PLANTING POTATOES.

DIR. Hexamer, of New York, as re-
suit of an experiment. of planting the po-
tato in seventeen different ways, found
that the best results were given from
one large potato, whole, in each hill !;
the next best from two large half pota-
toes, cut lengthwise; next the seed end
of large potato next from medium
sized potato, planted whole the smallest
half potatoes A medium potato he
planted whole large ones he cut in half;
and the largest in four pieces, each
lcngthwlse, always taking care to select
his best and soundest potatoes for seed
J. t. Warder, of Ohio, in IN expert
ment with Harrisons, found that large
seed cut in halves gives the most salable
potatoes. He says: This experiment
in connection with one made last year,
would induce me to cut good salable
sized potatoes for seed in preference to
plaating Their, whole; and in years of
scarcity to use small potatoes, with care
not to plant them too closely together. y
Professor Daniels, of the Wisconsin
Agricultural College, in an experiment,
found that cut seed gave more from the
same weight of seed, except where small
potatoes were used, than whole ones

ADVICE TO THE GIRLS.

We have charity for fast girls. We
have often found them generous and
warmhearted. and are fully ready to be-
ieve that their disregard of convention
alities is often the boldness of innocence.
For example, in some families the cham
Der OF the sister is the resort of the
brother in the first place then the cou-
sin, who is almost brother and then
the brothers intimate friend, who is
treated as one of the family. When
this free style of living is transferred
from the shadow of the family, to the
apartments of a crowded hotel or board
ing house, it gives occasion for much
free speaking and free thinking-for a
style of judgement that of does the young
girl great injustice. We have said that
our Americans have their faults. The
want of conventional limits of propriety
between the sexes il one of them. The
young French girl is kept secluded and
never suffered to see a gentleman un-
watched. In America, from earliest
childhood, little girls and boys grow up
together-and on the whole it is best
they should. But in order that this
liberty should produce good effects, pa
rents and guardians should ince ssently
teach certain limits of propriety. There
are certain places, times and modes, of
intercourse that are proper places, times
and modes. There are certain other
places, times and modes. that are i'm
proper, and it ought to be part of the
early training of every girl to teach her
this. Every approach on the part of
20 ing girl to any personal familiarity
with any young man, such as she might
most innocentiy take with another girl,
exposer her to DEMONSTRATION which it
was the duty of her mother to prevent
by timely warning. A favorite author
has said that such personal advances, on
the part of women, were ''immoralities
of manner" even when the ic.ension
was innocent. So girls take care-re-
spect yourselves-respect your sex, and
do not give the enemy cause to speak
reproachfully. Listen all ofyou to what
a man says. 1t is out of SEINE old-fash-
toned Fathers Legacy, or some such
antiquated book. He says: "a fine
woman has power over US of which she
little dreams, but a little too near &c
quaintance often dissolves the allusion
and converts the angel to an ordinary
girl. Let a mother tell you. girls, that
mothers, when they send their boys into
the great world and its temptations, hope
much for them from the influence of
good women. Did you ever think of
this when you tell young men that you
dote on smoking; when you urge wine
upon them at parties? Some mother,
some sister, may wish that you would
lead her son or brother to nobler, purer
conceptions of life. Ought not some high
er motive to govern your intercourse
with the young men Of your acquaint-
ance than merely the desire to fasten
their admiration on yourself-to please
them at any and every hazard? Be sure
that a young man who is pleased
through his lower nature, because you
encourage lis indolent and self.ndulgent
habits, end take part with his least ele-
waited impulses, will think of you by and
by only as a part of something unworthy,
which his better self will seek to out

Their value is by no means apprecia.

are waking up to their necessity and

APenalty for InsufficIent Postage

Uncle Sam, who should be an accom-
modatins public servant, is getting to
be very exactins and unpleasantly arbi-
trary in some of his rules. If he keeps
on, it will soon be necessary for each
person to take lawyer along to advise
concerning every little transaction that
he engages in.
Under the amended postoffice law,
new and more stringent regulations have
been adopted to secure the full prepay
ment of postage. Where this is not
done, double the required amount is to
be collected of the person receiving the
letter. For instance, if letter requires
two stamps, THAT is, weighs one half an
ounce) and but one is put on, the per
sen receiving it will be required to pay
six cents, if three stamps are required.
and two are left off, he will have to pay
twelve cents, and so on. The rule is
already being enforced.
| We consider this an unreasonable
rule, as everybody cannot carry pail
Of scales in their pockets, and very few
can guess exactly the weight of letter
in fractions of ounces. This new rule
is of piece with that stupid one re
