ment of the Il per cent reduction were
carried to surplus Instead OF pelng ols-
bursed as dividends.

Here the low down wagon with a plat
form, will save many backaching
lift.
If the tubers are to be pitted, have
the pits on high part of the field. Dig
a circular hole about a foot deep. put
in a good layer of straw and pour po-
tatoes in cone-shaped heap on it.
Cover with straw and boards, or a lit
tie earth, and add more earth as the
weather grows cooler. rather like
small pits, say SO bushels. If the land
is wet, drainage from the bottom of
the pit is necessary.
If the crop is to be stored in the Gel
lar, the handiest arrangement is
troughlike chute, with roller car upon
which to set the crate to roll from
wagon to cellar. Never roll potatoes
down chute If enough crates are at
hand, they may be used to store the
crops, or bins and barrels will answer.
If fair price can be secured when
the tubers are dug, much labor will
be saved by delivering directly to the
car. also much ;oss by shrinkage.-A. A.

ternate blight of the potato. The leaf
stalks and vines are also affected. The
blight Is caused by a fungus, which
may at least be checked by spraying
with bordeaux
The first application should be made
when the vines are from twelve to
eighteen inches long, and then every
two weeks during the season.
The bordeaux mixture should be OF
the usual strength--six pounds OF
bluestone and six pounds OF lime to
fifty gallons Of water.
The greatest care must be taken to
get down on the under side Of the
leaves with the spray.

ATTENTION AT FoALIMG TIME
Nothing Better Than Alfalfa or Glover
Hay and Bran for Rich Bone
Forming Material.

It is undoubtedly the best practice
to work the mare regularly until with
in two weeks of foaling time After
that make the work lighter but keep
mp the exercise. The mare at this time
requires more feed than otherwise.
and it should be rich in bone-forming
matter. There is nothing better than
alfalfa or clover hay and bran. At
this time corn should form at least
one-third of the ration, never more,
and oats one-third.
At foaling time cleanliness and
Quietness are two most important re-
QuiGites. If previous to pasture time.
a comfortable, roomy box stall should
be provided. This. however, should be
thoroughly disinfected. as should be
the bedding which is placed In It,
It is very important that the colt
should be nursed after birth. For ten
days after foaling It Is very advisable
not to work the mare, but simply to
exercise her. The colt should not fol-
low the mare while she is at work. as
this is too hard for the colt and does
not do the mare any good.

Irish sneed.

In Judge McKinley's court they we're
examining talesmen for the trial of a
boy, who had killed his father. The
lawyers dwelt mostly on the facts Of
marriage. paternity and whether there
had been insanity in the families of
the men under examination.
When they got around to Michael
Mccarthy the wait had been long and
he proceeded to whip up.
Asked the first question he galloped
away with this:
"My name is Michael Mccarthy and
live at 1886 Fulton street and am
thirty-fiye years old and / am married
and have one child and | have never
had any insanity in the family and if
had wouldn't be fool enough to tell
you."

PICKED UP in POULTRY YARD.

The fowls will need plenty of green
stun from now until grass comes
celery tops, cabbages. cut clover or
ground alfalfa. lls
They must have some meat substi'
tute for The worms and bugs which
they will get on range later-beef
scraps, green cut bone or meat meal.
Keep plenty of pure water before
the fowls every day all the time. Scald
the drinking vessels two or three
times a week.
It is downright cruelty to chickens
to confine them with turkeys, as many
of them will be killed by the larger
birds. at
Piercing winds of March and April
are very hard on the fowls. and every
crack in the poultry house should be
made tight. leaving, of course, perfect
ventilation near the top
Never allow the laying hens, or In
fact any poultry, to stand around on
daED, cold floors. Straw, char or
leaves are cheap.
Some people say they have had good
success by feeding corn exclusively,
but It is fact that hens cannot thrive
on this feed many months at time.
Always remember that skim milk Is
hard to beat in the feeding ration.

carriage of Garden. the hauteur Of

Psychology Of Practice.

The question OF short versus long
periods OF practice In training the hui
man muscles for any particular kind
of work is obviously one having far
reaching application. Some interest
ing experiments on this subject have
been carried out by DR.. X. S. Lashley
of Johns Hopkins university. Acquisi-
tion of skill in archery was selected
as the subject of observation. Twenty
unframed persons were divided into
three groups. One group shot five
arrows with the English longbow per
day; another, twenty shots per day;
and the third, forty shots. The re-
suits showed conclusively that the
group shooting only FIVE times day
improved in accuracy with less ex-
penditure of time in practice than was
required by either of the other groups
for the same amount of Improvement.
A report on the experiments says:
sThe relatively greater efficiency Of
short periods of practice continuing
for many days is in accordance with
the results of the study of animals
and of speech habits in man. and in
dicates that in training to muscular
feats, in both animals and men. the
length OF practice periods required is
usually too great for maximum eff
ficiency. Scientific American.
