FARM AND GARDEN.

POINTS ABOUT POTATOES. Different Varlrtlr am! 11. m They May Iteadlly ll.tlii?uUl.-.l. To the majority of people there are only two classes of jKtatoes, the good and the poor. Farmers recognize four principal classes, but with the experts who makeastudy of their development the classes ro far beyond such a simple division, while the number of varieties is something overwhelming to a novice in potato lore. At the Columbian fair the New York potato exhibit alone contained two hundred and fifty varieties. Experiments which arc now being carried on to increase the quantity of starch in the potato have mtt with gTeat success. In Kuropc the Ocrmans stand at the head in potato culture, but IIUKIIANK CLASS, the French are pushing forward rapid ly, jo that the potato display at thd, recent l'arisagriculturalshow waseonbidercil the most notable exhibit. In America attention has been directed rather to the production of new varieties than to improvement by selec tion within a variety. These new varieties are produced every year, and when one is grown that has some quality which makes it superior to preceding sorts, it is sure to .find a foothold with potato growers and so tako It; place as a market variety in the class to which it belongs. Most of these varieties arc the product of careful crossing of the best sorts and the gradual development of the rejilting seedlings. When one is produced that pos4?sses such characteristics as to separate it from all its predecessors, it becomes the founder of a new class. Each variety derived from It, and resembling it more or less, is given a name to distinguish it from other varieties, but all belong to the same class, so that while growers recognize both variety and class, dealers acknowledge class only. The four principal clashes are the Iturbank, Hebron, Rom: and Peerless. the three first being for fall and winter use and the last for spring and HF.nilOX CT.ASS. early summer. In deciding wkxt varieties to plant, it is well to consider the demands of the market whiah is expected to furnish buyers, and the kind of soil and treatment required. Each variety has its likes and dislikes, and it will pay the grower to gratify .them. In order to distinguish the different types of potatoes, it may be said that the Iturbank class Includes all whit kidney-shaped potatoes, the leadisg varieties at this time being "Merniag Star." "White Star," Dandr, "White Flower." "Duttou's Seedling." etc The Hebron class includes all fleshcolored or pink and white mottled potatoes, the principal varieties being "White Elephant." "Jane Eatiag," "Gen. Garfield." "Albino," etc The Kose class includes all red potatoes, but is subdivided into thuee ia rosu ci-ass (omo DIVISION'). portant sections. The first, or Ohia division, is made up of all red or rosecolored potatoes, that ire short and cvlindrical in form, as "Early Electric," 'Early Market," "New Zealaad," Everett's Six Weeks," etc The second division of the. Rose class resembles in shape the Iturbank, but the color is red instead of white The present prominent varieties are "Summit," "Pearl of Savoy," "Xew York Central" and "Paris Kosc." The thinl section of the Rose class includes all the other shape and sizes of red potatoes, such as "Dakota Seedling," "Dakota Red." "Ideal," "Maggie Murphy," etc The shape of all potatoes of the fourth or Peerless class is round or oval. As this description is somewhat rKKIIt.ES CLASS. Mifllcading they be letter defined ai large, flat potatoes, being much broad' er and loBger than they are thick. Po tatoes of the Peerless class are not generally marketed until spring on ac count of their superior keeping quali ties. The prominent varieties are "Rural Itluak." red: "Hural Xcw Yorker."

If the fleeces arehvnre it Tiiav be necessary to in crease the dimensions of this box. Wool twine i about the size of a common lead pencil, and should always bo u-ed for tying the fleece when it can le obtained. It is neither small nor harsh enough to injure the fiber when drawn tightly. It is probably not so expensive as other twines. Orange Judd Farmer. SHEARING THE SHEEP. Tlmrlv Illat About Inr.lne the Vala of thr Wool, Ktc. Sheep .hearing is now in progress in different parts of the country, and the following, taken from an exchange. will be read with interest: The best authorities on wool are the buyers thetnM?lves. I have sold ray lots of wool, for nearly a lifetime, to the same factory, but I have learned that what they want is wool clear oi burrs and hayseed ami other trashThey claim that unequal feeding, reducing the flesh of the sheep, makes an uneven trength of fiber and uneven cloth as well, injurious to manufactureThey want the fleece delivered unbroken that it may be sorted by experts to suit the fineness of the cloth. 1 try to please parchaxrs and conform to their will, not mine. Yel the sheep are better for this. I make platforms for the shearers ol large useless doors, which are better than fixtures or elastic planks which aid the sheep to tangle the wool in turning over. The tags are cut off before the fleece, and thus its fracture ii avoided. In consequence. I get about Ihre cents per pound more than careless breeders, and that three cents is clear profit. When the coat i off. it is spread on the doors and done up in three layers, rolled closely together and tied once with strong twine. This is better than two ties, which may loosen the wool in crowding it into the sacks for transportation, the approach to a ball being best- That nothing may be wasted, the tags are given away or washed on the shears aa4 put into separate baes and labeled. The tags are then worth as much a the fuU fleece. Every sensible man takes care it. waall savings. They are pare profits and generally make the rich in all lands. Tra-ii and burrs break the continuity of the wool and allow cold and rain to injure the sheep which are clothed with wool by nature because they are sensitive to climatic changes. AMONG THE POULTRY. Fr.r.nixo too much corn will produce apoplexy. Ir is a good plan to put sitti Hg hens on the Best in the evening. Tun breed that lays a great many eggs does not produce the best table fowls. High feeding and excessive fat will cause even a naturally non sitting hen to sitCnowi:n bens cannot do as well in Cpg production as hens that are no crowded can. Fkksii eggs are heavier than old ones, and that is one reason why selling' eggs by weight is sometimes advo-cated-Chickks meat is the eoual of anv meat that comes on the tabic, and it costs less to produce it than it does to produce either pork, beef or mutton. For turkey raising, says a writer is Farm and Home, I set a hen on 13eggs thev all hatched and lived by feeding hard boilad efgs and light bread crumbs the first two week! then cracked wheat.
