STATIsTIcs-We find the following
clever hints in the Mobile Nationals.
Statistics are all the fashion, and the fol-
lowing, furnished by figurist, are very
much SO. They may be commended ''to
keep in the cool"
Out of FIVE hundred persons only FIVE
survive long enough to mind their bust
ness.
OF every ten men in the street not more
than one has brains enough to keep from
standing gossiping directly in the middle
of the sidewalk or crossing.
Out of every twelve women one dozen
make themselves up to attract as much
attention as possible, and then pretend to
be angry if they get it.
Out of one hundred persons about FIVE
score don't behave as well as they require
other people to do.
Out of the fifteen in a street passenger
railway car, about one will, in riding a
mile, conduct himself all the way just as
he ought to do.
Out of a large number of young people
who have never seen anything of life or
the world, an equal number constantly
refer to their experience.
Out of eighty young women whose ex-
perience of life is confined to gossiping
and flirting with simpletons, like them
selves, at parties, all except none are gen.
orally of the opinion that they have seen
an immense amount of humanity.
Out of several dozen people only linn
lted number will talk gossip of their
friends, and then kindle up if they hear
It has been talked OF themselves.
There is only one drunkard to every
seventy four persons, but the liquor which
the other seventy-three stchew up" daily
would keep half dozen of them drunk
as peeps until the next morning.
Out of one hundred persons six reach
the age of sixty years, but of these, FIVE
generally behave so as to make their
friends wish they hadn't.

for the farmer.

SroRIyG PoTAToEs.-Experlence
has proved to every potatoe lser,that
the practice of digging them up IN the
morning. and leaving them on the
ground, exposed to the heat of the sun
during the day, is a very injurious enc.
Though potatoes are provided with
eyes, it is better if they never see the
light. Potatoes that have become heat
ed in the sun are exceedingly liable to
rot; but even if they even escape this
their healthfulness and nutritive quail
tiles are greatly impaired. In some
sections of ireland the custom prevails
of putting the potatoes into a covered
top Immediately after being dug
The dryer the atmosphere is and
the colder-provided it is above the
freezing point-the better it viii be for
keeping potatoes. IF placed in such
an atmosphere, they will show no ten
dency to sprout or rot for years, nor
can they be distinguished from. fresh
dug potatoes. All changes of temper
ature or of the degree of moisture are
unfavorable to the keeping of potatoes.
A very good method of keeping them
in small quantities, as for family use,
is to assert them into barrels, FIJI the
interstices with sun dried sand, and
then cover the tops of the barrels
with nicely fitted tufts. IF kept in
this manner, they are not likely to be-
C come shriveled, and viii retain the
freshness of recently dug potatoes till
late in the season after they are dug.
They will also show very little disposi-
ton to sprout.
If farmers are not provided with
suitable cellars for storing potatoas,
then they are best preserved by ma
king heaps of them on the top of the
ground, and cover them over with straw
and earth. IF this method is adopted
care should be taken to cut small
drain around the heap, through which
the surplus water may pass off and to
provide a means of ventilating the
heap during the warm weather that
often occurs in the West, even during
the winter. For this purpose it is well
to make tube of boards, about six
inches square, which will reach from
the bottom of the heap, and which will
extend foot or two above the outer
surface. The part placed beneath the
covering should be perforated with au-
ger holes. The top should also be
closed by means of an end piece, thro'
which should be two inch hole, to be
closed at pleasure by the means of
slide.
Farmers who live in the vicinity of a
sand bank, will probably find it will
pay to excavate suitable space in it
for storing potatoes, and to secure it
from. .caving in by means of rude box.
In some portions of New England, po-
tatoes are stored in this way, even by
farmers who have good cellars Prai-

MAKING CIDER.-Some farmers are
of the opinion that anything in the
shape of apples is good enough to make
cider, as that will work itself clear IN
the end. 1t is true cider can be made
of wormy, rotton and dirty apples, but
these conditions can hardly fail to af-
feet its quality. If apples were Sc
lected with proper care and ground in
a clean state there is no doubt bu, the
cider would be much better than II
generally is, Some people grind the
apples and Immediately put them in
the pomace to press. This is wrong
at least the cider will not be as finely
favored as it would be were the nom
ace left in the vat half dav or moro
before being put up in the cheese and
subject to pressure.
