Storing Potatoes.

Every method has been tried by
farmers to store and preserve theirpota-
toes through winter, and we may say
until potatoes come again. 1t is the
most valuable of all vegetables, though
here and there we find writer who
undertakes to tell us that it is of little
value though universally consumed
in all civilized countries, as well as
where 1t cannot be grown it is import
ed, which can be done long distances
without injury, when ventilation is
attended to.
In storing potatoes several methods
are adopted, yet they are all practically
the same, the object being to protect
them against freezing, whether buried in
pits, or stored in cellars. The first
consideration is to keep them in perfect
darkness the next is, the bins should
not be too deep-not over three feet-to
produce warmth and cause them to
sprout. When stored in the field,
straight trenches are dug, say twenty
feet in length and four or five feet wide
which are filled to the depth of three
feet with potatoes then well covered
with straw, on top of which put eigh-
teen or twenty inches of earth. In
pit twenty feet long there should be
three gas escapes or ventilating open
ings, which should be plugged with
straw and covered with board set at
angle to turn the rain. If in cellar,
barn or otherwise, the bins should be
covered with rugs, old carpeting or
starw. Those intended for late spring
sales should be frequently examined,
and all sprouts removed; for soon as
potato begins to sprout it loses its solid
ity, dryness and quality

English way of Preserving Fruit.

A new method of preserving fIuit is
practised in England. Pears, apples
and other fruits are reduced to a paste,
which is then pressed into cakes and
gently dried. When required for use,
it is only necessary to pour four times
their weight of boiling water over them,
allow them to soak twenty minutes,
and then add sugar to suit the taste.
The fine flavor of the fruits is said to be
retained to perfection. The cost of the
prepared product is hardly greater than
that of the original fruit, differing in
supply and price of the latter the
keeping qualities are excellent, so that
it may be had at any time of the year,
and bears long sea voyages without
detriment, so there is no waste.

Sowing on Horseback.

A writer in the Country Gentleman
says :"Numerous have been theinstruc-
tions for preserving the almost " lost
art of sowing grain by hand, there
remains one mode that has escaped
mention, and which, mentioned, will
probably be derided by those who have
not tried it. I allude to sowing on
horseback. Sulky rakes, sulky rollers,
etc., are regarded as useful contrivances
for the saving of human labor, but none
of your correspondents appear to have
thought of making horse preform the
labor of walking and carrying seed bag
and sower to and fro across the field
during the operation of sowing the
grain. And yet, long experience, the
writer has found that he could distrib-
ute seed more regularly from the saddle
than on foot, and with far more ease
and comfort-as any good horseman
will find after short practice. Grass
seeds, however, being lighter than
grain, are best sown on foot.''

ca Corn loses one-fifth by drying,
and wheat one-fourteenth. From this
the estimate is made that it is more
profitable for the farmer TO sell unshell-
ed corn in the fall at 75 cents than at 81
bushel in the following summer, and
that wheat at S1.25 in December is equal
to S1.40 in the succeeding June. In
case of potatoes taking those that rot
and are otherwise lost-together with
the shrinkage, there is little doubt that
between October and June the loss to
the owner who holds them is not less
than thirty-three per cent.

BELL THE MURDERER ACQUITTED.

In the Bell murder case, wherein q dis
tinguished &c ntleman by that name was
tried for the cold FLOODED killing of G. f.
Lee, a Deadwood jury has rendered indig.
nant the entire community by returning a
verdict Of not guilty. The following items
from the Deadwood Times were printed in
honor of their decision:
Bell, we understand, has forgiven the
members of the petit jury who passed on his
case, for not rendering a verdict of acQuittal

Bell.
Some Of the leading citizens were going
around arm in arm aud from saloon TO ga

to the timid citizens that they were not
afraid.
Bell says this is the safest country for his
business that he knows Of, and intends to
stay. He was packing his big revolver
around to-day that he brought into the
country with him.
One of the petit Jurors in the Bell case
met an old friend last evening and asked
what be thought of the jurors action

TEXT BOOKS FOR SCHOOLS AGAIN.

Editors Press and Dokotaian The com.
munication in your last daily issue on this
topic. is we'll worthy of the attention Of
teachers and Legislators, and will bear dis.
c%ussion. The plan suggested in that article
is probably to some extent the individual
plan of the writer thereof, as the action
taken by the superintendent at Sioux Falls
was understood to go no further than to
urge the legislature to take some action to
procure = uniform standard Of text books in
the territory.
How far this action represented the opin-
ions Of the county superintendent of the
thirty-6ve organized counties of Dakota,
will be seen from the facts that only FIVE
county superintendent were present at
Sioux Falls F; four only we're present when
the above resolution was carried. or those
four, two voted for a resolution to memori-
alize the legislature to secure uniformity of
school books, one voted against it, and one
refused to vote; hence the proposition of
two officers, opposed by two, if not
three, others, is put forth as the
desire Of the suPerintendents; and then the
details of the plan are added subsequently,
by some one else, in a way that u~niuten-
carries the impression of the whole
having been produced at the meet
ing of superintendent.
The plan proposed by "Ex.' is excellent,
as far a. regards securing the best books at
cheap rates, and should by no means be
lightly considered. But "Ex." is a little
visionary in thinking that legislative action

DEATH OF HON. MARK N. BAILEY.

A letter from Boscobsl, Wisconsin, to A.
W. Barber, ofthis city contains an announce
ment Of the dea:h, at that place, Of Hon.
Mark w. Bailey, Of Canton, Dakota. The
letter states That he was buried at Boscobel,
the home of his parents. last Sunday. Our
acquaintance with Mr.. Bailey Was limited
to the forty days session Of the last legisls-
ture, in which he occupied a leading place
as one of the representatives ofthe sixth dis
trict in the council. He there exhibited an
ability which at once gave him a prominent
position among our legislators and this pc
sition was sustained throughout the entire
session. We have regarded Mr.. Bailey as
one of the rising young men Of Dakota who
wonld have made for himself an en-
viable record had he been permitted to re.
main among US. The seeds Of his final and
fatal disease were planted in his system
years ago and the malady developed itself
in the spring of 1877 through the hardships
of q few months experience in the then I'M
settled Blgck Hills portion Of our territory,
From that time he has been gradually fail
ing and though every means has been en-
ployed to stay the works of the destoyer,
the inevitable result has comes and Mark
Bailey has gone to meet the reward OF the
faithful, whose brief, years IN earth were
filled with we'll doing. An abcess in the
region of his lungs was The cause Of hi.
death. He was between thirty and thirty
five years OF age and leaves a family.
