Culture of Potatoes.

liza large quantity OF weeds spring
M as soon after planting potatoes,
they may be destroyed very cXpcdl-
tio,isly while young, by drawing
large drag Of brush over the ground,
or a common harrow can hc used by
taking out a few teeth, so that the
potatoes will not be torn out, or a
small harrow that will so between
the rows may be used. When the
potato-vincs are three or four inches
high, run between the rows with a
small plow, blowing colsc to the po-
tatocs and throwing the burrows in
to the middle from each row, to coy
or the weeds and loosen the ground
near the potatoes. After the roots
get large and The tubcrs begin to
be formed, the plow must not 60
close enough TO disturb them. The
double mold board plow is best for
later cultivation.
Once going between the rows at a
time is sufficient with it. IT ON M
clincd ground, the rows should be
made with tue slope, and not across
it. If they arc made across the hill,
and cultivated all the time in that
way, in case of hcavy rains the water
will he damned up and will form
pools, and the groung will be still
and hard when the water dries up,
or it will break through and wash
out the crop and inurrc the land but
if the burrows are ny and down the
hill the water passes into the soil
gradually as il falls, and there is no
damage done. It's Of great impor-
lance to keep large "ccds down
while the potato j. aiuring, and
even until il ia Dug,
This may be done most quickly
and chcaply BY hand 20 through
after a rain, when the ground is
moist, and they can DC easily pulled
up by the roots. Shake the dirt oil
and throw it into the potato rows.
If this is repeated several times
during the season, great expense
and labor will be saved in digging,
If neglected very often the weeds
will have TO be mown before the pota-
toes can be found. Don't pick OIL
the blossoms with the object of saw
ing nutrimcnt for tho potato. The
eXcrcmcnt and poison that escape
through the blossoms arc then turn
cd back into the potato and make it
strong and poisonous.

MUSCULAR PoWEE.--Thc force Will
which animal muscular tissue con
tracts, is very much greater than
most people conceive. The muscles
having to perform their work against
a great leverage, the power they exert
in lifting bodies and overcoming
rcsistanccs, is not indicated by the
weights raised or the work done.
Whenever we encounter The direct
power of muscular tissue, rs in the
setting of Il dislocatcd shoulder, or n
broken thigh bonc, we arc able to
gain some appreciation Of the enor-
nous force they exert. The small
muscles of the adult human jaw arc
capable of cxcrting an average force
of $50 pounds. That is, their COM
bincd contractilc power would, if
directly cXcrtcd, raise and suspend a
weight $50 pounds. Yet these mus
clcs weigh but a few ounces. II is
unbOubtcd fact, that no machine
ever constructed by man equals
(whcn compared TO weight the
power ofanimals. II is only because
coal il a cheaper fuel than hay, oats,
and bccf-stcak, that steam
can supply cheaper power
than animals. The flying machine
inventors will search a long time
they will find a motor that
compete in power with the pccto-
Ial muscles of birds of flight.

tip clear over. lie went down hill
on three legs. ! worked him SiX or
eight days | did not expect an,
more value from him but on the
18th of May cut the large cord
about half way to the knee, so that
il let his foot down fat on the
ground. in six weeks it healed up,
and | put out over thirty acres OF
wheat, and he helped to do il, besides
considerable other work. lie is now
ten years old. ! consider him better
than a r%ingboncd and spawned

A Successful "oil, Woman.

A novelty in feminine enterprise has
attracted much attention among the
petroleum oil dealers here. A New
York lady, the wife of Mr.. John Hocpe.
who had been operating in the oil re-
gions the past three years. while visit
ing TitusviIle and the wells through the
country, was presented with lease to
put down "ladies well' The liberal
donor is Mr.. j. McCray. owner of one of
the most prolific farms in the oil regions.
The only terms snd conditions are that
it must be entirely ladies enterprise
no gentleman to be interested. Mr..
McCray is the happy recipient IF 81 900
a day income from his wells at Petro>
lenm Centre. Mrs. Hope contracted
for engine house, derrick, and all need
ed carpenter work /; purchased the
engine, casing, and other machinery
employed drillers, engineers and other
vorkmen to run the we'll"
Mrs. Hope associated with her
own the capital of some lady partners,
and successfully finished the we'll on
the lst day OF December 1t is now
pumping $50 barrels of oil day. AT
present prices this investment yields
$500 every "a hours. After paying
royalty to the wife of the land ownel
(for whom the well is named g LADY
McCray'') and current expenses, the
fair capitalists are realizing handsome
income on their enterprise. The wei
is 886 feet deep, aud the third. or sand

and moderate weather, another wei
will probably be drilled, under the same
supervision, on this lease, and it /.

what Literature and science have Lost
by the siege Of Paris,

Some time must elapse, says the Pal
Mall Grzette, beft re we shall be able to
estimate with accuracy the losses which
the interests of literatnre aud science
have sustained through the siege OF
Paris. Not few eminent professors
and members of the Institute have been
serving in the ranks of the National
Guard and the army OF defence, and il
is hardly possible that they have all
escaped without injury. Already We
learn that the Able Moigno, editor of
the Les Mondes has been wounded by
the explosion of shell; that NJ. Des-
noyers, file, of the Museum Library,
has been killed !; and that NJ Thenard
is a prisoner of Germany. As to the
interruption to study, it is only neces-
sary to bear in mind how very few phi
lo>ophers have the habit of abstraction
attributed 10 Joseph Scalieer, who Is
said to have been 50 engrossed in
Homer, that he became aware OF the
massacre of st. Bartholomew aud of his
escape only on the day subsequent to
he catastrophe.
The damage inflicted on buildings
devoted to science is more obvious The
Galleries Of Zoology and Mineralogy
have both been penetrated by shells !;
the College de France has not escaped
unhurt; and the Meteorological Obser
vatory lately erected in the Champs DE-
Mars has been converted into barracks.
In the Jartiin des Planes, and Jard n
d d'Acclimatation the ruin has been com
plete, all the animals having been
slaughtered, either for food or by way
Of precaution, and the rare trees-some
of them of priceless value-have been
cut down for defensive purposes or else
to make charcoal. To the gardens and
nurseries outside the city, the devasta-
tion has been equally severe. Chatenay
the chief establishment of NJ. Croux
formed the headquarters OF the Bava-
rian artillery; the large palm house
was turned into a stable. and the flower
