Procure a good supply of pine straw from the woods la a dry time and keep jt under cover ready for use, -Dig the 'potatoes as soon as frost cuts the vines, If not convenient to dig at once, cut the frosted vines off at once; or they will harbor fungus growth that will damage, the potatoes. , ,(Dig 6ft a warm sunny day-lay the potatoes along the row as dug, and do not allow them to be bruised by throwing into piles, ; Handle at ail times as gently as eggs. Allow them to lie in the sun our ing the day, and in the evening haul to a convenient place, Place a good lay er, a foot thick, of "pine or other straw on the ground, and on this, pile the po? to toes in steep heaps, not over 25 bush els in a pile Cover the piles thickly all over with the dry pine straw now build a" rough board shed over the piles, and let them remain until the weather grows colder, or umtil they have gone through a sweat and dried off.

' i The Russian Thistle. ,A One of the most noxious of Recent, emigrants from Europe Is tne socalled Russian thistle, Solsola Kali,, van tra gus. This weed is a .native of Russia where it has long been known as a ter rible ' pest m the wheat fields of , that empire.- In this country it first became troublesome in the wheat-growing seel tion of the Dnkotas. It has since spread into many of the western and north western states. . Such is the magnitude of this pest that the Senate of the Uni ted States in the last session of. con gress, passed a bill " appropriating 5U.OO0 000 for' exterminating it; but the appropriation failed to bsaoate a law. ' It is ttwe nature of this , weed when ripe to lose its hold upon the soil and roll up into a ball. In this form on the level windy prairies of the northwest it - is blown . for hundreds , of milesr spreading its seeds far and wide. While growing each plant forms a thick close patch killing out the grain, and may in this way ; ruin an, entire field- Tile seeds of this weed are . liable to be brought to North Carolina and other Southern' states with baled hay1 from the western states.. While in our more hilly'country the pest is not likely to become so injurious as it has now be come in the' west, it may still be able to cause the farmers of this state great loan. . RrssiAit Thistls (Kiture form of one brulio'n l. rcpicsenUa aedtl. Tuo cut to too loft shows a yeuuK branch. 'lhe cut shows he general appear-!, ance of the mature thistle1 and seed, also a branch: of a young plaut. It is hoped that our farmers will keep a sharp look out for this weed, and ex terminate it as soon as it appears. It is a dry land plant- and will be most troublesome on uplands. . - The grave . responsibility, for intro ducing this and other noxious weeds, such as the Canada thistle, must be ac cepted by those improvident farmers who buy and use western hay while living in a country able4 to produce as goo 1 hay and forage as any land upon which the sun shines.

Massey, Horticulturist, N. C. Experiment Station.) There is little difference in varieties of asparagus. Rich soil and good cul ture will make good shoots from, any kind. The Palmetto is now the most popular sort. You can get the seed fro.n any good seedsman. Seed sown in the snrin-r und well cared for in c-ood -toil will make you good roots for set ting the next fall, and the second year after setting you may get a fine crop. You will get no crop next spring from seed sown now. ..... -; : To Destroy Sprouts and Stamps, ' "Wbnt In tbe best way and when is the bent time to destroy sprouin from au aKpen tree whioh roruo up In my yard t ' H. 11. 11. Ba clgh, N. C. ... ( Answered by Gerald McCarthy, Botanist.) , The aspen is botunically a poplar Populus. tremuloides and is one of the most inveterate sprouters. The best time to destroy the tree and so prevent future sprouts is about August 15, at which time the roots are nearly, ex hausted by the summer trrowth And have not yet began to st9rfi KCJierye saa t-M-iui io next years growth. To get rid of the tree now the best plan is to cut it down and dig cut the main roots. Next year keep the sprou ts closely cu 'off and they will soon die' out.

To all intents And pur poses that half dollar had been ex pended,": wasted, ; dissipated , many months before. It had been omitted from all small calculations of daily expenses. ! Thrbuuh all the summer mouths it has lain there in the dark closet planning this pleasant surprise for October. How large and valuable it saems as it is brought into tho light! ' Tho owner wouldn't trade that half dollar for auy two-dollar bill that he ever earned. He tolls everyone the story, and seems to take credit for muoh cleverness in making the dis covery. Furthermore he continues the search through all last year's clothes, and every time his fingers touch a soft wad of lining or a crumpled play bill be catches his breath And wonders if this can be a roll pf paper money, hid den there by the satno good fairy that broufjht back to him his' beloved half dollar.

' The foregoing observations, founded on personal experience, had been of fered in the course of a general con versation upon the subject of finding thing in pockets. One man listened with amused interest and remarked that there was another side to the story. f ,"I brought out my light oyer coat the other day, and, as any other man would have done,, 1 felt in the" pockets," said he. "Of course tbcro was A forgotten handkerchief ' but what Interested me more was an uri opened letter addressed to my wife's sister ,in Ohio. , It had never been mailed. I put on my thinking cap and succeeded in recalling the fact that one day in May my wife had given me that letter with an urgent . request that J mail it on my way down town. I didn't say anything about finding the letter, but I mailed it If there is any question about the delay I'll put all the blame on the postal service." "I suppose every man has found in his last year's pocket the letter that wa to have been answered next day," said another. "I know that I have." A third man told the following, with the unnecessary assurance that it was strictly true:- "Oneof our neighbors on tho West side was sdrugglst. Up totho time of his death ho was supposed to be carrying 'A' life insurance policy for ten thousand dollars. The policy could not be found among his papers cither at the store or ot the house. The housd was rummaged front one end to thi bthor.without success. lt'Beemed that the insurance company Would not ' ac knowledge the policy, claiming it had lapsed frpm non-payment of premiums. Now it happened that he belonged td a uniformed secret society.'" As the lodge was to talce'charge df the funeral It was thought best to have the de ceased wear his uniform. It was taken out of . tho box where it bad been for months and the man who was dusting 1t heard a crinkle of paper. ' Ho thrust bis hand into the inside pocket and there wa the insurance policy. It would have been worthless if the mau had died tea days later. How it came to be in the inside pocket of that uni form no one could guews." ' ' 03,440 put. "Great Scott! Foster, Is it really you?"
