Seed Potato Crazy.

The London Express of December
18th gives a market report which
would lead us to suspect that the
Johnnie Bulls who deal in potatoes
must have lost their heads. A new
variety called the Eidorado seems to
be all the rage and express reports
that on Monday they sold at $500 per
pound. on Tuesday at $3.50, and subse-
quently rose to s2,25o per pound, or
about s5,0oo,ooo per ton, which is
about eight times the value of pure
gold.
The question which one of our cor.
respondents asks, "What is the best
way to keep seed potatoes9' would. be
q very interesting one indeed when
they were worth eight times their
weight in gold. ~,
Our readers may ask: What on
earth has set Johnnie Bull so crazy
on potatoes?' Simply this: Every
variety of potato sooner or later runs
out, and in England it is estimated
that it requires but about twelve years
for variety to succumb to the fungus
diseases of that climate. There 10
good sense in this for every potato is
just as old as the first one developed
from the seed, just as every apple tree
propagated by grating or budding is
just as old as the Seeding from which
the variety originated. Both the gratis
and buds and cuttings of the potato
are part of the original plant. Hence
both in this country and in Europe
potatoes tend to run out, OF, rather
die out, just as men do.
The psculiarity Of this Eldorado
potato is that go far it has been able
to resist the diseases which sooner or
later attack every variety of potato.
Up until this year variety called the
Up-to-date has wishstood diseases, but
this year it has succumbed.
Of course it will be understood that
this buying of potatoes at the rate Of
$5, 900, 900 per ton is not by farmers,
large or small, but by seedsmen who
wish to secure as far as possible a
monopoly of The variety. II is hard
to tell what monopoly of any valu-
able new variety might be worth. An
ounce, for example, of tomato seed for
an improved variety would be worth
farm provide that monopoly was in the
hands of some one scotsman,

Cosgrove called to his companion to

The older said: Hold your head out

He made no effort to move the boat
and Cosgrove snatched the rifle and
leveled 1t at him, and, in a determined
voice, shouted: IF you don't get to
work and get this boat to shore I'll kill
you" The trip to land was made
quickly and Cosgrove was hurried to
his home, where a surgeon was sum-
moned. The examination developed
the marvellous fact that no bones were

the Japanese boy who was attracting
much attention and who was becom-
ing a general favorite at the Fourth

gone to work in the Nicollet hotel in
Minneapolis. Sentaro did not want to
leave Oskaloosa and is anxious to ac-
uuire an education, but he made the
change in the interest of his native
land, for whose cause in the war
against Russia he is raising $50. Sentaro
is still citizen of the Island Empire,
and while the Mikado does not ask him
to come home and join the army as his
brothers have done, he requests fnan-
cial help. Sentaro has therefore de-
cided to send $50, which will equip and
support a soldier for one year.

secured the job that he has decided
