The Kind Of Potatoes for Seed.


The time is arriving when the peri
odical questions which are not and
never will be settled come up for annu-
al discussion. One of these is impor-
tant just now-that is, what is the best
kind of potatoes for seed. Some think
large ones are the best, some believe
small ones are as good as any, and
Others fancy the medium size are to be
preferred. No doubt all are right, for
as a small cion grows to be large and
vigorous tree as quickly as large one,
and a small bud makes as good
branch as a large one, so a small potaS
to, which is really a small branch or a
small bud, is as likely to grow as Wig
orously and produce as well as large
one. A skillful gardener once grew
more than thousand pounds of pota-
toes from one tuber. He sprouted it
in hot-bed in the winter, pulled off
the sprouts and ported them as fast as
they grew and were renewed from the
eyes, and as the young plants became
large enough, they were made into
cuttings and these potted, and so on
until the season for planting potatoes
was over. Several hundred plants
were set out in all, and the product
was the largest ever grown from one
potato. IfpotatoeS can thus be grown,
and as matter of fact they can, why
cannot very small cutting, or even
the eye itself be planted and produce a
crop? If this, then, can be done, il
certainly seems waste of time t. dis,
pute about the kind of seed that is best
to be used for planting. But it is best
to be safe, and it is entirely safe tc
choose the very best and soundest o.
the medium.sized tubers for seed; keeI
them cool and dry, so that they vii
not be weakened by sprouting; and
then, when the time comes, plant then
in good soil, give them the cleanes
cultivation, and protect them from the
Colorado beetle. IN. Y. Times.

The Opium Eaters Disposition.

The opium eater is, with respect to
disposition, creature of the most
variable mood, his manner being mold
ed by the action of the drug In the
morning he is petulant and ill-temper-
ed, sometimes to brutality, while the
afternoon of the same day will find
him graciously considerable. Those
who have had experience with them
know that the most truthful people be-
come the most daring liars after long
indulgence in the use of opium. The
realities of life are so blended with the
distorted opium imaginings that the vic
tim cannot distinguish between facts
and fancy. So much is this the case
that those who hear them talk, igno-
rant of their habit, are positively
shocked at the glazing falsity of their
statements. They jealousy guard
their infirmity, and it would be next
to useless to question them concerning
their habit. Hugging his chains. the
rack would hardly draw from the vic
tim true Statement in respect to the
quantity of opium used by him if he
suspected an intention to interfere
with his allowance. Always with
them, too, is the dread that by some
unhappy combination of circumstances,
lack of money, involuntary con6ne-
ment, close surveillance. any or all of
these obstacles, they may find them
selves 50 situated as not to be able to
procure the drug. experience having
taught them the horrors of abstinence.

tatoes in the cellar Some potatoes
that were rotting and were picked out
of heap of 40 or so bushels were put
into a corner and well busted with air
slaked lime. They stopped rotting at
once, and the decayed parts are now
dried up. There is no disagreeable
smell about them. AS this rot has
several characteristics similar to those
of corn and wheat smut, it seems prob
able that stepping the seed of potatoes,

The "Ohio Man, in the Orient.

As we started up street from the no
tel, writes correspondent of the Globe
Democrat, we enjoyed the privilege of
seeing two Japanese gentlemen meet,
and were startled by hearing the one
man salute the other with "Ohio."
"Whatl' 1 gasped, ''can it indeed
be that the Ohio man is in the Orient? /
suppose he is waiting for the mikado
to die or abdicate." But | have discov-
cred the significance of the salutation
now. 1t is the equivalent of our good
morning" and should probably be
written "0haio," although pronounced
like the name of the Buckeye state.
Etymologically it signifies early morn
ing, and may. perhaps. be regarded as
japanese paraphrase of the familiar
Irish salutation: THE top Of the
morning to ye.'

Securing among Sheep.

We are in receipt of letters, says the
Teas Wool GroaCer, reporting securing
among sheep, and are asked to pre-
scribe remedy. If we were on the
ground, and could determine definitely
what caused the trouble, we might be
able to tell our correspondents how to
relieve their sheep, but, not knowing
the cause in the cases reported, we can
only prescribe at a venture. There are
prolific causes which result in scour-
ing, and acting upon the presumption
that one or the other is, in all proba-
bility, the real cause in these cases, we
will advise correspondents accordingly.
In the first place, the want Of salt very
frequently causes scours, and the rem
edy naturally is to give the sheep salt
at once. We have been trying for
months to impress on our readers the
necessity for supplying their sheep
regularly with salt. We have advised
that it be placed in convenient places
where the sheep can get at it at all
times, and we have repeatedly assured
wool growers that they need have no
fear of sheep eating more than they
really need if they are supplied in this
way. Sometimes too much salt is
eaten, and the result is the opposite of
scours-to wit, constipation. Salt is
in astringent, and if given in over
doses will bind up the bowels unnatu-
rally. But it is only when the sheep
have been denied salt too long that
they have an unnatural appetite for it
and are likely to eat too much. Again
we say, feed salt regularly to sheep,
and it will be eaten in proper quaint
ties; and being eaten in such quanti-
ties, it will go far toward regulating
the system of the sheep generally.

Do we approve of scraping trees?
asks friend of ours. Certainly we
do, provided they need it, and one can
rarely find an old tree that does not.
Aside from the fact that the removal
of the old bark scales breaks up a
refuge for various insects, including
the woolly-aphis, the increased beauty
of the tree repays the trouble. There
are scrapers made for the purpose; one
of these has triangular blade, another
long blade with one flat and another
slightly concave edge. An old hoe is
quite as good tool as any; cut off the
handle to about eighteen inches, and
do not grind the blade too sharp, as a
cutting implement is not needed-only
a scraper. On very old trunk some
force may be needed to detach the
scales that are partly loose. but on
young trees be careful not to wound
the healthy bark. The scraplng may
be done now, next month, or later.
When there comes a moist, drizzly
spell, go over the scraped bark with
good soft soap, made thin enough with
water to apply with brush. Paint
over thin coat of this soap and leave
the rest to the rains. Later in the
season the trees will appear as if fur
nished with mahogany trunks.-Amer-
lean Agiiculturist.
