PHOSPHATES AND LEAF-MOLD
FOR POTATOES.

A practical farmer, writing to the
Rural NeaO Yorker, thinks that the
Peerless potato is the best of all fol-
quality. productiveness and freedom
from disease. Out Of a large list Of
other varieties planted many suffered
from rot. while not tuber of the Peer
less was affected. 1t is desirable for
the public. however, to know that it is
late potato, and desirable mainly for
fall harvesting and late fall or winter
keeping. The Early Rose still main
tains its notoriety as the best of the
early varieties.
This same cultivator experimental al
so with manures. He planted one quar-
ter of an acre in Peerless, with just one
bushel cut single eyes, two pieces in
each hill soil, light sandy loan, ma
nured with shovelful of yard manure
to four hills. One-half of the piece in
alternate rows, small tablespoonful of
superphosphate was put in each hill.
Before the last hoeing handful of un-
leached wood ashes was put on the hills
of the whole piece. The half on which
phosphate was put produced seventeen
bushels and ten pounds of large and five
bushels and fifty pounds of small pota.

RAISING RooTs FOR CATTLE.-I think
people do not pay attention enough to
raising roots for cattle, ard as l. have
had a little experience in that line, |
will give it for the benefit of your read
ers.
In 1871 purchased four ounces of
mangef wurzel beet seed and sowed it
on two square rods of ground, in drills
two feet apart, and tepoed with hoe !;
and in the fall | harvested from said
piece of ground, thirty bushels of beet,
sixty pounds to the bushel. The same
year | sowed about ighth of an acre
of carrots, from which | obtained about
forty-fve bushels.
In 1872 sowed three-eighths of an
acre to mangel wurzel, in drills three
feet apart, from which ! obtained l9l
bushels. | also sowed three-eighths Of
an acre of carrots, in drills two fee
apart, and obtained l25 bushels. Tht
carrots were more expensive in wedding
and digging, and returned less feed il
proportion to the amount of land sowr
than the mangel wurzel, but of little
better quality. | think mangel wurze
the cheapest food for cattle that can b,
grown, if we take the amount Of lant
used into consideration. Western Rawal

There came recently to the New York
post-ofice a letter, directed simply to
God" When opened it was found to
be evidently from little girl, and ran
thus: Dear God, we are very poor
My brother needs new coat very much.
Won't you please to send him one, and
then l shall worry no more about it. :"
The letter was put into the hands of
certain good ladies. They sent to the
town in Massachusetts, whence the letter
came. and found the case genuine.
Probably the little girls prayer has
been answered by this time.

There is a beautiful story in ancient
poetry. A great warrior, the hero of
Troy, clad in fierce armor, stretches out
his arms to embrace his child before he
goes to the field of battle The child is
afraid of the dazzling helmet and nod
ding crest, and stern, warlike aspect of
his father, and shrinks back in terror
and alarm. But there is loving, ten
der heart, beating within that panoply
of STEEL The father unbinds his glitter
ing helmet, lays aside his fierce armor,
and comes to his child with out stretch
ed arms and tender words of love. And
the child shrinks from him no longer,
but runs to his arms, pillows its head
upon his bosom and receives his parting
embrace and kiss. So men are afraid of
God when he appears in his majesty and
terribleness. They think of his omnip-
otence, his glory, the awfulness of his
throne, the terrors of his justice, and
shrink back from him. But as this
father laid aside his fierce armor and
came to his child in all the tenderness:
of paternal affection, so God wells hi;
glory and splendor and awfulness, and
reveals himself to his children in thu
sweetest aspect of love.

READ AN Hour A DAY.-There was a
lad, who, at fourteen, was apprenticed
to soap-dealer. One of his resolutions
was to read an hour day, or at least at
that rate, and he had an old silver watch
left him by his uncle, which he timed
his reading by. He stayed seven years
with his master, and it was said when
he was twenty one he knew as much as
the young squire did. Now, let us see
how much time he had to read in, in
that seven years, at the rate of one hour
day. 1t would be ,555 hours, which
at the rate of eight hours day, would
be equal to three hundred and ten days !;
equal to forty-fve weeks nearly years
reading. That time spent in treasuring
up useful knowledge would pile up a
very large store. 1t is surely worth try
ing for See what you can do. Begin
now. In after years you will look back
upon tn task as the most pleasant and
profitable you ever performed.

this separation, coagulation. or ''curd-

hitherto been found to accomplish this
so perfectly as the prepared stomach of
the calf. The several steps are as fol-
lows: The stomachs, fresh from the
hands of the butcher, are cleaned and
sailed, and then closely packed in a
deep earthen vessel. In this state they
should lie for several months. A few
weeks previous to use they are taken out
and drained Of all brine. and then spread
out, sprinkled with salt, and dried. A
couple of pieces, say four or five square
inches, of these are stepped in pint of
warm water, in which has been dissolved
half tablespoonful of salt. Let this
stand over night, and the result will be
quantity Of rennet sufficient for 100
gallons of milk.
Another method, on larger scale, is
to procure large jar, the larger the
better, in the bottom of which carefully
drill three-q quarter or half-inch hole.
In this hole fit large wooden tap, to
be used in draining off the liquor. Next

A BLACK HERMIT.

On Sunday morning last about 9
o'clock, some parties who We're travelling
over the Welsh mountains, short dis.
lance from Morgantown, in this county.
found the dead body Of character we'll
known in that section by the name of
"Black Ike, upon the floor of his cab
in, in which he had lived all alone for
period of over fifty years. Life had
been extinct apparently for some time,
and the body lay stretched upon the
rude floor of his hut, the face having the
appearance as if the old hermit had died
in great agony. The history of this old
man, who lived isolated upon the mount
aims for so long time, must remain
mystery, as nobody in that section knows
from whence the hermit came or any,
thing concerning any relatives he may
have had either alive or dead. and the
manner of his deaf hat this writing is
also mystery.
The black hermit was in the neigh
borhood of seventy years Of age. and
came to Morgantown about sixty years
ago. He never stated to any one from
whence he had come, but the general
supposition is that Ike had escaped from
Southern slavery in some manner, work
ed himself North, and found his way to
! the beautiful valley of the Conestoga.
There he worked among the farmers for
some time. until he became tired of CIV
ilized life, and before he was twenty
years of age he took himself to the
mountains, built himself hut out of
rough slabs, bark, and clay, and there
passed the remainder of his years in sol
itude He learned matchmaking, and
in this manner gained a livelihood.
There is not farm house in the lower
section of the county but what has a
hickory basket in its possession made by
this hermit. He was frugal, and was
known far and wide as an honest and in
offensive character. He would come
down from the mountains only at night,
for the purpose of selling his baskets
and procuring necessary supplies at the
Morgantown store. He has been seen
many miles from home at midnight
prowling about the country, but was
never known or suspected of stealing.
Upon many occasions when the country
was still. about the middle of the night,
the people residing in the valley could
hear the notes of the hermit's violin
sounding way up at his cabin. Ike was
short, thick set hump-backed man,
very black, and had peculiar laugh
: Through the long and severe winters he
e remained upon the mountains, and the
question as to how he lived was very

r section. But when spring came the ole

"WORKERS TOGETHER"

Plato said, .'Vice can never know it.

itself and vice." And wiser than
Plato said 1.-THE natural man receiveth
not the things of the Spirit of God, for
they are foolishness unto him; neither
can he know them, because they are
spiritually discerned."
This fact should both humble and en-
courage those who impart Scriptural in
struction. When with long patience we
have planted, and watered, and waited,
and yet seen no fruit, perhaps not even
the tiniest blade spring up to reward
our faith and labor of love, we should
remember that the buried seed is no
more than buried stone, without Gods
voice to raise it from the dead. Our la
Dor and sweat over the soil, our most
scientific cultivation of it, avail no more
for the harvest than the furrowing of
the waves by the wind, unless all the
means and conditions be charged with
the fructifying purpose of the Almighty.
Souls may be taught entreated, warned ;
our prayers may be poured out like wa
ter; love may lead US to countless sacri-
fees; and our scholars still see no beau
ty in Christ that they should desire him.
Spiritual perception comes from God,
not from US. knowledge cannot renew
the heart. The termination of better
life begins not in Bible or commentary,
in reference or illustration, in human
kindness or wise management but in the
Holy Spirits mysterious power. Let
us, therefore, not boast before God
But in these same facts, we have cause
for rejoicing in hope. Gods will to
save is not arbitrary and capricious. He
who endows the senseless clod with his
blessing, that it may spring into life
and beauty, has also just as fixed u pur-
pose to endue dead souls with vital pow.
err When we find scholars insensible
to our appeals, we should recollect that
God does not know any difference be-
tween easy and difficult, and that he
grinds up the hardest rocks to make fer
tile soil. He seeth not as man seeth
Beyond our sight the work which w
think standing still may be already in
augurated. The eyes of the natura
man, blind in sin, may be opened an,
day by the merest touch Of Emanuel
God with us. Hardness of heart ant
contempt for Gods Word and command
ments signify nothing as obstacles t

Mr.. Beecher says that when one Of
his Norway spruces died from the rude
handling of last winter, he did not root
it up or throw it away, but let the
woodbine take possession of it; and it
grew up rapidly through all the branch
es of the tree and covered its top with
leaves. And in the autumn these leaves
were all changed to brilliant crimson !;
and the tree in its own life had never
been half so beautiful as it was when
covered by this vine, clad with all the
colors of the setting sun. So faith lets
self die while God covers the soul in
new and glorious beauty. infinitely sur

Potato SEED.-John Drake, Barbour
vile, N. Y, writes: In reading The
Times Of April l6, | see there are con-
ficting opinions in regard to planting
small potatoes. Some thirty-four or
thirty five years ago. when boy, hear
ing the subject discussed, in regard to
large and small seed, | concluded to try
an experiment. | therefore selected of
the largest size enough to plant one row
of about hundred hills in length, put
one in hill whole, and drove a stake
at the end. | then selected of the small
kind about the size of hens egg, and
put two in hill. They were planted
side by side, were accurately measured
in half bushel. The average was one
bushel from twelve hills of the large
seed, and one do" from seventeen Of
the small. Those from the large seed
were nearly all large and merchantable,
while those of the small were variable in
size and something like the parent stock.
[ have tried the experiment several
times since, with about the same result
A fair crop can be raised from small
seeds providing the soil is rich and a ia
vorable season to grow, as it takes more
time for small seed to mature. WLe1
potatoes are scarce [ would prefer t,
plant the eyes of the large than to plan
small ones. Every farmer should know
that the laws of nature teach that tn
best selection of all crops should be pre-
ferred for seed.

A writer relates the following: 'Not

acres, which has yielded heavy crop of
hay for over sixty successive years, new
er having been plowed. 1t has occa-
sionally been lightly MANFRED, but owes
its success almost entirely to an annual
irrigation. The soil was originally a
sort of gravel bed, deposited by two
streams flowing through the inclosure,
but by means of dam across one of
them, built before 1912, it has been ir-
rigated, and never fails of a good crop
of hay. Harris was born on the farm.
