POTATO CULTURE.
4 I>VT Medium - ' S)item For
WLieb Marb la ( laliucd,
"Happy Medium" Is the name be
stowed an Ohio Farmer writer on a
system of potato planting for wldch
claims are by no means small, as
may lie «een from the following:
The points of superiority which 1
claim over any other system are:
First tt&ptability te the different soils
Df tiu- sections wtlere potatoes are
grown, north or south; second, the
most perfect system for a change of
season to wet or dry weather and the
only one that will secure the most
profitable results In either case; third,
the most even crop of tubers and the
finest Quality; fourth, the system that
is in itself the most effective prevent
ive known for rot and blight and has
proven successful for 1.% years without
an exception.
The following illustration will make
plain the many principles of my meth
ods for hand planting, the use of the
hand potato planters or two horse im>
tatu planters. In the first figure, which
is a cross section, the plain line shows
the ground level. The straight -lotted
line Is three inches below. The seed
pieces are shown in the bottom of the
groove. The curved lines show the
ridging above the rows. Tlie ground
Is supposed to be thoroughly fitted and
either dragged level or floated till the
surface is even and smooth and in per
fect condition as to fineness of top soil
at least, always using a jointer plow
where there is a semblance of grass or
sod.
In sandy and loamy soil the seed is
planted three inches below general sur
face of ground. In clay soil depth of
planting is decreased to two Inches. In
each kind tin* soil is ridged along the
row to # height equal to the depth of
the seed below the general surface. I
plant early potatoes .'»<> by IS to .'SO inch
es; late varieties, by .'!<! Inches apart.
A ridge Is left by the two horse planter
directly over the seed of or inch
es of soil above the level, or about five
Inches above the seed piece. In all
forms hand planting we secure this
ridge by going through the field with
the wings or mold boards on the culti
vator several days after the planting
and before the potatoes appear.
The next operation Is the use of a
weeder or drag, and I much prefer a
drag with the teeth set shallow or
slanting enough not to disturb the seed,
for the reason that It does the work
more thoroughly at one operation and
should leave the field level once more
and free from weeds with the potato
sprouts Just appearing. Our latest ex-

pertinents Indicate that the use of a
harrow or weeder after the appearance
of the plants Is detrimental In some
cases and that the use of the cultivator
Is better.
The cultivators are started at once,
and the soil Is worked up fine between
the rows to a depth of two Inches be
low the seed piece, allowing the culti
vator teeth to run quite deep and close
to the roots, as shown In the second
figure. Rendering the soil loose around
and below the seed piece is the object,
as the first roots that form run right
around the seed piece and down to the
loose soil below. Now If this operation
Is performed quickly and thoroughly
the plant will Immediately throw out
n second and third set of roots that will
seek the lowest depth attained by the
cultivator and below, filling all the soil
under and around the seed piece very
full of small roots. This loosening of
the soli should be accomplished by the
time the potato tops are not over three
inches In height.
Two of the plants In l)i<' Hccond lig
ure Indicate tin- condition as It should
be at I lie time tin- plant makes Its first
appearance, showing the cultivator
teeth within about two Inches of the
weed piece and lielow the need piece
level. The third plant Indicates the
repetition of the first work at a time
when the plant IK from four to Mix
Inches high and at about the same dis
tance from the plant. Each cultivation
should be made narrower as the plan's
grow, so as to keep close to the roots
and yet avoid cutting or breaking
them.
Sif»« mill .Vote*.
Dirty need endangers the farm by
Introducing weed seeds. Low priced
seed Is often poor seed, and It Is then
far more expensive than a high priced
good seed. The price of seed per
pound or bushel Is no accurate uicas
ure of Its value. The true value Is
found by testing the sample and thus
determining the per cent of good seed
present.

THE WIND AT THE DOOR.
Often to my door
Cgxiu-s a twilight visitor.
When the mountain summer day
From our valley takes his way.
And the Journeying shadows stride
Cher the grrcu mountain side,
Down the clove among the tress
Moves the ghostly wandering treex®.
With the first stars on the crest
And the pale light in the »e«t
lie comes up the dark ravine
Where no traveler is seen.
Yet his coming makes a stir
In the house of Ash and Fir.
"Master, is't in our abode
You will tarry on the read?"
"Nay, 1 like your roof tree well.
But with you I may not dwell."
Birches whisper at their sill ,
As he (asses up the hill,
••Strangt-r, underneath our boughi
There is ample room to house."
"Friends, I have another quest
Than your cool abiding rest."
And the fluttering Aspen knows
Whose step by her doorway goe»—
"H#nor, lord, 'Jiy silver tree
And the chamber laid for thee."
"Nay, I must be faring on.
For tonight 1 seek my own.
Breath of the red dust is he
And a wayfarer like me;
Here a moment and then lost
On a trail confused and crossed.
And I gently would surprise
Recognition in his eyes;
Touch his haml and talk with kiA
When the forest light is dim,
Tskmg counsel with the lord
Of the utterable word."
Hark, did you hear some one try
The west window furtively
And then move among the leaves
In the shadow of the caves?
The reed curtain at the door
Rustled; there's my visitor
Who comes searching for his kin.
"Enter, brother, I'm within."
—Bliss Carman in Scribnsr's.
SHORT LIVED COMPLIMENT.
Archibald Forbes' Experience Wltk
a Colored Cabman.
There is a delightfully human story
which Archibald Forbes, the famous
war correspondent, told, rather at his
own expense, of his gratification at
the apparent desire of the "man and
brother" for higher intellectual cul
ture. On arriving at the station at
West Chester, Pa., where he was to
lecture, a colored cabman, it is said,
offered his services to convey him to
his hotel. When he got there, Mr.
Forbes asked the extent of remunera
tion expected for th« journey. The
darky replied:
"Well, sah, if you'd jes' give me a
ticket to de lectur', sah, I should be
right glad."
This unusual request from a cabman
struck him not only as singular and
laudable, but as quite complimentary
to him, so he said:
"Certainly. And havwn't you got a
missis?"
"Oh, yes, sab; I'se got a missis!"
"Well, you shall have one for her."
And he requested his agent to hand
to the knowledge seeker the requisite
passes for the entertainment. On
reaching the lecture room he cast a
glance over the audience to see his col
ored friend, but he had not arrived,
nor did he put in an appearance. Next
morning, on getting into the same
man's vehicle to go to the station, Mr.
Forbes said:
"I didn't see you at the lectur* last
night."
"No, sah; 1 we' not dar."
"Itut, you know, I gave you tickets
for yourself and wife."
"Yes, sah; I know that, sah, but you
see, sah, I jes' sold dem tickets for sl,
sah, 'cause I'd rather hab de cash,
sah."—Philadelphia Call.
Ills Homidnhont Way.
A man was going home to his wife
and family. It was growing dark. His
road from the station was a lonely
one, and he was getting along as fast
as he could when he suddenly suspect
ed that a man behind him was follow
ing him purposely. The faster he went
the faster the man went until they
came ton graveyard.
"Now," in- said to himself, "I'll find
if lie's after me." And he entered the
churchyard.
The man followed him. Vague visions
of revolvers and garroters grew upon
him. lie made a detour of a splendid
mausoleum. I till the man was after
him, round and round-
At hist li<- turned and faced the fel
low and asked: "What the dickens do
you want? What are you following
me for?"
"Weil, sir, do you always go home
like this? I am going up to Mr.
Brown's house with a parcel, and the
porter at tin- station told me that if I'd
follow you 1 should find the place, as
you live next door. Are you going
home at all tonight?"— Columbian.

A flat dweller returned home the oth
er Thursday afternoon to Ilnd under
her door a card, "Miss Mary X. Chis
holm."
"Who can she be and what did siie
want?" speculated the flat dweller to
herself. "I don't know any Miss Mary
X. Chlsholm." The mystery remained
unsolved until the return of the flat
dweller's negro maid from her "after
noon out." "She am u luily fren of
mine," explained the uiald, grinning at
the card, which In engraving and all
other respects was Irreproachable.
"Hln- Iff her cyard under de do' when

Adds His Evidence
STORY IS THE SAMU AS FROM

Lots of Money Spent but no Returns

The people in Pennsylvania willingly
dd their evidence to that which has ttl
ready been given in favor of Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids, the best remedy that has
ever been sold in this state for backache,
kidney and urinary disorder*, sleepless
ness ami nervousness. Our druggists re
port wonderful cures and state that Kid
ne-oids are daily increasing in the opin
ion of our jK-ople Kid-ne-oids act di
rectly uiKiii tin- kidneys and nerves and
restore them to their natural condition.
C.ood kidnexa make good blood, (rood
blood makes strong nerves, Kid-ne oi ds
make goo' 1 kidneys and strong nerves .
Mr. John IJeightol, 123 Du Hois street'
Dll IJois, l'a., says: For years I wan
troubled with kidney disorders, and dur
ing tlii* time I tried different kinds of kid
ney remedies, but neyer found anything
that gave me relief like Morrow's Kid
nc-oids. IJefore Isking Kid ne-olds I
suffered with a dull heavy pain in the
small of my back which would be fre
<|tie 11 ted by a sharp shooting l»siu just over
the kidney extending up tin* npitje to
the shoulders, also urinary disturbance
of an annoying nature Since taking
Kid ne-oids tli.-y have relieved me of
thesV trouble . and I am feeling better in
every resjiect. I will continue to take
Kid lie olds."
