A Big Crop of Potatoes.

Some few practical farmers well I'M
derstand that much larger crop of po-
tatoes can be obtained when the manure
is of long, stringy character than when
well rotted manure or special fertilizers
are introduced, but this knowledge has
not yet spread to the vegetable grower,
critically SO called, according to Nee
hans Monthly, which says: Yet it is
amazing what an enormous crop of po-
tatoes may be produced by the use OF
such material. If any of our amateur
readers who want to excite the envy OF
their neighbors by growing superior
crops will cover the potato sets with
mere straw or some other kind of litter
several inches in depth before the earth
is drawn over them, they will certainly
have this personal satisfaction.
Draw out trench, say, four inches in
depth. put the potato sets about foot
apart, cover the whole Of this trench in
four inches deep with straw or litter
and then draw three or four inches OF
earth over it, and the product will be a
surprise. Not only are the potatoes large
and produced in enormous quantities
under this treatment, but the skins OF
the potato themselves have bright and
clear look, which makes them an object
of beauty as well as a desirable crop
from the purely vegetable point of view.

EGGS FOR MATCHING.
How to Obtain First Glass Hatch-Rules
For Mating-Egg Testing.

How to Obtain First Glass Hatch-Rules
For Mating-Egg Testing.
Toshave good eggs for Matching, either
in AM incubator or under hen, we must
first of all have good, healthy, vigorous
stock to produce the eggs. One very
vital point is to see that too many cocks
are not kept. Especially is this the case
where all the fowlsrun together. If each
cock has his own yard and hens, it is not
so important.
Exact rules cannot be given, but ap-
proximately the following from Lloyd's
s.Poultry Book" may be considered about
the right mating: Leghorns, Spanish,
Hamburg and Game, IS to 20 hens with
one good cock not less than is months
old, with best results. Plymouth Rocks,
10 hens with one cock. All the large,
heavy breeds. including Brahmas and all
the Cochin family, five to eight hens
with one cock.
= Some claim there is nothing as good
for nest as clean, sharp sand, for two
reasons-it soon cleans lice off of hens,
and eggs can never get dirty on clean
sand. N othing can come off the sand that
will stop the pores Of the she'll
Eggs for Matching should always be
carefully gathered twice day, and as
fast as laid in cold weather; should be
kept in cool place where it is neither
dry nor damp-thatis,d damp enough to
mildew or mold anything. A good eel
lar where the temperature is about so or
so is a good place. The proper position
in which to place them while being held
till wanted for setting is a disputed
point. Some say large end up, some
small end up, others ON side and turn
over daily. If they are not kept more
than a couple of weeks, it will make but
little difference which end is up.
Before the eggs are put in the incuba-
tor or under the hen they should be ex.
amined with an egg tester. All that Car
be done at this test ID to see if the eggs
are fresh and perfect. Nothing whatever
can be told about the fertility, but all
eggs that are not perfect shells and con
tents should be thrown out--any thai
have small specks Of any kind visible in
side, all with shells that appear cracked
allI!that have the yolk adhering to the
shells, those that have thin, rough shells
especially the large end. Use nothing
but perfectly shaped, clean shells if thu
best results are expected
Incubator manufacturers have ege

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

By the late election Delaware called q
Constitutional Convention. For twenty
four years she has been striving to achieve
that triumph, for in many respects the
Constitution of the little State is a misfit
for the age. 1t seems that III that COM
mOnwealth it is required that the vote for
constitutional convention must exceed
a majority of the highest vote cast for any
member of the Legislature voted for at
the same election. Under such a severe
requirement it has been found very diff
cult to effect needed constitutional
changes. Now that a convention has
been called, it is certain that Delaware
will provide easier means for amending
the organic law as whole. But let the
people of that State be careful not to fall
into the error of California. With us
there is nothing to prevent the Legis-
lature from proposing amendments to
the Constitution late in one week and or
dering an election upon them early in the
next week. Indeed, lawyers say that the
Constitution can be legally amended
within forty-eight hours after the passage
OF the necessary resolution. So too,
Delaware should be careful to confne her
new Constitution to the expression of
principles of government and human
rights, in the main. The mistake of the
times is in making constitutions codes OF
law. In twenty-one of the States of the
Union the Constitutions are really statute
books. Nothing complicates good legis-
lation more than to find the Constitution
under which it is proposed to be in itself
codiication of enactments.
The record-union., 1894-12-04

THE Postmaster General, in his report

very properly wants all this corrected,
and to have second-class matter so clearly
defined by Act of Congress that the evils
mentioned may be eliminated aud the
second-class privilege confined to genuine
newspapers. The case is so plain de-

CAPITAL REMOVAL,

The San Jose Mercury thinks that State
division is question now upon US, and
points to an organization in San Diego to
push it as evidence of determination to
begin the fight now. The Mercury finds
most conveniently way out OF the issue,
namely, removal of the Capital to San
Jose. 1t says:
There are abundant evidences that we will
soon be called upon to face the question OF Stale
DIVISION, not merely as chronic complaint
IN the southern counties, but as an issue of
practical politics. Ii is even probable that it
Will engage large part of the attention of the
next Legislature, Tor IL seems that the leaders
ia the movement intend 10 force it to the
'front.' oy every means IN their power. = <
1t viii not be forgotten that the idea OF State
DIVISION was largely abandoned When it was
proposed TO move the State Capitai to San
Jose, and tais fact suggests the permanent SET
tlenent OF the question by locating the Capt.
tai here where 1t viii be in the center OF the
State. The coast route Will soon be opened
ana san Jose viii then be in such close and
direct communication with the richest and
most popuIOuS OF the southern counties that
the location of the Capital here would remove
all cause OF complaint or rivalry between the
northern and southern counties and the
cIamOr for State division would cease and
California not only remain undivided but un-
disturbed by any sectional differences among
her people.
What very pretty heads-and-tails
game this is, to be sure. If there is any
real, urgent and determined movement
on foot in the south end to achieve the di-
vision of California. let San Jose rest as
sured that removal Of the Capital to that
city will not put an end to the movement.
If the South wants State division, it is
not because Sacramento is the Capital and
San Jose is not. Nor will making the
latter the seat of government remove a
single reason advanced by the South for
division-not one. So far as the State di-
vision question is concerned, the location
of the Capital really has nothing to do
with it so long as it is anywhere north of
the Tehachapi range.
The Mercury need look for no aid from
the South for a capital removal scheme,
with the understanding that the South is
going to abapdOn its demand upon the
qualification of San Jose's ambition, even
if that consummation were at all likely
to be brought about.
