CuItiyation of Potatoes

4 DR.. F. W. Hexfnierg, of westchester
County, recently reada paper on the
potato, before the sNewn York Fruit
Growers Clnb;i from whichth the follow
ing extract IS made ; =, se.'- :
s'The principal cultivation of the po-
tato consists in keeping the, soil loose
and free from weeds; a Whatever ypro-
cess accomplishes these points, best and
cheapest is the best cultivation. AS
soon as the potato vines appear above
the ground. witha small plow be plow-
ed away from the rows as close to the
potato as possible, About two weeks
after this a furrows with double
mould-board plow, is opened in the
centre between every two rows, and
repeated every Two weeks afterward,
until the vines cover the ground. II
the field is very weedy and the plow
does not destroy the weeds, it is neces-
sary to go ever the ground after plow-
ing and hoe up the weeds left BY the
'plow, and also cover Vines occasionally
uncovered by the plow. After piow.
ing has been discontinued a very i'm.
portant part of the cultivation com
mences. In order to obtain full croI
there should not, at any time, singlt
weed bevisibie ninlt the field. and all
weeds growing after the last plowing
should be pulled by hand After arail
while the soil is lightand loose, Isl an
excellent time, tosWeed potatoes, and il
should have the preference before any
other farm work. The time required

0aS c9TmpaTea Thp sbo with f9f
digging in, a clearifield is more than il
required to pqliithe weeds when they
are small, not to add theIincfease ofthG
crop. We have raised large crops with
out the useof the hoe, by simply plow
ing three times and pulling the weeds
twiee.i7When the potatoes are planted
late so that the ground can be plowe6
twice before planting, that is probably
the cheapest way to raise thec crop. = q.

The New york Dog-Pennd.

With the setting in of the first hot
days a fiat goes forth from the municipal
authorities, ordering that all dogs rum
ming at large without muzzleS are to be-
destroyed by the police. In connection
with this arrangement is the Institution
called the, dog-pound. The dogs are
tied up within the inclosure with the
bits of dirty string by which their cap
tors have dragged them to their .'vile
dungeon. u Most of them are coiled
away in feverish sleep, shaking and
whimpering in dream. as though haunt
ed by, bodings of their approaching fate.
AT the farther end of the room there is
ia large tank. Fitted to this, in such a.
way that it can pressed down into it, is
a strong wooden grating, and the tank
is further provided with hose through
Which it can be filed from the river
below. Two or three squalid young
men in dirty flannel shirts and cow
skin boots, are lettering about the place.
At a signal from the policeman in
charge, these men go in among the
dogs, and selecting the cemmonests of
them, seize them one. after another by
the necks and hind feet, and pitch them
into the tank, the sides Vdf whichare so
steep and slippery that there is no pos
sibility of the wretched animals
conc -, kl;a<. o,,t Al ,oxr, 49, 10 ,~,,-4a
tions set up by them are pitiful to hear.
Ff0m their tremulousi whiHes one can
tell they are perfectly conscious OF
their impending doom. They seem to
be- as certain of the death at hand as are
the passengers of ship laundering al
sea. When dogs enough have been
thrown into the tank, the water is lei
in by means of the hose; the grating is
!, fitted TO its place and pressed down
upon them; and the '.iob, z as the exc
cutioners call it, is done. ,sz5a-i !, -. 8.
The eagerness with which the better
: class of dogs confined in the pound
) watch for visitors is very remarkable
Il At every footstep that APPROACHES, ttht
most intelligent of them will start up
spring to the end oftheir teethers, and
. eagerly scan the features of the comers
When an owner comes to reclaim a los
5 favorite, the joy of the creature on
recognizing him is touching in the ex
treme.e Some of the dogs try to ingra
tiate themselves with any strange Wis
| itors who may arrive. Once, on visit
ing the pound, remarked particu
! Ilarly bright-looking young terrier, ,ver,
shaggy as to his coat, and of UNUSUAL,
large Size. The efforts made by thi
q knowing fellow to conciliate visitor
: were very amusing. If his tongue dit
. not speak, certainly his eyes did, AIT
his tail was absolutely eloquent. Oh

.TheICrime OF suicide

y HaHIF e a E. -
In our own country, suicide seems to
be growing more and more common
every year, and is being indulged in on.
all manner of occasions, and ON all
manner of pretexts. Unrequited love,
long-continued illness, hopelessp poverty,
and business disappointments, appear
to be the leading incentives. Quite a
numbergo cases have recently trans
pired in this and adjoining States,
where meRa have put an end to their
lives merely because attacked by the
small -pox. In Iowa, Illinois and Wis
.consin,- the published suicides average
about one a day, taking our exchange
List as a criterion. Even this estimate
may be far too moderate,
Certain philosophers have advanced
the opinion that no man of sane mind
lever committed suicide that the crime
itself is proof suficient of mental de
Irangment. We differ with them. II
would be full as reasonable to account
for ali rash actions on such score,
Men who have committed murder are
constantly being acquitted on grounds
of temporary insanity, and generally
with the approval of the populace
Yet who, in their hearts, do not con.
lsIder such verdfcts benevolent frauds
ON the good sense ofthe eomnaunity
Whynot attribute all crime and ;niqui
ity to a diseased state of the mind? i
would seem that no man would eommi
a. gross crime or a gross error, while
governed by well-balanced intellect
And yet these crimes and errdfs are O
constant occurrence, and their perpe
traitors are as often men of intelligence
as otherwise. When those who know
ingly do wrong are more numerous
than those who err through ignoranct
and blindness, it viii not do to shield
suicide or any other crime under 6
mantle of charity. There are, nc
doubt, innumerabie instances where
men destroy their own and the lives, O
Others, under the promptings of an I'M
natural impulse which can scarcely be
accounted for. 1t is also true that q
! disposition to suicide is sometimes in.
herited.s Men often lose their reason
by oyertasking the brain, and kill
themselves in the Wild frenzy that fol
lows as was the case with Hugh Mil
Ter, the great geologist. But far the
greater number of tragedies of this de
scriptioa originate in foolish despair
] that no brave man should yield to LIN
trivial misfortunes that would soon be
forgpttenifborne with proper fortitude
Suicide is generally preluded by {
moody dependency, which could be
edispelled by resolute effort, but
which becomes more and more. over
powering the longer the victim indulg
es it. Therefore, he who gives it full
sway when he might successfully re-
sist it., must be held morally RESPONSE
BILE forllthe consequences. He Is 4
cFiminal in the sight Of Heaven.
