CELLAR POTATOES.
Grown on a Table In the Dark in s
Few 8.:1.
•w. Inc hes o
f
If you lave at your disposal a small
and quite dark cellar, and,.an old kit-
chen table, how would yea like to
grow potatoes, expellent ones that are
declared to be superior in flavur to
the ordinary faun grown ,variety?
This can be done very easily by tel.
lowing a rriethod which is attraetiag
considerable attention in France.
First of all you need the dark cellar.
The absence of light is essential,, for
'the filtration :of even' a few rays of
light would cause the potatoes to
waste their energies in putting forth
sprouts in all directions instead of
the buds of little potatoes. Next you
needa table, over which you .place a
layer two or three inches thick of fine,
dry and carefully sifted earth. Then
you selectsorne good two.year-old po
tatoes-that is to say, those of last
yeac''s' gathering, Any potatoes in a
good state of preservation will do, but
it is best to select large tubers with-
out defects, fir the slightest trace of
fungus spreads rapidly and may spoil
the whole crop. Now tabs a slightly
moistened sponge and pass it over
for
eaaeli., potato to work off the cryp
gametic germs that are .so injuriousto
vegetable tissues. 11 some of the
potatoes have already begun to sprout
the epronts must be removed care-
fully without wounding the tuber.
After you have done all this take
the potatoes one by one and half bury
them in the soil, planting them in
rows spaced about four inches ,apart.
There is no back breaking toil with
the hoe in the broiling sun and no
fighting against potato bugs, The
tubera should be inspected by candle-
light occasionally to see that every-
thing is progressing satisfactorily. In
two or three weeks after planting it
will be found that each potato is cov-
ered with tiny white Points which sev-
eral days later change into little pota-
toes that grow rapidly. •
When the little potatoes are reason-
ably large they may be carefully • re-
moved, leaving in place the old pota-
toes, which continue to bear. Several
weeks later another crop may be gath-
ered and even a third. The budding
continues until the parent tuber is
completely exhausted and nothing re
mains of it but the skin. ,-•
In case sprouts push forth on the
potatoes they must be cut off with
scissors. Potatoes grown in this way
have one very excellent quality. They
have so thin a skin that it may be
simply washed off. No' scraping or
paring,is necessary. They also have
an exoellent flavor and are firmer
than ordinary farm grown varieties,
with less tendency to soften..
Windows.
Utility .is the mother of nearly all
decorative features. • Windows were
first designed to give light. The his-
tory of glass shows that the useful
has takerlecorative prominence. In
old colonial houses glass in small
panes was used probably because it
was cheap. The sash wasdivided by
small pieces of wood, called mullions.
After inanyed gyears glass came to be
recent
years it has been the e prat icefto have
but a single sheet, often in a very
large size, of plate glass. These are
permissible only where .the view war-
rants their use. The . average house
' or';cottage is better without them. as
they suggest the show window of a
shop rather than a home. -Argonaut.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. T.H. Chel-

Wingham, at which Hon. George E.
Foster spoke.
CHANGES HIS COAT RAPIDLY.
Hon. George E. Foster, ex -finance
minister of Canada,, and re -nominated
in North Toronto in the Conservative
interest, is speaking bitterly against
reciprocity. In the University Maga-
zine as late as December last, be had
an article on reciprocity in which he
said:
"Should we veto all attempts to
improve trade relations between
Canada and the United States?
By no means. Our reply to Uncle
Sam should be: Granted that you
fully realize that we are bent on de -
veloping a nationality absolutely in-
dependent of you politically, on main-
taining as a means thereto a fiscal
system under which we may develop
to the utmost our industries and our
resources for our own strengthening
and upbuilding, and that no scheme
of reeiprocity which interferes there-
with is desirable; that understood,
we welcome the fullest trade and
intercourse consistent therewith.
"Meanwhile, as a neighborly be-
ginning, could you not give our pro-
ducts tariff entrance to your market,
on the same terms which we accord
to yours in our markets? Ygu are
bigger, older, richer, more skilled
and more populous.. What competi-
tion should you fear on a basis of
equivalent tariffs?
"If you were to do this it would.
be an earnest of good feeling and
might dispose us to further con-
verse."
Probably, he will say it was in "a
moment of weakness" that he said
these things, this being the explanation
he gave for having once advocated pro-
hibition and turning his back on it
when he became a member of the House
of Commons and a minister.
The wages of canal employees have

Emile Lisotte was shot while trying
