BRUSSELS SPROUTS. 'As Easy to Grow as Cabbage and More Profitable. Anyone who can prow cabbage can prow Brussels sprouts. Everyone who likes cabbage will like brussels sprouts better. But the same carelessness that produces woody, rank-flavored cabbage will have a like effect on Vrussels sprouts. Yet people who .give the plant a fair trial in the gar den and the kitchen sOon swell the fanks of the lovers of this popular .Vegetable. I Any garden soil tiiat will grow good Typical Brussels Sprouts. cabbage can be relied upon to pro duce good sprouts. An ample supply of humus and nitrogenous food in the Boil is desirable as in the case of any other leaf crops. The seed may be sown at the same time and in the tame way as cabbage seed. For very early crops it may be sown in a cold frame in late fall, protected during winter with mats or shutters, and the piants set out. as early in the spring as the ground can be worked. For second early, says Orange Judd Farmer, it may be sown in early spring and transplanted in April. Hut p'nce the plant makes most delicate ly flavored heads during cool weath r the most popular time of sowing is ur.?. When thus grown the young plants are sot out. in the gardi n 3x2 feet apart at six weeks old and given clean cultivation for six weeks. From Sep tember until hard freezing they need ' little or EO attention unless the sea eon Le very dry. In such cases liberal watering will improve the quality and quantity of the sprouts. The bulk of the picking ts dene between October and Decem ber, though in mild winters, especial ly in the middle sections and in the southern states, some may be gath ered until March and even April. LEAF CURL IN POTATOES. Can Ee Prevented by Handling of Po tatoes Before Planting. To prevent leaf curl in potatoes do ■ot expose the tubers en dry sheives '1 the winter where they are likely o fluctuate with external conditions, and thus lose a certain amount of moisture after every frost when the temperature rises outside again. Instead, pie the tubers down for the winter, exclude air and thus pre vent shriveling, which is a greater evil than the loss of a sprout. Allow sufficient time to elapse be fore covering for the winter, so that heat Is not generated when a quan tity is placed together; this in regu lated according to the soil and the kind of weather in lifting time. Never use .lie well-netted high'.y tubers for planting purposes. Plant much later for stock purposes, ore especially if you persist in re anting your own produce. This ap liesv. to all soils, only doubly so to /oor, dry, sandy land. 1 do not think, says a writer in Farrfter's Voice, anyone can realize the Importance of planting unripened tubers for giving increased vigor un less they themselves set to work and test it. Earth, plaster, cement or brick floors are far better than dry boarded floors for storing upon, because they are colder. If the tubers are not pied down, coid underground cellers are the best places to store in for the winter. Planting a Few Cowp'as. For a small crop I find the follow ing method very good: First turn your ground in the winter, so it can mel low up. Then take the double plow. A'lth ! inch plows, and crossbreal; :arly in May, or before weeds begin o come up. About May 10 or In take your double plow with 4-inch plow s, and let a good, fast dropper go behind u-.o plow and drop the seed in the .as' furiow. Then the man tfitli the i low comes along and covers, and at the same time lays olf another row. When tho vines get large enough to plow use the plow with the 3 inch plows and run once in a row. Give them about two plowings and in u reasonably good season you will BUILDING WIRE FENCES. How One Man Can Put It Up and Stretch It Himself. One man can build a wire fence un assisted if he has a chance to drive a horse with a pair of front wheels near to the fence. Put an iron rod about two feet long, or a crowbar, through the holes in the wire reel and let it go down in the hole where the rocker bolt goes through the axle. Fasten one end of the wire to a post or tree where you wish to start from, then drive the horse as near to the posts as convenient, and in most cases you need not stop, unless the wire catches, until you have run out a whole reel. Then fasten the wire around the axle, tie a rope about ten feet from the axle and bring it around a post or tree. Start the horse, and when you get a hard strain on the wire fasten the rope to hold it. You will need a steady horse, as one that does not pull steadily is liable to break the wire. After the wire is stretched, savs Farm and Home, and made fast by the rope start with hammer and staple* where you first fastened it. Lift it 1V& feet or more from the ground, and go along to each post and drive your staple about half way in until you reach the end. If the posts are not on a straight line you may have to slacken the wire, otherwise you may have ti draw a strain on it tho second time. Siart again at the further end and drive tho staples in light. In putting up the next two wire 3 proceed in the same way and spread them apart the length of your hammer handle on each post and you will have a fence that no cow can get through,' and if they go over a fence of that height they are only fit for the beef barrel. SOIL FOR POTATOES. Characteristics of the Ground Best Adapted to the Tuber. The success of the potato crop de rends very much upon the texture of the soil in which the potatoes are planted. It is a fact well understood by many farmers that there are many soils on which potatoes do not do well. A too heavy, compact clay does not permit the potatoes to develop to advantage. It may be, too, that in such a soil the organisms that elab orate food do not have the same op portunity to secure air and therefore the carbon with which to work. On the other hand, a too loamy soil, a soil with too much of humus, does not give a large enough tuber, as re lated to the top. The best soils seem to be those that have been created by the southward movement of the great glaciers, which ground to atoms the stones taken from northern lati tudes and made a soil that was just loose enough to permit the air to work downward without drying oat the films of moisture surrounding the soil particles. At the same time such a s 11 permits tlie ea<?y penetration of .he roots of the potatoes. A good potato soil is frequently in clined to rockiness, the rocks being the coarser remains of the glaciers that helped to make the soil. That the soil has an enormous influence on the successful growing of potatoes is abundantly proven by the way in which the crop succeeds in spots. Thus, in Wisconsin, there is a section of country near the middle of the state, a wedgeshaped piece, on which wonderful yields of potatoes have been obtained even in years when the crop generally was a failure.

Any available wheels may be used in the construction of the device shown in the accompanying illustra- Water Barrel on Wheels. tion. The axle, which is made of iron, can be bent close to the hub of tna wheels, so as to bring the barrel neai tho ground and thus facilitate the mat ter of handling the water, explains the Prairie Farmer. The platform can be made any desired size, large enough for two barrels if necessary. FARM JOTTINGS. The kitchen garden should be heav ily fertilized annually. If by bad management you now get behind with your work, it will crowd yoa all summer. A moderate application of manure, say, ten tons per acre, will for most crops give a greater profit than twice that quantity. Take the fishing pole on a drizzly day and get some trout.

"The traveler in Ireland will do well," recently remarked an attache to our embassy at London, "when he engages a jaunting car to make sure of the step to which, in mounting, he must trust his weight. The carman does not h 'lp him to mount. " 'I am afraid that step is loose," an American once said to the driver he had engaged. "The man took hold of the step and shook it. 'Ah! sure," said he, 'it's too slhrong, it is. What are ve afraid of?' "As he was talking, the thing came off in his hand. "This mishap did not, however, em barrass the Irishman, for, with the sunniest of smiles, he turned to his fare saying: " 'Shure, now, I've saved yer honor from a broken leg!'"—Harper's Weekly.

In a little church in Maryland, not far from Washington, the motive pow er for the organ comes from the strong arm of an industrious Irishman. During a recent service there the choir got. into trouble and, to cap the climax, during the confusion that en sued, the organ suddenly stopped. The situation was not greatly re lieved when there came floating out Into the auditorium a hoarse whisper: "Sing, all youse! Sing like the divil! De organ's busted.—lllustrated Sunday Magazine.

A Cleveland grocer has a long list of customers that have been helped in health by leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee. He says, regarding his own expe rience: "Two years ago I had been drinking coffee, and must say that I was almost wrecked in my nerves. "Particularly in the morning I was so irritable and upset that I could hardly wait until the coffee was served, and then 1 had no appetite for breakfast, and did not feel like at tending to my store duties. "One day my wife suggested that inasmuch as I was selling so much Postum there must be some merit in it and suggested that we try it. I took home a package and she pre pared it according to directions. The result was a very happy one. My nervousness gradually disappeared,and today lam all right. I would advise everyone afflicted In any way with nervousness or stomach troubles, to leave off cotfee and use Postum Food Coffee." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

"The Interpreter" in the American Magazine says of a respectful father I he once knew: "Isn't it time we took off our hats and thanked this pleasant land for the good things it has done for us by go ing on patiently covering up our blun ders, rectifying our mistakes, and re sponding cheerfully to our every in telligent effort? "I knew a man out west who had the right idea about it. His father had made a great fortune in the pork packing business. The heir was not puffed up by his millions. Long after he had grown accustomed to the money and might reasonably be ex pected to look down on butchers, if in walking in the country with his chil dren they saw a drove of hogs on the road, he would make his little boys stand at attention and take off their hats. 'I want them to respect the sources of wealth.' he said." SEVERE HEMORRHOIDS Sores, and Itching Eczema—Doctor Thought an Operation Necessary —Cuticura's Efficacy Proven.

He had been employed as a cook in a family in San Francisco. During many years he never failed to be at his post of duty. One morning, as usual, the family as sembled for breakfast, but John was nowhere to be seen, nor did he send word what had happened to him. After several weeks he re-appeared with the symptoms of a severe cold still cling ing to him. The master of the house greeted him by saying: "Well, John, we were wondering what had hap pened to you; but I see you have caught cold." John indignantly pro tested, saving: "Oh, no, sir; me no catchee coldie, me no such foolie; coldie comie to me." His Elusive Memory.
