WATER GROWING PLANTs.-Let tillers of
the soil initiate nature. The earth is new

weather. When the surface of the earth

to moisten the surface, thus preparing it

not fall when the sun shines. Tt will do
plants more injury than benefit to water
them when the sun shines. Earth must
first be rendered damp before it will abb
serb water rapidly, many gardeners have
such vague and indefinite notions concern
ing applying water to growing plants, that
the plants are frequently watered when
the roots do not need moisture; and at
other times they suffer for the, want of

SPRoUrING PoTAToEs.-The German
town Telegraph says: Sprouting the white
potato win advance the crop two weeks.
They should be cut so that about two eyes
are allowed to each piece. and these should
be planted in hot-beds with very thin COW
ering of soil ; or it is better to plant in
boxes and set these in q hot-bed, 80 that
after they are properly sprouted they can
be at once carried to the place of planting.
If the nights should be anyway cold,
protect with thin covering straw when
the plants make their appearance above
ground.
Some persons who want large quantity
sprouted, cut the potatoes as desired, and
spread them on boards, boxes or crates. in
dark place, and when sprouted, say from
an inch to an inch and half, expose them
to the light, moistening two or three times
a week with tepid water. They should he
planted out so that there is not more than
two inches of soil over the top of the
sprouts.

The FARMERS CREED.-We believe in
small farms and thorough cultivation.
We believe the soil loves to eat as well
as the owner, and ought, therefore, to be
well manured.
We believe in going to the bottom of
things, and, therefore, in deep piowing,
and enough of it. All the better If it be
subsoil blowing.
We believe in large crops, which leave
land better than they found it, making
both the farm and farmer richer at once.
We believe that every farm should own
good farmer.
We believe that the fertilizer of any soil
is spirit of industry, enterprise and intel
ligence-without these, lime and gypsum
will be of little use.
We believe in good fences, good farm
houses, good orchards and children enough
10 gather the fruit.
We believe in clean kitchen, a neat wife
In 1t, clean cupboard, clean dairy, and
a clean conscience.

THE CHINESE SHoEMAKERS IN MASSA-
CHUsETTs.-A gentleman just from North
Adams, Massachusetts, says that the Chi
nese shoemakers employed by Mr.. Samp-
son ara rapidly becoming Amercanlzed In
manners, dress and tastes. A number OF
earnest men and women have devoted
themselves to their instruction every Sum
day, and so attached are the pupils to their
teachers that if one of the latter is UNI
avoidably absent the pupils will not listen
to the teachings of any other instructor.
They seem, generally, to have agreat de-
sire to learn the English language, and
number of them can already speak SO as to
be easily understood. In copying Ameri-
can dress, also, they show great aptness,
although most of them retain the blue cot
ton Chinese blouse and all wear the queue.
Mr.. Sampson asserts that as workmen
they are absolutely unexceptionable. They
turn out as much work as an equal num-
Der of the members of the ST. Crispin or
der, and the shoes are superior in the quail
ity of the work on them, owing to the
faithfulness of the men. The prejudices
of the people of the place, which were at
first strongly against the barbarians, are
giving way before the industrious and
quiet habits of the Chinese, their good hui
