Every Thing In Its Place.

1t is one very essential point to have a
place for everything. The next point is
to keep everything in place. How shall
we do it? We have hired men and boys /;
they all leave things where they use
them. We tell them to put things in place
but they won't do it. Suppose you are a
carpenter by trade: you go to your shop
to work; the first thing you want is the
hand saw; it can't be found. You go to
the house and at last you find it hanging
on an apple-tree, where you had it to saw
off limb, when you were blowing corn
The next thing looked for is an augur.
That is gone. The hammer is gone. At
last you find it on fence post, and say, &c
left it there when nailed on that board.
1 went to put up the bars and came back,
and forgot it."
If we follow the example of gentle
man whom 1 worked for in New Hamp-
shire when l was quite young, we will
have no trouble in finding whatever tool
we want went there Monday morning
to commence work. He said, "You may
go with me and will look around a little,
whilst breakfast is being prepared" We
went to an clubhouse, and there were his
farming tools all in place. We went to
the wagon-house. Everything was there
pertaining to or used about wagons or
carriages. We found place for every
thing and everything in place. He told
ME "when you have done using any tool,
put it in place before you do anything
more"
Whilst working for him he told me to
go and cut a tree out of the road about
eighty rods distant and then go and get
his chain at the blacksmith shop. said
to him "shall leave the ak there until
come back with the chain?" "No," said
he, first put the ak in place, and then go
and get the chain" If every one would
adopt the same principle, it would save q
great deal of fretting and loss of time

Hog Pens.

EVERY farmer knows how offensive a
common sized hog pen or yard becomes
during the hot weather of summer, and
how during rainy time it becomes in fact
swamp Of mud. To remedy this, those
who have abundance, fill up with straw or
other litter, ashes, &c, and yet the remedy
is only partial; the smell is not disposed
of, and the animals are full half the time
wading in mire.
The following manner of building pen
we have known to remedy the, evil COM
pletely: Take two pieces of six by eight
timber each fourteen feet long; dress one
end of each in form of sled runner, then
lay them parallel eight feet apart, with the
six inch edge on the ground; now take
four by four scantling and halve or tenant
in crOsswise one piece at each end, and one
foot from the ends of the runners, leaving
the four inch strips one and one half
inches below the level line of the upper
side of the runners; next lay floor of one
and one-half inch plank over one half the
surface, say eight by six feet. Next NOR
tice in four by four scantling at each cor
ner and midways for posts on which to
nail boards for the enclosing. Let these
four by four pests be flush with the out
side line of the runners; then nail inch
boards on the inside, dividing the whole
with cross-fence or partition on line of
the floor Roof over the f1oored part,
from the trough across one end or side of
the foored part, and with side door shut
your hogs in or out of that part-and your
pen is completed.
Now you ask where is the benefit of
this pen over any common one with posts
set in the ground? We answer, you can
hitch team to it and remove it to any
part of your grounds, placing it from time
to time where most convenient to feed, etc.,
besides enriching various spots of ground
and having dry piece and fresh ground
to work in.-Ohi0 Farmer.

Digging Potatoes.

Potatoes are bringing such poor prices
this year that unless we exercise great
economy in digging we shall profit little
by the crop. This year will show also the
great advantage that potatoes which grow
close have over those which are scattered
all through the ground. We are getting
to be critical about the various qualities Of
our crops, and this is one which, when the
crob is harvested, makes many dollars
difference in the labor of digging, and in
the number of potatoes left in the ground
We have made some careful experiments
upon several varieties, with view to
ascertaining how much scattered the tubers
lie, and would be glad to hear from any
who will make similar ones The ques-
tons to be answered are:-How far, on
an average, from the center of the hill do
the great majority, say five-sixths of all
the potatoes lie? and how far is it, on an
average, from the centre of the hill, or
the main stalk, to the outside of the out
most tuber? At least ten hills should be
dug to get an average.
When potatoes are plOwed out there
should be plenty of hands, and each one
should have just so much space assigned
him as he can clear up between the times
the pillow passes. A large, double-mould-
board pillow, drawn by two horses and run
deep, does good work, and the various po-
tato diggers which are on the principle of
double mould board plows with the mould
board slit so as TO form fingers, are not

ever, when one has many potatoes to dig
and much ground 70 go over. they
viii pay. We don't believe it will
pay. to get any other kind. Ger
tainly we have never seen one work which
we regarded as success. If land b in
condition for winter grain (rye), and a
sufficient force of diggers can be secured,
the potatoes may be taken out and the
land let thoroughly plowed at one opera
ton. In this case we would take . 1O-inch
or 12-inch flrrow, eight, inches deep
through the rows, and plow, following the
rows to the end, and carrying the plow
across the ends Of the lands. If there are,
many weeds or much haulm upon the
field, 1t should be moved over, and the
rubbish raked up and carted off before the
digging commences. And in whatever
way the potatoes are dug, the field should
be thoroughly narrowed afterwards. 1t
viii usually pay to crossplow and harrow

to follow.
should the tubers be found more or less
decayed, they should be put upon barn
fiocf or spread out somewhere under cover,
and carefully sorted. The partially de-
eayed ones, If the worst spots of rot be
pushed out with the thumb, may be boiled
for the hogs. Potatoes win heat if placed
in large piles before they have thoroughly
dried and lost some moisture. They may
be put not more than two feet deep in bins
or in pits as soon as dug, if the weather be
dry.-Anericdn Agriculturaliss. Ns

IT is almost impossible to 1T shingles 40
closely to the sides of q chimney as to
convey al the water that flows down the
side Of a tall one beyond the lower edge,
as shingles win continue to- shrink and
swell as the weather changes, During a
driving storm, water often pours down
the side of q hieh chimney-top, 50 that
several quarts are often lodged ON the
wall over them. And many times during
. protracted storm after every brick mas
absorbed as much water as it can contain,
the rain that falls on the inside OF the
chimney win soak through the bricks At
the bottom, and damage and disfigure

down THROUGH the bottom when rain falls
on the inside, let q bushel. or 50 Of clean
sand be turned into the top. Sand VIII
absorb water quickly. retain large
quantity, and allow it to pass of by eva
poration much sooner than loazn mould,
or clay. To carry the rain beyond the
junction of the roof and. chimney on the
outside, cut out the mortar between two
courses of bricks to the depth Of an inch,
insert a piece of tin or sheet-iron three

Preserving Apples, Pears, etc.

The following has been recently pub
lished by the Royal Horticultural Society
in relation to the preservation of fruits:
1. As the flavor of fruit is so easily af-
fected by heterogeneous odors, it is highly
desirable that the apple and pear rooms
should be distinct.
2. The walls and the floor should be an
nually washed with a solution of quick
lime, to which common salt is sometimes
added
3. The room should be perfectly dry,
kept at as uniform temperature as prac-
ticable, and be well ventilated; but there
should not be thorough draught.
4. The utmost care should be taken in
gathering the fruit, which should be
handled as little as possible.
s. For present use, the fruit should be
well ripened; but if for long keeping, it is
better, especially with pears, that it should
not have arrived at complete maturity
This point, however, requires considers
BILE Judgment.
6. No imperfect fruit should be stored
with that which is sound, and every more
or less decayed specimen should be imme-
diately removed. .T
.. If placed on shelves, the fruit should
not lie more than two deep, and no straw
should be used.
g. Where especially clear and beautiful
specimens are wanted, they may be pack
ed carefully in dry bran, or in layers o.
perfectly dry cottonwood, either in closed
boxes or in large garden-pots. Scentles'
sawdust will answer the same purpose
but pine sawdust is apt to communicate
an unpleasant taste.
0. With care, early apples may be KEEP,
till Christmas, while many kinds may bt
preserved in perfection to second year.
