Planting Potatoes.

Instead ofplanting whole potatoes large
or small, tits better to use good sized seed,
cut to two eyes, and plant one in hill.
More seed will make supcrabundancc
oftops, and ma " small potatoes. In pro.
pairing the land, it should be plowcd rath.
or deep in the spring. and narrowed as
level as possible, then mark it out about
three feet apart in rows one way with a
plow, making the furrows four TO six
inches deep. Drop the seed one piece
with two eyes from twelve to fifteen inches
part, in the rows; and cover with light
pillow, four to six inches deep. Cultivate
clean, and apply plaster and ashes; let
not Il weed grow.

Half On Acre Enough.

A shoemaker over in jersey bought I
half-acre lot. He was fond of frpit ant
read the papers. Tho soil was wet clay
and he selected fruit suited to the climate
He built house and put his land in a
condition to produce fruit. He had no
manure but little gathered in the streets.
In his leisure he brought from tho woods
bark rotten wood, moss and leaf mold,
which he mixed with the soil thrcc feet
deep. This was done by degrees, and as
fast as the ground was prepared he plant.
cd fruit. lie became so interested and
successful that he retired from the cob
ler's bench. was his near ne,ghbor
and knew him intimately. His half acre
supported himself and wife comfortably,
almost in elegance. She had q servant,
and had plenty Of time to cultivate flow
ers. Strangers inquired about their beau.
tiful home.
Isabella grapes and com mon currants
formed the bulk Of his fruit. With a
better selection his incoMc would have
been larger. Others have had the same
success on small pieces Of ground.
One knew who supported his family
on one acre. Half was in grapes, the
crop Of which in one season sold for $500
and he had no labor bills to pay. Ifcon.

Tho N. Y. Tribune asks "What is
Radicalism?' It differs according to 10.
cation. In Connecticut and Ohio it does
not mean negro suffrage, 10 Missouri and
the District Of Columbia it does. In

her on the back and say "Sing Betsey,"
(for that is her nancy and she will be.
gin to sing as requested. She will then
say Sing loud Botsey,' and she will
sing at the very top Of her voice, which
is very loud for she has got an excellent
pair Of lungs. She will say "Sing soft
Betsey;' and she will change from a
loud tone to very soft one. And to
cap the climax in the way of obcying and
pleasing the children, my little uiecs put
Betscy into chair, the other day aud
began to pat her on the back, saying at
the same time, lay me On egg, Petsey.'
Betsey sung very short, soft song, and
