POTATO CUGJuRk
The Necessity OF Keeping thsTubers Free
From Weeds and. Grass.

From weeds and. Grass.
Potatoes will do well on very poor
land. They want q rich light soil. If
the soil is not. so by nature it must be
made so by cuisivation. With potatoes.
as with other crops, the weeds and
grass must be kept out to get the best
results. Sons fail in securing satisfac-
tory results by completing their work
too soon. They will have them cleaned
out and hilled up nicely and then leave
them to work in their corn before the
tops get lasge enough to receive the
final hoeing. and in consequence they
are injureGii by the grass and weeds,
which, in Ease of a dry spell take the
moisture and the. potato is failure.
Cultivate the potato as long as it will
do. and not disturb the young tubers.
Usually the tops, fail down by this time.
At planting cut the potatoes to one or
two eyss. commencing at the root end
and cus,downwards. prefer large po-
tatoes and then cut to one eye. / sup
pose there is, very little difference as to,
the yield. whether you plant in hills o.
drills, but good cultivation is very es.-

something of the kind in wintee. and /
think there should be more raised for
this purpose. The potato is quite
liable to dry rot, wet rot and scab.
There is a good deal ct discussion about
the different causes of these different
diseases. The seasons and weather,
think. have good deal to do with the
rot, but long planting of the same kind
in the same soil without change OF seed
will cause it to run out and therefore
become more susceptible to disease
The practice of changing seed aud
planting in different soils should be
kept up for tAe health of the potato.

BY too high manuring; some say the
potato beetle; and others fish worms;

THE Victoria Advocate evidently
has not so eXcelled an opinion of
Cleveland's ability as a lawyer as is
entertained by the Houston Post
which Barlow charges with gushing
over the new law partner of Bangs &
Co. The Advocate remarks:
If he isn't a better lawyer than
politician he won't prove to be much
of an accession to Bangs & Co. Grover
is great statesman but he doesn't
go for much as lawyer or politician.
We believe he was at one time con-
sidered a pretty good sheriff. But
Grover will be known in history
principally as the man who presided
at the funeral of the national demo-
cratic party, and that is why we are
not in love with him.

Newspaper Women.

Newspaper Women.
The following interesting statis.
ticis are furnished The Chicago
Newspaper Union by Miss Fannie
Leafle.
1t is matter of history that the
hr't daily Newspaper printed in the
world was edited and established by
a woman, Elizabeth Mallet. in Lon.
don, nearly two hundred years ago,
1t being of reformatory character.
The first newspaper published in
America of which there 10 record
was also edited by a woman-the ed
'tor's widow-upon his death. 1t
was called the "Massachusetts Ga.
zette and News Letter." and under
the management of Mrs. Margret
Craper was the only Boston publica-
ton which did not temporarily sus-
pend when that city was Desieged by
the British.
Another piece of woman nswspa-
per enterprise was the first paper issu
ed in Rhode Island In 1882 by Anna
Franklin, of whom it is related that
together with her daughters she did
the entire printing, and the house SER
want worked the printing press. She
was appointed official printer of the
colony.
In l772 the Virginia Gazette was
established by Clementins REID, and
was the first paper to publish the
Declaration of Independence.
Another woman who was appoint
Ell to the Office OF State Printer was
Miss Anne Timothy, of South Caro-
lima, which position rhe held seyen-
teen years.
Mrs. Anna Green, who published
the frat paper in Maryland, also held
the position of Colonial Printer.
Penelope Russell. who edited the
Censor in Boston in l77l, is reputed
to have set her own editorial., which
showed superior merit, into type
without copy.
Mrs. Hassbatch, of the Maryland
Jonrnal, before the Revolutionary
~-ar. wrote editorials so pungent that
her sex slone saved her from public
logging. Afterward she had the
first pos;ofiice appointment in the
State.
Mrs. Harriet n. Prewett, OF Yazoo
City. Miss. is a notable instance of
latter-day newspaper enterprise on
the part o. yemen. In 1913 she was
left : .,idoT. the most important of
her possessions being three little chill
dren and the Weekly Yazoo CITY
Wing, afterward Banner. For more
than fourteen years through the col
umns of Ter paper she welded a
strong influence in Mississippi poll
tics. Hers was the first paper in the
country to sugge.t the name of Mil.
lard Fillmore for the Presidency.
Mrs. Frank Leslie, the lady mana.
ger of ten periodicals and four bun
dred employees. is brilliant example
of woman's work in the journalistic
field to-day. 1t is said that her ele-
giant house in Saratoga was built by
Frank Leslie, her deceased husband,
in three weeks in consequence of his
fiancee's promise to marry him as
soon as it was done.
