Growing a Big Crop of Potatoes.

There is no great secret i'm growing
big crops of potatoes, remarks farmer
of experience, ''only that you must have
rich soil to begin with. You must plow
it not only once but twice, and harrow it
as often as there is any need of harrow
ing it. Then plant your seed in drills
three feet apart and open furrow be-
tween the rows to run the irrigating
water through. Sink that deep enough
that the water will be lower than the
plant, and do not let the water come in
direct contact with the plant, but let it
reach the fibres by seepage. Run nc
water on the ground after the potatoes
have blossomed. Cultivate well and you

A NEW FORM OF MANURE.


Statements Made by Peter Henderson Be-
fore the Massachusetts Society.
Anything new on the topic of manures
is of interest to gardeners and farmers
A recent feature is the use of dried peat
moss in place of straw as bedding for
horses in towns and cities. In regard to
this Mr.. Henderson expressed the opinion
that the moss SO used is likely to be of
great value to the market gardener, if it
can only be had in sufficient quantities.
Mr.. Henderson also made the following
statements, which afford desirable in
formation on the subject:
We have had it in use i'm our own sta
bles for about two years, and find it not
only more economical than straw for bed
ding, but its absorbing qualities makes it
of great value for fertiliZing purposes.
We can buy ordinary straw manure in
our vicinity for 81 per team load, but
we are buying all we can get from sta
bles where the moss is used at 50 per
team load, believing it to be of twice the
value of ordinary straw manure. 1t is
claimed that the source of supply of the
peat moss in Europe is almost mex
haustible, and it is now offered by three
OF four firms i'm New York at prices
ranging from Sl2 to Si4 per ton, and it
is hoped competition will bring it yet still
lower. 1t is now used exclusively as bed
ding by some of our largest horse car
stables and express companies in New
York and vicinity, and one of our largest
livery stable men in Jersey City, who
has been using it for two years, says he
would rather use peat moss for bedding
at sl4 per ton than he would straw for
nothing, SO much more satisfactory does
he find it in all respects for his horses.

Drink for FatteninS Hogs.

American Cultivator says: Corn is
heating food. 1t is too concentrated for
most kinds of stock, and even for hogs
it often creates a feverish state of the
system that requires good deal of wa
ter to cool down. A hog that is kept
feverish from overloaded stomach will
not fatten. 1t should have beets or
mangel wurzels, but if this is impossible
mix water with the chill taken off it
with little fine middlings. This will
distend the stomach and prevent consti-
patton. 1t will also furnish the albu-
minoid food necessary to make lean
meat, in which corn is deficient. If fat.
tening hogs are given drink warm, and
thus mixed with wheat middlings, they
will drink much more heartily than they
will of cold water alone, and be less
likely to get off their feed.

Chip Manure.

Chip manure is not nearly so valuable
as it appears to be-not so good as rotten
leaves. 1t is a very good ingredient of a
compost heap; but the more stable ma
nure, cotton seed and acid there are in
the heap. and the less chip manure, the
better the result The best use we ever
found for chip manure is to bed on it for
potatoes, either Irish or sweet, especially
if ashes be scattered over it along the
furrow. Southern Cultivator

THE MANDAMUS DENIED.

From the Mankato Free Press OF
Thursday we learn that Judge Sever
ance, who had the mandamus case
nearing in hand at New Ulm couple
OF weeks ago, has reached a decision,
which is favorable to the demonstrators
in the contest for county seat removal.
The Judge denies the mandamus asked
for by the petitioners on the ground
that the notices of meeting of the COM
missioners were posted bnt eight DAYS
IN two of the towns, whereas the law
requires that they shall be posted ten
days. The decision also contains an
opinion in regard to the question as to
whether TWO weeks publication re-
quires three insertions or not.
This decision leaves the only appeal
OF The petitioners to the supreme court,
and if they should conclude to carry
their case thither and be quashed as in
the Scott county case, the Brown
county courthouse disturbance can
well be considered at an end.

soft and pleasing strains of the waltz or

glide along the floor, apparently in the
happiest feeling. At twelve o'clock,
supper, such as Mr.. Schmucker alone

tWixt the hours Of four and five.

A DOuble Statue,

Among the curiosities at the Paris ex-
position was statue representing the
legendary German heroine Marguerite.
Viewed from the front, it presented no
unusual appearance, but when placed
before large mirror the reflection from
the back of the Statue showed the image
of Marguerite's lover, Faust, standing, ap-
parently, just behind her.
This remarkable effect was obtained by
ingeniously carving the features and fig
ure of Faust in the back of the original
statue. The face was formed by the hair
of the statue, and the same arms an
swered for both figures, in one case be-
ing held in front, and in the other
crossed behind the back. The folds
of the robe of Marguerite at the back
We're modelled so as to form the fig
ure of Faust, and it is to be noted that
the Illusion was only perfect when viewed
in a mirror If the back of the statue
was observed directly, the secondary fig
ure was not so evident The statue is a
most remarkable example of the sculp-
tors art, and indicates an unusual amount
of artistic and mechanical talent

Victor f. Lawson, the proprietor of
the Chicago Daily News, which is con-
sidered, in many respects. to be the best
edited newspaper in the United States,
and which is certainly one of the most
successful papers in the country, ex-
presses the following views as to what
should constitute true newspaper: Il
am believer in impersonal journalism.
Running a newspaper on that line is far
more satisfactory and effective, | think,
than with signed articles. Another
thing l advocate is the complete divorce
of the counting-room from the editorial
department. The men in the editorial
room should not know anything about
the business relations of the paper with
any firm or corporation, and the count
ing-room should not interfere in any
way with the publication of news By
that system the paper becomes known as
sincere and honest in news publications
and editorial utterances, and gains the
respect and confidence of the public.

Lit3rarY Clubs.


All over the far West there is a truly
remarkable literary movement 1t is
shown by the great number of libraries,
literary clubs, Shakespeare societies,
Browning societie and historical socie-
ties, that are coming into existence, not
merely in the more central States, such
as Ohio, Indiana. Illinois, Kansas, Min
nesota, and Wisconsin, but in Oregon,
Washington, Dakota, California, Texas,
and Missouri. This movement was power
fully accelerated by the Chautauqua sys-
tenn, but has now acquired strength
enough in many States to advance with
out external aid.
The smaller country colleges have been
constantly widening the range of their
enlightening influence. There are many
such in Ohio, Indiana, and elsewhere,
which go along in their quiet unnoticed
way, helping young men to an education
by simply being near where they live.
Many farmers son can go to college if
the institution is within half days ride
of his fathers house who could not en-
joy this advantage if he had to make long
and expensive journeys every year and
live where he could not earn any part of
his expenses The vacations spent in the
paternal fields at homo may go some
way toward making the college educa-
tion a possibility.
But, besides this, each of these institu-
tions is likely to have among its corps of
instructors persons of genuine culture
and nobility of mind. Around them the
moro liberal minds naturally gather, and
all kinds of good influences are exerted.
Clubs are formed, initiated, multiplied,
and thus the benign modern spirit is fos-
tered and diffused. Finally, too, societies
are formed which unite persons who
desire knowledge as we'll as literature,
and societies that nodestly discuss the
living questions of the time.
Suppose the ladies of Indianapolis do
style their literary club "The Indianapolis
Propylaeum!" What was Athens when
Pericles caused that magnificent portal to
be placed at the entrance to the acropolis :?
A city containing smaller population
than that of indianapolis, and not tenth
part as large as Chicago's mighty mass
of human beings Its public revenue was
trifling indeed compared with that of a
fourth-rate city Of to-day.
Yet of all the cities that ever existed
within the borders of Europe, Athens is
the dearest to the civilized man, and it
holds that place in the affection and pride
of our race because few men once lived
