HARVESTING AND sroarNa porArors.

HARVESTING AND STORING PorArors.
That potatoes require even more care
mar grain IN harvesting, is verified BY a
.ong experience. Unless the soil is very
peavy u wet, digging should never be-
Gone early in the fall. Potatoes should
remain in the ground until the vines
have become dead, and, if the weather
Is warm and dry, they should remain.
still longer. OF course there are excep-
tons as when blight withers the vines
and extends down to rot the TIMERS.
Then the crop should be harvested and
stored IN a dry, cool place as quickly as
Provided normal conditions exist, and
there is no disease in the crop, potatoes
for winter storing should remain undue

'tober. II possible, harvest when the

toes from the ground. One reason why
potatoes should be left in the ground
until fully ripe is to tougher their ten,
der skins to ebviate, easy abrasion, but,
tof course. the principal reason therefor
is that the tubers may become thoroughly
mature, SO as to be a healthful, nutri,
tious food.
The potato tubers should not be al
lowed to burn in the sun, or their fine
flavor will be destroyed. The croE
should be handled as little as possible
to prevent abrasions that do irreparable
injury. 1t is always the best plan to do
the asserting in the field when the tu-
bers are gathered. Place the merchan.
table potatoes carefully in crates, or
baskets, never throw them roughly in,
and do not take them from these recep-
tacles until they are put in the bins in
the cellar. The mode, practiced by
some farmers, of pouring them into a
wagon box in the field, from which they
are shoveled into a chute, whence they
side into the cellar, is ruinous to their
keeping qualities, and should never be
practiced.
The cellar, or store room, should be
dry. well ventilated, and cool. Do not
mass the potatoes together in big bins,
they will sssweat'' the sam as hay or
grain when in bulk. and will heat and
rot if there is no ready escape for the
moisture. To store potatoes in pits to
remain until spring, select a dry elevated
spot, and, whether buried below the
surface, or covered above the ground,
always leave a free space over the pota.
toes for the evaporation of moisture.
Potatoes thus kept will not sprout dur
ing the winter .-American Agriculturist.

WHEN BUYING FERTILIZERS.

Farmers should bear in mind that the
tscommercial valuation" is not the only
thing to be taken into consideration in
buying a fertilizer, says the Rhode ISL
and Station. To illustrate: Nuppose
that the crop and soil demand largely
phosphoric acid and potash and little
nitrogen, thGa fertilizer with a high
percentage of nitrogen, but low in the
other elements, would be of little value
to the farmer, however high its COM
mercial value might be. The question
is not how many pounds of fertilizer for
the money, but how much potash, phos-
phoric acid and nitrogen and their form.
This question involves in a great meas
ure the profits and losses in New Eng
land farming.-New York World.

A Blaze.

An alarm of fire last night about iO:3O brought out the fire depart inert and large number of citizens to the vicinity of Grafs blacksmith shop. The blaze started in a frame house near the corner of third street on the south side of Fremont and burned three cabins before being quepched. They were not of much value and unoccupied. The Rescue company was first at hand and with a stream of Huachuca water soon had control ofeverything in reach. Engine Company also had a stream on soon afterward. The heavy wind of the afternoon had subsided, else the re- suit would have been a more distruc- tive blaze.

 Suffering out, N-n-nutbin l. less t-than a d-d-dollar g-g-goes, Jerry proceeded with the collection. shaking the improyised contribution box, thus rattling the coin to stimulate further contributions. By the time he had reached those in the rear portion of the hall, numerous "adobes" as the Merican dollars then in circulation were called, had found their way into the old hat, when suddenly, under the influence of an extra vigorous shake on the part of Jerry, a rip, crash of coin, and the crown of the old hat fell to the floor, leaving naught but the rim in the hands of the irrepressible Jerry. who. after gathering up the coin, advanced to the front. dumped tho "adobes" and instinctiveiy "sized up the stacks" thus ascertaining that the sum total of the collection amount ed to Sl03.
 The Doxology was then rendered with great effect, Bro. Brown, with one eye fixed upon the shining stacks of ''dobes" before him, ihrew great emphasis into "Praise God from whom all blessings fow", and thus ended the first services at Charleston.

Military Move.

The Los Angeles Express says that report has reached the headquarters of the Department of Arizona, tha; the 10th regiment in this department is shortly to be ordered away. Tbis regimenti is composed of colored troops who are distributed over many of the posts of Arizona and New Mexico. It is believed that the Eth Regiment now at Fort Riley in the Department of the Missouri, will be ordered to take it's place.
 In conversation with Major Whit side to-day, he stated that he did not take any stock in the report. The 7th regiment is being split up, a good part of it going to Chicago. The under standing in army circles is that the 9th regiment with headquarters az the Platte, will relieve the 10th, and orders will be issued in day or two looking toward that change.

Taken for a Crank. |.

A semI-hendish delight often seems to possess people of strong nerves in sneering at those with weak ones
 The irritsbility of the nervous hypo- chondriac is ridiculed as natural i'll temper. The very genuine and dis dressing symptoms from which he suffers are made light oi. He" or "she is a crank" is the cheerful sort of sympathy with which the nervous invalid meets from the unfeeling and the thoughtless. At the same time no complaint is more defined and real none has 8 more easily explsinable origin when it is chronic. Imperfect digestion and assimilation are always accompanied by nervous debility and anxiety. Build up the powers oi as- similation and digestion with Hostel ter's Stomach Bitters, and nervous symptoms, sick headaches and gen. erally feeble condition of the system are remedied. Remember that fear full ravages are produced by la grippe among weakly, nervous people. Hos
 tetter's Stomach Bitters cures it, and prevents malaria, rheumatism and kidney complaint. .

A Pioneer.

Major Whitside; who has been wis iting Tombstone for the past fortnight left today for Tucson where he will remain few days before returning to Fort Riley. The Major reduced the first ore from the Tombstone district in 1878. He constructed a rude smelter and put through four tons of ore from the surface of the Grand Central. He shipped the bar of bull lion to San Francisco and realized $lOOo for it. Twenty per cent of the value of the bar was gold which goes to prove that the rich gold ore now be ing taken from below water level is nothing new. Some of the richest gold ore ever produced in Arizons was taken out of the Head Center, and at water level there is said to be plenty of it, by those who worked in the mine. Major Whitside believes tha: there is a great future Tn store for Tombstone district. which he thinks will, ere many months roll round, eclipse the record made in its palmiest days.
