Things Farmers Should Know
SELECTING SEED POTATOES.
Depends Upon Farmer Whether Crop
Improves or Deteriorates.

depends Upon Farmer Whether Crop
Improves or Deteriorates.
1t is a common impression among po-
tato growers that where any variety
is grown year after year on the same
farm the potatoes gradually diminish
in size and in production per acre, or,
as is often described, they run out"
AS a matter of common observation,
this is true, writes r. B. Coglon, Idaho
seed commissioner, and an attempt is
made to remedy the difficulty by Sc
curing seed potatoes from a distant
source. often from seed merchants, at
fancy prices. A few. however, are
beginning to realize that the cause is
not so much in the variety of potatoes
as it is in the variety Of farmer.
The quality of any crop depends
largely upon the quality of seed sown.
we may expect a crop of deep eyed
potatoes. If we plant potatoes with
"knuckleS" or secondary growths upon
them or potatoes that are ill shapen
we may expect to harvest a crop of the
same description.
A miscellaneous collection of large
and small tubers with varying shapes
will likewise produce after their own
kinds. 1t therefore depends primarily
upon the farmer whether the potatoes
deteriorate or improve. In harvesting
the crop it can readily be noticed that
some hills contain q larger per cent OF
marketable tubers than others. 1t is
from these hills that seed for next
spring should be taken.

Writinu on Wood,

Some persons are of the opinion that
the first writing was upon thin pieces
of wood. From their convenience this
seems probable Such boards were used
at an early period by the Greeks and
Romans and We're frequently covered
with wax. which was of course more
easily written upon than the bare
wood. Where wax was used errors were
readily erased by rubbing with the
blunt end of the piece of metal which
served for a pen. TO make the writing
more visible it appears that some black
substance was Smeared over the sur
face of the white wax and remained in
the scratched marks.

THE LAWS DELAY.
ONE RAN FROM 1910 TO 1843.
Another Required Equally as Long
Period For Settlement-ln Several

Instances Lawyers Fees Ate Up Full
Amount of Estate Under Dispute.
In 1905 there came to an end n SUIT
in Alsace that had been running IT'S
course for something over four cen
turtles. This dispute was between in
habitants of the Dabo and the Alsace
department of state forests. and it is
regarded by legal authorities as being
one Of the most remarkable and most
long drawn out pieces of litigation
whereof there is any record. Dabo Ill
timately won the suit.
There have been, however at least
three other lawsuits even more an
Gent One of them, that having refer
ence to a controversy between the
Comte de Nevers and some natives of
Donzy, was begun in 1910 and was
not finally disposed Of until 1S4S, after
63S years of litigation.
There was another instance Of the
laws delay, the suit between citizens
Of Campan and Bagneres, which, odd
ly enough, also required just 63S years,
from 1854 to 1892.
The third of these long drawn out
battles between lawyers was suit
between Campan and adjacent vii
lagos, finally determined only couple
of years ago.
There Is still pending in the Russian
courts an action at law initiated more
than five centuries ago, says the Phila-
delphia Press. This arose out Of Il
controversy between 4 member Of the
nobility and citizens of KaminictS 20
dClsk as to lands alleged to have hcau
wrongfully appropriated by them.
Until three years ago Bayarian
courts were still sitting ON a case in
volving claims preferred 10y citizens Of
Burgsinn to forest. Il ease that was
begun in 1896. About the same time
there was brought to conclusion in the
Swedish courts a case first heard in
1640. This suit was brought by Luz
beck merchant for the recovery Of
funds said to have been lent the gov
ernment 1t was ended by compro-
mise with the merchants grandson.
There have been any number OF
cases the determination of which con-
sumed a period embracing two CEN
| turtles. About the middle of the eight
eenth century Hungarian bishop, De-
metra, died, leaving enormous estates
to his family.
Owing to the Turkish invasions, how
ever, his heirs were unable 10 obtain
their control. When the political air
cleared it was found that the claimants
numbered no fewer than 1000. Failin;
to agree as to the division of the &c.
tate, they went to law in 11GS, and the
legal ball was kept merrily rolling. UNI
til in 1890 decision was at last reach
ed. AS the result of this litigation
each claimant received So. All the rest
of the estate, estimated to have been
worth originally over $1,000,000, had
gone to the lawyers.
Another case wherein the lawyers got
the best of it was a suit begun in 1923
for the estate Of rich West India
planter, J. J. Parker. This suit drag
ged it's way through one court or an
other until 1869, when it came to 81
close for the sufficient reason that the
lawyers had by that time received ev.
cry penny of the estate.

past there has been so much
plotting as in Paris.
Recently q workman engaged in raZ-
ing a house in the Faubourg st. Ger
main on removing square stone eX-
posed the crown of a human head. AS
stone after stone was displaced skel-
eton. dressed in the fashion of the time
of Louis XII, was uncovered. the
space in which it stood was just large
enough to hold it. One side, opening
into a large chamber, formed the door
to the compartment, being tall, mar
row mirror, at the bottom of which
were two wooden drawers fianked by
candelabra, mirror, drawers and all
moving together when the door swung.
The architect at once sent information
of the find to the Academy of History
and NJ Andre BrOSseau. the secretary,
was dispatched to examine the skele-
ton. Brosseau was astonished to find
that. though dressed as q man, the
frame was that of woman. The dis
covery filed out the missing links to q
mystery of the time Of Cardinal Richie
lieu that BrosSeau had been long trying
to solve.
In Richelieu's day dueling became SO
prevalent in France that the cardinal
made it an offense punishable with
death. Jules Beauchemin and CASTOR
Arnot, disregarding the edict, arranged
to settle dispute with rapiers. Beau
chemin was a noted fencer, who had
often killed his man. ArnOt was little
more than a boy. Nevertheless Beau
chemin was left dead on the field. The
cardinals spies, who had got wind of
the matter, arrived on the ground only
in time to see Arnot jump on q horse
and leave the spot at a gallop. Run
ming after him ON foot, one of them
seized a horse by the way and follow
ed him to the door of his home. AS
soon as they could gain admittance they
entered and searched the house. The
young man was not to be found There
was no one there but servants, one Of
whom, being threatened, confessed that
she had seen her master run hurriedly
upstairs and into his room. The cardi-
nars spy spent an hour vainly endeav-
oring to corner his man. What puzzled
him was that there was no egress from
the rear that he considered possible.
Concluding that Arnot had got away
by some hidden passage, the entrance
to which was only to be found by one
who knew the secret, he went to the
cardinal and reported the facts. The
same day notice was posted in the
streets of Paris offering a reward for
CASTOR Arnot, but the duelist was new
err taken, nor was he ever again seen in
France, though mysterious reports &C.
casionally got out that he was serving
with the army on the frontier.
Now, all this was a matter of history
with which the secretary of the acad
envy had been familiar. If the skele
ton found had been that of a man a
solution of the problem as to what had
become Of CASTOR Arnot would have
been found. AS it was, the find only
added to the mystery, for what was a
woman doing in this secret space in
the garb of a man? AS to the house
having been occupied by the Arnot
family, that was uncertain. However,
