Be Sure Your Chicken Is Dead,

Housekeepers do not always understand
that a chicken, after the animal heat leaves
the body, is not fit for food in less than
twenty-four hours. During this time the
muscles are stiffened by the rigor that sue
ceeds directly after the departure of ami
NAL heat in all animals, and are tougher
than they are at any time previous. In
Virginia and many parts Of the south
cooks kill and dress poultry with great ra-
pidity, and plunge the pieces of chicken
while they are still warm with animal
heat into the frying kettle. This secures
the tender, succulent dishes of fried chick
en- which are justly the pride of the old Vir-
ginia cook.
There is something repulsive to the
northern housewife in serving up a fowl
that was perhaps a few moments before
strutting about, the pride of the yard. An
equally good and tender dish of chicken
may be attained by keeping the fowl till the
muscles relax, and it is in prime condition
for food. In fact only by the rapid process
of frying can O chicken be cooked done be-
fore the muscles stiffen. This the south
ern cook knows, and she never attempts to
fricassee or roast a fowl that has not been
hung at least t~wenty-four hours.-New
York Tribune.

mine with a wife who insisted upon wicker
rockers with dainty head rests, and small
tables with blue china, and who frequently
had to get up nights for the paregoric, went
out one morning after a nights cropping

The Potato Disease in Ireland.

DUBLIN, Aug. 25.-From reports which.
have come to us from the west and south
west, and which have undoubtedly reached
America, it is evident that we are on the,
verge of a potato famine. And in this con-
nection it will not be embarrassing to tell
your readers of how this disease. "potato,
blight" makes its appearance.
I have made many inquiries, and was
surprised to learn that it comes from the
atmosphere, and is not caused by an insect.
It appears that on the coast-and it is there
the best potatoes are grown-a garden"
or potato field, may be green in the morn

is seen in the distance; it grows rapidly
bigger until it assumes the conditions of a
white fog. This fog settles down damplyi
on the coast line, and in the morning, when,
the sun dissipates it and the air is again
clear, the potato stalks lie black and with
cred on the field and the crop is "blighted ~
Some intelligent farmers conceived the
idea of moving down the stalks immedi-
ately after the 'sblight fog'' had passed,
and so prevent the disease reaching the
tubers. But so quick and deadly is the
action of this poisonous cloud that once it
can save the crop.

scientists decided that the fault lay in the
continual planting Of the same potatoes in
the same districts, and an enormous
amount of Scotch seed potatoes was im-
ported at the public expense. But the re-
suit was not beneficial in proportion to the
cost Of the experiment. The change of
seed was probably beneficial. and the
"champions'' (the Scotch seed) grew sound;
" for the first season. Blu that was an
exceptionally dry season, and natives grew
quite as well. Afterward, as the seasons
grew damp or u~npropitious, the crops be-
came worse and worse, until in this year
we nave a condition Of things that battles
comparison, for never before was there
such q general potato disease in the west
ern and southwestern districts of Ireland,
and never before was the country so i'll
prepared for such q dearth of it's staple
food.
Considerable time and research has been
given to this matter of the potato disease
by scientists, and many methods other
than those I have explained have been tried
to cure or remedy the evil, among them.
being a scheme which originated in Belfast
some years ago. 1t was this; A gentleman
named j. Stewart Wallace conceived the,
idea that the present seed was "outseeded,n
or incapable Of producing tubers of q.
strength sufficient to withstand t'blight
fog" and he collected several hundred
pounds weight of the seed gathered from
the potato flower. which he sent gratui-
tously throughout the country. But, as
has all others, this scheme failed, and
down to the present time no remedy has
been found which has been even partially
effective.

either party will faithfully and honestly

time is ripe for an independent movement
and briefly state our reason for the m
1t Is true that the republican party in
their platform have declared for the en-
forcement Of prohibition, but, before the
resolution was fairly cold, many of the
leading members OF that convention had a
free debauch of whisky and beer in the
Hotel Dacotah, and ought to be prosecuted
as law breakers, and further in choosing
their standard bearer Captain Burke, they
have been careful to get a man satisfacto-
'ry to the liquor interests. He is nowhere
on record as a prohibi ionist. In their
nomination for attorney general, they
have thrown overheard George F. Good

against the lottery resubmission move
whose record as district attorney in Walsh
county was VIGOROUSLY friendly to the
liquor traffic. and who was defeated for re-
election to that Office by the prohibition
lists in 1888. Besides the nominees men-
toned we find on the republican ticket five
other 0utspoken license and lottery men.
Owe further view with alarm the election
of the lottery and resubmission move
ments, to the chairminshlp OF the republi-
can state committee, which is further in
tensified by the fact that said election was
made by authority of the candidates on
the republican ticket.
In view of these facts, we, the under

give notice that a mass convention OF prohi-
bitionists will he held in Grand Forks, N.
