A New York price current, of. May ssth, has
this to say Of potatoes:
Inc Bermuda steamer IL here with little over
SoO0 barrels. but the demand 10 good for prime
lots and it ID thought prices will be sustained
Strictly choice new Southern well culled are
readily salable at full prices, but nearly all lots
are poor, not carefully selected or culled, and
such are very dull and irregular. Old potatoes
are plenty and generally slow with prices weak
and irregular.
When vegetable-grower has raised a good
crop of potatoes 1t is self-robbery to neglect to
properly prepare them for market Don't let
your small potatoes sell the large ones The in
creased value Of carefully sorted and well. packed
potatoes will doubly remunerate the trucker for
his time and trouble in putting them in irst-cass
marketable condition. Carefully sort your pota-
toes into primes" and seconds" pack them
in good shape, and put them in the market on
their merits. Thus you will establish reputa-
ton for your potatoes, and the returns will be
much more satisfactory.
The FLoRIDIAN has endeavored TO keep these
important facts prominently before vegetable
growers. A strict observance of these recon-
mendations is essential to the satisfactory and
profitable prosecution of the industry.
And now few suggestions as to shipping.
Whether vegetables be perishabe or otherwise,
it is better TO have them at the steamers wharf
twelve hours in advance of sailing time than to
have them arrive few hours after her departure
In starting them on the railroad, the wiser plan
would be to allow a margin OF one train to cover
the possibility of accidents while en- route by
rail. Ifperishabe vegetables are shipped on the
last train by which it is possible TO connect with
the steamer-in case there is no accident-the
shipper runs the risk of missing the steamer
when there is an accident Truckmen know
what has been the usual result in such cases
heretofore, and it behooves them to guard against
the repetition of similar disasters in future

PRUNING CORN.

An Amateur's First Experience.
What Don Mcleod don't know about farming
amt worth knowing. All his experience in ag-
Experience is dear school, but some folks have
to learn in that school, however dear.
In the early spring Don planted patch of
corn in his garden-not specially because he was
passionately fond of roasting ears-but mere
particularly to demonstrate to his neighbors that
he was not only theoretical agricultural editor,
but also practical farmer, according TO the latest
improved methods of agriculture.
He was so completely wrapped up in the re-
suit of his first experiment that he wouldn't
allow anybody else to strike lick in the patch.
At morning, noon, and in the dewy eve, Don
toiled and delved in his "crap." When the
corn began to shoot and tassel he could be seen
proudly walking around that pet patch, stopping
on every side and silently admring the fine pros
pect of bounteous crop-the result Of his own
pet theory and hard ticks; and he would daily
60 through it, row by row and stalk by stalk,
and pull off the numerous " suckers." He knew
just what was required to give the main stalk all
the benefit of his honest toll he knew that prun-
ing was the correct thing for trees, and why not
equally 80 for corn he was determined that no
"suckers" should sap the vitality of his pet
crop.
When the stalks had grown high above his
head, tasseled out finely, made good crop OF
fodder and he could see no signs Of the roasting
ears with which he expected to astonish the ma
tives he became discouraged, and ventured to
inquire of a neighbor why his corn bore no ears,
telling said neighbor how he had delved and
struggled with that " crap how careful he had
been to keep the suckers plucked of, &c.
Now it 30 happened that this neighbor had
seen him pulling of the young shoots or ears as
fast as they appeared, but as he was TO show his
neighbors something new and novel In the agricul-
tural line, the neighbor thought great deal but
said nothing-thought that was one Of the i'm
proved methods necessary to success according to
manage bic own "crap"
When said neighbor gently broke the secret Of
the failure TO him, Don suddenly remembered
that important business at the Office demanded
his immediate attention, and the agriculture
patrons of the Land Of Flosoers may expect ssor
to read something very interesting upon the bes
method Of pruning corn.
DON says he don't care nickle for the roast
ing ears he didn't eat, but its the manner II
which he obtained his agricultural knowledg'
that makes him 'spise the intensive system o
farming.
