A Big Yield of Potatoes.

About 1855 to 1855 man by the name
of Parker, who lived on the Mokelum-
me River. in San Joaquin County. Cal. :.
made oath before the Commissioner OF
the San Joaquin Agricultural Society
that he had raised $500 bushels of pota-
toes on an acre. The story was so as
tonishing that committee was appoint
ed to investigate it. They reported that
the ground was planted as usual in the
spring and matured large crop of pota-
toes; that before the potatoes were dug,
the June rise of the river sent the water
near to the surface, producing second
crop on the surface. the ground beirg
nearly covered with the potatoes.
When the water went down, month or
two later, a third crop set in and matur-
ed below the first. The committee dug
several hills, which produced from
seventy-five to eighty-seven pounds
each. The top potatoes were sunburned
and worthless for the table; the first
crop was, of course, worthless, and but
small quantity of the lower or third
crop was good. The digging and weigh
ing of the potatoes were not very care
fully done. A close estimate would
probably have reduced the figures con-
siderabty, but no one who examined the
field placed the yield at less than twelve
hundred bushels to the acre. The
ground was utterly exhausted, produc-
ing nothing for some years after.

NEWS OF THE RAILROADS

Although the projected branch of the
Minnesota Central has been much talked Of
its exact course is probably not understood
The lines. crosses above the head of Lake
Pepin, making short rcuit, and then de-
sends the left bank to a point below
Maiden Rock and North Pepin, both of
which will probably be stations From this
point to the largest bend on the Lower Chip
pewa, about Fall City, is almost straight
line, taking IN Arkansaw, Dead Lake,
Round Hill and other places opposite Du-
rand, while from Fall City the line to Eau
Claire is nearly parallel with the river.
The contract for building the Fargo South
ern railway from Fargo to a connection
with the Rock Island road has been made,
ard will be ratified by the board of direc-
tors. This will give railway communication
to Chicago and st. Louis independent of st.
Paul and Minneapolis. Work will begin at
once, as material is on the way.
The Manitoba road opened up a new line
recently, and announces its readiness to re-
ceive business for the same. This is the
branch road from Shirley to st. Hilaire on
the Red Lake river, a distance oftwenty- wo
miles.
Mr.. III. c. Gavin, for some time agent of
the Winona & st. Peter railroad at Tracy,
has been appointed travelling freight agent

A company in close sympathy with the
Omaha road will build road from Cam

Farm Drainage.

The subject of farm drainage, which
was some years ago much discussed, is
receiving a good deal of attention in
States where the need oft is most
felt. In one county in West Virginia
there are said to be over 100000 feet OF
tile drains, which have improved the
land many fold beyond the cost of the
work. The land lies alon , the Kanawha,
and much of it was almost valueless un-
til brought into productiveness by art
lficial drainage. In Ohio and Indiana
the good results of money expanded in
this way are everywhere seen. Mr.. q.
M. Harrison, at a recent meeting of the
Ohio Drainage Association. said that
profit on good drainage is from twenty
five to one hundred per cent. year.
He spoke of one county in Indiana
where the yield of wheat had been in
creased by draining from nine and a
half bushels to nineteen bushels, and
from thirty -one bushels of corn to seven
tv-one. at the same time there was full
ly sixty per cent. decrease in malarial
diseases. Among the good results of
drainage Mr.. Harrison said it is of meal
culable benefit to the public roads; it
does away with much of the mud about
the farm buildings, and, most important
of all perhaps, it drives away NOR
tagages from a farming community.

Tornado in Wisconsin,


There was lively tornado in Wiscon sin
on Tuesday last. The destruction of property
was great, houses, barns, orchards and shade
trees being laid waste in a path two
miles broad and twenty to thirty
the storm was about two miles in width,
and took in the towns of Ripon, Green,
Lake, hartford, Oakfeld, Lamartine, Byron,
New Cassel, Mayville and the intermediate
country. The destruction was mainly the
unrootiHg of barns and blowing down of
trees and fences. At Oakfield the large hay
press and barn belonging to King & Irwin,
containing 100 tons of hay, was completely
demolished. Loss S., COO. Hardly chin
ney is left in the town. Barns innumerable
are destroyed, and the loss in and about
Oakfeld will foot up $4,000.
AT Blair on the Green Bay railroad a
large number of barns were shredded into
kindling wood and scattered over the coun-
Mundson, H. Johnson, and G. Jennings are
total wrecks. The house OF E. Bergerson is
unroofed. Wind broke fence posts off close
to the ground, as though they had been
corn stalks. and twisted sturdy trees into
ropes.
At Brandon, Asmuth's elevator and the
Eagle mill were unroofed, W. L. Shurt's
barn was blown down, and Butts
& Moore's warehouse of agricultural
implements was wrecked. The lumber
sheds in the vicinity of G. P. Knapps plan
ing mills were blown down and the piles
OF lumber scattered all over the lumber yard
At Fort Washington several fishermen
were on the lake and three of them were
drowned, named g. Hollander, j. Soule and
G. G. French. More than twenty barnes
have been unroofed and blown down. Re-
ports show that over 200 buildings were de-
stroyed in the towns of Belgium and Ere
donia. At RIpon the storm covered strip
of country about ten miles wide. More
than twenty barns are reported entirely de-
stroyed and many unroofed.

On Top the Washington Monu-
m9nt.

The sensation of going up hundreds of
feet suspended by rope into an awful
blackness and silence of the stone that
would crush anything human into jelly
upon which it fell, is simply indescrib-
able. The. higher one goes the more the
sense of horror increases, until the last
hundred feet are made in the midst of
fearful silence, no matter how merry
the party was on starting. 1t takes six
minutes to get to the top. and it feels
like six hours. Arrived there, the STEP
ling out into air and light reveals pal!id
faces and trembling limbs on the part of
the excursionists.
The only thing that maintains its pro-
portions is the Capitol, which appears
even grander from that elevation. The
noblelhight of Capitol Hill is then realized
the great white dome seems nearer and
larger than can be imagined, and stands
out magnifcently dwarfng every other
object in the horizon into insignificance.
1t seems as il there were but two objects
in existence there-the mighty shaft
and the glorious dome. Around the
obelisk is wire netting to rescue such
chance tools and garments which the
high wind always prevailing up there
may blow away. The workmen show
the usual Indifference of their craft to

Death OF Col. Farduhar,

Col. Francis U. Farquhar, of the United
States engineer corps, died at the Russell
house in Detroit on the 4th inst, of Bright's
disease, it is supposed. He had been ailing
several months, but neither he nor his i'm
mediate friends suspected that his condition
was critical. He attended regularly to his du-
ties until four days previous. 1t appears
now that only his indomitable courage kept
him up, and when he finally felt compelled
to remain at home, his disease had already
made such ravages that he could net rally.
Col. Farquhar was native of Pottsville, Pa;
graduated at West Point in 1851; was pro-
NOTED and brevetted tor gallantry in several
battles, and after the war had charge of the
governments works in Detroit, Minnesota,
and finally transferred to Washington.
During the recent con vention of the Ameri-
can association of engineers he read an able
and carefully prepared paper upon the inn
provements at st. Anthony's falls, and was
in daily attendance upon the session of that
body. As an engineer. Col. Farquhar held
a very high rank; as a soldier, he was
chivalrous, cool HEADED and alw VS. at the
'front.' as an officer. he was noted for many
of those qualities that are inherent in men
born to command" as gentleman, he
always exemplified the old tradition that
held the army officer up as model of
personal department and private character

The Tide of Summer Travel Across

"Gath" writes: Steamships are still
poor things. Nobody has been to work
at them to make anything better out OF
them. They consist of one great room,
the width of the ship, filled with tables
for eating, and there run two doleful
penitentiary corridors between the
engine and the state-rooms. The people

acquaintance. at least two to room,
and when Cooks or Jenkins tourist
parties 60 cut they put about four in a
room. Living on these steamers is
very plain, and all the scraps are utilized.
From the moment the passenger leaves
his native shore he has to take English
food, English cooking and English
drink. AS general rule the average Of
look at as the same number of persons
on Broadway. The fare in round figures
to Europe is 500 each way on the best
ships, though sometimes an extra $50,
$50, or even 500 is paid to secure full
rooro, or one of the officers rooms. The
officers of these ships are generally al
lowed to sell out their rooms. There are
steamers which take passen-
gers out for as low as
as SIS, $65, and $75, and on some of
these lines passage can be had to Glas-
Cow or London and return for about
800 to $120. There are fees to be paid
on all of these vessels, however, which
bring the figure up considerably. AS
general rule it costs $3.50 to go to Europe
and back. and take it all in all, it is
very cheap expenditure of money for a
man worn out in business and needing
real rest and health. 1t takes about
eighteen days to 60 to Europe and back,

Boston papers complain that the mil
itary companies of that city overdo
things in welcoming Southern military
organizations. A late steamboat excur-
sion is said to have been as disgraceful
an orgie as was ever seen in that latitude.

and cigars to bridge the bloody chasm."
Staid people think it could have been
better done in some other way. The
Southerners entertained were the Con-
tinental Guards, of New Orleans, one of
the best known military companies of
the South, and are famous for wealth,
influence, and social position. Among
the members are three ex-goyernors,

ex-mayors of New Orleans, the present

Yes, in this way: We are now can

hours after pulling it out of the ground.
1t is gathered in the early morning be-

toes, OF which we are putting up 1900
cans daily at our factory at Morristown,
N. j., where string of wagons a mile
long is waiting every morning to receive
the cans. The same holds good with
peas, which are also gathered before the
suns heat can get to them. If you buy
