Weak Seed I'm Dry weather.

The field cultivation of the potato on
lands naturally adapted to its growth, the
constantly increasing demand for it. its
profit, enc year with another. as compared
With other products, the ease of culture
and digging. where q seasonable, persis-
tent and intelligent use of the improved
modern implements adapted to this work,
are made use of, thus leaving compare
lively little hand labor, is turning atten-
ton of many farmers to this crop, even
where wheat, corn and other staples have
been profitablv raised. Still, there are
unsolved problems in connection with po-
tatO culture, darkness concerning which
initiates against the best success Why.
for instance, are there manv blighted and
sickly hills among others promising album
dant yield? Right to the point bearing
on this question come the views of Prot.
Sanhorn, recently summarized and inter-
estingly commented on by the Tribune.
What is thus said confirms the opinion |
had formed as to the cause of partial fail
ure of my own crop the past season.
Satisfactory results of 1888 encouraged
me in the belief that the secret of profita-
BILE potato growing had at last been dis
covered. namely. in using for seed only
large tubers, the product OF strong vigo-
rous and healthy vines, cut in pieces aver
aging two and three eyes each. planted
one piece in hill. on well prepared soil,
in good state of cultivation, and proper
ly cared for. But this seasons results
prove that failure sometimes occurs where
conditions are seemingly the same as had
previously given good success. Taking
tor granted that planted in dry time the
seed being covered with hot. dry and
dusty earth, and remaining in that condi-
ton several days, has the effect OF destroy
ing to a certain extent the vitality of the
seed. thus accounting for the week and
sickly hills, and the entire loss of others.
may we not learn that during protracted
hot and dry weather at planting time. whole
potatoes or at least large pieces and more
eyes, should be less liable to injury than
smaller pieces as referred to above; or
should not the planting be deferred to a
season of moisture and cooler weather p

MIX for Babes.

To be perfect food for infants, milk
must be of the very best quality This
81 statement is not meant to convey the i'm
preston that it must be very rich in cream,
or any one of its other parts but that it
should be in as sweet, pure. perfect con-
ditiOn as possible. Cows milk, as it
averages when the milk of several cows
is mixed together. is rich enough in fats
and other constituents. and often needs
diluting. An excess of cream impairs
rather than improves it for this class of
consumers. An excess would be about as
Objectionable as deficiency. 1t is impor-
tant that it should come from a cow in
good health, and fed on sweet and whole
some food; for the quality and whole
someness of milk will vary with the char
acter of the food from which it is made.
To produce the best milk for infants,
the animals giving it should neither Be
over fed nor under-fed. One extreme
would be as unfortunate as the other.
Milk becomes vitiated when its secretion
is over stimulated. In part. at least milk
is derived from decomposition of tissue
and when this goes on actively, fragments
of tissue break away without being per-
fectly dissolved, and may be seen sus-
pended in the milk. The fragments that
are small enough to pass through an
ordinary strainer, remain in the milk, and
by their rapid decomposition affect its
flavor and quality.
For Infants use, milk from cows giving
rather moderate quantity is to be pre-
ferred to that from cows producing un-
usually large yields. When milk becomes
irregular from extremes in feeding. it is
greatly improved by filtering it through a
sack of pulverized charcoal. Filtering it
through filter paper will help it very
much, but charcoal is better The filter
will catch all the Objectionable solids. and
the absorbent capacity of the charcoal will
take up all the prominent odors, and the
milk will come out with decidedly new
and delicious flavor. and much improved
in sanitary point of view. One who has
not tried it. will be surprised at the guam
tity of offensive matter that will soon col
lect in the charcoal. Professor L. B.

TAUNTON, MASS.
Dr. Dorid Kennedy, Rondout, N. Y:
DEAR SIR: am an engineer on the Old Colony
Railroad, and the Fall River boat train between
Fall River and Lowell, residing in Taunton. For
ten years suffered everything but death from dys
pepsa Often had such binding sick headaches
that could scarcely sec. think this was due partly
to irregular habits Of eating, and partly to the jar of
the engine. Sometimes my head would snap like
neura gia, and again the pan would settle in my
eyes, which would feel As big : a mans fists. My
bfea' h was very offensive, and my food soured as
soon as il entered my stomach Ia fact my stomach
felt as though it were great raw and sore surface,
and what agony it gave perhaps you can imagine.
In the summer and fall of ls76, vi hen had the
heavy centennial travel the constant jar brought or
acute attacks n arly every week and ! thought
should have to leave the road. But kept at work
until the next spring, when grew so much worse
that could virtually eat MOI hing, and concluded that
my labor, and my life too, were about over.
Remember that had tried every medicine heard
of. and had been treated by some of the best phi 81

every ache, pain and discomfort completely out of
my body Now | keep kENNEDY'S FAVORITE

why, believe FAvORITE REMEDY will cure
anything. One night, while ago, John Layton, an
engineer who runs the main line boat train from
Boston, came on my engine sick death. He was
worn ont with work, had high fever, and was so
nervous he almost broke down crying. Nonsense,

Advice to Smokers.
New York Snn.l

The deadly illness of Gen. Grant is as
cribed to cancer, and il is said that TIE can
cerous growth was caused by excessive smok-
ing. The distinguished character of the
patient has made the case conspicuous,
and many veteran smokers have already dis
carded the use of tobacco.
We believe that the poison of cancer is
distinct from the poison of nicotine. There
are, however, few simple rules commend
ing themselves TO every ph, sician which
will tend to make the use Of the weed less
injurious. and which il is we'll to inculcate
al this particular time.
In the first place, smoke light-colosed
cigars. They are less strong than the dark
er shades. Select the boxes marked Claro
and Colorado Claro, and avoid those marked
Maduro OF even Colorado Maduro.
Secondly. never smoke on an empty stom-
ach. Smoke after luncheon. or after dinner
or supper, but do not smoke long after YOU
have taken food. or early in the morning.
\ light cigar after hearty meal frequently
aids digestion, but if one smokes Just before
eating, the appetite will BE- les>ened and
food will lose its relish.
Thirdly do not smoke the whole of the
cigar. Sacrifice a fourth or fifth. because in
the stump the poisonous oil or nicotine of
tobacco becomes concentrated. Fourthy.
do not smoke more than three or four cigars
day. And in the last place, after smoking
cleanse the teeth, and thus avoid their dis
coloraton and impregnation with the fumes
Of the tobacco. A moderate aud careful use
of tobacco does not harm the teeth hut
when excessive it causes the gums 10 recele,
I and covers the teeth themselves with the
blackening oil of the leaf
These rules are few and simple, hut if toi-
lowed they cannot fail to be of lasting bene-
hi TO every smoker.

An amusing anecdote is related at the ex-
pense of a Port Huron gentleman, who no
doubt will always remember the mistake.
He went to the depot of the Port Huron
and Northwestern railway few days ago to
put his favorite daughter on the train and
say good -bye." Securing a seat, he ex-
cused himself and stepped into Henry
Clne's restaurant, and then returned TO the
window in the coach " here he had left his
daughter. Daring his absence the daagh-
ter left the seat to speak to friend, and at
the same time prim old maid entered the
car and took her place, and at the same
time opened the window. Unaware of the
great change that had been made in the car,
the father put his face up to the window and
said, ''One more kiss, my pet" In another
instant the point Of a cotton umbrella was
thrust out OF the window, followed by the
passionate lnterection, "Scat, YOU gray
