New Varieties of Potatoes.

The New York Sun says that when a
new variety of potatoes is introduced to
public notice, the reports of experiments
In Its culture are always numerous, and
all point, SO far as productiveness is con-
cerned, to desirable end. If we ex-
anime these reports carefully we find.
rs rule, and with scarcely an excep-
ton, that whereas the amount of seed is
limited, the cultivator being DESTROYS of
mak1ng 1t go as far as possible, cuts it
INTO single eyes and puts one in place.
By so doing he avoids overseeding-a
thing to be guarded against in any crop.
and especially in potatoes. Ii in corn
too many stalks are found in hill they
can readily be pulled out, but not SO
with potatoes. When half a dozen
stalks start from one piece, one cannot
be pulled up without the others, and if
it be cut off it will do no good, as it will
readily start again. Too many stalks
weaken the growth, and consequently
the productlveness, and must be guard
ed against. The best way to do this is to
cut seed into small pieces, or into such
pieces as will give but few eyes to hill.
Some prefer to plant small potatoes
without cutting them. We do not ap-
prove this plan, not because we object
to small potatoes for seed, if they are
mature, but because the sprouts start
too near together and crowd each other
to the disadvantage of all. To produce
the best results, doubtless the best way
is to plant in drills, not more than two
eyes IN a place, and these places a foot
apart. We remember the objection 10
drill planting, but if the amount of crop
Is sufficient to more than repay the ex-
ira labor involved, the objection will be
overcome"

Elephant Fights i'm Burmah.
[From the New York Times.

ltrOm the New I1meS.1
The cable said yesterday that the
presence OF the Duke of Connaught
prince Arthur at an elephant fight
given by the Rai all of Bhurtpore, India,
would be made the subject of a question
in Parliment. G. B. GAYLORD, who
brought Barnum's sacred white elephant
to this country, said yesterday that he
saw fight at Prone, in Burmah and
another at Theyatmo, in British Bur-
nah.
"The one at Theyatmo was by ali odds
the best one," said he. "There were
fifteen elephants on side. A pair of
them are never started alone at fight,
The fights are always arranged for the
amusement of the mobiles, and are great
events. The battle is terrific. The ele-
plants are given toddy, made o1t of the
fermented Juice of the palm, which they
drink out of buckets. Jersey lightning
is like water compared to the stuff. |
drank some under the impression that
it was kind of cider. It smelled like
cider, Itook only one finger, and was
never SO drunk in my life. l never
would have felt the same amount of
whisky. 1t makes the elephants reel
ike drunken men.
They snort and trumpet and create
terrible racket. In the fight at The.
yatmo the mahouts or drivers straddled
their necks and urged them on. The
beasts had been maddened by prodding
and beating, and rushed at each other
like mad. There were some that wheeled
around and ran away, but those
that kept on made the earth shake when
they came together. They ran right
into each OTHER. They locked tusks, and
gered and lashed one another with their
trunks. Tusks were run into elephant
shoulders six or eight inches. The
fights in India are the same, of course.
In Burmah fights take place between
elephants and tigers. King Thebau
has men fight tigers. The Burmese in
power are cruel. One king used to
make the people lie down for his pony
to walk over"
Col. George Arstingstall, Barnum's
elephant trainer, said elephants were
fond Of whisky or any kind of
liquor. One would take four. or five
gallons at a dose.
