ed small potatoes of the Snowflake variety,
but from the Beauty of Hebrons he selected
the choicest They had the same cultiva-
ton, but the small potatoes were more pro-
life, and the crop from them superior in
every respect. Here we have q case in which
experiments were tried with two good varie-
ties of potatoes, and, after reversing the con-
ditions, the advantage was in favor of the
small potatoes in giving results.
A grain of whea. is a marvellous little
thing in its structure and composition.
The outside layer, or cuticle, which forms
the bran is composed mainly of slick. The
next layer inside this is gluten. Gluten
pure is composed mainly of protein, which
is the basis of the heterogeneous compounds-
albumen, fibrin, casein-gith trace of sui
phur. Next comes starch, and in the CEN
ter of the kernel where the outer layer
turns into the body and doubles around,
forming an inner artshaped section, lie
the phosphates of soda, lime and magnesia,
which are the bone and brain-making ele-
ments of wheat In the crease. near the

A late number of the Gardner's Chronicle
contains detailed account OF some expert
ments which have been made in grating po-
tatoes for producing graft by birds, but with
single exception without any success.
Some years ago this mode of attempting TO
produce crosses was thought to promise great
results; but it appears now to be given up
as of little value. Placing the faces OF two
unlike scions together may produce a union
between them in precisely the same way
that the graft and stock In common grating
adhere together; and as the stock sometimes
effects an influence on the graft. so the two
gratis may produce some change. What are
termed accidental 'sports"-oiten caused by
some external injury-have given more dis
tinct new sorts than grating has ever &C
complished. Raising new plants from seed
is much easier and more prolific mode o.
obtaining new varieties, and when in add

Large and Small Potatoes for Seed.
rCorrespondencs Country Gentleman.l

The past seasons experience ought to
solve the question as to whether small pota-
toes are as good as large ones for planting
The scarcity of potatoes last spring occaN
stoned the planting of many small ana IN,
ferior tubers, and the resulting crops will
convince many that there was little lost
from using the small seed. At least this has
been the result of my observations IL this
section, In my experience small-sized po-
tatoes of the Beauty or Hebron variety have
produced a crop of excellent qualIty
and size, but of small yield. The
same is true with the Burbank variety,
planted later, both varieties yield
however, being small. A circumstance has
lately come under my observation which
has had considerable weight in my mind in
deciding this question. A party came to me
last spring after | had finished planting po-
tatoes, and after / had sold all OF my surplus
seed with the exception of a bushel or SO of
small potatoes-the culls from previous
sorting-which averaged but little larger
than a bickorynut in size. Seed being very
scarce the party referred TO decided to take
these small specimens, and, although Tree
" expressed my belief that they were too
small for seed, they were planted The
soil was favorable, being a clover and timo-
thy sod, and, somewhat to my sur
prise, the yield and size eff the tubers
| Is large LOT tnls season. L an ue0iuSu
in my own mind that the only
advantage in large potatoes over
small ones for seed, is in the extra amount
of pourishment which the large potatoe:
afford the young plants during their earlier
stages of growth. The difference is much
less on rich than on poor soil, because or
rich land the young potato plants require
much less nourishment, and are better able
to take care OF themselves For this reason
am not in favor of cutting potatoes to few
eyes, as recommended by some potato grow
ers. Much better results will be secured
believe, especially on light soil, by planting
whole tubers and thinning out the stalks
leaving but two or four to q hill. In this
way large, stout tops are produced, which
are better able to resist the effects of drough
or the depredations of insects, and usually
such strong-gro wing tops (unless OF owe
size) will paoduce large potatoes and de
sirable yield.

One of the stockholders of a new Western
railroad was farmer who had accumulated
his money by hard toll, and when he had
put in an appearance at the meeting to elect
Board OF Directors he felt it his duty to
remark:
Gentlemen, as I understand this thing
we elect the Board and the Board elects the
officers"
Some one SAID that he was right, and he
continued:
~ don't GO cent on high salaries, and 1
want that understood. 1 am in favor of
paying our President a good living salary,
and no more"
"How much do you call a good living sal
ary?" asked one Of the crowd.
"Well, 50 day is the going wages, but"
Here the meeting began to roar, and it
was two or three minutes before the orator
had a chance TO continue:
But of course we want a man who can
run an engine. switch a train, handle
freight, keep books, and lick anybody who
went pay fare. and so l shall not object to

The udder is as susceptible or develop

Ament comes of circulation to the part, and
Tree motion invites blood, while inactivity

Grapevine supports.

Ohio fermer.I
Mr.. Reed. of Wayne County, contributes
the following plan OF preparing supports
and training grapevines: Set post OF good
material in the ground, two and nai1 OF
three feet-three feet out-say four feet from
the whereof. If the vine is variety OF
thrifty growth it would require two posts three
or four feet apart. Bolt to the posts in the
ground q scantling of any desirable height
eight feet or more-with q bolt near the top
of the ground in the short post. and another
near the top of said post. When the vine
has attained sufficient length cut
notch in the scantling above the top oil the
DC st large enough for the vine, and put the
vine in and nail q piece of lath over IT;
then. after it has attained sufficient length,
bend it, at the distance of two or three feet,
and bring it back through smother notch,
and 90 on till you fill up the post, putting
them some twenty or twenty-four inches
apart. If it is thought best to use two posts
nail piece Of fence board from the top oil
one post TO the other.
The advantages are: Ill 1t makes the
vine its own trellis. (2.) To trim the vine
or pick the fruit set a trestle, pull out the
lower bolt and turn il dowa on the trestle
aud it is easily got 81. (3.) Ii desirable TO
have the lower buds start their growth trst

How to Stop q Runaway Horse.
iitor of The New York Herald:


Several years ago / attended a lecture
given by Rarey, the celebrated horse trainer,
in the course of which he claimed that any
runaway horse could be controlled with a
knowledge OF the proper treatment, and
what learned from him has served me on
more than one occasion during the many
years / have driven around New York.
Rarey's directions were as follows: First
TO know that the harness is all right, and
that the bit and harness are of proper
strength; never to drive with a slack rein,
and always to keep the feet untrsm-
meled, ready for any emergency; sec
ond, as soon as you find that the
horse is running away, with all the power
of the right arm jerk the horses head to the
side of the neck, at the same time springing
20 the left of the vehicle ready to jump.
As soon as done i'm Immediately jerk the horse s
head to the left side of the neck and change
your position to the opposite side of the car
rage. Repeating this with all ones strength
and IS quickly as possible, the horse must
- his speed. Under this treatment it is
.-sible for him to proceed, but il must
'0e done quickly. SO as not to allow the horse
70 strengthen his position or to turn around
have been run away with several times,
and have always tried Rarey's plan with
success.
