How TO HAVE MEALY PorAroEs.-It is q
very common thing at this season Of the year,
to find strong, watery potatoes on the table,
unless care has been ia ken to select and pre-
serve them. Such varieties as the Long
Johns, Danvers Seedlings, or others whose
properties for long keeping aud excellence for
the table have been thoroughly tested, are
usually assigned for summer use, and II they
are kept from light and air as much as possi-
BILE, their favor and good qualities will be re-
tanned as long as old potatoes need be used.
A poor potato is the poorest article Of food
that can be had and as soon as they begin
to sprout they will begin TO grow poor and
wstery, the better part Of the root going to
the support of the sprouts; hence, TO have
mealy, nice potatoes, it is necessary to keep
them from exhaustipg themselves in this
way.
An exchange gives the following method
of preventing potatoes from sprouung which
we hope will be tried and approved: Take
good, sound potatoes and place them in a tub
or barrel, and pour boiling water over them,
letting them remain in the water until the
eyes are scalded so they will not sprout;
dry the potatoes thoroughly in the sun, and
put them away in box or barrel in cool, dry
place, This will give good, mealy potatoes
all the time

In conversation soms time ago with an
officer OF one Of the gas companies. we asked
him why he did not render hts gas less disa'
greeable to the smell. His reply was, that it
was great advantage to the consumer TO
have the gas thus unpleasant, for were it
odorless a leak would not be observed, as 1t
now is.st once. As the unpleasant odor OF
the gas enables US to detect defect in the
pipe, so other odors point out the defects in
the household aud domestic economy, and in
dicate that something is escaping that ought
to be stepped. Whatever may be the cause
of certain epidemic diseases, there is one thing
that is we'll established, they are invited by
Alth and repsllsd by cleanliness. Dscsyins
