The rig hts Of citizens are defined very
much as in our own bills Of rights. No
person can defend disobeaience OF the
constitution by pleading that he actedua

tribunals OF commissions can ba created for

the rights Of citizens contrary to Inv are
personally liable. There is no impsison

POTATOES ON SOD GROUND.

A good clover sod is one of the best
preparations for potatoes. Any tougher
sod is good to make a crop, and to guard
against rot. The objection to it is the diff
ticulty in getting the sod mellow enough
for easy working. If plowed in August or
September the sod rots well. If plowed
in the spring, it should be done deep
enough to admit of cross-ploughing with
out disturbing the sod. Harrow very
thoroughly. Mark out the rows both ways
thirty inches apart. Bush harrow just be-
fore the potatoes are up to kill the weeds.
Start the cultivator or Shares harrow a
week or ten days later, going as near the
potatoes rs possible, and stirring all the
surface soil. If the tops have light COW
ering of dirt it will not harm them. Guilt
vate them the second time the other way of
the rows. Two or three eyes to the hill are
enough. Go through the potatoes third
time, to pull weeds. This often makes a
difference of twenty-five per cent in the
yield. If the ground is made smooth and
mellow, the hoe will hardly be needed
nearly all the weeds can be reached with
the cultivator, and the expense of hand
hoeing be saved. If the land is very rough
and full of sods, the hoe must be used.-
Unless planted very early, cut into pieces
with one or two eyes.-Agricu lturist.
