Seed should be placed under shed
or some protected spot, and covered
carefully with clean sacks or leaves.
Be sure to cover it sufficiently to stand
a temperature of 10 degrees below
freezing. About five weeks before
planting remove the cover and spread
the tubers out so they are fully ex-
posed to the light mot the direct rays
of the SUM. Cut the tubers about
two days before planting, and place
them i'm a dry place so as to allow
formation of "callus' before planting.
Medium-size tubers are more desirable
than large ones. Sprinkling slaked
lime over the moist cut surface of the
tuber is an excellent practice. Re
move at once all tubers showing the
least sign of rot. l am of the opinion
that you would lose most OF your
seed if YOU watered it in the bed.

Handling Seed Potatoes in Florida.

I1dHuIlIiS 0CCQ 1OtdtOCS III HiOiioo.
The following, which appeared in
the Rural New Yorker, explains it's
self and needs no comment:
1 have Just ordered some very fine
and costly Irish potatoes as seed to
plant for winter crop, and am anxious
not to raise diseased tubers, and to
make as good success as possible with
them, as | wish to use this crop after
they are harvested in November for
seed to plant i'm December for early
spring crop So / write you, as best
practical authority, l know of, to
answer the following questions: After
receiving the nOrthern-grOwn seed po-
tatOes and cutting them, would you
advise placing them spread out in sun
green, or would it be best to green
them i'm sun and then cut? AS soon
as cut, would you advise sprinkling
well Slaked lime over cut pieces?
Would you advise after above is done
to soak them in a solution of two
ounces corrosive sublimate mixed in
10 gallons water for one and One-half
hour, planting Immediately? Would
it be a more certain way to bed them
(after above is dOne), and mulch bed
with leaves, watering till they begin
to sprout, and then plant? J. S. c.
Dade Co., Florida.
We grow our seed in Virginia,
Massachusetts and Maine. For best
results we think they should be ship
ped here December 1 sure, and then
spread out thin in some partially
lighted ROOM from two to four weeks
We do not cut till we are ready TO
n
seed sprOuting that is grown as far
north as Massachusetts,, but the Vir-
ginia seed wants more time and light.
We usually plant at Hastings about
first week to last week i'm January.
so YOU see the seed coming here first
of December will want to be spread
pretty thin. or sprouts will become
too tender and white, but with the
seed only one layer deep and plenty
of light they will come very stubbed
and strong. l would not cut On any
account till ready to plant G. W. l..

Your reader will have no trouble
to keep his potatoes from November
until December; l can keep potatoes
from April until Christmas. l have
done so by putting them under the
house, a dark, dry and cool place,
with plenty of ventilation. Do not
advise your reader to depend on home
grown seed for his main or spring
crop: it will not do well Our expert
ence is to save seed from spring to
plant i'm the fall, but always get north
ern grown for spring crop. 1t will not
be necessary to sprOut the seed, eX-
cept i'm case of cool and wet weather,
delaying planting. He could sprout
them by cutting the seed and spread
ing out evenly on barn floor, cover
ing lightly with sand one inch thick,
and keeping moist. l have had pota-
toes up in three days in this way.
This will insure a better stand.

THE SUPREME COURT
Railroad Case Set for Hearing Post
 poned for at Least a Day.

On account of the illness of F. s. Ives, attorney for the respondent, the hearing of the petition in the case of the Phoenix & Eastern against the Arizona Eastern for writ of supersed- eas, was postponed. No time was set for it. but if MT. Ives has recovered by today the matter will probably be heard
 There was a hearing of the case of the United States. appellant, against Albert J. Griswold and others, appel lee, from the first district Griswold was in 1901 postmaster at Nogales. On March 21 of that year P. Sandoval SS Co. the bankers, sent to the pOstOffice a package to be registered. It con tained S5,00O in Mexican money, of the value of S2,400 United States money and was to be sent to Bisbee. The messenger who took it to rhe postoffice was Fred DatO. and on the way he met Francisco Gaxiola, a boy, and told him what the package contained.
 The package. having been registered, was put into a pouch and thrown on the floor of the office. there being no room in the safe for it. There was a clerk employed at the office, but at dinner time he was absent, and Post master Griswold. locking up the office ] " public is always admitted. went to dinner. The business or operating de- partment of the office is seperated from the general delivery by a parti- i tion about seven feet high. Gaxiola, seeing that the office was not occu- i pied, climbed over the partition. cut open the pouch and took the package, i in some way leaving S537.
 i Suit was brought by the government 1 against the postmaster and his bonds
 men, alleging negligence, and in the l lower court judgment was rendered in | his favor. An appeal was taken on the l ground that testimony offered by the ! government had been excluded, and | that testimony for the defense had l been put in over the objection of the i government. Objection was also made
 to the instructions. particularly to one
 in which the court said that while the | postmaster was required to exercise
 reasonable care in the discharge of his
 duties, it was not necessary that he | should take every precaution which human ingenuity could devise.
 The case was argued by MT. Nave, | United States attorney for the appel lant, and by MT. Lockwood of NOgales for the appellee.
 The case of the United States
 against w. k. Meade and others was
 set for trial. The appellee was United States marshal for this territory under i the administration of President Cleve- land. The suit is brought against. him
 for the recovery of money paid on his official claims. Subsequent to the pay
 ment of the claims, the United States
 supreme court decided that they were illegal. They amounted altogether to
 about s2.000. but in the course of his official career as marshal MT Meade
 had three bonds, and he is in this case being sued on only one of them. The
 amount involved in the action is about
 $500. In the event of q judgment in
 favor of the government. suit will be
 brought against MT. Meade and the
 other sets of bondsmen.

London, April 90.-The stock exchange

who were carrying heavy load of stocks
were frightened by the temperance of

American stocks is thought, however, in
many quarters to have been a shake-out
of weak holders. which will do good, and
steader rates are looked for soon. The
week passed off with but one small fall

TWO-CENT FARES

In consular reports from England, and
