ELIMINATE DEAD EYES h
BY DOUBLE PLANTING
OF POTATO SEED

II know of just one practice that ma,
help cut the seed potato bill in ths
long run to man who Is planning to
plant spuds in his home garden" sayt
the experiment truck crops man at
Iowa State college. THAT Is to test
all plants"
BY testing" his seed the gardener
may be sure that every piece he plants
will produce. thus eliminating dead
hills and in the end saving money.
Here's the way to test: Il
Pack the potatoes, seed end up, In
q tight mass in wooden box. Cover
with damp sand and cover this with q
damp cloth. In a few days the pota-
toes will sprout. AS soon as they be-
gin to sprout. remove the cloth and ex-
pose them to the light as the sprouts
will stop growing and harden. When
ready to plant. cut the potatoes In
pieces, one sprout to a piece. Dead
eyes will not have sprouted and should
be thrown away. This practice means
earlier potatoes for the sprouting pro-
cess has been started already.
Plant soon as the ground is warn,

MONSTER OF MOUNTAINS.
Mt. Mckinley, Our Newest National
Park, an Amazing Spectacle.

The national park in Alaska, which
congress created last spring, is one OF
the monster spectacles of the world To
say that it rises 2O,300 feet above sea
level and that il is the loftiest peak i'll
America is to convey no idea whatever
OF its grandeur. There are several noun
tains in the IImaayas which materially
exceed its height, one which rises more
han - 600 feet above sea level: and vet
Mt Mckinley, to the observer, is loftier
than any of these.
The reason is that the greatest Him
.alayas are seen from valleys 1000 to
10000 feet in altitude, while Mt. Me
kinlev rises abruptly from valleys 5000
feet and even less in altitude. The Wis
itor to the Mt Mckinley National Park
Will look up more than Il 900 feet to
the double peak, the upper $4,000 feet of
which are covered with perpetual snow
This enormous mass is the climax of
he great Alaskan range, which extends
roughly east and west across Southeast
Central Alaska, separating the vast
northern inland from the more populated
country whose shores are the Gulf OF
Alaska. The range parallels the mighty
Yukon many miles to its south.
The reservation contains 1900 square
miles. Its northern slopes, which over
look the Tanana watershed with its gold
mining industry, are broad valleys in
habited by enormous herds of caribou
Its southern plateau is a perpetual win
ter wilderness through which glaciers
of great length and enormous bulk flow
into the valleys of the south. In this
national park, which the railroad now
building by the government into the
Alaskan interior will open presently tc
the public, America possesses Alpine
scenery upon a titanic scale.

The Darky and the Mule.

Many believe that there is a hidden
analogy between a darby and mule.
Southern darkies are prOverbial for
their skill in handling mules. There
is a cOmradeship between them that
has led some scientists to suspect a
natural affinity. This is a genuine case
of heredity, not on the part of the
mule but the driver. For a hundred
years, perhaps, the males of that col
ored family have been mule drivers
