potatoes from Seed.

We have mentioned that it would be an in
teresting experiment for the farm boys and
girls TO save some of the seed in potato ball,
when they ripen in the fall, and plant them,
and see the kinds of potato that will be pro
duced These will be different from the
parent potatoes, and different from each
other as well.
The seed should be sown in boxes in the
the window, or under glass The best way is
to put them in flower pots, scattering them
lightly and thinly upon rich soil. Sprinkle
finely pulverlzed earth upon them till they
are covered san eighth of an inch deep. The
seeds are so light and fine that watering the
earth in the ordinary way will wash the COW
ering off them The best way, therefore, to
water them is to plunge the pot in which they
are planted into vessel filled with water till
it comes nearly to the top of the pot. Water
will thus soak through the porous earthen-
ware to moisten the soil When the earth in
the pot becomes damp the seeds have had a
sufficient drink. This is to be done when they
are first planted. Cover each pot with a
piece of glass, set it in the window, and leave
it until the seeds sprout. Then raise the glass
gradually, the first day little, the next a
little more, and then take it off altogether.
The plants are the smallest things at first
But as they become stronger and the danger
of frost is gone, set them out in warm,
finely powdered, rich soil. .t

Sunken Flower Beds.

In small villa gardens, where any variety
in the common arrangement is acceptable, a
little circular flower bed sunk in concave
form to the tiniest possible central pool, in
stead Of being raised in the usual convex
mound, has very good effect For the little
pool If nothing better offers small tub, or
piece sawn Off the end of an old cask, and
well sunk in the ground, answers excellently-
of any size that may be liked-a couple Of
feet across, and about ten inches or foot in
depth, is convenient measurement
With little care the plants, and any pic
turesque rock like pieces of stone, or burr,
may be arranged around this, so as to give the
appearance of natural cistern; the small
quantity of water is useful as being always
at hand, warmed, and aired for special needs;
whilst the constant employing and reilling,
easily managed by few buckets of water,
keeps the tiny pool in order.
The slightly sunk position, with its moist
air and protection from drying draughts over
the roots appears to suit many plants per
fectly, and gives a picturesque bit Of
natural grouping of water, rock and varied
LEAKAGE, which is always attractive in itself,
and with care it is always except in the dead
OF winter) bright with some flowers.
Crocuses and hyacinths of different kinds
first with flowers and then with foliage, lool
well among the stones; irises, double caltha
Ia most effective and permanent plant, hardy
ranunculi, low damask rose bushes, campan-
llas, sweet williams, and endless old favorites,
according to taste, succeed in date of flower
ing; and their LEAKAGE, bending over the pool,
Or standing up in rich luxuriance, is always
ornamental.
As the brown tint of the whitening leaves
of the bulbs is not an eyesore amongst the
few morsels of rock, they may be allowed to
pass quietly away, and any bright temporary
flower planted by the side re-enlivens the
spot But however it may be arranged, the
little sunk bed is usually favorite spot with
visitors and great convenience to its anna
teur owners. London Gardeners Chronicle

PLEASURE STEAM YACHT.

They can serve for business as well as
pleasure. The cost of building small one is
$1,000, or even less. That, shared among we'll
TODD neighbors, would not be a burden
For picnics, for attending meetings and en-
tertainments for which railway hours are
not convenient, for boating excursions Of all
kinds the small yachts would come in most
convenient and. pleasant. They can run
when sailboats are becalrned.
Some of these yachts are no more than
twenty-five feet long. They range from that
to sixty feet, and from eight to twelve feet
wide They are so simply guided and pro-
PEELED that boys and girls learn to manage
the engine and rudder, and find it great
fun. In a recent story by Charles Bar
nard he makes his heroine, in pinch, guide
the engine of q steam launch, thus taking
home belated pleasure party, whose respect
for her rose in proportion.
There are many small yachts about New
York and it's vicinity. They look like baby
steamboats,

Here in the picture you see something only
revealed to man in the last five years, though
it has been seen every day since the world
began. Notice how the horse elongates him
self for the jump He stretches out fore and
aft till he looks more the shape of cat or a
squirrel than of horse. He is a runner, and
is jumping a hurdle with his jockey upon his
back. An artist who would have painted a
horse in the act of jumping and would have
ventured to extend his length as much as
that would have been considered as making
sketch untrue to nature, caricature. Yet
here is the fact, shown by photography,
which lies good deal, it is true, but not in
situations like the present one.

POTATOES FROM A SEED BALL

The tiny potato plants must be cultivated
Just as ordinary ones are BY the fall Of the
first year, when digging time comes, the
tubers will look much rs they do in the pic
ture. Gather them carefully, keep them
over, and the second spring plant them Just
as you would ordinary potatoes. You may
originate a new variety Of potato that will
prove valuable to you. All new potatoes are
thus raised
The little plants should be thinned out in
the pots If there Is danger Of their crowding
one another When you set them into the
ground plant them one foot apart, rows three
feet apart. You must watch them at first,
and water them if they seem too dry. But
never water a plant while the sun is shin
ing upon it. Do that in the morning or even
ing. A
If you have no potato ball seed, cut this out
and paste it in your scrap book where you
win not forget it. and save some potato seed
in the fall, ready to begin on next spring.

There are no longer any new lands for cat
tie ranges in the west. Ranchmen must now
go to South America, to Alaska and to the
islands along the Pacific coast.
The demand for young men to take charge
of creameries at the south is SO great that the
Mississippi agricultural college is forming a
class for special instruction in this industry
To kill lice on cattle one good way is to
wash the animals in tobacco water Boiling
water poured over any kind of tobacco, or
over tobacco stems, win make the fluid. To
kill their eggs and all apply twice.
An Ohio farmer has brutally disgraced the
whole profession. He had 500 sheep when
winter set in, and plenty of grain and fodder,
but the other day an agent of the Humane
society found seventy-one Of the sheep dead,
forty being piled in the Basement OF one barn
and twenty-three in another, and scattered
about the place, They had all starved to
death.

Farm Animals in the United States.

The last United States agricultural report
contains list of the farm animals of the
country.
The interest in horse breeding is increasing,
and small number of horses begins to be
shipped abroad. Norman, Percheron, Clydes-
dale and the English Shire or cart horse are
the breeds most imported. The report says
there is little need of new blood in thorough
bred or racing stock. The number of horses
in the country in spite of the march of
steam, electrical and other new motors, has
increased by over 100000. Cows have in
creased 330, 666 over last year The increase
in other cattle is still larger The sheep in
dustry has suffered greatly, and is now pass
ing through period of deep depression.
Sheep have decreased 1000, 900. Swine have
increased nearly 100000. All farm ami.
mails, except sheep, have increased IN mum,
Der. tft ~ . rs~ g.
All farm animals have decreased in value
The decline has been going on three year1
Horses and mules have gone down per
cent, cattle 6per cent, sheep II per cent
hogs Is per cent, In two years, although all
farm animals, except sheep, have increased
in number, their aggregate value has gone
down over $1OO,OOO,OOO. Still, it is to be
remembered that the real value, the animals
themselves, with their meat, hides, bone and
muscle are all there, just as much as they
ever were, and their services to man go just
as far as if their money price was twice as
nigh.

Small Steam Yachts.

Wealthy persons and those in moderate
circumstances are taking to yacht building
extensively. There is no reason why those
on the borders Of lakes, rivers and quiet bays
should not have their own boats, as well ai
their own horses and carriage Neighbofs
of moderate means might cooperate ard
build one together

WEDNESDAY
THE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislative Assembly disposed Of
a fair measure OF business yesterday.
Several bills We're advanced a stage, and
one bill passed. The bill to change the
law regulating the measurement of yes
sells at the Custom House was taken up
on motion of His ExcelIency Mr. Creigh-
ton, and read a second time by title 1t
was referred to the Committee on Com
merce, with instructions to report to
the House tomorrow Thursday
We trust there will be no de-
lay in this matter, and that
the bill will be put upon its final passage
as soon as possible. This bill affects all
the shipping interests of the Kingdom,
interisland and coasting, as we'll as ocean
going, and will result in a very consider
able saving in the annual charges upon
Hawaiian vessels. From the interest
expressed in the bill by Mr.. Dole and
other members, we apprehend no IN
necessary delay in its future progress
through the Legislature. The bill
amending the law encouraging the con-
with the coast of North America was
read third time and passed, on motion
by His Excellency Mr. Creighton.
A bill providing for the organization
of a Tax Board of Equalization was
taken up out of its order and read a sec
Ond time, on motion by Mr. George
Richardson, who introduced it. Mr.
Richardson has had considerable ex-
perience as an Assessor, and he has
drafted bill which should effect the
purpose contemplated. 1t is essential
that as far as possible the burden of tax
alton should fall equally upon all. That
this is not the case now is generally adj
mitted. If this bill becomes law it will
go far toward correcting the mistakes
now generally attributed to the mex
perience of Tax Assessors.
Considerable progress was made with
the Tax bill, and there is now proba-
bility of its passing, although in greatly
impaired condition.

Ocean Race.

The schooner yachts Kauikeaoui and
Moi Wahine, belonging to Messrs. Allen
& Robinson, sailed together at about
half past four o'clock yesterday after
noon for Hamakua, Hawaii. The Kaui-
keaouli had the start of the Moi Wahine
by nearly ten minutes. Both vessels
were in fine trim. As the vessels passed
the steamer Iwalani's wharf, they were
loudly cheered by the crowd assembled.
A stiff trade wind was blowing at the
time, which set the vessels at about a
ten knot speed. At six o'clock last eve
ming both vessels passed off Diamond
Head, the Moi Wahine having gained
until she was very close to the Kaui-
keaouli.

Another Burglary.

/ The house OF Mr.. Dan Logan. of the
/ Bulletin" adjoining the Reformatory
School, was burglarized yesterday be-
tween 10 o'clock in the morning and )
O'Clock in the afternoon. Mrs. Logan
left the house closed up shortly before
10 O'Clock in the morning and spent the
day with relatives When she returned
at quarter before o'clock in the after
noon she found the house ransacked and
a lot of mems clothing, a silver watch
and other trinkets missing. Search was
Immediately instituted and it was dis
covered that some party or parties had
effected an entrance through back
window, which had been lowered at the
top before Mrs. Logan left the house.
One of the doors had then been opened
from the inside and the stolen articles
had been taken out by it. The burglars
were evidently searching for mems
clothing and other valuable articles, as
quantities of feminine wearing apparel
were scattered through the house and in
the yard, although none OF it was miss
ing. Among the clothing taken was
new suit OF clothes belonging to Mr.. Lo-
gan. The plumber was evidently taken
over the fence between the house and
the Reformatory School, but none of the
things stolen have thus far been found.
The matter is to receive further investi
CATION. The value OF the property stolen
is about SIS.
