GETTING IN THE "sPuDs."
With Late varietie. II Is Well to Wait
Until Tubers Arc Full Grown.

With Late Varieties II Is Well to Wait
Until Tubers Are Full Grown.
For late varieties Of potatoes to be
stored it 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. If 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 II tho
growing season has been late 1t 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
tubeTs. 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 cool place as soon as dug and al
lowed to get cooler during the night
before being placed in storage.-Amer-
lean Agriculturist.

SHARE FARMING AS IT is
PRACTICED IN AUSTRALIA.
Both Farmer and Tenant Find It 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 plan whereby the tenant
gets an increasing proportion of all the
yield above a certain amount. That
puts 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 II 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
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 half
and the tenant seventeen and a half,
the latter's share being made up Of
ten out of the first twenty plus five
as bonus, plus two and a half in
the last five.
On another large Australian estate
that is owned by company the ten
ant gets everything he can raise above
eighteen bushels to the acre.
Australian landlords also make
point of following their tenants meth
DDS closely. The man who works the
land often comes from England or
Scotland and needs lessons. -Country

A street car line passes within a few
minutes walk of his house, and in this
distance lies the only danger. He car
ries revolver, but what use is Il
weapon when one is dropped by rap
on the back of his head?
Stout was one of 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 a dimly lighted place be-
tween the street car line and his house
he was seized from behind by both
arms, hand was thrust in his pocket
and $500 in bills taken, together with
his revolver, so that when the robbers
ran away he had no weapon with
which to pursue them.
On reaching his house he found sew
eral of his friends, whom he excitedly
told of his adventure and his loss.
They sympathized with him deeply,
and While doing so two others of the
set, Mark Hamlin and Ben Turner,
walked in. Stout was somewhat sur
prised to find callers so late at night
it was II 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 Il 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 OH his way home at night, this
time with 81 900 in his pocket that had
come in late, when Mt the very same
spot. as before he heard the order:

At the same time he felt the cold
mlzzle of gun near his ear and hands

said to him;

A SUCCESSFUL MERCHANT

Hs Who Goes In For Many Different

An editorial article in the Agricultu-
raj Southwest, which upholds the gen
eral store In the smaller cities and

ness, contains hint for those. who
would compete successfully with the
big mail order store that carries every
thing, from hairpin to portable
house. The editor writes:

votes whole column Of his valued pa
per to an article on the mistake that
the present day merchant is making in
running 81 general store.
This article endeayors to show that
the old rule of mo two things can be
done at the same time and done right. I"
Using this old rule in bearing out his
argument that where any merchant
tries to handle a multiplicity of lines he
cannot make success of any one, we
do not in the least doubt the sincerity
of his belief. At one time in the not
distant past we We're of the same opin-
ion, until we had our ideas changed by
first hand knowledge.
The most successful merchants with
the best conducted stores, bringing to
their owners the greatest margin of
profit, are those who have diversified
lines. In fact, the merchant who sells
everything, from needle to a traction
engine, is the one who broadens, and
when the call of the big town reaches
him he is qualified to go into the fight
against his longer established competi-
tor and get share of that business
which his all around knowledge has
taught him how to talk about and han
