Ten Coinmendments of I’otato Culture.
1. Do not plant foreign grown
potatoes, they are not adapted to
our soil and climate.
2. Plant them in a rich, sandy
loam soil, well drained and well
supplied with vegetable matter.
3. Improve your stiffer land by
green manuring and draining, and
lighter soil may be made sufficient
ly rich by the addition of green
manure and fertilizer.
4. Prepare your land deep and
thorough.
5. Plant deep (three to five
inches) on mellow, well drained
soil, for an early crop on stiff soil
with a tendency to bake, the depth
may be decreased.
6. Start a system of rotation
for your crops, it tells on potatoes.
7. If convenient plant potatoes
a year after you have used barn
yard manure, as its application to
the potato affords conditions favor
able to potato diseases. However,
barnyard manure usually guaran
tees an increase in crop.
8. If your soil wa its mtrogen.
use the quick acting nitrate of
soda. If phosphate, superphos- j
phate is preferred. If it needs!
potash, apply sulphate of potash
which has been found to afford a
better quality of potato than Kainit
and muriate of potash.
9. Generally use a complete
fertilizer, that is, one that contains
nitrogen, phosphate acid and pot
ash.
10. Let your seed pieces have
as many eves as possible, as the |
total yield increases with every in
crease in the size of seed pieces
from the single eve to the whole
potato. Clay Sloan.

out until he has lost faith in him
self.
1 believe there is something do
ing somewh re for every man

the people about his camp Wha they
needed most were better schools and
lie determined to take a hand in the
selection of a proper teacher. To th ,
end he ceiled in one from his own
section who had a college education,

In favor of one of their own kind,
who had teen t aching the schoo! for
some time, though his education was
of the most limited kir.d.
“But,” argued the colonel, “your j
man doesn't have the first rudiments
of att education and tile pupils might
as well have no teacher at all."
“lie's dene better than anybody
else ever done, colonel,” replied the
chairman of the board.
“That m. y ho. put pone of them has
been educated properly to ;• ,ch Mv
man has i cert through college and is
uperior to any teacher in the coun

The chai-mrn didn't went any
trouble with the colonel, nor did he
wart to yield his point.
“Mebbe he's ji3t what you say he
is, colonel," he said persuasively,
"and It ain't fer us to doubt that he
has a powerful sight of book Tamin',
but, colonel, we have saw him and
we have saw our man, and 1 wanter
say for this boa-i of trustees that
your man can't lick the biggest boy
in school and our'n kin. and that
counts fer a heap sight mere in this

The man who finds it hardest to get. often
holds it the most successfully. Are you one of
the men with a good income who is living up to
it? Perhaps you are living ahead of it. Calam
ity ahead, in either case. It takes some will
power to spend less than one's income to lay
up something for a rainy day. It is a duty no
man should shirk. You owe it to yourself or
your family, or both. This bank pays 4 percent,
