Plan to Prevent Washinu,

The best plan to keep rolling land
from washing is to have the rows prop
erly laid out with a bevel, and in fiat
breaking the field always plow the
land in beds OF lands two or three
rows wide, instead of taking larger
lands or the whole field. as so many
do. This plan does not cause little
gullies to start about over the field,
because there is a good drain furrow
every second or third row. This is
better than bedding each row to itself
for such crops as orr and cotton, be
cause the drainage Is good. and at the
same time the crop can be planted on
a level.-Farm and Fireside.

FROST PROOF POTATOES.
New Zealand Reports That New Va.
riety Is Immune From Bliqht.

TICIy 10 I"ITIAI'S VI" oIj0NI.
1t is announced that an agriculturist
in New Zealand has discovered Il po-
tato which is proof against both blight
and frost. Great importance is at
tached to the find, which has been in
vestigated with satisfactory results by
government agricultural experts. The
%discoverer, it is said, has long been ex-
perimenting with potatoes, and some
years ago he noticed a healthy stalk
growing among a crop Of potato plants,
all Of which were affected by blight.
He took up the root Of the healthy
plant and, finding it in a perfect state,
began to experiment. The plant was
carefully nourished and tended, and
for several seasons a new crop was
propagated from the seeds Of the pre-
vious crop.
The variety has been kept under the
closest observation, but on no occasion
has there been the slightest trace Of
blight or disease caused by frost,
though the crop planted next to it has
been blackened by severe cold. SO
strong is the growth Of the new va
riety that some Of the tops can be ex-
tended to a length Of seven feet. The
tubers are the color of lemons, and
from ten to eleven pounds of them are
produced by a single stalk. The aver
age yield is about nineteen tons pei
acre. The land where it grows is
1900 feet above sea level, and the cold
is often so severe that potato cultiva.
ton has been regarded as impossible.

The party was composed OF a "a
Their, mother, a daughter nineteen
years old and a young man., also an
American, whose method of speaking
indicated that he was a southerner.
Opposite these persons sat a couple OF
young men in the uniform OF the Ger

them conversing in English, but no
being sure that none Of them spoke
German. they refrained for a time
from saying anything that they would
not like to have overheard.
But finally the younger Of the two
remarked to his friend in a low tone
that the young lady opposite was very
pretty. The other cautioned him to
say nothing about the party in their
hearing. but without effect. The young
man made several remarks that were
complimentary with a view to testing
the Americans comprehension OF the
German language, and when he dis
covered that they paid no attention to
him he gathered confidence and criti-
cised them unmercifully.
1t happened that the young man sit

name was Thibadeaux and his home
was New Orleans. He was a member
of a dueling corps and at the time its
champion. He spoke German huently,
