second Crop seed Potntocs.

The Sentinel farmer has marked sue
cess from the use of what is called
second crop potatoes from the South.
He gets the seed each year from that
section. \ description of this seed is
given by a correspondent Of the Country
Gentleman. He says:
THE gardeners plant the first crop i'm
March. and 10y July the vines are dead
and the potatoes are mature. They are
then dug and sold and the second crop
Is planted Immediately if the weather
permits. When the frost cuts down the
plants, say Nov l. the crop is dug. 1t
consists of half large and half small
potatoes: the former are sold and the
latter are kept for seed. 10 be planted
the next March and the next July If
placed in any ordinary cellar they keep
perfectly-nOt one is sprouted or shriv-
eled-and they grow off strong as soon
as put in the ground. They de- not come
up with two or three feeble shoots. like
Northern seed. but produce one shoot
only. whether planted whole or cut to
ono eye Each shoot brings from five to
eight tuberS, that are always large and
marketable. Thanks To the second-crop
seed. the grower gets 80 per cent. more
potatoes to the acre from his spring
planting and then gets a big second
crop extra Is IL any wonder that pota-
toes are driving everything else from
TIE UelQS near l<tASlAile.
Prom this city the growing Of second
crops is spreading To other parts of Ken
lucky and 20 the South. hut | have not
gathered from your paper that northern
growers. usually 50 entsrprising know
much about t. It NAV be that they
have never tried secoEd-crOp seed. and
IL Il not improbable that they could not
grow two crops on the same ground for
their potatoes keep green and growing
long after July: but they might by
planting in July. be able to get half
grown tubers by the time a heavy frost
falls. The value of the second crop seed
IS almost certainly due 10 the fact that
when dug they are not mature They
have not reached old age, and the con-
seGuent tendency 20 sprout shrivel and
decay. They want to grow some more
and when planted they do Just as a boy
begins playing when awakened from
sound sleep.
I am convinced that when northern
farmers and gardeners learn the value
OF second-crop seed the potato yield Of
the country will be enormously increased

ring pests that cost us millions Of
money There is no way of preventing
these undesirable importations. All that
we can do is TO study their habits and

a successful warfare with them i'm our
fields. In this work our experiment sta
tions may help us by suggestions. but
the lighting must bc done by the farm

Rotation Of crops is the most effectuaI
barrier against tho increase of many
insects. For instance. there is the corn
root louise that is doing much damage
70 the farmers Of our state, They in
trench themselves in a field that is plant
ed continuously in corn. The remedy
consists in depriving them of their nat
ural food by seeding TO wheat or oats.
When the young are Matched ont and
fail TO find corn roots growing for them
millions are starved. So it is with many
wheat insects. If wheat be grown con-
tiaUousiy, or even twice in succession in
one field, the larvae Matched from the
eggs or a preceding brood are furnished
the best conditions for thriving. Their
natural food is at hand. Were il not for
of hat mo
practice in part al least our country
would soon be SO overrun with certain
pests that some grains and vegetables
could hardly be produced at all.
Rotation will not destroy some Of our
worst insects Take the cioverseed
nudge for example. The flying insect

Beside this the early clipping or pas
turing permits the second crop To start
earlier than usual. and the seed is
formed when the insects are not laying
eggs We instance these cases to show
that intelligent warfare can he waged
against many of our pests. In many
cases insecticides can be used. Paris

necessities in vegetable and fruit grow

Carnean.s IrnoonventionaIitv.

The sculptor Carpeau was always
a bohemian and generally absent
minded. Invited once to the fuller
les by Emperor Napoleon III and the
Empress Eugene, he pulled out his
pipe after dinner, filled it, and discov-
ing that he had no matches took a
scrap of paper, climbed on a chair
and lighted the pipe from, the great
chandelier above the table. "You
don't mind smoking, doyou, ma'am?"
he said to the empress. lie once ac-
cepted from a rich patron an order to
make a sculptured group represent
ing the Cyclops Polyphemus crush
ing the youth Acis under a rock.
Carpeaux had no sooner accepted
the commission than he regretted it,
for the subject had no destinations
whatever for him. He put the mat
ter off again and again, but was ur-
gently pressed to begin it by his
patron. At last one day Carpeaux
took the impatient patron to his stu
dio and showed him a great rough
block Of Uniformed clay. There is
your group, said the sculptor. MY
group? WhereF' Why, this is the
rock" That's all very well, but
where is Acis2" Under the rock

But where is Polyphemus2" "Oh,

OLD TIME BAKERS.
How They Were Punished For Bad Bread
and Food AduIteration.


The adulteration Of food has al
ways been punished severely, prob
ably more severely than any other
form of cheating, and the watchful
eye of the law has been directed moro
toward tho baker than to his fellow
tradesmen. At all times and in all
countries the slightest delinquency
on the part of the man who makes
cur daily bread has been visited with
exemplary punishment. During the
middle ages scarcely any spectacle
was SO pleasing to the people of cen
trail Europe as that Of the public pun
ishment of the cheating baker The
penalties inflicted ON swindling bak-
ers included confscation of proper
ty, deprivation of civil and other
rights, Punishment from the town
for certain periods, bodily punish
ment, the pillory and the ''gibbet."
If baker was found guilty of an
offense against the law, he was ar
rested and kept in safe custody till
tho gibbet was ready for him. 1t
was erected as nearly as possible in
the middle of the town, the beam
projecting over stagnant pool. At
the end of the beam was pulley,
over which ran rope fastened to a
basket large enough to hold a man.
The baker was forced into the bas-
ket, which was drawn up to the
beam. There he hung over the mud
dy pool, the butt Of the jeers and
missiles of a jubilant crowd. The
only way to escape was to jump into
the dirty water and run through the
crowd to his home, and if he did not
take the jump willingly he was some
times helped out of the basket by
means of pole.
In some towns a large cage was
used instead Of basket, and instead
of taking a jump the culprit was
lowered into the filthy pool and
drawn up again several times until
the town authorities thought he had
had enough. In some parts of Turkey
it was until recently the rule to pun
ish baker who did not give full
weight by mailing his ear to the door
post. If he were out when the off
GERS Of justice arrived, his son or his
servant was punished in his stead, as
the authorities were very much
averse to making their men do the
journey twice Ashton Reporter,

The Order of the Garter.

Lord Melbourne used to say that
there was only one order in the
world worth having, and that was
the Garter, because there was no
merit attached to it at all, and that
was what made it the first order in
Europe. And therein Lord Mel
bourne showed his usual shrewdness.
The distinction men love best is the
distinction which, instead Of making
a man distinguished, merely singles
him out as already being so distin-
guished that no reason needs to be
given for distinguishing him further.
The Garter practically says: Here
is the man whom every one will
agree to think distinguished. The
Garter receives distinction from him
rather than gives distinction to him.
And that is precisely the kind of
testimony which men covet most.
What they desire to think Of them
selves is that they do not need that
any external reason should be as
signed for the honor in which they
are held, that that honor is indeed in
evitable and is natural consequence
of their being what they are. ''Mer-
it' is something earned by effort and
labor. But what people love most is
distinction which is quite independ
ent of effort and labor, which is i'm
bedded in their nature, like genius or
manner or breeding. To be well bred
is not at o mans own command

sound, however, is by no means clear.
The labor problem in connection
with the railways is not different IN
character from the general labor
problem. One should not overlook
the fact that the question of the own
ership of railways by tho government
is primarily question of political or
ganization and not an industrial
question; and the recent riots afford
no reason for modifying ones views
on this point. The arguments for the
control of railways by commissions
and against ownership by govern
ment are the same now as before the
strike, and are as strong now as be-
fore the strike. In this regard the
situation is not changed.
The principle upon which reliance
should be placed for the solution of
railway problem, whether the evils of
unreasonable and discriminating
rates, or the evils of interrupted traffic
on account of strikes, force it upon
our attention, is the same. The ten
denoy toward consolidation on the
part of railways, and the tendency
toward organization on the part OF
labor, should both be recognized as
permanent tendencies of our times,
and some provision made by them in
law. This means, simply stated, the
Iegalization of pools and trusts upon
the one hand, and the legalization of
trades unions on the other, and the
determination by law of the conditions
under which they may perform their
appropriate functions. From "The
Railway Situation in the United
States" by Prof. Henry G. Adams,

Intermarriage In Germany.

Matrimony in Germany is a singu-
lar institution. There are SO many re-
strictiong, such a complement of for
malities to be submitted to that mar
rage is rather unpopular than other
wise. The prevailing idea is to keep
money in the family, and to attain
this end the people, so sensible and
level headed in many respects, are
willing to go any lengths. A man
may even have for his wife his
cousin, his aunt, his stepmother and
his sister-in-laW combined-he doesn't
care so long as he has hold on the
money, The number of marriages
among first cousins is countless and
the results appalling. How many
idioss there are in the fatherland 7
should not like to say. So that he
may keep the money in his family it
is quite a common occurrence for an
uncle to marry his niece, and a man
will sometimes wed his brothers
widow. The marriage knot does not
reauire any great effort in breaking
it in Germany. Chronic mutual dis
like and incompatibility Of temper
are sufficient reasons for divorce

London Stone.

"Most travellers while in London
pay a visit to London stone" said
Arthur Nesbit of Liverpool. '"This
historic stone is oblong in shape, OF a
grayish color, and is imbedded in the
slabs of the foundation of ST. Swith-
ms church, which is situated right
in the heart of the city. This stone
was erected by the Romans half a
century before the birth of the Sa-
viour as the central milestone of
point of their possessions in Britain.
From it all roads, divisions of prop
erty and distances throughout the
province were measured. It has been
recognized as the heart of England
from which all its arteries flowed
by every historian or antiquary
known to English literature, A feel
ing has always existed among Eng
lishmen about this stone, which was
not altogether superstition, that as
all distances were reckoned from it

of the stability of England. st.

Morris tribune., 1894-08-08

The public has asserted that the
transportation business is SO impor-
tant that the corporations owning the
railways shall not manage them in an
arbitrary manner; and the public
must also say to the leaders of organ
lied labor that their purpose of in
yolving the entire country in dis
putes respecting wages or conditions
of labor cannot be allowed. If the
corporations are obliged to recognize
in the management of their property
that the industry of transportation is
a public industry, the leaders Of labor
organizations must be forced to rec
ognize the same fact. This is a new
phase of the problem which the re-
cent difficulties have brought to
light.
The most natural conclusion from
the above statement of the case
would be that the government should
own the railways, and it is possible
that some who have heretofore doubt
ed the necessity of government own
ership are now inclined toward such
a policy. That such conclusion IS
