"You surely don't meart to *ant an aspcrwion upon your own daughter?" I said, flunhing with indignation. "Oh. Gabriel i- all right," he answered carelessly. "Our family is not vxiu-Uy one. however, which I hhould recommend a young fellow to marry Into. And pray how ia it that I WB not informed of thin snug little arrangement of yourg?" "We were afraid, sir. that you might nep- arato us." I replied, feeling that ix-rfoot candor was the best policy under the cir- cumstances. "H 1 p<wiiiblo that we were mixtaken.

Sandsten. Some growers advocate shallow planting, and others just as strong- 1 ly favor deep planting. That there must be a depth at which the high- est yield may be obtained seems reasonable. This depth will un- doubtedly vary with difference in weather conditions, consequently any investigation along this line should be carried on for several years in order to obtain reliable data. An experiment was made at Iron River, \Vis., on sandy soil of rather open texture, to get some in- formation on this point. The ground was plowed in the fall and given a dressing of ma- nure at the rate of ten loads per acre in the spring. This -was disked into the ground thoroughly before | planting. The land was nicely leveled before planting by means of a drag. Twenty-one rows run- ning north and south, were plant- ed, each row three feet apart. The potatoes were planted with a planter in order, as follows : At four inches deep, four TOTS. At six inches deep, four rows. At eight inches, four rows. At four inches deep, thrae rows. At six inches deep, three rows. At eight inches deep, three rows. In this way any possible lack of uniformity of soil was '< a great extent neutralized. The same gen- eral slope obtained for all the field, making the conditions o.'rnilar for all the rows. The potatoes plant- ed at four inches came up first, those at six inches second, while the rows planted at eight inches came up last. There was a differ- ence of about two days between | each set. The set planted at f<mr i inches grew fastest and produced somewhat stockier vines. The deep- est planting was not quite as good a stand, although the difference was not very great. Exactly the same treatment as to cultivat'ng, spraying, etc., was given tj all the rows. No weeds were allowed to grow, and the beetles were killed before they did | any material damage. The crop was dug the latter part of September, with the following results : the po- tatoes planted four inches deep yielded at the rate of 140 busliels per acre ; the six-inch depth yield- ed at the~rate of 12-1 bushels per acre, and the eight-inch depth, 102 bushels per acre. From this it would seem that six inches would be the maximum depth at which to plant potatoes. Liming (he Soil. Nothing in agricultural science or practice may be mentioned with more assurance than the beneficial effect of lime on easily puddled, stiff clay soils. This is BO nearly a matter of common knowledge, the wonder is that anyone will worry along with such soils year after year, and even from one generation to another, while the possible in- crease in yield in a single year will often pay for the necessary lime. Lime may improve loose sandy soils by making them more compact and more retentive of moisture. For this purpose some form of car- bonate of lime is usually recom- mended, :iinl in much smaller quantities than for clay soils, (.'lay soils will stand more lime and, for almost every purpose, require moro lime than sandy soils. The improve- ment of sandy soils will often be much greater if the lime is applied to a green crop turned under. Lime hastens the conversion of the vege- table matter into humus, and this with the lime helps to fill the open spaces between the sand grains. It is claimed by those who have given much attention to light sandy soils that there are no other types of s<iils that will respond quite so readily to liming, provided the nec- essary vegetable matter is sup- plied.

A French inventor has made a frightful addition to the efficacy of the revolver. A small but powerful electric light is attached to the mechanism of a pistol of ordinary size- By use of lenses and mirrors the glare of the circle of light which the lamp throws is bright enough to be clearly seen in daylight against so dark an object as a light-colored suit of clothes. Now, the centre of the circle of light, marked by a black spot, by arrangement of the lenses, is exactly the spot where the bullet will strike. Thus, all one has to do is to place the black centre of the blazing circle of light over the heart of an adversary and pull the trigger. A word to the wise is sufficient, unless the man is too wise.
