FARMING BY ELECTRICITY.

One Of the greatest experimenters in

HOW TO SAVE POTATOES.
Spraying For Early Blight Has Been

Early potato blight is liable to at

to spray early paintings of early vare-
ties. If. however. others desire to do
so he advises spraying when plants
are small and continuance Of the
treatment every ten days until at least
10 per cent of the leaf surface is dying,
when 1t will be useless to spray longer.
In rainy weather spraying should be

EWA husband sons, fortune. All
I'VE that remained to her was
= her daughter, Frances. Mrs.
Franklins gloom wore upon her daugh.
ter, who was at that age when the
world is most delicious-the age of
keen interest, of warm friendships, of
love. Nevertheless Frances bore with
her mothers infirmities and made the
best of the situation.
Then came Langdon Carr, who fell
desperately in love with Frances, she
returning his affection. Carr was in
every respect capable of rendering her
happy. lie was brilliant, well started
in his profession for so young a man,
heir to prospective wealth. Every one
said, at last poor Frances Is to be
made happy
The lover during his courtship had
observed the condition in the Franklin
home and spoke of Mrs. Franklin as
Mrs Dismal He was irritated to
find that it was impossible to get Fran
ces out with him one evening, for her
mother objected to being left alone. If
he spent the evening at the house and
he and Frances wandered away into
another room Mrs. Franklin would
take on n sour countenance and after
Langdon's departure accuse her daugh-
Ter Of having no feeling for her. Carr
resolved to end the unpleasant situa-
ton by marriage.
Frances" he said, Eve will have no
comfort until we set up for ourselves
In our own home. There we shall be
free and independent"
This speech set Frances to thinking.
What would her mother do without
her? Either Mrs. Franklin must live
with her and her husband or sink I'M
der load Of loneliness and sorrow.
Yet If she lived with them the daugh-
ter's condition would not be improved,
while the son-in-law would be reduced
TO II similar condition. Frances stud
led to find solution. but there was
no solution. She must choose between
her mother and her lover. She decided
to remain single.
When Langdon Carr received her de-
clslon he was very much troubled.
However. he realized that "N1rs. Dis
NAL" would make his married life mis-:
cradle so long as she lived and felt
that Frances was doing right to decide
between them and her. Any other
course would be nm injustice to him.
1t was better that she should sacrifice
him and herself and cling to her moth
er than drag that mother into her mar
ried life.

makes 1t harder for me TO give you up,
