D~AaaErT's STRONG SUIT
From the Gold Hill News.
Daggett, our stalwart Congressman from
Nevada, has been put on the Committee on
Militia. This is eminently proper, for he
has q mighty malitia-ous element in his
disposition, and believes in military rule
every time where civil rule fails. They
also put him on the Committee on Census,
which was also eminently proper in con-
nection with his military appointment. In
fantry is his strong suit.
A ooR INDICTMENT.
From the San Francisco Stock Exchange.
The Virginia Footlight suggests that a
statue Of the late Governor Bradley, COM
msmorating him and his honesty be erected
sin front OF the Capitol, where the statue
would be visible from the windows OF the
Senate and Assembly Chamber" The sug-
gestion is not good. A Pacific Coast
sculptor would probably be intrusted with
the making Of it, and it would be so hid
eous that even honest officials would steal
in order to preclude a similar assault upon
their persons after death.

THE new Constitution, says tho San
Francisco Commercial Advertiser, is a
snake in the grass. 1t does not come
truthfully and boldly out, and say what it
really means, but it hides its actual inten-
tions under o haze Of sophistry; and while
it means destruction and revolution, it
falsely proclaims prosperity and peace. 1t

THE adoption of the new Constitution Of
California, will stop the incorporation of
mining companies; it will prevent persons
with capital seeking to invest in mining
enterprises; it will check the operations
Of prospecting companies, and thereby
lessen demand for mining labor; and that
lessened demand will result in a reduction
Of miners wages. The new Constitution
is hostile to mining, and for that reason,
II for no other, the population of the min
ing counties OF California should vote SOL
idly against il.

Every method has been tried by farmers to
store and preserve their potatoes through the
winter, and we may say, until potatoes come
again. 1t is the most valuable of all vegeta-
bles though here and there we find a person
and writer who undertakes to tell us of its
Embellishments. 1t is universally consum-
ed in all civilized countries, as where it can
not be grown it is imported which can be
done long distances without injury when ven
tilation is attended to.
In storing potatoes several methods are
adopted, yet they are 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 dcep-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 wde which are filed to the depth of
three feet with potatoes, then well covered
with straw, on top of which put eighteen or
twenty inches of earth. In pit twenty feet
long there should be about three gas escapes
ventilating openings, which should be
plugged with straw and covered with board
set at an angle to turn the rain. If in cellars,
barn or otherwise, the bins should be cover
ed with rugs, old carpetings or straw. Those
intended to be kept for late spring sales
should be frequently examined and all sprouts
removed for as soon as a potato begins to
sprout it loses its solidity dryness and quail

have been very much puzzled, as have
hundreds and thousands of others, for the
last few years, because all the fine kinds of
Irish potatoes played out in few years.
Poachblows are common no moro we hard
" ever see Carter nowadays; the white
Neshaunocks are no more seen in the land,
and the brigham Seeding is about run out,
rs well as many other kinds which in years
past were the favortcs with the farmers and
consumers. What long list of nice potatoes
we had in times past Where are they now
What the reason is that so many varieties of
this very important article of food should de-
generate and even become extinct will not
now try to explain. know no more than
others who have attempted to explain it, and
l suppose that no one has yet offered an ex-
PLANTATION that appeared sufficient or satisfac
tory. We ought to know what the trouble is
and we can find out by experiment, perhaps
recommend to agriculturists to adopt plan
not one wait for anothcr-but all who posi-
bly, can next year see il something cannot be
done to improve the potato, and perhaps re-
store some of the old varieties.
l. Get seed from distance every year.
Never save any potatoes for seed on your own
place. Save seed to exchange with some one
five hundred or thousand miles away, or
only to get other seed 1t would only cost
freight to exchange with friend or acquaint-
ance out west or down south Get seed from
a distance every time you plant. l think it
would do better to come from locality hav-
ing q climate different from that in which it
is to be grown. At any rate l have seen n
neighbor practice the exchange for seven or
eight years and he never had light crops of
potatoes, never any rot in them. He sent off
for his seed every year, aud for his garden
corn and beans. peas and some other seeds
every two years. But every year he has
fresh seed for potatoes from distance. He
always had the best garden of any one i'll his
vicinity and kept it up. He was early in the
market as any one with vegetables and noted
for the excellence of his garden products.
New England's climate is believed to be as
good as any on this continent for Irish pota-
toes, and it seems a pity that we cannot keep
up the supply without so much trouble and
expense. Early Rose are most common where
1 live, and they have been quite good for the
early sort, but at the same time think they
are deteriorating and will peter OUT like
the other kinds.
2. Never use an ounce of barnyard ma
nure or any similar fertilizer. Wood ashes is
the best fertilizer ever used for potatoes, and
can always be had That or something with
the same chemical properties should always
be used. do no mean that you must get
chemist to ascertain all the qualities of wood
ashes, but that clean soil with alkaline salts
added will help potatoes amazingly, even on
soil not naturally rich.
This comprises all l recommend on the
subject. A yearly change of seed and wood
ashes for manure will certainly help the po-
tato crop in this region. Perhaps it will re-
store the choice varieties of old times, make
the rot disappear, and produce Ms large crops
as of old-COr ". h. UOneStCdd

How to MaLc boot. Ma.erproof.

A good composition for rendering boots
proof against snow and wet can be made of
one part mutton tallow and two parts bees
wax melted together. 1t should be applied
to the leather ut night, and then wipe Oft the
boots with bit of Colored flannel in the
morning. OF course it will be more difficult
to make boots thus treated take a good pol
ish, but after u few times they will be as sus-
ceptible of II brilliant polish rs ever.
Half an ounce of Burgundy pitch, dissolved
in half pint of drying oil, and mixed with
half an ounce of turpeutine, will not only
make leather resist wet and damp, but will
also render it more durable, pliable and soft
en- Warm the boots n little over the stove,
and then apply the mixture with a soft brush
or swab. Let them dry thoroughly, then
paint them over again. Put them in a warm
dry place for twenty-four hours, and you will
have a pair of perfectly waterproof boots.
Still another waterproof composition can
be made by dissolving an ounce of powdered
resin in a quarter Of a pint of linseed oil,
over the stove put it in tin basin, and
place that in a pan of boiling water. When
it is boiling hot, slice into it two ounces of
mutton tallow, and apply while hot to the
boots, letting it dry in thoroughly.
The following receipts for making leather
waterproof are from the Hide and Leather
Journal and other authoritative sources:
l. Boiled oil, pint beeswax and yellow
resin, each OF. : melt together. Apply
warm before the fire.

The DALRYSpLE FARMS. Tho Chicago
Times correspondent has just been through
the wheat fields of the Dalrymyle farms in
Dakota. They aggregate an area of 0,00O
acres of solid wheat, and are estimated to
yield an average of twenty bushels to the
acre. A procession of thirty-fye reapers and
binders is tirelessly passing around the
outskirts of the last field visited. A small
army of harvesters is setting the wheat in
shocks Another detachment of laborers is
running steam threshing- machine, and the
engine is run entirely by straw fuel, the straw
being fed into the fire by an automatic stoker
The whole yield of wheat will he between
200, 900 and 300, 900 bushels. Already large
force of men and teams are delivering wheat
from the fields into the cars of the Northern
Pacific Railroad, and when under full head
way, young Dalrymple says rs to threshing,
that all these farms will send away twenty
five loaded cars each day until the entire yield
is disposed of by shipment to the Chicago
market.

Mr.. Clark w. Mills of Pompton, n. j., is
trying on quite an extensive scale, the new
French plan of the ensilage of green fodder
which has of late come into general notice
He has built three large silos, or air-tight
concrete vaults, each about 60 feet long, 10
feet wide, and Is feet deep, which are filed
with green fodder corn, chopped up and
poured into the silos before the corn has had
time TO ferment; it is then subjected to great
pressure, the silOs are closed up, and the fod-
der is cut out only MS needed. The theory is
that by this process the fodder is kept green
and succulent all through the winter, to the
great delight and benefit of tho cattle, whose
yield of milk will be as large as in summer
when actually pasturing on green fodder
The experiment is being watched with deep
interest by the farmers of Passaic and Nor
ris counties in the vicinity. 1t is said to have
succeeded admirably in France, and few
who have tried it in this country have met
with encouraging results, but it is quite a
novel idea in northern New Jersey. The
corn has to be packed away with the greatest
rapidity as soon as it is cut, or it will fer
ment and become cured like hay which is
precisely what is not wanted. Mr.. Mills is a
grain broker in this city.-Ne1 York Times.

When potatoes are first put into the cellar
they exhale an unpleasant odor. To absorb
this and also to exclude the light and mir,
they may be covered with little dry sand I,
and, if there is any tendency to rot, this can
be counteracted by sprinkling of air-slacEed
lime.
The use of powerful magnets in flour mills
to remove from the grain the pieces of iron
broken from the wire bands used in binding
the wheat, accomplishes the work most com
pletely, and removes the last and only obiec-
ton against the use of wire-binding harvest
ing machines. The introduction and use of
these magnets is one of the latost improve
ments in milling machinery, the value of
which cannot be overestimated.
