Els SIX WEEKS ARCTIC SPREE.
Finding Something That Tastes Nat

rlnOlng something That Tastes Nat
ural Where Loast Expected.
From the San francisco Examiner.
"Do you remember when a whole feet of
whalers was lost in the Arctic, about four
teen years agop' said James Hanna. one of
the survivors of the Elizabeth. "WeII. !
was up there in whaler the next season.
and came across relics of that big disaster
In very strange and interesting way. A
bOatload of US went ashore at Point Bar
row for some purpose, and it sort of struck
me that I'd rather see little of that coun-
try than go back TO the ship just then. So
slowed myself away among the rocks, and
when my mates got ready to pull back to
the ship they couldn't find me. |
don't suppose they cared much, because
they didn't fool away great deal of time
looking for me. After they left | struck
out inland, and pretty soon lit on a native
village.
The Injuns were pretty decent chaps
and meant we'll, but they weren't fixed for
entertaining visitors in first-class STYLE
They couldn't speak English, and heir lingo
was Dutch to me. but we agreed between
US by signs that it was about time to pine
all hands to the galley, and they brought
me two fathoms of jerked meat It was a
bit too strong for my taste. Then thew due,
up some blubDer and other stuff that would
make good slush for a mast, but it didn't
hit my fancy and let on that wasn't very
hungry after all
when it was time to turn in they led
me into hut and showed me a pile of flrs
that didn't look SO ALFRED clean. That
was to be my bunk, and, after a few
months in the fo'castle, [ was kicking about
little dirt and grease. The hut was full
of women, and | thought I'd sit up until
they left. When l got sleepy and yawned
they told me to turn in, but wanted to be
polite a ID wait until the ladies had gone
home. They didn't seem to be in a hurry.
and pretty soon they shucked off all their
buds and rolled themselves up in their furs.
| wasn't going to be outdone in politeness
by lot Of Injun ladies, and SO l lust
peeled off my clothes and went to bed.
" In the morning got up fesling little
rocky. Ny stomach was empty and the
air in the hut was thicker than molasses.
The thought of that two fathoms of ierked
meat made me sick, and began to think |
had made blooming big mistake in my
expedition. One of the head men poked his
nose into the hut and made signs that were
painfully like an invitation to have a cock
tail with him. | tumbled out of the rugs
and got into my clothes. blushing like a
rose, because the ladies were looking at me-
and the whole gang of US padded out across
country to a stretch of sand beach.
81 wondered what blooming game was
up, not being able to see what was the use
of toddling out there before breakfast, out
one of the men, who had a walrus tusk IN
his hand, gave me bleGry wink and began
scraping away the sand with his foot. Two
or three inches below the surface he uncov-
cred the bung and part OF the bilge of a
cask. Thea he thumped the cask With the
walrus tusk, just as a water front barkeep
would handle buug s;arter, and when the

never improve. To this feature farmers
must turn their attention, and, by growing
more per acre at less expense, reduce the
cost, and realize profit.

While names have been multiplied be-
yond reason. and new sorts are constantly
1elng introduced, there are only few va
He.les that are common in our markets.
The list of named sorts in our American
catalogues foot up about 6 thousand, but it
would take an expert to discover any diff
terence In the larger number of them.
Here are certain marked types based upon
shape and color, dozen of which would
embrace nearly all the potatoes that have
oeen named thus far. As it is with men,
only a few potatoes in the hundreds in
uouuced attain to a national reputation or
p3ssess an enduring popularity. New va

high up as the 339-the line of Central
Georgla-most Of the planting for the first
crop Is made during the first half of Feb
ruary with a succession planting, if desira-
bic, along in March. Where it is desired to
keep up succession of young tender potatoes
1t Is good plan with the first planting to
use some of the early kinds, and some of
the late or medium kinds, and then later in
March make another planting of the latter.
Large crops of course cannot be made on
dry, shallow uplands, for the soil most
suitable to successful growth is a soil
naturally moist, but well drained, naturally
rich from the presence of humus and the
mineral elements, potash and phosphoric
acid. If the soil is not rich in these mate
rails it must be fully MANFRED, and if posi-
bic well in advance of planting to get any
thing like satisfactory results. Any where
from thirty or forty bushels up to 500 or 600
bushels per acre is what the product may
be depending on the available fertility of
the soil and the nature Of the cultivation.
A compost of cotton seed or stable manure
made up early so as to lose its rankness,
mixed up with fine bone dust, superphos>
phate or kainit or rotted ashes is manure
that will make potatoes If anything will.
Care must be exercised in applying manure
In the drill at the time Of planting, that
nothing be applied in such excess as to do
damage, and especially in dry spells that
are very likely. Too much rank stable
manure or two much kainit will have an iu-
furious effect on the Drop, as also too much
acid phosphate.
Strong compost should be applied two or
three months in advance of planting. and
the burrows should be plowed several times
before planting time. This will incorporate
the manure with the soil il fine telth for q
good crop. S. A. c.

Short Chapters on Vegetable Culture.
THE IRISH POTATO.

Twenty years ago outside of the little
patches in the home gardens cultivation of
the Irish potato amounted to very little
south of the 35th parallel of latitude. By
degrees the trucking business has been de-
veloped to such an extent since that time
until there are now thousands of acres de-
voted to its culture in South Georgia and
Florida, where twenty years ago perhaps
there was not hundred acres grown in the
same area.
The growing Of early potatoes for north
ern markets has become quite an industry
Some years proving very remunerative in
deed, and then again i'll others barely paying
back the amount expended on the crop.
Late frosts and spring drought, which is a
common occurrence in our latitude, affects
tie crop more or less two years out of three.
Uuless grown on rich, moist land and
highly cultivated, a large proportion of the
crop is likely to consist of small potatoes
that are not readily salable for table use.
Many failures aud much disappointment
have followed the attempt to grow potatoes
for market on thin, dry uplands that were
not at all suited to such a crop. Such land,
even when highly MANFRED, cannot do
much in the way of producing marketable
potatoes to any very great profit even when
the seasons are favorable. With an April
or May drought to contend with the results
usually will be quite unsatisfactory.
But on land that is perfectly adapted to
Irish potatoes there is no reason why they
should not be a profitable crop usually.
There are few persons who do not like
young Irish potatoes that come early in the
year, even though they may care very little
Tor them as an article of diet in the winter.
Few home gardens but what have their
potato patches.
