AGRICULTURAL.



To store potatoes properly we have
to guard against heating, for although
the potato will not absolutely ferment
by heat as SO much vegetable matter
will. heap becomes warm enough to
excite any germ-fungus there may be in
the tuber, and this exhalation may be
sufficient to cause decay, which can be
communicated to roots in which no
symptom of rot exists. Moisture is
favorable to heating, and hence it is
best to have the potato thoroughly
dry before storing, if any considerable
quantity is to be put away in bulk.
Thus. If they are spread on barn floor
or other cool place out of the sun, be-
fore putting into the root cellar, they
viii be proof against rotting When
potatoes 'sre perfectly healthy, there is
not so much necessity for this care in
drying. Hundreds of bushels are often
taken at once from the field to the cell
lar without any damage whatever
resulting, and it is only in view of the
possibility of rot that We think it ad-
Tisable to take the extra precaution in
drying. 1t is we'll to note that a cool
shed is best to dry them in, as tie
tubers will otherwise absorb more heat
than when they come out of the ground,
and this is what We try to avoid.
There is one disadvantage in drying
potatoes in this way, which is Away
more or less connected with dry cellars,
namely, the great loss from shrinkage
which results. In an average dry
cellar there is often as much as a loss
of 20 per cent. in bulk from shrinkage.
Thus, 100 bushels stored away in q
place like this In winter will give but
so when taken ont for sale in the
spring. This Is often as much and
sometimes more than the advance in
spring over fall prices, and is an argu-
ment often used to induce growers to
sell their crops as soon as taken up,
instead of keeping them for the spring
rise. But this loss can be wholly
avoided, and the roots kept in excellent
condition by carefully storing in the
open ground. A dry place is to be
selected, where the water can run
easily away. ard the potatoes laid up
in long narrow ridges, say about four
feet wide, and as long as the quantity
to be protected demands. After the
whole has been collected together, a
thin layer of straw, only thick enough
to keep the earth from falling in among
the potatoes. is to be put along the
sides and over the tubers, and q thin
layer of soil, Just enough to keep the
straw in place, is thrown over. 1t is
best not to throw more earth than this
over at first. as the natural heat of the
potatoes will aecumulSte, while it is
the object to let 1t pass rapidly away.
As soon IS there is danger of frost.
then the potatoes should be covered
thickly with soil. as the frost is certain
to penetrate. In this way the potatoes
are preserved at q temperature but
little above the freezing point, and
thus guarded sgainst heating much,
and at the same time there is little loss
from evaporatiOn-s great point gained
when the bushel measure is brought
out in the spring.

The rapidity with which the electric
plan of lighting is supplanting gas and
Oil Is a matter of profound wonderment to
the conservative old fogies, who oppose
everything new on principle. But the
solution of the problem is very simple.
1t resolves itself into a question of dollars
and cents, to say nothing of the immeasur-
able superiority of the electric light as an
illumination. Among the first to make
practical use Of the electric light in Amer
lea were the great New England factories.
They run night as well as day, and the
expenditure for gaslight was something
enormous. When the change to the
electric light was made, where they had
paid So per hour for gaslight, the electric
light only cost 81 per hour, and the differ
ehce IN illumination was almost equal to
that of sunlight over moonlight, the air of
the factories remained cool, and all danger
from fire was banished. These small ad-
yantages will apply with equal force to all
buildings, halls, stores and residences.
And where coal oil is exclusively en-
ployed, as here in Eureka, the advantage
would be still greater. 1t would give
US better light and more Of it:
1t would be cheaper, undoubtedly, and it
would lessen the danger from fires, which
we all know is the greatest dread. 1t
might also have a tendency to reduce the
insurance rates, which is one of the heav-
lest burdens our people have to carry, out-
side OF the regular State and county tax.

can be sufficiently lighted bv a diffnsed

Question of the Hour.
The Committee of Arrangements for the
approaching Knights Templar Conclave
will, within u few days, says the San
Francisco Daily Report, open its business
Office in Parlor A of the Palace Hotel, and
commence work on the most pressing
details. Through the generosity of the
companies, the question OF railroad fare is
settled on an excellent basis, and that of
transportation is in the hands of the diff
ferent managers. The most difficult prob
lem to be solved by the local Sir Knights
is that of accommodation, but this they
are hopeful of being able to cope with
satisfactorily. 1t is estimated that from
10000 to so, 200 persons will attend the
Conclave, all of whom must be housed
and fed. The Palace Hotel, by construct
ing cots and putting them into every nook
and corner, promises to accommodate
some $500 extra guests, and the Baldwin,
by a temporary renting of the rooms in
st. AIMS building, can provide for LOCO
persons, beyond the ordinary capacity of
the hotel. The Grand, Occidental and
Lick hotels guarantee to house about
1000, and the latter to feed about 5000
three times daily. The smaller hotels will
take about 5000 more, and a large number
will be housed in private residences. New
ertheless, the problem of finding roofing
for all will be very difficult and a town of
tents will undoubtedly be located some
where. The general management of the
Conclave has been placed in the hands of
Marcus D. Boruck, who has an intimate
knowledge of the city's facilities, I'M
bounded energy and great sauoir fare.
He is already hard at work. A better

Mr.. Beecher gave the following testi-
mony before the Senate Investigation Com
mittee OF Corners and Futures:
Chairman Boyd informed him that, in
view of his being a minister of the Gospel,
the formality of administering an oath
would be dispensed with in his case. Mr..
Boyd then asked the witness what he
thought of corners and futures.

corners are and who makes them. Idon't
see any difference, morally speaking, be-
tween the corners made every day on the
street and those made every five years by
large combinations. A man who ~foresees

unable to do so. And do not think he is

The witness went on to explain what he
meant by futures. He made a distinction
between the man who speculated in risks
and chances. He thought that corners
and futures only Inconvenience tempo
rarily. They never led to great mischief,
because the attitudes and longitudes in
this country were too great. Viewed as a
question of justice, and from a gospel
point Of view, Mr.. Beecher considered
such practices to be highly reprehensible;
but, then. after all, "no man loved his
%neighbor better than himself" and men
should be taken as they were. In reply to
further questions Mr.. Beecher stated that
it was utterly impossible to check bust
ness transactions, even if they took the
form of gambling, by means of legisla-
ton. 'You might as well say that a man
shall not be cross to his wife and chill
dren," he exclaimed.
"What would you say of such a man ?"
asked Senator Boyd, smiling.

right meeting" was the ready answer,
which was followed by an outburst of

A MURDER.
Jacob Kenck Shot and Killed by
His Eather-in- Law.

The Helena (Montana) Independent of
the 23d has the following: At about noon
yesterday this community was startled by
the statement that Jacob Kench had been
shot by his father-in-law, Henry Forman,
and was dying. The shooting took place
at the front door of Horsky & Kenck's sa-
loon, on upper Main street. Mr.. Kenck
had been standing at his front door talk
ing across the street with Mr.. ~Rohrbaugh
Of the Wickes stage line, and having fin
ished the conversation still stood looking
out into the street. While he so stood,
Forman, who was inside the saloon,
stepped up behind him, and placing a pis-
tol at his head, fred. Kenck fell, and was
Immediately surrounded by a crowd of
excited men, who carried him back into
the saloon. The wounded man was for a
short time unconscious, and On regaining
his senses said: Boys, what is the mat
ter? Is anybody hurt?" He did not
realize that he himself was hurt, but was
surprised to find that he had fallen. Jacob
Kenck, the victim Of this Fad tragedy,
fingered for several hours, and died last
evening. The news of his death will be
heard with keep regret by the residents of
all portions of the Territory. He was
one of our best and most highly respected
citizens and was liked wherever known.

OUR MINING INTERESTS.
The Largest Mining ROnd Ever
Given in Arizona.

Given in Arizona.
A day or two since, says the Arizona
Democrat, there was placed on record
in our Recorders Office a bond for II
mines in Copper Basin and three
others adjacent, in which George A..
Treadwell, On behalf Of a company of Eng
lish capitalists, agree to pay within six
months from the present month the sum
OF So. 500, coo. This is the largest sum for
which a mine was ever bonded in this Ter
ritory. The owner of these mining claims
is Colonel @. @, Bean of Prescott. and no
better man in the Territory could we find
that would do as much-good with so much
money. Mr.. Treadwell said after he had
possession Of the bond, "Now, Colonel,
l will tell you that there is now in sight on
this ground enough to produce 81, 900 900
per year for 20 years" Mr.. Treadwell has
gone to England to consult with his prin-
cipals, who will at once dispatch an en-
gineer TO this property to make a thorough
examination and report. The reason the
time in the bond was fixed at six months
was because OF the distance between here
and London. Copper Basin is situated
only 10 miles southwest OF Prescott, and
the opening of these rich mines, the cree
ton of furnaces, the employment of hun
dreds Of workmen, will give an impetus
to mining in this vicinity the Importance
Of which at this time annot be fully esti-
mated or appreciated.
