Late Irish Potatoes.

This is from Alabama: want to
plant an acre in Irish potatoes now,
and have very good piece Of bot
tom land. which was in oats and
peas las year, and in oats this year,

the best variety to plant now' Please
advise as to the preparation, fertiliza-
ton and planting there. "
The land should be deeply broken
and we'll pulverized. TlIen run out
deep furrows by going twice in the
fuuow, and apply 500 pounds an
acre in the furro@s Of a good high
grade fertilizer. Here where live
we have a sandy soil and ! use a
fertilizer made here that runs 2 per
cent ammonia, 8 per cent phosphoric
acid aud 10 per cent potash. In
your section | would assume that a
good 4.8-4 ready made fertilizer will
answer better. Put the fertilizer in
and mix it with the soil, either with
a bull tongue or by dragging a log
through the fuuows. Make the
funows three feet apart and plant
the potatoes. cut the two eyes, Is
inches apart in the rows. Cover
rather lightly at first and as they
grow work the soil to them till level
and then cultivate level and shallow
the object at this season being to
conserve moisture by getting the
potatoes deep in the ground and
keeping dust mulch on the surface.

True painting IS only an image Of

The Nations Output Of Minerals.

Washington, July lS.-Secretary
Lane. in an interview stated:
The Nations output Of minerll
products Of various kinds is a fair
measure OF industrial activity. For
several months now the Department
Of the Interior. through the GeoIopi.
cal Survey, has been issuing lis final
statistics Of the 1913 mineral pro.
duction which confirms in detail the
preliminary estimates issued early in
January for the principal minerals.
In the large majority Of cases these
authoritive figures tell in one way or
another the same story Of industrial
prosperity. In coal production the
increase has been general, and It is
this very fact that serves as an un.
mistakable index Of general health in
the industrial world. But State after
State Is shown to have had its ban
ner coal year-WeSt Virginia, Illinois,
Ohio, Kentucky. Alabama, Virginia.
Oklahoma, New Mexico, Montana,
Texas, Utah and Pennsylvania in
both bituminous and anthracite, the
record becomes spectacular. Ohio
for instance had iIs floods, yet there
was a substantial 6 per cent increase
in coal output, and the miners aver.
aged more working days in 1913
than in 1912. Twelve other States
showed increases varying from 3 per
cent in Iowa to II percent in Indiana
and over Is per cent in Washington,
and only Colorado, Maryland, North
Dakota, Nevada. Idaho, and Miss.
ouri showed decreased output, the
Colorado labor troubles explaining
the only significant decrease. Ina
similar way, the figures Of coke pro.
duction give large Increases, and
coke, It may be noted, is a step
dearer the metal industry. Petrol
cum production in 1913 exceeded all
records, an increase Of 25 million
barrels and u million dollars over
the 1912 returns.
In metal mining, the iron and zinc
mines had a banner year, while gold,
silver, lead and copper showed a de-
cline in many Of the largest pro-
ducting States. Structural materials
on the other hand exhibit marked
grains almost without exception.
Thus 1913 was the banner year for
cement, which gains more than IL
per cent over 1912, and record out
puts are also shown for lime, build.
ing sand and gravel, sand-lime
brick and glass sand. Other mineral
products for which 1913 was a
record-breaking year, are bauxite
and aluminium, suIphuric acid, field.
spar, mica, pottery, and tale and
soapstone, while substantial increases
are reported for gypsum, phosphate
rock, abTasiyes, barytes, slate and
salt. These production figures all
express well-maintained activity in
mines, smelter, furnace, and mil
and prove that the American people
are utilizing more Of the Nations
great natural resources than evel
before. A few weeks later wher
figures are at hand for all Of th'
mineral products, it is expected tina
1913 will be found to have overtop
ed both 1912 and 1913 which hay,
hitherto held the record"

MatrimOny Brings Out Best Or
Worst-Marriage For Reform
Called Mistake.
ny DOROTHY DIX.

In a recent article upon the perils
Of matrimony ! wrote these lines:
The only way to be happy,
though married, is to look before
youleap, instead Of crying, when It's
too late, over the bump you got. !"
A man writes. appropoS Of that
opinion, that he will give a large,
handsome chrome to anybody who
can furnish any practical diagram
for looking a man or woman over on
the safe side Of the altar so as to
avoid humping the matrimonial
bumps.
That's easy. OF course, nobody
is wise enough to be able to tell alb
solutely what sort Of a husband or
wife a man or woman will make, be-
cause matrimony is the acid test Of
character, and until it is applied to
an individual we never know for
certain what is pinchbeck and what
is pure gold.
DOES NOT CHANGE CHARACTER.
Matrimony doesn't change the
character Of men and women. Il
merely brings out what is strongest
in them. II turns good men and
women into angels, and it converts
bad men and women into devils,
and this being the case it doesn't
take any Sherlock Holmes to give a
pretty good guess as the kind Of
husband or wife any particular maid
or bachelor will make.
Take, for instance, the youth who
is lounger and a barroom loafer,
who hangs about poolrooms and
saloons and who has never done an
honest days work in his life, and
who spongeS on his old parents for
living. Can any girl give him the
once over without perceiving that he
will make the sort of husband who
will always be too tired to work,
and whose wife will have to take in
boarders to support himl
Take the drunkard. Does it re-
quire prophetic soul in a woman
to surmiSe that the man who has
found surcease for his worries in
drink before marriage is going to

The new Union Pacific freight
cars, which will be used in handling
the Kansas wheat crop, go through
every day now, most of them toward
the west. "Four thousand OF these
cars were put on the Kansas dtvi-

agent here says. II have noticed
many Of these cars go through, one
after the other, in serial order, show
ing that they have not been used
before but have been rushed straight
to Kansas to be available in moving
the wheat. Many Of the cars bear
the June stamp of the factories"
The new cars have q capacity Of
10000 pounds. They have steel ends
and are unusually stoutly construct
ed.
