About Digging Potatoes.

In harvesting potatoes, different plans
are observed by different persons. By
some they are dug quite early-as soon
as the tops are partially decayed and
Immediately taken to the cellar. BY
others they are left until there is danger
of the freezing of the ground.
In our youth we assisted in digging
from 800 to 700 bushels of potatoes an
nually, and the practice was to throw
them into basket as fast as they We're
dug, and from the basket into the cart.
When the cart was full, they were inn
mediately taken to the cellar. These po-
tatoes, of various kinds, were usually eX-
cellent in quality, being mealy, and of
agreeable flavor. They were grown on
new ground, which would partially ac-
count for their good quality.
Which Is the more appropriate time
to lift them, early or late
In looking over Professor Goadby's
work on Vegetable and Animal Physiol-
Ogy, we find table which may throw
light on the above question. He says
that it was found by experiment that
240 pounds of potatoes left in the ground

I'll tell you what I'll do. Sally shan
marry the beggar; I'll follow them to
Squire Jones, and get there before the
ceremony.
With this he hurriedly hitched up a
horse, and spun away to Squire Jones
house about five miles distant.
The other important scene mentioned
was at the Smith residence, and was
opened by the precipitate entrance of
Mrs. Smith with the breathless exclama-
ton:
Has he gone?
Who? inquired Mr.. Smith.
John?
Yes, and Mr.. Smith rubbed his hands
with glee He went all of half An hour
ago.

screamed the lady, but harness up the
old mare Just as quick as you can, and
follow them. The Browns amt worth
a dollar in the world Mrs Robinson
just told me so-and a mortgage on their
farm going to be foreclosed. So Sally
won't get solitary cent. ....
Smith hurried the old mare into her
harness, and ratified away toward Squire
Jones residence.
John and Sally had proceeded leisure
ly about four miles, the former driving
with one arm, and holding Sally on the
seat with the other, when they heard
the sound of wheels a short distance in
the rear. They had just passed long
bend in the road, and looking across they
saw, revealed by the moonlight, the pur-
suing Brown.
Why that's pa exclaimed Sally.
Yes, and he means mischief, I'll bet,
said John.
What shall we do? squealed Sally.
I'll show you, said John.
Jumping from the wagon, he removed
a long rail from the fence and placed it
across the roadway. Then he drove on
at q gait that made the horses steam like
a boiler.
Brown came on at furious rate, on
ly to be summarily checked by the rail
The horse jumped the rail, but the front
wheels of the wagon collapsed under the
collision. Brown was thrown out, and
the frightened horse ran off with the
wreck Of the wagon.
Just az Brown was picking himself
up he saw the accident repeated in this

A VIsrT TO HEAyEN-On the 18th of
August, Mrs. Gardner, wife of a farmer
living near Eastmanville, Ottawa coun-
ty, died under circumstances the most
extraordinary. Two of her sisters were
dead, one but recently, only a few weeks
ago The cause of Mrs. Gardner death
was a congestive chill, and after she had
been considered dead for six hours, and
was being prepared for the grave, she
returned to consciousness, and talked
freely with her attendants. She stated
to those around her that she had been to
the better land; and had seen both of
her departed sisters with other friends;
that 1t was a most beautiful land-be-
yond all description. She said she had
permission to return to tell living friends
of what she had seen, but that she was
anxious to again return. She passed
away soon after making her statement,
and seemingly overlooking with Joy and
happiness. There can be no question as
to the circumstances above related

Dear Sir-Ihave been badly afflicted with
Kidney complaint for ten wears. have suf-
fered great pain in my back hips and side
with great difficulty in passing urine,
which was often and in small quantities.
frequently accompanied with blood and
circulating pain.
I have faithfully tried most of the pOpu-
lar remedies recommended for my COM
plant. | have been the treatment of some
of the most skilful physicians in Boston,
all of whom pronounced my case incura-
BILE. This was my condition when l was
first dose took. and from that moment |
kept on improving until I was entirely
cured, taking, in ALL should think, about
six bottles.
1t is indeed valuable medicine, and if
l should be afflicted again in the same
way, I would give a dollar for dose if
could not get it without.

such a farm. when he thinks Of the
