POTATO CHOP HASVESTED.
The potato crop has been har
vested and has proved to be quite a
profitable crop in most instance's.
A number ot those who have raised
potatoes this year believe they can
make potato raising- profitable at
20 cents per bushel. As the price
now stands at about forty cents,
the margin surely shows quite a
profit on this year's pototo crop.
And there is no doubt but this price
will hold good and is liable to ad
vance rather than go down. The
improved methods of planting by
machine and. harvesting by im
proved potato diggers make the
aforementioned statement come
within the bounds of reason. If we
omit the increased cost of the seed
potato crop can,now be grown al
most as cheaply as corn and the en
larged yield per acre give it an ad
vantage over corn. Sutherland

Brown Sugar Can't Be Boncht.
"The old fashioned molasses is rapid
ly disappearing as an article of com
merce," said a prominent grocer, "and
in its nlace have conin '.mmW nf
sirups which are more costly and by
HQ mean as satisfactory, especially to
the little ones, who delight, as we did
when we were young, in having 'lasses
on their bread. Most of the molasses
goes into the distilleries, whero it is
made into rum, for which, notwith
standing the efforts of our temperanco
workers, the demand is constantly on
the increase, especially in the .New
England states and for the export trade.
The regular drinker of rum will take no
other liquor in its place if he can help
it. It seems to reach the spot more di
rectly thau any other dram.
"The darker brown sugars have also
disappeared, and they are not likely to
return, owing to the methods of boiling
and the manufacture. Grauulated sugar
is of the same composition, as far as
saccharino qualities are concerned, as
loaf, cut loaf cube and crushed and
differs fropi.'iem only in that its crys
tals do not cohere. This is because it is
coustautly stirred during the process of
crystallization. The lighter brown sug
ars taste sweeter than the white, for
the reason that there is some molasses
in them. Housekeepers have difficulty
uiebH aayH in nnoiug coarse, dark sug
ars, wuicu are always preferred for use
in putting up sweet pickles, making
cases and similar uses. As they cannot
get Drown sugar any more, it may be
well for them to remember that they
can simulato brown sugar by adding a
teaspoon fnl of molasses to each quarter
of a pound of the white granulated sug
ar. This combination does as well in
all household rscipes that call for
brown sugar as the article itself, and
besides it saves them a great deal of
hunting for brown sugar, which, as
said before, has disappeared from the
market. " EaptrprtSeutinel. 1

How Bees Embalm.
Bees, says Horbis, can embalm as
successfully as could tho ancient Egyp
tians. It often happens in damp weather
that a slug or suail will enter a bee
hive. This is, of course, to the unpro
tected slug a case of sudden death. The
bees fall upon him and sting him to
death at once. But what to do with the
carcass becomes a vital question. If left
where it is, it will breed a regular
pestilence. Now comes in the clever
