A Wager Accepted.
From the New York World.

FROM the NcW fOrk WOrlu.
The yields of potatoes raised from
year to year on the specially prepared
potato plot of the Rural New York
er's experiment grounds are the lar
gest on record. These yields are not
confined to occasional favorable sea-
sons, but they have been produced
every year on the same plot
for ten years. The editor. in order
to show his faith in his peculiar meth
cd OF potato culture, offered several
weeks ago a wager from $50 to SIoo
or more that ne would raise on this
plot next season--let il be favorable
or unfavorable- at the rate of over
100 bushels TO the acre, the money to
be donated to some charity. Now it
appears that Mr. Atkinson, the editor
of the Farm Journal, has accepted
the wager in the interests of agricul-
tural progress. The crop is TO be
harvested in the presence of and the
yield computed by at least four prom
inent men, whose names shall be a
guarantee against errors of any kind.
Such trials are commendable what
ever the outcome, and should the
number of bushels fixed upon be
equaled or exceeded, all farmers will
be glad to give the Rural's method
of potato culture careful trial.

Some dealers buy these poor

by saying they are "just as good"
sell them at the same price as the
strong blankets to parties who do
not know the difference.

Geo. L. Brown s. Co. announce that 1t
has been decided to close the present
partnership under which they have been
doing most successful business for many
years. The Co." Mr.. Chas. A. Brown,
Of Portland, Me-. finding his large manu-
featuring interest in the East requires his
undivided attention. and the managing
partner. Geo. X. Brown, not caring to
continue the business on the immense
scale the firm has been doing; they have
decided 10 close out the large stock by
April 1st; and to this end will quote very
attractive prices to intending buyers.
This firm Is too well known to our readers
to require extended comment from us
When 1t Is considered that at the time
Geo. II. Brown commenced this business
fourteen years ago, Cleveland Bay and
English Shire horses and Holstcin cattle
were scarcely known in this country; that
when locating at Elgin in 1875. one car
load constituted his entire stock in trade;
and that now the stables and yards OF this
firm occupy more than 10 acres OF ground,
aud 800 acres Of rich prairie afford but
little more than pasture for their breeding
and growing stock. it will readily be con-
oeded that their selections must have been
of the best, and that these now popular
breeds have supplied decided want in
this country. Were anything further
necessary to emphasize the success OF
Messrs. Brown 81 Co., it is found in the
fact that their stock has always been at
the front when exhibited at agricultural
fairs, and In several instances nearly swept
the board of prizes in spite Of the strongest
competition. Shrewd buyers wanting
first class stock will not let this oppor-
tunity to supply themselves go by. We
advise them to send at once for illustrated
pamphlet and full particulars. See their
new advertisement.
