two different varieties, was Introduced to

must confess l had but little faith, but con.
ciuced the best way to determine the val

menced oy selecting specimen of the
Early Rose and another called the Cherry
Blow. q potato of dark red color and but
very little earlier than the Peach Blow.
removed the eyes from the Cherry Blow
oy cutting out piece of oblong shape
running to point. In these cavities in.
serted the eyes Of the Early Rose, cut out
in the same shape, fitting them nicely and
binding them with bass strings. The first
year succeeded in saving bus one tuber
The following spring cut this one to sin.

September harvested nearly . peck of good
sized potatoes. possessing the characteris.

that they were earlier than the Cherry
Blow aud later than the Early Rose. and

~Too eoor to Take u raper.,,

Moore, Of the Rural New Yorker, was
sitting in his Office one afternoon some
years ago, when farmer friend came in
and said: "Mr. Mo re, like your pa
per, but times ale so hard ! cannot pay
for it.''
"Is that so, friend Jones I'm very sor-
ry to hear that you are so poor; if you are
so hard run I will give you my paper"
80, no, can't take it as a gift -
"Well, then, let's see how we can fix it.
You raise chickens, l believer"
Eyes. a few: but they don't bring any
thing hardly.''
"Don't they p? Neither does my paper
cost anything hardly. Now, have pro-
position to make to you. Twill continue
your paper, and when you 60 home you
may select from your lot one chicken and
call her mine. Take good care of her and
bring me the proceeds, whether in eggs or
chickens, and We will call it square,
"All right, brother Moore" and the fel-
low chuckled at what he thought cap
ital bargain. He kept the contract strictly,
and at the end of the year found that he
had paid about four prices for his paper.
He often tells the joke himself, and he
never had the face to say he was too poo,
to take a paper since that day Model

Morrow Gauge.

D. R. W. Williams is driving work on
the Tonah 4 Chicago Narrow Gauge 4
X. from Wauzeka to Reedstown, and it is
expected that trains will be running over
that portion Of the road by the middle Of
September. The rails used are maple,
which are sawed out three and half to
tive inches; these are gained into the ties,
and fastened at the ends with dowel pins,
the gains in the ties are made q trifo lar.
ger than will admit the rails, and either
side of the rail is driven wedges in orpo-
site directions. These maple rails are ob'
tanned at a cost Of Sl5 per thousand feet
being required to lay mile of track. II
IL estimated that the maple rail will last
over one year without repairs, hence the
interest on the capital invested in iron rail
would relay maple track every twelve
months. Last fall on Eikader road in
Iowa, aportion Of the track was laid with
maple rails, and an examination Of them
made this spring, shows that they have not
beeu injured in the least by Constant use
There is no doubt that the wooden rail
will be extensively used in sections OF
country where heavy capitalists do not
wish to invest their money to the extent of

The Wave Of Progress.
tPiOneer 18th inst. J


It is encouraging to note the steady ex-
tension Of the opposition movement in all
sections of the country. 1t is the seed of
reform whose growth will certainly bring
forth fruit. Before it, rings and regencies
that have so long held sway, will be con-
sumed like prairie stubble in sweeping
tire. 1t is the only promising movement
now in progress in the interest of equal
rights and common humanity. It's pur-
pose is to lift up the poor and lowly to
reduce the proud and insolent to the nat
ural level of their own littleness; to break
the letters of party, and to alter the policy
Of government by total change of rulers.
There are no public evils which this move
ment does not propose to strike down-no
abuses it intends to spare. Left free to
work its purposes, it will speedily revise
tariff laws, and reduce duties to revenue
standard. 1t will open the markets Of the
world; cheaper supplies; double the gains
Of labor; give value to irredeemable cur
rency; and everywhere enforce the rule of
honesty, economy and reform. In alliance
with other opposing forces it will prove an
irresistible movement, before which cor
ruption and monopoly will be forced to
give way.
