Mrs. V. C. Merridith then read a paper entitled “The General Purpose Farm and Farmer,” which was entertaining as well at, intellectual. She was followed by Dr. Arthur, oi Lafayette, who told some interesting facts about the potato. Among other things he said that the seed end of a potato was worth ten per cent more than any other part of the potato for planting. The larger the potato you use in planting the larger will be y our crop, and the larger the piece planted, the larger will be your potatoes. The best sized piece to plant shOtold weigh from one to two ounces. Always plant the ones with the rough skin, let them dry a little before planting roll them in ashes. His talk was very in st rue the. “How must ch aply to elicit the imp ov. merit i 1 s vine,” etc , was next taken up by W. F Aspy.

Now that cold weather is at band it is to the interest of every peason to see that his stock is properly ci rc . for. Evciy one knows how he feels when he is not perfectly warm and protected from the colds and draughts, and how to catch cold, There is no animal which is so susceptible to draughts and chills as your horse. At night when sleeping his blood becomes sluggish and he is liable to catch cold In recent years, it has become the fixed rule with all owners of good stock to carefully blanket their horses not only when opt of doors, but also in the stable. It has been found that horses eat less to keep warm, are kept in better condition, and are more valuable by being blanketed. One ot the most essential which should be looked at when purchasing a horse blanket, it is strength. Too much cannot be given to the manufacturers of the cele brated 5-A Horse Blankets, who for years have insisted upon putting strong blankets upon the market, believing that the users of horse blankets would in time recognize the necessity and demand the 5-A Horse Blanket. The 5-A Blanket is what you want. There are 100 different styles made square for outdoor use Bind shaped for stable use at prices to suit everybody. • Ole Olson tomorrow night. Judge Bobo was at Ft.
