The lIusbandman says: "There
is point to be noted in garden cul-
ture of potatoes-a point that may
be quite new to many persons who
have raised potatoes extensively.
1t is that digging the tubers from
the sides of hills when they are but
half matured will not impede the
growth of those that are left; in fact,
there is some reason to believe that
growth is stimulated. 1t is not pro.
fitable to dig out whole hills when
getting early potatoes from the
garden, because the yield will be SO
light as to give very small return
for care employed in raising. A
little earth can be removed frem
each side of the hill, and tubers of
edible size can be removed without
further disturbance to the hill, and
those that are left will grow so
much larger because of increased
support that the yield will be near
ly or quite az great as If the earlier
ones were not removed"

Does II Pay to Raise Corn.

The above question is oftened
asked among farmers, since farm
help is so scarce and labor so high.
No one has any right to answer the
above question unless he has some
facts to Judge from. The farmer
who keeps a strict account of all
the expenses and all the income is
the man for me TO listen to for i'll
formation. Now, Mr.. Editor, wish
to give a few facts of my own corn
raising last year. The piece Of
ground contained three and one
quarter acres. Potatoes were plant
ed all around the piece, leaving
three acres to corn

Changes for the Better.

There is a boom in two branches
of farming in New Hampshire tins
spring, dairying and poultry keep
ing. The three or four creamellt>
that were in operation last year
have been qudrupled ana scores oi
men who were brought up to DIES
pise chickens as very small Try, nh'
worthy the attention oil an aplc-
bodied farmer. are building large
henncries and preparing TO give !
large share of their time 10
their management. AS II ioohS
now, this State will come very
much nearer supplying the nome
demand for butter and eggs THIS
year than it has done before since
the war. There are AT least Two
very gratifying facts embodied III
this change from general farming
the growing OF oats, hay, potatoes
and other vegetables for sale, to go
operative dairyng and poultry keep
ing. 1t will save work and iertlllIe
the farms. In these days the qneS-
ton of successful farming Is large
* one of saving labor. The NeSt
beats us almost TO death because IL
rultiyateS six or eight acres with
the same labor we employ on one,
and our farms have been growing
poorer very largely because the
crops that have been grown upon
them have been sold in raw state
and all the elements that have been
reaIlired to produce them have been
carried oil to the cities and never
replaced This is notably the caSt
with POTATOES, which have been one
of the favorite and profitable crops
New Hampshire. but which sap the
ground like weeds. The best part
OF a great many of the hest farms
in New England has been carret
off in potato sacks and passe'
eventually through sewers into th'
sea.
But dairy may be relied upol
to improve any farm. Any MAJ
who keeps a dozen COWS and feeu
them so as to make them pay i
sure to have very large manure
heap and one very rich III plan
food. If he keeps them shcltere'
and bedded as they should be, II
barns where the liquid as well ii
the solid manurcs are saved, thel
droppings will restore to his lan'
more fertility than the fodder the
eat takes from it. Larger dalrle
mean more corn and more gras
and steady Improvement of TN
soil that has been skinned by pota
toes and oats. So, too, OF poultry
whose droppings, if carefully save'
and intelligently applied to the son
will restore all and more than thel
food takes from 1t.

The Farmers Wife.

| have Just read the trials OF a
farmers wife. Truly a farmers
wife has many trials when they
own large farms and board their
help. Thirty seven years OF marIied
life on "A farm has taught me many
Lessons: one is that if "A farmer con
suits his family's interests or his
own either, he will never board
help that he hires by the month.
Hire married men, build a tenement
house, give them garden spot,
make it a home for them, and they
will work nearly as cheap as one
that has to board in the home OF the
employer. | think no maj. with a
family should hire anything that
comes along, for every person has
an influence for good or bad, and

APuhlic Renefacoin.

How to laundry linen as it is done in
Troy, N. Y. has been kept secret long
enough; it can and should be done en- ev-
cry family. The ELASTIC STARCH is
the only starch in the United States that
is put up by men who have practical
of the laundry profession. 1t
requires no cooking, keeps the iron from
sticking and linen from blistering while
ironing, and gives shirts, cuffs and col

they have when new, which, everybody
knows keeps them clean twice as long.

The Rev. Mahlon N. Gilbert, recently
| elected Assistant Bishop of Minnesota,
was, soon after receiving orders, engaged in
missionary labors in Montana, and subse
quently rector OF the parish in Helena,
| where he remained until 1881, when he left
to become rector of Christ Church, in St
Paul, from which he was called to be co
adjutor to Bishop Whipple. Mr.. Gilbert
although a comparatively young man, il
| believed to be endowed with qualifications
fitting him for the high and responsible po'
sition in the church which he has attained,
He is regarded as one OF the most brilliant
and eloquent preachers in the church. and
is also an energetic and thoroughly earnest
worker. He was born in Otsego county,
New York, and is 80 years OF age. During
his early years his parents removed to
Orange, New York, where for a time he had
for his rector the Rev. DIR. Tuttle, now
Bishop OF Utah. Mr.. Gilbert was matricu.
lated at Hobart College in the class OF
1870. and after finishing his course there
became a student Of theology at the Sea-
bury Divinity School, %Faribault, where he
graduated in 1875. His work has been
productive Of fine results, especially in St.
Paul. where he succeeded in establishing
two mission churches. His ability has been
generally recognized, and he will make q
most helpful assistant to the able, hard
working and ~tireless Bishop Whipple.

SENATOR INGALLS,, f. few days ago, in thu
course of some remarks on the Land For
FIXTURE bill, referring to the rapid decrease
in the available public domain, said that
at the present rate the time was not fal
distant when the country would be face
to face with the consideration whether we
should restrict immigration, or that other
and more dangerous consideration,
whether we should enter on a new career Of
conquest for the purpose OF acquiring in the
North or in the South new ter
ritory over which our surplus
population might be spread" This
statement from the floor Of the Sen
ate ia a remarkable one. That q Senator
should at this time even suggest that it il
in the range OF immediate possibilities that
the Government should find it necessary
by conquest to acquire either Mexico OF
the British possessions is peculiar. The
sentiment will not find an echo with the
people. There is yet in this country
enough unoccupied land to last for cen
turtles, and Mr.. Ingalls, knows Americana
are satisfied with the outlook for the pres
emit, and there is no disposition ON thei'
part t. either restrict immigration or &C
quire new territory. The statement OF thu
Senator was uncalled for and un-American
