ETGeo. Russell, the present Republican
reform (l) county auditor, is sPHring no
words trying to convinee The people that he
Is making model county Official and il mnch
more capable and honest than his predeces-
sors. We have heretofore pointed out many
errors which hare occurred in the auditors
ofies since MR.. has taken charge and
might fill our paper with them II We were so
minded, bat "A this particular time wish only
TO call the attention Of our readers to few
mistakes he has made in the duplicates he
has Just turned over TO Treasurer GroIl, be-
cause they are similar to the one which oc-
Cured in Mr.. Holterman's time and which
Russell is trying to besmirch the character of
Mr. Holtermau with.
On page 8. in duplicate No. 2, Monroe
township taxes, The abstract footing show
$49s.75, while the duplicate footing is only
S3ll 81; which shows that the. treasurer is
charged $1s6.Ss more than the duplicate
shows; then on page SO, duplicate No. /,
abstract footing is $4S2.27, while the dupli-
cate footing Is S4lS,s6, which shows S1S.4l
more charged on abstract than the duplicate
showp; and still on page 55, duplicate No. l,
the abstract footing shows S1,166sS, while
the duplicate footing is SI,169.9S And
there are no doubt many more errors of this
kind, but we only mention these to show the
people that our great reform (O auditor is
susceptible to error, as well as all human
flesh is. -ss. .t.fntt
Now, we do not charge that these errors
are made purposely, as he does in the case of
his predecessors, but would rather suppose
they were not, as we know they were not in
the case of Mr.. Holterman or Mr.. Eyers. But
"Interliner's" figures look little suspicious
and as though he intended them to make Mr..
Groll some trouble. His actions toward the
retiring treasurer were malicious, dsmnable
we might say, and it behooves the new treas
urer to be on his guard. These fellows who
are continually trying to make their neigh

The old discussion as to the quantity
of seed potatoes needed to plant an
acre is a seemlnSl y lnterminaple sub jeCt.
j he latest addition to it is from the In
diana experimental Station, which found
much the best resultsfrom planting VIII ole
potatoes. The variety planted was the
Burbank, and only marketable potatoes
were used as seed. OF these it requires
seventy bushels to plant an acre, while
with one eye in a hill seven bushels
suffced. The potatoes were planted one
loot apart IN drilis,the rows being three
feet apart. The whole potatoes yielded
3Sl bushels of marketable tubers and
III bushels of under-size tubers. The
single eyes yielded 1913 bushels of large
potatoes and only twenty-nine bushels
not marketable. Alter deducting seed
there was n gain for the whole potatoes
Of 2iJ bushels over those planted with
one eye, and of 1870 bushels of market
able potatoes over those with two eyes
III q hill.
1t is quite evident that where whole
potatoes We're planted, the hills were
over crowded. This is shown by the
large quantity of small tubers. But IT
is equally certain that of the eyes on
the whole potato not more than half
grew, those most forward taking the
bulk of the substance of the potato be-
fore the others started. Why not adopt
the obvious logic of this experiment by
planting whole potatoes with all save
two or three of the strongest buds dug
out? In case the potatoes had sproutcd
badly, as they are apt to do late III the
season, the best bud or eye to grow must
naturally be one that had not yet started.
BY digging out the others and turning
all the potatoes to the development of
these late eyes, they will be forced into
more vigorous growth,a make a larger
crop than is possible from eyes whose
vitality has been weakened by growing
prematurely.
The same result might be attained
with half the seed by cutting the potato
in two pieces, digging out all save three
of the best eyes of each. Three eyes
or even two will furnish plenty of
haulm for the potato crop. Some times
under favorable condltIons.one eye Will
send out three or more stalks. In such
cases, two or three eyes will give too
much vine and too many unmarketable
tubers. 1t is not easy for those unfa-
miliar with potato growing to Judge
what eyes are sure to produce strong
shoots. Varieties differ much, some
having the eyes very prominent, and
others nearly as prolific having the eyes
sunken. Only practice IN the field and
careful observation can make potato
planting a success.

RURAL TOPICS.
INFORMATION FOR THE HUS-
BANDMAN AND HOUSEWIFE
Some Practical Suggestions for the Farmer,
Stock-Brreder, PouIterer, Nurseryman,
and Housekeepers.
TIE FARM.

LII any branch of farming is to WELD a
profit there must be intelligent applica-
ton of good sound common sense, and
IN no part of agricultural economy is
tins more necessary than in feeding
animals. Concentrated food, such as
corn meal, cotton and linseed neal. fine
feed, bran and other cereal products,
are too expensive to be fed in a hap
hazard way that may or may not bring
the desired result! The greatest source
of waste lies IN the wide spread misun-
derstan ding on the part of farmers as to
the composition of the various foods
and their different effects after feed
ing.
The man who feeds corn meal to grow
ing calves and laying hens Is throwing
away money. simply because he is fur
nlshlnS costly food that is not needed,
While the same money spent for oats,
bran. and middlings would have been
wisely expended. In the first place, W e
must find out what We want, whether
growth pure and simple, or growth witt
dairy products, or simply milk and but
ter. Then it is surely the part of wisdom
to lind out what foods, frcm their COM
position, will most ecomically yield the
desired results.
Then comes the question, how much
ing with neighbor recently regarding g
the enormous yields of butter which GER
tain Jersey COWS have given, ] heard again
the common remark, "0h, yes, but those
COWS are fed high" Well, should not
be surprised f tLey Were fed literally
and it strikes me that it would be poor
policy to feed a COW, capable of pro-
ducing 9l5 pounds of butter in a year.
on grass and dry hay alone. We know
the animal to Ue machine for convert
ing raw products into something better
and the more of the cheaper raw ma
terlal it can turn into the finer product
the better.
The limit only is reached with the
animals ability to digest and assimilate
the food. The agricultural books and
papers are well supplied with tables
showing the percentage of albumin ODDS,
etc, possessed by the various animal
foods. These tables are rarely read by
telligible to him. 4 more highly APP
preciated classification would be into
percentages of flesh forming clements
(bone, muscle, tissue) and fat forming
elements. In whatever way they are
arranged, however, the farmer must
make himself familiar with their COM
position and effects if he would feed
intelligently and profitably, and he must
remember that just enough food to sup
port life brings no return. It is the
extra feed beyond this up to the cows
or other animals capacity TO digest it
that brings the profit. Webb DGnReU

quality that leads one to avoid an I'M

clent king had enGrayen as n motto in

unless the loss of some possession leads
To the more serious iloSS of temper.
Here, indeed, is a loss that reacts on
the person and the family, in more or
