EARLY Potatoes s. Late Potatoes.

All Potatoes do best on virgin soil, cool,
moist and filled with vegetable matter OF
cultivated soils those rich in hun,us and
potash should be preferred. They should
be light, inclning to sand rather than to
clay; should be deeply ploughed and north,
Elm or eastern exposure in this latitude
should be preferred to a southern one.
Time Of Planting. Notwithstanding some
objections to planting in April, we should
prefer doing so late in the month to plant.
ing in May. The Potato loves COOL moist
weather, and derives great advantage from
the spring rains. The only danger of too
early planting is that of taking in a second
growth late in the season. But if the pota.
toes mature early, dig them, and after sui.
fering them to become dry stow them away
in cool, dry place. There is no difficulty
in keeping them if care be taken in putting
them away.
Preparation Of the Sets. 1t is better to
cut the sets Of good size from large and we'll
matured potatoes, leaving not less than two
eye to each set.
Quantity of,Seed to the Acre. From ten to
twelve bushels are sufficient for an acre OF
lane. -Ma,ylond Farmer.

Treatment of COrus.

There are three varities of corns: hard
corns, soft corns, and bunions. Hard corns
commonly occur on the top of the toes, be.
ing formed by the pressure Of the leather. -
Soft corns occur between the toes, and come
in consequence OF pressing the toes on each
other by narrow tocd boots or shoes. Bun,
ions usually occur upon the joints Of the
great toe. Like corns they come from pres.
sure. When corn is full grown there is usu.
ally thin membrane between the corn sub
stance and the true skin this enables per.
son to remove them without drawing blood
or causing pain. They can generally be
lifted out by the use Of Il sharp. pointed
knife, by working down next to the true
skin, commencing at the outer edge and
completely surrounding it, gradually work.
ing from the circumference. You should
work down as deep as can be done without
drawing blood or causing much pain. The
feet may be soaked in hot water fer an hour
or more before the operation, and little
gycerine or sweet oil applied after it is re,
moved.
If the corn is inAamed, the feet must be
soaked in hot water several times for two or
three hours, being wrapped in soft, wet
cloths during the intervals, and when the in,
ilamation has subsidized, the corn should be
pealed out as above directed.
Another method is to soak the corn for
two or three hours, then shave off the horny
part and apply drop of nitro muriatic or
of glacial acid. A sharp pointed stick
should be used, and the smallest drop placed
upon the centre of the corn, care being tax en-
not to drop it on the skin or surrounding
tissues. This may be repeated several times,
if necessary, after which keep it moistened
with glyceriAe or oil for few days, when it
will come out. The acid should not be ap.
piled if the corn Is inAamed. Wear easy
fitting shoes if you do not want them to re.
turn.
We quote the foregoing approved instruc-
tons for the purpose of saying that they re-
commend nothing half so good as o bath Of
warm ley, after the use of which for fifteen
minutes any corn or bunion may be advan
tageously scraped without pain, and by ,
few repetitions of which the worst may BIZ
cured

Thoughts for the Public.

The world estimates men by their success
in life; and by general consent, success is
evidence of superiority.
Never, under any circumstances, assume
responsibility you can avoid consistently
with your duty to yourself and others.
Base all your actions upon principle Of
right preserve your integrity of character,
and in doing this, ,,erer reckon cost.
Remember that self interest is more likely
to warp your judgment than all other cir.
cumstances combined therefore, look well
to your duty when your interest is concerned.
Never make money at the expense of yeai
reputation.
Be neither lavish nor nggardly; of the
two avoid the latter. A mean man is uni.
versally despised, but public favor is step.
ping stone to Observation-Disclosures gener.
Gus feelings should be cultivated.
Say but little-think much-and do more.
Let your expenses be such as to leave a
balance in your pocket. Ready money is q
good friend in need.
Keep clear of the law for when you gain
your case, you are generally the loser Of
money.
Wine. drinking and cigar smoking are bad
habits. They impair the mind and pocket,
and lead to the waste of time.

A Word to Young Ladies.

Do not dismiss your habits of study when
YOU cease to attend school. That crises is
often hazardous one in the history Of a
young lady. If she has gained distinction
there, without radical love of knowledge,
her improvement ceases with the excitement
that sustained it. If a latent fondness for
expensive dress and fashionable amusements
was cherished in her period of classical ed
usation, she will rush into them with eager
ness proportional to her previous restraint.
Satisfied with past honors, and believing
that she 4" has already attained, and is al
ready perfect" she slumbers at her post,
and, in q few years, perceiyes those out
stripping her whose talents she once held in
contempt. Every young lady who, at lcav'
ing school, entertains clear and comforta
BILE conviction that she has finished her edu.
cation, should recollect the reproof Of the
venerable DR.. Bush to young physician,
who spoke of the time when he finished his
studies. When you finished your studies -
Why, you must he happy man to have fin.

TIE MOTH.

1t has long been known that the white sill
very moth is the great enemy of carpets and
furniture, but there is a smaller fly, of a
dark drab color, much more to be dreaded.
Indeed it was only first observed by any one
seven years ago, and yet it is far more
dreaded by the upholsterers, or, rather, by
intelligent families who arc in the habit Of
watching their upholstery, than the old and
we'll described miller. The worm is only
about quarter of an inch long, and taper
ing from the head to the tail. This moth
generally penctrates chair or sofa between
the back and seat, where it can, or under
the seat, where an opening among the springs
seems to offer safe retreat. This effected,
the worm will appear in about two months,
eating the WOODEN portion of the plush or
other covering, if of wool, but avoiding as
much as possible the cotton or other mate.
rial. If they drop on the floor underneath
the furniture, they will attack and destroy
the carpet. They continue procreatng and
destroying all through the year, the heat Of
4 parler keeping them alive. A piece of
furniture was observed constantly to be sur
rounded with these small drab moths, until
at last the covering was removed, and it was
found literally alive with worms and full of
eggs.
Constant removals, watchfulness and care
are the only preventives. Snuff, pepper,
camphor are powerless, OR nearly so, against
this furniture moth. Alcohol IS of no avail.
Exposure to fresh air, or wind in motion, Of
all seems most effective. Steam will effect.
ually destroy the eggs, so that on carpets
wet muslin run over with hot iron will cf
tectnally dislodge them. Perhaps, if we
could know the truth, horsehair cushions
first came into use as a protection against
these. But though we have forgotten the
lessons learned by our ancestors experience,
and brought back the old fashion they dis
carded, the moths have not forgotten to re-
turn to their old haunts. A more careful
upholstery may do something to prevent the
ravagcs eli this destroyer, but some new fab
rio, not Of wool, will have to be introduced,
as hcrsehair is new so universally discarded
as old fashioned.

How Gas Consumers Nav be
Cheated.

The question is often raised as to whether
there is fraud in the manufacture of gas
1t is probable that there may be great
difference i'll quality, and it is possible that
companies understand how to make cheap
gas. People think they have burned less
gas-they know they have had less light
but economize how they may, they soon
discover that their economy has been exer.
cised in vain, and they are puzzled.
1t seems that the people of Liverpool
England were troubled with the same
mystery in connection with their gas bills
which has puzzled our people. Finally, the
editor Of the Journal of that city, with the
view of solving the difficulty, submitted the
following question to the editor of Nusgrares
Chemistry as applied to Arts and Manulac.
lures. as 1t possible, by manufacturing
inferior gas, to compel the meter to register
against the consumer On page 14G, vol.
2, OF the work quoted, the reply is GWEN
The editor says: 'It is no matter what
kind of gas, insolublc in water, is made, the
air was passed into the mains and entered
the meter in company with coal gas, 1t pould
tell against the consumer, and The light moula
be deteriOrafed.'
Experiments made at the gas works in
Liverpool justified the statement. 1t APP.
pears that if no more than one tenth ofcom.
mon air is introduced into the gas holder
charged with gas, the meter will register
ten per cent, or more against the consumer,
and haye no visible effect upon the light,
which is an important fact.
The mode of detecting the presence of
common air in coal gas is thus described -
1t is by collecting portion of the gas over
mercury, and then by passing up, first, a
few drops Of caus.ic potassa, and afterwards
drop or two Of a solution of pyrogallic
ac,d. If the liquid assumes blood.red hue
oxygen, indicating the presence of atmos
pheric air, is mixed with the gas.
