Cutting Seed Potatoes.
fFrom the Ohio Farmer. !

ICrOm Jne OnlO Farmer.I
AT least one-half of the labor of cutting
potatoes may he saved by using a common
tin apple-quarterer, which any timer will
make for thirty cents. Set the quarterer
permanently on thick piece of plank six
inches square, SO that the edges of the
pillow will be uppermost. In cutting into
quarters only, place the eye end of the po-
tatO centre of the quarterer, and push the
potato down so as to cut through the stem
of the potato this will give each piece an
equal share of eyes. If smaller pieces are
desired cut as nearly through as possible
and have the quarters hold together, and
then draw up the potato and cut across the
quarters on one side of the wings of the
quarterer into eight, twelve, sixteen, or
more pieces, as wanted the pieces toward
the stem end being cut the largest.
In cutting potatoes worth from one to
twenty dollars per pound, and where from
three to five peCks only are used to seed an
acre, we cut potatoes into quarters or
eighths Iengthwise, and then subdivide
the eyes into from two to eight pieces, Civ
ing each eye as nearly as possible an equal
share of the potato. These very small
pieces seem to produce as we'll as large
ones, if the ground is not too dry while
they are starting. Three to five bushels
of seed per acre is plenty.

But it is worth bearing in mind that
there is very considerable difference in
woods of the same species, according to
the manner and the soil on which they
grow. A maple that grows slowly Oh an
upland pasture, standing alone or apart
from other trees, will last much longer and
give out a greater degree of heat than one
that grows in swamp or in the midst of
dense forest. A tree that grows in for
est on a wet, rich ground will be less solid
and less durable for fuel, and consequently
less valuable, than tree of the same kind
that grows on dryer and poorer soil. For
sale, to be sure, one would be just as good
as the other. TO the purchaser oak is oak,
and pine is pine, but for home, the tree
grown on dry upland and standing apart
from others is worth great deal more.

The TRADE OF SOUTH AMERICA.-In
connection with the proposed increase of
subsidy to the Pacific Mail steamers we
hear great deal of the immense import
ance of the Asiatic trade. We hear great
deal less, however, Ofa trade which has al
ready been improved and developed by
the line of steamers running to Brazil. In
1870 our imports from China and Japan
were some SIS, ZOO, 900 in value, and our ex-
ports were some $1,000, 900. To Brazil and
the Rio Plata we sent about IS, OO0, 600 and
received thence over $31 100000.

RIVER NEws.-The river was rising
slowly last evening, with six feet four
inches in the channel. At Pittsburgh
it is falling, with four feet SIX inches in
the channel.
The river was pretty well tilted with
floating ice Yesterday, From its ap-
pearance we think it shore ice, though,
perhaps, some of the little gorges be-
tween this point and Pittsburgh have
broken.
The Andes, Captain Charley Muhle-
mans new boat, will be here 10 leave
on Tuesday, it now seems pretty GER
tain. The Andes is one OF the largest
and most comfortable stern.wheelers on
the river. She is of about 100000 tons
capacity, we are informed. Big enough,
al all events for the trade.
The Courier, Captain Jack Harrison,
will leave for Parkersburg at half-past
ten o'clock this morning, 1t is I'M
necessary to tell our readers that the
Courier is a splendid boat, and that
Captain Jack and all his officers are
splendid fellows.
The fine steamer Katie has changed
hands and gotten into a streak OF bad
luck. In the United States District
Court at New Orleans, she was libeled
by the Franklin Insurance Company,
OF Wheeling, West Virginia, for SGO1. 90;
the Firemens for $40; The Independ-
ent for 260; the Union for $350.I5; the
Commercial for 5l2.20, and the Ohio
Valley for $3.50, all Of the latter
being Cincinnati companies. The
libels were all instituted on promissory
notes, given in payment OF premiums
for insurance effected on tbs Katie.
She was finally sold to Mr.. Miles Owen,
of Memphis, for the sum Of $l2j, 900
$7j 1000 in cash, and the balance on one
year paper.

\ SAD FALLING OCT.-lt is indeed

the lamentable separation may be east

CIRCUIT CoURT.-There was moth ing
of interest before the Circuit Court yes,
terday. To day the now famous Yoke
Wharton goat case comes on again
for trial. As near as we understand 1t,
this case is as follows: Yoke owned a
goat of some local celebrity as a jump
ist. 1t got into Wharton's field and
did some damage. Yoke was notified
that he must keep his goat at home or
it would be killed. The next time it
was found on Whartons premises it
came to a sudden and violent end.
Yoke brought suit to recover the
value of the goat. We do not know
what the quotations in the goat market
were at the time. but probably its value
would not exceed five dollars. We
heard one witness cay the goat WASH
worth - well, say button.
The jury decided the case in Whar-
tons favor, thus putting something over
500 costs on Yoke, who again
brought suit to recover the costs from
Wharton. Again the decision was
against him, and the goat by this time
had cost something like $500. A new
trial was asked for and granted, and to-
day another jury will try to get at the
butt end Of that goat. The prospect is
that nearly, if not quite $1,000 will be
expended in lawyers fees and court
costs before the goat shall be forever
buried.

Welded BLISS.

Just one month had Dora been married to
me,
When the dear little puss came and sat on
my knee,
With the cunningest "peepers" that ever
were seen,
Whispered, "Hubbie, must have sewing
machine"
OF course consented; what new husband
wouldn't?
II lit cost me thousand, deny her couldn't.
So asked my pet blandly what kind she'd
have bought.
And suggested Howe, before thought.
"Oh, Dickey, how can you ?" she said with
apout;
"Why, it's noisy and slow; won't have it
about!
And for goodness don't mention that hard
running Singer!
(She said 1t so cross, you ought to have seen
herr
Nor a Wheeler Wilson, 1t sews good
one minute,
But the next thing you know the old Harry
gets in 1t!
Now, Dick, when went with mother to the
Fair,
saw such duck; oh, the sweetest thing
there!
Twas a spirit. twas an eli, twas fairy in
carnate
With speed" Here l interrupted her
"Oh, darn It,,
What's it's name, Love-" "Why, Dickey
It's the Weed"-Family Favorite.

George Smith was taken in off Of

couldn't walk as fast or as straight as
Weston, but he could walk twice as
wide. 81 an1 costs or ten days was the
verdict.

The HOME CIRcLE.-That there is no
place like home, every man who has a
heart to revere the memory Of his father
or to love the image OF his mother, as
his thoughts fly back to his younger
days, must admit, If that father and
mother had made the home a place
where all his fond recollections should
be garnered. Home! What recollec-
tons of happiest hours crowd upon us
as we write the word! 1t was with US
a place to love. Everything that could be
to make it attractive was done. How
we'll we remember the little musical
soirees when one child sang yankee
Doodle" and the other "Old Hundred,
and third tried 70 pump "Old Dan.
Tucker" out OF wheezy ACCORDION
without the least idea that the dear old
father and mother would be at all dis
turbed by the racket. To be sure, it
was noisy, but it made the children
happy, and that was sufficient compen-
sation for every discomfort to them.
Our advice to parents is, make your
homes happy ones. Make them so
attractive for your children that they
will not Took for pleasure elsewhere.
One favorite recreation is parlor
dancing. Children are very fond OF
prancing around ito the lacivlous pleas
ing of a lutte" What can be more
charming than to see large family OF
children thus engaged in innocent pas
time, the mother saving away on the
fiddle; the eldest daughter throwing her
cleft duke at the basso portion OF the
riano, and grabbing whole handsiul of
little squeeky notes from the upper keys
with her right pile driver, while the old
man circulates briskly to and fro through
the happy throns with a club in one
hand and butter paddle in the other,
giving variety and zest to the exercises
and keeping things warm. If there is a
heaven for unmarried men they should
seek it mid such scenes as these.
