1t is a standing marvel TO some of the
friends of Florida why her farmers do not
raise more Irish potatoes. They are al
ways a cash article in the state, seldom, if
ever, worth lees than one dollar bushel,
and it is a very poor farmer and very poor
land hat will not produce at least fifty
bushels of marketable tubers per acre at an
expense of $25.-Fruit Grower.
Perhaps many of the farmers are like a
lot of colored ones hereabouts few years
ago who planted the "Murphey's" world
without end but did not realize the figures
they anticipated. So they went out of the
business and ever since have starved the
stomacbs of their whole family. If at first
you don't succeed, try, try again.

matter has no direct Importance
for the English consumer of seal
skins, to whom it matters nothing
whether the skins are obtained
from Canadians or Americans, and
says:
The controversy only concerns

treats us as a commercial enemy.
These colonies are always embroil-
ing us in foreign disputes. We are
obliged to fight their battles, while
they treat us as a foreign power.
How long is this to last ? A few
more troubles like the Behring sea
controversy will compel us to face
the problem and seriously ask our
selves whether the present relations
between the mother country and
the colonies are quite fair to the
British taxpayer"
