GROWING POTATOES.

The editor has often wondered why more
potatoes are not grown in the small grain
belt To maintain the productiveness Of the
soil, it is necessary to grow cultivated crop
in rotation with the small grain and no other
crop where corn can not be grown enters into
a rotation with small grain any better than po-
tatoes. After the seed is in the ground, the
potato is no harder to tend than corn. It ma
lures earlier and usually shows a larger return
than any other cultivated crop.
Cultivation Of this crop, like cucumbers,
should begin before the seed is planted. The
principal cause Of failure, if the late varieties
are grown, is that the seed is generally planted
too soon. Of course, in sections where late
blight is present, it is important to plant
early so the tubers will be nearly matured be-
fore the attack comes Disk the ground twice
before the seed is planted. The first disking
should be done about a week before the time

LIFE SKETCH OF HON. J. N. Tw1TTY.

j. N. Twitty was born in Jackson county
in the year 1852. With the exception Of one
year, his life has been spent in the counties
of Jackson Gwinnett and Hail.
He was reared on farm and never missed
helping raise a crop from the time he was
large enough to drop corn till he was old
enough to drop a ballot.
In 1872 his fathers family moved to
Gainesville, where death claimed his mother
and brother.
At twenty he was without money, home, or
education. He had attended school but lit
tie, for the years succeeding the war were
not favorable to the boys living in the coun-
try who wanted an education. From laying
by time to fodder-pulling time was the only
bit Of the year in which he could attend school,

note for it with interest at 2 per cent, then
hand the money back to the lender at IL of
one per cent interest, would you be acting like
a sensible man, or like fool? That is just
what our government is doing by the bankers
(and exempting them from taxation in the
bargain), but these favors are not extended to
any but bankers.
If our people were starving, and our govern
ment had billion Of bushels of grain, and
the grain trusts would hinder the government
from supplying the people upon the theory
that the grain business must be left to them,
and a single infringement by the government
would make a precedent that would be intol-
cradle to such trusts, should we let such ty-
rants have their own way?
There is now money famine, and although
the courts have settled it that the government
can issue greenbacks at any time in such guam
titles as are needed and although greenbacks
are better money than bank paper from the
fact that they are a legal tender between in
dividuals generally, which bank paper is not;
and although it is no more necessary that
greenbacks should rob the treasury Of gold by
their being redeemable in gold than that bank
paper should thus rob the treasury, yet every
proposition from the FLUTES for bridging over
the present emergency is some crazy clap
trap Of a continuance by which the gov
eminent must really meet the case and ac-
compGsh the work but give to the bankers
all the profits.
The American people have not only been
treated as idiots, but their true representatives
have been crushed to the earth by the impe-
rious hosts of insolvent greed till the voice
Of protest was hardly heard in the land. The
goddess of truth by iron hoofs has been beaten
to the earth. The honest system they (the
Plutes) said was theirs-the best system on
earth-the strong system; but now they are
crying out to the erstwhile idiots and anar-
chists, save US, save us for Gods sake, save
rs! Don't draw out your money from the
banks; if you do it will ruin the country

of planting. Just before planting, disk again
and harrow as many times as necessary to
pulverize every clod. Then mark off the
ground and plant the seed, covering them by
filling the furrow about half full Of mellow
dirt
In week make the first cultivation, whether
the plants are up or not. The first one or two
civilizations may be made with harrow if the
potato rows are deep enough so the harrow
will not cut into the hill. In driving across
the field, care should be exercised to prevent
the horses from getting into the rows and
tramplng out the tender shoot which may
just be appearing, or so packing the ground
as to make it difficult for the shoots to come
through. Some advise narrowing the potatoes,
allowing the teeth Of the harrow to cut into
the rows. But this is certainly a very bad
practice. If the harrow teeth will kill the
weeds they will certainly kill the potatoes If
the rows themselves are few inches lower
than the space between them, the harrow will
cut out all the weeds in the middles and roll
enough mellow dirt into the rows to cover up
weeds without obstructing the potato shoots
from coming through the ground. AS soon as
the plants are an inch or more above the
ground, the small shovel cultivator may be
used to fill in the rows Each cultivation
should cause enough dirt to fall in the furrow
to cover up all the weeds without entirely COW
erlng the potato plant. The plant may be par
TALLY covered, but it will soon push it's way
out.
After the plants are two or three inches
above the level Of the ground, the throwing of
cirt to the plants should cease and the cultiva-
tlons which follow may be only to conserve
moisture. The writer is not much of be-
lever IN rldging the ground for potatoes. Aft
er the ground is once ridged it will be almost
impossible to cover up any weeds in the rows,
and narrow ridge Of dirt is made which is
easily dried out and upon which it is impossi-
BILE to make dirt mulch to prevent the loss
OF moisture by evaporation.--Fa1 Advo-

STOCK SENSE.

The British Isles have almost half as many
sheep the entire United States.
Horses may be fed too soon after working
and worked too soon after feeding.
To sell the good breeders is like letting go
the goose that lays the golden eggs.
The blackboard is named for DR.. Buck, who
used it way back in transporting goods
It is quite common for the anxious man to
derange the digestion Of his cattle by over
feeding.
A colt should never be leased. He will
probably form the habit Of biting and snap
ping, and will indulge in it when it is very
enjoying for him to do so.
The Ontario Station says that hogs which
do not have much range crave mineral food
They should have charcoal, mortar, soft COAL
rotten wood, ashes, etc.
Successful swine breeders keep plenty Of
ashes and charcoal within easy reach of their
hogs. They furnish lime for the bones and
alkali for the digestion.
The Missouri Experiment Station found the
best results were secured by feeding pigs a
ration of one part oil meal and five parts
corn meal.
A prominent breeder of Morgan horses says
that the breeding Of horses has never been
more profitable than for the past few years.
The demand has been better and the prices
higher.
Probably the best type Of a farm horse is
the medium-sized, well-built, hardy ANIMAL
weighing not less than 1000, and probably not
more than / 400 to 1000 pounds. He should
be active, vigorous; fast walker, with pIen~
ty of intelligence and endurance.
One of the most important habits to be
taught to colt is to stand when tied When
young it should be securely fastened, so that
it would be impossible for it to break loose.
After few fruitless efforts it will never try
any mOre.-Texas Farmer.

Suffer Creek state Bank.

Frederick Budey, receiver of the
Sutter Creek bank, recently petition
ed the court to allow him to return
s2OO to the bank commissioners, this
telng an amount which they failed
TO hold out when they turned over
the funds of the bank to the re-
celver The cash on hard at that
time was SG,O36.O O2. When the com
missoners took charge of the bank
and closed its doors they appointed a
receiver, agreeing to pay him Si0O,
but through some misunderstanding
the commissioners held out only
500, turning over s6,O36,2O to the
receiver. The court ordered the
other $500 paid the commissioners,
who in turn will pay it to Soracoo.
Some time before the closing of the
bank V. M. Colt entered into con
tract with various parties to erect
Cemetery monuments, the contracts
amounting to Sl7S5, the work to be
completed at different dates com
menoing the first of February this
year 1t is claimed that the bank
had standing agreement with the
Vermont Marble Co. of San Fran
cisco, guaranteeing payment of all
orders sent in by Colt. Just before
the closing Of the bank, that institu-
tion entered into agreement with
Colt whereby they were to furnish
the material for completing the
monuments, the contracts for the
work being turned over to the hank
for collection. But before any
material was ordered the commits
sioners closed the bank, so it could
not complete the agreement. On ac
count of orders on previous contracts
Colt was allowed to overdraw his
account Sl6S4S4. Eudey, as receiver,
succeeded in making an arrangement
with Colt whereby the bank stands
less chance of losing the whole
amount. He agreed to turn over to
Colt the contracts mentioned above,
while the latter valves all claims
against the bank tor the non compile
tion of its contract, pays $50 by an
accepted order on Carlo Ginvannoni
payable in thirty days, and also
agreed to give Eudey his promissory
note for the am cunt of the overdraft,
with interest at seven per cent. On
petition of Eudey, The court made
an order Wednesday allowing him to
complete the agreement.
The Vermont Marble Co. has
claim against the Sutter Creek bank
for Sl062 2S for material furnished
Colt on previous orders, the payment
of which they claim was guaranteed

Fire Near Aetna School.

A brush fire started Tuesday after
noon IN small raviue near the
Aetna schoolhouse. The fire is re-
ported to have originated in
singular manner, Illustrating how
contiagratious may be started without
the least oulpablity attaching to any
one. 1t seems that boy on horse
back was after cattle, and the horse's
shoes struck hard rock or glass in
such way as to produce a number
of sparks. The sparks set tire to the
dry grass, and in an instant the
flames were beyond his control.
Neighbors telephoned to town for
help, and number of townspeople
started for the scene, and managed to
put it out after working for an hour
or more. The fire swept over por-
tiou Of the Martin ranch, aud burned
mp to within few yards of the dwell
ing house.
