ceived an average price Of about 80 cents
a bushel. At this writing the price a' '"e

In order TO raise potatoes and not Work
the soil too hard a rotation OF crops must
be practised-that is first year, wheat;
second year, clover, and third year. pota-
toes. The clover sod IS usually covered
with manure during the fall and winter.
MANY also apply fertilizers after the land
is ploughed and the crop planted Inc
land is ploughed the latter part OF Aprii
or beginning of May and narrowed three
or four times 10 make the soil me DuF-
ing May the potatoes are planted mostly
by machine Usually fair sized potato
is selected and cut into several parts, so
that each part has at least two or three
eyes After the crop is planted the land
is cultivated at least once a week or as
soon as possible after heavy rains THIS
frequent cultiva tion is done for the pur-
pose of destroying the many weeds 70

the plant food in the soil rtady to DC usea
by the plants.
The potato beetle is an insect that feeds
on the leaves OF the potato plant ana
every wear makes much trouble for the
farmer and causes considerable damage
The farmers use spraying machines draN u

these insects become plentiful IN this way
they can keep them from doing much IN

The potatoes are dug by plouchs or ma -.
chimes and wagons are taken into the neld

part Of the crop which the farmer wants
to dispose of IN the fall he usually stores
in outbOuses or in the barn. The remainder
of the crop Is put into the cellar or Wher-

toes Of our valley that are sold are hauled
70 the station and loaded into cars and
taken TO Philadelphia and other cities and
towns where they are sold to stores or

with good potato land and fair prices more
can he realized from an acre than from the
average crop. Lovingly yours,
