Having bought a dog that he admir ed, a man undertook to buy a dog col lar. The dog had a neck nearly as big as his head, and the dealer advised the man to buy two collars. . "What for?" said the man. "He's only got one neck, so I guess he can get along -with only one collar, can't he?" "Maybe so," said the man, so the man went away leading the dog by his ne^ collar and chain. In less than a wef s he brought the dog back. "I'm afraid I can't keep him," he said. "He Is too obstreperous. I can't keep him tied up. His- neck is the big gest part of him, and he is as strong as an or, therefore it is a cinch for him to slip his collar off." "That was why I wanted you to take two collars," said1 the dealer. "Put both on and fasten the chain to the back collar, and he- can tug away all night without getting loose. He may commit suicide, but he won't get loose."'-New York ISun. Disappointed In Ker. "And so your father refuses to con sent to our union." "He does, Rc'olphus." The sad youth swallowed a sob.

"I could, Rodolphus." The sad youth rose wearily! and reached for his hat. "Then," said ne, "you are far from being the practical girl I have all along taken you to be."

Etiwan Fert IRISH POTATO PLANTING (Continued from page 1.) potato requires it-Barnyard manure , greatly increases the yield, as it adds nitrogeu, phosphoric acid and pot- ; ash; also greatly improving the me chanical condition of the soil. It is best, however, to not apply the ma nure directly to the potato crop, but to have used it on the land the year before. An argument against using it directly is that by so doing the dangers of the disease are greatly ' increased. If it has not been applied to the previous crop, it would be best to have the manure well rotted before applying. Where the soil has been for sev eral years treated with barnyard manure and green crops plowed un-J der, commercial fertilizers can be used with advantage. What the grower wants in this time is a gen eral fertilizer-that is, a complete one,--containing nitrogen, phosphor ic acid and potash. It has been found that fertilizers should contain a good percentage of potash when used on potatoes; and it is there that the special potato fertilizers hold their secret of success. Sul phate of potash is regarded as the ? best form. DO IT NOW. Edgefield People Should Not Wait Until it is Too Late.

Dick in a Crowd. When a certain mild-mannered representative from a middle west ern state went to Congress, he left behind a body of constituents whr fancied that groat personal benefii would come to them through thei powerful statesman.
