A Texas correspondent gives the
following novel plan of keeping pota-
toes Go to the woods and cut hol-
low tree about six inches in diameter
and five feet long. Cut holes in the
side of this and place one end in the
ground, lay straw all around the
"pipe," and on this lay pOtat oes, and
pile them up in pyramidical form to
the top of the "pipe." Then get straw
and lay over them, also corn-staks,
pretty heavily, and throw on dirt
until the pile is covered goOd-at
least six inches. Do not cover the
top of the "pipe" for two or three
weeks, so that the steam arising from
the potatoes can escape. At the first
intimation of cold weather cover the
"pipe," but always open it in good
we call 1t, simply make a hole in the
south side to put your hand in, but
keep it covered also when not Ill use.
By this method small family can
with very little trouble keep all their
potatoes through the winter.
TO keep celery through the winter
the American CultivatOr advises
"About the last of October dig a
trench eigteen inches deep and twelve
inches wide in some dry place where
drainage is perfect, 50 that no water
can stand in it. Lift the celery with
considerable soil round the roots, stand
the branches upright as they grew in
the trench; pack them as close us pos
sible; draw the earth close against
them, then lay on them boards, and
on top Of these coarse straw or leaves

BALTIMORE COUNTY, February 18th, 1880.
If the farmers have not got time to think they
ought to look at things. How does it look to let
the men you furnish their daily bread and butter
take your money and run agricultural colleges,
where they turn out young men with their noses
so high that they don't feel comfortable only in
ball room or parade ground, and the professors
that teach them that could not drive hog across
a three-acre lot in twenty -four hours or handle
pair of oxen in five years? But they profess to
teach them how to take an OK and hog and analyze
them and take calf and pig and plant them to a
post and feed them on steamed provender and
make scientific beef and pork. 1 believe it is adj
mitted that Nature knows what she is about, and
whoever follows her instructions comes out right,
and where she feeding her animals by
steam she says, go it my man, you will soon get
too big for your breeches.
In our neighborhood about the largest crop we
raise is children, and although figures show only
one boy in 100000 are Presidents, every fond
parent thinks his boy is the chap, and he spends
his bottom dollar to put him through college, and
you will find the one that does reach that point
gets his brains natural and in these times it don't
take much would suppose
1t is about time farmers were beginning to man
age their affairs and not let every bobtai
lawyer assess their homes to pay an army of pro-
fessors to teach their boys to get above their call
ings and try to tickle them with the idea that
they are doing so much for agriculture.

EIGHTH DISTRICT, Feb. 18th, 1880.
Messrs. Editors The Democratic politicians
that have come under my observation seem to
have double job on hand this year. They ap-
pear to be smart enough to run both parties, and
they seem determined to be represented in both
the Republican and Democratic National conven-
tions. If you accost them single or in groups
about shop our railroad stations, or at any
other public place, you can ascertain from them,
often without effort that they engaged to send
to the Republicans convention the man who served
them such valuable turn last fall by securing
the election of their county ticket. Every one
knows how much they are indebted to HIN, for this
and they give evidence that they intend to pay
the debt by sending him to the convention. Graft
tude on the part of the Democrats for the great
benefit he rendered them in putting their ticket
through and defeating ours, is in itself common
dable virtue, but are the Republicans not able to
take care of their own affairs without the asss-
lance of the Democrats? And is not this particu-
larry the case when they are pushing the man
no one can fail to know who is smeant-that the
Republicans do not want. Has it come to this
that it is contest between the Democrats and
Republicans which shall be represented in the Re-
publican convention ? 1t does seem So
The Republicans want the best representatives
they can get to go. They want gentlemen who
are not continually huckstering for office and po
sition. They want gentlemen of intelligence, in
tegrty and judgment, that will assist them in put
ting the party on the best possible basis in the
nation as well as in the State. They think, as
stated in your paper week ortwo ago. that gentle
men like Mr.. Gary and Mr. Harris are the proper
mon to select for our representatives at Chicago.
The solid Republicans ofthis section are favorable
to them and men like them, and l hope you and
the Republicans of the county generally, will use
all honorable means to have the party represented
by men of such solid worth. G..

Messrs. Editors If you will permit one who
feels deep interest in the Republican party to
say word that may be of some service to it, you
will confer favor upon the writer and upon those
who would like to see the party gotten out of its
old ruts.
There is strong desire among the Republicans
with whom the writer has conversed to send the
Hon. j. Morrison Harris to represent in the
National convention in June next. Every one
who knows the gentleman has confidence in his
integrity and ability, commanding the respect of
all classes of the people. He is allied with no fac
ton clique, and will better represent the party
than any other person who can be selected for this
honor.
