GRAPHING POTATOES

The idea of grating potatoes for the
purpose OF uniting the good qualities of
two different varieties, Was introduced to
my notice through the columns of the
Burial New Yorker about two yetrs ago.
| must confess had but little faith, but
concluded the best way to determine the
value of the i3ea WAS by actual test. [
commenced by selecting specimen of
the Early RISE and another called the
Cherry Blow, potato OF dark red color
and but very little earlier Than the Peach
Blow. | removed the eyes from the
Cherry Blow by cutting out piece of
0blong hape running to point. la
these cavities Inserted the eyes of the
Early Rose, cut out liz the SINE shape,
fitting them in nicely aud binding them
with bass strings. The first year sue
ceeded IN saving but one tuber. The
following spring cut this one to single
eyes, planted ia good soil, gave ordinary
cultivation. and about the first Of Sep
tender harvested nearly Il peck of good
sized potatoes, possessing the character
issics of botn the orr tlnal varieties in
this, that they we're earlier than the
Cherry Bow and later than the Early
Rose, md color about medium between
the two. i think Ivy selecting for seed
each year those psrtaking of the nature
of both varieties. | will have a potato
superior 70 the Peach Blow in one re-
spect--it will be eariier.-Rural NeO

white arms about it, SO that at every pull
OF the great ropes it crushed ito the flesh
It tore her, and wounded and bruised
but there in the solemn twilight the brave
oman swung, and fought with the cruel
curfeU; and God gave her victory!
The old bei-ringer said to himself:
"Aye, Hudah, my work is done. The
pulleys are getting too heavy for my Old
arms Ny ears too, have failed me at
last. / dinna hear one stroke OF the cui-
few. Dear old bell, it is my ears tina
have gone false, and not thou. Farwell,
old frielaa"
And just beyond the worn pavement a
shadowy form again went fitting past
him. There were drops Of blood upon
the white garments; and the face was like
the face Of one who walked liz her sleep,
ard the hands hung wounded and power
less at her side,
Cromwell paused with his horsemen
under the dlsmantled may pole before the
village green. He saw the man who Yves
to die at sunset standing up in the dusk
air. tall as a king and beautiful as Absa-
lom. He gazed with knitted brow and
angry ey 2; but Lis lips did not give utter
ance to the quick command that trembled
on them, for young girl came flying
toward him. Pikeman ana archer stepped
aside to let her pass. She threw herself
upon the turf at his horses feet; she lifted
her bleeding and tortured hands to his
gaze, and once more poured out her prayer
fer the life Of her lover; with trembling
lips she told him why Richard still lived
why the curlew had never sounded.
Lady Maud, looking out o. her latticed
window at the castle, saw the great Pre-
tector dismount, lift the faiDtlng .orm in
his arms, land bear her to her lover. She
saw the guards release the prisoner, and
she heard the shouts of joy at his deliver
ance; then she welcomed the night that
shut the scene ont from from ner tnYious
eye and sepultured her in its gloom.
AT the next matin bell old Jasper died,
and at curtew toll he was laid beside the
wife who had died in his youth, but the
memory of whom had been with him
always.
