Men are grateful for forbearance in their m running out, but we believe this to be an unnecessary fate of any variety of plants. Some of our best scientists, notably Professors Burrill and Goff, declare that plants do not run out In the sense meant. Plants may loss their vitality through wrong methods of handling them, and this loss of .vlUl-it- y Is what some people denominate running out. The popular Idea Is that at time of first Introduction the varieties of potatoes, strawberries and so on have a certain amount of force etored up in them, and that the mpre they are propagated the more is thla must bear something divide your bun dens equally, and hold half In each hand, allowing the hands to rail at the sides, rather than he bent This aids the beauty of the arm of which we shall have more anon.

Plants do not have a certain amount of energy to last them for just 0 much growth. Wljh proper handling, plants will not run out. It Is bad management, and that alone, that bring the rqsult mentioned. Vitality once hastod can be restored by good management and good feeding of plants. It peed not be exhausted at all if care Is taken to properly select and care for plants or seed or tubers. Some of tbe varieties of potatoes that were growing a generation ago are still found growing a vigorously as they ever did. However, the exhaustion of the vl- tality of plants Is common, and It is frequently cheaper to purchase a new variety than to attempt to restore the vitality of th old. The time will com when we will so fully understand the needs of the plants we grow that they will not run out.

ROMANCE IN DIVORCE SUIT. ladlaa Girl Married Hr Lover for Fun aad Then Harked Oat. A rather romantic case Is that of an Indian girl of a South Dakota reservation who has applied to the courts for a divorce from her husband before she has begun to live with him. Joseph Brughler Is the name of a manly looking Indian whose people live on the Yankton reservation. One day this buck and his best girl, named Emma Shunk, went with a party of young people from their tribe to a neighboring white mans town. One of the young Indian bucks proposed that all of the couples get married according' to the white mans law. When it came to the turn of Joseph Brughler and his best girl to refuse or acquiesce to the plan they both consented, although all of the other couples had backed out of tbe deal. But the girl afterward refused to live with the Inhence dian; the application for divorce. Itd la Favarty. While Johapn Mueller was slowly dying In the almshouse at Duluth, Minn., detectives were seeking him all the way from the Klondike to Cuba. He died supposing himself to be a miserable pauper, when he waa worth several hundred thousand dollar. Mueller was a homesteader who took up several hundred acres of government land a few miles north of Duluth years ego. He became Involved In financial difficulties and mortgaged hie land. Then he disappeared. Before the mortgages could be foreclosed large deposits of ore were found on hie land, and a world-wid- e search waa Instituted for the man. A money loaner, who held one of the mortgagee, finally foreclosed and sold ore right to the Carnegie Steel company for a splendid sum. The matter will be contested la the courts. The property la now valued at $500,000. Tar 8ed The farmer that wants a clean farm must be on his guard against the Introduction of noxious weeds. There te no one way in which weeds invade the farm easier than through the admixture of weed seeds with clover and It therefore does not pay $vass seeds to purchase the low grades of seeds Just because a few dollars per hundred weight can be saved. The weeds that spring out of such seeds occupy the ground to the exclusion of the desired plants, and th curtailment of th crop from this cause far more than the saving la the cost of the seed. In addition there i the expense of fighting tbe weeds, and that expense 1 s0 great that It is about as ebsap to forego the harvesting of tbe crop in the manner at first intended. We have seen fields that had been sown to grass, in hopes of making a good meadow, yellow with mustard. It ia not an uncommon thing to aee clover field whit with oxeye daisies. If farmers were wise the producers of uch seed would not be able to sell it at any price, and would have to be more careful in lu production. But clover and grass aeeda are not the only kinds that need to be looked after. All of the smaller seeds that are purchased In bulk are often mixed with weed aeeda. Were it not so our farms today would be measurably clean. To Insure fairly clean seed th farmer must Instruct himself as to th characteristic of th varloue weed seeds enough to be able to recognize them at off-se- te iy sight The American Trotter. An Englishman who attended the late horse show in New York city had this to say of tk American trotter: Tbe more I see of the trotting horse the better I like th breed.
