FALL PL0WIHa FOR POTATOEs.


Ever since the period Of the sppes1-
ance of the potato-rot in this country,
farmers have been studying, more OK
loss closely, the potato crop, and ve
believe We speak within the bounds Of
truth in saying, that all who have had
the best opportunity to judge have Dc.
cided that the application Of mineral
mauures will give the best result, and
the use of strong horse or other fer
meutiog mauures, the poorest return.
Especially does this prove true in SEA.
sons when rot is most prevalent. In
New jersey tho green sand marl used
lavishly, supplies ali the mineral sle-
men.s. In other localities, where this
cannot be obtained, ashes, lime, plaster
and superphesphate Of lime are en-
oloyed with certainty, when properly
applied in sufficient quantities.
All strong soils yield = better crop
of potatoes when plowed, and COM
pletely pulverized 10 autumn, aud 70
suppose this to be mainly due to the
elimination of the mineral elements,
cosequeut on the communion of the
soil aud its exposure to atmospheric
Influences during the winter. In tho
sprisg the more thoroughly the ground
is again plowed, the better for the crop.

WINTER IN HOLLAND,

1De snow scenes 0f Holland are ia
millisr to amateurs Of pictures and en-
cravings. When the winter is cold
enough to seal up tho water aud stop

the people 60 on the loo which ev-
.erywhere abouuds, and give themselves
up IN enjoyment. Booths are erected ;
loo boats like great birds fly over the
misty white surface, with tho rumbling
noise Of = giant pheasant. Men, wo-
men, and children, on their long skates
-those Of the adult being two feet
loDg-s@arm IN every direction. The
popular custom Is to catch hands one
behind the other, and thus form lioe
of dozen whose unduIating movement
10 the distance, sharply defined on the
frosty ioe, looks like great black ser
pant. But the sk,lful skater who cuts
the outside edge does not join these
strings. The ordinary skater may be
said to be gregarious, while the expert
is solitary. Occasionally ono sees
mau, awkward and loutish afoot, traos-
formed BY the power Of skates into =
being Of some lightness and grace. The
best skaters excel in strais shforward
speed, but arc behind tho Americans

While I was on ono of the lakes On
American app cared on his short skates:
cut his name on the ioo, mads figures,
s~oop.d down under full speed and
came tosa sudden stop, spun around
like teetotum, jumped, and did va.
rious manoevsrs, which attracted a
crowd Of ono or two thousand specta-
tors, who looked on the performance
With wonder. They bad never seen
such = swift, agile, graceful skater.
Frequently half dozen youug men
and women take hold Of ., rod loug
enough to accommodate all, the best
skaters in front aud tho poorest in the
rear, and ekat in this way, the pole
