Working Irish Potatoes.

AS soon as they get up high enough,
say three or four inches, run "twister,' .
or other plOw that will throw the earth
over them and entirely cover them up.
This will not injure them, as might be
supposed, but will be an advantage to
them in several ways. First, if they
are very early and liable to have the
tops bit by frost, it will be protection;
and second, it checks an early and lux
uriant growth of tops, and causes them
to commence forming tubers earlier.
They will soon grow out again, and
when they are large enough plow them
again, throwing the dirt to them, but
dO not cover them this time. This is
all the plowing they will need. Keep
them clear Of weeds and grass, of which
there will not be much after the second
plOWing. ~

Moon Fallacy.

1 have seen several articles in your
paper in regard to cutting timber by
|smOon signs" More than forty years
ago l cut, for number of years, at
different times in the year, considerable
second-grOwth beech for plane stocks,
which think is the very worst wood
known to preserve sound, or keep from
getting "dOzy" as we used to call it.
After trying many mOOny expert
ments, summer and winter, l came to
this conclusion, that the true secret was
to cut the timber when there was the
least possible amount of sap in the
body of the tree-say the coldest
weather in winter, or the warmest in
summertime or February, when the
sap Is in the tops or in the roots of the
tree. Every tree I cut after the sap be-
gan to start in the spring was sure to
"doze" until June, when 1 found it
safe to cut again.-,Scientjfc american.

Minority Representation.

This principle which has boen under dis.
cussion in Europe and America, for some
months, has met every where, both in theory
and practice, with general favor. 1t is sug-
gested as one step in peaceful solution Of
the difficulties, now surrounding our people,
aud will be a leading subject of discussion in
the May convention. 1t certainly presents
itself as an eminently fair and just provision
in all popular governments. 1t is not repub.
lican that numerical majority of ten or even
one in county, entitled to five Representa-.
tivcs, should elect tho whole number, leaving
tho minority unreprcscnted aud unprotected,
though it be the property holding class. This
principle of cumulative voting would defeat
this and prove check against extreme and
ruinous partisan legislation, promoting the
general welfare. 1t enables The minority to
centre on one or two men, casting for them
the whole vote. A county of 500 Democrats
and 500 Republicans and entitled to three
representatives would enable the Republicans
to elect two and the Democrats one represcn.
taivc. The five hundred Democrats could
cnst 1900 votes for ono member, while the
Republicans could cast 800 votes each for
thcre members or 900 votes each for two
members. 1t would be check onsS&h par.
