1t is a very good plan to raise potatoes
for seed the next year from cuttings.
These cuttings do not yield as large or as
many potatoes as the draws as rule but
the potatoes are smoother and better for
painting. 1t is not injurious to the crop
TO take a reasonable number of cuttings
from each hill after the plant has made
good growth and become well esta blished.
Nor will IL hurt to cut Off half Of the first
and second vines when they have ac-
auired a length Of three or four feet. A
cutting should be at least twelve or fifteen
inches long and firmly pressed into the
soil II started late and dry weather pre-
walls these cuttings may make nothing

start early.

Princeton Professor Takes Formal Leave
OF the Presbyterian Church.
Princeton, N. j., Nov. 12.-The Rev.
Or. Charles w. Shields, professor OF re-
vealed religion at Princeton university,
was hauled over the Goals at the special
meeting of the presbytes19 of New
Brunswick, which invaded IA strong
hold of the professor with thel avowed
intention of cestigating him for having
signed the application for a liquor IL
cense for the Princeton inn, the only
thing that approaches a combination
hotel and casino in this quiet town.
All Princeton, including President
Patton of the university, adhered to the
cause of Professor Shields, but It was
evident soon after the meeting began
that the majority of the presbytery was
strongly opposed to him.
! II was a hot and prottacted fight, and
the technical triumph Of the anti
Shields faction was condemned with
more or less bitterness by many Prince
tonians, by practically all the students
Of the university and by Grover Cleve-
land, VINO expressed himself with frank
ness when told of the action Of the pres
bytery. Said the ex-president to re-

governments reaching an understand
ing by which they hope at later day TO
effect final adjustment, not only of the
Bering sea question, but of other pend
Ing border controversies. For the pres
ent, however, no final action was taken
as to the suspension OF pelagic sealing.
The Canadians urged that other ques-
tions be embraced in any plan Of set
tlement and suggested an international
commission to accomplish this end. This
proposition was fully discussed and an
agreement reached that the Canadian
officials should put their views in writ
ing after returning to ottawa and sub
nit them to the authorities here.
All parties concerned say that the
outlook Is favorable TO a satisfactory
adjustment. The unanimous agreement
OF the experts brings the governments
together for the first time on all the
facts relating to the seals.
Following the agreement Of the ex-
perts,' the diplomatic officials assem-
bled at General Fosters residence to
discuss the larger question of putting
an end to pelagic sealing and Of settling
other border controversies. Owing to
the continued Illness of Sir Julian
Paunoefote, who Is confined 20 his room.
the British government was represented
by the first secretary of the British en-
bassy, Mr.. Adam.
General Fosters Prerogasives.
Sir wilfrid Laurier and Sir Louis
Davies were present in behalf of Can
ada. General Fosters powers had been
materially enlarged since the coming Of
the Canadian officials, for, as 8 result
rf ha nA ~ 4a1 ha4
Sir Wilfrid and Secretary Sherman. the
latter had written to the Canadian pre-,
mier, stating that the president had em-
powered General Foster to treat on the
various border questions which Sir Will
frid had called to the attention of Mr..
Sherman and, with the cooperation OF
tine British government. to conclude
treaties covering these subjects.
This gave the meetir g a broad sig
nificance, and the entire range Of bor-
der affairs was discussed. Primarily
the purpose of the meeting was to se-
cure an agreement on Bering sea. The
Canadians made II clear, however. that
they wished any plan of settlement to
take a broader scope than the one sub
ject of Bering sea and to embrace the
many sources of friction along the bor-
der.
The plan OF an international commits
sion was discussed at great length. The
Canadians felt that the commission az
forded the best means Of reconciling all
differences and of opening the way to
reciprocity. The discussion was OF the
most friendly nature throughout, and
no sharp differences were allowed to
crop out. II was felt, however, that the
plan of commission was too large q
question for immediate determination.
A final understanding was reached,
therefore, that the Canadian proposition
should be reduced to writing as a basis
for further negotiations.
