EARLY POTATOES.

Figures Showing that They Excel tho
Late Varieties
1t is quite generally conceded that
early potatoes are more profitable than
late ones. There is no question about
the matter with the gardener who
wishes to grow two crops m one sea-
son. and making early potatoes the
first crop. Many farmers do not at.
tempt double cropping. hence it mat
tiers little to them whether they grow
early or late varieties. provided the
crop is equal in both eases. In favor
able seasons. when there is sufficient
rain during the period Of growth, late
varieties often give larger yields than
the early sorts. A more or less pro-
tracted drought is likely to occur dur
ing July or August which materially
checks the growth and decreases the
yield of late varieties, but the early
sorts, being ripe before that time, es-
cape damage. The shorter the sea-
son of any variety. the less liable it il
to suffer from drought The follow
ing table gives record of the early
and late varieties grown at the station
for three seasons. None are included
that have not been grown for that
length OF time:

The idea of a distinct track for tho

is given of the transportation of
Goals, near Newcastie-on-Tyne, upon
u very imperfect railway. by means of
rude carriages, whose wheels run upon
scmc kind of rails of timber. About
one hundred years afterwards, an iron
railway is said to have been constructed
and put into operation at the colliery
near Sheffield. From this time they
were put into very extensive use for
conveying coal, stone and other like
substances short distances. in order to
reach navigable waters. and sometimes
near the cities where large quantities
Of stone were needed for building pur-
poses.

YANKEE SHREWDNESS.

How an American Outwitted tho Old
cials Of Morocco's Sultan.
One very good story was told by Mr..
Radford, illustrating the I" go-ahead y
character of the American. There is
only one machine mill in Morocco. II
belongs to an enterprising citizen OF
the United States named Cobb. Its
erection was utterly illegal. The pref
udice against machinery among the
Moors is as strong as it used to be
among English hand loom weavers.
Mr. Cobb's application for the au-
thorizatiOn of his mill was rejected.
The Prime Minister would not hear Of
it, the Sultan absolutely forbade the
newfangled method of grinding corn.
MIR. Cobb, however, went Fright
ahead" He built his mill, he put in
his machinery. Only one finishing
touch was necessary. The grinding
stones were duly delivered ut the
wharf But this gave the authorities
their opportunity and they calmly inn
pounded them. 1t was useless going
to the Moorish Government. SO Mr..
Cobb applied to the United States rep
resentative. He got a formal reply.
informing him thai. since the Prime
Mi:ister and the Sultan had both for
hidden the execution Of the project, it
would be idle for him to expect any as
sistance from the formal representative
of the United States. That letter was
all that Captain Cobb needed He
took it to the local authorities. who
had his grinding stones in charge. and
asked them if they could read ylish.
mol" Then read this" cried Cap
tain Cobb. There were the arms of the
United States; there was an undOuLted
official signature; and Captain Cobb
said he was going 'straignt shead "
with his mill. Nobody knew what COM
plicaticn might ensue if this deter
mined American were disappointed
The stones were given up, the INF ! was
finished. and the next time the Sultan
came that way he sent all his corn to
be ground by machinery. Liverpool

DON'T KNOW ENOUGH TO VOTE.


Ono Case Who're the Woman was tho
Wisest
Acorrespondent of the San Francisco
Call points out the Inconsistency OF
denying suffrage to the most intelligent
women on the ground that women
don't know enough to vote. " while the
most ignorant men are freely well
coined at the ballot-box. She Illus
trates this by scene that actually
took place between an excellent and
highly-educated woman, wife OF a
prominent Congressman and sister OF
a former Governor of California, and
her iiliterate coachman:
cit happened that on one election
day, as she was preparing to go down
town, it occurred to her to ask her
driver if he was voter. Yes, he re-
piled, .he was one WAS he regis
tered? Yes We'll. would he like
to vote?' On the whole he thought he
would like to do So Very well; while
they were out she would see to it that
he had an opportunity. The man did
not know where his polling-place was;
but, learning where he had registered.
she succeeded in locating the particular
saloon where the bailot-box was. and
waited in the carriage on the opposite
side OF the street while her coachman
exercised his manly prerogatiye. He
wished to vote a certain ticket, and she
had the prccaution to instruct him to
bring his ticket to her before casting his
vote. Soon he emerged from the vot-
ing-place, and. crossing the street.
brought her the straight opposition
ticket. He was much surprised to
learn that this was not the ticket he
wanted. He had been assured that it
was. She sent him back for another
set, and, after some little time and a
good dea! of trouble, for the man had
no idea who the candidates were, she
succeeded in getting a full set of the
tickets, which she sent him to deposit
in the box. i could not vote myself
was her comment, but Icould at least
see that he voted as he wanted to.
But for her intervention he would have
voted directly against his own wishes.
No woman could be more ignorant
than that.
