its yield of intermittent fevers, bilious at

of violets, snowdrOps and cherry blossoms.

Seed Potatoes.

80 rrat 6
= It's the practice of tho majority
of potato growers to use for seed
that portion of their crop which is
too small for marketing, and the
effect of.this when long continued,
on the yield, healthfulness and quail
ity of the crop, Is a question worthy
OF careful consideration. In seIec-
tion ofseed the potato crop has Sre4
ceiYed differeut treatment from any
Of our standard crops. As a rule
farmers use the best of their grain
to SOW; they are careful to procure
that which is plump and fully ma
tured but the seed potatoes arc
those which are too small for mar
ket, and which, from the manner of
growth, necessarily are not as fully
ripe, and devoid Of that perfection
which exists In the larger tubes
There Is another factto be consid-
cred, which is that no one Of our
standard farm crops has had SO
many varieties deteriorate, run out
md discarded, as the potato,@ III we
could not originate new varieties
/ every few years, having a larger
stocks of native vigor,a the demand
for this ar icle offood could not be
met. Is THE deterioration the re-
suit Of the practice, of using the
small pc atoes for seed?
The only way to definitely answer
this question: is by long continued
experim ent. The varieties which
have even partially deteriorated are
not proper subject for such trial,
but rather some of the newer ones
which are yet in their full yigor.
AS private persons are not likely
to undertake and carry out such an
experiment, Its importance should
commend It to the Il agrieul-
tural school where experim rental
/ grounds are maintained. Take the
Early Rose, for instance or Har-
Fisons or Peerless, and plant one
4 plot with seed selected from the
most perfect tubers, aud aBother
with that Of the small-sized one S.
Propagate from the same stocks,
and at the end of ten or twenty
years the question whether small
potatoes are as good for seed as
the larger and Iipers might. be in
telligently answered. Experim ents
seem to show that potato seed is
tsure to germinate when 1T contains
the least percentage IF starch-a
condition attaching to irnnature tu-
bers, or those grown on new land,
or that which Is wet and cool. rs -

Leather ClotlI FabrIes.
The manufalcafgIlIre ct ARTIFICIAL {

The manufactrIrs Of artificial or
leather cloth, has now become of
much importance abroad, and some
valuable improvements have been
made in the production, and also in
the duality and usefulness Of the
fabrics. Il is claimed that while
this article possesses al the quail
ties Of heather in great strength and
,dprablhty, it has. special advantages
of It's own, such as complete imper=
meability to water, a fexibility and
sottness equal to a woollen fabric,
and great eheaphes5 compared with
real leather.
The material used n-this manu-
facture varies according to the Kind
of imitation leather thatis desired,
Thus, for ealf-slzin, a very thick
soft kind of cotton fabric. Is used; ;
fHe calico or linen is used, for wa
terproof material-the product be-
ing as waterproof as india-rubber
itselG and alpaca, silk, clo,h, or
commonyeotten for boots. and shoes
boekblRdiRgs, harness, carriage
furniture, and al the well
known purposes to which real leath-
er is applied. The pigment used
accomplishes theuobiee5 In a few
hours, and is capable IF being tint
ed to any shade that may be want
ed. Of green, red, bros n, black, blue,
yellow etc, according to the use in
ylaKV- &C. ..s....a. *
The fabric to be converted into
leather, whatever it nay be, and of
any length or width, is merely
wound on rollers, beneath broad
knife-bIade, which by its weight
presses in and equally distributes
the pigment previously placed upon
it. "A hundred yards may thus be
done IN a single minute, and In
this most simple apRlieation the
whole manufacture begins and ends,
except that three coats of the pig
ment are necessary to perfect the
leather, and an interval Of twenty
four hours must elapse between the
applications of each. -

A Masonic Story.

Twe-meA had been fast friends
In an evil hour they auarreled,

One of them became Mason after

that the other remained ignorant OF

admitted to the Lodge. Almost
the first voice he heard, and certain
ly the first face he SAW was that of
his enemy, who presided over the
ceremonies of Initiation, and was
obliged, according to usage, 60 .Ad-
dress. him. as ''brother." This was
o peculiar situation, and. a severe,
ordeal for 10th. After the lodge
was closed, the Apprentice sought
the Master, and without any pre-
limina11es, the following eolloquy
ensued, commenced by the nsWlg.

The Cost Of Poor stock. /, mar

Probably few farmers think of
what it costs to keep a poor COW or
land-pike pig. They readily under
stand that good COW, or hog that
will dress 200 lbs. at ten months
old, is profitable stock to keep, hut
the fact that this gain is really the
amount of loss on the poor stock, is
rarely considered. IF q COW yields
200 lbs. of butter In a year, which
brings $50, another yields IS lbs,
which brings $22. so the loss on the
poor COW is lust $3.50. The fact
is it would be more profitable op-
GRAFTON 10 give her away than to
to keep her, for she does not pay
for her feed. The dairy b usines of
this country is not on satisfactory
footing by any means, and solely
on the account of the multitude of
poor COWS, which should be looked
after by the County Agricultural
Societies. Every one of these as
sociations should introduce i'm
proved stock, by means of thor
oughbred male animals, into their
localities. 1t is a good work to ele-
val ethe ideas Of farmers and to fos-
ter a fast e or improvements, but to
the great majority of their clients the
possession of such stock, sor-t the use
of'it, is quite unattainable, on ac-
count OF want of the necessary
means. BY making this special
branch of their operations, the use-
fulness CT these soci1 lies, would be
much increaced,l and thor iupors
lance greatly enhanced.-Amerlcagl
