AMERICAN PoTAroEs IN ENGLAND
Steadily our industries are pressing on
English products. The London Times
asserts that even American potatoes
threaten to drive out the homebred arti-
Gle. 1t is not so many years ago but
the position that an American potato
was equal to an English one would have
been ridiculed. Our seed growers
introduced the choicer American varie-
ties 10 public notice, and they won
their way TO popular favor. The Times
now notes that American potatoes no
longer come into their markets as
seeds, but have, during the last year.
taken the higher ground of wares .,
being imported in large quantities for
direct consumption, and il then pays us
the following compliment: This fact
illustrates in the most striking manner
the productive powers of American
farming, which is not only aided by a
favorable climate, but by the applica.
ton 10 it of thebest results of human
ingenuity and invention. On his own
ground the potato bng appears TO be
well matched by good cultivation We
are glad to be able to refer TO this
candid avowal by orr European
contemporary, because it confirms a
point we often make that the prevalent
tendency to understand our own
progress in agricultural improvement
is baseless and absurd.-EI.

Cutting Timber and Building.

Timber TO last should be cut from the
last of August toithe first of January.
many people used to claim that Febru-
airy was the time to cut timber; but
when we have January thaw the sap
must start, aud the more sap there is in
timber the more apt timber is to rot.
1t is the freest from sap in October, ana
as it is then ripe il would look reason
able that this would be the time to cut

How TO BLEED A HoRsE.-Bleeding
is generally done in the jugular vein
with broad bla6ed lancet, and when
the vein is sufficiently pressed and sc.
cured, so as to cause it TO swell, then
the point of the lancet is sent in with
the left hand, and. cutting upwards,
makes all the opening necessary.
When sufficient blood is taken the cut
ought to be squeezed together and
fastened with pin. BY pressing the
vein below the wound the blood will
shoot ont in stream and fall clear into
the bucket ready to receive it.

NER VOLUME.

With this issue the SENTINEL enters its
twenty-fourth volume, and with much more
prosperity favoring her than at any former
year. The existence is due the favoritism OF
patrons, who arc now kindly thanked and
will always in the future be remembered.
We shall not occupy space to speak Of our
prosperity and the cause of prosperity 10 this
case, for self-praise is decidedly compre-
hended by us, but speak Of our course within
the past year.
Within that time II has been our only en-
deavor TO cater in general news and miscel-
Iany to the taste Of every one. IF we have
failed in this II has been from no lack Of en-
ergy or industry, but from lack Of ability.
III failure to report all local occurrences in
the SENTINEL has been made, this neither are
We at fault for. This remissness is chargable
to the persons in the communities in which
the occurrences happened who have the ability
to mako the report and neglect 20 do so. Again
we repeat, as has been done again and again,
our invitation to oil to send the news from
their sections.
To do credit II must be said that our patrons
have within the time spoken of been more
energetic in getting up county news for the
SENTINEL In one section to enlighfen those of
another section than formerly, but it has not
reached the extent that is wished for IT,
