From the following it appears that
the question between Russia and
China in regard to Kuldja cannot yet
be regarded as finally settled.
"The Chinese Government, it
seems, hesitates to rectify the treaty
concluded by its Plenipotentiary in
St. Petersburg in relation to Kuldja,
on the plea that its representative over

The Convention between the British
Government and the Sultan of Tur-
key for ~suppressing the slave trade
provides that English cruisers shall
have the right to search, and, if neces-
sary, to detain any Ottoman vessel
suspected Of carrying African slaves.
The vessel is to be handed over to the
nearest Ottoman authority, by whom
the case shall be tried. The captured
slaves are to be handed over to the
same authority for the purpose Of
being proclaimed free. Should slaves
be employed on any ship as part Of
the crew, a certificate must be pro-
duced showing the number of slaves
SO employed. The Sultan engages
to punish the culprits, and to care for
the liberated Africans.

The Imperial German Parliament
was opened on the 18th February.
The Emperor was not personally
present, the speech being read by
Count Stolberg, It explained that
although the Government felt bound
to increase the strength of the army
on account Of the growing strength Of
the neighbouring nations, yet 1.-THE
Imperial policy was to maintain peace,
on the basis of the Berlin Treaty.
In the German press, the intention
of the Swiss Government to erect
some forts on the French frontier had
excited favourable comments. The
French press on the other hand shows
some irritation over the matter, an,
denies that France has any intention
to invade Germany through Switzer-
land.

Raising Potatoes Under Straw.

AA0lOluH Il Ot8tVCD UQOcT SVT8Ws
Occasionally some farmer has great sue
cess in producing potatoes by dropping the
seed on green sward and covering it with
refuse straw, old hay, or other sorts of lit
ter. When this is the case he generally
informs the public of his method of cult
waiting potatoes and for time it becomes
fashionable. Farmers who are not sue
cessful in this method of raising potatoes
do not say anything about it, and as con-
sequence the public are in ignorance in
relation to the ratio that exists between
failures and successes. 1t is obvious that
raising potatoes under straw or other lit
ter can never become general for the rea-
narily be obtained for covering the seed.
Still most farmers can raise small patch
in this way to excellent advantage.
The best results are obtained by cutting
the potatoes in pieces of suitable size,
dropping them on a sod after the grass is
few inches high and covering them to the
thickness of six inches with refuse hay,
straw or other rubbish. The addition of
well rOtted manure, ashes and fine soil is
an advantage. The rain will carry them
down to the roots Of the potatoes. 1t is
not necessary to drop the potatoes in rows.
The pieces may be placed within a foot of
each other, as no cultivation is required.
A little earth thrown over the straw cover
ing will keep it in place and preserve the
moisture in it. Almost all the labor re-
quired to raise potatoes in this way con-
sists in handling the material employed in
covering the seed. The turf soon decays
and affords sustenance for the growing pO
tatOes. The potatoes are very easily har-
vested in the fall and come out of the straw
almost as clean as if they had been washed.
Another object may be accomplished by
planting potatoes on top of the ground. A
harsh, tough sod may be subdued and
brought into a condition to produce good
crops another year. A valuable modification
of the plan of covering seed potatoes with
straw consists in opening furrow with
plow, throwing in old hay, straw, forest
leaves, or sawdust, then dropping the
potatoes, and finally covering them with
earth. The materials thrown in the fur
row are favorable to the formation and
growth of the bulbs. When mature they
are quite clean, and may be dug without
bruises or cuts. A mulch is of great ad-
vantage in raising potatoes. 1t helps re-
tain moisture and prevents the young
and growing tubers from becoming too
warm during the hot weather in July and
August. A moderate cool temperature
and moisture are essential to the prOduc-
ton of good potatoes.

Death of Ganum Mcnee.

Ganum McBee, Esq., died Sunday,
2lst inst. at his residence near Straw
berry Plains, sitter an illness of near
two months, al the advanced age Of
81 years, s month and two days. Mr..
McBee was one Of the oldest and mos t
respected citizens of t1is part of the
country. He lived the whole of bis
life on the place where he died. There
be accu nu!st4d al ample competence
of this worlds guods, and was for many
years a member of the mercantile firm
of g. G. & r. L. McBee, of the Plains
But, be tt # than all this, he earned a
reputs on for Honesty, fair dealing
and uprig btness, which has followed
him to the grave, and will be refieC tad
along the line of his genealogy for
ages to come. He certainly ran his
race well. His death was the result of
a general wearing out an d break down
of the machinery of nature, and it
can be trsthfuliy said good man is
gone. He will be missed very much
in the community in which he spent q
life almost a century in length. The
remains were il t9rred yesterday even,
ing in the family burying ground.
