Potatoes i'm the Garden.

| The common Irish potato of tn
South needs a deeply pulyerized coo
soil holding much moisture and ricl
in potash. The first requirement ma!
! be supplied my means of CAREFUL!
prepared deep seed-bed The higl
| amount of potash needed is most con
veniently supplied i'm the home gard Fl
by applications of ordinary wooC
ashes. Potatoes should be planted
rather early in the spring in drills
8 feet apart with the plants at inter
walls of l. to Is inches.
A very convenient way to grow po-
tatoes for the home is to plant the
tubers rather thickly in a bed, and
cover the whole with straw. The
straw serves as n mulch to retain
moisture and to keep out weeds The
ground is also kept cool. which is an
advantage in potato growing. On ac-
count of the little trouble these beds
of potatoes give the gardener. they are
sometimes called lazy beds
Potatoes are universally attacked
by the Colorado potato beetle and by
a form of blight. The beetles may
be controlled by any of the arsenical
poisons and the blight is eradicated
by the well-known bordeaux spray
With intelligent gardening these pests
OF the potato should not give any
trouble.
Unless the garden is rather extern
siye. potatoes should not have a place
in it, The market potato is just as
good as the home grown product
which cannot be said about
lettuce. radishes and other perishable
vegetables. If the space TO be devoted
to gardening is limited. it is better
to plant it in some other crops than
the staple Irish potato.

Berlin. July l6.-Before leaving for
his annual cruise in the Norwegian
skerries the Kaiser directed the Prus,
sian Minister Of Public WORKS ano
Railways 70 make an especial STUDY or
a great canal scheme when Wouiu
achieve no less an object than link the
Rhine 10 the North Sea by an ail-Ger-
man route. German public opinion mas
for many years favored such scheme
although il would cost at first glance
some $4,000. 900 TO complete, and now
that the Emperor William Canal, INK
ing the North Sea 70 the Baltic. and
the Hohenzollern Canal, linking Berlin
10 the Baltic. are completed and eN-
plotted. the CologneEmden Canal
would successfully complete the reaiI-
cation of canal policy which the
Kaiser outlined twenty-five years ago
shortly after his accession.
Germany's industry, which centres IN
the Rhine provinces. has developed
hundredfold within the last fifteen
wears and has become one OF the great
national sources of wealth. Whie
Germans only imported coal and en-
gines formerly. they export them
heavily now, and their export trade Is
severely limited by the fact that the
great waterway of the Rhine does not
run 70 the North Sea across German
soil. but over Holland.
Il Is therefore contended that 10
would be highly advantageous 20 Ger
many's trade 70 build a canal starting
az Cologne or Dusseldorf and running
straight through 20 Emden, the Prus-
sian North Sea harbOr which IS the
nearest 10 England or America. That
waterway would be about $50 miles
long and would be built so that II
could accommodate the largest freight
ships. Il Is believed that these vessels
would not only gain considerable time
in plying over the Cologne Emden
canal. but the shipowners would econ
omize millions OF marks every year IN
custom duties and other dues which
are paid now 20 the Dutch authorities
The new canal would shorten the
trip from Cologne 10 any Norwegian
or Swedish port by eighteen 20 twenty
hours. and would naturally have
most favorable influence over tie Ger
man EXPORT trade into the Scandina-
Wan kingdoms. which Is now progress
ing very slowly and in which the
Kaiser is personally deeply interested
Several conferences have taken place
recently in Berlin regarding the "Em-
den-Cologne canal possibilities. ard !
understand that the few objections to
the scheme have been outweighe By
the manifold and truly national ad-
vantages. The chief objection Is the
expenditure. but it is thought that II
will easily be met by the means OF a
new provincial loan. The Kaiser mas
ordered Minister Won Breitenbach. the
Prussian Minister of Railways. 20 re-
port 10 him in Ballestrand, Norway,
on the progress OF the new canal
scheme.
II is supposed that in the event OF the
works beginning in the coming tall
the canal would be ready for use with
in less than three years.
