Planting Potatoes.

Early last Spring ploWed piece
of ground two rods wide by nineteen
long; narrowed it fine; then took
two-horse ploE and ridged it up
something ike sweet potato ridges,
only fatter on top; then took hand
stake sharpened at one end, and
made holes by thrusting the stake
down into the ridge. The holes
were made about eighteen inches
apart, on alternate sides ofthe ridge.
A boy followed and dropped seed in
each hole; then We took 4 mixture
Of slaked lime and leached ashes,
equal parts, and put handful in
each hill, and covered lightly with
earth. They soon started to grow,
and as the plants began to appear
above ground we covered them with
straw about one foot deep. That
was all the work they got, except
going through them every morning
for two weeks and killing the bugs.
The weeds never got through the
STRAW during the summer. We be-

The man of the Nes0s thus de-
scribes q recent mishap: Old Mr.
Watson, on Nelson street, has got q
nice little bill to pay. He sent 3
man down town for @ pot Of paint
and ladder. The man got the paint
and then went to a lumber yard af-
ter q ladder. Then he tied the
paint pot on the end of the ladder,
and put the ladder on his shoulder.
This was very smart arrangement
and the man himself admired it very
much. He started for home tkis
very way, and didn't find any trou-
Bile in getting along the first block,
because people had an impression
that long ladder with q pot Of yel-
low paint dangling on the end Of it
wasn't exactly the thing to triae
with, so they balanced along on the
eurbstone, or rubbed up against the
buildings. Pretty soon the man
saw somebody in q store he knew,
and he turned around to speak to
him, and drove one end of the lad
der into q millinery case and knock
ed the crown out of an eighteen dol
lar bonnet. Then he backed of in
alright, and knocked down two sew
ing machine agents with the other
end. Then he started to turn
around, and an old gentleman, who
was desperately endeavoring to pull
| his wife out of danger, saw the peril
and shouted out, 'sHi, theref But
| it was too late. The pot struck
against an awning post, tipped to
one side, and the entire contents
went over the aged couple. This
so startled the man that he turned
completely around, smashing in an
entire store trout, frightning milk
mans team, and knocking over some
thirteen persons who were actively
dodging about to get out Of the way,
Then he dropped the ladder and
fed into the country, shouting mur-
der and fire st every jump. A reg
ularly ordained painter is now en-
gagged on Mr.. Watson's house.
