ExPoRrATIoE.-Ther recent experiment of
exporting beat, fruit, and other perishable
goods to England having been unsuccessful,
it is now proposed to charter the Great
Eastern as transport of live cattle, to ply
between Gaveiston and London. We may
form some estimate of the possibilities of
the establishment of such a trade when it
is known that the increase in the export of
live stock from the United States to Eng
land in the year ending June 30 was 3d.
800 head Of cattle, and 1000 head of sheep.
The actual number exported was S0,040
cattle and 1895 sheep. In addition
thereto, 100000 pounds of beef went
over, an increase of 100000 pounds. The
Great Eastern is the largest vessel aAoat,
having a length over all of 652 feet, of
10000 tons burthen, and carrying capacity
of 1900 head of cattle, and 1900 head of
sheep. 1t will be hard to over-rate the
many advantages of live stock carrying
trade by the biggest ship in the world, to
the b;rra. .-v Of the world, from the big
gesC state of the Unon.-Media Record.

For years we have been troubled with
burdocks, and, notwithstanding repeated
moving during the Summer, they would
form seed in the Fall. After many expert
ments, certain and speedy remedy for
the pests has been discovered in kerosene
oil. If a small quantity be poured int, the
hearts of the plants, directly after cutting,
they will disappear entirely, roots and
stalks, leaving no trace of their former ex.
istence save small hole in the earth where
they stood. Refined or crude oil will ac-
complish the purpose equally we'll.

There are many beet fields in Maine
from the seashore to Aroostook county,
which will yield from fifteen to twenty tons
of beets per acre, which means from $50 to
$50 cash. The tops are at least an equiva-
lent to half ton of the best hay, and each
field which yield fifteen to twenty tons of
beets in cash value will yield twelve tons
of pumice of those beets at feeding value
of at least two and half tons of hay. This
most valuable cattle feed ought to go back
to the beet raiser, who can we'll afford, after
making $50 to $50 per acre in cash, to feed
this pumice to his milch COWS and young
stock, and thus lay most substantial foun-
dation for prosperity. The beet pumice,
fed with corn fodder, hay, etc., will give
most valuable manure and plenty of it, and
when eventually the sugar factories are To-
Gated in the country villages, where their
proper place is, and the farmer has, besides
the advantages here enumerated, also the
advantage of taking scum from the sugar
works to his fields; then and then only
has he reached the point at which he can
justly say sugar beet growing enriches the
land. Then the European proverb will be
applicable "The more beets the more
meat, the more meat the more grain, and
the more of the three the more money

The Potato Crop.

All accounts agree that the potato crop
for 1878 will be q bountiful one, and the
quality generally good. A letter from
eastern Maine informs us that the crop
there Except when damaged by rust in
parts of Washington county, will be ex-
cellent. The Boston market depends
chiefly upon the State of Maine and Prince
Edwards Island for its best potatoes. The
potato crop of the United States in 1850
amounted to 65,797, 1896 bushels; i'll 1860,
to 111,14S,S67 bushels of Irish," and
100000 of sweet potatoes. In 1874 the
crop of Irish potatoes was about 100000
900, and last year it was estimated at 145,-
100000. The leading States in the pro-
duction of this excellent esculent are New
York, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Ohio,
whose total yield embraces nearly one-third
the entire yield of the country. The lead
ing or principal varieties of potato now in
cludes some eighteen or twenty kinds, the
Early London White and White Peach
blow yielding the largest quantity from a
given quantity of seed, and the Early
Goodrich and Red Peachblow coming next
in the matter of prolifcness, the Early
Rose, however, maturing earlier than all
other kinds A potato better known in
New York State as Breese's Peerless" #"
has been known to yield at the rate of 160
barrels to the acre; and the Harrison" i"
66 barrels to the acre. The "Chili White
has been known to produce 1l45 barrels to
the acre. In comparing the different
varieties of potatoes good deal of allow
ance must be made respecting the kind OF
soil, the kind of weather. the kind of
manure and the kind of attention shown
in their cultivation, in order to arrive at a
true test of the comparative merits of the
various kinds of potatoes. We remember
when a barrel of the King of the Earlies''
once realized $40; the Early Rose" as
high as $50 per barrel, and "Breese's Peer.
less" $l2 per barrel; but those prices re-
suited from demands for the seed.- Some
of the varieties mentioned as being very
early and prolific have sadly deteriorated
and are suitable only for stock.
1t is stated that the American potatoes
which thrive the best, showing the most
vigor on English soil, are the Early Good
rich and "Breese's Prolific" having pro
duced at one time 1900 pounds of potatoes
respectively from one pound of seed. The
popular early Rose" of America also
thrives well in England. In the growing
of the potatoe it has become an established
fact that different soils are required fol
different varieties, if not different methods
of culture, in order to the attainment oi
the best results.-Boston Caliuator.

This Sarsaparillais combination of

of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined, that the full Alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-
try repose in it, provo their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence of the superiority of this Sar-
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superb
ority to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
