Storing Potatoes for Seed.

A successful potato grower Tn Ohio expresses the opinion that 1t will pay farmers to retard the sprouting of potatoes in late Win ter and early spring by artificial means, such as cold storaged or refrigeration in small ice'houses. He believes that the seed eXhausts itself by sprouting in the cellar, and it's vane becomes thereby greatly depreciated. It is sug- gcsted that not a little of the Aroostook, (Me. , potato growers is due to their naturally late spring which keeps the seed from growing until it is placed in the ground New York World.

How The Tariff Works.

Not only is the high protective tai if a burden ubon the cousum- CTS. but 1t is so arranged that 1t favors some sections of the coun- try more than others. Some of these outrageous features are very clearly set forth by the St Louis Republican in the following:
 The present tariff on salt Is about 100 per cent. One dollars worth of foreign salt has to pay an import duty of @l, and this is taxed on the consumer that when he buys il he pays 32 for whar he ought to get for Sl. The duty doubles the price of all the s'It made IT tiic cOunt1y--a very fine thing for the home manutac- turps of the article, but bad thing for the stock feeders and meat packers of the west. The domestic salt industry employs S,223 000 capital and i ,2S9 per sons. In the year 1880, 1t paid out S1.260,0O0 in wages-less than $500 per hand and used S2,001,- = coo worth of materials, and turned out ~4.S29,000 worth of salt. This shows Sll ,5J9,0O0 over and above expenses. or about l9 per cent on the capital invested. Salt is a necessary of life, and every soul of the population is consumer of ii; but the interests that use it in the largest quantities are the New English fish,packerS and the Wes- tern meat packers and the WeS' tern Stock-feedcrs: but II is GU. rious trick in the tariff law that the fish packers are allowed @to i import their supply of salt free of duty, while the other two great in- terests are compelled to pay the duty of 100 per cent. And this is not all. The fishing industry is not only specially exempted from the duty of paying the tariff on salt, but 1t Is further favored with a protective duty of 20 per cent. on the fish packed in this free salt. The explanation of this double ia, vor IS that fsh-packing is New England industry, while meat packing and cattle-feeding are Western. -EX.

AGRICULTURAL.

The ollowing, from the Fort Worth ,iaz2tte is recommended to the readers of the PIcAYUNE.
 What tbe newspapers in this part of the state ought to point out ,o the farmers, is the fact that "; ile they are getting into debt IaiSing cotton they might be get ling rica growing corn for stock feed
 Sc spoke a gentlemen in one of our hotels the other evening, and he was supplied with quantity of arguments to substantiate the proposition he enunciated, some of which are given for what they are worth:
 A 900 pound steer is worth Pc a pound. or SIS. Thirty-tive bush els of corn will. at 30c.. cost SlO.50 and that will put POO pounds of flesh on the steer; so altogether, yonr corn fed steer costs you 2S,5O.
 The steer can now be sold for 4c. per pound, i. C. S44, giving a clear profit 50 for the beef alone, The value of the manure and the hulls for hogs will make the protlt s20 easily, all made with thirty five bushels of corU, that could be grown on one acre of land,
 Now to look at the cotton grow ing, Three acres of land will grow a bale. year in and year ,ott.
 The bale weighed 900 pounds. and there is a clear profit of 2c' per pound on t. The grower makes Sl0 on three acres of land where, with corn. he might have had made SEQ on the acre. The fact is,n says the gentleman, ri q cotton grower makes Pc per pound on his cotton. he is doing eXtraor- diuary we'll. He generally comes out in debt at the end ot the sea on"
 Texas. at least the eastern part of it. is no longer a stock country in the same sense it was twenty years ago The day of long horns and mustangs is, past. But there is money to be made here, now,by raising a better grade of stock. Few countries in tue world surpass this for raising corn, oats, snd nay These fed to a limited number oi fine. .blooded animals, would pay far better profit than the cotton crop. And the cotton crop need not he greatly curtailed by engag ing in this business. What we would urge upon our people IS a mixed. .-husbandry, that would not leave the farmer at the mercy ol drouth or disaster of any kind
 If the cotton crop fails, there IS the grain crop and stock left to secure against want.
 An income from variety oi sources, coming in at different times in the year, will relieve from the necessity of borrowing money and enable the people to live on a cash basis, Debt, then, can easily be banished, from the land.

SWALLOWED A SPIDER.
A Novel but a Marvellous Cure
 for Malaria.

"MalaflaI
 "Yes Malaria"
 "No sir. l am omore afraid of malaria than am of yOu," and as the speaker was at least ten inches taller than the reporter, and pro portionatcly broader, his fear of that dread malady was probably not excessive. "I've had malaria, and I've been cured.'
 Yes, buta man can have mala- ria more than once."
 Not if he is cared the way l was. Ahoat t"u Noar> ago Was living in lndjaua, iu NiGo c'lnty near Terra Hiutr.

 "How was l cured" "Well it was novel cure. | boarded with a Mrs. Dennis, who told me she could cure me II 1 would take her medicine. Finally | agreed. She brought a towel and bound it around my head so l conld not see, then she brought a glass of water. and toid me to take ny dose, and immediat ely swal- low the water.
 The dose tasted like a little ball of dust, and as it was going down felt sharp pain in my throat. as 1 if 1t had been scratched.
 "The nextmorning Mrs. Dennis brought little box and showed me her medicine. It was a big hairy, black, spider, alive, and the mate to the one 1 had swallowed the day before"
 The medicine this gentleman took for malaria, may have been effective, but few would care to try the remedy. Nor is there any necessity for it.
 Malaria is d poisoned condition of the blood produced by bad air and water, which enters the blood channels through the stomach and lungs and other ways, and produce injurous effect on the liver and kidneys. Itis cured by putting the liver and kidneys in perfect order. The drugs ordinarily used for such purpose frequently do quite as much harm as good, and leave the system in an enfeebled condition
 The certain and harmless remedy for malarla is Warmers safe cure which puts the liver and kidneys in healthy action, when the poison is carried out of the system, and the serious effects it engenders pass away. J. NJ, Booth, Spring. field, Mass, under date of March 18th, 1887, writes: :-"One year ago ] l had'the malaria had had it more or less for ten years. l stopped all other medicine and took Warn CTS safe cure, and it cured me.
 This country is famous for mala- ria, and l know Warmers safe cure will cure you.
 People who live in malariouS To- calities will find in Warmers safe cure a specific against contracting this disease. The malarial polson can find no entrance to the system if the liver and kidneys are kept in healthy action.
 The gentleman who swallowed the spider concludes his narrative in the New York Mail and Express by saying

Manurlng Always Valuable

r. Henderson says: l never saw soils of any kind that had borne a crop of vegetables that would pro duce as good a crop the next sea- son without the use of manure, no matter how rich the land may be thought to be. One of my neigh borS, a market gardener of twenty years experience, and whose ground had always been a model of productiveness, had it in pros pect to run a SiXty-tOot street through his grounds. Thinking his land sufficiently rich 10 carry througha crop of cabbage without manure, he thought it useless to waste money by useing guano on that portion on which the street was to be, but on each side he sowed guano at the rate of 1900 pounds tO the acre and planted the whole with early cabbage. The effect was the most mark ed l ever saw. That portion on which guano had been used sold of read fly al Sl3 per 100, but the portion from which guano had been with. held hardly a2erage s3 per 100.
