The city of Palatka has certainly taken
on new growth within the past few
years. She has several miles of vitrified
brick streets and mile after mile of
monolith sidewalks, where only few
years ago there were sandy roads and
very poor excuses of sidewalks. She
has an exceedingly pretty city hall and
public library, new courthouse and a
comparatively new union depot. Any
one who has not visited the city in the
last few years can hardly believe that it
is the same place, as it has taken on so
many changes for the better during that
time. -Ocala Banner.

SHARE FARMING AS 1T is
PRACTICED IN AUSTRALIA.
Both Farmer and Tenant Find IL Prof
table to Grow Good Crops and
Conserve Fertility of the Soil.

Share farming on the plan whereby
owner and tenant divide equally all
that is produced from land is the COM
monest arrangement in America Aus
tralian owners, however. find it better
to follow a plan whereby the tenant
gets an increasing proportion of all the
yield above certain amount That
puts a premium on careful farming.
Here Is the agreement that applies
to one great estate of $4,000 acres,
which is divided into thirty-one farms.
The land has been converted from use
less wilderness, and upon 1t the ten
ants have prospered-
The landowner provides land ready
for the pillow, seed wheat up to BUSH
ell an acre, half the bags, Irvine and
fertilizer.
The tenant provides machinery, la
Dor and the rest of the seed, bags. etc.
Owner and farmer divide the crop
equally up to twenty bushels an acre.
The next five bushels an acre are given
entirely to the tenant as bonus for
good crop, and from twenty-five bush
els upward the yield is divided equal
ly again.
Thus from thirty bushels an acre the
owner would get twelve and a half
and the tenant seventeen and a half,
the latter's share being made up of
ten out of the first twenty plus i've
as a bonus, plus two and a half in
the last five
On another large Australian estate
that is owned by a company the ten
ant gets everything he can raise above
eighteen bushels to the acre.
Australian landlords also make a
point of following their tenants meth
DDS closely. The man who works the
land often comes from England or
Scotland and needs lessons.-Country

GETTING IN THE "SPUDS."
With Late Varieties IL Is Well to WaIA
Until Tubers Are Full Grown.

With Late Varieties IL Is Well to Waia
Until Tubers Are Full Grown.
For late varieties of potatoes to be
stored 1t is important to wait until the
tubers are full grown and the leaves
have died. After this stage OF devel-
opment the tubers separate freely from
the stems and do not have to be jerked
off. The skins are also firm and will
not rub off easily. Ii the vines have been
seriously injured by blight the tubers
should not be dug until ten days or two
weeks after the vines have died, be-
cause they are more likely to keep well
in storage than if dug at once.
If an early frost comes and If the
growing season has been late it may
be necessary to dig before the potatoes
are fully matured. In such cases there
is usually a greater shrinkage in weight
than usually occurs with fully matured
tubers. For this reason any reason
able offer to purchase the potatoes d.
rect from the field should be accepted.
Potatoes for storage must be dug
when dry, picked up at once and kept
cool. If possible they should be hauled
to a cool place as soon as dug and al
lowed to get cooler during the night
before being placed in storage.-Amer-
lean Agriculturist.

A street car line passes within few
minutes walk of his house, and in this
distance lies the only danger. He car
ries a revolver, but what use is a
weapon when one is dropped by rap
on the back of his head?
Stout was one of a younger set of
men in his suburb who were together
a great deal and constantly joking one
another. He talked to them about his
nocturnal trips home, his fear of foot
pads and what he hoped to accomplish
in case of attack One night when he
was passing dimly lighted place be
tween the street car line and his house
he was seized from behind by both
arms, a hand was thrust in his pocket
and $500 in bills taken, together with
his revolver, so that when the robbers
ran away he had weapon with
which to pursue them.
On reaching his house he found sew
eral of his friends, whom he excitedIy
told of his adventure and his loss
They sympathized with him deeply
and while doing so two others of the
walked in. Stout was somewhat sur
prised to find callers so late at night
it was IL o.clock-but. after all, there
was nothing remarkable in their visit
After listening to his account of the
robbery and asking many questions
Mark Hamlin handed him the pocket
book of which he had been robbed and
confessed himself the robber
Then there was a general jollifica-
ton. Stout brought out drinkables and
cigars, and all agreed that a very anus
ing and practical joke had been played.
Some months after this Stout was
again on his way home at night, this
time with 81 900 in his pocket that had
come in late. when at the very same
spot as before he heard the order:
Hands up
At the same time he felt the cold
muzzIe of a gun near his ear and hands
relieving him of everything he pos
sessed. Then the man with the gun
said to him:
You walk around the block before
you go home and remember that you're
watched. Any attempt to use a tele-
phone for the next half hour will re-
suit in a hole in you
Now, the threat was lost on Mr..
Stout. for he knew it had only been
made as bluff The robbers would
not be likely to wait to see that he
completed his walk, Besides, the voice
that gave the order was very like that
of Mark Hamlin.

WHY WEEDS SPREAD.

There are four reasons for the
spread Of weeds, and the first is
careleSsneSs in allowing them to
get foothold when they first ap-
pear. Second.-The ignorance of
their habits and manners of
growth makes it difficult to ex-
terminate them when the field
has become thoroughly infested.
Third.-The sowing of impure
seed, particularly of clover, al
falfa and grass seeds, and the
Importation of many in the grain
crop seed we secure from eleva-
tors and seed houses. Fourth
Failure to keep fences and road
sides free from weeds.
Weeds take up in large quaint
ties the plant food that would
otherwise be available to the
crop of grain, but fully as impor-
tant as this is the tremendous
amount of soil moisture they use

Poison In cottonseed Meal.

The cottonseed meal If fed in large
quantities Is poisonous has been dem
onstrated by several experiment sta
lions. The Louisiana experiment sta
ton has recently completed an expert
ment on this subject which lasted over
two years. Its conclusions are that
1t can be used with perfect safety in
smaller quantities. If more than four
pounds per day is fed to cows or two
pounds per day to horses and smaller
quantities to hogs for long periods it
has a poisonous effect on the animal
body.
