HE LECTURES BEFORE THE INSTITUTE.
APPLICATION OF SCIENTIFIC METHODS

The stimulus given at the teachers in
stitute to the instruction of agriculture
cannot fail TO result in great good. F,
A. Huebner lectured on Tuesday. 1t
was the most interesting and profitable
exercise of the session Mr.. Huebner,
though farmer, has the presence of a
university professor on the platform.
During twenty years be has been occu-
pied in the study of the potato, and to-
dayenioys an international reputation for
his accomplishments in his line. I'm
! like many investigators, Mr.. Huebner is
wholly unseltish, and is ready at all
times to give to the public the knowl-
edge he has acquired without reserva-
| ton.
In the course of his lecture, Mr.. Hueb-
ner brought out many facts important
| to potato culture. In cutting potatoes
for planting, one ought to start at the
stem end and cut off pieces bearing one
eve Two such pieces are placed in each
hill. Large potatoes are not suited for
planting, A potato that will pass
! through a screen having meshes two
| inches by two inches and will not pass
! thr 1ugh one whose meshes measure l. X
/ ! inches is the best potato for planting
1t is well to plant the potato deep so
that the new potatoes may have plenty
of room. Sunshine must be secured in
abundance, hence the hills should be far
apart This is especially desirable where
the soil is apt to be moist. If the soil be
too wet, the product will be poor both
in quality and quantity Any moderate
" dry soil can be made to yield from
300 to 800 bushels per acre. Contrary
to popular opinion, clay will yield a
larger crop than sandy soil. Salt pot
ash, and wood ashes make good fertiliz
ers.
In his Investigations, Mr.. Huebner
discovered many interesting facts. The
scabs often found on potatoes are usual
" due TO angle worms. In young po-
tato the entire potato presents uniform
appearance In an old one, the core be-
comes dark. This dark area increases
till the potato becomes unit for use.
The Early Rose, which revolutionized
potato growing only few years ago,
has already practically outlived It's usse-
fitness Its dark core is large, while the
LAYER rich IN starch is confined to com
paratively thin section next to the SKIN.
Speaking of farm life in general, Mr..
Huebner declared that the chances OF "A
Young man without education are poor
because farming is already science.

cablegram from General Otis was re-

Obliged to use all available coast

anticipated. Am now collecting YES

Spanish Rap the Yankees.

New York, Jan. 10.-A cable to the
Telegram from Paris, says: The Eu-
ropean edition of the Herald publishes
the following, which will be read with
interest:
Il beg to call your attention to the
new Spanish customs tariff, which
seems specially aimed at American
manufactures. For instance, typewrit-
ers and Office labor saving apparatus
are heavily charged, the former some
thirty-two times what 1t was before,
but as the duty will now be payable on
the net instead of gross weight, 1t
really means only about sixteen times
what 1t formerly was. The tariff was
"a centimes of a peseta per kilo plus 20
per cent war tax on gross weight Now
1t is 800 pesetas per kilo plus 20 per
cent was tax on the net weight, and at
the current exchange is equal to Ga
cents United States currency per
pound weight"
The letter is signed by Spanish i'm
porter.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 21.-WHEAT-Wheat
opened steady today. September unchang-
ed at 72G1sc.- Trade for a time was al
most entirely local and extremely dull.
Liverpool showed a decline and trades
were accordingly rather bearish. Septem-
Der sold to 721s@Ac and then eased to
n7sc Buying credited to foreigners at
this point began to be felt and Septem-
Der rallied to 72ssc. The local crowd did
most of the selling. Local receipts were
and Duluth reported 254 cars against 309
last week and 306 year ago.
The export trade proved the feature of
the day, New York reporting sixty loads
taken. September, later in the session,
touched 721ac, dropped back to 721AGIAc,
and then rallied to 73c, closing strong
AQ7sc higher at 72AG73c.

part of the session. Trade started light
but soon improved. Light country accept

HIS ROUNDABOUT WAY.

fFren the Columbian.l
A man was going home to his wife and
family. 1t was growing dark. His road
from the station was a lonely one, and
he was getting along as fast as he could,
when he suddenly suspected that man
behind him was following him purposely.
The faster he went, the faster the man
went, until they came to graveyard
Now" he said to himself, TN find if
he's after me-" and he entered the
churchyard.
The man followed him. Vague visions
of revolvers and garroters grew upon
him. He made a detour of a splendid
mausoleum. Still the man was after
him, round and round.
At last he turned and faced the fellow,
and asked: What the dickens do you
want? What are you following me for?'
well, sir, do you always go home like
this? 1 am going up to Mr.. Brown s
house with a parcel, and the porter at
the station told me that if I'd follow you
I should find the place, as you live next
door. Are you going home at all to-
night?"

FROM MRS. MAVERICK.
American Prisoner interviewed
For First Time in IL Years.

London, Aug 21.-For the first time
since her life sentence was imposed IL
years ago. Mrs. Florence Maybrick had
a private interview with her counsel, Dr.
Clark Bell, of New York, at Alysbury
prison today. A portion OF the time
counsel gave up to a representative OF
the Associated Press, who through the
courtesy of the home Office was granted
an opportunity to talk to the prisoners.
Mrs. Maybrick is indignant at the at
tacks made by the Liverpool Post on
the late chief justice of England, Lord
Russell of Halloween, former counsel for
the prisoner.
The only person up to the present
who ever saw me alone" said she to the
Associated Press representative, was
the chief Justice. When the assizelS
came to the prison and asked to see me
as was his official right. When he was
starting to go he said: Mrs. Maybrick
am doing all in my power for your re-
lease. Whatever happens, remember this
that is If there is one man in England
who believes in your innocence am that
man.
1T was only by accident that heard
of Lord Russell's death, for 1 have not
seen newspaper for a decade But,
could not help but feel that in his death
had lost my best friend. 1t is an out
rage, in view of his constant and I'M
%LOA - anu Ii LA AAO NAAe~e
he should be attacked now that he is
dead. 1 fully appreciate and am glad
of the chance to express my gratitude
to the officials in Washington and to
my friends throughout America and es-
pecially the ladies, for what they are
doing. 1t is that alone which has up
held me all these years. I have many
friends in England, too, and cannot but
believe the time will soon come when
these long years of captivity will cease
and I shall be restored to my mother
and my country"
For the last few days Mrs. Maybrick
has been in hospital ward, owing to a
slight illness, but she says her health
is generally good.
The recent United States memorial is
still in the hands of the home secretary,
Sir Matthew White Ridley and Mrs
Maybrick's friends are hopeful that
when the answer comes it will be a
pardon
