How TO Plant the Potato.

Plant never less than six inches deep,
better seven in sandy soil never less than
seven or seven and half The reason is
this, and it will show how many points it
will cover: 1t will put the crop beyond
the hurtful influences of the heat and the
drought it will bury the seed SO that the
frost cannot reach it, early as it is put into
the ground; and if it should reach it,
being buried so deeply, it will draw out
gradually, which will save it. It is as we'll
here, the seed is, as in the cellar, and may
better sprOut here than in the cellar. 1t
will thus show above the ground in due
time, when the frOsts have disappeared
and the growing season sets in. The soil
being we'll drained-an indispensable
thing-the rest will not hurt. There being
a good mellow soil, with humus Vegetable
matter) charging it, it will be compare
lively dry and warm. This will save the
seed, providing always it is sound other
wise, affected with rot, it will be lost.
The distance of planting apart must de-
pend upon the sort that is planted. A
spreading spreading in the hill
must have moore room. Thus, we plant
the Peach Blows farther apart than the
Early Rose. The latter will put its tubers
close together, a nest of them, and the hills
can be put close together, say twelve to
fourteen inches, or drop the seed "a single
eye or two continuously eight inches
apart, the rows as near together as will
permit with the cultivator, the nearer the
better for the close growing roots. By
thus planting, as will be seen, rather close,
there will be no Overgrown, and, conse-
quently, coarse, and itmay be, hollow po-
tatoes. Neither will there be necessarily
many small ones, especially with some
sorts, of which the Early Rose is beauti-
full example. The size will be medium,
large enOugh-just the thing for cooking !;
and there will be improved quality-a
thing, We need not say, of no secondary
Importance.
Select such seeds for planting, as is
wanted to be grown, of the BEST the finest
qualities all round, and divide into as
many eyes as it pleases-a few eyes only
in hilI.-COr. Prairie Farmer.

LINING FRUIT TREEs.-The periodical
lining of fruit trees is generally consider
ed serviceable, especially in keeping down
the ravages of insects which find their
homes in the assures of the bark. 1t is
also important that the operation should
be likewise extended to the main branches.
For the purpose in question whitewash
has generally been used, causing decided
whiteness of the tree, which is objected to
by many persons on the score of unsightly
appearance and the readiness with which
the lime becomes detached. It has been
shown, however, that the same beneficial
effect results from the use of colOrless lime
water, which.every one knows how to pre-
pare with unslacked lime, and which,
when settled and become clear,
can be poured off and used as
above indicated. In this way repeated
applications can be made without iniuring
the appearance of the tree.

CURING CONNECTICUT ToBACCo.-A
Connecticut tobacco grower, i'll the course
of letter to Virginian, writes:
When tobacco was first beginning to
be cultivated i'll this vicinity, man of
this town, [ am creditably Informed, was
cutting his tobacco when a Virginia gen.
tleman was passing, and his practice was
so different from that of the Virginian's
that the latter left his carriage, entered the
field to instruct the workman, saying, and
enforcing the explanation by example with
a pOcket-knife, I'VE split down our plant
stalks, and then cut them they cure bet
ter etc. Our people never split the
stem, but hang without; we find that the
tobacco weighs better, where we hang
without splitting the stem. We also find
it better to cut and house before it is fully
ripe than to wait till dead ripe"

How Soon We Forget.

A leaf torn from the tree By a rugged
gale, and borne away to some desert spot
to perish. Who misses it from it's fellows.
Who is sad that it is gone? Thus
it is with human life.
There are dear friends, perhaps, who
are stricken with grief when a loved one
is taken, and for many days the grave is
1watered with tears and anguish. But by
andby the crystal fount is drawn dry the
last drop oozes out, The stern gate Of
forgetfulncss folds back upon the e1-
hausted springs, anil time, the blessed
healer Of sorrow, walks over the sepul-
chro without waking single echo in
his footsteps.

Encourage YOar Mechanics.

DO not send abroad for help, If you have
work to do, when it can be done in your
own town. Encourage your " honest,
industrious, faithful mechanics. They
need all the work they can GET. by such
u course, you keep money at home, assist
the worthy, and have just as good work
performed. 1t is the only way to make
your town ~prospor-to support your own
schools, churches and rr0ss. Where there
is a disposition 10 send a hundred miles
for articles that, to say the least, could
be manufactured az we'll at your " door,
there will always be little or no business
done in that place. The churches will be
tbinly attended and all kinds 81 labor ex-
tremeIy dull, Whenever mechanics are
the best employed, prosperity is seen; the
social virtues predominant: and kindly
b~rotherly feeling is experienced, which is
the source Of unspeaka5lo happiness.
Whatever you have to be done, look
around and see if your own mechanics
cannot do it. If you have house to build
or a shoe to tap, a saddle to be made, tin
4 to mend, a house to paint or . pack
of cards to print, just look shoug your
home folks before you send abroad, and
if there is nono in your town capable of
doing the task, it will be time enough to
look elsewhere. 1t is a wrong idea to
think nothing is scryiceablc that is made
at home. We knoT of many an instance
where men have refused to purchase work
made by their ueighbor, and sent to a dis
tant city for sho articles they needed, and
paid 4 third more Cor them, when behold,
they have been manufactured and sent
away to sell by the very n~cighbOrs Of
whom they refused to purchase.
Let the motto of all be, [ will oncour-

be encouraged also. A mutual feeling Of
good will and kindness will spring up in

here at present. Although the season was late

The season promises to hold up longer than
usual. The young ladies now are a little in

they succeed m to their entire satisfaction. =.
Among the number of young ladies present
are some of the finest musicians that have ever
been at White Cliff.
1t was the boast Of ore Of the jacksonville

meeting was breaking up, when the
chairman said he had a very important

restored to hear this rather novel "rcli-
gious notice.

The keen Snnday-Schoo Union mis-

had a very important notice to give cut.

They arc branded, by a holy God, as
