How to Tell Good Potatoes

The San Francisco Call has secret
about potatoes which it imparts to its
readers, as follows: Take sound po-
tato, and, paying no attention to the
outward appearance, divide it into two
pieces with your knife and examine the
exposed surfaces. If there is so much
water or '.juice" that seemingly slight
pressure would cause to fall off in
drops, you may be sure it will be "sog-
gy" after it is boiled. These are the
requisite qualities for a good potato,
which must appear when cut in two
For color yellowish white; if it is a
deep yellow the potato will not cook
well; there must be a considerable
amount of moisture. though not too
much; rub the two pieces together and
white froth will appear around the
two edges and upon the two surfaces;
this signifies the presence of starch, and
the more starch, and consequently
froth, the better the potato, while the
less there is the poorer it will cook.
The strength Of the starchy element
can be tested by releasing the hold
upon ne piece of potato, and if it still
clings to the other, this in itself is a
very good sign. These are the expert
ments generally made by experts.

A Land AGENTS Story.


A pretty good story is told about
Land Agent Miner, of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad, who one
day had party of eastern farmers in
tow, trying to sell each of them farm
in the rich Arkansas Valley. Miner
had taken them into his light wagon,
and behind his spanking team of bays
had given them a fine ride, lasting all
day. He had done his best to make
them enthusiastic by rehearsing the
stories, which he had at his tongues
end, of the marvellous crops of the val
lev, but to all intents it was "love's
labor lost" for they would not 'tbuse.
This annoyed Miner, but he had his
revenge in bis reply to one Of the par
ty, who, with sardonic smile asked:
swell, Mr.. Agent, is there anything
that won't grow here?"
EYES," replied Miner, pumpkins
won't"
"What /" exclaimed the cynical
land buyers together, pumpkins
won't?"
"No,n said Miner, There is men in
this county who would give $3.50 an acre
for land that would mature crop OF
pumpkins. They never have been able
TO get crop since I've been here, and
that's ten years"
swell, how strange Why is it? "
asked land buyer No. /.
This was Miners chance, and with a
serious expression, he replied: swell,
sir, the soil is so rich and the vines
grow so fast that they wear the pump
kins out dragging them over the
ground. "-F. S. Presbey in Kansas
Sketches.

seems to be assigned to West Virginia,
and for which this plan does aot pro-
vide, This however is a matter for the
two states to settle between themselves.
It is unreasonable to suppose that West
Virginia should be released from its
proportional responsibility for the pay
ment of the debt that existed prior TO
the partition of the State 1t was an
anti-w debit and the entire territory
was charged with its liquidation.
Governor Cameron if we understand
him Alright, Favors a computation ofthe
debt and interest to be assumed from
the time of the partition to date of set
Element, and new contract to be made
with the creditors on that basis. This
is the only thing that sayors Of repu-
iiation in Virginia. OF course If Vir-
ginia refuses to assume to pay that part
which she claims belongs to West Vir-
ginia, and the latter state refuses to ac-
cept it, that part of the debt will be
virtually repudiated for the time being,
The first step should be made by an
amicable agreement between both Nir-
ginia's, by which each shall ba made to
assume its just proportion of the debt,
and uutil such an agreement shall be
had about one-third of the total debt
will be unprovided Tor and the rights OF
creditors will remain in allegiance.
There is reason TO believe that West
Virginia intends TO repudiateits alleged
proportion of the debt, because in
framing its new constitution it struck
ont clause which acknowledged a pro-
portionate responsibility for the debt
existing at the date of partition. Thus
is the bubble of Reputation in Nir'
ginia bursting into thin airand the only
party hurt is the one that alway prom.
isea 20 pay an avs nothing.

OUR RESPECTED contemporary, the

shows that 80 buildings were erected
during the year, This is one short of
half the number erected in Whining

disparity be.wesa the statistics of the

"Wilmington is evidently not gong
to be left behind on account ot not nav"
ing a sufficient number OF houses 10 ac-
