Digging and Keeping Potatoes.

Since tho prevalence fithe fatal potatoe
disease, it is found. that early lifting, or dig.
ging, is a great security against its attacks.
Potatoes planted the first Of May, may DO
harvested the latter part of September The
crop, however, is in peculiar condition the
present season. In all the region over which
the excessive drouth Of the past summer has
extended, the potatoe had at one time wholly
ceased growing; the rains Of last month
reSuscitated it, and now the tubers are grow
ing as rapidly as at any time during the
year This condition of things will make
the crop late, and it is probable that severe
frosts will find it watery and immature II
such should be the circumstances, great care
will be requisite in handling to prevent bruis-
ing and breaking the skin. 1t will not be
safe to store in large heaps on account of the
great liability to fermentation in all imper-
tectly ripened vegetables and fruit. Fifteen
OF twenty bushels will be as many as can be
safely buried in one pit
Ventilation is indispensable to the perfect
preservation of potatoes in pits OR cellars
A plan we tried last year, and which proved
most excellent one, is this Take two
pieces of inch board four to eight inches
wide, and long enough to reach from the bot
tom of the pit out above the top about six
inches, after the covering Of winter is put
on. For pit Of twenty bushels, four feet
will be long enough. Lay these pieces on
edge and tack on pieces of common lath, or
something similar, three or four inches long,
an inch apart. This done, you have ven
tilator, which, if taken care of in spring,
will last lifetime When the winter sets
in, thrust in at the top wisp Of straw, and
tack shing lie or board on to keep out rains
In spri ng, your potatoes, if we'll covered,
will come out in fine eating order.

Shade Trees in Pastures.

Mr.. EDITOR IL have read with much
surprise the articles published in the Country
Geutleman, advising farmers to destroy shade
trees in their pastures.
Now, as the merciful man is merciful to
bis beast, it is surprising that SO celebrated
a farmer as Hon. A. B. Dickinson should
advocate such cruelty. One of my cows, by
the-by. was sadly sun-burued last summer BY
being pastured in field without sufficient
shade.
have but one field on my farm destitute
of shade trees, and that intend to supply
as soon as they will grow. Mr.. Dickinson
says the lazy rascas will lie in the shade
when they should be feeding. Now cattle if
running in good pasture will eat what their
appetites crave, and no more. If they lie
in the shade in the heat of the day, they will
feed with keener appetite in the cool Of the
day. 1t is difficult forcing them TO feed by
exposing their backs to burning sum- l.
know not how we'll Mr.. Dickinson's cattle
may be trained, but do know that my cat
tie arc Just mean enough, when turned into
pasture without shade trees, to take advan-
tage of the little shade which the tebces at.
ford, and there lie, vainly endeavoring to
screen Themselves from the suns burning
rays as long as they otherwise would lie in
comfortable shade.
1t is argued that they make more flesh by
being deprived of the benefit of shade trees,
which very much doubt; but, it so, what
is the value of few pounds of beef COM
pared with the satisfaction of seeing them
comfortably enjoying themselves in the shade
Of beautiful tree?
Animals, as we'll as men, are killed by
sun.stroke, if we take the newspapers for au-
thority.
Where is the man that will take his dinner
and 20 out in the sun and eat, if he can find
a shade =? | say, Woodman, spare that
tree" CHAs. PRINCE.

A Coon ExAMPLE.-An intelligent American
lady who spent year in some families of
wealthy landholders in England, with whom
she was connected by marriage, found, to her
surprise, that the ladies Of those families often
preferred walk of several miles in warm
wooden dresses and thick shoes, to calling their
horses and carriages from the stables; and that
jewelry, and even silk dresses, were reserved for
wear in doors and at evening parties, but never
worn out Of doors and the first reason given
in explanation Of this was that they might set
a good example to the poorer classes. In the
expenditures of these families much greater
degree of prudence and economy was manifest
in every respect than among any corresponding
class here, excepting only in the number of
servants, which is much larger among the Eng
lish than in the United States The furniture
of their mansions, and even the carpets upon
the floors, though of the most costly and sub
stantial character, had yet been in use many
years most OF the articles, indeed, having been
handed down from pas generations, and the
last thing thought Of would have been 10 dis
card them for the mere fancy of some new and
fashionable substitute.

Our Farmers.

Their homes are their castestheir hearthsone throne,
They rule with no sceptre, the kingdoms they own;
The stalks and the vnes and the frut-bearng trees,
Are subjects that bend not to tyrants the knee;
But bend with the weight of the orchard and field,
Ever loyal and faithful, harvest to yield;
No planning and plotting among them is known
No traitor the sovereign would strike from his throne
He stands midst his of grass, wheat and maize,
Like Crusoe, - the monarch of all he surveys'
His banks are the earth banks that stand his farm
The banks that are safe when the panics alarm;
The stock is the cattle-not fancy in breed
The shares the powShares that for the seed
Not quoted on 'Change in the brokers' array;
But shares on which Nature will dividends pay.
Their banks are not those that the widows condemn
No officers pitfeF deposits from them
II small the potatoes that in thema re found,
Yet small find out of ground.
The farmer with appetite ever caneat
The bread on his table, " as good as the wheat -
And. loving most dearly his wife, he may utter,
" Ny breaI and my wife IN not have any but herr"
With juice of the apple, the wife then may fill
The glass in which fingers no tromors or i'll;
And she may respond that, whatever betide her,
Most happy shell be with her husband beside her.
There's M a heart with its joys overlooking;
The heatths and the hearts from the worlds rude alarms
Are safe in the homes that reared our farms.

THE SOUND OF GROWING CoRN.-Did you
ever hear corr grow You have probably
heard the remark, our corn glows so last
that you can hear it, That is supposed, by
people who don't know, to be a figure of
speech only; but the remark cut here is a
literal fact. Go into one of these bottom
corn fields forty or fifty rods on a warm July
day, or August night, when bright moon is
up (for vegetation grows faster ia moonlight

Drouth and Grasshoppers.

We are literally consumed by drouth and
grasshoppers: every crop on our little farm has
failed, and the cattle are crying Tor food and
dlink.-E &. HAGAR, Middlebury, w., july,
1860, in Farmer.
From numerous sources we hear of the ex-
cessive drouth prevailing in Addison County.
What did grow is being eat up by grasshoppers.
The Vergennes Citizen says;
" On Monday the heavens were filled with
millions of grasshopper and those which flew
highest, looked like thistle bows. We have not
the least idea where they have gone, and we en-
Wy not those who receive their visit for they left
here very hungry. If any more are wanted,
after those shall have got through, we can spare
them just as we'll as not, for we have a few more
left. We are told that there was Il great flight
here on Friday last"
The Mlddlebury Register has the following
a correspondent in this town informs us
that in field of oats, in his neighborhood, he
counted the products of one grain, and found
it to be a thousand fold. This is extraordinary.
and interesting, but will give little satisfaction
to hundreds of farmers in the county, who have
been compelled to NOW excellent crops of oats
in green state to savethom from grasshoppers.

be tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands Of bush

A REMEDY for milk wasting from the tcats
OF COWS Is thus given by correspondent of
the Co. Gent. -" Get from the druggist
small quantity Of COtlod,on, or liquid cut-
cle,' and when the COW has been MIXED, APP
ply it to the ends of the teats 1t instantly
will form thin tough skin, which will close
the orifce and prevent the emission of the
milk. AT milking time the false skin can bo
broken through, and the COW MIXED and the
collodlon again applied. In week or ten
days there will be no necessity for further
application, as the defect will be cured"

Literary Marriages.

Are old maids prejudices against marriages
with poets AMI novelsts, and writers generally,
built on any ground of reason? You remember
how unhappy was Byron smarriage. Shelley
was no better. Milton three marriages were
all unhappy. Campbell was wrqtchcd every
way. What an angelic patience Tom Moore
wife possessed How oftenmust her heart have
been wrung by husband as we'll as children !
You know how unfortunately all turned out,
Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton is separated from his
wife, Mr.. Charles Dickens has parted from his
vile, Mrs. Norton has quilted her husband.
Mrs. Fanny Kembe has fed hers.
Rogers, Pope Macaulay, Hume, Gibbon, al |
remained bachelors-most wisely. Coeridge
left his wife to starve. Charles Lamb kept out
of the moose. Addison married and found con-
ISOLATION only in the bottle; and by a strange
coincidence, Lord Stowell ESQ closely resembling
Addison in many particulars lived happily
until late in life he married lady bearing the
same title as the woman who poisoned Addison s
last years. Swift never married. B)lingbroke
quarrclled and parted with his wife Neither
Pitt nor Fox were ever married Irving is un-

PoIsoNs IN Liquors. extensive adulter-
alton of liquors offered in the market as pure,
and the introduction of poisonous ingredients
into those which are pronounced healthful, may
well excite alarm and call for the attention of
our Legislature. Why there should be 80 much
brain fever, delirium tremens, and so much sud-
den death among our young men who indulge
at the bar, cannot be explained upon any COM
mon principles. An expert chemist of this city
bought of an importer bottle of what was
called genuine champagne. An analyzation
proved it to contain one-quarter of an ounce of
sugar of lead. The same gentleman analysed
sixteen samples of wines-Port, Sherry and Ma
deria- in which not one drop Of the juice of
the grape was found. The basis Of the Port
wine was diluted sulphuric acid, colored with
elderberry juice, with alum, sugar, and neu
trail spirits. The basis of tho Sherry wine was
pale malt, sulphuric acid from bitter almonds
with percentage of alcoholic spirits from
brandy. The Madeira wine was decoction of
hops, sulphuric acid, honey, Jamaica spirits,
&c.-NeaO York Com.

SwARD-BoUND MEADOWS -There is much
complaint Of sh )rt crops of grass, and par
ticularly OH what are called sward-bound
meadows [ will give my method and ex-
perlence in growing grass. In 1910 seed
ed lot of six acres with timothy and clover
1t did well for three or four years, and then
it began to fail. | fed off the fall feed quito
close, to prevent the mice from living in it
under the snow and digging out the timothy
roots, which they often do to the great detri-
ment of the meadow, during the winter.
Late in the fall dress with light coat Of
rotten manure, and drag with sharp harrow
until quite raw. The first Of MAY [ sow
one bushel Of plaster per acre, which think
doubles the value OF the manure. Under
this culture l have never cut less than three
tons per acre Of good hay, and there is no
prospect Of failure. If manure is not to
be had, thorough narrowing will do good to
meadows. 1t is my opinion that earl y mow-
ing soon destroys them, aud the hay is Of less
value. VIM, HAYDEN.
