Her beautiful hair was worn in two -long plaits down her back, and the costume suited her to per- fection. There follotvetl a merry supper in the dependence where all meals were served, then every one adjourned to the hotel salon, the tables and chairs were hastily pushed aside, and dancing began. Herr Feick's eyes rested content- edly on the slim little figure in the tuaize-colored dress who so often danced with his son; and indeed, Blanche looked more lovely that' ever that evening, for happiness and excitement had brightened her dark eyes, and deepened the glow' of color in her cheeks. The father felt proud, too, of his children, when, in response to the general entreaty, F rithief and Sigrid danced the spring dans together with its graceful evolutions and quaint ges- tures. Then nothing would do but 1'rltl t must i �f ala •h s totem 1 onthe violin, after which BIanche volun- teered to teach every one Sir Roger de Covcrlry, and old and young joined merrily in the country dance and so the evening passed on all too rapidly to its close.

Then as the waltz came to an enol he led her toward his ,sister, 'ivho was standing with Roy near the piano, Just then a, polka was struck up and he hastily made his bow to Blanche, "May I have the pleasure of this Glance 9" he said, in his condescend- ing tone.

On the further side of the mound], down among the trees and bushes, was a little sheltered seat. It was there that they spent their last mo- ments, there that Blanche listened to his eager words of love, there that she again bade him wait till October, at the same time giving him such hope and encouragement as must surely have satisfied the most exigeant lover.

It also lilts the adroit Loge of remaining in a mom in<.11ow condition during the goiw- ing eveson, thus giving the tubers t diatom to become more shapely, and making it easier to dig the ri ,p, A heavier soil will sometimes pro- duce w large yield ti gnus_' Lt 1i uF ten mere fertile, bet 1 rows rut of the others is apt ttu be worse u,l such suits. Soil which has produced a scabby crop of potatoes shunkl be avoided, because the scab spores live over in the soil,• and will cauee more r•r less scab on the tubers fur five or six years afterward. Potatoes grow well at any slope, but a northern slope is most desir- able, because on it the clop will suffer lose during hot, dry weather. Good drainage is important. Po- tatoes will stand less excess of mois- ture than other common flu'nl crops, and artificial drainage should be provided wherever natural drain- age is at all deficient, Potatoes; rot more in low, wet land than in well drained upland in years when rot occurs. The same is true of heavy soils compared with light soils, which is because heavy soils do not part with their excess moisture as rapidly as light soils do. - No best time fur planting can be given that will fit every year, If a they spell occurs early in the sea- son, and is followed by plente, of rain, late planted potatoes yield the best, while on the other Mind when a dry spell occurs in the bet- ter half of the growing season early planted potatoes do best. Eleven bushels is a more profit- able quantity of seed potatoes to use per acre than five or eight bushels. Potato growers should follow a. system of rotation in which the po- tatoes follow clover. They should also pay more attention ❑ to potato culture i t c all its .loges. Most farmers do not cultivate their potatoes tlic most profitable 11unlber of times. It must remem- bered that the potato crop suffers readily from drought, and that fre- quent cultivation is practically the only means by which the moisture can be conserved. Frequent multi - nation also sets free much plant food that would otherwise remain locked up in the soil. Potatoes shotilcl be cultivated once a week ' from the time the rows call 1,0 fol. ]owed until the cultivator wheels in- jure the plants. TREES FOR WINDBREAKS. A double row of evergreens as a windbreak is of equal value for pro- tection with a board fcm<e of the sante ht ight. The general metllnd of planting evergreens around feed yards, houses, gardens and small fruit orehards is to plant the trees in double or triple rows so that there will be no space between the trees for the wind to find its way through. 1Vhen planted on the west side of the tiardl, or buildings they soften the rigors of winter and add many dollars value to the. appearance of the farm.. A large number have been unsuc- cessful in growing these trees, but with proper care and the right me- thods of starting the young trees it is quite easy to start an evergreen tree. The only condition of suc- cess is that their roots must be kept moist. foreign varieties when imported are riot so sure to thrive anti do as well as the native trees. When trees of small size are started they should he set in small beds convenient for watering in case of drought, and shaded with brush or •cornstalks a few niches high -above the tops of the plants -covering the surface with leaves Or straw or old hay - also a covering in winter will insure their wintering in good condition. When they are firmly established with new and fibrous roots they are ready to be set out for' good and it will be found best to sot in rows about six feet apart and from three to four feet in the row and give good care and cultivation as would be given a garden for two or three years ti11ti1 the trees shade tate ground. White and Norway eprnee are the most rapid growers -and are the most valuable .for planting.
