The First Potatoes.

Sir Walter Raleigh, who shares w7fFD Sir Francis Drake the honor of first introducing the potato in Englao0.. lived at Brlxton, England, near EIiEu-- beth's House. Formby. In Lancashive- also claims the honor of being the Ssee~ of the first culture of the potato in thIt. country. They are said to have bes1a grown there, by Formby man ufna- sailed with Sir Walter
 The earliest cultivation of the potucns in the British islands was probably Hs- Youghal, on the south coast of Ireland where this great navigator had m ss-- tate.
 1t has been generally accepted thak. the potato was taken to Europe frvzUH Virginia and that 1t was cultivuteeS there by the natives. Sir Joseph BanksH and De Condelle both lent the weighr- of their authority to this view, bur ia has been ascertained that the IntfSuuxts' of Virginia, though they used q numbcA of tuberous roots, did not know our po tato.
 One of these was the plant sometiurcs< grown as an ornamental climber in ouy- gardens and called by botanists ApIuea tuberosa. The Indians called the rootsa potatoes, and the French Canadians knew them as nommes de terre, ansR our potato, being native of SoutLs4 America, was scarcely likely to be- known to the Indians of Virginia
 Yet the potato twas undoubtedly introduced in England as part of thss cargo of one of Sir Richard Grenv.fiafs ships and landed at Plymouth. and AAhr ship had gone direct from yirginfaraugC called nowhere on the way.

 Railroad RumbIes
 On December 1st the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad is to assume the management of that portion of the Central New England railroad between Hopewell and Campbell Hall. It is, of course, generally understood that the Central New England is under the man. agement, and practically owned by the New York, New Haven 6 Hartford road but so far as the accounts of the two are concerned, they are operated separately. About two years ago the N. Y, N. H. 6S H. road assumed the management of the Hopewell- Campbell Hall portion of the road, retained it about one month and after which the O. N. E. management was restored and has prevailed until the present time.
 The winter supply of coal is being placed in the Central New England yard. About 1000 tons have already been placed there and more is coming nearly every day. Last winter the com pany had about 1000 tons here. This coal is for use along the line and is, trans ferred to other points as needed. A portion of 1t is, of course, used in coaling the locomotives here.
 A westbound freight train was 'tied up'' here Monday night at six o'clock, under the working of the 16-hour law and the train crew had orders to start again at ten clock. But no start was made. When ten o'clock arrived the larger portion of the crew were in no condition to work and the train, or as much of it as possible, was attached to another freight and taken west. Every effort was made to get the crew of the first train in condition to continue the journey but to no avail, and it was not until Tuesday afternoon that it could proceed. It is, perhaps, unnecessary to say that these men are not in railroad employ to-day. .t....

PRESERVATION c= FORESTS

The Old Bay State Is Now Taking tssn
 initiative.
 The preservation of the forests fs s< portanee and in its outlook toward thx~ future. Without trees our country would be a desert, and the rapid den-- udation of our New England hills iss upon our streams and rivers and upcn' our water supply. The inventiou osf wood pulp paper and the rapid extrn- sion of the industry throughout tIss- country. together with the increase of newspaper circulation, have stimufateT the destruction of the forests to suelss a degree that steps are already being taken to preserve them before it fs soc~ late.
 Congress has attempted to take ak hand in the matter. but SO far wftIs little avail, and it now remains for the individual states affected to see wfErt- they can do. The first step would Ee~xrx to be the development of paper makkUE- from some rapidly growing and ana nually reappearing substance, sucb xrs cornstalk fiber, instead of from the slowly rising tree which cannot be rc-= placed except after years of renewal and growth. m
 As was to be expected, Massacfu- setts is taking the initiative To the governors of the other five New Eng land states Governor Guild has sezss out a request for conference, and fs will be held at the Algonquin clnfs in Boston on the 14th of September The six governors will then confer ardT deliberate over the best means to n4- taken for the preservation of our for ests, and if Is probable that arrange ments will be made for the calling VT New England business conference nsf some time immediately following kfn~ presidential election.

proof'' is undoubtedly a nature fakir. but If he selects the right varieties among the Japanese he will come much nearer than usual to the truth. In two rows in the college orchard of twenty two trees each. one of Red June and the other of Burbank, I found In reasonably long search not single specimen of black knot. And last year their record was almost equally clean On trees in adjoining rows of Engel- hart and Bradshaw, however. knots are all too abundant, though not nearly so bad as last season. They would probably average half a dozen knots to he tree this season. while last year the same trees yielded a couple of bushels of knots from the two rows
 While this is little discouraging to the man who wants to grow the domes- tic plums, as everybody does who wants high quality, still 1t Is surpris ing how little time is required to keep down this disease if it is taken in time and systematically handled. And it Is equally surprising how badly a tree can be affected and still be recovered satisfactorily. A few years ago the writer undertook to revive some old trees which would ordinarily have been cut down and put on the brush leap. They were q mass of knots from -op to bottom. We selected a time when the snow was on the ground so that the knots could be easily gathered up and cut out every vestige of the dis ease. though in some cases this left a pretty small proportion of the original tree. In removing knot we cut at
 east six inches below it, so as to be sure and take out the roots of the dis ease. That year the trees made big growth. often three or four feet, but good many new knots also came out which were removed that autumn, the trees also receiving two thorough sprayings with bordeaux mixture dur ing the summer.
 The following two years we did near ly all our cutting in the summer and found it much more satisfactory in Its results than cutting during the dor mant season. To begin with. as the knots were removed as soon as they appeared we saved the crop of sum- mer spores which would otherwise have spread the disease. Then, the knots being young and soft, we could ire quently shave them off and thus save the branch on which they grew. Last Iy. when it became necessary to cut out branch altogether, in getting rid of a knot. the tree, being still in growth, would at once fill in the space thus made, so that by autumn it could hardly be seen.
 This work was done in section where the black knot f1ourishes like the proverbial green bay tree, yet we found 1t by no means a serious matter to rid these trees of the disease and keep them reasonably free. Three cuttings during the summer, with an autumn clearing up (after the leaves were offl of the knots which had escaped thus far, combined with three applications of bordeaux mixture. did the work. Our sprayings were applied one be- fore the leaves opened, one after the blossoms fell and one about two weeks later. Lest some may think this pret- ty serious programme. l may say that the summer cutting the third season took just four and one-half hours for m orchard of ninety trees.

New York Preacher TO Repeat Gossip
With Names of Gossipers.

Utica, y. Y, June 1.-THE Rev.
Henry MacIlravy. who for several
years has been the pastor of a Little
Falls church, told his congregation
last evening that he was going to
curb the gossipers who live In the
town.
He was of the opinion that in Little
Falls there are just twelve fountain
heads OF gossip. and he said that
these twelve might well be matched
against all the other gossipers of the
country. they having tho qualities
and faculties amounting to genius in
gassip, and at least they would win
prizes in a contest. In order to curb
loose tongues Mr.. MacIlravy ANNOUNCE
ed that he had decided to set apart
one Sunday of the month to squelch-
ing gossipers.
He win on that day recite the gos-
sip. without the names of the victims
but with the names of the gosslpers
In this way the public will become ac-
quainted with the twelve gossipers'
names. and some who are not far be-
hind.
