Just Received.

Davis & Townshend have received
a part of a car load of New Champ
ion Mowers and Combind Machines.
Most of them are already sold and
parties who have given their orders
can come at any time and get their
machine. Those who wish to buy a
machine should consider the superior
qualities of the New Champion over
other machines, the convenience in
getting repairs for a machine in such
general use; also bearing in mind
that for years past those who gave
orders late in the season could not be
supplied. The demand is greater than
the supply, Notwithstanding from
sixty to seventy-five thousand are
manufactured yearly. The ROLAND
Chilled Plow takes the lead. Four
were sold in one day. They sell them
selves when tried. We have several
of the celebrated Brown Wagons on
hand. Thomas Hay Rakes, Feed Cut
tiers, Buggies, &c. Have on hand and
for sale a car load of good oats.

How to Cut Potatoes for Seed.

DIR. Sturtevant has made some in
teresting experiments with the potato
at the New York Experiments Station,
which shows that deep, cut and single
eyes produce the most and best
marketable potatoes, while single
eyes cut shallow were inferior. From
a dissection of the potato the Doctor
finds it put together something like
the cone of a pine tree, the buds or
eyes of the potato being connected by
a sort of umbilical cord with the CEN
tire of the potato, at which point is
the core or central stem. These in
ternal stems or veins may be plainly
seen in thin slices from stem to seed
end, and holding up to the strong
light ola lamp. The appearance will
be something like the frost work on
our window panes on winter morn
ings. After the starch grains are
bursted by cooking, those veins prob.
ably disappear or are les visible. The
new theory advanced by DIR. Sturte.
want is that the potato should be so
cut as to keep the connection between
the eye and the centre of the tuber.
The experiments for the past season
showed that an eye cut shallow in
every case gave smaller yield than
when it was cut long or deep, so as
to reach the centre of the potato.
We commend this subject to the at
tention of our potato growers the
coming season. Any suggestion COM
ing from DR.. Sturtevant is entitled
to due consideration.

Baltimore Live Stock Market.
[From Baltimore American

MONDAY, April %, 1888.
The quotations given are those of
the retail market, except where other
wise stated.
PRICES OF BEEF CATTLE AT THE
MARKET TODAY.
Very best on sale to-day 64M74
cts that generally rated first quality,
5b(06 Gents; medium or good fair
quality, 43054 cents; ordinary thin
steers, oxen and cows. 4(04f cents /;
extreme range of prices, 4l97B cents.
Most of the sales were from 5$(G6k.
REMARKS ON BEEF CATTLE.
The arrival of Cattle during the
week amounted to |, 232 head, against
1,069 last week and 1872 head the cor
responding week Of last year, and the
sales were 1872 head. against $50 last
week, and 726 head the corresponding
week of last year.
The market has been fairly active
to-day on the Hill, but at 4c. decline
in prices as compared with the figures
of last week. In some cases a larger
fraction-most dealers thought &C.
indicated more nearly the decline on
common grades. The quality was of
as good an average as last week,
though there were, perhaps, this
week fewer of the extreme tops than
there were last week. Prices 4@75c,
with most sales from 53@6sc.
THE SWINE MARKET.
There is a decided falling off IN the
number of the offerings as COMPARED
with last week-nearly 1000 head.
The quality is quite as good as it was
then. The receipts, though light,
seem to be about equal to a rather
moderate demand. In some of the
pens trade is reported moderate, in
Others good, and in others slow. We
quote prices as 4c. off from last week
on diminished receipts. Quotations
94@10Sc., with most sales from 1890
10$c. net.
THE SHEEP MARKET.
There has been no outside demand
for Sheep or Lambs to-day, and the
purchases of our home butchers being
light, the very limited offerings
nearly 1000 head less than last week
proved sufficient to supply a dull
market. The quality was of scarcely
as good an average as last week.
There was fair demand for Lambs
as they were in a very limited sup
ply. Wool Sheep sold for 4(064c., few
selling at the latter pric,'; sheared 4
(9aac. /; Lambs 8!(91lc. per Id. gross.
