Among  the  anomalies  of  nomenclature  noticed  in 
our  market  reports,  are  the  words,  “Irish  potatoes,” 
applied  to  our  common  potato.  The  potato  is  purely 
an  American— Ireland  never  saw  one  until  It  was  sent 
there  from  this  continent.  The  same  is  true  of  the 
tomato.  Owing  to  the  very  large  use  of  this  fruit  in 
Southern  Europe,  many  persons  are  of  the  opinion 
that  the  tomato  was  a  native  of  that  section. 
The  National  Association  of  Oxford  Down  Breeders 
held  their  annual  meeting  at  Columbus,  O.,  January 
12.  Treasurer’s  report  shows  a  balance  of  $1,685.69  in 
the  treasury  with  all  the  debts  paid  There  are  now 
2,907  pedigrees  in  for  Volume  V,  which  was  closed  for 
entries  February  1,  and  will  be  published  as  soon  as 
possible.  Quite  a  number  of  new  members  were  ad-  | 
mitted  to  the  Association.  The  sum  of  $1,175  was 
voted  in  cash  prizes  to  be  given  at  the  Columbian  Ex¬ 
position  in  1893. 
A  Western  reader  of  The  Rural  New-Yorker 
who  recently  visited  the  East,  desires  us  to  say  that 
for  elegance  and  comfort  the  Erie  Railway  route  from 
New  York  to  Chicago  excels  all  others  that  he  has 
tried,  and  he  has  used  them  all,  or  nearly  all.  He  says 
it  is  steadily  growing  in  favor  with  the  traveling  pub¬ 
lic,  and  cites  the  solid  through  vestibule  trains  as  one 
of  its  good  features  among  many.  Railroad  travel 
is  hard  work  at  best,  and  it  is  well  to  know  the  best 
routes  when  we  start  out  on  a  journey. 
GENESEE  County,  N.Y.-We  are  having  old-fash¬ 
ioned  winter  weather  and  good  sleighing.  There  is 
plenty  of  snow  to  cover  up  wheat,  which  went  into 
wlnterquarters  looking  pretty  rusty.  Wheat  is  near 
the  dollar  mark  and  is  nearly  all  out  of  first  hands. 
Hay  not  plentiful.  I  understand  that  a  company 
has  been  buying  and  baling  it  and  that  it  is  holding 
it  for  a  big  price.  Oats  have  dropped  back  a  few 
cents,  on  account  of  corn  being  more  abundant. 
Potatoes  are  doing  a  trifle  better.  I  received  word 
from  the  northern  part  of  Michigan,  a  few  days  ago, 
that  there  were  150  car-loads  in  one  place  waiting 
for  a  better  price ;  they  are  now  worth  18  cents.  Apples 
do  not  improve  much;  very  few  are  held  by  farmers; 
the  speculators  got  hold  of  the  wrong  end  of  the  deal 
last  fall.  Farmers  are  drawing  manure  on  the  snow, 
as  it  handles  much  easier  than  on  a  wagon.  Taxes 
are  not  so  high  as  last  year.  Why  not  tax  mortgages 
as  well  as  land  ?  c>  F-
