portion of Maine and tli' smallest in

mtntoes are produced ill all the States
and most of the Territories that Inirdel
on Canada. In all o them, when the
facilities for transportation re good,
potatoes constitute a paying crop to
raise for 'li market. In Aroostook
County. Maine, live hundred bushels
of potatoes me not iiiifieiueutly raised

price in the mailt K Beat er Island,

high northern latitude it in practicable
to plant potatoes in tl fall and to dig
Ihcni in a vcar from the following
spring. On the islands in the great
lakes snow generally falls to a consid
erable depth before the noil in frozen,
and It protects from Injury the pota
toes that are In the ground.
Kxccllent early potatoes are rained In
nearly all the Southern States. It in

terribly mutilated. Hanging from a
telegraph pole, and lying along the
ground, was a broken telephone wire,
which had become crossed, or in con
nection with one of the ilectric light
wires. As Smith was pacing alon
the street he saw the wue burning,
and was attracted by the strange ap
pearance and evidently took hold of it
to at certain what it meant. The shock
he receivtd was terrific. He could not
looen his hold on the wire, and burnt
his hands lo the bone. In his writh
ings and contortions the charged wire
came in contact with his head, burn
ing out one of his eyes and laying the
sido of his face open. Wherever it
struck his body it cut like a knife.
Smith is now lying at the hospital, and
it is feared he will not recover."

Range far Poultry.
It is denirahle, Where' ft is possible,
to give fowls ample range. The care
is reduced to the minimum in such
cases, and ihe expense of ki oping is
much loss. But range is not abso
lutely indispensable. The number of
fowls which can be kept in health and
mado to pay in very limited quartern
is much larger than many, perhnps
the most, supiione. But to do this it '
ia neceasary to supply what fowliuipwit';
good range obtain for tUcinnclves.
Fowls upon an extensive ranite obtain
plenty of exercise, hy which their
health is promoted. Fowls in narrow
quarters must be induced to take a
corresponding amount of exercise if
they are to be kept equally healthy.
To do this various expedients, like
burying grain, hangiag up articles of
food just within iheir reach, and a
constant turning up of the koi! must
be resorted to. Fowls upon an ex
tended range obtain a variety of food.
especially of green ftjod and Insects.
rowls in narrow quarters must be fur
nished with a variety of food especially
of green and animal food. This is not
difficult, but it is very often neglected.
r owls upon an extended range obtain
clean ground, good dusting places and
the like. The first is obtainable by
constantly stirring the soil, using dis
infectants and the like, and the second
by furnishing a box provided with
toad-dust, sulphur, and so forth. In
brief, if quarters are kept clean, variety
of food furnished and exercise pro
moted, fowls may be kept in dote con
finement and their health will remain
vigorous. Some of the finest speci
mens have been raided in narrow quar
ters. But much greater care is neces
sary to produce the same results. It
remains exceedingly disirable, where
practicable, to furnish a good range,
but there are many men who are de
terred from keeping fowl simply from
the mistaken notion that what is de
sirable ia ali-o indutpenable. This no
tion ought to be removed, because it
is wholly false. It is difficult to im
agine any man, living outside of the
compact parts of a city, who cannot
keep a few fowls if be ia willing to take
the neceecary care. But if a man who
haa but limited space desires to keep
fowls, he should understand that he
must supply the things necessary to
health which fowls having a free range
are able to obtain fos ttieiuaulvva.

A writer in an exchange makes the
lol towing poiou on the chinch-bug
question :
L That it is useless to attempt to
raise spring wheat or barley where
chinch bugs have been present in any
considerable numbers the preceding
year, unless we have rearon to believe
that they have been killed off by heavy
rains.
2. Unit in case the season should be
favorable to the propagation of the
chinch bug, we always have it in our.
power to get rid of these pests by the
abandonment of these two kinds of
grains for one or two years. But. to
make this course effective there must
be a concert of action by farmers over
a considerable section of country.
3. That the presence of chinch bags
the preceding year will not revent the
raising of corn or any of the winter
grains.
4. With regard to oats the testimony
thus far is that if this grain be sown
where the chinch bngs abound, and
especially if it is sown exclusively, it '
mil be damaged to a greater or less ex
tent the first year, but that the bugs
probably will not continue to breed in
it to any great extent in the succeeding
years.

A fruit-raiser has the following to
say about fig culture:
I have been for the past fifteen years
in the experimenting and the testing
of different varieties of figs and the
soil best suited to their growth. My
observations have been that thev do .
well on moBt any kind of soil. I have
some growing on high, dry, sandy soil.
where it is twenty feet down to water, .
also some growing on stiff adobe not
more than five or six feet to water, and .
they will grow vigorously and well, la ,"
starting a fig to make a tree, its head;'
should lie as high as that of an apple ,
or peach tree, say three feet from the
ground. Be careful to keep oil all
sprouts that may start from the root, '
and especially as much so in clipping
off all limbs that may put out on the ,
under side of the first limbs that you
let start tor the head of your tree.
Should they be allowed to grow, they
will soon, after commencing to fruit,
have the mont of the itree1- spread out
on -Ihe ground. Young trees, well
cared for, will commence te ripen fruit
the second year, and will begin to pay ..
the third year. They will increase in ,
value yearly, without failure, for a pe
riod I am not able to say.
