PLANTING POTATOES.

Several Reasons Why the Ground Should
 Be Prepared Deeply.
 Simply cutting and plastering po- tatoes in advance of planting will not secure satisfactory results. Since a large quantity of seed and labor are re- quired to produce crop of potatoes, much pains should be taken to prepare the ground and cultivate it before and after the potatoes have grown, in the best manner possible.
 The potato is deep-rooted plant, and therefore the ground should be prepared deeply. The tubers are formed above the seed. These two points should always be kept prom inently in mind.
 It also loves a moist, cool soil. This indicates that conservation of moisture and shade should be secured by cul- ture. The ground should be not only thoroughly and deeply plowed, but made fine.
 A most satisfactory way, where the ground is open, is to furrow deeply with a double mold-board as seen in the upper part of the figure. Cover the potatoes by reversing the furrows, as seen in the center of the figure. After

Continued at Least One Week
 Longer.
 The board of trustees of the Phoenix schools hoped to be able last night by reason of hurried passage of MT. Kemp's bill through the legislature to announce that the schools would be continued. On account of the action of assem bly,, by which it's consider ation wss laid over they were unable to do so. Accordingly Superintendent Wollam last night issued the following notice to the teachers continuing the schools at least until next Friday:
 The Phenix public schools will con- tinue till Friday, March 22, pending the final passage of council bill No. 96, introduced by Mir. Kemp and passed in the council today. Should this bill be- come a law, the full school year of eight months will be completed.
 Wages are to be the same as hereto fore for time taught. Should any teacher be unable or unwilling to con- tinue on the above condition, such teacher should notify the superin. tendent this evening.
 Report cards should be sent out for parents signatures Monday, March Is. Teachers should use their best en- deavors to hold the interest of the pu- pills in the work and to keep up the at tendance. Very respectfully,

the potatoes have started, scantling or light piece of timber may be chained crosswise near the front of the harrow and two rows may be planed down, as shown in the lower part of the figure.
 In few days the potatoes will be up and will be entirely free from weeds. This double blowing and fning and depositing of the clods and stones in the middle of the rows results not only in putting the ground in superior con- dition, but in saving very large amount of after culture.
 The most satisfactory results that we have ever reached have been by sthis method.-Countrv Gentleman.

AN OMlNOUS BRIDGE.
A Spot at Which Superstitious Wedding
 Parties All Turn Back.


 Parties All Turn Back.
 A bridge which is carefully avoided by wedding couples because of the traditions which surround it spans stream called the goldbrook, in the parish of Hoxne, near Eye, in the coun- ty of Suffolk, England. Standing in the center of an open field at Hoxne is an obelisk to the memory of Edmund, king of the East Angles, who was killed by the Danes in s7o. On the site of the monument stood an oak tree, in the branches of which the king took refuge from his foes. At nightfall he emerged from his 1eafy hiding place and secreted himself under the above mentioned bridge. A wedding party passing over the bridge at night ob- served the kings gold spurs glittering in the moonlight, and in this way he was betrayed to his enemies, who took him back to the oak tree and shot him with arrows. Local tradition has it that many years ago the existing in- scription of the event was, followed by the words: Cursed be the wedding party that passes over this bridge" No such words are now visible, but the tradition IS so well known that bridal parties prefer taking a circuitous route rather than pass over Goldbrook bridge.

 in the United States. It is known in France and Germany as a serious pest to pear trees, and its life history had been only recently made out in the lat ter country. We had to do then with an imported pest, and I found later that it was brought over in pear stocks about ten years ago
 The beetle makes its appearance about the middle of May. flies only in the hottest sunshine, and lays it's eggs in the bark some time in June Early in July the very minute larvae may be found in the sap-wood, and they feed until winter. becoming by that time about three-quarters of an inch in length. Feeding is resumed in spring Ind continues until September, when the larva is from one and one-quarter to one and one-half inches in length It then bores into the solid wood about one-quarter of an inch and forms cell, in which it rests until March or April, when it changes to pupa, and soon afterward to a beetle. Thus the larva feeds two years in the trees, and during that time forms channels from six to eight inches in length.
 So far as 1 have been able to ascer- tain, the insect is still confined to east ern New Jersey, not extending south below Elizabeth, but said to extend northward into New York state 1 have no evidence of it's presence in the states of the central west, but pear growers who have found it should so report. This is an insect that spreads slowly; but it will undoubtedly spread, and it behooves growers to be on the lookout for it.
 As to the remedies to be adopted, nothing very definite caA be said. In Europe sitting the bark is recom- mended, and this has been done with some success by some of the New Jer- sey growers. In Franceit is suggested that the trees be protected by covering the trunks with straw. which is to be 1 afterward coated with coal tar. In Germany mixture of COW dung and clay, formed into paste and plastered on the trunks, is advised, the mass to be kept in place by bandages of some cheap fabric. This is said to kill the larva in their burrows, to stimulate 1 the bark. and to facilitate the healing over of the burrows made by the insects. 1 I am in hopes of getting more simple and easily applied material to answer i the same purpose, but am not ready 1 yet to make definite recommendations i Prof. John B.

ever these larva were numerous tht tree sickened from the interruption t' the flow of sap, and in the course time, as the borings met, the girdlins became complete, and the tree died.
 Further investigation resulted in the discovery of the adult beetle, which is bronze-brown in color. very slender, and about one and one-third inch in length. This proved eventually to be Agrilus sinuatus Olivier, European species which had not been previously found

SINUATE PEAR BOXER.
Views of Prof. Smith, of the New Jersey
 :, Experiment Station.

In the spring of 1894 I received com- plaints from some farmers near Irving ton, Essex county, N. J., of a borer that was injuring pear trees. Personal investigation showed the presence of an insect heretofore entirely unknown to me, and of which had not seen any notice in American literature. It was a beetle larva, and obviously belonged to 8 member of. the genus Agrilus, an allay of the 1arva producing gals on blackberry and raspberry canes: but no member of the genus was known to attack fruit trees in the eastern United States. I found that in the entire 1rv- ington and Hilton district, several miles in extent, all the pear trees were more or less infested and were sickly- evidently dying off.
 The bark on these trees showed peculiar dark, somewhat depressed 1 lines, and was sometimes cracked. Slicing off a section down to the sap wood, found broad, shallow burrows or channels, partly in the bark and partly in the wood, dry and brown in
 
 dust and frass. These channels were very irregular, zigzagging from side to side, but not evenly; sometimes form ing long bend to one side and short enc to the other, or again reversing this. Not only the trunks, but the larger branches were attacked and later found that even nursery trees or those just set out, did not escape Following the course of the burrow the culprit would be found in the shape of white, fattened larva, varying from half an inch to an inch or more 1T length, the anterior segment verymuct enlarged. the following two decidedly smaller, and beyond that the joints were moreover, butalways strongly marked the last ending in pair of little brown curved points or hooks.

PORTLAND. Ore, July 15.-The
American Loan and Trust company,
of New York, has Won its case against
the Oregon Short Line & Utah North
ern Railway company. Judge Bellfn-
ger, in the United States circuit court
today, rendered an opinion upon
which a decree ordering the foreclos-
IRE of the consolidated mortgage and
the sale of that portion of the road in
Oregon, Idaho and Montana will be
entered. The decree is sufficient to
sell the road in the territory men
toned.
The courts decision, which was
given verbally, was very brief. The
judge said that THE Short Line COM
pany admitted having borrowed and
used money and that the mortgage
was valid AL objections to fore
closure that had been made were
purely technical and verbal as to the
form of the courts orders, and there
was no reason why plaintiff was not
entitled to a decree.
The counsel in the case will prepare
a written decree and submit i: 10 the
court for approval. The decision is
victory for the scheme of disintegra-
ton of the Union Pacific system, but
some time must .elapSe before the
foreclosure and sale is effected. Al
though the attorneys refused to- dis
cusS the matter, it is intimated that
the case will be carried to The court
OF appeals, and finally to the Supreme
Court of the United States.
