A German writer says Prof. Hollay
has been making experiments extending
over four years, to ascertain the most
profitable way of growing potatoes
From them it appears that tubers with
rough surface are both in quantity and
quality the most commendable. They
contain less water and more starch. II
the potatoes used as seed have been air.
dried and withered, the result has been
harvest of especially large tubers, not
less IN number on the average than il
the seed had been in the usual condi.
tion. Prof. Hollay believes further to
have reasons to conclude that as to the
position OF the tuber in the earth. il is
best to lay the tuber navel uppermost,
The renson is said to be that in this
position the germs spread wide apart,
and are deeper in the ground. The same
has been observed with potatoes cut in
pieces, when the cut surface should
always be uppermost. The Guilch
method of allotting to every plant hill
tor itself, billing crosswise and giving
space freely has been surpassed BY the
common Silesian method, with the plant
sixteen inches apart, laid in a groove
SIX inches deep and thirty inches apart.
The former method is said to foster the
best seed potatoes, but not equaline the
latter in quantity.

in British soil and cease his warfare
on the whites.
The Indians, Father Martin believes
are fully convinced that it is useless
for them TO further oppose the govern
ment. Sitting Bulls camp consists
of 100 lodges; Black Moons of about
1870 lodges; White Eagles OF 10
lodges. Sitting Bulls camp is on
Frenchman's creek, as stated, Black
Moons on the main branch of the
Little Rocky, and White Eagle is at
Woody Mountain.
The British officers say they can
readily control the sales of ammuni-
ton to the Indians and will DO so.
THE COUNTRY
where they are is almost wholly des-
titute Of timber and large belts of bad
lands are found but buffalo are abund-
n and Father Martin thinks it a
shame that the white man should be
required to support the Indian in idle
ness at the agencies when they can
take care of themselves so well in a
country not fit for settlement by The
whites.

Father Martins Visit to Sitting
Bull.

Lin our last we noted Father Martins
return from his visit to Sitting Bulls
camp. Since then we have had an
interview with him and have received
from his own lips the following inter
esting particulars:
Father Martin reached Fort Peck
May 10. Agent Mitchell aided him
in every possible am He left
the agency on the 18th of May accom-
panied by John Howard Interpreter,
and eight Indians. Bad weather and
the lnexperience of the Indian guides
delayed them somewhat but they
finally reached Sitting Bulls camp on
French creek, sixty miles north OF the
boundary line, on the 29th ult.
SITTING BULL
had heard OF their approach and sent
word that he would be glad to meet
the party but desired them to 90 to
the
YANkT0NAY CAMP
near by, and their course was changed
accordingly. In an hour or so Sitting
Bull and
THIRTY MOUNTED WARRIORS
made their appearance singing their
songs of welcome perhaps, perhaps OF
triumph. They extended their hands
and took the party to their camp and
%quartered them in a soldiers lodge.
Having lost q large number of horses
and most of their camp e%quipage and
supplies in crossing the river in the
spring they were very poor. They
had already exchanged two hundred
and eighty horses for things absolute
ly needed butstill were quite destitute
however, they made Father Martins
party as comfortable as possible. Sit
ting Bull sent word to
CYPRESS MOUNTAIN
and requested the attendance Of the
British officers at a council to be held.
He said he had been driven from his
fathers land and did not want to talk
with Father Martin until he

and required Father Martin, who new

Sitting Bull then made a passionate
appeal to Father Martin for the truth.
He said he was tired of lies and
wanted the truth. He complained Of
the treatment he had received from
the government indulging in fowery
language and metaphor and allegory
to a great extent, He said they had
attacked him without cause ard killed
his people and seemed to seek blood

Father Martin was reminded that the
