Spanish diplomats now propose home

Lewiston journal man ha. frequently
been asked what had become Of the potato
balls which were so abundant Il few Years
ago. He inquired Of several good farmers
but none of them could supply the infor-
nation until he met a progressive young
gardener in North Apson from whom the
information was obtained The old va
fieties. such as the Jacksons and other
coarse grained tubers, ran to great pro-
fusion Of blossoms and balls The He
brons and the more modern varieties have
no balls and several even dispense with
blossoms. This is high art in agriculture.
The vitality expended to the blossoms and
balls now goes into the potato with lust
so much earlier maturity. This is great
advancement. and is produced by SYSTEM

for year or two and th-n planting the
seed produced from the plants thus rob.

principle that hornless cattle are bred.

ing an Obstruction.
ApropOs of the projected Pan
American railway, it is to be noted
that not only is the first cost of rail
way construction i'll tropical cOun-
tries very heavy, but the annual
maintenance of way is expensive to
a degree which cannot be apprcia-
ted by those who have had no eX-
perience in this connection. The
AntiOquia railroad, in Colombia,
says Charles p. Yeatman, in the
Engineering Magazine, cost in a
single year, for repairs of track and
bridges, S2266 per mile. The Cauca
railroad, in the same year cost
$3S37 per mile. These two roads
are in Columbia, and are some
times mentioned either as future
feeders of the Pan-American rail
road, or parts of its main line. On
the AntiOquia road, if the under
growth were cut at the beginning
of the rainy season, less than two
months rain was sufficient to
form an arch Of green trees thirty
feet high, leaning over the track so
as to shade it completely.
The constant change from dry
ness in the day to soaking moist
ure at night, even in the dry sea-
son, would soon ruin the best of
timber, but nature furnishes a still
quicker means of getting rid of it,
in the shape of. an ant or wood
louise, which is careful not to mar
the outside of his dOmicile, but
will patiently honeycOmb the in
side, until what looks like a solid
welve-by-twelve stick is but a
shell from I to I inch thick, filled
with dust and ants. The native
timber suffered so intensely
from the inrOads of these
pests, that, upon hearing that yell
low pine was used in Panama to
avoid them, a trial of it was made
on by way of New York, at a cost
of nearly 500 per thousand feet,
board measure, when put in place.
When left there, the first of my
yellow pine trestles was being re-
placed. 1t had been built less
than four years.
