An exchange says that the miIkmcu IN
many cities milk their cows at three O'Clock
in Che morning, in order to get on their routes
early. Ih1t is probably the reason so much
other liquid has TO be used TO make the milk
90 around. They milk the COWS SO often that
the COW becomes discour gcd because She
don't have time to accumulate any milk. 1t is
just like bar-keeper holding the glass so
close to the spgot. The beer glass would be-
full of beer, and less foam, and the milk con.
tain less water, if the bar keepers would give
the beer time to rum and the milk-men give
the cows time to catch on, before making a
draft on the trcasury.-Peck's Sun.
Three thousand tons Of guano will be
sold from Rome, Ga, this season, thus indi
eating very large cotton acreage.

THE FUTURE or THE POTATO.
Alarm Concerning the crop IN the British
Islands.

During the last fiscal year the United |
Statps imported. chiefly from SEQ land. |
S,77S 3O8 bushels of potatoes, valued |
at the point of shipment at 81 Gj6, 1868
They paid duties to the amount of % 81
cents per bu>hel. The crop never re-
ceives the attention it deserves in this
country, and many sections are very
poorly supplied with potatoes. The
portions of the country best adapted To
the production OF the potato are also
favorable to the production of small
grain, and this receives the greatest
attention. Most farmers prefer to
raise grain because the crop can be
sown, harvested, and prepared for the
market by the employment of ma
chinery. They also prefer grain to
potatoes because it can be stored and
marketed with less trouble and eX-
pense. The production OF potatoes is
very small in most parts of the cuun-
try south of the latitude of Cincinnati,
principally because the summers are SO
not aud dry. Taero IS little trouble in
producing tubers for early use, but it
is difficult to mature them late in the
season or to keep them that ripen early
for use during the winter.
The British islands have long been
noted for tn" production OF potatoes.
The climate las been considered excel
lent, being cool and moist. But the
moisture is often in excess, while cloudy
skies are often the rule for many
months. The lack of sunshine and the
excess of moisture in the soil are gen
orally believed to be the leading cau.eS
of the potato disease that has lately be-
come very prevalent. Great alarm
now exists in relation to the future Of
the potato in the British islands. An
agricultural correspondent of The
Glasgow Herald presents this gloomy
view of the subject:
Nothing at the presenttim time is giving
farmers and gardeners more cause for
anxiety than the future OF the potato
In Scotland. and indeed everywhere
else, men are almost at their wits end
on the subject Of the potato disease;
remedies seem difficult to discover, and
the only effective preventive that has
been successfully resOrted to is the very
unfortunate one of nOn-cultvation,
which, OF course, means the ultimate
extinction of The root. The losses en-
dured by persistent growers of the po-
talO have been so heavy that even the
most peraevering cuItivators have been
one by one driven from the field alto
gcther, or compelled year 10y year to
limit the area OF growth. The money
value OF the potato crop of Great
Britain used to sum up to Il big figure
and even now it is still of Importance
much rs the planted area has been
reproduced. The following table de.
notes the acreage of the last two years

The FIOOde Il Mines,

The extent of the damage entailed by the
disaster in the Second Ward is now being
fully realized. The Conyngham and Balti-
more mines are entirely flooded, the water
being over two hundred feet deep in the
former. The embankment supporting the
main track of the Delaware and Hudson
Canal Company's coal road has caved in,
and the track has fallen down. As yet no
other building besides the two houses,
whose fall was previously reported have
gone down, but one is in imminent dan
ger.
The efforts to stop the flow of water into
the mines have been almost entirely sue
cessful, though a force of men are still at
work. filling up the sink hole with large
stones and other material. The inflow has
been so far checked that the water has ris.
en- in the depression to the level of its for
mer course, and is now running OFF as be-
fore. On Friday the pumps of the inunda-
ted collieries were set to work, and on Sat
urday buckets were also put in operation
1t is estimated, however, that fully siA
weeks, perhaps more, will elapse befor,
the mines will be in working order again
Meanwhile some six hundred men ant
boys will be idle. Wakesbars Record.

1t is pleasant to go in the extensive
clothing establishment of David Lowen-
berg, for several reasons. One finds there
the largest stock of ready, rlade clothing in
the county, and the affable manners OF the
proprietor and his assistants render it a
pleasure to deal with them. Just at this
season of the year, when light summer
clothing is in demand, you will find here
a very large stock from which to choose.
Straw hats, summer neckwear, and gents
furnishing goods are exhibited in great
variety, and the show windows are ar
ranged with excellent taste. In the GUS
tom department under the superintendent
cy of Mr.. j. II. Townsend, elegant suits
are turned out, well made, perfect in fit,
and at very reasonable prices. Don't for
get Lowenberg when you want anything
in the clothing line.

To make local paper interesting it is
necessary that the editors should be made
acquainted with the local news. Many
people who know of items worth publish
ing quietly keep them to themselves, and
then find fault with the papers because no
mention is made of them. People whose
friends die give the papers no information
of the fact and then feel hurt if a lengthy
obituary does not appear. People who
get married feel sighted if the announce
ment is not made in the marriage column.
We cannot publish news or items of any
kind of which we have no knowledge, and
the only way we can get them is for our
friends through the county to send them
in

Ex-senator f. j. MclIenry, whose death
we announced last week, was born in FISH
ingcreek township, Columbia county,
March "a, 1888, and was raised upon farm
and educated in the common schools of
that section. He learned the trade of a
miller which he followed for some time.
In 1874 he received the democratic nomi-
nation for the legislature and was elected
by a handsome majority. He took his seat
and served at the session of 1875. lie was
re elected to the session of 1876. On the
death of the Hon. George d. Jackson, who
represented this district in the state, he
was elected to fill the vacancy and served

In conversation with some of our far.
mers few days since we were told that
the use of Paris green on the potatoes has
injured the land. Where hay has aftei-
ward been produced the crop is much in
ferlor; and at this season of the year, by
close observation, every section of land
where Paris green was used last year, can
be readily distinguished in the growing
corn. The corn seems to have no life,
while adjoining, and in the same field,
under the same cultivation, the corn is
thrifty-showing rapid growth. A number
of farmers have noticed this destruction OF
the SOIL and haye given their opinions as
formed in the rotation of crops. We give
the information to our readers that little
caution may be used to avert this injury
aud again restore the land. The potato
bugs are fast disappearing, and ms little
Paris green as possible should be used.
