KEEPING PoTAToEs IN WINTER.-Po-
tatoes spoil in winter, if buried, for three
causes. First and greatest, want of ven
tilstion. Secondly, and nearly allied,
dampness. Thirdly, and more rare, free
zing. Farmers find most of potatoes
spoiled at the top of the heap, where they
suppose they became frozen but this is
not the usual cause the damp, foul,
steamy air assembled there, and could not
escape, and this spoiled them. A hole
made in the top, with a crowbar. and
closed with wisp of straw, would have
allowed egress to the confined air, and
saved the potatoes.
The best way to secure potatoes out
doors, is to make large heaps, say so or
60 bushels; see that they are dry and
clean, by digging before wet weather
comes or {; cover them all over with enc
foot of packed straw, and three inches of
earth. The straw will prevent dampness,
and the few inches of earth will favor
ventilation. A farmer who raises many
potatoes, and practices this mode, does
not lose peck, on an average, in so
bushels.

HoRsEs VERSUS OXEN on A FARM.-

Horses VERSUS OXEN ON Farm
The FIRST thing that gave our manufac-
turers the start they have received in this
country, was the Improvements made in
our machinery. We had to pay two or
three times the price for labor common
in Europe. and hence it became matter
of great importance for Us to economize
it in every way. The system of long ap-
premiership and cheap labor made it not
worth while there to experiment much
In that direction. With us the case was
altogether different. Labor was every
thing. and ingenuity of all kinds to save
that, was at work in all directions. and
thus from Frsnklin's motto of well paid
labor, sprang our success in manufactures.
The same seems likely to be true in
regard to our success in agriculture. A
few English noblemen can and do exper-
iment on steam plows and reaping ma.
chimes. But the great bulk of the plow-
ing throughout Europe is done at this
moment by oxen and asses, and some
times even by women yoked in with the
beasts they drive. In this country there
are hundred farmers ready to take hold
of steam machinery, as soon as its sue
cess, practically, is fully demonstrated.
and in twenty years there is but little
question that numbers of steam engines
viii be employed on farms. In the South,
where slaVe-labor is employed, that is la
Dor that consumes but little. comparative
ly, in food and clothing. all machinery is
far behind what it is in the North. The
plows are bad, and the hoe is alone relied
upon. 1t is because labor is SO cheap.
In Louisiana, however, where large CAPT
talists had engaged in the cultivation of
the sugar cane, negro labor had become
30 expensive, that steam machinery was
being extensively introduced. The re-
opening of the slave trade will of course
have the effect of retarding the period of
all improvements in agricultural imple-
ments. Good tools require good work
men, and they are so dear, that they can
not be afforded where careless hands are
employed, or where the feed of horse
will cost more than that of a man.-Ez.

CIsTERNs.-Cisterns are built very
cheaply in many localities. where the
earth is of a compact character. by dig.
ging hole and plastering the walls of il
with cement. 1t is necessary that the
cistern should be so covered as to secure
the cement from the action Of frost. A
cistern ten feet deep and six feet wide.
will hold seventy barrels of water. A
good form is to dig hole the shape ol
an egg, with the big end down. Such
q cistern, nine feet deep and eight in d.
ameter, will hold one hundred barrels OF
water. Even where it is necessary to
brick them up before plastering. cistsrns
are generally cheaper than wells, and, if
of good size and well made. are much su-
perior. because they afford sufficient
supply of water from any ordinary sized
roof. and of greatly superior quality.
For family use, it is we'll to divide the
cistern into two compartments by par
tition, with 6ltering material in the bot
tom of one side-the water to be dischsr-
ged from the roof into one side, and drawn
for use from the other. I'M ~

To Remove FREcKLEs.-The best pre-
paration to remove freckles, which are so
common at this season, is a tescupful Of
cold, soured milk, and small quantity
of scraped horse-radish. Let it stand
from to II hours, then use it to wash
the parts affected two or three times "a
day. Another mixture is half drachm
of ammonia, two drachms of lavender
water. and half pound of distilled wa
ter. Use it with u sponge two or three
times a day. A still simpler compost
ton is quarter of drachm of borax,
half drachm of sugar, and one ounce OF
lemon juice. Mix and let it stand for a
few days, then rub it on occasionally.
