Manure for Potatoe
W. D-I. What Is the host manure
to force potatoes ! 2. will new land
not yet brolwn produce good potatoes ?
Would lime help to warm the soil ?
Is there any fertility in It ?
Well rotted yard manure with an
admixture of , poultry manure Is considered .
sldel'ed the best fertilizer for 10tl1-
toes An application oC ashes Is also ;
good. " , New land h well adapted to
the growing of potatoes A common
method of preparing now round , ' 15
to plow It , harrow It down wel1 and
plant the potatoes with n hoe 3. H 1
the land Is heavy and cold and application - ,
cation of limo would warm and mellow i

necessary for land to contain a good
stacie oC plant : food before lime cnn ho

London Women Have Taken to the

Time eighteenth century bonn was

accustomed to view life through 0
monocle mounted on a long handle of
gold or pinchbeck.
The handle terminated In a ring by
which the bauble was affectedly dan-
gled on the end or the lit-

This quaint fashion Is being ,
i revived by the fair lady of to.day , and -"w.J'
, to meet il London jewelers have de--
signed some very
exquisite single
glass lorgnettes ,
with long handles
of gold , enamel , 'j

One specimen ,

Time handles of these lorgnettes are
about four Inches long , and terminate
In n small ring composed of little diamonds -

the chain by which they are worn
around the neck Is hung. An ordinary l-
