The Kind of Potatoes Wanted in the
North

Though sweet potatoes may be grown
to fair size in almost every county in
Illinois, they are rarely good, being near
ly always watery and soft. Those of the
current year are not unusuallyso Even
those grown as far south aslatitude 37.3O
in the Cobeden fruit region, were in the
first part of the season hardly fit to eat.
Still, sweet potatoes are consumed in
considerable quantities by the Well-tO-dO
classes, and the favorite which comes
from New Jersey, finds ready sale at the
rate of 60 cents a peck to 80 90 a bush
ell and so on. The Jersey varieties are
round in shape rather than long, and
when cooked, are not only sweet but dry
and mealy or foury, and in consistence
differ very materially from those pro-
duced South, which, though sufficiently
sweet, are pasty and sticky in substance,
and when overdone, too soft for any
thing. But popular as we'll as Individual
tastes differ in the matter offood as much
as in other things, and the sweet tubers
OF the cotton belt are as disagreeable, if
not offensive to Northern tastes, as the
dry, foury product of the New Jersey
sands to Southern tastes.
So, therefore, if Southern growers wish
an active and large demand forsweet po-
tatoes, the product of the cotton belt,
they must secure New Jersey seed, select
soils suited to it, and the long Southern
summer will do the rest. To show to
what large measure quality affects the
price of so common product, in nearly
every considerable frst-class grocery in
the larger towns and theinteriOr cities in
Illinois, the produce Of New Jersey sands
is in better demand at so to so cents q
peck than home grown at 35 to 40 cents
bushel, and Southern Illinois at so to
60 cents and still, SO far as general ap-
pearance is concerned, the first and Sec
ond quality ftha one is as large, smooth
and attractive as the other. lnresponse
to the demand for the enormous quanti-
ty of Irish potatoes which find ready
market in Chicago, extensive districts.
embracing nearly whole counties in
Northern Michigan, Wisconsin and Min
nesota, are devoted to growing them,
and this branch of agriculture has been
found so profitable, in some sections
measures have been taken to irrigate in
case of drOuth.
Ii southern truck patch men and far
mers could succeed in growing sweet
potato equal to that grown on the sands
of New Jersey, they might successfully
and profitably compete for the trade,
with the advantage on their side Of being
several hundred miles nearer the chief
points of distribution. For the coming
three years the influx Of population to
Chicago will be an enormous one, with a
corresponding demand for fruits and veg
etables, especially the latter, and those
of our southern friends who are soonest
prepared to take advantage of it, will be
sure to make the most profit.
OF course, as The correspondent says,
taste differs, but unfortunately, or for
tunately, perhaps. Florida does not pro-
duce the juicy sweet potato SO much rel
ished by southerners and SO detested by
nOrtherners On the other hand we grow

THE u. B. A. DOCTORS.


Some Important Business Was Tran
sacted by Them Last Evening.
The medical staff Of the l.. +. A. met
last evening at the home, with full
attendance. In addition TO the usual
comparisons and discussions relating 10
the general conduct and current Of the
affairs of the institution, some business
OF interest TO the general public was
transacted.
The most important matter before
the meeting was that relating 10 the
"house surgeon" A house surgeon is
what the name implies. 1t is a sur
gcOn who lives IN the house. All hos
pitals have house surgeons; but,
paradoxical rs it may appear, not ali
hospitals have surgeons who live IN the
house. For instance, st. Mark S
hospital has no man within its
walls who stands by, sits by, or
lies and sleeps by, TO be on hand in case
of an emergency. II patient at ST.
Marks Hospital should be taken sud
denly Ill with hemorrhage, apoplexy or
any other extreme disorder. Il would be
necessary to send outside the hospital
for relief. On the contrary, the "house
surgeon" of the L. b. A. resides IN the
building, and is there night and day.
He can be called instantly, at any and
ali times, in case of sudden
emergency. The house surgeon,
who has heretofore lived al
the l.. b. A. Las been Or. c. A. John
son. Last evening the staff received
and accepted DR.. Johnson's resignation,
who is about 10 move to Manceiona,
TO practice medicine. In the place Of
DR.. Johnson, DR.. +. B. Strong was
recommended 10 the board of trustees
for election to the vacant plsce.
A committee of three, consisting Of
Drs. HerTick, Hazlewood and Graves,
was appointed TO draw up rules and
regulations tor the government oi the
medical service of the hospital.

awarded to ;. Clark SprOst, was severe.
j. criticised yesterday
Sasoats bid tor tie work Was 60 cents
for eaoh numbering, aud from al sI,-
pesranoes IA attempt was made 10 rs.l-
road the measure through, notwsth-
standing the fact that there were lower
bidders for the same work.
The council would, n al probability.
have accepted the report OF the COM
mlttee had It not been for Alderman
Sproul, who objected Ia most en-
phatie manner. He set his foot down
on the scheme, and n consequence the
report MAS lad on the table FOR one
week.
After the meeting of the council,
Alderman sproul informed the IELE-
GRAa-IiEBALD thai his reasons for NOV
ing that the measure lac held over.
we're because he had been informed
that the Hall Door Plate aud Number

been considered by the committee.

the council had appointed a committee

The patriotism of colonial days, which surveyed the roads now our heritage, has long since evaporated. Sentiment will not buy experience and skilled supervis- good road cannot be expected to make one. When the care of our roads is vest ed in renllnerated responsibility, sub ject to State and county supervision. the standard of excellence of all our roads will be the same and not subject, as it now is, to the anticipated ideas or lack of ideas of a thousand pathmasters. We are lame on system.' 'sOur effort is not directed.' This Is the summing up of the whole matter.
 We are prone to compare our roads with the famous highways of Europe. So far as these comparisons tend to edu- cate the people as to what good road is they do we'll. Let us grant that the past has presented an array of circumstances bearing against good roads in America.
