What viii Not Science Yet Do.


With reference to the accomplish
ments and the glory of science, Edward
Atkinson says that if we can send
thought and light over wire fastened
to posts; and if we can attach to the
same post another wire by which to
transmit electric power, SO that every
farmer may keep small thunder
storm on tap in his barn to cut his fod-
der, milk his cows, churn his butter,
split his kindling wood, and do all the
heavy work about the house; in short,
If we are to accomplish here what is
now being done in France, that is, OPP
crate an electrical machine by a small
water-power on the farm, and run the
plows, harrows, harvesters and thresh-
ers by electricity; if these things begin
to be apparent that are 80 bewildering
that one gets considerably mixed up in
attempting to describe them, and is not
quite sure what relation his parts of
speech bear to each other, why then,
perhaps, the millennium of the econo-
mist is nearer at hand than it has been
supposed to be-"the time when intel
ligence and integrity and very mod
crate amount Of labor will insure 80
good subsistence that it will not pay
to be rich. Let the farmer Of middle
age look back twenty, thirty or forty
years, and make a comparison of them
with now, and he cannot fail to be as
tonlshed at the advances science has
made, and it is but reasonable to sup
pose that the same space Of time in
the future will make greater advances.

The natives showeda friendly disposition
as early as possible. Next, Lieut.. Ray
will begin an exploration of the valley
of the Copper Mine river. He expects
to make circuit from the Copper
Mine south and west, coming out at
Catsbue sound, where vessel will be
awaiting him. Capt. Jacobson ex-
presses entire unbelief in the story of
the wreck and white men having been
seen by the natives. Eastward
near the Mackenzie river he heard
nothing of the kind while at Point Bar
rows, and is positive that if any such in
formation existed among the natives of
the northern coast, it would have come
to his kno Wedge. He confirms pre-
vious reports of an open but very
stormy season in the Arctic.

it hardly seems possible that they can
sell for less than $3.50 per bushel. At
any rate they will be high, and it be-
hooves every grower to take the best of
care in storing and keeping them. An
other point, and an important one to
the man who sells, is to see that pota-
toes are properly sorted. Take bush
ell of large potatoes and put them with
peck of small ones, mix them we'll
and measure again and see if the lot
measure any more. 1t is easy to throw
away rs per cent. in this way. Sort
the tubers and sell those of uniform
size. Really they should be sold by
weight, then sorting is of no conse-
quence, but when will growers and
market men come to their senses in
this matter?

Students and Melons.

DETROIT, Nov. 5.-Some time ago a
melon patch near Agricultural College,
at Lansing, was raided by some of the
students, but the matter was settled by
one of the raiders paying for the
amount of damage done. The next
night one hundred students compelled
the refunding of the amount paid for
the melons. The faculty have ordered
the students to return the money, but
they refused. Wednesday evening the
students engaged in the raid were sus-
pended; a students meeting was then
held and it was voted by So to 35 to re-
bel, and leave in body to-day. The
outcome remains to be seen.

and VIM. Brown (colored), deck hand,
corroborated the previous testimony
that the mate had repeatedly shouted
to all on board the Gilchrist to get on
board the barge, and Brown said the
barge was alongside the cabin SO that
it was easier for passengers to save
themselves than the crew. Mrs. Wendt,
one Of the passengers, denies that the
mate warned the passengers when he
entered the cabin, and said he took
their only lantern away and left them
in darkness. Brown said the crew were
given but one drink Of whisky from a
small flask.

Storing and Keeping Potatoes

The Farm and Gardner offers the fol-
lowing remarks in regard to storing
and keeping potatoes over winter:
Of late years the potato has been one
of the most profitable of farm crops in
the east, and this chiefly arises from
the fact that it is somewhat difficult to
keep any very great quantity Of them.
Thus only so many Of them are grown
as can be preserved, and as the accom-
modations are limited there is no glut
in the market as there are with things
that are grown and must be sent to
market at once. OF course there are
times when potatoes rule low. This is
apt to be the case with early ones,
grown especially for early purposes,
and which follow the same law that
rules in transient vegetables, so also
those who grow potatoes and have no
conveniences for storing them. These
have no market in the fall, and must
take whatever price may rule for them.
Those who have good cellars under
their barns, or in any place safe from
frost and yet cool and dry, can general
ly make potato growing pay very well.
And these are usually the ones who do.
The infected tubers will often rot, es-
pecially if the mass heats little, and
the diseased ones will often commune
cate the disease to the rest. In cellar
this can be seen and noted, but in q
mound out Of doors no one knows of
the trouble until spring, when the great
loss is found. Besides this, tits SO diff
cult to get at them in winter that those
who have no way to preserve potatoes
except this, as a general thing prefer
/ not to grow at all rather than to be
bothered with this.
Dampness undoubtedly favors the
spread Of the potato disease, and there
fore where there is any chance at all
of the disease existing in the roots
they ought to be stored as dry as posi-.
BILE. Those which are to be kept in
this general way should be dry and
cool; but this should be especially seer
in the case Of seed potatoes. Since the
potato beetle came among us, it i
clear that we have had the very best re
sults from early planting, and by the
use Of the earliest.varieties. Now these
early kinds are more easily affected By
the warmth than the late ones. They
sprout easily, and GOODNESS is therefor,
! the more essential for them. Som,

The temper of congress seems to be
to take up about One-third of the
$500, 900, 900 of public debt, falling
due between now and next June, with
3 per cent bonds, having a long period
to run. The impression prevails in
the committee having the matter in
charge that a 3 per cent bond a be
foated, and that 5000, 100000 will be
issued to test the experiment. The
committee also express the opinion
that the public debt of the nation
should be paid off by slow degrees SO
that future generations may bear a
share in the discharge of the financial
burden. A minority Of the congress
sional committee think a 3 per cent
too low. They would be glad to Sc
cure as low a rate as possible, but if a
3 per cent be forced on the market
and it goes below par the effect on the
government credit may be bad.
There is but little activity in the
