Honorable Archers.

The British Honorable Artillery
company were at one time mighty
men with the bow and arrow, and they
were most particular as to the replac-

spaces of the capital. Several times
in the century before last the valiant
men of the II, A. c. (who date from
the year 1887, when they were incor.
porated by Henry Wild asserted their
old archer privileges, and replaced
marks that had been removed by en-.
croaChers. In 1891, when the Long
Butts at lslington Common were de-
stroyed by grave-diggers, the artillery
company were wroth, and compelled
the yandals to restore the targets. In
1892, of all the open ground for arch
cry, there remained only a few acres
to the north of the City road,-Pall

HIS COMING TIME OF EASE
Georgia Farmer Was Looking For
ward to Period When Hard Work
Should Be Over.

A lumber buyer was staying over
night in little farmhouse in the back
woods of northern Georgia, The men
of the house did nothing but sit by the
fire and chew tobacco. The lumber
man had told how he had held his jot
for seven years.
You got me beat" said the ole
cracker I've only held mine for six
years"
What is your job?" asked the lum
herman.
"Oh, sit by de fire and watch dat
de kids lon't fall in
What do you do in the summer
he asked
Il sit by de well and pull de kids our
when dey falls in"
What will you do when the chill
dren grow up and don't need watch
ing?' he asked.
Den, | 'spose is goner take things
easy and retire" he said.

Amount Of Feed.

A COW should have enough feed to
satisfy her appetite, the proportion of
coarse feed to grain being adjusted to
her actual needs. In n general way,
roughage should be fed according to
her size, allowing two pounds hay per
100 pounds weight, when hay is the
only roughage fed. When siage is
used, feed one pound hay and three
pounds silage for 100 pounds weight,
and the balance Of needed feed should
be supplied in concentrates. Roots
may be fed for grain at the rate of
ten pounds Of one.

SEED SELECTION IMPROVES THE POTATOES
Product Single HILL Showing Uniformity Shape
Of

acres were planted in q special plat
! for seed, to be used for the main
crop the following year. This plan was
followed for IL years with potato
which it was said would degenerate
and ultimately run out; but that po-
tato continued to improve during all
that time.
Several years ago Prof +. r. Ben
nett, a specialist in potato work, be-
came interested in the work the writer
was doing and freely complimented
him on his success in potato produc-
ton; but he wanted to take up and
further improve the stock. Out of
specially selected seed he selected
perfect tubers and planted them in a
field by themselves, and when the po-
tatoes were ready to harvest we dug
all of them by hand and kept the
product of each hill separate All
hills that did not have 20 tubers Of
uniform size, without knob, crack. OF
rough end were discarded No hill
was selected unless it came within
few hills were found which passed
muster. Enough were selected how.
ever, to make about two hundred
pounds, and these were planted the
following spring. When harvested it
was a most marvellous row OF pota-
toes. BY pursuing this method it is
expected that we will soon have a
potato that will make 25 perfect tu-
bers to the hill
Had we bred our Shorthorn cattle
lecting and breeding our seed pota-
toes, we would now have no breed of
Shorthorns. II we used only the culls
and scrubs to breed from, our breeds
of stock would soon run out. These
breeds have been brought to their
present standard by selecting the best
on scientific principles of breeding.
One reason why potatoes have degen-
Grated in the past is that the potato
growers of the United States have
planted their culls and screenings I'M
der the erroneous impression that
such methods in seed selection would
produce as good results as any other.
In selecting potatoes in the field,
considerable dependence can be
placed on the appearance of the top.
A large, perfect top, with several
stems of good shape and size, can be
depended upon to have more tubers
under it, and of more Uniform quail
ity and size, than hill with a single
stalk or one with small weak ones.

cabinet music boxes and other cabi'
nets for holding records, together with
handsome book shelves, ali appeal to
the housewife and daughters when the
house Is being furnished. Such furni-
ture in turn demands place enough to
tax the limitations of the largest mod
ern living rooms.
The arrangement of the dining-room,
kitchen and back porch introduces a
combination which produces domes-
tic workshop that renders housekeep-
ing a pleasure. The rear porch is in
tended as sort of annex to the kitch-
cha screened outdoor workroom.
The kitchen is fitted with built-in
cupboards along one side to take. the
place of the stereotyped pantry.
The bathroom is properly placed to
be easy of access from any part of
the house. This little bathroom is
finished in white enamel with white
hexagon tile floor blocks set in &C.
ment. The wainscoting is made of
white tile, and the walls and ceiling
are coated with white enamel paint.
No other finish is quite as suitable for
bathroom as pure white. The bath
tub and washstand also are of white
enamel finish.
The manner of placing a bungalow
on the ground has good deal to do
with its artistic appearance. Bunga-
lows are low down. A real bungalow
sits down close to the ground and
snuggles comfortably in amongst the
shrubbery. To obtain this effect. how
ever, it is not necessary that
bungalow should be damp. The effect
is produced by the grading up of the
ground. The foundation, to begin
with, is built as high as for a two
story house, but the ground is so
graded up and the shrubbery so placed
as to give the ow-down bungalow eff
feet.
Another truly bungalow feature is
the wide front steps. Some parts OF
a bungalow may be contracted into
small space, but not the front steps.
They must have liberal dimensions
in length of step and width of tread.
The risers are low and the tre@ds are
made for No. u shoes.

SYM athletic, but Just.

The late Rev. Sylvester Horne who
represented Ipswich in parliament,
used to tell an amusing story con-
corning visit which Mr.. Balfour once
paid to that town. An old lady, hard
of hearing, seeing the crowd of peo-
pie outside the station and the extra
police present, mixed up the unionist
leaders arrival with the Ipswich as

they were waiting. When she was
told 1t was Mr.. Balfour, the old lady

The Last Shat

There was probably no incident in
the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 more
dramatic than that which marked its
close. Herr Forckenbeck, president of
the Prussian chamber OF deputies, was
sent with a colleague to Versailles to
congratulate King William upon his
election as emperor.
Bismarck, who had Just concluded
the terms of peace with France, in
vited them to supper, and in the
course of the meal said.
This night, at twelve O'Clock, the
last shots will be exchanged between
our troops and the French, and | have
conceded to the French the honor OF
the last shot"
Frockenbeck and his colleague Lett
their host before midnight, drew out
their watches. stood underneath a Ian
tern Of the Hotel du Reservoir, and
waited. First there was a cannon shot
from the German lines, then solemn
stiffness. Then followed the last reply
from Mont Valerien. The tower clock
at Versailles struck IL; the French
war had ended.

(By E, II. GRUBB)

The natural home of the potato is
che mountain valleys of South Amer
lea. Where natural conditions are ia
vorable for the growth Of a plant,
there it will reach the highest degree
of perfection In the mountain valleys
OF parts of the West are found con-
ditions OF altitude, soil and moisture
naturally favorable TO the growth Of
the potato, with an almost entire alb
sence of harmful freezes and bac-
terra enemies.
In providing a suitable soil for po-
tatoes, the question naturally arises,
How shall we perfect and husband
fertility? Live stock is the real basis
of success in every agricultural dis
trict in the world. The feeding of
grains and grasses on the farm re-
places in the soil the vegetable matter
which produces the humus and fur
nishes the nitrogen that keeps up the
fertility of the soil. 1t is utterly i'm
possible to grow good potatoes with
out an open, porous soil.
clover are good-should be used as a
foundation crop. The writer grows
alfalfa or clover-sometimes both
for three or four years previous to a
potato crop. The soil is broken up
in the fal! quite deep. Fall blowing
is beneficial for the reason that it
puts the soil in better condition to re-
ceive and store heat from the rays
of the sun than spring blowing. In the
spring the soil should be worked over
with disk or springtoothed har-
row until it is thoroughly fined 1t is
very important that the soil be well
fined and firmed in order that the
root system of the young plant may
be able to secure plant food as quick
ly as possible.
or all the factors in potato growing
seed selection is by far the most i'm
portant. Some years ago the writer
undertook to improve and develop a
potato along the same lines that he
follows in improving his Shropshire
sheep and Shorthorn cattle, using the
best method of selection and giving
the seed plat the best possible cult
walton and care in order to obtain uni
formity of product. Since that time
he has been selecting seed potatoes of
the size and type which he wants to
produce. AS a Bounce potato is
about ideal in size, seed potatoes Of
that size were selected from the bin
in the spring and then four or five

On an English golf links there is a
notice to the effect that "mistresses

to practice rifle shooting at the range"
This eXcites great disgust among the

This dormer is not entirely useless,
because it admits light into the attic,
which Is required for storage purposes.
1t will be noticed that the cornice
projection is wider than in ordinary
house construction. There is some
thing about the construction of bun
galow that requires a wide projection
of roof. In fact, the little house is
principally roof, as you see 1t from q
distance, indicating a sort of over
hanging protection against the wealth
err that is both inviting and sugges-
tive Of pleasant associations In fact,
you feel the approaching welcome in
a bungalow of this kind even before
you enter the front door. 1t offers a
sort of invitation to snuggle down into
one of the big upholstered chairs and
make yourself at home.
The plan of this little home is as
Interesting as the exterior. The main
room, of course, is the large living
room, 12 by 20 feet In size. Such
splendid rooms few years ago were
considered impossible in a house of
this size. But large, airy. comfortable
living rooms have now become so
popular that houses OF any standing
in the community positively must pos.

ease, comfort and luxury by whole.
