sprouted and Unsprouted Potatoes.

The Massachusetts Ploughman records an
experiment which goes to prove that un-
sprouted potatoes are the best for planting:
TO test the difference between potatoes that
had been sprouted and those which had not,
small piece of land was planted June 10: the
sprouts were six inches or more in length;
they were handled very carefully so as not to
injure them, and planted with the sprouts
above ground several inches As the pota-
toes had been kept in the dark the sprouts
were white and very tender so much so that
it was expected they would dry up and die
before night, but much to our surprise they
gradually turned green and soon began to
grow; by the side of these vas
planted, at the same time, q
portion of the same lot of potatoes,
with the sprouts all taken off; before these
appeared above ground those with the
sprouts left on were nearly foot in height.
with stalks nearly twice as large as those
from the sprouted seed were when they had
attained the same size. The difference be-
tween the sprouted and unsprouted seed has
continued up to the present time to be near
ly equal to what it was when the sprouted
seed had been above ground week. There
is marked difference in the size and vigor
OF the stalks and leaves. those from the
spr0uted seed being the smallest. That the

Heroic Trea. went for BIoat in a Cow.

Mr.. A. +, Denny, OF Kansas City, MO is
the owner of a valuable Jersey COW which,
in May last, had q violent attack of bloat.
The animal had been grazing during the day
on white clover and blue grass and in the
evening was turned for about thirty minutes
into an orchard heavily set in red clover.
When the time came for milking, the COW
showed signs of being in great distress, and
in few minutes began to choke. At a sug-
gestion from a byStander, Mr.. Denny's son
mounted a horse and ran the COW around a
ten-aere lot for fifteen or twenty minutes un-
I'll it was clearly apparent that this sort of
treatment was sOrey Furnishing the animal,
instead of giving the much-needed relief
MIR. Denny then took a small bladed knife
and inserted il in the left flank, just below
the hip and behind the last rib. The gas es-
capped freely for a few moments giving
speedy relief to her sufferings when the
grass filled the hole. He repeated the treat
ment making lew missions each time, but
with similar results. Goose quilts were in
serted in the oriices, but the grass filled these
upaDd prevented the escape of the gas Final
", when the COW seemed to be on the point
OF choking to death, the owner made an in
cision large enough to permit the introduce
ton of his hand, and proceeded to take nearly
a bushel Of grass from the animals stomach
Immediate and permanent relief was the re-
suit A surgeon was then sent for, who skill
fully Sewed up the wound and prescribed
the following treatment: To prevent vermin
from lnfesting the sore it was duly washed
with diluted carbolic acid and dressed with
a preparation OF tar and tallow cooked to-
gether. The COW was kept covered with a
blanket to prevent the flies from annoying
her, and fed sparingly on an exclusive diet
of bran mashes. This was kept up until the
latter part of August, when she had so far
recovered as to be tnrned out to pasture in
the day time, but was tied up at night. The
animal is now well and thriving finely.
The treatment while in this case effective
enough, is certainly not the best that may
be adopted, as it involves long and careful
nursing and watching after the cure is made,
with even then more or less risk of losing
valuable animal. 1t may occur to some that
little care used to prevent bloat would be
easier and more profitable for the owner, and
possibly little pleasanter for the COW.

state Fairs a Quarter OF n Century Ago.
TChicagO Tribune


Mr.. Y. Divelbis, Assistant Secretary of the
State Fair, was engaged in conversation by
reporter last evening on early State Fairs.
Said the gentleman, IN retrospectlon OF the
thirty State Fairs held in Illinois, Il have
been an official in twenty-seven of them-as
ticket seller or as Assistant Secretary. At the
first State Fair where / sold tickets, the
people UenttO Chicagoon the deck of barge,
which was towed by tug. and the fare was
% cents. Visitors focked from all parts OF
the country They came in their wagons,
with their cooking utensils and camp equi-
pages and camped until the Fair was over.
The admission was twenty-five cents a head
or family ticket for 81. These family tick
cts were good for week. They were blue
ribbon badges seven inches long by two
inches wide. As the number of persons were
not designated on this badge the family was
limited by the mans conscience, and often
counted eight and ten full-grown people 90
in on one family badge. Once 1 counted
fourteen But those tricks were not played
Oftel-peOple were more honest in those
days than they now. In a few
wears we abolished the family badge
and it was long time before the
rural visitors got accustomed to the single
admission revised plan. For years
they would repeatedly ask for those blue
family tickets All those were primitive
days indeed, and it does me good to revive
those pleasant recollectons. That was more
OF those DAYS were as we'll attended almost
as they are now. 1t appears to me that the
crowds we're as great and we took in as much
money-there were not so many dead-heads
is perhaps one reason. The people who at
tended were mainly country people, whose
chief interest was in live stock, for there was
not much improved machinery in those
days The greatest object OF interest
was improved live stock. In those days
they would not take money premiums;
they would almost consider it an insult,
The premiums were in silverware, etc. There
was James NJ Brown, one of the best breed
ers of Short-Horns. He imported Short
Horn bull from England, at a cost of $1,000,
and was offered s., 900 for him. Brown took
premiums at every Fair for years and had
about So 600 worth of silver plate in premi-
ums His sons now live at Island Grove
Sangamon County, and of course preserve
the plate as heirlooms. That was the great
incentive-the prize-nOt the intrinsic value.
For instance, there was a gentleman named
r. II. Holder had $1,000 worth of stuffed
birds for exhibition. 1t rained and his ex-
hibits were ruined before the Fair was
opened, otherwise he would have gained the
plate, no doubt. These are but instances of
the liberal contention that existed in those
good old days of early State Fairs"

Water Fowls as BarOmeters.

In new book called ''The Fowler in
Ireland" Sir Ralph Payne Calvert states
that the movement of the water fowl in
dicate approaching changes in the wealth
er more surely than any barometer. Thus,
if ducks fly but short way after a shot, a
violent gale may be confidently expected.
Snipe, like duck, will rest and feed in
prospect of disturbance of the elements.
When the gale comes roaring down, per-
haps accompanied by rain or sleet, these
birds will rise from their retreat, and
whirl about like dead leaves in the murky
sky" An arrival of wild swan intimates
severe frost if they leave suddenly as
they came, the weather will turn mild
again. Herons will break away from
their fishing when it is coming on to blow
from certain quarter, for they dislike
beating homeward in the teeth of the
wind

A Mexican Hacienda.

Much, says correspondent of the In
dianapolis Journal, has been said and
written about the extent and possibilities
of these Mexican haciendas, but probably
few people realize the enormous extent of
some of them. In the Central and
Northern States of Mexico are found es-
tates large enough to hide many princi-
pality of Europe or States like our own lit
tie "Rhody A million and half of acres
of this fruitful soil which bears every
thing grown in both temperate and tropi-
cal zones, and produces two crops year
is neat little farm, by no means to be
"despised," as the immortal Sairy Camp
said of "vittals." The famous Solado
ranch, for example, contains over six
hundred square miles. 1t lies partly in
Zacatecas and San Luis POtosi, on the
highway to the city of Mexico, and on
the line of the Mexican Central railway.
1t is at at an elevation of 1000 feet, on
the famous central table-lands of the re-
public. It's boundaries extend more
than one hundred miles from north to
south. Chains of mountains, how rich
in mineral wealth no man knows, traverse
it, and fourishing farms and mining
towns are met with at frequent intervals.
The fact is, all Mexico is owned by a
comparatively few individuals, which is
the reason why there is such wide dis
tinction of caste and so little progress in
agriculture and manufactures. Generally
the proprietor of these vast estates enjoys
life abroad or in the city of Mexico, and
his poems living on the land take about
as much interest in the cultivation
thereof as would negro slaves without
