Coal ASHES FOR CoRN.-W. S. Smedly,
Leonviile, Pa, writes to the American In
stltute Farmers Club: Last winter we say.
ed our coal ashes, sitting them and keep
ing them dry till spring, when we mixed
with about half bulk Of ground plaster,
and when the corn was well through the
ground, set boy to putting the mixture
on the hills, at the rate of about half
handful TO each hull, going over about half
the held OF twelve acres and thought moth
ing more of it until narrowing time, when
noticed, in crossing the field, a very dis
tinct difference in the appearance of the
corn; that where the ashes and plaster
had been applied being very dark and
healthy, the other part pale and feeble
However, the whole field made a very fair
crop for dry season, but l am satisfied
that that part where the plaster and ashes
were applied made fifty bushels more
shelled corn than where there was none
and the ashes were coal ashes. Plaster
alone had never acted so well for US.
PoTAToEs AS FooD FOR CALvEs.-"Stock
Grower esiamunicates the following 40
tho 0Lio SaI1sar:
We have now been feeding our calves
with that esculent root for several weeks,
with very good results
We do not try to make them substitute
for milk, but an addition to it. The pota-
toes are cooked with those which we use
in our family, cooking in the morning
what we feed Mt evening, and at noon what
we require in the morning. This keeps
them sweet and fresh.
They are mashed and put into their milk
The calves eat them readily, and thrive re-
markably upon them. They do not cause
them to scour, as meal often does, and, we
think, they tend to keep the appetite even
or regular-at least, so far as we have
found them, ready for Their morning and
evening meal, without any of that dainti-
ness which often characterizes calves fed
with skinned and sour milk from the pail

A Tale Of Lave

Three years ago a young German paid
the passage of a young lady to this country,
her parents being too poor to do so, on
their pledge that she should marry him.
The family settled in Pittsburg, and the
young man went to Wisconsin. A few DAYS
since he returned to Pittsburg to calm his
bride, but it seems that she had meantime
been wooed and won by another fellow.
The indignation of the old lover was some
thing tremendous. He demanded marriage.
The girl refused. He then demanded
the refunding of his money, and brought
suit for its recovery. Among the items in the
bill were the passage money, pay for four
tickets to New York theatres, and sundry
bottles OF wine and glasses of the t'good old
larger beer The bill which he presented
footed up S205, and he said to Ohristiana,
''Settle this bill or marry me-" She de-
cided to let the case come before the Alder
man. At the hearing an acute attorney who
had been engaged for the young lady ques-
toned the young man closely, and the bill
of damages was reduced to S42. Still the
anxious young man insisted that the bill
should be paid or matrimOny ensue. AT
this point the Pittsburgh lover, whom the
young lady really wished to marry, stepped
up and paid the S42, and as a result there
will probably soon be wedding. 80

To KEEP ICE.-Now that ice is high, it is
well to know how to keep a small piece a
good while. Make double pocket of
strong wooden cloth, no matter how coarse
and faded it is. Have a space of two inches
or so between the inner and outer pockets,
and pack this space as full as possible of
feathers. You have no need to use geese
feathers; hens feathers are Just as good.
With pocket thus constructed and kept
closely tied at the mouth, few pounds OF
ice may be kept week.

Do PoTAToEs MIX IN THE HuL?-We oft
en- see the question propounded, "Do po-
tatoes mix IN the hill?" 1t is always safe
to answer in the negative; yet there are
cases when it is difficult to prove this as
sertion, for potatoes planted as particular
variety, distinguished by particular colors,
ETC., are known 10 come to maturity differ
ing in some respects. This is accounted
for from what is termed ''bud variation. p"
A single eye of potato may-as is known
to be the fact-produce new variety.
