MUST WE GIVE UP THE POTAToE


This question is asked by the New York
Tribune, which insists upon it that this cscu-
lent must not be given up. The paper attri-
butes in part the degencracy of potatoes to
the cutting Of those used for seed. Another
theory in regard TO the cause of the rotting of
this plant is that it is the effect of excessive
moisture in the hill. II is said that the rot
manifests itself Just after rain, followed b,
intense heat of the sun. But such thing.

A writer in the Tribune says.
Two gentlemen unknown to each other,
who grew potatoes last year under widely

gested to us is this Plow the ground deep

Tur PArERNAL IIEAp-A certain Judge.
while attending court in a shire town. was
passing along a road where a boy was lust
letting down the bars to let some cattle in. -
His father stood in the door of his home, on
the opposite side Of the road, and seeing what
his hopeful son was doing shouted out:
John, don I you drive these cattle in there.
| told You to put them in the pasture behind
the house
The boy took no notice whatever Of the
remonstranco, and his father repeated the Or
der in u louder tone, without the least effect ;
and the third time gave positive orders not
TO drive the cattle in there. The son did not
even deign to look up, and disoboyed the pa
rental injunction with GOODNESS which pos
itiyely shocked the Judge who. looking at
the culprt. said, in tone Of official dignity:
boy, don't you hear your father speaking
to you;'
"Oh, y-a-a-s, replied the youth. casting a
glance at the Judge and then at his parent.
