With the mist came a moist, sticky heat, the air was fetid. Trent wiped the per- soiration from his forehead and breathed hard. This was an evil mo- ment for him.

Having a remarkable number of spears, a potato grown at Northwood, Kent, England, was cut into 23 pieces and planted on April 21. Each piece grew. and when the-crop was dug up it was found that the single tuber had produced 267e potatoes, about 30 lbs. in weight. l Many of the eggs purchased along the Yang-tse-kiang are dried for the use of bakers in Eufope, and other parts of the world.

Eggs Offered at Three Cents a Dozen Near Hankow. hill, a speck which in time took to itself the semblance of a man, a Kru boy, naked as he was born save for a rugged loin-cloth, and clutching some- thing in his hand. He was invisible to Trent until he was close at hand; it was Monty whose changed attitude and deportment indicated the ap- proach of something interesting. He had relinquished his digging and, after a long, stealthy glance towards the house, had advanced to the ex- treme boundary of the potato patch. His behavior here for the first time seemed to denote the hopeless lunatic. He swung his long arms backward and forward, cracking his fingers, and talking unintelligibly to himself, hoarse, guttural murmurings with, out sense or import. Trent changed his place, and for the first time saw the Kru boy. His face darkened and an angry exclamation broke from his lips. It was something like this which he had been expecting For an hour or more nothing hap- pened. Trent smoked, and Monty, who had apparently forgotten all about his visitor, plodded away amongst the potato furrows, with every now and then a long, searching look towards the town. Then there came a black speck stealing across the broad tice-field _and_ up the steep Trent walked a few pares apart, and panned out of the garden to a low, shelving bank and looked downward where a sea of glass rippled on to the broad. firm sands. What a picture of desolation! The grey, hot mist, the whitewashed cabin, the long, ugly potato patch, the weird, pathetic fig- ure of that old man from whose brain the light of life had surely passed forever. And yet Trent was puzzled. Monty's furtive glance inland, his half-frightened, half-cunning denial of any anticipated visit suggested that there was some one else who was interested in his existence, and some one, too, with whom he shared a se- cret. Trent lit a cigar and sat down upon the sandy turf. Monty resumed his digging.

The fall and winter styles are, without question, a credit to their originators. Every woman wants to dress with refinement and style; and to keep up-to-date inexpensively in these days of rapid changes, it is almost necessary to do all one's own dressmaking. This is not difficult when a good pattern is used. For in- stance, the illustration here shown, Ladies' Home Journal Pattern No. 9089, is a fine example of up-to-date- ness and smartness.

The Duke has subjected the admin-i istration of the Blenheim farms to all thorough evolution along industrial lines, and the results are equally asl interesting and instructive as the pro- gress of the farming itself. Together with W. Gavin the Duke had intro- duced important reforms, resulting in the raising of heavier crops and pro-', nounccd improvement in the quality: of the permanent pasture, leading to; a great increase in the total head of _ stock carried. 1 The Duke is keeping detailed re- cords, and the books show that there is every justification for expecting better returns from the reclaimed area under the plow than it yielded in its former state. The Duke showed considcrable fore- sight in the working out of his plan. The land he converted into cereal pro- dueing farms is light. The turf it carried was of little value, its owner being strongly against disturbing rich pastures or meadows. The Duke of Muriborough's enter- prise in restoring to cultivation a land that had been under grass for many years has aroused interest and ap- proval throughout the British Isles. chiefly because he is pointing the way to mcdifieuions in farming that have good chances of helping to solve the problem of the home productions of breadstufrs and of increasing the nation's security from its own re- sources. a matter of vital importance to Britain. This ground produced its second harvest this year. The barley and eats are not quite equal in bulk to the crop of last year, but they bear about the same proportion to those that preceded them that the present harvest in general does to that of 1914. so the deficiency has a seasonal explanation. A little more than half a year after he had written his letter to Winston Churchill, the Duke ordered 1,000 acres of Blenheim Park to be plowed for the planting of cereals. A pen of water will freshen Imus- vegetables. Let them stand in it ifor one hour.

The scheme worked out, and is working out far more successfully than the Government, and probably the Duke himself, had dreamed it would. On March/l7, 1918, the Duke sent an open let'ter to Winston Churchill, then Home Secretary, condemning radical land measures. and announc- ing that he was about to put 1,000 acres of his estate, Blenheim Park, " Woodstock, under the plow.
