No one knows the inspiration OF q

and most regiments have their favor
on march. The men of the Manches-

for singing on the march. and two of
their favorite songs are "Killaloe" and
Brian Boru." both OF which give OPP

SCARED THE LEOPARD.
a Blow With an Umbrella Routed the
SaNaQa Brute

Savage Brute.
A remarkable encounter with a leop-
ard is related In sport on the Nilgiris,'
Mr. f. w. F. Fletcher:
zone April afternoon had been over
to see a friend about four miles away,
and shortly after l left his bungalow
on my return home 1t began to rain.
AS riding was uncomfortable In the
wet, l got off my nag and gave him
to the housekeeper. After a mile the
rain stopped. and the sun came out,
but shut my umbrella and determin-
ed to walk the rest Of the way home.
Before me trotted ave little terriers,
behind me came the syce leading my
horse. We reached a sharp bend In
the road, and the doggies had disap-
peared round 1t when saw the whole
pack rushing back full tilt, with Loop
ard at the heels of the hIndmost dog.
Just as they reached me, the leop-
ard seized Flirt, and at the same mo-
ment landed him blow on the head
with all my force with the umbrella,
which few into splinters. The leopard
dropped the dog, but his impetus was
SO great JudI ne COuIu not SlOp, huu,
rushing past one, he knocked my syce
clean off his legs. Then he jumped
into the grass bordering the road.
THE change that came over our
peaceful procession in that one instant
was astounding. There stood l in the
road, fabbergasted, with broken UNI
brella handle in my hand; my syce was
roaring blue murder on his back; my
horse was boiling for home like run
away engine, and my Eve little dogs
we're shivering at my feet picked up
FlIrt and carried her home. She was
badly bitten in the neck, but frequent
applications of phenyl soon made the
wounds heal, and in a fortnight or so
she was wen again. But she was a
changed dog. She would come out with
me, but she always stuck to my heels,
and nothing would induce her to enter
the scrub or join the other dogs In q

A PAMPERED POET.

Wordsworth Was Waited on Hand and

wrapped up in themselves. Even
though you were their guests you WERE
expected in everything to play second
fiddle to the man Of the house. Round
him everything revolyed. You might
have poor breakfast, cold dishes, bad
coffee-things were mostly bad at Ry-
dHl that were only for the inferior gen.
eral Company-but the masters COM
fort was sedulously attended to-sO
different from my other poet friend,
Mr.. Southey. with whom l also stayed
at the lakes. Southey was everybody's
body, attending to every one, looking
after every one himself while in the
Wordsworth household It was the Gus
tom for the head of the house to break
fast in bed. wife on one side. daughter
on the other, both wholly absorbed in
ministering to his wants, while every
other person might go hang!
And Il Us the same ali through the
day. You might as a stranger long to
see all you could of those beautiful
lakes and mountains, and almost any
hosts would have taken care that you
should. but not so the Wordswortbs.

The writer is pleased to state that a
number of growers accepted and fol.
lowed the advice offered at that time.
He personally fumigated a large cellar
at the owners request, while another
extensive potato grower constructed a
fumigating chamber within his cellar
in which 300 to 500 sacks of potatoes
could be fumigated at once. Many
growers soaked their seed potatoes in
formaldehyde solution.
From various points reports reached
the writer in mid-June that many
stands of potatoes were very poor-a
number of growers actually plowing
up their potato fields and planting
other crops Trips were made to as
certain the real conditions. Although
1t. was found that some reports had
been exaggerated, there remained
truth enough to cause concern. 1t was
observed that the termination of the
majority of the fields. was irregular
Some sprouts were vigorous and heal
thy, many were puny and just appear
ing above ground. while many cuttings
had altogether failed to sprout. Some
of the latter sprouted after the June
showers.
Upon digging up many Of the weak
sprouts and cuttings which had not
terminated it was in many cases dis
covered that the cuttings had been in
fected with powdery dry rot, which
had greatly weakened or destroyed the
sprouts or had entirely rotted the cut.
tings.
Much of this irregularity in the ger
mination was also due to the fact that
planting had been done in ground en-
tirely too dry. Many of the cuttings
planted in such soil failed to germin'
ate until the rains of June had fur
nished the necessary moisture. For
speedy and vigorous termination pota
toes require to be in contact with
moisture.
Potato growers in some districts
have already been taught by expert
ence to irrigate their fields before ol

Openings into bins or cellars; often
floor or upon other potatoes with a
crushing force. This also is quite I'M
necessary. A wide tube of burlap
might be made and be attached to the
opening. This would form a flexible,
soft, chute, whose lower end should
be held by one operator while an
other, outside the building or cellar,
throws the potatoes into the mouth of
the shute. The operator holding the
lower end would move it to and fro
Ito distribute the potatoes, which
would roll uninjured from the canvas
shute.
Potatoes are often badly bruised by
the careless dumping of full sacks. 1t
would be better practice to use what
are called half-sacks, or fill the ordin-
airy sacks but half full in the field.
They could thus be more easily and
carefully handled. There are many
little points of this kind whose appli-
cation need not involve loss of time,
but which would undoubtedly effect
a saving of hundreds of thousands of
dollars annually to the potato growers
of this state.
The recent field inspectors showed
that many growers were permitting
their potato fields to become too dry
before irrigating. In most districts
the numerous showers of June were

the rainfall was considerable. it con-
sisted mainly of light showers, or

the surface moisture. when the soil
about the roots had become too dry.

The most serious and prevalent dis

potato scab was nowhere found to be

At the close of the tour suggestions
were offered for the selection and
treatment of seed potatoes prior to
planting; hints were also given for the
choice and preparation of ground in
which to plant selected tubers. The
potato growers were cautioned to Sc
