Some Facts About Potatoes.

Despite the fact that the potato is
native Of this continent and that mil
lions Of bushels Of the esculent root are
raised annually In this country. IL is
fact, and one not generally known,
that every year a large amount Of
the SolRnum tuberosum Ia imported from
Europe With all our facilities for rails
ing potatoes, our farmers should be able
not only to supply all demands here. but,
with profit, to export an over production
A glimpse at the figures in the case
shows that, despite the fact that from
1880 to 1883 the average yield was 20 3
bushels per acre, and the yield last year
was 62 3 per sere, worth say 90 cents q
bushel, in 1898 we imported ,06l 359
bushels worth 81 99s7 7ts, and In 1894
our imports reached 2.s6s. 22i bushels
valued at $l,205 4l6. The yield last
year would give gross average value Of
$33 per acre; the wheat crop shows but
SO as per scre.
Now In 1894 the potato crop Of Ger
many was 1888, 7O4 ssl bushels, which,
at an equal value as our own, would be
worth $657,o43,5Ss. a sum more than
seven times the value Of our own potato
crop, and equal to the combined value oI
wheat cotton, oats and buck heat pro-
ducsd in 1894 Inc the entire United
States
There Is an obieo, lesson In this which
American farmers can study to their
advantage. Figures do not lie, and
granting this axiom. it is a question
whether farmers will not fnd more money
in their potato fields than any other part
OF their farms

unfavorRble inference against the rapid

was due TO a defect in the steel tube, to
an excessive powder charge or to an

not yet been determined but In any case
the rapid fire feature WAS not involved

The Voting Machine.

The plan Of voting by machine is get
ting to be more and more favored by those
who want honest elections and voting by
machine is 3 far different thing from
machine politics, for, while much Of our
political corruption is directly Attribut-
able to this latter cause, the voting
machine Is a decided safeguard against it.
One Of our exchanges describes this new
way Of voting as ''the bright consum-
mate flower In the same conservatory In
which the Australian ballot is the OPEN
ing blossom "
The offer made by the builders Of these
machines certainly shows that they thor
oughly believe In their efficiency for they
agree to furnish them receiving only in
compensation the difference in cost be-
tween an election, where the Australian
ballot is used and one where the ma
chine is employed
The new arrangement makes the ballot
absolutely secret With any ordinary
degree Of intelligence on the part Of the
voter, II is proof against mistakes. II
counts the votes as fast ss received, and
leaves no opportunities for manipulating
the ballots while making up the returns
and so may interfere with dishonest pro
fessionsl politicians even more directly
than does the Australian system
But, in spite Of opposition, the expert
ment will sooner or later be made, and II
It proves as successful as anticipated the
