to the Strand, was approached by
the committee intrusted with the erec

asked to abate his price. "I cannot do
that," he said, "but I will tell you
what I will do. I have a statue of
Lincoln here which has been left on

Note* on Raliin; Irish Potatoes.
J. G. B.. Wytheville. writes: "I have s
a farm of 340 acres, mostly in crass, i'
and want to make a specialty of hoes
and potatoes. I have tive cows and <*
will use the sour milk and small pota- '
toes for the ho.es. We raised about 1
200 bushels on one-half acre of land s
last year, and I want to put out double
that amount this year. Any sugges- c
tions will be appreciated." s
i You should find the raising of hogs t
! and potatoes profitable, though it is c
I inadvisable to break up a good blue

1 blue grass land will always be in dei
mand at remunerative prices. You t
could probably lease out part of your i
land to cattle raisers and make as much t
off of it as attempting to farm it in a
other ways, and grazing blue grass sod
will cause it to improve, provided you t
do not allow it to be overstocked. A ^

j \loy- t
^he raising of sheep and lambs t
should prove a profitable industry, t
Sheep arc regarded as one of the most *
profitable forms of stock that can be
kept on the farm so the flocks are not t
made too large and the ewes are given 1
proper care and attention. Besides i
that, they are not difficult to manage, r
and they rustle so well for themselves s
that they require comparatively little r
care. i

on every Virginia farm, and more i
attention should be given to this class
of stock. They should have plenty of r
good range and "a variety of crops 1
should be grown for their special ben- (
efit. Among the most useful are small t
areas of red or alfalfa clover, cowpeas t
and soy beans sown so as to provide a v
succession of grazing, and if the hogs t
are farrowed in the spring, they can t
be grown cheaply on these grazing c
crops with the use of a very small i
amount of grain. Small potatoes will
also prove valuable for them, and skim
milk, when fed with middlings and a
little corn, provides an excellent ration
for hogs. Totatoes are a money-mak- )
ing crop at fifty cents a bushel, but f
they should not be grown on ^lie same P
land year after year, or they will ex- t
haust it rapidly. Potatoes can best
be brought after a clover sod, as they r
enjoy a soil rich in vegetable matter, t
Good applications of phosphates and c
potash should be made to the land in- s
tended for potatoes. The sulphate of j
potash should be used,' and not the t
muriate. This is an important matter, i
for where the sulphate is used a more c
mealy and drier potato is obtained. It c
will pay you to use anywhere from r
300 to 500 pounds of fertilizer per acre j
for Irish potatoes, even when put on j
good sod land. The fertilizer might j
consist properly of three \o four per n
cent, of nitrogen, seven or eight per r
cent, of phosphoric add and ten to
twelve per cent, of sulphate of potash. s

be less in the soil of what the plant re- i
quires for its perfect upbuilding if all
is to be well.
Every plant removed, every weed
even, from the place in which it has :

most people can readily understandthat
if this goes on the time will surely
come, no matter how rich the ground
was at the outset, when that ground
i will not be able to give a crop the required

This is the point where manure, artificial
fertilizing, ought to be introduced.

Sinking Compoiti on tho Farm.
II. L. !>., Bluff City. Term., writes:
'I would like some instructions as to
iow to compost and use home made i
ertilizer, and what can be used 011
rrass and small plants that is better
ban land plaster?"
Composts arc chiefly valuable for the
mrpose of utilizing rough materials
hat fould otherwise go to waste. A
omp<m heap may be made in one of
everal ways, leaves, straw, cornstalks
ind other material being utilized for
hat purpose, together with some rich
Jack earth from a swampy place. The
arth from these swampy pkices is
iften not as rich in all the elements of
dant food as some people imagine,
'or example, it may need lime to bring
t in condition for crop production, and
t may also be deficient in phosphates
tnd potash, though well supplied with
dtrogen.
The place ror tne compost neap
ihould be carefully selected. A heavy
lay excavated so as to leave a concave
lepression in the ground will make a
.uitable place, and as the soil is tena'ious,
there is not so much loss from
caching as would occur with lighter
toils. Put down a layer of the material
o be composted and then cover with a
ight layer of rich earth. Some prefer
o use lime, phosphates and potash to
jalance up the compost, as it were,
rbe writer would always prefer to
ipply these directly to the field, and
>ut the compost on separately. The
;ompost heap should be situated so
hat it can be kept moist, though not
vet. If kept moist there is less loss
from the action of various forms of
bacteria which break up nitrogen into
rolatile forms. There is naturally more
:>r less loss In compost heaps, though
;hey have the advantage of providing
t means as they stand, but as a rule
t is better to get any material to be
utilized for the purpose of furnishing
nitrogen or vegetable matter in the
soil as soon as possible. A compost
lieap should only he used as a last resort.
As a rule, farmyard manure Is

tained from compost heaps is one-sided
in nature: that is, it contains a larger
)er cent, of nitrogen than of phosphates
and potash. Therefore, good applications
of these materials should be made
when the compost is applied, and if
the land is acid, an application of fifty
bushels of lime will be an advantage.
Land plaster is chiefly valuable as a
means of setting free potash which is
not in an amiable form in the soil, and
so ready for the use of plants. Lime is
a more effective agent to use as it
corrects acidity in the soil, promotes
the development of certain forms of
bacteria which are essential to the production
of good crops, and sots free
plant food. Lime, however, is not a
fertilizer in any sense of the word,
and this is an important matter for you
to realize so you will rot use it to excess
and the permanent injury of ycur
soil.?Frofessor Soule.

Missions Among Latin Peoples.?1
Tim. 2:5; Heb. 10:19-22.
By the Latin peoples we mean tho3e
Roman Catholic nations among which
we have mission stations. They are
Italy, Mexico and South America.
This does not include the island
populations which are under Roman
Catholic dominance, but they will be
studied under another topic. The field
is a difficult one. Romanism throws
every possible obstacle in the way of
our success. And Romanism is intrenched
in wealth, social prestige
and peculiar political power. As difficult
as any heathen field, there are
reasons why we believe that here we
win soon see some or ine greatest
triumphs of t)ie cross of Christ.
Our Italian Mission was begun in
1871 by Rev. Leroy M. Vernon, a
sen-in-law of Dr. Charles Elliott, a
former editor of the Central Christian
Advocate, and an ardent advocate
of missions to the Roman Catholic
countries. We have had great
success in Rome when we consider
the obstacles we have encountered.
In Rome we have both an American
and an Italian church, besides a
school which is reaching the youth of
tnat city. Dr. William Burt, who has
been the successful superintendent of
our Mission in Rome, has been elected
a bishop and located in Europe,
where he can overlook the work. Outside
of Rome we have the Napels and
Bologna Districts, largely manned by
native preachers.
The Mexican Mission includes Mexico,
Lower California and Central
America. Mexico is a republic, and
the church is independent of the
state, securing toleration of all religions,
while the Roman Catholic is
largely dominant. The population is
18,000,000. Dr. William Butler founded
our Mission here in 1872. We have
now in Mexico an Annual Conference,
with five presiding elders' districts,
5.000 members and probationers, besides
over 10,000 adherents.
Nominally a Christian continent.
South America has too largely been
but "baptized heathenism." Methodisqi
began her work here in 1836,
when Justin Spaulding was sent to
Rio de Janeiro ar.d John Dempster to
Buenos Avres. The work has progressed
with varying success until in
1S97 the work was divided into the
two Conferences?the South America,
including the east coast; and the
Western South America, including the
west coast. In the former we have
17 missionaries and 3,500 members
and probationers. In the latter we
have some 33 missionaries and about
2.000 members and probationers. In
both mission fields we have many
scuools of all grades.

Missions in Roman Catholic countries.
Ps. 67: 1-7.
One drawback in Roman Catholic
countries is their ignorance. God's
way is not known there, and of course
it is not followed.
The "saving health" which the
Roman Catholic seeks, he seeks from
images and ceremonies, instead of
from the Great Physician.
In Roman Catholic countries it la
not "the people" that worship, but
the priests that worship for tnem?
or are supposed to.
Righteous government is almost unknown
in many Roman Catholic
lands; witness the deplorable civic
condition of South America.

My dolls are all great magic folks, i
They live in Wonderland.
And they can turn to anything
nen i just wave my nana.
Most all the time 1 live there, too, .
And sometimes I'm a queen, 1
Sometimes a fairy godmother, ;
A witch, but never mean.
Though I do not have to turn some dolls
To bad men. fqr in plays ,
They have to have one truly bad
So good can get more praise. 1
My dolls all have matinees I
And lovely concerts, too.
The prima donna always Is
My singing dolly. Lou.
I punch her. and she sings to sweet
The others all admire.
And_ often when we're playing church
We two make up the choir.
Doll Vernon's always making love <
To little Flora be!:
She laughs and turns awav her head,
Just like my Auntie Nell.
And all that I see grown folks do 1
I let my dolls do, too;
It seems so real in Wonderland i
I quite believe It's true. i
I'm always mother just at dusk
And rock my dolls to rest. i
For they all turn to babies then, ,
And then I love them best.
An Elephant Yarn.
In the jungles of India there lived
an elephant who showed a wonderful
sagacity and mother love for its offspring.
One day, the baby elephant
wandered away from its mother, who
' showed her uneasiness at its absence.
Reaching the top of a hill, she saw her
darling quietly bfbwsing at the foot '
while stealing along, at no great distance
was an enormous lion. The
mother was at her wit's ends. She
realized that the baby would not have
a ghost of a chance against the hunger
of the lion who every moment was
drawing nearer to its desired end. The
lion halted a moment directly beneath
the place where the helpless mother
stood. More quickly than it could be
told the huge elephant rolled herself
into a huge ball, and rolled down the
hill. The lion never knew what struck
him. His feelings were completely
crushed, while the baby elephant was
led home, where he no doubt got a
i severe scolding, for going away from
home without his mother's permission.

The Wise Sultan.
There was once a floor cleaner in
the palace of the sultan, who quar- ^
reled with and grumbled to a workman
who had come to mend a step. It ,
took a good while to finish properly
the work, and this annoyed the sul- j
tan who every day had to pass through
the room where the step was being
mended.
The, sultan complained of the annoy- ,
ance and the floor cleaner said he did (
not see hew such a great sultan could
be put out by 3uch a little thing. The
sultan heard the remark and sent for
the floor cleaner, who greatly feared
that his remark would cost him his
head.
He was greatly surprised when the
sultan told him that he would give
; him a palace, money, servants, horses,
every luxury that a man could desire,
all upon one condition. This condition
was that every day of his life he would ,
come to the sultan's palace and re- ,
i ceive a slight tap on his cheek, this ,
I tap to be administered by the sultan
himself or one of his servants.
As the years went on this man grew
rich and powerful ana nnany u Decame
a great trial for him to present
himself every day at the place and receive
a tap cn his cheek. This was especially
trying as his flatterers and
servants sympathized with him and
told him it was a shame that so great
a man should be subjected to such an i
| insult. This became the trial of his
otherwise happy life. He felt that he
j could no longer edure it.
One day the sultan was ill, and his
cook was sent for to administer the
tap to the floor cleaner Tho flocr

The Crow as a Pet.
Did you ever own a crow?
If not you have missed more than
a cartload of innocent fun. I have ^
owned all sorts of pets in my life, J
from pet beetles to coons, dogs and jj
deer, but none gave the all-round sat- 1
Isfaction of the crow. -1
It is hardy, full of the jolliest tricks,

a dog, as comical as a clown, and almost
as intelligent as a boy. A pet
crow knows its friends and enemies
and will allow no liberties frctn' a /
3tranger. Of course, a crow's honesty
[s no better that that of a pack rat,
but my crow never stole from me, and
somehow or other one finds it easy *
to forgive a thief who cnly steals from
athers.
When we dug up our flower bed in
the early spring there were no less
than seven silver timbles unearthed,
and not-one of the lot came from our
house. One day "Billy" brought me
a nice two-dollar greenback. In those j
days a two-dollar bill was a very, very >
large amount to me, and stood for an j
unheard of amount of butter scotch :"
and gingerbread. i
Of course the money did not belong f
to me, but neither did it belong to the J
crow, and "Billy'* wcuid not tell where ?
he got his wealth, so after a -consultation
with my parents and my teacher
and after waiting to see if anyone
claimed the bill, it was at length decided
to be my property, and it was
the first two dollars I ever had all in
a heap. , 4 "
But it was not always money the "
crow found; once he filled all the crev- ,
ices in my mother's bed with liver; *
this cculd not be seen and attracted no
attention until the summer heat began
to act upon it, then everybody in
the house knew that something had
happened. The old folks said a rat i
must have died in the partition, but
the crow and I were chums and understood
each other. I suspected the real J
cause of the disagreeable odor, and I
as soon as the coast was clear, discov- ;
ered and removed the liver, and never <
until this day did I give the crow
away.?Dan Eeard and His Boys in

Won't Move on Friday.
"Friday is a kind of holiday In our
business," said the professional mover. y
"There is a big lot of superstitution in "^7"
this town, and, except in cases of
actual necessity, it is hard to get anybody
to move on Friday. If a few
families that intend to change quarters
soon couid only be induced to
put aside their foolish prejudice,
against the sixth day of the week, they
could be set up in their new home with
half the trouble and inconvenience
they will experience on any other day.
I have explained that to many prospective
customers, but the chances are
that most of them will vote to join
the rush rather than tempt bad "luck
by moving on Friday.
"Most of our movers dislike Friday f
as much as the customers. Whatever
jobs are assigned to them they attend
to. of course, but every last man in
our employ will be glad if not a single 9
order was booked for Friday. They
trialm that every smash-up they figure
in. every accident to the furniture
through loss or breakage, occurs on a
Friday, so, for their own sake, they
uphold the customers in their fight
against Friday."?New York Press
