Cultivate More Potatoes.

The springfield Republican comments
on the subject thus: The shortness and
scarcity of last seasons crop has taught
some lessons in regard to it that it is we'll
to heed. It has shown that foreign pota-
toes can be put upon our market and
sold from 60 to 80 cents bushel and
at profit. Now, then, this shows that we
must learn how to produce our crop for
less than fifty cents q bushel. It further
shows that whenev err the price of our
own production reaches dollar BUSH
ell, the eye of the spectator is turned
eastward, and with the tinkle of Uncle
Sans gold come in whole ship loads of
Eropean potatoes. The result is
that down goes the price. The import,,
ton Of potatoes has become large bust
ness. Within few weeks over 10000
bushels of European potatoes have been
landed ut Boston aud New York. The
largest part of those that arrived at Bos-
ton were grown i'll Ireland and Scotland.
The bulk of those that landed in New
York were grown in Germany. The
duties on potatoes received at the Bos-
ton custom house since the LIST of Octo-
Der last, amount to nearly 100000. We
should heed these lessons and put lit
tie more brains into potato raising. The
yield per acre can be very much in
creased by proper planting, cultivation,
and cleanliness. Weeds and q large
yield of potatoes never grow together.

Farmers Short Notes..

Have you planted your tomatoes, mel
ons, sweetcorn, bush beans, okra, pep
pers, squashes? Eggs plants, Limas,
ed in this climate. See to the succession
of sweet corn, lettuce, radishes.
Give the children a- little spot OF
ground, and show them how to take their
beds, and SOW their seed. Do not fail to
let them know you arc interested in
their work, for if they think you are not
interested, they will soon think it is of
little account.
Quite an unsual occurrence took place
near Belleview, Ga, one day last week.
A mare with her colt by some means
gained admittance to lot in which were
several of working bees. The
motherly animal, in her investigations of
the surroundings, unfortunately upset a
bee gum, when the little busy stingers
fastened punctuation points on tho young
colt, in a little time inficting injuries
from which the animal died.
Prof. baltimore, of Roches
ter University New York, analy-
zed a number of samples
ofprcpared food, and found most of them
adulterated. Three samples of canned
fruit, pickles and ground coffees were
found to be more or less tempered with
in this respect. The ground spices ex-
ahmed were found adulterated from 40
to 80 per cent. The teas tested we're
pronounced pure.
DR.. Lawes says, in the North British
Agriculturist, that there is very little

that the only part of the ammonia or nj.
trates that escapes being washed out Of
the soil is that which, being arrested by
the roots of plants, deposited respectively

But this "isn'ta circumstance" as Chica-
go says, to what, according to the story
Of one of the American colony, hap
rened here once. The nurse had lit
tie child Of the crown prince out for a
walk, and happened TO pass ono of the
guardshouses. The sentry on duty
yelled, the guard turned and presented
arms, while the drums beat. Just
as the nurse and child got in front of
the line of soldiers, the Child espied a
heap Of nice, clean sand suitable for the
manufacture of mud pies. The instinct
of the child got the better of its training;
it broke away from its nurse and began
to play in the sand. The nurse protest
ed, entreated, Degged-out it Was Of no
use. That child was bound to indulge
in little plebeian amusements. 1t had
it's own way, and played in the sand
until it had satisfied its royal mind, and

wore his drum-head out.

Cattle Raising I'm Texas.

Westward from Houston the country
becomes dryer, though there is still much
low prairie. All along the road through
this region one sees many cattle, and
soon learns the meaning of accounts, so
often repeated, Of cattle being able to
live out all winter, without food or shell
ter They do live SO; that is some of
them do. Many die from starvation. 1
saw there bodies everywhere, and many
of them still alive were wretchedly ema-
ciated. Hundreds of them were, to
use an expressive southwestern
phrase, ION, on the lift;"
that is, when they laid down they were
so weak that they could not get up; but
if they were helped to get up they could
walk about and feed, until weari-
ness or weakness prompted them
to lie down again, wien the process
had to be repeated. l saw great num-
bers of dead animals in the pools
and bitches, where they had come
to drink, and being too weak to
struggle through the mud they had fallen
into the water and been drowned. The
owners appeared generally to hold the
same cheerful philosophy with man
with whom talked at Corinth, Missis-
Slppl, VINO thought he dld not lose much
when hundreds of his sheep died
for want of food and shelter, becanse, as
lie said, "we git the wool" So those
Texas cattle men seemed satisfied with
the hides. Hundreds and thousands
of the cattle die when the new grass be-
gins to Gomez" so was told everywhere.
The explanation is that the cattle, weak
from long starvation and ravenous with
hunger, eat excessively of the fresh
grass. They have no "dry feed" to serve
as corrective, and the surfeit on green
food kills them. The whole system and
plan ofcattle- raising in this State seemed
to me to be enormously wasteful, yet the
industry is source of wealth. It would
however, be much more profitable with
better methods; and as population be-
come more dense, and the range for cat
tie is circumscribed, these will of neces-
sity be adopted. Nearly every pursuit
in the south is to a great extent carried
on, or rather goes on with similar waste
fulness of metod and result. Of course
no business thus managed produces on
much as it would if prosecuted with even
moderate energy, foresight, and
prudence. I should not like to
express my opinions upon
such matters 80 forcibly as south
ern men express theirs everywhere.

To Cure Gapes in Chickens.

The easiest treatment, and it is sure, is
to put some carbolic acid into spoon or
metal saucer, and hold it over lamp;
dense white fumes will arise. Hold the
chickens head over this until nearly suf-
located; or, shut the chickens up in a
box and fumigate all together, watching
closely lest they be sufocated. The
fumes of the acid kill the worms and
they are coughed up. Another plan is
to fumigate with sulphur, and then give
three or four drops of solution of car
bolic acid and water-sixty drops of wa
ter to one Of acid-and nine cases out of
ten, chicks thus treated at night were all
right the next morning. When the car
bolic acid is not at hand, give few drops
of camphor and water: Some poultry
raisers have given kerosene in teaspoon
full doses every other day for week,
and others give small pill camphor
gum,

LOriIlS and SORGHUM,

Despite early assurances to the con-
trary, Com. Loring's interest in the
promising industry of growing sorghum
cane for syrup and sugar seems Of a very
lukewarm character. Lately special
committee Of the National Academy of
sciences appointed to Investigate the
matter, reported favorably OH the work
Of DR. Coer dr4g the last few year
ducing sugar from sorghum. Although
three ex-presidents of the society were
on the committee, still it seems the COM
missioner does not think their report of
sufficient Importance for publication.
Possibly there are good reasons of public
economy for this; in no case can we al
low ourselves for a moment to believe
the insinuation that it is due to any petty
jealousy arising from the fact that Gen.
LIE Dues nameis SO intimately connect
ed with tho growing popularity of this
industry.

To Make Potash.

To make potash you have only to leach
the ashes-that is, let water run through
them, which makes lye. In one hogs
head bore three or four inch holes, and
set it on frame sufficiently high to adj
NIT of pals or other vessels being placed
under it. Fill it with ashes, the upper
head being out. Pour on as much water
as the ashes will soak up, and as fast as
it runs in the vessels below, fill it up.
What runs through is lye. Continue
this as long as there is much strength in
the lye that comes through, Lye is
merely potash and water Boil it in all
iron kettle until all the water is evapor-
ated. What is left in the kettle is pot
ash.

The II Fowl.

The Light Brahma is said by many to
be the most profitable fowl for both eggs
and chickens. 1t is a good winter layer
and breeds early; the chicks are very
hardy, grow fast, and are in demand at
high prices in the market for early broil-
ers, and the fowls reach a weight Of
eight to twelve pounds at eight months
old. Of course all this is only secured
by the best of care, and no fowl living
will do we'll without that. The next best
fowl for eggs and chickens is the Ply
mouth Rock, andithe next best the game
fowl, which, while it is extra good in
quality, is quite small.

Saluting Infant Royalty at Ber-
lin.

San Francisco Chronicle Letter.
At the guardshouses there is consider
able fuss made whenever any royalty
passes that way. It is the duty and the
only duty of the sentry on guard to keep
his eye open for royalty. When he sees
it-and he seems to have a remarkably
long range of vision-he yells at the top
of his by no means musical voice. The
rest of the guard drop their cards and
pipes, rush precipitately out, fall in, and
present arms with drums beating. This
sort of thing is gone through with every
time any royalty passes. Even
the infant children of the
crown prince receive the same homage.
There is something strange in seeing a
lot of grown men present arms to q year
old infant. But they do it every time
the nurse Of the crown princes family
takes the children out for en- airing.

The Pallny Days Of Steamboat
Life Oh the Mississippi.

Mark Twain's thrilling account OF
steamboat life on the Mississippi has
awakened a peculiar interest in the sub.
icct with the millions who have read his
books. The time when boats like the
Matches and Robt. Il. Lee, had their
great trials of speed 'for life or death"
forms an era, as it were, in inland navi-
CATION of our country. These reflections
occurred to the mind Of a Commercial
reporter when day or two ago he had
the pleasure Of meeting the veteran
steamboat man, Capt. Chas. N. CORR, at
Wizards Hotel where lie now makes
his home. The fact that the captain is
one Of the oldest and most favorably
known gentlemen in the profession
having served in official capacities Of
tapta etc. for over thirty years, and
being acquainted throughout the Ohio
and Mississippi Valley-suggested bril-.
liant prospect for an interesting item to
the man of news. However, it became
at once apparent that Capt. CORR was not
the man who desired publicity of the
trials and triu1nphs attendant upon his
long career. Yet he was exceedingly
glad to refer to matter which might
prove of public interest and benefit. He
observed to the reporter: Sowing to
the exposure incident to a steamboat
mans life, I had been for many years
sufferer from Rheumatism. In seeking
relief 1 had spent great deal ofmoney,
and tried many remedies, but all with
no avail. Recently was induced to try
St. Jacobs Oil and found relief from the
first few applications. After the use of
two bottles I found myself entirely
cured. I take pleasure in recommend
ing this remedy to those suffering with
Rheumatism" Such Endorsements as
the foregoing, coming from our own peo-
pie, leave no doubt that the emphatic
claims made in the interest of the above
curative agent arc fully justified and
most efronnlu foundod

Death of a FOrty-Niner.

In the early days of California few
men were better known there than G.
Palmer, one of the pioneers, who died
on May at Oakland. He was the head
of the banking firm of Palmer, Cook e.
Co., which did not immence business,
and whose popularity did not suffer, to
say the least, from the following incident
which old Californians still like to recall:
One day depositor called at the bank
to draw SIS, 900. To the sudden with.
drawal of so large sum the consent of
Mr.. Palmer was necessary, but he was
engaged at a lumber yard a mile or so
away, and thither;; the depositor fastened
Mr.. Palmer at once agreed to let him
have his money, but neither pen, ink
nor paper was to be found. Thereupon
without moments hesitation he picked
up shingle and with piece of red chalk
drew upon it check for SIS, 900 payable
to the depositor's order. The single
was promptly honored at the bank, and
a better advertisement Of solvency, en-
terprise and an obliging disposition not
even a California pioneer could hav e
asked for.

In my experience in raising geese I

care of her eggs, not remove them
from the nest; nearly every egg is
bound to hatch in spite of the old the

goslings in the shell. manage by prli-
