The Leaf of Young Grain.-There is much erence in the breadth, size and color of leaf in young grain as it comes up. It is partly dependent on the character of the seed, as the plant sends up its first leaves mainly from the starchy matter which encloses the germ and which the germ uses until it Is able to put forth roots into the soil Barley h0ing larger and heavier than oats has always q broader leaf, though if oats are sown on rich land and some what late they will come up with leaf that ls like barley. But this rank growt early is not regarded favorably by the lltivator, for he knows that 1t Is ii.~.e to be followed by rust of stalk or grain later in the season. Har- rowing grain that comes up with too small and thin leaf bruises these first leaves, and as it also stimulates root growth it causes the plant to send up new shoots with much broader leaves. This dries out the soil, thus preventing the excessive growth latee that invites rust,-Ex.

About Potatoes

There is probably ne crop largely grown that yields q better profit than the potato crop. Yet the per acre yield throughout the country is small, due very largely to poor methods in han ding the soil. The potato aeeommo- dates itself to many varieties of soil and to all kinds Of culture. Perhaps this fact is taken advantage of to too great an extent, and not enough care used in any part of the process of pro- dueng the crop. When we consider that more than 1000 bushels of pota- toes have been raised on an acre in diff ferent parts of the country, and that less than 100 bushels is the ordinary yield, we are forced to believe that we are not using all of our possible ad- vantages.
 The first requisite is well-prepared land, drained if it so requires. This good preparation means blowing deep enough to admit of the fullest growth of root, Whatever may be said against deep blowing yet it certainly has tendency to send the roots down be- yond the summer drouth, which is often thing of great importance. The writer remembers a little corner in a potato patch in which coal ashes had been thrown. The ground thus in- creased in depth gave moisture to the plants when in all other parts of the patch they were dying for lack of moisture. The probable reason was that in that part the soil was so porous that the roots had been able to strike deep and to reach into stratum of continuous moisture. This is not to advocate the use of coal ashes as a fer tilizer fer potatoes. but to illustrate the principle by which a loose soil permits the penetration of roots.
 As to milling there is great diversity of opinion. We know that it is be- coming quite popular to advocate the doing away of the old style of hi1l- ing. and to say that the idea of hill- ing was a barbarous one, originating among the bogs of Ireland. The whole settlement of the question must de- pend on circumstances. Some varieties have to be hilled anyway, unless we expect to have some of the potatoes on top of the ground. The question of moisture runs into that of milling. A certain man some years ago abandoned the milling process and planted all of his potatoes on the level. It happened to be an exceptionally wet summer and the entire crop was damaged by lying too much in the water Hilling would lave done some good in this case,

TOMMY ATKINS AND oouRKHAs
Latter Called "the Finest Hill Soldiers
 iD the World.'

Well, in my opinion, the only bloomin' beggars in this bloomin' diyi- sion wot ave earned their bloomin' pay in this ere campaign are them there Gurkhy scouts" The above comment, overheard by an officer of one of the British regiments in the Tirah-and joyfully reported to the commandant of the scouts-was undoubtedly a grievous libel on many gallant fellows who had fought and suffered and en- dured to an extent for which even the luxurious pay of the British private can hardly be deemed extravagant, says Blackwood's Magazine The pes simistic Tommy who gave utterance to the slander would have been the first to resent any such ealumny from an outsider. Yet two points are there~ by made clear-the marvellous amount of finished work put in and the admira- ble manner in which most difficult and hazardous duties were performed by them there Gurkhy scouts" In a re- cent speech before the Military Society of Ireland, Lord Roberts emphasized his appreciation of the utility of these skirmishers, and advocated the exten- sion of the system for future operations on the frontier That this new de- parture was the most successful and most striking feature Of the expedition. and that the innovation was more than justified, have been generally conceded. and on the Gourkha scouts has been ungrudgingly conferred the title of ''The finest hill soldiers in the world. !"
 San Jose Sca1e A6r0ad-Dr. Frank. one of the most noted scientists of Germany, recently presented a paper 0n the { Jose scale before the Ber- in Horticultural Society. In view of the attitude taken by Germany and France toward American fruit impor- tations and the scale, his conclusions are of interest, says Country Gentle man. Fr saws there are two species of scale in Germany which have been thought possibly identical with the San Jose insect, but that his investi- gations prove their distinctness. He quotes American entomoiogists as say ing that the San Jose scale produces three broods yearly, each old female breeding about 600 young. Dr. Frank, however, has satisfied himself that only one generation of about 30 is pro- duced. He thinks it questionable whether the San Jose scale can live in Europe at all We respectfully sug- gest that the Germans and Frenchmen send discreet man apiece to America to see the San Jose scale, and learn something about it.

PATENT ATTORNEYS DISCARDED.
Failed to Pay Government Fees Re-
cetxed From Their Clients.

Two Washington patent attorneys have
been disbarred from practice before the
patent office They c. B. Woodbury.
and Charles ]. Gooch. The order disbarring
them says 'for gross misconduct AS
sistant Commissioner Greeley said today
that the gross misconduct charged was
the failure of the attorneys in question to
pay into the patent office the government
fees they had received from their clients.
Less than $1,000 in both cases covers the
loss
The failure of attorneys to pay the gov
eminent fee is a serious matter for the in
ventor. 1t is not the monetary loss that
counts SO much as the liability of the in
ventor to lose his patent When the notice
of an allowance is received it is the duty
of the attorney to pay in the final govern
ment fee of $50 ana have the patent issue.
If this is delayed trouble is likely to ensue-
This is equally true of the first fee. If this
is not paid with the filing of the applica-
ton the latter becomes valueless. In the
case of a valuable invention it can be readi-
ly seen how much damage could eIlsue by
reason of this omission through careless
ness or deliberate intent.

THE ACCIDENT TO THE NEWARK.
Breaking of the Piston Rod While En-
teriHg the Golden Gate.

1 breaking or the I1StOn kNOu w nlLe Ell.
teriHE the Golden Gate.
Detailed reports of the accident sustained
by the cruiser Newark recently as she was
entering the Golden Gate show that what
might have been a serious accident was
averted by the fact that the ship was only
under half speed, and that owing to the
thoughtfulness of her engineer, Comma nder
Meritz, double force was in the engine
room allowing the steam to be cut off
promptly.
What happened was that the piston rod of
the port low-pressure cylinder snapped off
close to the piston and the latter cracked
the cylinder head and part of the hange.
Inspection showed that the piston rod had
been holding by less than two inches OF
metal, instead of the full section of u
/ inches, and the flaw was evidently at least
two years old. board of inspection met
at Mare Island yesterday to investigate the
matter.
In the course of week court of inquiry
will convene at Mare Island to fix the re-
sponsibility for the exhausting of the New
ark's coal supply, by reason of which she
came near drifting into the Antarctic
ocean and being lost during her cruise
around from New York.
