BORING Thin Glass.
lines:

Everybody who has tried under
stands how difficult it is to bore a
hole in a strip Of thin glass. The fol-
lowing method is said to be vary sue
cessful: Press a cake of wet clay
upon the glass and then mako a hole
through the clay of the desired size,
laying bare the glass at the bottom
of the hole. Then pour melted lead
into the hole, and it will drop through
the glass, making a rough aperture
The explanation is that the sudden
application of heat cracks the glass
in a circle corresponding in size with
the hole in the clay.-New York Trib

APoTA1O KING

sIf ! were a farmer boy, or q boy witt
out capital, and wanted an early compe-
tency. I'd start right out growing Pota-
toes said Henry Schroeder, the Potato
king Of the Red River Valley, whose story
in the John A. Salzer Seed Co.'s Catalogue
reads stranger than a romance.
That advice of Mr.. ~Schroeder's, the self
made Potato king, comes from a warm
heart, a level head, an active hand, and
above all, a successful Potato grower.
