Last spring there was considerable trouble
caused by seed 30 atoes not sprouting. The
Late Rose was one against which this charge
was especially brought. The fact is that
potatoes run out, and new varieties must be
started every few years. There are symp-
tom, that even The favorite Early Rose is
beginning to run out in some localities For
these places the Early Ohio, Early Sunrise
and Lees Favorite are to be recommended
instead. They are all very early. Try
them if tn Early Rose fails with you.
1t would be good plan for our farmers
to experiment little with raising their own
new varieties of poato. They nave only to
plant the contents of one of the seed balls
found upon potato vine. 1t will produce
large number of tiny tubers. Select the
largest of these and plant them next year,
You can tell the second year of the tubers
what the result is going to be. You may
thus happen to produce very fine potato
The tubers are not at all apt TO b. like thos-
of the parent plant which makes the expert
ment more interesting. Try it Not much
time will be required and it will be some
thing the boys AMI girls will especially enjoy
doing

Raising Turkeys.

n the last year or two turkeys have been
more profitable than any other kind OF
poultr here is a great knack in rails
ing them. Sometimes the farm wife starts
Off with a tiae flock of forty to fifty in the
spring, but they bring up in the fall with
perhaps one so itary turkey for the family
Thanksgiving dinner. Then she vows in
disgust tn It she will try to raise no more
turkeys
Now. tLat is not tn, way. The right way
is to look back carefully over the career OF
the unfortunate fowls and find out whether
they or she m de the mistake In either
case she should remedy it and try again.
The best breed to raise is the bronze turkey,
of which we give picture. Mr.. Crozier
says, indeed, in How the Farm Pays" that
the bronze turkey is the only one worth
bothering with 1t Is a cross of the wild
turkey with the common domestic black
variety Sometimes the bronzes are so
large as 20 weigh over forty pounds.
The young ones are very delicate. Care
must be taken TO shelter them tendery in
cold an wet weather This is just what
their own mothers, the old bird, will not do.
A turkey has very liCtle sense. The wild
instincts of the species have not yet been
thoroughly educa I'd out of them. The hon
will hide her nest away in spite Of every
thing. un e IS viSiantly waite I'D She must
be followed up an sped upon until the nest
is diacovero,-

FRANCE is not so violent in her conduct
of public business as she was In the
earlier days of the republic. The pres
sure Of her unlimited responsibilities has
somewhat sobered her, and indications
are very strong of general reaction
among the people and their deputies in
favor of more conservative republic
anism than at first prevailed. In this
fact lies more hope for the future OF
France than in ought else. With a
stable conservative government she
would do more to make democratic ideas
prevalent throughout Europe than by
any other course she could possibly
adopt AS republic she has made
great progress in the art of self-gOvern-
ment since Freycinet took the helm, and
she is more respected in Europe, and
feared too, than at any time since the
dethronement of the "Nephew OF his
Uncle"

The Austin Statesman grows eloquent
in its denunciatIon of the game that the
independents of Travis county have
played upon the innocent and unsus-
pecting republicans of that county. The
Statesman very likely has his own demo-
cratic axe to grind in making this decla-
ration, but there is solid truth all the
same in the remark. "As to principle,
that weighed not scruple in the bal
lance, for, whoever heard of an indie
pendent having any political principle
outside of his intended ambition" Of
this fact the republicans of other coun-
ties may take due notice and govern
themselves accordingly.

TIE GALVESTON News is wading knee
deep into the question made pertinent
by the late democratic oOnvention-Can
a democrat be prohibitionist? The i'm
mediate enquiry of the News is as to the
position assumed on this question by
Hon. ROg. Q. Mills, that great apostle of
Texas democracy and anti-prohibition.
The News quotes former speeches of the
Hon. Roger, in extenso, to show that he
did not deem the principle Of prohibit
ton consistent with pure, unadulterated,
Jeffersonian democracy, and yet one
short week since this arch apostle of an
til prohibition Jefiersonian democracy
said in public speech at Groesbeok-
"a man could be prohibitionist and a
democrat. 1t was quarrel in the fam
ily." The simple fact is that the law OF
political expediency sanctifles all
changes in democratic Ideas, and justi-
fies all reyersion OF opinions. OF this
fact the News is itself no mean example.
