The framework of the hOtbed and the
ground around it should then be thor
oughly soaked with solution of for
maldehyde made by mixing one pint
of formalin and 80 gallons OF water.
An alternative solution may be made
by dissolving one pound of copper sui
phate In 25 gallons Of water. Which
ever solution is used, 1t is advisable
that the treatment be repeated after
about twenty-fous hours. The fresh
soil. preferably sand, for the hotbed,
should be obtained from some place
where sweet potatoes have never been
grown. A high spot in the woods is
excellent for The purpose. The upper
six inches of the soil should be thrown
away and only the subsoil used. The
same implements used to handle and
haul away the old dirt should not be
used for the new soil unless they have
been cleaned and disinfected with a
solution of either formaiin or corro-
sive sublimate.
An additional precaution is to cook
all decayed or diseased potatoes be-
fore feeding them to stock, and never
to throw them in the yard. II this Is
neglected, disease may find its way
to the hotbed through the medium OF
stable manure.

unlimited financial aid, have been

struction have not been made public,
it is understood that the new craft
will be equipped with six 12-cylinder
motors Of 800 horsepower each, giving
a total power to the airship of 1900
horsepower.
This power, it is believed, will be
easily capable of sending the America

an hour.
In addition to attaining the highest
speed yet reached by any large air
craft, the America will be enabled by

of energy and vigor in his make up

From past experience the husband
knows that il he does tell the truth
she will not believe 1t, SO he does not
answer. He thrusts his hands in his
pocket, whistles an old love tune and
looks out.
. The very girl they have been speak

glad that his wife is not at the win
dow to see her. He Is ashamed that
he ever imagined he cared enough for
that girl to call upon her second
time, let alone for some six months
She was giddy then. She is far gid
dier now. Her loud laugh. as she talks
with her companions, causes the peo-
pie to turn round and stare at her.
She was slender then; she Is plump
now, aye. actually fat. Her shoes
are run off at the heel. The small
hat on her immense head makes her
look grotesque. In days gone by he
had had great admiration for her red
cheeks. Now 1t does not need spec
tacles for anyone to see that they
are OF the bought variety instead Of
natures own.
He could have laughed aloud at the
foolishness OF wives who are jealous
of old sweethearts. They haven't the
least bit OF cause, he ruminates. Their
kisses and handclasps are forgotten
like last years snow or birdnote
that is lost upon the breeze. Once in
while a man may become enamored
of girl he has loved in bygone days.
But such instances are few and far
between. When the love chain is
snapped asunder, that's the end of
that romance. Rather than try to
mend it, most men would rather inter
est q new heart. Men always love
the last sweetheart the best and most
truly.
