MorTfses on motor trip and dined at
one Of the suburbs. He did not get
home until afterstwo o'clock, and, al
though I could not see that he was
under the influence of liquor, yet his,
breath was laden with the fumes of
wine.
He made q lot of noise coming in,
and when I opened my eyes he did
not ask me if l were still sick, but
began to tell me what a splendid time
he had had; how stunning Mrs. Nor

The soil for potatoes should be or

/ Plowed-over turf land gives poor crops,l
for it is infested with the wireworm
and the May beetle.
In fertiliaing potatoes the amount
and the kind should be governed
somewhat by local conditions. have
found in my practise that about six
hundred pounds, consisting of ESQ.,
pounds Of nitrate Of soda, 200 pounds
of acid phosphate and 100 pounds of
muriate OF pyasl Is the maximum
mixture for the most economical rel
suits, says a writer in an exchange.
THIS material should be sewn broad
cast a couple Of weeks before plant-j
dng, and wen narrowed into the soil.i
Cultivation should begin even be-
fore the plants are UP from the
ground to loosen up the SOIL to pre-
vent the moisture from evaporating,
and to free the field of weeds. When
the potato sprout comes up and the!
plant increases in size, the field should
be gone over continually with a fine
spiketooth harrow until it is impossi1
BILE for the horse and narrowing ma
chine to go on the field without dam

Potato bugs and blight are the,
greatest enemies of the crop. The,
best spraying chemical for the bugs
is arsenate Of lead which gives better
results than paris green and is not SO,
inconvenient and dangerous to ham
die.
The blight can be guarded against
by constant spraying, especially DUR
