I hats_ been asked how I prevent blight and any other potato diseases, and what my practice is when it comes to spry}4g. I never have to spray, and 1 h, lifts if my plan is followed it will not lie necessary, says A. Turner in the Weealy Witness. Briefly, my practice is as follows: portant to get the very best seed ob- tainable. I pick mine at digging time and never planta potato that show= the least signs or disease. All my seed potatoes are smooth, of good shape. and, so far as I can determine, they are absolutely free from scab or any disease to which potatoes are suuject,. In addition, I find that it never pa; 's to plant potatoes more than twice on the same ground. It is better to grow them only once. In this way 1 t:uve been able to keep my potatoes abs c:lute- ly free from disease, and, consequently have not been put to the expense and trouble of combating blight or any other potato pest.

Uric acid is an accumulation of poison which finds lodgment in the system First, I consider it exceedingly im- when the kidneys fail to remove it from the blood. In the kidneys and bladder it forme stones, in the joints and muscles it causes rheumatism. In any case the pain and suffering is almost beyond human e'•durance. Uricacidis prompt- ly removed from the system when the kidneys are k• pt healthy and active by using Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills. My soil is light, sandy loam, formerly covered with timber. I prefer a slight slope toward the south or east. The land will' tlien drain well. Potatoes should never be planted on soil that is not free from surplus moisture. I choose a clover sod and plow it very deeply in the fall. In the spring I put on whatever fertilizer I desire to use and begin harrowing and disking until the surface is thoroughly pulver- ized. I then "futrow out" with a one- horse shovel plow. placing the rows rise feet apart. I drop my potato seed by hand, planning to have the hills 14 inches apart. I cover with the culti- vator, and just as soon as the plants begin to appear above the ground I go over the field with the harrow. As goon as I can see the rows across the field I cultivate with a cultivator equipped with very small shovels, then follow with a six shovel cultivator just as I tail '.ntil the potatoes begin to bloom. Then I abandon the cultivator and use the hoe. In this way I keep down the weeds until digging time comes. In marketing I grade my rotatoes, separating the Large ones from the small ones, making two grades. In this way T secure the highest po.-;sible price for the large potatoes, and am then content to take what I can get for the little ones. I use a special potato fertil izer put out by a fertilizer concern. You can sec that my method involves nothing new or startling. I simply use good soil, have it plenty rich enough. cultavate thoroughly and often, keep down the weeds with a hoe, grade my potatoes, and in this way I am able to take prizes with my potatoes and al: o to secure good returns from my work, The Fleet of Columbus. In 1693 three little vessels, as far ;as possible a reproduction of the three diminutive craft with which Columbus sailed to discover America 500 y ears bef' re, were built in Spain and sent across the Atlantic and via the great akes to the World's Fair at Chicago, These vessels were the Santa Marie, the Pinta and the Mina. The first was 7t feet long, the second was 50 tons and the third 40. These vessels were towed across the ocean by Spanish and Ameri- can war vessels. An American sailor, who crossed on one of the vessels, in deseribirg his experiences, said: "As far as sea -faring goes our trip had much of the experience of that one 400 years before. We lived on canned goods and dried meats, We were only twenty days in crossing, a third of the time of Columbus. I do not know how Columbus' men prepared their food, but we were told by Genoese tradition they managed it as we did—with a galley fixed to the mainmast. We had a Japenese cook. Whenever he could keep the galley hitched to the mast and himself hitched to the galley we had something to eat that was warm. It was a pleasant experience except two days when we ran into weather that kicked up the sea. I don't see how Columbus ever managed it, I'll tell you that." The vessels remained idle at Chicago until a few months ago when they were refitted for the purpose of being taken to San Francisco for the Panama Ex- position of 1915. They left Chicago on the 1st and will be towed through the great lakes and St. Lawrence to the sea and thence to Panama. They ex- pect to pass through the Panama Canal on Jan. lst and will sail thence to San Francisco under their owl can- vas.

Although there are no train ferries in •peratiun in Great Britain at the pres- ent day it is of interest to recall the feet that in other branches of railway work British engineers played apioneer part in this field. Over half a century ago train ferries were established to give unbroken railway eonuntmication for goods ti attic over the Firth of Forth between Granton and Burntisland, a distance of five and one half miles, and over the River Tay. The method adopted for the transfer of the wag- gons from train to steamers was the simple one of a horizontal platform which worked in conjunction with a slipway. The total cost of the Forth ferry, including the steamer, was about £26,.,0.). The ferry could accommodate 30 loaded waggons on each trip, and it worked satisfactorily for many years, carrying a large traffic, until it was superseded by the Forth bridge. One of the arguments used by the advocates of train ferries is that the provision of unbroken Communication creates traffic, and in this connection the fact may be recalled that the Granton ferry enabled Fife coal to enter the Edinburgh mar- ket. Another point in the ease for train ferries is the saving of time as compared with ordinary ship transport; the loading and unloading on the Forth ferry oecupied only from five to eight minutes. To Get Rid of Canada Thistle. The Canada or Canadian thistle is really not a native of Canada. It is a native of the old world, being very abundant in many places in Europe, where it is commonly known as the "creeping thistle." The entire plant is very prickly. It grows to be from one to three feet high. Its leaves are medium sized, but they are extremely prickly, and the prickles stand out in every direction. The leaf margins are irregular, jagged and lobed irregu'.arly from the base to the apex. The flower heads are small. This thistle has the smallest heads of any of the common thistles of the country. The flowers are very small, as they are in all thistles, and they are morally purpulish or pinkish. How are we to get rid of the Canada thistle? I have known of success fol- lowing the covering the patch of this- tles with several layers of tarred paper, staking the paper down so as to keep it from being blown away. Instead of staking down the paper wet manure may be thrown on it. Care must be taken to extend the tarred paper many feet beyond the edge of the patch. If the patch is small it might be dug out, care being taken to rake out every particle or the underground por- tions so that there will be no opportunity for them to spring up. The one im- portant thing in killing out the Canada thistle is to prevent the underground portions from coming to the surface so as to form green leaves. The green leaves of the thistle are somewhat analogous to the lungs and stomach of the higher animals, and if these are killed promptly the plants will finally be starved to death.—Breeder's Gazette It often happens that when a young man descends from an aristocratic family the descent is something fierce.

I've tried a thousand fancy drinks to drive my large green thirst away, and some were mixed in twenty winks, and some required a half a day; I've taken drinks from Aspinwall to Broken Bow, and up to Nome; and some were served in flago ns tall from which I blithely blew the foam; I've drunk where heal- ing springs abound, and swallowed stuff that made me jump; and nothing better have I found than water from the village pump. The soda fountain is a peach when man in summer starts to broil, when he's so dry his hands screech like windmills that are needing oil; the fountain in the corner store was once my fev'rite daily haunt; and this I noticed o'er and o'er - the more I drank the more I'd want. 1dy wife grew tired of washing duds, to raise the money for my fizz, and said, "You'lI drink some cheaper suds, as sure as my first name is Liz." Deprived then of the revenue which long had kept me from the dump, I shunned the soda f onnt and drew my solace from the village pump. And now I'm bbosting Adam's ale in seven languages and more; the only d rink that cost no kale, and leaves you better than before.

One of the causes of bankruptcy is that so few persons properly estimate the difference between a high and a low rate of interest, and therefore often borrow at a ruinous rate that no legiti- mate business can stand. Few have figured on the difference between 6 and 8 per cent. One dollar loaned for one hundred years at six per cent. with the interest collected annually and added to the principal, will amount to $340. At 8 per cent it amounts to $2,203, or nearly seven times as much. At three per cent. the usual rate of interest in England it amounts to $19.25, whereas at 10 per cent., which has been a very common rate in the United States, it is $13,809, or about seventy times as much. At twelve per cent. it amounts to $85,809, or more than four thousand times as much. At 18 per cent. it amounts to $1:5,145,007. At twenty- four per cent., which we sometimes hear talked of, it reaches the enormous sum of $2,551,799,40-t. One hundred dollars borrowed at six per cent. with the interest compounded annually, will amount to $1,842 in fifty years, while the same one hundred dollars borrowed at eight per cent. will amount to $4,690 in fifty years. One thonsand dollars at ten per cent. compounded, will run up to $l17,39at in fifty years.

Hints That Help, When cooking liver and bacon get a sour apple, slice it very finely and add it to the gravy. This will impart a de- licious flavor, which is a great improve- ment. Flat -irons become rusty if left in a dry place or if put away flat when warm. Rub them first with beeswax, then with dry, coarse salt, using a short, hard brush. When heating irons it is wise to remove them from a lighted gas -ring after a few minutes have elasped, and to wipe away the tiny specks of moisture which will be found to have formed. Leather chairs often become greasy - looking where the arms and head rest on the leather. To remove these marks try linseed oil. Boil half a pint of oil and let stand until nearly cold; then pour in half a pint of vinegar. Stir till it is well mixed, and bottle. when it is ready for use. Put a few drops on a flannel and polish with soft dusters. This will thoroughly renovate all leather. Melted beef drippings or .tallow may be used over the top of jelly instead of paraffin, if the latter is not at hand. After the tallow is cold, if it has shrunk away from the glass, fill it with more. Borax is ane of the best exterminators for aunts, and shelves and cracks wher e the insects appear should be sprinkled well with it, When washing handkerchiefs add some slices of lemon to the boiling water, and they will come forth much nicer and whiter. Another good way to bleach handkerchiefs is to wash them and then let them soak over night in water in which a little cream of tartar has been dissolved. Press cloth for use in the manufac- ture of vegetable oils is being made in France from human hair. Naval arienals are being built un- derground ixt England because of dan- ger from aerial craft.
