Fall Management Of Potatoes.
KEEPING OVER THE WINTER.

hEEf1Nu OtLh lhE W N1N1Eh.
Potatoes should be sold in the
fall, or at least before the cold
makes the..exposure consequent
upon transportation risky, if not
impossible. If one hundred
bushels are placed in an average
cellar in October, they will meas
ure out not over seventy-fve the
next May. If they are touched
with rot, the amount will be less.
There is, first, the natural shrink
age, caused by the drying of the
tuber, which will average, after
the potatoes are in the cellar, at
least three per cent. a month.
In addition thereto, second, some
OF them will inevitably decay !;
and third, when sorted over the
next May, many that were fit for
the table when placed in the Gel
lar in the fall will have shrunken
below the proper limit, and will
of necessity go in with those
which are wholly or partially de-
cayed-all these, not to say any
thing about the chances of frost
in cellars, which is sometimes
very destructive. Taking all the
drawbacks together, the best cul-
tivators say that fifty cents in the
fall-especially if they can be de-
livered from the fields better
than seventy-five cents any time
after the first of the next April.
but if compelled to winter this
crop they should be placed in
bins, the bottoms of (which should
be at least four inches from the
bottom ofthe cellar. These bins
should be matched boards, so that
no circulation of air is possible
and only open at the top. The
potatoes should be put in these
bins perfectly dry, and if, after
remaining. in :.Aie cellar two weeks
to cool off, they could be covered,
their preservation would be more
certain, and the inevitable shrink
age somewhat less.
SELECTION OF NEXT YEARS SEED.
The best potatoes for planting
are those about the size of small
hens cggs-not sufficiently large
for market and rather too large to
boil for the pigs. They can be
selected from the small ones
when these are being removed
to the kettle for boiling, and
should be put into barrels and
placed in the driest part Of a dry
cellar. Cut into two pieces in
the spring, they will be exactly
suited for planting in hills or
drills. They will go further than
larger ones, and are altogether
the cheapest as well as the best
seed. a ..-..

Sunshine and Clouds.

All, this beautiful world!
know not what to think of it.
Sometimes it is all sunshine and
giadness, and heaven itself lies
not far off, and then it suddenly
changes, and is dark and sorrow
full, and the clouds shut out the
day. In the lives of the saddest
of us there are bright days like
this, when we feel as five could
take the great world in our arms.
Then come gloomy hours, when
the fire will not burn on our
hearths, and all without. and
within is dismal, cold and dark.
Believe me, every heart has its
secret sorrows. which the world
knows not, and oftentimes we call
man cold when he is only sad. 2

Under the Rock.

A lady was riding in her car
riage, when, spying beautiful
plant by the side ofa rock, she
alighted to take it up, that she
might remove it to her cOnsery-
atory, but found that delicate as
it appeared, it resisted all her eff
forts, because the root ran under
the rock. This is an illustration
of the safety of the Christian,
whose life of beauty is under the
shelter of the Rock, and whose
root of strength runs farbeneath it

Bright with the hues of the cloud, of the

Transient as lovely, unfolding to fade:
Soonest they wilt where the sunbeams are

Longest they linger within the deep shade

Hopes with a brightness that is not of earth
Which from our noblest and best aspiration:
Spring in their heavenly beauty to birth,

Often fade first in the sunlight of mirth.

How to Keep Eggs for a Year.

Take perfectly fresh and sound
eggs, and then pure water. Fol
every three gallons of water put
in one pintof fresh Stacked lime,
and common salt one-half pint
Mix well, and let the barrel be
halffull of this liquor; then, with
a dish, let down the fresh eggs
into it tipping the dish after it fills
with water, so that they may roll
out without cracking the shell
for if the shell should be cracked,
the egg will spoil.

Fried Squash.

A delicious dish can be made
of the summer crooked-necked
squash, simply by frying them
in butter. Slice them as you
would cucumbers, dip in dry flour,
fry to brown, and imagine you
are eating fried oysters. We have
fried cucumbers for several years
and liked them much, but the
squash is better.

A Little Blind Boy and His Bible.

A little blind boy, aged about
twelve years, wished to learn to
read the Bible with raised letters,
prepared for the use of the blind.
In a very short space of time he
learned to run his fingers along
the page, and to read it with ease.
The highest object of his wishes
was to possess a complete copy of
the Bible for the blind. which con-
sists of several large volumes.
His parents were unable to buy
one, but a minister obtained one
from a benevolent society. 1t
was in several volumes.
Not long after the little boy
received the books, his pious
mother saw him retire to the room
where they they were kept, and
she stepped softly to the door to
see what he would do. And why
do you think the dear little boy
went alone to his roOm2 His
mother saw him kneeling by the
side of those precious volumes,
and lifting up his hands in prayer
to return thanks to God for this
blessed gift of His holy Word.
He then rose from his knees, and
taking up one of the volumes in
his arms, hugged and kissed it,
and then laid it on one side and
proceeded to the next and so on,
till he had, in his simple but pleas
ing manner, signified his love for
each of those blessed volumes,
which through the medium of
touch, had spread before his mind
the wonders and the glOries Of
Gods love toman.

Tses FOR AnDIess

The apple crop throughout the Union
will probably exceed that Of any previous
year since the culture Of fruit assumed ITS
present Importance, and became so widely
known.
Not unfrequently certain sections are en-
tirely without apples, even If peaches and
pears are reasonably abundant; but this
year the crop Is general IN It's distribution,
and must be very large in it's aggregate.
What can be done with them? Early
fall apples can be gathered and made into
cider. Nine bushels will make q barrel,
and that barrel turned to vinegar ought to
bring its owner, within q twelvemonth after
it is ready for sale. at least 80 cents q gal
Ion. Good cider-vinegar has been worth
60 cents, and may reach that figure again
before another apple year.
Some OF the miserable compounds that
people call vinegar, and which are bought
and sold for such, cost less IN cash, but are
far more expensive to whatsoever is beguil-
ed into using them.
Another appropriation-If your cellar is
not good for making vinegar, or your
neigbborhood lacEs barrels which can be
| bought at reasonable price-is, to iced
them to hogs. Oar practice has been to
boil them with potatoes. II the proportion
Of one bUshel 0. fruit to two Of vegetable,
and the stew was not only palatable, but
we believe the apples possessed an actual
value not far from 20 cents bushel.
As to winter apples, they should al be
gathered, and with more care than would
be bestowed on crop which was small,
and, of course, sure Of ready sale.
When there is scarcity, anything viii
sell; when the supply is abundant the best
always finds the reRdiest market, and the
| poorest freQaently mono
Besides, good apples, well gathered and
we'll preserved, cannot fail OF finding a re-
| muneratlVe sale some time before the next
season, if not this fall or wintor. There
cannot be an ovcrstock next June. and il
care in gathering and preserving
| will give to ths iruit grower a sure
market, then the bestow&i OF both is alike
