POTATO FAILURES.
Negligence in the Selection of
Tubers for Seed.

One very common cause of failure
in potato growing is poor seed, and
some growers do not realize this for
the reason that poor seed may give
them good yield in a favorable sea-
son. If the soil is rich, and the
weather favors the plants, quite poor
seed may start crop that will yield
very we'll. The yield is good despite
the character of the seed, and then
the grower infers that such seed is
good enough, but in a bad year he
makes a failure and attributes it
wholly to conditions over which he
has no control. The foundation for
good yield in a rather bad year is
laid when seed of the greatest vital
ity is planted. A strong sprout is
wanted-one that can help itself. AS
the potato is most vigorous in a cold
climate, the seed should come from
such sections at least every second
year. 1t is bad economy to plant
anything that has not lot of vigor
in it. Don't start the crop at a dis
advantage; there is much surer profit
from an investment in the very best
seed obtainable.
1t is a common expression of some
growers that they cannot afford to
get potatoes from a distance for
planting. Usually they are the ones
who can least afford not to do so.
If you have been using sprouted and
inferior stuff, let me urge a test
prove the correctness of my asser
ton. Get some solid northern pota-
toes of the variety that is being
used, and plant few rows in the
center of the patch or field, and dig
the strip separately. L do not recall
single instance where this has been
tried that the grower did not regret
at digging-time that the more vigor-
Gus stock had not been used. The
difference is less marked in a good
year, but it exists in some degree
any season, and amounts to a hig
thing in an unfavorable year. We
are after a crop when others fail and
prices are high, and no one has a
right to expect it from such seed as
many growers are using. If your
supply for planting was grown from
small potatoes, or if it is sprouted
and weakened, make the test for
yourself along the line suggested
Farm and Fireside.

Putting Trees to sleep.

Stunted trees ard shrubs of the Jap
anese have been the wonder and envy
of gardeners the world over. a Ger
man chemist now comes along and
does something which even the Japan
csc could hardly be expected to do. He
has prepared fluid that has the power,
when injected into the tissues of o
plant near its roots, of anaesthetizine
the plant. AS result of this injection
the plant does not die but stops grow
ing, maintaining its fresh green ap-
pearance, though it's vitality is appar.
emily suspended. Changes in temper
allure seem in no wise to affect the
foliage, for the plant blooms in the
open as well as in the most carefully
constructed horhoUse. The compost
ton of the fluid is shrouded in the
greatest mystery.

He DIDN'T FEAR THEM.
The DostOr's Dead Patients Were Not
q Source of Any Great Annoy
ance with Him.

There is a doctor of the old school in one
of the New England villages near Ran
dolph, Mass, the former nome of Mary
E. Wilkins, whose house is surrounded by a
cemetery. The cemetery is behind the
house, and comes up flush with the road on
either side, running off to east and west for
an eighth of mile. Some might find such a
house lot doleful, and surely the neighbors are
not lively. But that thought never troubled
the villagers SO much as the prospect of
going home at night, says the New York
Tribune. In the country towns of New
England the graveyard at night is still a
thing of terror, an inherited terror. There
are still towns where al the graves are dug
on line running due east and west, with the
footstones toward the east, SO hat the dead
may rise face to face with the Judge on the
last day. So the doctor is often asked the
question: Are you not afraid to go home
sometimes at night"
And his answer is always the same: "No;
my neighbors will never trouble me; they
all owe me money"

War on the Cut Worms.

The poisoned bait for cut worms is
made by mixing at the rate of one
pound of Paris green to so pounds OF
bran, the latter first moistened will
water, but dry enough to crumble,
says the Boston Cultivator. Some add
a little sugar or mol~sses to the water
to make it more tempting, and others
mix cut green clover or clover hay with
it, that birds may not be so likely to
pick it up, but the above are the essen
tial parts. Put spoonfuls of it near
each hill or along the rows where the
worms are plentiful, just before night,
and the worms will prefer it to the
plants, and be found dead there in the
morning. Do not use it where poultry
will get at it. Larger animals will
scarcely be able to pick up enough to
do much harm, but it is better to keep
them away and to bury it after it has
done its work. We do not know
whether a line of it would destroy the
army worm or not.

The clearing of forests and the re-

The most prominent arrival was that

who insists that he is "as good friend
of Senator Hanna as ever" but that he
was pledged to Price for Speaker before
the Junior Ohio Senator broke with
Price, and that he is here now to do
all he can for Price, and this includes
the support of candidates for clerk and
other places who can bring strength to
Price.
The leadership of the anti-Hanna side
was conceded to Cox on his arrival.
