sure of the relations between the gam
blers and certain members of the po-
lice department of the city by Dis
trict Attorney Whitman, comes the
rumor that as reward for his services
Mr.. Whitman may receive the nomina-
ton for Governor of New York from
almost any party that he cares to Sc
lect. The progressives are said to be
anxious to have him, and Ex-State
Superintendent of insurance Hotchkiss
is advocating the nomination of Judge
Whitman. The Democrats, too, are
said to be anxious to have him head
their state ticket. Certainly Mr.
Whitman would have no trouble find
ing a ticket, if he showed an inclina-
ton to run for Governor, for his work
in ferriting out the murderers of Ro-
senthal has brought him into interna-
tional prominence.

The Western Union has completely
cut off its ticker service to the New
York grain trade, which emphasizes
the unimportant position that this
city now occupies as one of the coun-
try's primary grain markets and the
small business that is passing here
both in speculative and exporting
way. The cutting off of this service
is due to the fact that tickers have
been in so little use by grain dealers
as to make the service Improbable
TO the Western Union. Five or six
years ago grain tickers were in uni
versal use by the commission houses
of the city, but with the falling off of
the grain trade in New York the SER
vice was gradually abandoned. What
is generally believed would make the
port of New York a very important
shipping point for grain is the estab-
lishment of a market for trading in
Manitoba wheat in bond. 1t is a known
fact that Canadian wheat is in much
better demand by foreigners than
American wheat owing to he compar-
alive cheapness, and there is now an
enormous amount for export, it being
claimed that this year alone the total
will be fully 125,0OOOOO bushels.

MAKING MORE POTATOES.

In Farm and Fireside, an agricul-
tural journal published at Springfield,
Ohio, appears the following:
while mountaineering is at pre-
sent far more important industry
than plant-breeding, the possibilities
of plant-breeding are the greater, ow-
ing to the large number of individuals
involved and the shorter time requir-
ed for a generation, and is now re-
ceiving considerable attention from
the scientist and farmer.
The potato is one of the staple
farm crops particularly adapted to
experimental work in this line. The
propagation is entirely by budding or
asexual methods, thus troubles due to
crossing, or dangers of unintentional
cross-fertilization are avoided.
THE method that appears to give
the best results in actual farm prac-
tice is that of selecting a number of
the best obtainable tubers and cutting
each into four pieces. These are
planted in four hills that are marked
IN such manner that can be disting-
uished at any time. When harvested
the product of each of the hill units
Is placed in paper sack and labeled.
These sacks are then weighed, the
number of marketable tubers count
ed, and examined for imperfections of
any kind.
The seed for the second crop is
selected from the best yielding units.
with consideration for size and shape
of the tuber. This process can be
kept up indefinitely. After the best
seed has been selected for the breed
ing plot, the remainder from the best
hills may be used for a multiplication
plot where commercial seed is grown.
The characteristic that should receive
attention, aside from increased yield,
are: the number in the hill, which
should be such as to give a medium
sized tuber, with the increased yield.
the shape and smoothness of the tu-
Der, and the ability Of the plant to re-
sist disease and insect enemies.
-Four years. work under these
methods have shown some interest
ing results. There appears to be
correlation between high-yielding hills
and resistance to disease and to the
ravages of the potato-beetles. Fifteen
per cent is a conservative estimate
Of the actual seed This does not take
into consideration the increased
quality of the crop.
"The ground used for a breeding
plot should all be in the same state
Of filth and fertility, and the charac-
ter of the soil should not vary. The
crop should be planted, cultivated and
fertilized in the same manner as the
field crop, excepting that, of course,
the seed must be planted by hand to
insure accuracy in the records"
