Potato Champions Method.

A 15-year-old Utah boy raised a
crop OF potatoes valued at SlS7.77 on
one-half acre last year, his net profits
being S141.0I. This boy is Howard
Dalton, of Willard City, Utah, and is
the boy champion potato grower Of
that State. A brief summary of the
methods he followed in growing this
large yield are given below: The
seed potatoes used were Idaho Ru-
rails and were treated with the usual
formaldehyde solution to prevent
scab. The soil was prepared March
20 to 80 by covering with eight tons
of wet manure, plowing ten inches
deep, narrowing three or four times
with a spring tooth harrow and
dragging to get a perfect seed bed.
Seed was planted April Is, four
inches deep, in rows 80 inches apart,
and seed pieces IL inches apart. The
piece was narrowed with a spike
tooth harrow May 5 and -, and cul-
tivated and hoed May 26. The first
watering was given June 25, just as
the vines were blossoming and two
other waterings July 5 and July 20.
No cultivation was given after the
second watering as the vines were so
large that they could not be worked
without being disturbed. The crop
was harvested October 13, IA and
Is, and yielded $50 bushels Of mar
ketable potatoes on the half acre.

Good Morning."

The apostles of cheerfulness and
kindness are abroad once more.
Good Morning" and Good Evening
clubs are organizing in cities of the
west, with the purpose Of expelling
the chilly indifference which exists
between men who meet each other
day after day on the streets, in cars,
in ffices. etc., and yet who have never
formed the pleasant habit Of giving
a smiling nod of recognition. We are
familiar with the condition of things
which stir this latest sense Of good
fellowship. In every residence neigh
borhood there are men who always
take the same street cars downtown
in the morning and frequently the
same cars back at night. These same
masculine atoms gather day after day
and look at each other with dead
fish eyes until the situation hrst be-
comes embarrassing and then hate
full. Yet many of these atoms only
require the presence Of another atom
the Good Morning" atom-when,
presto! the magic effect of social un-
bending is seen in chummy group
of friends, molecule Of neighborli-
ness. All men of similar interests
are pretty much alike. Once the
crust Of formality is broken. almost
any group of men may be friendly.
Men become reserved. not to say sus-
picious, by force of habit. 1t IS an
unfortunate and unjustitlable haolt
and often leads to development OF
that unspeakable community NUS
ance-the neighborhood crouch. II
men would more often risk the
chance of a pleasant word of greeting
to the stranger it is certain that many
a man would arrive at his offlce IN
happier mood, and at the end of the
year would have more friends than
: if he had just passed along engrosseo
in himself.-Haverhill Gazette.

Bulgarian Character.

The Bulgarians are nominally
classed as Slavs. So they are-part-
ly. Yet the world too often forgets
that the primitive Bulgarians were
not Slavs at all. but an Asiatic peo-
pie of Turanian stock who in the
seventh century burst upon the prim-
tive Slavs recently migrated south
of the Danube and settled down as
masters, writes T. Lothrop Stoddard,
in the June Century. Less numerous
than their subjects, the conquerors
were soon absorbed, losing their
speech and peculiar identity. Never
theless, the blood was potent one,
for these Turanian Bulgars left be-
hind far more than their name; they
stamped upon the new folk traits
which set it distinctly apart in the
category of Slav peoples. A mo-
meat's analysis will clearly prove
this. Your typical Slav, whether he
dwell on the Russian plains or the
Serbian hills, is an idealist, prone to
lose sight of hard facts in day
dreams. Capable of great accom-
plishment when under the stimuli of
his enthusiasms, in ordinary times
the Slav is an easy-going. improvi-
dent, open-handed person, essential
ly likeable, but lacking that practical
characteristic, efficiency. How diff
ferent the Bulgarian. Restrained,
sober, dour: with occasional out
bursts of passion, but usually taking
even his pleasures sadly; intensely
practical and hard-headed: without
trace of mysticism; frugal to the
point of avarice; so solicitous about
the future that this frequently be-
comes an obsession; above all, pos
sessed of dogged, plodding. almost
ferocious energy translating itself
normally into unremitting labor
such is the folk. THE Bulgar on
his OK cart" says the proverb, "pur-
sues the hare. and overtakes it" ~

THE FAITHFUL TOAD.
One Weather Prophet That You Can
Always Depend Upon.

Our friend. the almanac, for We
still regard it as friendly, although
it has deceived us once or twice, ad-
vises us that it is warmer, that We
are having showers and that the
long, low trill of the toad-yes, the
common garden toad-joins the
shrill staccato peeping of the hylas. !"
We are aware of the fact that it is
warmer and that we have had a
shower or two, but we are relieved
to hear that the toad is coming.
Most of the seed is planted, and the
sweet peas have sprouted, but we
shall not feel that everything is
quite as it should be, until the toad
arrives to take charge of the garden.
There is nobody else we would trust
it to, nobody else too ugly to be jeal-
Gus of the flowers, too stupid to be
selfish and too lazy to be discontent-
ed There is nobody else wise
enough to eat the harmful insects,
patient enough to wait for sprink-
ling time. generous enough to love
every plant. 1t is ridiculous that
some folks prefer the toad's fashy
cousin, the frog. Not long ago the
question was discussed in one Of the
magazines, and We were asked what
gave us our sense of loathing for
the garden toad, while the frog,
which did nothing but play the dan
dy braggart, was uniformly treated
as a good fellow. "If the toad gulped
and croaked all night long," We were
asked, "and made his home in Shiny
pools instead of in the melon patch,
would they reverse their present Or
der in our esteem?" 1t seems a
foolish question or at least a ques-
ton directed to foolish people. The
only thing a frog is good for is fish
ing bait, and there is nothing very
glorious about that. Inose OF US
who have gardens have never thought
of putting Mr.. Toad, our chief Of po-
lice, in the same class with the va
grant frog. II toad does not find
our garden We go out and find toad.
At least one man is known to have
stolen his neighbor's toad and a
number of toads have been brought
in from the woods and placed in a
residence under a cabbage leaf. 1t
is to be hoped that the almanac is
right this time and that We can soon
turn our gardens over to our faith
full Mr.. Toad.-Indianapo News.

"Life's Handicap"

Lord Saye and Seie, who has been
appointed commandant to the Gold
er's Green volunteer train corps, is
a strong opponent of Votes for Wo-
men, apropos of which fact he has
told an amusing story:
He once attended a book dinner, at
which all the guests were, expected
to appear with an emblem denoting
the title Of book.
Lord Saye and Sele went in ordi-
nary evening dress, but carried a
lady's petticoat under his arm.
No one could guess what book he
represented, but when he told them,
every one was greatly amused.
His lordship's emblem represented
Kipling's famous book "Life's Handi-
cap"
His lordship won the first prize.

drinks and never swears-indeed, he
has no bad habits.
Does he never smoke?" someone
asked.
Yes. He likes a cigar just after

suppose, on an average. he doesn't t
smoke more than once month.
Some of her friends laughed, but
she didn't seem to understand why.

dry quickly on the paper, but not \on
the rollers, besides which, it must be
proof against the effect Of time.
In the manufacture of the COM
mon black ink lampblack and carbon
black are the most common pig
ments. They are really the same
thing, that is. finely divided carbon.
but differ in the process Of manu-
facture. Sometimes little indigo
or Prussian blue is also employed
with the carbon. For. wood engrav-
ing carbon and ivory black, or a
very fine bone black. known as
Frankfort black, are mixed. In lith-
ographic reproductions Paris black
is used.
The ingredients in colored inks in
clude some chemically made colors,
such as vermillion, Prussian or
bronze blue, chrome yellow and ul-
tramarine blue. The lake" pig
ments. made by precipitating coal
tar dyestuff on a metallic base, pro-
duce colors of greater brilliance and
extreme fineness Of texture. Natural
earth colors are not used so much
as formerly, their shades being now
matched in the lake" colors.
Red ink is made with carmine or
cochineal, and in cheap inks, red
lead, but it rapidly blackens, and is
consequently unsuitable for perma-
nent work. Blue inks are made
from indigo or Prussian blue, yellow
with lead chromate or yellow ochre,
green and purple by mixing yellow
and blue, and red and blue, respect
lively.
The only white ink sufficiently
Opaque to appear white on a dark
surface is made from white lead.
Tints and light tones of the various
colors are made by mixing the colors
with zinc white or another transpar-
ent base, such as magnesia or blanc
fxe. II
Ink-making machinery consists of
several types of mixing machines,
with which the medium and dry COL
or are first roughly mixed together,
and mills on which the mass is
thoroughly ground. The type Of ma
chine used depends upon the char
acter of the ingredients and the re-
suit desired. Ink for use on soft ab-
sorbent paper, such as news ink,
requires very little grinding and no
mixing, while other va
rieties are not only run over the
mixer, but receive repeated grinding
on roller mills.
The numerous processes for which
printing inks are made and the varie-
ty of conditions under which they
are employed neccessitate individual
in determining the es-
sential qualities demanded. The
speed OF the press, the sort Of paper
stock to be used. the character of
the form or printing plates, the pro-
cess employed, and many other tech
nical points must all be taken into
consideration by the ink-maker.
