HOW TO KEEP SWEET POTATOES.
A Corrosnondont rs Tho OsLa1oo,, uo.,la

A Correspondent of the Oskaloosa Herald
gives his method of keeping the sweet potatoe
through the winter.
"Since the rot in the Irish potatoes has be-
come so common, keeping the sweet potatoe
through the winter has become an object of in
terest to all classes of peopc. AS l have had
eight years experience in the business, I think
l know something about it am therefore will
ling the people should know all that I do about
the thing.
1 use dry sand to put them up int don't
matter how the sand is dried, on a kiln, in a log
heap, or in the sun, so it is dry, that is all that
is required. l prefer drying in a log-heap, as
1t costs at least four times less. and is Just as
good. Any family that has a little room with
a stove in it, may keep a box or two of eight or
ten bushels, without much inconvenience. The
boxes must be raised six or eight inches from
the floor, and they must not be nearer than four
inches Of the wall. Fill the box with potatoes,
and then put in the sand, cover the potatoes
with sand. There is a good deal said about kiln
dried sand, but it is all fudge. I have known
potatoes kept two years in sand dried in the sun.
I have also known them kept we'll in buckwheat
chat. In order to keep potatoes with success.
there must be a thermometer kept in the room.
The murcury must not sink below 40S; if it
does, the potatoes will chill and rot; it also must
not raise much above COS, or they will grow.
never lost any Of my potatoes only by letting
the room get too cold. A thermometer only costs
a dollar, and every man ought to have one"

BEST LOCATIONS FOR SHEEP AND
FRITZ.

The fact that the farmers of the northwest.
are turning their attention more to raising stock
than formerly, shows a wise foresight in their
business. l lived ten years in q wool growing
district, (Alleghany Co. Pa. and helped to take
care of sheep. Wool growing there was consid-
cred the most profitable business that the far
mcr could engage in; and what is true of that
region, will apply to the hilly parts of the north
west. Sheep may do we'll on our level, dry
prairies, but that they do better in a hilly dis
trict there is no question in my mind. They APP
pear to love the hills-always selecting the
highest ground in their enclosures on which to
rest at night.
1t appears to me that our billy and oak open
ing lands are particularly adapted to sheep and
fruit raising--that nature designed them more
for these than any other purposes. Large tracts
of land near the Mississippi and other large
streams-though good soil, is too much broken
into ~ravines and hills to admit of profitable cul-
~tivation. This is the place for sheep pastures.
As the wild grass disappears, there is a kind of
blue grass that naturally takes its place and
makes most excellent pasture for sheep. BY
selecting the most level portions of this kind of
land for raising hay and grain, the best sheep
and fruit farms may be made. Hill side land
that gullies with heavy rains should be kept in
grass.
My experience with sheep, is, that they do
best with but little grain, if they have enough
good timothy and good shelter. In fact, With
such care they will winter we'll enough without
any grain at all.-Feed and shelter sheep prop
perly and they arc no more liable to disease
than any other kind of stock. I consider oats
better than corn for sheep.--NorM Western

PEACHES IN POTS.

The Connecticut Homestead notes that in the
garden of D. T. Colt, near Hartford, peaches are
to be seen the present season. But they are
grown in sixteen inch pots or boxes, and are
kept in orchard houses during winter. The
trees by this plan are severely headed in, and
kept Of course within a small compass, each tree
bearing about twenty-five or thirty peaches.
This method Of cultivation is claimed to be more
certain to yied fruit, and after the house is up is
not so very expensive. We note that for peach
es, plums, and some of the fine stone fruits,
strong efforts are being made to introduce the
orchard house syatem,

A Coon Thing IN THE Story LINE-Some
years ago, a Cincinnati paper received and
printed the first chapter of what appeared TO
be thrilling romance, in the expectation Of
being provided with the concluding portions as
might be needed. The chapter was very in
geniouSly written, and concluded by leaving
the principal character suspended by the pan
falcons from the limb of tree over perpen-
dicular precipice. 1t attracted the attention
of the press, aud inquiries began to be made
concerning the continuation Of the fate Of its
hero. Day after day the vctimized publish
ers looked for the remaining chapters, but in
vain. They never came to hand. Finding
that they had been sold, and wishing to put a
stop to the jokes their cotemporaries were
cracking at their expense, they briefly conclu,

SOLDIERS OF the REvoLUTIoN--The Pension
Office had upon its roll on the 30th of June,
1859 the names Of 253 revolutionary soldiers
Of this small remant of of heroes, information
has been received that during the succeeding
half year 46 went to their long account, leav-
ing upon the first day or the present year 207

are stated to have been from 100 to l03 years.
Thus is dwinding away the small number of
that gallant band which has come down to us
from former generation, to pass forever from
the earth before this generation shall have

BRIGHT AND GLOOMY HoURs-Ah this
beautiful world Indeed, know not what to
think of it, Sometimes it is all gladueSs and
and sunshine, and heaven itself is not far off
And then it changes suddenly and is dark and
sorrowful, and the clouds shut out the sky In
the lives of the saddest of us there are bright
days like this when we fell as if we could take
the gr, G. world in our arms Then come the
gloomy hours, when the fire will neither burn
in our hearts nor on our hearth, and all with
out and within is dismal, cold and dark
Believe me, every heart has its secret sorrows
which the world knows not, and. oftentimes we
call man cold when he is only sad.

To REsUsCITATE THE DEowNED.-As this il
the season for bathing and for fatal accidents
in the water, we prepare the following drec-
tions for the guidance Of those who may need
to use them. We believe they embody all
that is material in restoring drowned person
though of course person who has been long
submerged would require the treatment of
careful physician after being revived
Use no harsh means, such as rolling on q
barrel, rolling on the ground, hanging by the
heels, or any Of the relics of barbarouS age
Have the body Immediately stripped and
wiped dry, aud either carried to bed or placed
upon dry blankets, with plenty Of covering
ready to retain the heat that you may succeed
in rousing
Then commence initiating the lungs in such a
manner as to make an artificial breathing
this may be done by holding the nose of the
person and forcing through the mouth into the
lungs sufficient air for a natural breath, imme-
diately expelling 1T by all upward pressure just
below the ribs. Or, the air may be thrown
into the lungs by applying the pipe of bel.
lows to one nostrl while holding the other
nostril and mouth firmly closed
This initiation Of the lungs is the sheet an
chlr, and must not be intermitted, except to
turn the head and body upon the side to let
out any water that may be forced into the
throat and mouth.
While this imitation is going on, let as many
warm, dry hands be rubbing the limbs, as eau
be employed or let the body be enveloped in
hot fanneIS, and cloths wrung from not water
be applied at all events get and keep the body
warm.
These two points-getting the lungs to
breathing and the body warn-are the main
chance, and in fact the only chance and the
treatment must not he stopped for anything
else until the person is given over for dead
This method OF treatment is so simple that
it can be conducted by any person Of common
sense, and should not be discontinued for at
least live or six hours
1t may be that the application Of electrici-
ty, after tue other Treatment is fairly ut work,
may scrVe to rouse vitality, but of this we are
in doubt and believe it should not be too free
ly used.-N0rth and !S0uth

HUSBAND AND WIFE.-Betweeny you two, let
no third person come to share the secret grief
or joy that belongs to your two hearts alone.
Let neither father, mother, brother, no sister
be the conidant of that which concerns your
domestic peace Bear all things, suffer all
things but in silence and sadness. Let a
moment of alienation, or years Of estrange-
ment, be healed and forgotten in after mo-
ments and years of intense love but never let
the wall of another's confidence be built up
between you and your wife's or husband S

PEACE AT HoME-It is just as possible to
keep calm house as a clean house, a cheerful
house, an orderly house, as a furnished houSe,
if the heads set themselves to do it. Where
is the difficulty of consulting each others
weaknesses as well as each others wants :?
each others temper, as well as each others
health !-each others comfort as well as each
others character Oh ! it is by leaving the
peace of home TO chance, instead of pursuing
it as a system, that so many houses are unhap-
py. 1t deserves notice that almost any one
can be courteous aud forbearing, and patient,
in neighbor'S house. If anything go wrong
or be out of time, or diSagreeable there, it is
made the best of, and not the worst even
efforts are made to excuse it, and to show that
it is not felt, or if felt it is attributed to acci
dent, not design and this is not only easy,
but natural in the house of friend. We will
not, therefore, believe that what is so natural
in the house of another, is impossible at home
but maintain without fear that all the cOurte-
sizes of social life may be maintained in do
mestc society A husband as willing to ne
pleased at home and as anxious to please as
in his neighbours house a wife as intent to
making things comfortable every day to her
family, as on set days to her guests, could not
tail to make their cwn home happy.
Let us not evade the point of these re-
marks by recurring to the maxim about allow
ances for temper 1t is worse than folly TO
refer to our temper unless we could prove that
we ever gained anything good by giving way
to it. Fits of i'll humor pain us quite as much,
if not more, than those they are vented upon
and it actually requires more effort and inacts
more pain to give them up, than would be re,
quiSite to avoid them

MOBUIzATIoN-SOme of our readers may
have been puzzled regarding the meaning of
this word" mobilization which has, OF
late, frequently appeared in our European in
telligence. Prussia has " modified " her army
that is, she has placed her army in q condition
TO take the feld-to more to any point where
its services may be required. The military
system Of Prussia rests upon an organization
which divides the forces of the monarchy into
two armes-the one the army of the line, as
regular troops the other, the army of reserve,
or the militia who are called the landlcehr. and
which consists of the men who having passed
through the army of the line, are subject to
taadlcehr duty; from their twenty-ffth TO their
thrty-second year.
Besides the hnd,cehr, which is divided into
first and second levy, according to age, there
is the LdHdStrum, or general levy, which com
priSeS men between the ages of forty and fifty
years The Kingdom is divided into eight
military districts, and the iaRdlcet2r of the first
levy are called out of their districts once year
for fifteen days drill. Each regiment of the
line or regular army has corresponding reg
iment of the AQadtoGhr attached to it, and the
PruSSian army is said to be mobIiced when the
corresponding number of the kandtcehr of the
first levy are called into service in connection
with each division of the regular army. Tins
the army is doubled by mo6iH9ation. Tue
regiments m0JiLs@m do not leave their military
districts until orders are given to that effect.
but they are held in readiness to Hs0re-that
is, they are in a mobile or movable state.
