so small that we must be paid FOR 1t every time.
We have found that we must either give the
paper to some or charge more TO those who do
pay, this would not be treating our real friends

We do not thiuk We viii lose many subscri.
bers who noic pay US, for they will not quit
taking the paper because they have TO pay for
it in advance, while We will not be at the ex'
pense of supplying certain characters with the
Sentinel, simply on promise.
The result of this system will he this we
will be paid for oil tie papers we issue. The
time we devote TO collecting and hunting mp

many good reasons for this move.

little boy Of twelve at his elbow asked what
it was 90. nothing but a potato. my
boy; take and plant it, and you shall have
all you can raise fromit I'LL you are of age.
The lad took il, and the farmer thought no
more about il at that time. The boy.
however, not despising small potatoes,
carefully divided il into as Iaauy pieces as
he could fad eyes, aud put them in the
ground The product wss carefully put
aside in the Fall, aud seed for several hills
was obtained for the next Spring. The
product was all kept for seed, until the
fourth year, the yield being good, the nat
ural product was four hundred bushels
The farmer, SCI ing the prospect that by
another year the potato field would cover
his whele' farm. asked TO be released ison
