QUICKLY GROWN POTATOES.
A Method by Which it is Claimed Sin
Crops of Irish Potatoes a Year Car
be Grown.

The secret Of the new method of po-
tato growing is to grow the potatoes
before planting and dig the potatoes
planted.
Sprout the potatoes aud raise little
potatoes from the sprouts to plant. To
obtain these results the discoverer OF
the new method constructed sprout-
ing house with double walls filled in
with sawdust overhead, and double
doors. The seed potatoes are put into
old barrels and small boxes to keep
them warm and make them sprout.
The room is kept warm by means of
charcoal fire in bake oven. The po-
tatoes will begin to grow, and in four
to six weeks they will be the size of
peas.
The discoverer tells how he plants in
the following language:
II now knock the barrels or boxes
to pieces, and find mass of roots
and sprouts and myraids of new pota-
toes. The numerous roots hold the
whole mass together, and l load it on
handbarrow and have two men carry it
down the row while 1 break O fl hand
full of the mass and drop it on the bank
in the furrow already prepared, as
stated. Count the little potatoes on
the stems until you can form an idea
of how much of handful you must
break off. Your hand should not con-
tain more than forty nor less than
twenty.
II plant in water furrow, but leave
narrow balk in the bottom and upon
this l drop the seed every eighteen
inches. Part Of the seed falls on one
side of the balk and part on the other,
so l have really double hill. Icover
with two burrows. The seed 1 use is
generally the size of English peas
though they run from the size of a
, birds eye to that Of marble. OF
these drop from twenty to sixty in
each hill, and if there is enough rain
every one will make fine potato. 1t
! never takes more than seventy-five DO.
tatoes grown in this way to make a
bushel, and often sixty will do it; but
! it takes manure to grow them. After
rains, put on liquid manure, in add.
ton to the manure already in the soil.
| The manure governs the yield.''
1t is claimed by the new method
potatoes can be grown in from four te
six weeks, while the old method re-
quires from three to four mon tbs. B,
the new method, six crops can be
raised annually. Ofcourse the ground
is heavily fertilized. Horticu ltura

BRITISH AND AMERICAN PATRIOT
ISM.

The editor of the New York W0yM
offered Rudyard Kipling $1,000 for
an article of 1000 words on "Why
America Could Not Conquer Eng
land" kipling replied as follows:
DEAR SIR: Your suggestion that should
write one thousand words for one thousand
dollars on the text why America cou d
not conquer England" has been laid before
me. 1t is impossible that should accept
the commission, as it would involve dis
cussing the armed strength of the Empire
question on which no British subject has
any information for sale.
Sincerely Yours,
RUDYARD kIPLING.
We haven't a great regard for Kip
ling, who appears to be something OF
what his countrymen call a "cad,'
but no one can fail to accord him
honor Tor the noble words spoken in
his reply to the WorM.
The incident brings up the question
Of national patriotism. Kipling's DO
si,ion is precisely that of 90 out of
every 100 Englishmen. Love of coun-
try-"nOme as the BritOn calls it, no
matter where you find him or how
long or how far separated, in the jun.
giles OF India, in the sands of Suez,
wherever he may be-love Of country
is real vital force with the children
of the >"tight little isle" who retain
their British citizenship Is there any
American patriotism, that dollars do
not buy? Witness the suppression OF
the Venezuela war fever at the behesl
OF Wall street. Witness the sudden
change Of sentiment towards Cuba
under the same influence.
Did American patriotism die when
brute force crushed its true expression

A $4,000 Apple Tree.

the lease on the Smith farm, decided
10 locate we'll near the boundary line
of the Cameron and Smith properties.
The owner Of the land objected to
the location, claiming that if made on
the spot chosen a favorite apple tree
would have to be cut down. The man
ager of the drilling company, believ-
ing that the location was promising
one, decided to gain his end and get

He had the timbers hauled a few

a few feet of the original location. The
we'll produced 5000 barrels of oil per

the Smith farm, but the hole was on
Cameron's land, and he, of course, re-

The apple tree still lives, but has

local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be consti-

A man by the name of Armstrong was

having been bound over to the grand

of Pittsfeld was riding in Palmyra, he
met a man who asked him for some
money, stating that he had lost his Job
on the s. d NJ railroad, had no money
and was very hungry not having had
anything to eat for the day. Mr.. Smith
gave him fifty cents and drove on.
Having proceeded but short distance,
Mr., Smith met MIR. {. F. Gerald who in

down the road who had entered his
house and taken therefrom "A valuable

pursuit of him and soon captured the
thief, took him back to the house where
he was identified by Mrs, Gerald and it
being proved that he had stolen the

taken to Pittsfeld for trial. He pro-
tested vigorously against this proceed

was taken to his destination. His trial
occurred before Judge Bowden, Thurs
