SEED POTATOES,

There is great difference of opinion
among farmers upon the subject of plant
ing potatoes. Some claim that by plant
ing piece of potato with only single
eye in each hill they will get much
larger proportion of good-sized, market
able potatoes than by seeding more heav-
lily. There is NO question that when the
object is to produce the largest possible
yield from given quantity of seed. re-
gardless of expense, it can be accom-
plished by cutting the tubers so that there
shall be but single eye on each piece,
and then dropping but one piece in a
hill. When experimenting with new va
rieties that come very high this course
may prove most profitable. AS our cor
respondent is in section of country fa-
vorable for growing potatoes on large
scale, where seed potatoes can be bought
at reasonable prices, he will find heavy
seeding the most profitable. Expert
ments in potato growing have been made
at most of the agricultural colleges. The
results of those at Michigan were as fol-
lows: "The yield from cuttings, one
eye to the hill, was fifty bushels; two
eyes, seventy-one; three eyes, eighty-six
one-half potato, ninety, and whole po-
tato, III bushels, showing very large
gain made by planting whole seed. w.
J. Green, horticulturist of the Ohio Ag-
ricultural College, says on this subject
Larger yields of potatoes have invari-
ably been obtained from planting whole
than cut potatoes; but portion, at least,
of this increase has been Offset by the
greater cost of the seed and the larger
per cent. of small potatoes in the pro-
duce. ."-Bosto,o Culticator.

latter do not come in until the animal is
five years old. AS these first or tempo:
rary nippers become worn and are
crowded upward by the growth OF the
permanent teeth they often turn quite
black long before they drop out. 1t Is
these milk or first teeth that give the
country horse doctor 20 much trouble,
but it is rare that they seriously trouble
the animal in whose jaws they have
grown. In some instances, however, there
is considerable irritation and fever at
tending the cutting of the teeth in AMI
mails. Horses sometimes suffer from what
is called detention fever, especially in the
third year, when they cut four front teeth
and eight back ones, also in the fourth
year, when the same number Is cut, with
the addition of four tushes. If the gums
are red and highly infamed they should
be washed with tincture of myrrh, and II
there is much swelling slight lancing will
usually give immediate relief. Soft food
at such times should also be given, as 1t
is more readily masticated. If one OF the
temporary teeth should become loose and
interfere with mastication, it may be
drawn out or cut loose from the gums,
but there should be no "knocking out"
with file and hammer, as is far too often
practiced with country horse doctors.
Wild horses appear to get along very well
without any assistance from man at teeth
ing time, and those under domestication
rarely require any assistance in getting nd
of their temporary teeth. The teeth OF
old horses do occasionally require little
fling if worn uneven with hard and coarse
food, but rarely otherwise.-New York

Country and City Lungs.

A few days ago New York specialist
in pathology showed the writer two
bottles. One contained section of q
healthy lung of man who had lived in
the country, and the other the lung of a
man who had lived and died in New York.
The country lung showed a clear pink
color; the city lung was almost black, and
it was impossible to trace tie veins
through the smut and dirt. The expert
ment proved, of course, that the air in
New York is so impregnated with dust
and dirt that the lungs become in as much
need of bath as if they were laid in a
bed of harcoal.-Haryord Courafat.

hold of the Catholic faith in the United
States, but with the shifting westward OF
the center of population she lost her posi-
ton. It is the large number of church
structures, the converts, asylums and
academies, the vast area of valuable and
centrally located property, the large at
tendance at the churches and the number
and sacredncss of the possessions Of the
various parishes that have combined to

Romance of Invention.

Some of the pioneers in electrical ap-
pGcation have reaped golden harvests.
Professor A. G.. Bell was at one time
walking about Washington anxious to sell
telephone stock for ten cents on the dol
lar. Before that he was teaching deaf
and dumb school in Boston. The tele-
phone brought him fame and riches, and
he has now an income of hundreds OF
dollars day, ,and a fortune of Sc, 900, 900.
G.. F. Brush is said to have been working
at SIS week before he struck the electric
LIGHT which made him millionaire. ~

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
PROFIT FROM BEES.

The profit from bees depends wholly
on the management. A well-worked
apiary will extract more value in the
honey from field of clover than dairy
of COWS will make of butter from the same
clover, and the bees will leave all the hay
and clover seed. A field of white clover,
buckwheat, or any Towering crop will
make the most income in the form of
honey. So that bee farm provided with
a succession of the best honey-yielding
crops would be more profitable than any
other kind of agriculture.-Ne~ York
Times.

TIE TEETH OF HORSES.

The illiterate and ignorant horse doc
tor is very prone to attribute every slight
ailment in young horses to the presence of
what are enormously called "wolf teeth. !"
Every man who raises horses should know,
even if he does not, that foal, when
about a year old, has six temporary or
front nippers, as they are termed, in the
upper and lower jaws. At two years old
the two centre nippers are shed, aud new
and permanent teeth fill their places. At
three years the next two teeth, one on
each side, drop out, and at four years old
the permanent corner teeth appear, and
usually the tushes. but sometimes the

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

never keep ioou pe1oie tne hen@ SoH
tinually.
The secret of feeding is to avoid get
ting your laying hens fat.
Always keep your hens at work. An
idle hen is never good layer.
Do not compel few good hens to sup
port the others. Kill the drones.
Never mix wood ashes with manure OF
any kind, but apply it to the land sepa-
rate and alone.
To throw tree into the ground and
in any sort of a location, is not the way
to plant tree.
If you have not planted that bit of
sweet corn yet, you need not wait any
longer. Put it in.
You can't produce eggs and lice at the
same time-the one business is entirely
separate from the other.
Grain is deficient in lime and mineral
matter, but bran is rich in nitrogen, car
bon and mineral matter.
Young trees should be cultivated dur
ing the early part of the season very much
the same as corn crop.
Feed boxes should not be kept full of
feed. If they are, the hens will have no
inducement to work and scratch.
The machine for converting food into
eggs must be of the best to be had. Any
thing and everything will not do.
If your fruit crates are getting old and
looking dirty and rusty, paint them with
some bright colored paint at once.
Beans and peas, cooked, and thick
ened with bran, and fed twice week, Is
an excellent food for laying hens.
Do not waste time trying to cure egg
bound hens, or persistent cases of roup.
The labor will be worth more than the
hen.
Don't pile manure up around the bod
les of your old fruit trees, but scatter it
over the surface as far out as limbs ex-
tend.
Be careful in setting strawberry plants
not to plant the roots in bunch, but
spread them out fan shaped and all will
grow.
The more wrinkled the pea seed the
better the quality, but the kinds that are
of the wrinkled varieties are not usually
the earliest.
Poor, light, sandy soil will produce the
earliest fruit, and old strawberry beds
will ripen the same kind earlier than
young beds.
A mold from the leaves and small
twigs of naples mixed with one-sixth its
bulk of sand makes the best soil for pot
ting Hippeaster.
If you have first class Seeding of a
peach, pear or apple, sow pits or seeds
from it, and as a rule you will get fruit
the same or similar.
Whitewash the fruit trees, getting it
we'll in the crotches with lime. White
wash the limbs as far up as it can be
done, as we'll as the bodies.
Plow among the raspberries at once,
throwing burrows up to them, and then
run through with the cultivators up to
nearly time of ripening fruit.
A grape vine, no matter how large or
old, may be cut down almost to the
ground. Fresh growth will be made
from eyes that were dormant.
1t is said that rags saturated with kero-
sene and fastened into split stick that
has been driven into the squash, mellon
and cucumber hills will keep bugs off.
Condition powders cannot assist hen
to get something out of nothing. If the
albumen is not in large amount of food
it will not be found in q teaspoonful of
condition powder.

Excitement ran high until the polls closed.
The other precincts in the same ward were
solid tor Finn. Others were as follows:
In the Fourth precinct of the Eighth ward
Thomas W. Baker, q Finn delegate won by

In the Third precinct of the Thirteenth ward
there was three-cornered fight between John
Thompson, a Finn delegate; James Kerr, 4
Quay delegate, and Robert Chandler, an inde-
pendent delegate. Kerr won by one vote, de-
feating Thompson by one vote and Chandler
by two votes. The other Finn delegate pulled
through.
In the First precinct of the Fourteenth ward
