The facts In regard to the recent sale
Of the stock of Charles scribncr'z Sons,

The corporation was organized in 1870
by DR.. Holland. Roswell Smith, Charles
ScIibner, senior (who died during the
following year., and the partners of the
latter. hr Roswell Smith has been the
Publisher and business manager Of
Seribaer's and Of 81. Nich6lqs from the
beginning, and has now purchased from
Messrs. Charles Scribners Sons the mi
nority interest which they and their
predecessors have held in the company.
Considerable portions Of this purchase
have been already placed in the hands
OF the younger men who have helped To
make the fortunes Of the magazines, and

Now there is a debatable question
involved In the last method of plant
ing potatoes, and perhaps the major
ity OF cultivators will object TO 1t,
and that is the use Of the small Gull
ing tubers. That this man does grow
as fine crops as any of his neighbors,
and in fact little better as general
rule, surely indicates that there can
not be much use in selecting the finest
tubers for planting any longer. Let
us examine into the scientific aspect
of the system. Potatoes are really
underground stems mot roots), with
perfect buds called eyes, aud organs
analogous TO leaves in the form Of
small scales. They are in fact similar
TO the underground stems of the
blackberry and raspberry. Now as
We do not select the largest of these
for propagation, why should we do
so in potatoes ? AS large plants are
grown from the small black berry
sucker bud as from the very large
one, and so it is with the potato eye.
W hen we speak OF seed potatoes, we
must not overlook the fact that these
are not seeds, nor are they in any
way related thereto, or governed by
the same rules. The great trouble
with many growers has been the want
Of knowledge in this respect, hence
their improper reasoning and prac.
tices. After all, if one expects
good crop Of potatoes, the ground
must be first well pulverizcd, then
thoroughly enriched, frequently cul
tiyatcd, and not a weed allowed 10
remain in the "patch." If all these
are properly attended to, then and
then only shall we be rewarded with
fine potatoes and plenty Of them,
provided the elements are in our
favor.

4 Poor Beginning.

From Tie American Agr.rgl'uf.s'.
If farmer wants good horses Of
his own raising, he must begin at the
beginning, aud not start-as too
many do-with an old. wind-hroken
mare that is blind in one eye and
lame in two legs. simply because she
can be bought for q little money.
For breeding purposes, in nine cases
out Of ten such an animal is dear at
any price. A good thoroughbred
stallion would get from such 4 mare
n colt far better than the dam, but
her weakness and constitutional traits
will sooner or later become apparent
in the offspring. Like begets like"
is a well established law. and a supe-
rior animal cannot come from one
decidedly inferior. Only from sound
and vigorous mares can we hope for
race of healthy horses. Let all
raisers Of horses start in the right
direction by breeding from the best
on both sides.

first week in June again plough the
ground, this time shallow, and in
every third row drop the potatoes,
using for seed selected tubers, cut
into rather small pieces. But this

who, by the way, cultivates several
acres annually. lie reports about as
follows: Select n good mellow soil,
and plough it very early and deep.
About the 10th Of June, again plough
and harrow well, and strike out the
rows for potatoes quite shallow. Sow
these rows with supcrphosphate, at
the rate Of about $50 pounds TO the
acre. Small potatoes only are used for
planting, under the impression that
the result will be fully equal to that
from large sets. The Early Rose Is
the only variety grown, and In point
OF excellence as well as productive
ness on this farm Is certainly all that
can be asked. The sets are dropped
about Is inches apart and covered
slightly with plow. So soon rs the
sprouts show above the surface of

these specks by being kept too long

great warmth in keeping the cream
and having to reduce the temperature
before churning. Cream should be
stirred as often as three times 4 dav

The corn plant likes warmth, and
grows fastest when the soil is warm
est, If other conditions are favorable.
The feeding roots incline for this
reason TO keep in the upper four or
five inch layer OF soil. Deep plough.
ing and deep burying of manure or
fertilizers are therefore not conducive
TO the growth Of the corn plant. Deep
stirring Of the soil, with ploughs that
do not invert the soil, are not obiec-
tIonable and may be beneficial.

political organizations are the result

give strength and vitality to politi-
cal views. The opinion of many is of
more consequence than the opinion of a
single individual. Hence party rela-
tlons. If founded In honesty and the

car not be deserted without a breach Of
faith The defeat of an opponent does
not atone for an abandonment of prin.
