BURBANK CLASS.

the French are pushing forward rapid
ly, so that the potato display at the
recent Paris agricultural show was con-
sidered the most notable exhibit.
In America attention has been direct
ed rather to the production of new va
rieties than to improvement by selec-
ton within variety. These new va
rieties are produced every year, and
when one is grown that has some quail
ity which makes it superior to preced-
ing sorts, it is sure to find foothold
with potato growers and so takes it's
place as market variety in the class
to which it belongs.
Most of these varieties are the prod
uct of careful crossing of the best sorts
and the gradual development of the re-
sulting seedlings. When one is pro-
duced that possesses such character
istics as to separate it from all it's pred
ecessors, it becomes the founder of a
new class. Each variety derived from
It, and resembling it more or less, is
given a name to distinguish it from
other varieties, but all belong to the
same class, so that while growers rec
ognize both variety and class, dealers
acknowledge class only.
The four principal classes are the
Burbank, Hebron, Rose and Peerless,
the three first being for fall and win
ter use and the last for spring and

The union officer had turned mis-

watching the colonel, for he was but
one hundred yards distant.

the arms of the officer were thrown
wildly in the air; he reeled, recovered
himself and then fell from the saddle.

A few minutes later we reached the

federal troops were hurrying forward
to avenge their officers death. We
reached the fallen man, and with one
loud cry Col. Maddox threw himself
upon the PROSTATE form, exclaiming:
"Great God, forgive me! / have
killed my own brotherl''
Never shall / forget the look upon
poor Harvey's face as he looked upon
the cold, upturned girlish face of his
brother George.
Come, Harvey, we must away, or
we will be taken!" ] said, and / drew
him from the sad scene, and not mo.
ment too soon, for the balls were fall
ing thick around us.
We reached the other side, and the
face of the poor colonel was hardly
recognizable to those who had known
him so full of life.
Not word of this, colonel. Moth
er, father, sister, must never know by
whose hand he died. This is indeed a
war of brother against brother"
The next day our regiments were or
dered to different fields of action, and
through the whole war continually
heard of the reckless daring of Col
Maddox.
