In a moment what emotions swelled the
bosom Of the lonely boy. He thought Of her
cherished Tenderness to him long years ago,
of her soft arms round his neck, her gentle
lips pressing his forehead-then came up the
crueltios of strangers, who after she had been
put away in the deep ground, treated him
harshly.

HOW TO RAISE EARLY POTATOES
A dish Of now, mealy potatoes, about the
middle Of June, is not to be despised. They
are good upon the table, and by no means bad
in the barrel, on their way to a lively market,
at one to two dollars bushcl, and upwards.
There is a difference of a month or two in
the time required by different varieties to ma
ture. This fact is often overlooked by farmers,
and they continue planting only the late sorts,
and have no new potatoes until August
Early varieties are a first essential in getting
an early harvest. The Mercer or Chcnango
will mature in about twelve weeks, and with
forcing in ten 1t is not so apt to rot when
forced, when planted late The Early
Sovereign, Carpenter, Studleys Seeding,
WendelIs Seeding, Dykman, and the early
June, requires still shorter season, say from
six to twelve days, In almost every section
of the country there are early potatoes, proba-
bly, quite good as any Of these.
There are several methods of Fastening their
maturity. avorte method with the Ger
man market gardeners is, to bring the seed
potatoes in barrels into a warm room, about
/ the first of NJ arch. The eyes start rapidly,
and in about two or three weeks they arc ready
| to plant. Another method, which we have
/ praoticed for some years, is to start the pota-
toes in a gentle hotbsd about the middle oil
/ March. The tuhors are cut in halves, and
/ laid fiat side down upon the bed, as thick a.
/ they can be placed. They are then covered
with about two inches Of garden mold, and
the sashes are put over them As soon Il,
they are up two or three inches, they are
ready to transplant. They should be removed
carefully, separating the roots with as littl,
breaking as possible and put in the drill,
whore they arc to grow. As they do not
yield full crop under this treatment, they car
be planted closer, than common field cul
ture, say in drills thirty inches apart, putting
the hills twelve inches apart in the drill
A warm, sandy loan, sloping to the soutl
or southeast should be selected for the crop
/ 1t should be well MANFRED with horse dung
about half Of it applied in the drills. Som
manure their grounds for early potatoes in tn
Fall, and this is, we think, good plan 70
that part Of the manure which is applied broad
cast. Fresh horse-dung in the drills raises tn
temperature of the soil, and hastens thei
growth
To the above, written by one Of our associ
ates, we will add that we have succeeded wei
on a small scale, thus; Two OF three week
before the time when it will probably do Il
plant out, take pieces of turf or sod, say foL
to five inches square, and put a piece of poto
toe in each These are set closely togethe
where they can be watered as needed, an,
can be exposed to sunshine Whenever Their
is cold night, or "cold snap straw is put OF
to keep them from freezing. They sprout an,
fill the turf with roots. Al the proper tim
the pieces are set in the open ground, on
piece in hill, and the grouth is hardly check
ed. The turf itself also acts as a manure t
aid the growth In this way two to four week
may be neutrality-suspicious.

A QUERY FOR DAIRYMEN.-Do cows
yield milk in proportion to their weight was
asked by Mr.. Copeland, Of Ohio, in the Cuiti-
rator, few months since. Abel Krum, a
dairymay Of Cherry Valley, o., in the Ohio
Farmer, says--"I have no hesitation in an
swering that cows do not yield milk in pro-
portion to their live weight. On the contra

been obtained at the expense Of the milking
properties. This question, | believe, is we'll

VII PoRK sHRINKs In THE poT.


An "Old Farmer" gives in the Homestead,
the various notions on this question, and closes
with his own views on the subject, which we
condense:-
Store hogs kept low in flesh in summer and
autumn, and then fully fed when shut up for
iattoning, will gain fast, appear to be doing
we'll, and look well when dressed, but will
weight light, and boiling will prove the flesh to
be pu6y: the little cells of which the meat
seems to be composed, are filed with gelatin
ons matter. which has not had time to become
hard and frm--it is partly soluble in boiling
water; hence the pork shrinks in the pot.
The same kind of pork results from feeding
hogs on mostly animal food, as at slaughter
houses, and from irregular feeding
/ TO produce pork that will not shrink in
the pot, the writer says he first has good
breed they are never allowed to fall of in
condition from the start they get with their
mothers milk and never knew stint nor stunt
while alive EARLY in autumn he takes them
up in high order, and begins to fat them, in
crcasing their rations of grain till they are
fat and ready 10 kH Then he feeds them
one week MORE and makes due preparations
for butchering. which is done early in the
day by good hands When thoroughly cool
ed, cuts up and salts down. mot allowing his
pork to freeze, using plenty Of the best salt,
and filling up the barrels with brine, and not
with water, as some do.
This method secures pork, white, firm,
compact and almost AS solid as marble, which
when we'll cooked will be tender, juicy, melt-
ing and delicious, never shrinking in the
