Rosemark, Tenn.

A. H., East Bend, n. C.-Wi you please
inform us through your paper something
on the culture OF the second potato crop?
We are told by Il. W. Wood, of Richmond
that by planting al early potato early, and
then plant from the new crop, that We can
raise a finer seed potato south than is raised
north. Now, what we are most ANXIOUS
to know is how the potato should be man
aged when the first crop is dug in order to
get the eyes to show signs of sproutng so
they will be sure to come up that is the
only trouble we have in raising two crops
on our piece OF ground. We southern far
merS need all the hints on farming we can
get, as we are compelled to spend annu-
ally considerable sums with the north
which should be kept in the south. Can
you also give some means of destroying
the beetle. that is SO fatal to potatoes? I
believe The Constitution is the favorite Of
the south. Please give us this information
a an early a date as possible

horse colt fifteen months old; eats hearty;

on corn and fodder One hip bone seems
to be lower than the other. Please give
cause and treatment if you can give
tried and sure receipt.
You do not say whether the colts hip
has been down from foaling. If so, it is a
congenital defect, for which there is no
remedy. If it has been caused by a blow or
strain it may be relieved by general consti-
tutional treatment. The first thing to do is
to get the colt in good healthy condition.
Change his food, Withholding corn entirely,
and substituting oats. Give green food,
a few potatoes occasionally, collard or cab
bage leaves. Scald his oats, and change to
bran mashes occasionally. Pasturing is
very desirable If his dung is particularly
offensive to the smell, give a purge of three
drains of aloes One-dram of ginger, one-half
dram of gentian, syrup or soap to form a
ball and place it on the back of his tongue,
the latter being drawn out and held until

potatoes is a very uncertain and unsatis..
factory business. There is no DOUBT OK
the fact that the tubers of the second crop
make better seed for northern use ana ana
they keep better for winter table use put
the difficulty lies in securing a stand: we
have tried often, and failed much oftener
than we succeeded We have been most
successful by the following plan: Save the
culs, or small potatoes, along during the
place. About the middle to last of July,
bed these potatoes as you would sweet
potatoes, selecting a rather shaded t,o
spot and covering the bed with thln
layer of leaves or straw. Water every DAY
or two, and examine frequently. Have tl;e
ground prepared by very deep blowing, in
the meantime. When the potatoes in the
bed have commenced to sprout freely, take
up the. sprouted ones and plant in deep
deep, or with two burrows. In eight or
ten days, strike off the earth if it appears
to be too deep. Continue to remove the
potatoes from the bed they sprout, and
plant them. If the rains come in August
and September, you will make a good
crop; if it should be dry, the yield viii be
small unless you mulch them heavily. we
don't think it pays-one year with another.
For potato bugs, sprinkle the plants when
wet with dew with London purple, or Paris
green, one pound to twenty-five pounds of
cheap flour. Or you may spray with
solution of either, at the rate of one pound
of the poison to 100 gallons of water. Hunt
for the eggs of the early borer, and fight
the first that appear with every means at
command.

1t is simply impracticable to tell the
cause of the lameness from your descrip
ton. 1t may be a strain Of the stipe joint

Examine carefully, tapping the foot in
every part with Il light hammer
or the handle of your knife, squeezing the
joints, etc, in order to locate the soreness.

be lameness of the hip. All lamenesses
may be safely treated with hot water and

4 SHIP CUT IN TWO.

Six of the Crew of the Oracle Benson
 Drowned in Boston Harbor-Tho Rest
 Had Narrow Escape.
 Boston, Nov. 2S.-The fishing schooner Oracle Benson, Captain Harvender, was run down in the harbor this morn- ing very early by the steamship Read ing and sunk.
 Six of her crew of eighteen were drowned. They are William Newcomb, Elijah Rogers and Edward Harvender, all of Provincetown; Fred Merritt of Digby, N. S.; John Rink, Portuguese, with no home, and another Portuguese of the name of August.
 The schooner Oracle Benson is one of the Provincetown fishermen and was on the way home from Boston. About 1 o'clock she had reached point be- tween Boston and Bug Light and was running directly before the wind. A steamship was sighted coming in head on directly for the schooner.
 When she failed to change her course at the last minute the schooner's helm was put hard to port, but 1t was too late, and the steamship ploughed into her at the cabin. She was cut nearly in halves, and sank almost immediate ly. So quickly did she go down that before all of the crew could be saved six of them went down with her.
 Captain John Harvender of the Ben son states that the steamship showed no inclination to slow down before the collision occurred, and it was in an eff fort to get out of her way that his schooner was struck. Captain Beed of the Reading states that he was coming at moderate rate of speed and says that the. collision was unavoidable. He remained by the scene of disaster all night and rendered all possible assistance in saving the lives of the crew. Captain Harvender was one of the men saved by the Reading. The Oracle H. Benson belongs in Province town, and her principal owner is Nathan Young of that place.
 The Benson is schooner of eighty nine tons burden, and was built in 1884 at Hodson Mills, Me. It thought there is little. insurance on. the vessel. The sunken schooner lies in the middle of the channel between Boston Light and Bug Light, heading eastward with her .topmast out of water.
