How to Cook Potatoes.

Potatoes at this season are veay Door
eating, unless rightly cooked, and not
one in a hundred knows how to do that.
Treated as in the fall and winter, solid
and every way disagreeable. A Yer
mont woman, who has surprised as by
making old potatoes as good as new, dry,
mealy, and fresh, has disclosed to us
the process she puts them through. to
affect SO desirable result. The pota-
toes are pared and put to soak in cold
water from four to six hours; then Drop
ped into water which is already boiling
-an essential point /; and little salt
added to the water improves Them
Take them from the fire the moment
they are done pour off all the water and
let them stand uncovered in the kettle
over the fire till the water evaporates
from the surface, aud they are ready
for the table The result will astonish
those who try it for the first time, and
they will never return to the old meth
ed of boiling them with the skins on.--

on Curing Glover HaY.


Whether the grass be clover alone, or
clover and timothy, it should be cut
when from one-half to two thirds ofthe
clover blossoms have blown appear
ance. Let it be cut only in good hay
weather. From eleven to twelve o'clock,
A. NJ, spread all the hay which has been
moved since the previous noon, over the
ground. Between one and five O'Clock
rake it up and put it in cocks. It may
now stand from two to FIVE days, as may
be most convenient, when if the weather
be favorable, it will be iu good order to
put in the barn or stack. Roll the cocks
bottom side up an hour or us to before
hauling, so that the dampness rising
from the earth may dry of. Sprinkle
over about four quarts of salt to the ton,
whether it be put in the NOW or stack
When properly cured and stacked in
this manner, cattle and horses will leave
good grass pasture for this hay. II Is
better not to tramp it much in the NOW
and it viii come out in the winter as
bright and sweet as when it was put in.
Try it and see. A. AYLEswoRTH.--

Their Peter Francisco in these partsY''

other Peter Francisco in these parts?''
"No--uot that I know Of"
"Well, then, you're the man, and yot
mast fight. I've come all the way from
Old Kaintuck, and amt going bacl
without knowing which is the best man.
"But won't fight. I've got nothing
to fight about, and tell you I Won't
fight"
"Darn'd if you shaa't fight, stranger
Pm bound TO lick you if l can; if
don't, yon must lick me-"
BY this time Francisco had become
angry at the importantly of his visitor,
and detsrEsiaed to put an end to the
scene Ssizing his antagonist, therefore,
by the seat of his buckskin breeches and
the collar of his hunting shirt, he threw
him over the fence into the road then
walking leisurely to where his pony was
tied, unfastened him, and taking him up
by main strength, threw him after his
disconitted rider. .a.-s s
The Kentuckian raised himself from
the ground perfectly dumfouuded by
such an exhibition of strength; and,
af er rubbing his eyes as though he
Thoughts perhaps he might not have seen
clearly, he mounted the pony, remark
ing: "Well, stranger, I reckon you'll do.
I reckon its about time for me to make
tracks. If anybody asks you about that
great fight, you can tell 'em you licked
Bill Stokes most confoundedly."
Fre1cisco was powerfully built man,
standing six feet and one inch in height,
weighing two hundred pounds. His
muscular system was extraordinarily
developed, and he had been known to
shoulder with ease cannon weighing
one tiioustnd and one hundred pounds;
and gentleman of uudoubted veracity,
still living in Virginia, who knew him
we'll, says, "He could take me in his
right hand and pass over the room with
me, playing my head against the coiling
as though had been a doll baby. My
weight was one hundred and ninety
FIVE pounds.
His wife, who was woman of good
size and fair proportions, he would take
in bis right hand, and, holding her out
at arms length, would pass around the
room With her, and carry her up and
down stairs in this position. He would
take a barrel of cider by the chimes,
and, holding it to his mouth, would
drink from the bung long and hearty
draught without any apparent exertiop.
He was appointed Sergeant-at-arms of
the Virginia House of Delegates, in
which service he died in 1886. He was
buried with military honors in the pub
lie ground at Richmond, Virginia.
