Iowa Homestead. After the gate is
made it should be hung securely. If
there are no trees in line with the
fence, or near enough to make their
use permissible, poles must be set. A
good, heavy pole should be selected.
Set 1t as deep as possible. To he Of
any service it should be set in con-
crete. Two poles so set are sufficient
to swing a gate. If dirt is stamped
around the poles the tapping water
will soften it and the pole will soon
fall over or be washed out. Brace the
poles well with wires which should be
attached to the top, then tied to sew
eral surrounding trees. If there are
no trees the wires can be pegged
down. The gate is suspended by iron
hasps to wire cable stretched be-

WORK LATE POTATOES
Eternal Vigilance Is Price of SUBJ
stantiaI field.
ImperatlveIy Necessary to Maintain
Dirt or Dust Mulch to Prevent
Needless Waste Of Moisture
by Evaporation.
nv w. M. KELLEY

During July and August the right
kind of work must be given the late
potatoes regularly, for eternal vigi-
lance in the potato patch is the price
of a good yield of tubers. If they
are properly looked after they will
clean in the rows, with hardly a
weed in hills.
AS soon as the plants show In rows
across a field start the cultivator and
set the teeth to run four or FIVE
inches deep the first time over the
ground. This loosens up the COM
paoted soil and gives the tiny rootlets
. S,Asta- chance to penetrate between
tie soil particles.
From then maintain dirt or dust
mulch in between the rows and
around the hills. This Is imperative
ly necessary to prevent the needless
waste of moisture by evaporation. To
check this the dirt mulch acts as
blanket by cutting OF the multitudes
of little holes which appear through
the crust and through which the sun
pumps the water out very rapidly.
1t is a puzzle sometimes to know
Just what is the best tool to use at
all times in cultivating potatoes
through the growing season. The
horse weeder is one that may be used
at certain times in the potato field
to alternate with the spring-toothed
cultivator, especially when the pota-
toes are planted in drills.
1t levels tie ground and destroys
a multitude of weeds. Then for few
days the cultivator takes hold and
does better work than it would if the
teeth followed right in the same
teeth tracks as before
The weeder sometimes does more
damage than good, if used improperly.
like to use it in the afternoon as it
does less injury in breaking off tender
plants.
l keep the cultivator going very fire.
Quently over the same ground be-
tween the rows, working as close to
the hills as possible. But if the sea-
son is wet | get out my old shovel
pillow and corugate the surface quite
deep.
This is for The purpose of exposing
a much larger portion Of the surface
soil and thus hasted the evaporation
of the excess of moisture therein. A
moderate drought during the growing
season does not do as much injury as
too much moisture.

A story is that about man who one
day told his wife he would give her all
the silver pieces she found in his peck

AS a result the lady in due course of
time had quite an amount OF silver ON
hand-and she went to the bank and

Then, speaking to the cashier. the
lady said:
MY husband tells me you are going
to pay him some money today. Won't
you please pay him in this silver

for his courtesy TO the ladies, quickly

BEST EXPRESSION OF THANKS
Live Joyously and Genuinely, Says
One Who Dislikes Formal Phrases
Of Gratitude.

The best possible method of giving
thanks for the blessings of life is to
live joyously and genuinely. When the
flowers Of spring break forth in their
simple beauty because of the suns
rays they make the response of graft
tude. When human beings expand in
the richness and geniality of warm
hearts and sincere desires they, too.
are showing the supremest gratitude.
The sparkling air of frosty fall day
makes one feel good" but feeling
good" is nothing else than a grateful
recognition of the atmospheric stimu-
lus felt in the blood.
1t may be that formal phrases of
gratitude are not spoken as readily as
in earlier days. 1t may even be that
there is less informal phrasing of
grateful emotions than there was
when life was less complex and dis
turbed, Quantitative comparisons of
emotions are hard to make and sure
to be inaccurate. Who shall say that
there is less genial and joyous living
today, or a more sluggish response to
the warning spirit of fellowship?
Mere laughing does not signify hap
piness, nor does the eager pursuit Of
commercialized amusements mean
true joyousness. But the judgment of
the capacity Of humanity for thank
fulness must be based on wider evil
dence than the wretchedness wrought
by crime and poverty, or the cynical
pessimism of those who have been
cheated in life's game, or the unhappy
restlessDess of the wanderers in a
great city.-Edward H. Chandler, in
Boston Globe.

Raisinn Asparaqus.

Every farmer should have an abun,
dant supply of asparagus for his own
table from the latter part of April
until after the first of July. This is
one of the most wholesome Of vege-
tables and is easily grown. We would
suggest the mulching plan for busy
farmers. Strong one-year roots
should be planted just as early IN the
spring as the soil can be prepared
and as soon as the plants are up the
ground should be mulched heavily
enough with fresh horse manure TO
prevent weed growth and to thor
oughly preserve soil moisture. Four
inches of manure will accomplish
both of these purposes. Every rain
will carry liquid plant food to the
roots of the asparagus and the plants
will grow just as rapidly as under
the best of cultivation. Mulching
should be used much more largely by
farmers for growing asparagus, egg
plants, celery and bush fruits.

WISCONSIN LEADS
DAIRY INDUSTRY
TOOK FIRST PLACE IN 1909, WHEN
NEW YORK DROPPED
TO SECOND.
YEARS PRODUCT $53,843,249
Number of Factories $3.50 Showing
Growth OF 1915 Per Cent. DURING
Ten Years From 1899 to 19os-Also
Leads Cheese Industry.

Observation-Disclosures regarding the
butter, cheese and condensed milk in
dustry during 1909, just given by the
census bureau, show that in that year
Wisconsin took first place, as meas
ured by the value of products, dis
placing New York.
In 1909 Wisconsin had $3.50 dairy
establishments, turning out products
valued at $53, S43, 249, which was 1876
per cent of the total value of dairy
products of the United States. In the
decade. 1899 to 1909, the Badger dairy
industry had grown 1915 per cent.
Minnesota Also Gains.
Ia average number of wage earners
and value added by manufacture, New
York still held first place in 1909 and
wisconsin ranked second, but the per-
centage of increase for the decade in
these items, as well as in the value
OF products, were less for New York
than for Wisconsin. Iowa ranked third
as regards value of products in 1909
Minnesota, which shows an increase of
96.5 per cent in value of products for
the hVe-year period, advanced from
fifth place in 1904 to fourth in 1909,
having exchanged positions with ILL
nois, which shows a gain of only BAL
per cent for this period.
Wisconsin Largest Butter Producer.
In the quantity of butter manufac-
tured in the factories of the industry
there was an increase of 204, 638, 107
pounds, or 48.7 per cent, during the
decade 1899-19O9. Wisconsin ranked
first in the production of butter in
1909, with 1913, 884,6S4 pounds; Mime
sofa was second, with S8,S42, S46
pounds; and Iowa was third, with 49,
582,187 pounds. Although the manu-
facture of butter was reported from
forty-three states in 1909, the COM
bined product of six states, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa, New York, Califor-
mia and Michigan, amounting to 400
OO2,l43 pounds, represented GA per
cent of the total for the industry.
Badger Cheese Industry Leads.
The production of cheese in 1909
was 10 per cent less than in 1904,
aud only 1913 per cent greater than
that in 1899, and since both of the
other main products of this industry
show considerable increase for the
period 1904-1909, as well as for the
decade, it may be inferred that milk
is less profitably used in the manu-.
facture Of cheese than in the manu-
facture of butter or condensed milk.
BY far the largest gain in any state
during the decade 1899-19O9 was that
in Wisconsin, amounting to 7O,316,96
pounds, or 9O.4 per cent.
