WHOLE Or CUT POTATOES
%'#G FOR SEED. "a

Nearly fifty years ago Thomas An
drew knight, President Of the Lon
don Horticultural Society, wrote a
very exhaustive essay upon tie
above-named subject, proving con
cluslvely TO many that whole potatoes
were tar preferable to pieces of tu-
bsrs for planting. Mr. Knight, at
that time and for many succeeding
years, was considered in Great Bri-
tain the highest authority living on
horticultural SUBJECTS, consequently
his opinion carried great weight
among the people. His idea was
that a tl'her, as a whole, war but one
seed, like a kernel of corn. But we
now consider potato tuber more
like sn ear of corn, containing many
seeds, each Of which is capable OF
producing plant equal in strength
and value to the whole combined.
OF course, there are hundreds of
farmers who will and do cling to Thu,
old theory Of Mr.. Knights, despite
all the science or practice to the
contrary. The enormous yield Sc
cured from the various new sorts
within he past few years, and fire.
quently referred to in the the agri-
cultural journal, all Of which have
been produced from cut seed, should
begin to awaken the sticklers for
whole seed and set them to making
experiments In this direction. No
on will suppose for a moment that
the yields reported in the case of the
Bliss prizes for Early Vermont and
Compton Surprise, could have been
secured by planting whole tubers.
Those farmers who believe that whole
tubers are best for seed should look
at these fgures-51l1, GOT, 437 and
'456 pounds, raised by different men
in different localities, each having
but one pound for seed. These facts
AM figures are worth a dozen theo-
~ies, and well worth remembering n

Beans should not be planted till
all danger OF frost is over, as they
are very sensitiye TO its influence.
They can be sown broadcast, in
drills or in hills. They will bear

other seed OF its size; in ordinary,

WASHINGTON.
Resolutions in Favor OF an In.
crease Of Currency Voted
Down.

WASHINGTON, January lS.-In the
House bills were introduced for pur-
chasing the Monticello homestead of
Thomas Jefferson. and granting all the
public land in Alabama for school pur-
poses.
Mr.. Wilson, of Indiana, moved to
suspend the rules and adopt the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Whereas, BY reason of the present
monetary stringency and the INSULT
cheney of the amount of circulating
medium, the industry and commercial
affairs of the country have been de-
pressed; and, whereas, by reason of
such stringency the revenues of the
government have been largely dimin-
ished, in consequence whereof Con-
gress has been asked to increase tax
alton to the amount of forty-two mil
lion dollars; and, whereas, until the
recent panic the revenues were ample
to meet the current expenses of the
government; therefore,
Resolved, That instead of levying
additional taxes, the true policy lies in
the enactment of such a law or laws as
will release such stringency and sup
ply the means necessary to the bust
mess wants of the country by increas-
ing the circulating medium, thereby
reviving business, increasing the reve-
nues and thus avoiding the necessity
of increasing the present rates of taxa
ton or the imposition of additional
taxes or duties.
Resolved, That the committee on
Banking and Currency be instructed
to prepare and report to the House,
without delay, bill for the purpose in
the first resolution expressed, and that
said committee have leave to report mt
any time.
Mr.. McCreary, of Iowa, called for
the yeas and nays.
Mr.. Speer, of Pennsylvania, inquir-
ed whether the question of considera.
ton could be raised?
The Speaker said that that question
was raised-the motion was to suspend
that rule and all other rules.
Mr.. Dawes, of Massachusetts,, re-
marked that the subject was before
two committees at present and had
been discussed in the House last Satur-
day. He suggested that instead OF
L
having vote now, the resolutions be
simply introduced and set down for
debate at some time, so that the varl-
Gus views of members might be brought
out and that the committee on ways
and Means and the committee on
Banking and Currency might have
the benefit of those views. The com,
mittee OH Ways and Means proposed
to report something tomorrow, which
would be the subject of debate, con-
fined to this matter
Dir. Holman, of Indiana, objected to
discussion.
Mr.. Randall, of Pennsylvania, re-
marked that the committee on Bank
ing and Currency was holding sessions
every day, even during the slt.lng VI
the House, listening to the views OF
gentlemen from various parts OF the
country.
Mr.. Wilson said that this question OF
increased currency was exciting "

Orange Culture, Eucalyptus. etc

Judge Dunne has just received two bar rels of orange seed from San Francisco, which he has imported to give an oppor tunity for testing the possibility Of inaug urating the culture of the orange in Ari- zOna. The profits from this culture are enormous as compared with the outlay Of money, time and labor. The net profits at Los Angeles are set down at about one thousand dollars per acre, and one man can attend twenty acres. We don't know of any easier or quicker way for a man without capital to get 6 net income of S20000 a year than to start an orange grove. The Judge will be happy to pre- sent the seed free tO any one desirOuS of giving the matter & fair test.
 The Judge has also a lot of seed of the celebrated Eucalyptus or Australian gum tree, noted for its wonderfully rapid growth and singular power of destroying miasma fin it's neighbOrhOOd. He has also seed of the English walnut, the acacia and several other ornamental trees, all of which he is desirous Of distributing to peo- pie in different sections of the Territory, who are interested III such things and will make an honest effort 10 test the adapta- bility Of their locality for culture of this kind.
 In this connection, we would be very glad to have persons familiar with the culture of any of these several trees, to give us their experience for publication, to the end that all may know how to best culti- vate them.
