Starting Early Potatoes.

A correspondent Of the Cottage

early potatoes l have found the

plant my potato sets in pots, sag
about five or six inches in diane
ter: the soil use is 4 pure, turfy.
maiden loan and charred earth
with, a little SCOT. Being in pots
they can be started wherever there
is 4 little heat. While they are
coming on in the pots. leaves and
q little manure are pat ur in 4
round heap to ferment, ther pat
into q pit or frame; after the bed
is in ft condition Of heat, the
surface is covered eight inches
deep with half rotten leaves.
When the heat is up the pots may
be plunged in this material, and
the plauts kept in the same pots
till the young tubers are the size
of large peas Or small marbles.
This can easily be ascertained by
turning them out Of the pots. l
consider the chief advantage deri-
vaole from this system is that as
they are confined in the pots, only
a limited supply Of nutrlnent is
afforded, which causes the plants
10 tuber much sooner than would
otherwise be the case. Whenever
l find that the young potatoes are
rs large rs | have stated | imme-
diately take off the top soil the
pots were plunged IN. If | find
the heat is deficient I add = little
new warm manure to the iuside Of
the bed and turn it over. Then
having had some good, dry, turfy
soil, and charred or burnt earth,
with a mixture Of a little SCOT, the
bed is covered over to the depth
OF fourteen or fifteen inches; the
potato plants are next turned care
fully out Of their pots and planted
in furrow in rows in the new
soil after it has attained the natu-
raj warmth of the bed.
| never use any manure, but q
little soil is put on the drills after
the plants are established. By
keeping them near the glass and
we'll aired at every favorable op-
portunlty, a good crop Of fine natu-
raj favored potatoes will be o.
tanned.

To EXterminate Ants.

THE \. Y World tells how housekeep-
ers can rid themselves Of red and black
ants. II says that one succeeded by fill
ing cups with water and placing them
under the sink and cupboard removing
all crumbs and everything they could eat
from the shelves, They all left Another
way is to wash the places they haunt
with strong alum-water and leave il stand
ing in vessel thereabouts Another
mode is 10 place fresh meat bone where
the ants can get at it, and they will flock
10 it in large numbers. When they are on
it dip it in hotwater, repeat it few times,
and the ants will have disappeared.
Another remedy is to boil four ounces of
quassia in a gallon Of water for ten min
utes, and add four ounces of soap. This
poured on their nest will destroy them.
This is intended to destroy a nest of black
ants when it is found. For red ants
another remedy that has proved success.
iul Is: Take six or seven drops of oxalic
acid and mix il with small teacupful OF
melted lard, and set this preparation
wherever the ants are troublesome, and
they will disappear in q short space Of
time. Carbolic acid applied with a swab
OF raw cotton on thin stick to the edge

Cheap lce-HOuses.

The following, contributed to the Coul-
try Gentleman, shows how ice-houses may
be constructed at a small cost:
My ce-house is a circular hole in the
ground, II feet in diameter and II feet
deep, dry-waled with brick the same as
well; the bottom is sandy, and has a foot
Of fine charcoal for the ice to rest ON:
charcoal is most desirable substance for
this purpose, as it lets the water through
easily, is indestructible, and a good non
conductor of heat. The ice is thrown in
without packing, and sawdust put on the
top at once, and as the ice recedes from
the brick the dust is pushed down at the
sides till the ice is completely enyelopcd
in it, and we have no difficulty in keeping
1t from one season TO another, and two
large families use it without stint. The
house is almost rootless. This is a cheap,
durable house, and has the merit of being
easily hlled, and requires no scatfolding
or extra men to help unload as those do
that are built entirely above ground.
Samuel l.. Allen, of Cinnaminson, n. Y,
constructed, last fall, an ice-house which
is novelty of its kind and remarkable
success. 1t is a crib 10 feet by 1917 in.
| side, and feet high, and set directly on
the surface of the ground; the posts are
| made of slabs and the sides are of
| the same, nailed on horizontally two or
! three inches apart. Cost of lumber, 81
| nails 50c labor done by farm hand.
| Five three-horse loads of ice filled it, In
| filling, one foot of sawdust was put in,
! then layer of ice one foot from the sides,
the edges packed and the middle broken
| up u little, and rs each layer was put in,
sawdust was filled in between ice and
| boards, and SO on till the crib was filled.
| The top was finished rounding, and cover.
ed with foot of sawdust, and pine
boughs on that to keep the wind from
blowing it away, and has had no roof of
any kind. The first of October there
! was still Is inches of ice left. In the
middle of one end, about one foot from
the boards, is a dumb waiter case 10
inches square and 10 feet high, inside of
which is a dumb waiter 2l5 feet long,
fitted up with shelves for meat butter
sc, and it has answered good purpose
From this experiment lie draws these con
illusions: THAT farmers ice-houSe
should contain q cylinder of ice 8 feet in
diameter and 10 to II feet in height; the
| ice should be closely surrounded with
| from 6 10 10 inches of SaNduSt, and cover
ed with q foot or two of the same; nc
roof, or one with the gables entirely open. 81
