SEED potatoes.

There was short crop last year, and
the price has ruled higher than usual
through the winter, but not as high as
many expected, as large quantities have
been brought across the Atlantic in addi-
ton to the usual importations from the
Provinces. Whether or not the price, of
potatoes be excessive, it will pay to take
good care of what we may have on hand.
1t will be good year to try small, whole
seed for planting, method which some
believe is the best. We have no hesta-
ton about planting potatoes, the size of
English walnuts, if they are kept from
starting till time to plant. This size is
too small for market, and worth COM
paratively little for feeding to stock.
Some may be tempted to plant the for
eign potatoes, but those who have eX-
perimented with European seed in years
past report very unfavorably of the re-
sult.-[N. Z. Farmer.

False Notions About Eating.

1t has been an old wives notion from
way back that certain kinds of food must
be avoided because they tend to produce
certain kinds of disease. This notion has
been fostered by alleged physicians who
publish health journals, and are always
laying down rules about living which. if
any one undertook to follow literally and
scrupulously, would make life burden
from the cradle to the grave. Some
years ago Dr. Dio Lewis. who was re-
garded as somewhat of a health expert,
announced that tomatoes were unhealthy,
were the cause of cancer, loosened and
destroyed the teeth, etc. For generations
boys and girls had been warned not to
eat so much butter or their faces would
break out with butter sores. 1t is an
old time tradition that buckwheat cakes
are productive of skin diseases. and the
Scotch are said to be cursed with the itch
because they eat so much oatmeal
DIR. James c. White, professor of der
matology in Harvard university. in re-
cent article on cutaneous diseases. pricks
some of these annoying traditional bub-
bles. He saws that uncooked butter is
perfectly harmless food SO far as the skin
is concerned. and it is difficult to con-
ceive how any one could have thought
otherwise, unless, possibly, the use
of bad butter in food otherwise indi-
gestible may have disturbed the stomach
and produced impure blood. Buclwheat
cakes do not produce cutaneous diseases,
unless improperly cooked and eaten hot
with too much syrup, they upset the
digestion. Oatmeal is perfectly harm
less food. and the idea that tomatoes
cause cancer is ridiculous. DIR. White
says that the eating of fruits nuts and
fish may lead to irritation of the skin in
certain individuals. but this arises from
some cause peculiar to the individual.
The notion that certain kinds of food are
detrimental to the complexion is false
one. a good digestion and a healthy
appetite will take care of the skin. and
it matters little what one eats if the
stomach is allowed to do its work prop
erly and furnish good material for pure
blood. Springfield Union.

An old copy of The Paris Citizen con-
tains the following account of Daniel
Boone's death
''As he lived so he died. with his gun
in his hand. We are informed by gen.
tleman direct from Boone's settlement
on the Missouri that early last month
Col. Boone rode to deer lick, seated
himself within a blind raised to conceal
him from the game. That while sitting
thus concealed, with his trusty rifle in
his hand, pointed toward the lick, the
muzzle resting on log, his face to the
breech of his gun. his rifle cooked, his
finger on the trigger, one eye shut, the
other looking along the barrel through
the sights-in this position, without a
struggle or motion, and of course, with
out pain, he breathed out his last SO
gently that when he was found next day
by his friends, although stiff and cold. he
looked as if alive, with his gun in his
hand, just in the act of firing. 1t is not
altogether certain if buck had come
into range of his gun, which had been
death to thousands, but it might have in
tuitively obeyed its old employers mind
and discharged itself. This hypothesis
being novel, we leave the solution to the
curious. bourbon News.

duty on Vermont farm products of fully
thirty-three per cent, in the form Of ex-
cessive freight exactons. Between the
upper milestone of oleo, butter and
cheese, and the lower milestone of stupid
railroad greed, Vermont is at standstill,
and looking back or away, rather than
forward in hope and courage. And yet,
the whole matter lies in the hands of the
farmers, to regulate for themselves at the
next session of the legislature. What
are we going to do? Shall we make Yer
mont as well worth living in as any State
in the Union, or shall we run away and
leave it to bats and the owls, and the
railroad rings?"
