GUT POTATOES.
Large Crops from Thin Cut Sets and IRON
Large Cuttings.

Large Crops from Thin Cut Sets and iron,
Large Cuttings.
When the Early Rose was first
brought out planted pounds. which
cost S5. They were cut to single eyes
and each placed 8 feet apart, making
AZ hills. and the produce was 33l
pounds or 81 bushels; at the rate of $50
bushels per acre in round numbers.
The next year planted a quarter of
an acre, using about half the previous
crop, cut to single eyes and two sets
in a hill. The 1900 hills gave 125
bushels, not counting few bushels
dug early in July. One acre of Hari-
sons the same year planted in the same
manner gave me 660 measured and
counted bushels. The next spring
every Early Rose used in the house
was peeled thickly and the eyes kept
for planting, These thin sets gave
fully as large yield as those bulky
ones cut from the large tubers. have
planted similarly cut sets in boxes in
the greenhouse for transplanting later
into the garden, and the yield was as
good as that of the ordinary crop from
large cuttings.
The largest yields of potatoes ever
grown were produced from rooted cut
tings of the stem of the young plant
which had no portion of the tuber to
drew nutrment from. Last year took
from six to eight sprouts from each
bud of sweet potato and these planted
out in the field grew vigorously and
yielded over 800 bushels per acre, some
of the tubers weighing eight pounds
and the average of the crop being four
and three,quarter pounds. Sweet po-
! tatoes are all grown in this way; the
sprouts being pulled from the seed and
this is left to throw out more sprouts.
Is 1t reasonable that the common potato
differs wholly from every other plant of
similar growth? And are we now 10
cast aside the results of thirty years
practice and experience for new way
which is opposed to all this gathered
knowledgep
DInever found soil too rich for potatoes.
/ raised a crop equal TO l,200 bushels
per acre on an old barnyard; the vines
covered the ground in n mat more than
knee deep, and the majority Of the hills
turned out II quarts. Last season
saw over 700 bushels of Peerless per
acre turned out from 3-acro plot.
Both OF these crops were from cuttings
of two eyes each and three sets in n
hill, which has been rs long as | can
remember the common way of plant
ing. 1t is not the cutting of the seed
which makes the present small yield
but the loss Of fertility; the big yields
are always upon rich soil. Potato
varieties 'run OUT only by reason OF o
continued course Of poor culture and
taking seed from crops grown on poor
soil. Two years ago had 450 bushels
per acre of Early Rose. which was very
nearly equal to my first crop grown on
better soil.-Kart 0gei, IN NJ y

A HAPPY MORTAL.
The Luxurious Couch Made for Lazy
but Rich, Parisinn.


a Partisan millionaire, nj. Lang, has
recently had made for him wonderful
bed, which is certainly one of the most
luxurious pieces of furniture we have
yet heard of. II it only could become
universal, what boon it would bc to
carly risersl The description makes
one envy the fortunate possessor. Tho
bed itself Is model of comfort and the
following devices have been adopted to
render rising from it rs little unpleas-
ant ms possible. When it is time 10 get
up chime of bells rings. The ocou-
pant continues to sleep. Suddenly a
candle is lit by clever mechanical
arrangement. Tho sleeper rubs his
eyes and an invisible hand proceeds to
divest him of his night-cap. BY means
of electricity spirit-lamp with coffee
roasting apparatus affixed next begins
to burn. The water soon boils and the
smell of coffee fills the room with de-
licious fragrance. Luxuriously revel-
ing in crowd of agreeable sensations,
the occupant, now just beginning to
awake, is soothed by sounds proceeding
from costly musical box. At length
the bells ring out another merry peal,
and at the foot of the bed card with
"Levezvous" (gct up) inscribed on it
appears. If this invitation is without
effect, powerful mechanism lifts the
occupant up bodily from his bed and
deposits him on the floor. Pail Mall

WILLOW CULTURE.

Interesting Information Concerning This
ProftHble Industry.
The willow is not difficult of cultiva-
ton, requiring moist, but not very wet
land. An impression prevails that wet
land is the only kind available, but this
is an error, AS wet land is unsuitable.
The rich alluvial bottoms produce the
best results, sometimes doubling and
even trebling the product every year. 1t
is usually propagated by cuttings, in the
autumn. After the ground is prepared,
the rows should be made four or five
feet apart, and the cuttings placed about
fifteen inches apart in the rows. The
cuttings are generally from twelve to
fifteen inches long, and should stand
three or four inches out of the ground.
1t must be cultivated the first year, and
the ground kept mellow and clear of
weeds; but after good stand gets pos
session, no further labor is required for
the cultivation.
The shoots are cut annually, at any
tina between the fall of the leaf and
the rising of the sap, stacked and pro-
tected from rain; and care must be
taken that they do not heat. Those in
tended for white baskets can not be
peeled at once, but, after sorting, are
placed upright in wide, shallow tanks,
with about four inches of water and so
remain until spring. After peeling they
are bundled for market.
There are many varieties of willow,
but the Osier is the best, and of these
here are thirty or forty recognized
species. In England there are ak lead
ing species in cultivation. The Saiir
For5yana, or "Fine Basket" Saiir
ruJra. or .'green-leayed;" the SaliD
trianda, OF Spanish rod" the Salir
Vitteliaa, or "Golden Osier;" the Saiir
pivinlaiis, or "white willow" and Sati1
aniygdalina, or "almond willow" The
latter is said to be the most pliable, and
the golden yellow Is remarkable for its
pliancy and toughness.
A fair crop is one and q half tons per
acre, although rich land will produce
more. The stripped material, ready
for use, II good quality, will sell readily
at one hundred dollars per ton, ii ex-
ceptionsly good win bring more. Par

A Corn Huskin & Match.

A South Lebanon special of Monday
to the Columbus Dispatch says that a
corn-husking match came off in Uuion
township that created much sport for
the farmers, and is worthy of record.
Frank Bowyer asserted that he could
husk and crib seventy bushels of corn
between sunrise and sunset any day.
His neighbor, Daniel Murphey, doubt
ed it, and wager of fifty dollars was
made and the money was put up in the
hands of Andrew Dill. Saturday MORN
ing Bowyer sailed in with two teams
and enough spectators to have husked
all the corn in the township. Plans of
operations had been agreed on so that
Bowyer would not lose time with the
weighing, and to this end he had the
use of two wagons, When one wagon
was flied he would drive to the crib,
and other parties would take it to the
scales and weigh while Bowyer kept on
husking. About four o'clock in the
afternoon he had husked' aud cribbed
about eighty-two bushels of corn,
seventy-tWo pounds to the bushel, so
he quit, drew his money and ended the
frolic.

1t is found that walls laid up of good,
hard-burned bricks, in mortar COM
posed of good lime and sharp sand,
will resist a pressure of I,500 pounds
per square foot, at which figures it
would require 1,600 feet height of r.
inch wall to crush the bottom courses,
allowing 435 pounds as the weight of
each cubic foot. 1t also appears from
accurate calculations and measure
ments that walls laid up in the same
quality of brick and mortar, with QUE
third quantity of Portland cement adj
ded to the same, are capable of resist
ing some $500 pounds per square inch,
or 100000 pounds per square foot; this
would require height of wall 2,700
feet to crush the bottom bricks.

Free Trade,

The reduction of internal revenue and the
taking off of revenue stamps from Proprie-
tary Medicines, no doubt has largely benefit
ted the consumers, as well as relieving the
burden of home manufacturers. Especially
is this the case with Green's August Flower
and Boschee's German Syrup, as the reduc-
ton of thirty-six cents per dozen, has been
added to increase the size of the bottles con-
tanning these remedies, thereby giving one.
fifth more medicine in the rs cent size. The
August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint, and the German Syrup for Cough
and Lung troubles, have perhaps, the largest
sale of any medicines in the world. The
advantage of increased size of the bottles will
be greatly appreciated by the sick and affiict-
ed, in every town and village in civilized
countries. Sample bottles for 10 cents re-
main the same size. 1yr dec2

Unknown Islands in the Pacific.

The fact that two islands of consider
able size have recently been discovered
in the Pacific Ocean shows that we have
vet much to learn of this great waterv
eXpanse. The latest discovery is an
island lying less than one hundred
miles from the northern coast of New
Guinea. 1t has been named Allison
Island. it is nearly three miles long,
rises from 100 to $50 feet above the sea,
and has abundant timber. Several
specks of fertile and inhabited land,
some of them much larger than Allison
Island, have been found within q few
years at a distance of one hundred to
two hundred miles from the New
Guinea coast, and similar discoveries
are made once in u while in various
parts of the Pacific.
Oceanica is SO large that no map of it
can be given in an atlas except on O
minute scale. We see hundreds of
groups and solitary islands huddled to-
gether on the maps, and get the idea
that the Pacitici is thiekly studded with
vetdant bits of land. TIE fact is, how
ever, that vessels may sail among these
islands for many weeks without once
coming in sight of land. Only few
months ago crew that had been ship
wrecked in the great island region of
the Pacific, rowed north for forty days
before they reached Hawaii, the nearest
land. Mr.. A, r. Wallace, who has
travelled widely liz the Pacific, expressed
the opinion some time ago that there
are still good many islands there that
have never yet been seen by white
men.
Once in u while Pacific trader finds
some new or little known island, and
opens trade with its inhabitants. II

long as he can, so as to enjoy o nlonopo-
