THE BEST BID.

Some people are afflicted with mania
forbuying secondhand articles at auction.
They watch the announcement of these
sales with eager scrutiny, and are always
on hand at an early hour, ready to buy
anything from broken mirror or spoiled
carpet down TO adilapidaled hand furnace
or split rolling-pin. No matter whether
they need an article OF not-they are al
ways ready to bid for it. No matter II the
purchase of an article will reduce them
to melancholy straits. they will bid, and
bid, aud bid upon it, however high II may
be run up. Ifthere is any place of bust
ness which unsophisticated people should
avoid, il is an auction room, and when
they chance to find themselves in one,
the best bid they can make is to bid the
auctioneers goodbye as soon as possible.

Spelling PoTAroEs-Is it any won
der that we rarely if ever see such a
thing as good potatoes in this city,
where every dealer takes the most eff
fectual way in his power tospoil them
for food2 Is it possible that people
who grow potatoes, or those who are
constantly dealing in them. do not
know that they are always injured
by exposure to the light, and ii the
exposure is continued long enough,
they are utterly ruined? SO great is
the change that a tuber, naturally
meaiy, nutritious and palstable, is
changed by exposure to light, and by
that alone, during its ripening pc
riod, to a green, bitter. watery mass;
and every hour that potato is expo
sed to the light, after taking it out of
its dark bed where il grew, it is in
jured in some degree, though not ac-
tually spoiled until it has been expo
sed for a long period There is no
way ofpreserving potatoes fit TO eat,
except by keeping them in darkness.
Let this be remembered.

VALLEY FARMER.


Col. HARRIS, ofthe Ohio Cultivator,
has been looking into his neighbors
hen roosts, not with felonious Intent,
however. and the following facts and
fancies show heresult, on the SUBJ
jcct Of the poultry crop:
Few people are aware Of the value
ofthc poultry crop ofthc country We
have no official statisticsto showwhat
it il worth, but have taken omepains
TO arrive at good guess, by careful
observation, comparison and estima-
ton, during the past season. We
have actual reports from several ship
ping points in Ohio, and for the rest
will give the result of our own cAcK-
LE-ations based upon tho actual and
possible yield Oh hens, as they areand
can DO kept under ordinary circum-
stances by farmers.
Suppose every farmer to keep ten
hens-a low estimate--worth ten
cents each at home. If these are a
good, we'll bred sort Of hens, ms they
should be they viii each lay four doz-
en- Of eggs IN the year, besides doz-
en- or fifteon In early Spring, from
which they should raise ten chickens.
(One Of LIS common hens has rails
ed twenty chickens at two settings,
and will still make out her four doz-
en- Of eggs in the season. Thcn we
have one mans hen crop, thus:
10 hens, worth athome 10 each, 81 90
10 chickens from each, at l0cts, 1000
) dozen of eggs. each 10 cts, 400
