Thinning Potatoes.

Fruit growers have learned, or are
fast learning, the advantages of thin
ming fruit trees and plants and growers
of potatoes have discovered that the
same plan Of thinning works well with
them; nor ought thinning to be confined
to orchard fruits and potatoes, for it
will pay well with all fruits and yegeta-
bles wherever the product is to be sold
in a market that demands and pays for
size rather than quantity. The thin
ming Of potatoes proves particularly
valuable during a dry season such as
the present one. for without it the
tubers will be So small as TO be almost
unstable. AS it is the markets suppli-
ed from sections where dry weather
prevailed will be flooded with second
grade potatoes. Thinning Of potato
plants must be done by hand, man
going over the field and pulling up all
but one plant to hill The plants
must not be broken of. but pulled away
entirely from the seed potato or it will
sprout up again. The result Of thinning
is fewer potatoes in hill at harvest
time but ninety out Of a hundred Of
them will be Of salable size, in normal
season very large, while many Of the
crop from the hills not thinned will be-
small, in an unusual season like this,
too small for market. Growers who
have observed the results closely assert
that the plan Of thinning is especially
desirable with early potatoes. for the
crop natures several days earlier than
when mol thinnel.

FOLLOWING close upon the convic-
ton of Cannon for practicing pOlygamy
in Utah came the news of several Nor
mon missionaries having been made
away with"-the dispatch didn't say
murdered-hy a Georgia mob, because
they tried to induce married woman
to leave her home and 60 with them to
Utah. A few days ago party OF Nor
mon missionaries returned from Ger
many, with the news that they were
unsuccessful "because the Germans
are not as progressive as Americans in
seeing and accepting the truth" They
are not discouraged, however. and will
try other parts of Europe. 1t is said
that the number of new arrivals OF
Mormon immigrants at the port OF
New York is large and that OF the
whole number all but five per cent are
women. They come over in charge OF
an elder. The church OF Latter
Day Saints does not seem to be losing
ground. But it is quite possible that
the ground will be made too warm for
them in Utah, if it shall be shown that
they are practiclng polygamy in de-
fance of the laws and in violation OF
good faith. Cannon pleaded guilty.
The work will be kept up until the
truth is laid bare.

ANOTHER victim of cocaine is re-
ported in the daily press. She was
we'll known society woman in Chicago
and a member of the board of lady man
ayers of the worlds fair, but she began
to take cocaine in patent "cold cure
and now she is in Jail on a disgraceful
charge. It is certainly known to ma
jority of the people that q very large
proportion of the advertised cures for
colds, coughs, headaches, and internal
troubles contain deadly poisons. such
as opium, cocaine, and chloral, in vary
ing proportions. Druggists will often
give these dopes to customers, either
not knowing or not caring as to their
effects, immediate or future. Especial
ly in the case of children or adults who
are morally or physically weak, it lie
not short of criminal to plant in their
bodies the seeds of utter destruction by
giving these poisons in medicine.

THERE is talk of the United States
annexing Santo Domingo. Dispatches
give the following reasons why some
people think such action would be de-
sirable: THE geographical location,
as pointed out by Gen. Grant thirty
years ago, puts it in command OF the
