This subject was discussed by c.. Ii.
Butler before the Farmers institute, and
was reported i'll the .nicb;g0a Ftsmey Us
kllows: The speaker claimed that the
three requisites for success in potato cul-
t9re1to be good land, good seed and good
caltNation. The best qualify of land is
'}ieavy, sandy loan, inclined to clay,
and having a stiff sod. This should be
nloNel seven or eight inches deep and
Worked into a fine, mellow condition at
least four inches in depth. Potatoes
should be of medium size and cut to one
eye pieces, planted three feet apart each
way and one eye to the hill.
Work potatoes once q week with a
horse and cut out weeds. and manipu ate
the hills little with ii hoe. 4 large
crop of weeds will assure a small crop
OF potatoes.
Mr. Butler plants one eve to the hill in
order to secure large sized, uniform pota-
toes. He has had experience in planting
whole potatoes and different amounts of
seed, but has dec ded that one eve to the
hill was best where the cultivation and
SOIL were good. lie often gets three stalks
to the hill from onc-eye cuttings. lie
usually throws away the seed end of the
potato. 10 plant in the usual manner
takes four and one half bushels, while two
bushels was sufficient under his me hod of
cutting. He gets crop of 1?5 bushels
to the acre, plants at the time for D ant
ing corn, and pays no attention to the
phases of the moon at the time of plant
ing. He places his manure on the top
because a drought is always to be feared
before the crop is made, and he prefers
to have the manure on top to act as a
mulch rather than at the bottom to in
crease the measure of dryness.
Potatoes are no more likely to grow
large and rough when planted in this
way than in any other. He docs not hill
his potatoes. but endeavors to have the
ground as level as possible rs to va
rletles, he has settled down on Late
Rose and Beauty of Hebron.
As to scab, he could give no cure OF
cause for such a condition lie had
soWed salt broadcast and had grown the
scab5y potatoes in his experience. 1t had
been suggested that it was caused by ;
minute worm like wire worm, but upor
examination of several specimens Of DIS
eased tubers with a strong glass. he ha(
Jailed to find the worm or other living or

work of insects or WORDS. He though

The most important step i'll this
process is the restoration OF the func-
tions of digestion and assimilation to
full and uninterrupted exercise, since
it is upon their activity alone that the
system can depend to replenish its
dwindling store OF energy. Among
tOnics which the voice of the people
and the high professional endorsement
approve as reliable, Hestetter's
Stomach Bitters has long heen recog-
nized as the best. Its properties as a
medicated stimulent commend it to
all persons suffering from the effects
of fatigue. mental or bodily, as an inn
mediate means of counteracting their
effects; and in cases where loss of
vigor is attributable to such weaken
ing chronic causes as dyspepsia, al
fections of the kidneys and bladder,
and the infirmities peculiar to age, it
produces permanently beneficial re
suits. Those twin obstacles To health
and vigor, liver complaint and consti-
patton, are also removed by it. 1t
also prevents and cures malarial
disease. n9-lw

have the supervision of the police reg
uiations on the reservation, under the
direction and with the approval of the
Indian agent. With this action of
the interior department officials at
Washington, it is not to he wondered
at that the dangers of divided control
and want of cooperation should be-
come manifest. In December, 1884,
Agent Wilcox was relieved and Mr..
Ford appointed in his place. The
now agent worked in harmony, but
by the middle of January he took an
other course" General Crook re-
ported the matter, and asked that his
administration be sustained or that he
be- relieved OF responsibility. He was
instructed, pending conferences be-
tween the two departments at Wasl-
ing ton, not to interfere with the farm
ing operations of the Indians, who are
not considered as prisoners, and in
formed that the question Of relieving
him must, in the public interest be
held in Obeyance for the present.
Thereupon General Crook wrote the
aijutant general a letter, the cOnclud-
ing paragraphs OF which are as fol-
lows:

been Withdrawn from me, i must re-
spectfully decline to be any longer
