When the democrats offered Con-
gresham s. y. Fisher, of Bay City,
the nomination for governor, he is re-
ported to have remarked. with CON-
placent smile, that he would be fool
to take it and run for something he
might not get, when he could have a
denomination for congress and walk
over. When the republicans OF the
tenth district named f. w. Wheeler
to run against him, Mr. Fisher is said
to have received his first glimmering
intimation of possible defeat, and
from letters written to friends in
Washington at the time, It is believed
that the republican presumption of
pitting against him man who lives in
the same block with him, and is per-
haps equally popular and nearly as
rich, made Mr.. Fishers manly bosom
swell with rage. Detroit Ne,cS.

Some housewives claim that a NIL OF
growing potatoes may be dug into and
the lar rest OF the tuDcrs removed, not
only without injury, but with positive
benefit to the crop. OF course the
work must be done quickly and care
fully, so as not to expose the roots to
sun and air. In covering up, throw Or
little more earth than was t~.neD AWAY
and compact it sli%L.tty with the hoe.
The operation Is very much like hoeing.
1t would not pay to harvest great
amount this way unless it was to get for
house use while potatoes were not
otherwise obtaiaable. For market {
pretty high price would be needed to
make it pay, as most of the tubers re
moved will grow more if left longer at
tachcd to the stems. In many cases,
however, the vine is over crowded, and
the removal Of the layer may leave
needed room for the smaller ones tC
develop. = American Cultivator.
