POTATOES.

How Forty-Two Tons can be Produced
On an Acre.
Salt Lake Tribune.l
Chambers Journal gives descrip-
ton of how to raise potatoes as prac-
ticed BY a learned gentleman farmer
in France. This farmer, who is also
a distinguished chemist, has been con-
Quoting experiments with potatoes,
and has succeeded At last in produce
ing for.y>two tons Of subers to the
acre. The plan he adopts is after all
very simple. First, the ground is dug
or plowed to q very great depth aud
we'll fertilized. Then he uses nothing
but the very best and most carefully
selected seed. Before planting, the
seed potatoes ere soaked for twenty.
four hours in mixture composed of
sa!tpeter and sulpbate of ammonia,
six pounds OF each salt to twenty five
gallons of water. After this soaking
the tubers are allowed to drain, and
they then stand for twenty >four hours
longer in order that the germs have
time to swell, and then are planted.
II would not be very expensive ex-
pertinent for some farmers in this
valley to try. and it they could get
four or six acres product out OF one
acre it would pay them for little
extra trouble.

OHINA's sAoRaD BIRD.
He Never Came from an Egg, Says
the Cinnamon.
From the San Francisco Eramtner.


From the SdR Francisco Examiner
The steamer Gaelic. from China, the other
day brought to San Francisco a novel cargo
for the Chinese New Years tables. At the
festive season Of the Mongoi no oriental
delcacy can be deemed too rare for the pro-
longed Ieasts-not even half-sacred ON
Chung, the bird that springs from a worm
and becomes beautiful and dies in year.
A lot OF these feathered beauties formed the
unusual importation mentioned. Several
crates OF Chinese make, contracting 1900 Of
these birds, were landed on the dock and
Immediately removed to O restaurant on
jackson street and Bartlett alley. in the
Chinese quarter. The arrival caused no
little excitement among the Cinnamon ,
for it is seldom 30 many Of the priced
birds are seen in this country.
The birds will be fed and well cared for
until the new year holidays open next
month. and then they will be sold at fancy
prices for bauquets and epicureau feasts.
They are apparently variety of the quail
species, though very small in comparison 20
the California quail. In size they are even
smaller than snipe, and come nearest the
robin. Their feathers are smooth and
dainsily marked-lgbs seal brown with
speckles OF white and black, and here and
there a streak of white on q shadow deeper
than the prevailing brown. They are dap
per little fellows. nervous TO excess and full
OF life-so much 80, indeed, that sportsmen
would call them game birds. Not for a
second will they keep quiet in the crate, but
are always moving and chirruping, picking
and futtering. About their origin the
| Chinese have woven pretty legend, which
| in time has been accepted as truth.
A year or two ago the fish commissioners
| imported 900 dozen and turned them loose
in differed parts OF California, but not a
bird liYed-a fact taken by the Chinese as
| positive proof that the legend is correct.
Him never breed, ~ declared Chinaman
| yesterday, in his desire to tell the wonder
| full story of ON Chung.
Him never breed. No bird like him.
Never come from the egg, but from fish,
| and he die in ten months"
| With the Chinese evolution is part Of re-
| ligion, so there can be nothing strange in
| surprising that the bird was evolved from u
! worm-via a flying fish.
| AS the story goes, the ON Chung, OF Chi
| nese quail, is never seen from September 10
| the July or August of the following year.
| Meanwhile he is dead, his tribe is extinct.
! When the summer comes there is q fish that
| inhabits oriental lagoons and rivers with
an irresistible desire to fly onto the land.
| Once on shore in the marshes he becomes q
bird, and finally blossoms out as myriads OF
| pretty quail While in this stage he is
| caught In miles of netting set for him as
| traps, and Il month later he Is gone.
| Him live about seventeen months
never louger'n tenn added the talkative
| Chinese. willing to parade his English. al
