fare destroyed that splendid army. And
it was the defeat of Napoleon s forces
in that mighty war conducted by these
harassing and irregular systems that
deprived him of his resources so that
after the final blow in the retreat from
Moscow, that greatest power of mod

not proud to recount it as the Srande5t

proudest chapters in relation to that

The wise farmer, DESTROYS of grow
ing potatoes profitably, will adopt
mixed farming, in which dairy hus-
bandry or mutton production is
leading line. To feed the stock on
such a farm requires that clover,
grasses, corn and other grain be
grown. Potatoes will be planted
this year on one field, next year on
another, and so on in rotation with
other crops. When prices for pota-
toes are low, our prudent potato
grower has his income from other
sources sufficient to bring him out
even at least at the end of the year;
when prices for potatoes rule high,
he will have a surplus of income to
lay up for a rainy day. Let us not
forget that this section has already
established reputation for potatoes
of fine quality, and their equal can
not be produced in the states south
of US. Potato growing is a legit
innate industry for this section, and
will continue profitable to our far
mers in the future as in the past,
when the returns for a series of
years are considered. p minneapolis

THE VETO POWER.

Elk President Harrison writes of
the veto and treaty making powers
of the president in May Ladies
Home Journal-"This Country of
Ours" series of articles. He dis
cusses the pocket veto," and says
concerning the restraints against
the exercise of the veto power that
are imposed upon the president:
"* There is another practice in
legislation that greatly restraints
the freedom of the president in u.s.
ing the veto power. What are
called riders are often placed in gen.
eral appropriation bills-that is,
legislation of a general character
having nothing to do with appro-
priations is put into an appropria
ton bill. This is equivalent to
saying to the president, Give your
to this general legislation
or go without the appropriations
necessary to carry on the govern
ment.' Il
"There are other practical res
traints upon the freedom of the
president in the exercise of the veto
power. Very many laws contain
more than one proposition-some a
number Of such-and the president
must deal with them as thus asso
ciated. In each of the great appro-
priation bills many hundreds of
distinct appropriations are made.
Some of these the president may
think to be wrong, either as a mat
ter of policy or of constitutional
power; but he cannot single these
out; he must take the bill as a
whole. 1t has been much contend
ed that the veto was given to enable
the president to defend himself
against legislative attempts to en-
croach upon his constitutional pow
ers, or those of the judiciary, and
that he should exercise it only
where he finds constitutional OBJ
jections to bill. But the power is
not so limited, and from the begin
ming has been exercised upon the
ground of the inexpediency or un-
wisdom Of the legislation proposed,
as we'll as upon constitutional
grounds. | do not suppose that
any president has ever dealt with
the bills submitted for his approval
upon the principle that he should
approve only such as he would have
voted for if he had been mem Der
of congress. Much Difference is due
to the congress, and vetoes have
customarily been used only when
the fault in the proposed legislation
was serious in itself or as a prece-
dent"

DON'T DROP POTATOES.

A few days ago the Journal pub
lished an article on the spring sales
of farm machinery, which showed
that the farmers had dropped pota-
to machinery this year. There is
every prospect that many Of those
who planted extensively last sea-
son will put in no acreage this sum-
mer on account of the low price
which the tuber brought last fall.
Director Henry, Of the Wisconsin
experiment station, has figured a
little on the probabilities, and rec
ommends farmers not to let the po-
tato 90 entirely this year. His ar
gument is found in the following
bulletin:
"A great many farmers are feel
ing very sore yet over their potato
experience in 1895, and many are
so disguised with their venture in
that year that they will not attempt
to make little fortune in single
year, as they did then, but drop
out of the business for the present
at least.
prudent farmers will bear in
mind the following facts
"First-The immense potato crop
of 1895 will have all disappeared
by the middle of July of the pres
ent year. The surplus of potato
crop cannot be stored up, like wheat,
to menace the succeeding crops;
again, the price which potatoes COM
mand in this country is practically
controlled by the production of our
own country, In this particular it
differs greatly from wheat, the price
of which is made by what it brings
in foreign markets in competition
with wheat from every quarter of
the globe.
"Second-In 1895 there was an
unusually large acreage of potatoes,
stimulated through the large profit
which had come to growers in pre-
vious years, The disastrous lesson
of last year will drive out all the
adventures this season.
Remembering all these facts, our
prudent farmers, who have lands
suitable for potato culture, will not
fail to plant reasonable acreage of
potatoes the coming season in ex-
pectation that the chances are large
ly in favor of profitable returns.

II have concluded my expert

the disease spreads at a prodigious

the virus succeeding as well in the

question presents itself to me as to
whether we should supply this virus

action among the landowners in

sirable."

The best time to spray apple trees
is lust after the blossoms fall, and
while the blossom end of the young
apple stands up. The spray of
poison then falls into the blossom
end Of the apple where the miller
lays its egg, and when the egg
matches and the worm goes to feed
ing on the fruit it gets a dose of
poison with the first mouthtul, and
that kills it and saves the fruit.
That is the whole secret of the sue
cess of spraying. The poison gen.
orally used is the common dilution
of Paris green and a little Bordeaux
mixture, we'll stirred in with it will
make the poison adhere better and
not be washed off soon by rains. 1t
is also the best thing there is for
fungus growth. There is not much
use of trying to raise fruit now
without spraying, as the bugs are
almost certain to kill it. Often one
spraying will accomplish the work,
but if rains wash it off it is better
to spray two or three times.-States-

A NEW TRICK TO LEARN.
Sarling Topsails Done Away With on a
Ship With Progressive Owners.

All the inroads made by steam on
the business of pushing vessels along,
Of which the wind had monopoly not
so many years ago, have not stopped the
spirit of invention from finding out
new ways of doing things in connection
with sailing ships. To the eye of the
ordinary "landlubber" the rigging of a
ship is fearfully and wonderfully tan
gled mess of ropes and lines, but to the
sailor, whose business it is to know all
about the ropes and things, the maze
and the various parts which compose it
are the embodiment of symmetry and
the perfection of order. AS the ship was
rugged and the sails handled in the days
of long ago, SO are the processes carried
cut today, and if it is hard to teach an
old dog new tricks, it is still harder to
get the regulation "barnacle back, !"
who was brought up ON salt horse and
lime juice, with an occasional taste of
ropes end by the way ct dessert, to
adopt any Of the new tangled ideas
which are constantly cropping up in
matters maritime For this reason,
while inventors are not slow to offer
improvements, it is sometimes difficult
to get them adopted to sufficient ex-
tent to insure realization of the for
tune which is ever hid at the foot of the
inventors rainbow.
This fact is exemplified by the fuss
which has been made over the arrival
at San Francisco of a vessel with an
entirely new scheme of handling her
topsails The old plan of furling the
sail by lowering the upper topsail yard,
while the leechlines, clewlines and
buntlines gathered the sail as close to
the yard as possible, is done away with
by this new method. In place of having
"bunt ga.ket" gathering as much of
the sail as it could hold at the mast,
the remainder being strung out on the
yard and held in place by winding the
whole sail into a big "bunt gasket,"
the yard is left bare, save for the ''out
hauls'' or the lines left to reset the sail
when it is needed
The sail on this progressive ship is
furled by hauling to the center Of the
yard from each yardarm, the top and
bottom of the sail travelling together.
This is accomplished by railways on the
upper and lower topsail yards These
consist of T irons bolted to the yards,
are fitted ON the fore side, and serve in
the place Of jackstays. On these rail
ways are placed roller hanks, to which
the top and bottom of the sail are Sc
cured. The sail is taken in by lines
leading through blocks at the mast, and
set by outhauls running through blocks
at the ends of the yards Reefs in the
sail are taken vertically amidships, the
slack sail being on the forward side,
thus preventing Tapping.
One advantage of the new rig, it is
said, is that two men can handle the
sail, as there is no yard to hoist and
lower, although it would seem that
when the expansion and contraction of
canvas under climatic influence are con-
sidered the raising or lowering of the
yard few inches would be advisable.

Mr.. Bryan is a smooth faced, clean cut,
handsome man, a fine speaker and
ready debater. He is an ardent tariff
reformer Since his retirement from
congress he has been active upon occa-
sions in spreading the free silver propa-
eanda all over the great west and down
into New Mexico. He never fails to Sc
cure converts. He began his congress
sional career by carrying an overwhelm-
ingly Republican district by 1000 ma
tority. Although his views on finance
are at variance with those of some of
the great Democratic statesmen, recent
developments have shown that he Is in
advance rather than in the rear Of
Democratic progress. AS long ago as
May, 1895, in speech in Missouri, Mr..
Bryan said he believed the Democratic
party would take its position at the next
national convention and declare for the
free coinage of silver at 16 to1.

The vice presidential nominee is a man
very nearly twice as old as the head of
looks. He Ia a splendid example OF
physical manhood, carries himself with
a soldierly bearing, and is what might
be termed fine looking man. His hair
and moustache are slightly tinged with
grey, but the wrinkles of age have
scarcely made their appearance on his
face. He was born at Bath, Me-, Nov
rs, 1885. The estate on which he was
born, and where he now resides, has been
in the possession of the Sewall family
since 1850. His grandfather fought in
the War of the Revolution. By occupa-
ton, Mr.. Sewall was originally a ship
builder, and he is now largely interested
In shipping, railway and banking. For
nine years he was president of the Maine
Central railway, from which position he
retired two years ago. He is now presi-
dent of a bank at Bath and interested
in the Bath iron works, and number OF
other commercial enterprises. Alr> ough
he has for years employed large num-
hers of men, he has never had any seri-
Gus labor trouble. Mr.. Sewall was mar
ried in 1859 to Miss Emma D. Croker OF
Bath. He has two children living, both
of them sons, Harold M. and William
d. Sewall by name.
