Early Rose Potatoes.

We do not know that we shall in our day
see as good potatoe as the Early Rose was
in its palmy days. 1t has been the subject OF
more universal praise than any other potato
ever offered to growers. II was first raised
from the seed of the 'Garnet Chilli" by
Albert Bresee, of Hortenville, Vermont. As
to the prices paid for the earliest specimens
of this potato we have no authentic record.
but We do know that in the spring of 1868 ID.
S. Heffron, of Utica, N. Y, sold to the
Messrs. Conover of New Jersey, l53 ll-l3
bushels Of Early Rose potatoes for the round
sum of $4,000 or at the rate of $65 per
bushel. The later firm sold to another
grower at the same time 1875 bushels Of
$50 per bushel. or 1920 per barrel of 81
bushels. In smaller quantities the Early
Rose was sold at prices yet higher than these
MIR. Bresee received in 1868 for single tubers
of the variety known as "Bresees King Of
the Earies" $50 each. The sudden increase
of the product of single tubers is thus accom-
plished BY employing propagating house,
cutting the shoots from single potato, TAX
ing of cuttings as soon as the plants are six
inches high, which latter are potted and
plunged into border with bottom heat, and
in turn yielding other cuttings. increasing in
geometric ratio. There have been secured
in single season many thousands of plants
from single tuber.

The Longest Bridge in the World.

The longest bridge now in actual use is
the one that crosses the st. Lawrence River
at Montreal tubular structure resting on
massive stone piers. One opening measures
$50 feet, and "a others 240 feet each. Its
total length is 9,437 feet, of which the tubular
part measures 1000 feet The grandest
suspension bridge in the world is the one
now nearly completed across the East River,
between New York and Brooklyn, at the
enormous cost Of e13, ,70S ,02G, which will
reach about SIS, 900, 900 before it is finished
and equipped. 1t is 5,0e9 feet in length
Another enormous suspension bridge, which
will eventually measure more than the one
just named, is the new bridge across the
Forth, at Queensbury, Scotland. to be COM
pleted in 1855. The Forth is rather more
than mile wide at this point, and the
necessary approaches will make the entire
structure abont one and one third miles long.
A large part of il will rest on piers, but il
will contain two suspension spans, one Of
which will be the same length as the main
span of the New York and Brooklyn bridge.
There is a bridge over the Ohio at Louisville,
5,3i0 feet in length. There is the Parkers-
burg bridge, West Virginia, 7.045 feet; the
ST. Charles bridge, over the Missouri, 6, $50

Cooking Food for Stock.

The plan of giving rations cooked, to stock.
is very widespread among German farmers,
who estimate that it enhances the value OF
the food one-fifth. Lucerne and boiled
potatoes tatten sheep with marked rapidity,
as compared with the use of the tubers in
their raw state. The practice is extending
IN France. Another plan resorted to with
profit, consists in the fermentation of the
food. Straw or hay when chopped, is mixed
with sliced roots, in layers; then watered,
plain or salted; or, better still, with water in
which cake has been dissolved, or some
grains thrown in. The mass is placed in
tuns tor three days, carefully excluding air,
to ferment. The CATTLE relish it with avidi.
