STARTING EARLY PoTAToEs.-A cores
pendent Of the Cottage Gardener says "To
have few early potatoes, have fonnd the fol-
lowing system answer well: l plant my potato
sets In pots, say about five or six inches in d.
ameter the soil use Is pure, turfy, maiden
loan and charred earth with little SCOT. Being
in pots they can be started wherever there
Is little heat. While they are coming on In
the pots, leaves and little manure are put up
in o round heap to ferment, then put into a pit
or frame after the bed Is in fit condition of
heat, the surface is covered eight inches deep
with half-rotten leaves. When the heat is up
the pots may be plunged M this material, and
the plants kept In the same pots until the young
tubers are the size of large peas or small marbles
This can easily be ascertained by turning them
out Of the pots. 1 consider the chief advantage
derivable from this system is that as they are
confined in the pots, only limited supply Of
nutriment is offered, which causes the plants to
tuber much sooner than would otherwise be the
case. Whenever l find that the young potatoes
are as large as have stated Immediately take
off the top soil the pots were plunged in. i'll
find the heat is deficient add little new warm
manure to the inside of the bed and turn it over
Then having had some good, dry, tnfy SOIL ind
charred or burnt earth, with mixture of "A lit
tie SCOT, the bed is covered over TO the depth o.
fourteen or fifteen inches the potato plant, AZ,
next turned carefully out Of their pots and plant
| ed In furrow in rows in the new soil at ar II
has attained the natural warmth of the bed.
| i never use any manure, but little soil i
put on the drills after the plants are established
| BY keeping them near the glass and well airc'
at every favorable opportunity, good crop o
fine natural favored potatoes will be obtained

THE FIVE KNAvES.

AN ORIENTAL TALE BY JOHN o. SANE
Once on a time, in Indostan,
thief conceived cunning plan
$50 potent is the voice OF Hope)
To save his throttle from the rope,
Though now the day was drawing nigh
when he by law was doomed to die.
He babe the jailor tell the King
He fain would show wondrous thing
A precious secret, fairly worth
The ear of any prince on earth.
And now the culprit, being led
Into the royal presence, saidi
"This golden coin which here you see,
Ii planted, will become atree.
Whose fruit-increased an hundred-fuld
Will be, like this, the pnrest gold.
pray your majesty 20 try
If this be true before die"
With this the King and courtiers went
Into the garden with intent
To plant the curious coin of gold.
But now, when all was ready, "Hold,
Exclaimed the thief, ''this hand of mine
Would surely spoil our whole design
The hand that plants the gold must be
elise all is naughty entirely tree
From stain of fraud: and so pray
Your gracious majesty will lay
The seed in earth Portsmouth sooth,'
The King replied, "for in my youth
pilfered from my sire, some stain,
For all my sorrow, may remain;
NY good prime minister is here;
His hand, no doubt, is wholly clear
OF any faint" NAY, he replied,
"That's more than can well decide;
As tax-receiver-now-lm may
Have Kept trifle So pray
To be excused for prudence sake,
And let our commissary take
The coin in hand. Sure that were best,
For no, no doubt, can stand the test
"Faith" said the commissary, 81
Would rather not. 1 can't deny
Ny good intent; but since pay
Large sums of money every day
For soldiers, sailors and herd
OF spies--I wouldn't give my word
have not kept a small amount
Not entered in my book-accouut
Since an crror-e'en the least
Would spoil the charm, play let the priest
Proceed to plant the coin Of gold"
NAY, that fear would be DER bold;
Despite my prayers and pious zeal"
Replied his reverence, 81 deal
In tithes and sacritcial dues;
Aud so beg you will excuse
My sharing in work like this,
Where nothing must he done amiss.
Faith" said the thief, ''since no man here
CAS- we have leariled) is wholly clear
OF knaysh tricks, | ask you whether
We should not all be hung together
The monarch, laughing, made reply
"Why, yes, ifevery rogue must die;
Well, since we five are knaves confessed,
pardon you-and spare the rest.'
