Growing Smooth Potatoes.

There is great difference in the peel
ing and cooking of potatoes as regards
waste. It is one of the points which
materially affect the sale of the crop.
Therefore, in selecting seed care should
be taken to plant only the varieties
which have eyes even with the surface
instead of sunken, and which are with
out rough protuberances. Some OF
these latter will yield very largely, but;
the potato is coarse in fiber and not.
nearly so palatable as those which
grow to moderate size and have COM
few eyes, AS the housewife
selects from the bin for cooking she
naturally chooses those that can be
with least difficulty. The
moral of this is that the seed should be
selected early, and not left to be taken
from the rough potatoes that have all
winter been rejected as of inferior
quality.

Decay Of Grass Roots.

Every time the ground freezes ana
thaws many grass roots near the sur
face are snapped from the main stem
It is doubtless the decay OF these winch
contributes to the increase OF fertility
when fields are. kept in grass. Some
of the grasses, and especially the clo-
vers. run out after one or two years.
The decay of their roots in the'soll
helps to make the more hardy and en-
during varieties more thrifty We are
apt to think that sod, SO far as its
roots are concerned, IS a constant T!
could examine it every spring we
should probably find that many OF It's
roots have dropped off, aud will have to
be replaced during the growing season.

Only composted manure should be
used to grow early vegetables. While
the air and soil are cold manure in
small quantities does not ferment at
all. Of course while it is unfermented
it has no plant food to give off, and it's
sole benefit to the soil is to tighten it
and make it dryer and warmer. There
are many who grow early vegetables
who claim that nitrate of soda in
which available nitrogen is always
ready for use is enough better and
quicker to more than repay its in
creased cost. It gives the plants an
early start and when applied with sta
bic manure, it greatly hastens its de-
composition.

Catholic Priests in Politics

MONTREAL, Feb. 22.-Father Lacom
be, missionary, has written letter
to Wilfred Laurier, leading the opposi-
ton, in the name of Roman Catholic
bishops, urging him to support the
Manitoba remedial bill. and saying that
the church will not accept Mr.. Laur-
ier's scheme of a commission of inquiry.
Father Lacombe says that it will be to
the interest of Mr.. Laurier and his
party to support the remedial bill, es-
pecially as a general election is near at
hand, but if he opposes the bill the
clergy will unite to defeat him and
his party.

CHANGING PiANISTS.
An Interesting Incidental Performance at
q New York Variety Show.

An Interesting Incidental Performance at
q New York Variety Show.
"As interesting as anything I've
seen in this town. said a recent visitor
to a New York Sun reporter, ''was a
change of pianists that l saw in
variety theater. There was man on
the stage singing a song and the
pianist was playing the accompani-
ment. l happened to see the pianist
glancing to the left once and looked
in the direction myself and saw COM
ing down the side aisle man that I
judged must be the relief pianist and
SO he was. i imagined that he would
sit down for a moment and wait; but,
dear me, was very slow.
'-He was approaching the piano at
the bass end of the keyboard. When
he had almost reached the corner of
the piano the man who was playing
began gently sliding off the seat to
the right, still playing. By this time
the relief was abreast of the bass keys,
and these the first player, who was
still sliding steadily to the right, now
relinquished to him, and then the new
conner, still standing, but also moving
steadily to the right, struck in in per.
feet time and tune.
"There was a brief time, a second or
two, when both men were playing
the retiring pianist the treble and the
oncoming player the bass-and for a
fraction of a second they were both
standing. But now the new player is
fairly opposite the center of the key
board; he settles into the seat, and now
it is his hand that strikes the treble,
and now. the whole piano resounds to
his resolute touch.
SIN fact, there never was minute
when the piano had anything to say
about it; there never was minute
when the men were not completely
masters of the situation. There never
was an instant from the time the re-
lief approached until he was firmly
settled in his seat when both men
were not continuously in motion; but
the change was made without jar or
a slur in the music aEd without the
omission of a note"

TRUSTEES OF BUoHTEL COLLEGE.

The special meeting of the Board of
o., was held on Wednesday, March Is,
according to notice. 1t was a larger
meeting than usual. all but two of the
eighteen trustees being present. Thot 9
absent were Mr.. w. H. Slade of Coll M
bus and Mr.. Eddy of Michigan; the for
mer was unable to attend by reason Of
his continued illness, and the latter is
in Europe.
The resignation of DR.. Cone as Presi:
dent of the College was accepted. 1t
will take effect after the next commence
ment, July l. A committee consisting
of A. A. Stearns. of Cleveland, Rev. An
drew Wilson of Ravenna. and A. B.
Tinker, ESQ.,. was appointed to act in con-
nection with Hon. Geo. w, Grouse, Presi-
dent, and G. r. Olin. Secretary of the
Board, in recommending a successor 10
DIR. Cone.
The Faculty had asked information
touching the new catalogue. Its publ
cation was authorized at the usual time,
offering substantially the same courses
of study as are now being pursued in
the College. This matter is. however.
to be subject to such notifications as
may seem advisable to the Executive
Committee when the time for publica-
ton arrives. Measures were also set on
foot for Strengthening the financial in
terests of the College.
The Trustees we're harmonious in all
their actions, and the fullest confidence
was expressed that Buchtel College will
continue its career with undiminished
vigor Notwithstanding the evil reports
which have been circulated.
