' . HEliK is a tyiio of good ^ sportsman, (ho exemplar of O | O a largo number in the ag% P uie^ato, who, year by year, TtfOtor tni'efully plans his hunting or tlshing trip with a view to its solitary enjoyment. He parades neither his preparation nor bis going. He has memories of prior trips whieli wero devoid of pleasure because of disagreeable companions. Therefore lie avoids * " nil party prearrnngements. It he lm? still n longing tov companions to share * Ills plcaBines, he Is satisfied "with the * transient companionship which elianc'e may hrjng to him as an incident.of Ills trip p,fter It hu? practically begun. He then is free at all times to readjust according to his humor, a privilege de. nieil to him when ho ts formally a member uf a party. There may lie exceptional instances in which a sportsman may shun companionship from motives of selfishness uium-, inn ins umnoer ih so small as to be n negligible quantity. The sport of Held ami stream has still enough of delights to engage the keenest Interests of the solitary sportsman; but to him a pleasure divided lias <*on$e to signify that some selflsh com\ panlon has tftynopolized It all. Formei'ly there was a stage of his preparation In which his friends were consulted anil invited and assisted, all done ayiiu nn exultation of spirit, u generosity of purpose and anticipations of common enjoyment, and thus nny subsequent heartburnings -were all ,tlie more painful and deterrent. It Is n common assumption, as a matter of course, If friends discover ns a Conversational fact that they have a liking for special sport, they -will enhance their sport by their agreeable companionship if together in Its pursuit.

Electric l'ower on the Central. )ne of the most wonderful englneer; operations ever contemplated is tho iversion of a nortlon of tlu> Vow Ycfrk Central Railroad from steam to electric traction. Tlio plans have been alijiost entirely completed, and in a short tiinO service as far as Tarrytown will be electric. '^he difficulties of the problem were enormous, both on account of the great toVnage to be hauled and the different classes of traffic. The main generating station, recently contracted for, is even somewhat ahead of the times, as the generators, each of some 7000 horse power, are to be driven by the new ahd almost untried steam turbines. Leaving the main station, the current will 1)0 carried by cables to the several substations, where it will be transformed from its high transmission voltage to ft lower one, ami then, converted Into direct current and fed to the third rail or t.olley wire. Both the third rail nnd overhead systems will be used, the former en the main lines, where switches and cross-overs arc comparatively few, and the latter In the yards, wl\ere the complex network of tracks would make the third rail almost an impossibility and a source of great danger. The through trains will be hauled out as rar as Tarry town liy huge plectric locomotives, and then will be given over to steam engines; while *the local traffic, both on the main line and the Harlem Division, will be handled by the "multiple unit system" similar to that now used on the elevated road, and to bo used on the underground. Indeed, it !s contemplated to run from the city rapid trnusit system right out over fbo Central tracks from all parts of the city without change of cars.?Collier's Week I v. j hliy N?w Jorify In 1'optimr.

For best ?csuns it is n good plan to use three horscK for work that would ho required of two under ordinary circumstances. This iH not done at an additional expense of one-tliird, because three horses will do more work thnn two, if the speed alone considered.

Wuihlne Potalooe. A Michigan farmer wbo handles over 2000 bushels of potatoes each year, washes every bushel, lie says: '"For live years I have washed n" potatoes and have never lost a bushel by rot after I put them away In the cellar. I pick up the potatoes as fas! as they are dug. They are then hauled to a suitable rack for washing, where a mill hose is turned on them with to lbs. pressure. In this way 100 bushels are washed clean enough in 10 minutes to bake or boil. I let them lie for a few minutes only, then pick -them up and put In one bushel crates, after which 1 hey stand in the sun or wind for from two to three hours. long enough to tlry nicely. The potatoes are then packed away in a cool, dry cellar, where they rema'.n until wanted for use or to sell. "I have found this to lie the most practical way to care for potatoes or other roots.

Protcct tho i'.umltlebccn. The bumblebee is one of the most valuable farm assistants known to the agriculturist. lie is necessary in the pollenizlng of blossoms in the orchards and meadows. He destroys but little fruit, and seldom attacks the cherry i or apple until it is too ripe for market i or family use. His mission on earth is that of peace and prosperity. In Germany his life Is protected by legislative enactnients.-^IIere he is chased About by the farmer boys and killed j on sl^ht. His services as n farm and j orchard assistant are not appreciated. Red clover blossoms do not form seed until the pollen is thoroughly mixed. For this reason, it is argued in many sections of the country, the first crop nf clover is n failure as a seed producer The bumblebee does not come from his winter resting place in time to work i on the clover blossoms, and hence the I pollen is not handled as it should be i to form seeds, In the early days of j agriculture this was merely n theory, j Now it Is published as n fact. and not j denied by any one nt all familiar with i the nature of plant life. Some interesting experiments have J been conducted nt agricultural colleges to demonstrate the value of the bum- i blehee in growing ved elover seed. > Last year at the Iowa station patches of clover heads v.-ere covered with j mosquito netting and similar sized j areas left uncovered. The cxperimen- j tal plats were six feet square. Cov- | erod patches for the tirst crop gave no ; seed, while those uncovered returned > 10 per cent of sin ordinary crop. For j the second crop the covered plants seeding wore only two. while those un- J covered numbered <>!'-! ll:at produced > seed. Plants near the nests of the humblebees always produce the host crops of seed. In a space of six square feet over two thousand heads of red clover | formed excellent seed. The humble- j bees had built nests in the clusters of ! clover roots. Those who are inclined i to kill every boo that comes about | should study thy nature of boos ami l?lant lifo.
