PLANTING POTATOES IN THEsAmR

Having never seen an account in any
agricultural paper, as recollec,, of any
one having raised potatoes with corn in
the same hill, | thought would try the
experiment last ,spring. had finished
the potatoes that was intending to plant,
but having some left ] concluded to plant
them in the same hills with a patch of
corn, and mark the effect. I planted
the corn about the 25Ih of May, the sea-
son being so wet | could not plant them
sooner. dropped the corn and potatoes
together, hoed them the same time and
dug the potatoes soon after cutting sp
the corn. The ground was not first rate.

as good as some near by where corn was
planted alone. The potatoes were first

again next spring, and If they succeed
as well as they did this year, shall con-

RUSSIAN BABIES.

so many idols with their heads carved
out and,he rest of the body left in block

HINTS FOR THE SEASON.


|. Keep your stock, especially cattle
and horses, from running over your
meadows and trampling them. More
injury is often done 10 a meadow during
The early spring, by this means THAI is
conceived of by farmers. If the land is
dry, the damage is less; but if wet 50
much the worse, for trampling will trans
form the soil 10 mire or clay fit to make
brick, in which grass will no, grow well.
ii. Look after your breeding sows;
let them have charcoal occasionally; an
imal food will also be welcome. See
the past numbers of the Farmer, for
means by which the evil habit of eating
their pigs may be prevented. Give the
hog: good opportunity 10 make manure.
Ifthey are allowed 10 root in the orchard.
they will destroy great many of grubs
that would otherwise be injurious.
Ill. Select the eggs of your best lay
ing hens 10 sit for chickens. If spring
chickens are wanted for sale, this is not
necessary. but select those of the larger
and more rapidly growing kinds. Shang-
hais are not good for this, as the young
are too long legged and scrawny, what.
ever they may be when grown up, and
besides, are more sensitive than the COM
mon sorts. Dorkings are good, in fact
the best for all purposes.
~. Every farmer should have q
good kitchen garden, supplied with all
kinds of small fruits, esculents, &c.
Many think that this is Improbable, but
there is no acre on the farm that will pay
better than this, if properly cared for.-
Every farmers family should be sup
piled with the best and earliest garden
produce, as none better deserve the lux.
uries of the table. If the country pre-
duces all the food for the people. we see
no reason why the cities should appropri.

V. Make the vicinity of your dwell.

few ornamental trees, shrubs and flow
ers, laying out grass plats, &c. Your

a shortSighled home policy. There is
no necessity for the door-yard Of the farm
house TO be the sleeping quarters of all
the stock, especially the hogs, nor that
the house roof should be the roostine
place of the turkeys. Make home by
all means agreeable and happy.

CLERGYMAN ARRESTED FOR
COUNTERFEITING,
WHILE PREACHING FUNERAL SERMON

We had an interview with Mr.. Isaac
Reynolds, of Trumbull Co last evening,
who had just returned from Glenwood,
Mills County. Iowa, where he owns some
land. He gave US an item of finterest.-
On last Monday afternoon, as the Rev.
VIM. Watson, the pastor of the Methods,
Churce in Glenwood, was preaching a
funeral sermon, he was arrested by off
GERS from an adjoining County for passing
counterfeit money. The people in at
tendance at the funeral were so incens-
ed at the officers that they thrust them
from the house, and they concluded 10
retire until the obsequies were concluded.
The Clergyman did not attend the pro-
cession 10 the grave, and the officers ar
rested him. They had previously
searched his house, in the cellar of which
they found inks, presses, papers, rolling
machines, and The entire apparatus for
the manufacture of counterfeit bank bills.
They also found about 900 in coun-
ter'eit bills, $500 of which were tens on
the Forrest City Bank of this city, and
about S2O0 in fves on the State Bank of
Ohio. The clergyman made a clean
breast of The matter. He became con-
nected with some counierfelterS about
two years ago, and as he had been in
e"rly life an engraver, he had been a
very useful and hard working member of
the gang. He has preached in Glen
wood about three years. He is about
forty years old, a man Of family, and
has been very generally esteemed and
respected by his congregation and neigh
bors. He said he joined the counterfeit
ers TO get money $50 do good with. -
This explanation was not very satisfac-
tory 10 his parishioners, however, and
they discarded him al once. He must
have been a nice minister. An exami-
nation of his "study'' showed that he
was a regular subscriber to the Life in
Boston, Venus Miscellany land other flash
papers, and the shelves of his book case
were adorned with the yellow covered
lives of numerous celebrated highway
men, forgers, &c. He was taken before
Justice of the Peace, and in default Of
heavy bail, was committed 10 the county
Jail 10 await trial before the Court Of
Common Pleas. The incident created
a great sensation in the little town.

A WORD TO APPRENTICES.

Apprenticeship is the most important
stage of life through which a mechanic
is called TO pass; it is emphatically the
spring season Of his days-,he time when
he is sowing the seed, the fruits of which
he is to reap in after years. lfhe spares
no labor in IFS proper culture, he is sure
of obtaining an abundant harvest; but il.
in the culture of ibe mental soil, he fol-
lows the example of many in tilling the
earth, and carelessly and negligently
does his work, like them, he will find the
seeding time past, and his ground only
bringing forth weeds and briars. Ler
;hesyoung apprentice bear in mind, when
he commences learning any business,
that hopes of success in the future are
doomed to fade away like the morning
mist, unless he improves the golden sea-
son. Let him bear in mind that he can
bscome master of his business only
through the closest application and the
most preserving industry; and that unless
he does master it, he may bid farewell
to all the Visions of future prospects and
success. The apprenticeship is the foun-
dation of the great mechanical edifce;
and surely if the foundation Of struc-
tare be not firm, the structure itself
crumbles and falls te the earth. Then,
young friends, persevere; be studious
and attentive; study well all the branch
es of your business, both practical and
iheoretical-and when the time shall
come for you TO take an active part in
life. you'will not fail TO be of use, not
only in your own particular business,
but in society.

A FRENCH WOMAN AT HOME.

She helps to cooh the dinner she has
bought-for servants are wasteful with
charcoal, and she knows TO an inch how
little she can use. In that marvellous
place. French kitchen, where two or
three little holes in a stove, cook such
delicate dishes, and perform such Gull
nary feais as onr great roaring giants OF
coal fires have no conception of, she fits
about like fairy, creating magical
messes out of raw material of the
most ordinary description. Yes, though
lady born and bred, refined, elegant,
and agreeable in society, belle in her
way, she does not think it beneath her
dignity to tighten the household expenses
by practical economy and activity. The
dinner of French family is cheap and
simple. There is always soup, the meat
of the stew pan--sometimes, if not strict
in expenditure, another plate of meat
generally two vegetables, dressed and
eaten separately, and sometimes (not
always) sweet dish; if not that, little
fruit, such as may be the cheapest and
the ripest in the season. But there is
very little of each thing, and it is rather
in arrangement than in material that they
appear rich. The idea that the French
are gourmands in private life is incorrect.
They spend little in eating, and they
eat inferior things; though their cookery
is rather science than a mere accident
of civilization. At home, great aim Of
The French is TO save, and any self.sac-
rifice which tends to this result is cheer
fully undertaken, more especially in eat
ing and in the luxury of mere idleness.
No French woman will spend shilling
TO - herself trouble. She would
rather work like dray horse to buy an
extra yard of ribbon, or a new pair Of
gloves, than lie on the softest sofa in the
world, in placid fne-ladyism, with crum-
pied gauZe or bare hands.-Lady's

GUARD AGAINST VULGAR LANGUAGE
There is as much connection between
the words and thoughts as there is be-
tween the thoughts and the words; the
latter are not only the expression OF the
former. but they have power TO react
upon The soul, and leave the stain of
their corruption there. A young man
who allows himself to use one vulgar or
profane word. has not only shown that
there is foul spot upon his mind, but
by the utteraace of that word, he ex-
tends that spot and inflames it, till, by
indulgence it will pollute and ruin the
whole soul. Be careful of your words
as well as your thoughts. II you can
so control the tongue that no improper
words are pronounced by it, you will
soon be able, to control the mind, and
save that from corruption. You extin-
guish the fire by smothering it. or by
preventing bad thoughts bursting out in
language. Never utter word anywhere
which you would be ashamed to speak
in the presence of the most refined fe-
male. or the most religious man. Try
this practise a little while, and you will
soon have command Of yourself.

AN EXCELLENT CEMENT.--Five years
ago, we applied a cement, composed Of
white lead paint, whiting and dry white
sand, TO a small tin roof that leaked like
a seiye; it soon became nearly as hard as
stone, has never scaled of, and has kept
the roof since then perfectly tight. It
was put on about the consistency of III n
putty. Slater's cement for stopping
leaks around chimnies is composed Of
linseed oil, whiting. ground glass, and
some brick dust. 1t is good cement
for this purpose, also for closing the
joints ofstone steps to houses.-Seientife
