the ieebergs Of the two hemispheres.
Those of the Arctic ocean are irregular
in shape, with lofty pinnacles. cloud
capped towers and glittering domes.
whereas the Southern icebergs are fiat
topped and solid looking The former
reach the shore by narrow fords. bu.
the formation Of the latter Is more reg.
ular. The northern are neither so large
nor so numerous as those met with in
the southern ocean. In 1855 an i'm
mense berg was sighted in AZ degrees
south latitude. which drifted about for
several months and was sighted by
many ships. 1t was 500 feet high. sixty
miles long and forty miles wide. and
was in shape like horseshoe. Its two
sides inclosed a sheltered bay meas
uring forty miles across. A
large emigrant ship ran into
this bay and was lost with all
on board. Only about one-ninth OF an
iceberg is visible above water. There
are several well authenticated accounts
Of icebergs LOCO feet high having been

Other Democratic milliOnaires Will
contribute with equal liberality, and it
would not be surprising if the Demo
cratic campaign fund should reach ST.
000 600 or s., 100000. So vast roll
of Doodle was never before used in one,
and probably not in ten, American
elections.
This enormous Doodle indicates
where the lines of the Democratic cam
paign win be paid. The slums of New
York City and the other cities of New
York State are to be crammed with
money. Fraudulent maiorities, pro-
cured by unlimited rascality, are TO be
created in the criminal wards of the
cities sufficient to swamp the honest
voters of the farming country and the
manufacturing and business centers.
BY these means, characteristic of Dem
ocratic methods in the past, but I'M
paralleled in extent, the Democratic
millionaire conspirators intend to car
~ for Cleveland the 80 electoral votes
of New York. Added to the electoral
vote of the solid south Q53). they will

and Connecticut with votes. This is
the Democratic plan of the campaign.
A gang of millionaire monopOlists,
princi pally from the railroad and coal
rings, will contribute enough money to
make a gigantic Doodle campaign in a
few doubtful States. 1t remains to be
seen if the Presidency can be retained
by the Democratic party through
methods of such colossal villainy.-

To Start Sweet Potatoes.

The sweet potato can not be planted

corn weather, and us this will not oc-
cur before June, the middle of April is
time enough to start the bed. Eighteen
inches OF manure, or just enough o
give gentle bottom heat, is sufficient,
the sun under the glass doing most OF
The work. After the bed is made and
heat started, it is ready to plant Lay
over the manure six inches of sandy
soil; if all sand. just rs we'll or better.
Halve the potatoes lengthwise and lay
fiat on the sand-they may nearly
cover the ground. Sprinkle over the
top just enough sand to barely cover
the potatoes. After the young sprouts
have started their roots into this sand
and the tops are about six inches high.
they are slipped off and each shoot is
plant and ready Tor the ground.
Only light. friablo soil will grow them
probably. This is thrown up by the
plow into ridges four feet apart The
plants are dibbled out on these ridges
one foot apart--the cut worm Of EN- de-
stroys quantities f tho sets, and must
be watched for. destroyed when found,
and other sets put ont where needed.
At least couple of crops Of sprouts
can be taken from one set of tubers,
and at any time in June will do TO
plant them. so there is no danger Of
not having plenty of plants. 1t takes
from s, 900 to 10000 sets per acre.
