Facts About Potatoes.

The greatest potato producing state
in the union is New York, which de-
votes (round numbers being used in
all cases) $4,000 acres and raises
10000, 900 bushels or fully one
seventh OF the entire crop OF the
country. Iowa is second in amount
raised-17,O 900, 900 buahels-though
it's area, 1871 900 acres, is eclipsed by
the 2O3, 900 which Pennsylvania gives
to tn. rails ng OF rs, 600, 900 bushels.
Illinois comes next, both in area and
quantity of product, while Wisconsin
and Kansas cross each other for fifth
place.
The four New England states of
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and
Massachusetts, however, lead the
country i'm the number of bushels pro-
duced per acre, the average for the
four states being over 100 bushels AN
acre, which is attained by no other
states except remote Washington.
which promises to become one OF the
finest potato growing regions OF the
world.
1t Is thus seen that the cooler eli
mate of the northern states Is favor
able to this crop, as to many Others
i'm the list of standard food supply.
Indeed, the potato. as it is known
and appreciated today, cannot be-
successfully grown for any length Ci
i'm e in the warmer climates without
the introduction of fresh seed stock
from the higher ATTITUDES. The Ber-
muda potatoes. which come early III
the seIson to gladden. the heart cf the
housewife with rev potatoes are
grown from northern seed, which l.
regularly imported. while the product
OF the isl"ud itself is shipped back to
the markets of this country, and
especially OF the northern states.

annual political upheavals I was cap.
tured by savage mob known as the
Army of San Salvador and sentenced to
death. In the camp of my captors n
siX-pound gun was fired at high noon by
means of a sur glass, and to the muzzlo
of this antiquated smoothbore 1 was
strapped and left in the broiling sun to
await my fate. Now, have faced sew
eral kinds of death in my day, but that
knocked all the nerve out of me. ]

by the sun glass, but 1 knew that it was
creeping slowly but surely to the powder

blazing sun beat down upon my bare
head, binding me ard seeming to boil
the blood in my veins. 1 became hys-
terical, and prayed and cursed by turn.
"The great clock in the cathedral was
on the stroke of noon, aud knew that
the concentrated rays of the sun were
pouring squareIy upon the powder. The
troops were doing in the shade. A
few, awakened by the bell, raised up on
their elbows and watched me with lazy
interest, expecting every moment to see
me blown to shreds. Onc-two-thrce
-four-iive-git maddcning delibera-
tion came the strokes of the bell, when
suddenly harshcr note was heard-the
roar of muskctry. The camp was sur
prised and my capturers driven back.
