Edmund Gambler, when in Lassa with
the Younghusband expedition, heard
from the Nepalese resident how he
had recently brought the uncanny toy

Barren Soil.

Apropos of the ravages that time
has made in the faces and forms OF
the veterans of the Civil war, Walter
S. Morton. president general of the
Union Society, said at dinner in
New York:
"a veteran, talking to his great
grandson, little lad of or years
remarked:
Nearly a generation and hall
ago my head was grazed by a bullet
at the battle of Chickamauga.'
"The little boy looked at the
old mans head thoughtfully and said:
"'There isn't much grazing there
now, is there, sir?"

POTATOES GROWN
IN STRAW STACKS
Unless Ground Is Reasonably
Fertile One Should Not Ex-
pect Satisfactory Results.

Years and years ago potatoes were
grown In old straw stacks, and this
suggested hauling out straw to cover
the ground no matter where the pota-
toes were planted. have. heard
great many praise this plan, while
others give 1t as a fiat failure. have
tried 1t with success, and in some
cases have failed, but In that failure
learned the cause thereof.
One cannot control the season, and
for this reason, early potatoes In
straw have been an Indifferent sue
cess, while those planted later are
almost always better than when given
cultivation and the straw not used.
II we have a cold, wet spring, potatoes
planted In deep furrow under straw,
are not likely to do well, while II they
are planted a little later, when the
sun is warm, they will not lack for
moisture, and the potato must have
sufficient moisture.
prepare the ground and lay OF
rows with single shovel just as II
were going to plant In the regular
way except that the rows may be
some closer together The potatoes
are then dropped in the row, and bare
ly covered, so that In some cases one
side OF the piece shows. It ID often
as well not to cover with dirt at all.
but it is safer in case Of dry weather
to cover little.
Then with wogan haul out oat or
wheat straw and cover ~the ground
solidly to depth of six inches or o
foot. Never fear, for the potatoes,
they will come through the straw, and
so will nettles which are akin to the
potato vine In this respect, but other
weeds will be smothered, and the patch
will be perfectly clean except for
the rows OF green potato vines. 1t
will not be necessary to cultivate with
either pillow or hoe, and If few bull
nettles should be found they may
be cut off with blade The potatoes
will form right at the top Of the
ground and In the lower layer OF
straw. There will be some elements
of fertility in the rotting straw, but
unless the ground is reasonably fertile
one should not expect any better re
suits from this plan than by cuitivat
ing.
At digging time begin on one side
fork the straw over and pick up the
potatoes, then take the next row fork
ing the straw from 1t over on the row
that has Just been dug or rather
picked The potatoes will be whit,
and clean. and you win get all of them
whereas by the old method OF cult
walton and digging among the weeds
as high your head you get maybe no
more than half.

, expense of operation. The motor
truck has Its place on. the farm. 1t
can be used for blowing and heavy
hauling, but can never replace the
draft horse. II the draft horse Is a
permanent part of agriculture, more
attention should be given to its pro-
duction.
There Is an increasing demand for
heavier horses on the farms. Deeper
and better tillage must be practiced in
the future, and this requires heavier
machinery and more motive power
There are two ways of increasing this
power. One is by increasing the num-
Der of light horses. But the most eco
nomical way is to increase the weight
of the horses. This will reduce the
farm labor force; will decrease the
amount of equipment necessary in re-
curing less stable room and less
harness, and the cost of feed will be
lessened.
All farmers and breeders who are
breeding horses for commercial pur-
poses should replace their small mares
with heavier ones. This must be done
gradually by adding a few good draft
mares to the herd every year and sell
ing the poorer ones Sometimes good
colts may be reared from inferior
mares by mating them to good stall
lion, but better ones always will be
the result of the mating of better
mares to the same stallion. There are
plenty of good stations throughout
the state, but the mares are lacking,
and until the farmers come to realize
the value of the right kind Of mares
| the profit In breeding will be low.

Rational Love.

1.-THE rational rather than the roman
tic view of marriage is the one most
in favor with the young people Of the
twentieth century," said DR.. H.. Lucas
Wentworth, the well known eugenics
expert, in an address in Cleveland.
"The rational view will make for
happier marriages. And this rational
view is beautifully illustrated in two
questions-a little dialogue-running
thus:
"'Will you always love me?'
"'Will you always be lovable?"

Where this plan has been a failure
it was on account of wet, cold weather
early in the season which caused
the potatoes to rot before coming
up. We usually use clean straw, but
half rotten would answer the purpose
probably as we'll. This coat of straw
which may be turned under the next
year. enriches the ground for subse-
quent crops whether of potatoes or
grain.
