The October Elections.

The Republicans carried Ohio and
iowa at the election last Tuesday,
but this result WAS of course ex.
pected. Those States are ALWAYS
Republican when anything like the
full vote 10 cast. 1t was expected
that the sympathy aroused for Gar
field in Ohio would strengthen the
Republican ticket there. Unofficial
returns show net gain of 5,057,
This added to Townsend's plurality
last year gives Foster q, 1852 plurality.
The canvass was. made very quietly
by both sides. The Democrats had
out weak candidate and taking all
things into consideration the result is
about what well informed persons
expected. Iowa will give about 5O,-
0OO Republican majority, a consider
able falling off from the usual vote.
Iowa is tho banner Republican State
and generally gives about $4,000
majority. The Iowa legislature
stands: Republicans, 1l6; Demo.
Gratis, 81. The Ohio legislature is
close but the, Republicans have a
working majority in both houses.

STORING POTATOES.

Formerly large quantity of potatoes
were stored out OF doors in the open
ground. They were arranged in long
ridges, not in great bulk, as even mass
OF potatoes will heat, and covered with
earth sufficiently thick to keep out the
frost. But since the appearance of the
p0tatOe disease, this plan is not much
followed, though the rOtting of late has
been very much diminished. The in
fected tubers will often rot, especially if
the mass heats little, and tho diseased
ones Will often communicate the disease
to the rest. In cellar this can be seen
and noted, but in mound out of doors
no one knows of the trouble till spring.
when s reat loss is found. Besides this.
it is so difficult to get at them i'm winter
that those who have no way to preserve
potatoes, except this, as a general thing
prefer not to grow them at all rather
than to be bothered thus.
Dampness undoubtedly favOrs the
spread of the pOtatoe 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 possible.
Those which are to be kept in this gen.
eral way should be dry and cool, but this
should be especially seen to in the case
of seed potatoes. Since the pOtatOe bee
tie made its appearance the very best
results have been obtained from early
planting, and by the use of the earliest
varieties. Now these early kinds are
more easily affected by warmth than
the late ones. They sprout easily and
GOODNESS is therefore the more essential
for them. Some people think it makes
little difference whether seed potatoes
sprout or not before planting. They
tear off the sprouts, several inches long
and cut up the tubers i'm full faith thai
they will sprout out again and be none
the worse for it. They do generally
grow; but there is little doubt they are
constitutionally weak, and much more
liable to disease than those which dc
not sprout till ready to go into The
