These sliv­ ers do no harm except to slightly injure the appearance of the cooked potato. Usually their location is indicated ex­ ternally by a minute puncture in the skin. In some cases each sliver is sur­ mounted by a pronounced elevation, and tubers so affected are called pim­ ply potatoes. The slivers and accompanying pim­ ples are caused by minute white worms, the larvae of the common flea beetle, which bore into the tubers while they are growing. Naturally slivers are most common in potatoes in locali­ ties where flea beetles are most abun­ dant. It is likewise plain that to pre* vent the appearance of slivers in the tubers it is necessary to prevent flea beetles from attacking the tops. This is best accomplished by spraying the plants verj' thoroughly with bordeaux mixture containing paris green at the rate of about twelve ounces to ftfty gal­ lons of bordeaux. The same treatment prevents blight and the ravages of po­ tato bugs.--F, C. Stewart in American Agriculturist • « A He Acquires a.

"Because you can't know much about the trick of taking pictures, and you'll likely get into trouble." As a matter of fact, Mr. Bowser had come into possession of an old kodak only three days before, and he had not spent an hour altogether in acquiring the art of working it. Mrs. Bowser had questioned bis experience, how­ ever, and he was bound to say: "My dear woman, if I can learn more about the art of photography in one day than you could in a lifetime, that is my good luck. As for getting Into trouble. I see no reason why 1 should be hooked by a cor-or kicked by .a horse. 1 was under the impres­ sion that you might welcome twelve autumn views for the back parlor, but if I am mistaken I can make some sa­ loon a present of them." "But you won't flgbt with any farm- «r, will you. and you'll be home early?" she pleaded. "Fight with s farmer? Why should a picture of the old horse and the Sta­ ble." explained Mr. Bowser. "Then you needn't go any farther. There's been more'n a hundred of your kind along here this year, and they've trampled down my crops, stole my fruit and fhrted with my gals, and I haven't got a cent cut of it If you don't want to pay $10 for a pictur*, you can git" Mr. Bo\vser got He wanted to have a row over it, but the farther had a club in his band and looked as if he wouldn't hesitate to swipe a kodak off the face of the earth. In the next field, which belonged to another farm, was a cow under a tree. It was an autumn cow and an autumn tree, and, properly framed, would make a back parlor picture to be proud of. The pose of both cow and tree was all that could be desired by the most exacting artist Mr. Bow­ ser got right to work. So did the farmer and his son, who were putter­ ing about the barn. They came down on a run. Tiie old man shrilly de­ manded to know who had given the kodaker permission to come squinting around that field. "1 simply wanted a picture of ths cow and tree," was explained. "Well, you can't have it A feller who looked just like you come along here last week and squinted around for plctur's. and when he had gone I missed a plow and a drag. Don't bs .two minits gittin' out of here!" Mr. Bowser's first impulse was to fight, but he reflected that autumn •iews awaited him farther on, so he swallowed his indignation and climbed the fence. At the blck^of another farmhouse stook a giant oak whose leaves had turned to gold, and beneath its spread­ ing branches reposed seven hogs. They had eaten their fill of acorns and gone to sleep. Any artist with half an eye could see that it was the opportunity of a lifetime to combine autumn scenery and sugar cured hams in one picture. Mr. Bowser chuckled with satisfaction as he set up his shooter. There - teas only on* thing more. The pose of one of the hogs was a little off and must be im­ proved. Very quietly the artist went forward and bestowed a kick where it would do the most good. The watchword of tint i drove of hogs was, "If you kick ope, you kick all." The ' first porker had no sooner scrambled up with a grunt of inquiry than the . other six followed suit. No hog could | make out just what was going on, but all decided to move on and think it Although the weekly Inter Ocean has advanced its price to the country, press for the coming subscription season, we are going to give the two papers to our subscribers for $1.75 per year to all who take advantage of the offer before Jan­ uary 1, 1903.

He scarcely bad got seated in a suburban car when an oldish man who sat alongside of him set his jaw and remarked: "I thought it was about time for an­ other of you fellers to come along, and I want to warn you right here and now that if you come squinting around my place I'll jump on to your neck.

They moved in Mr. Bowser's direction, of course, and the result wss that he was flung down and run over. This wasn't the worst of it, however. He had only got up when three strap­ ping sons of the farmer showed up and accused him of an intention to steal hogs. He boiled over and called them liars, aiid then there was a collision. Mr. Bowser cut loose and made the sods fly and the fences totter, but three to one downed him at last. When be got up. bis kodak had been trampled into the ground, and he looked as if a cyclone had dallied with him for an hour. There was no shaking hands to show that there was no ill feeling.
