SAVING SEED POTATOES
The cost Of seeding irish potatoes

The cost of seeding irish potatoes
can be greatly reduced, the garden
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture point out,
If, instead of using a whole potato
for planting, the gardener will cut
out from potatoes cone-shaped pieces
of flesh, each containing an eye OF
the potato. In this way only from
one-fourth to one-fifth of the flesh
of the potato will be needed to pro-
vide seed and the remainder OF the
potato can be cooked for table use.
These cones range from one-t1fth to
one seventh of an ounce in weight,
whereas, under the usual methods.
the sets range from three-fourths to
two ounces in weight. A gardener,
under ordinary conditions, Will get
hest results by using Is to IL bus
hels. or 900 to 1880 pounds OF po-
tatoes to the acre. This method OF
preparing sets, therefore, should
make available for table use over
CTS pounds of potato flesh, which,
under ordinary conditions would be
planted per acre.
To plant a plot oo ny loV loo1' VI
approximately one-ninth of an acre,
at the same rate of seeding, would
call for one and stwo-thirds to two
bushels of seed, planted in the ord1-
nary way. The method of using the
cones and eyes for seed and cooking
the remainder of the flesh, therefore,
becomes a worth while economy even
when a small area is to be planted.
Under this plan it is not necessary
to prepare the seed all at one time.
From day to day the cones for seed
ing can be cut from the potatoes
as they are being prepared for the
table. The cuttings then should be
spread out on a piece of paper in
a moderately cool room (about 81
degrees F.) and allowed to remain
there until they have cured; that is,
until the cut surface has become dry,
A day or two should suffice for this,
and potatoes then should be put IN
a shallow box or tray and placed
where it is still cooler Any storage
condition that will insure them
against frost on the one hand and
undue shriveIing on the other should
prove satisfactory.

Women Users Of Tobacco.

Smoking by women of the educated
class in England is so recent reviv-
al that we are rather apt to forget
that, taking the sex all the world over,
probably the majority smoke, and Of
those who do the pipe is the form OF
indulgence generally favored. In jap
an, for example, woman has smoked
ever since tobacco was introduced, and
invariably used the pipe Of metal with
the tiny bowl holding only sufficient
tobacco to provide'half dozen whiffs,
which was in universal use until the
cigarette entered Japan with other
western innovations. In our own
country, especially in Ireland, the
peasant woman is often to be seen
with pipe in her mouth, and 1t Is
generally clay.-London Chronicle.

WASHINGTON, d. C., Oct. "a
That the German civilian population
is gradually nearing the breaking
point which may eliminate in open re-
volt against the kaiserbund in the not
very distant future, is the prediction
of Pleasant Alexander Stoyall, U. 5.
minister to Switzerland.
In a communication to the state de-
partment, Minister Stoyall says Ger.
many is growing weary of the sacri-
fices she is being continually called
on to make in the conduct Of the war,
and the gnawing of hunger may drive
the populace to extreme measures
before long. .-.... '.--...z
"The German people," says the min
lister, are slowly beginning to realize
that the war is failure, though, de-
spite the general weakening of morale.
there is no immediate prospect u
peace. The food question is bad and
the general economic situation Is
rapidly growing worse"
