Cultivating Potatoes.

It is true that potato field should
have been so thoroughly cultivated
and cleaned from weeds before the
blossoms appear that no deep stirring
would be needed. Deep cultivation
and pulling of large weeds from the
hills late in the season is unfavorable
to large yield, as many feeding
roots are broken or badly disturbed.
Such deep cultivation OF corn or other
crops is also injurious Shallow, surface
cultivation is usually advisable till
the crop is too large to drive amongst
with team. II one has neglected his
potatoes till the ground is overgrown
with weeds and the crop is in bloom,
it becomes aquestion which to choose
Of the TWO evils, and one should use
the best judgment at command. De-
stroYing the weeds will injure the
crop, but letting them alone may in
Jure it more. l never intend to get
caught in such scrape II l did

ishmenL In cultivatfng potatoes or
other hoed crops one should do all the
cultivation possible before planting.

from weeds as possible. Then Guilt

Cultivate more and more shallow as
the season advances When the
weeds are all killed by early cultiva-,
tion there is no call for any but the
shallowest stirring possible, just
enough to keep the surface from

Shade for Stock.

Stock Of all kinds are not unlike
mankind in some respects, and seek
the shade whenever possible during
the extreme heat Of summer, says the
American Agriculturist To crafty
this desire, shade should be provided
wherever practicable, and the cheap
est manner OF doing this isAthrough
the medium Of shade trees One or
two should be set out in each pasture,
and be protected by fence until
thoroughly established II the field
be titled, set the trees along the south
line, selecting those of rapid growth
and spreading branches II they be
fruit trees, they should be trimmed
to height Of at least seven feet, and
then allowed to branch out While
the trees are growing, it would be
simply humane to provide temporary
shelter of some kind, such as setting
a few posts and covering with poles,
upon which are thrown branches of
evergreens, or even limbs Of oak or
other trees in full leaf This will az
ford a useful shelter, and II Iocated
upon a knoll or other naturally poor
portion OF the field, it will thoroughly
enrich the soil. BY changing its posi-
tion yearly, various portions OF the
field will be benefited. All this takes
but a little time, and can be done
when other work is not pressing. BY
boarding up, late in the summer, the
side from which the prevailing Winds
blow. a fair protection from the
chilling blasts will be obtained. and
the stock will return you the cost

A Fire Swept State.

A gale which swept over Ne

before 1t great billows Of fame
which swept from thousands Of
fertil acres every vestige of yege-

idea how much the exact damage
is, for the places most affected
are remote from telegraph lines
and in those that have means Of
communication, the populace are
busy fighting the fire. Much
grain, and hay, together with
many bridges, are licked up. A

The following letter received
j1om an attorney in Washington
relative to the status Of the Nez
Perce depreciation claims, is self
explanatory.
w NJ KNOX JR,
Mt, Idaho, Ida.
Dear sir:
Yours OF the 14th and 28th
ult, were both duly received,
and | will now explain the cause
Of my delay in answering.
s J ust when ! received the first,
a case was tried in the case and
was tried in the court and sub
mitted involving jurisdictional
questions applying to all of the
Idaho claims. 1t was the case
of Sam'l. Marks and Hyram
Wollenberg Of Malhaur Co. Ogn.
for property destroyed by the
Piute and Bannock Indians in
their raid in June 1873.
The Attorney General main
tained that these Indians were
at the time not in amity with
the United States, but were at
war with the government, and
that by the wording of the act
of congress giving the court ju-
risdiction of "all claims for prop
erty of citizens of the United
States, taken or destroyed by In
dians belonging to any band,
tribe or nation, in amity with the
United States without just cause
or provocation on the part Of the
owner agent in charge, and not
returned OF paid therefore" The
court had no jurisdiction over
claims for property destroyed by
bands of Indians who were at
the time on the war-path.
The court rendered its decision
nearly q month ago, and sent it
to the printer; but they revised
it several times and / could not
get to see it or get copy until
yesterday. The opinion is quite
long. The subsistence of it is,
that Piutes and Bannock bands
of Indians were not in amity
with the United States at the
time the depredations were COM
mitted, and therefore the court
has no jurisdiction of the claim
and the court dismissed the PEI
tition,
The case will be promptly ap'
pealed to the United States SUI
preme court, where we hope tC
get it reversed. If that decision
shall be offered by the supreme
court it will rule out all of ths
Idaho claims, as they are all the
same chracter.
We all think the decision i!
unjust and erroneous, but yor
can see how we are placed
We dare not submit auy othel
until the Mark case is acted OF
by the supreme court, becaus'
the decision would certainly b.
adverse. Our only show is Il
wait events, and save our case
If we can. But we may have t,
wait two or three years, unless
we can get the law amended b.
the next congress; which w
shall try to do. We have gooc
many Idaho cases ready for prin
ting; but to print them at pre-
sent will be useles expense ant
work, However, we may ge
some other case tried, covering
the question as to jurisdiction
where only part Of tribe wer
on the war-path, but it seems t
me that the decision in tn
Marks is so broad that the rul
held will exclude nearly all dep
relation claims. AS Mt. Idah
