AUGUSTA.

Augusta knows that Water street
In Furniture makes all complete;
DoLLlvER e. PIsHoN there do stand
And scatter joys with liberal hand
The housewife knows she need not roam
Beyond their place to bless her home,
Each room that by them is supplied
Can glory in exultant pride.
They manufacture and know well
That nothing but the best they sell;
Upholstering and Repairing too,
Prompt-slighting naught-they ever do
No wonder then that people flock
Unto their place to see their stock;
Their record shall remain eer sure,
For none excel in Furniture.
Their tasty shop with all supplied
Has we'll become Augusta's pride,
And people find their troubles DER
Whene'er they enter in their store.

Potatoes In Drills.

My method is--plow in the fall !; as early
in the spring as possible draw on barn
yard manure, twenty-five horse loads to
the acre, spreading from the wagon; har.
row well; then with a two-horse hoe
drill the land thirty inches apart; into
these drills drop the seed (cut some time
previous into two eyes to seD twelve
inches apart; cover the seed with the two
horse hoe, by splitting the ridges turned
up in making the drills, using no hand
labor unless the end of the drill comes up
to the fence. In that case the end of the
drill must be covered by hand for dis
lance equal 10 the length OF the team
should the potato patcf DC away from the
fence there will be ne necessity for using
any hand labor.
So much for the planting Now for the
process of cultivation Use one-horse
cultivator once week, as soon as the
potatoes appear above the ground, which
will be in about three weeks. Cultivate
as close as possible to them, removing
with hand hoe the weeds in the rows be
tween them. When large enough TO hoe
take two-horse hoe and hill up moder-
ately, not SO high as to cover the potatoes;
at the same time let man pass along the
rows and wherever they are covered lei
him remove the earth from them, and II
there are any weeds between the potatoes
in the rows clean them out also. This
does for the first hoeing. When they re-
quire q second hoeIng repeat the process,
this time bringing the earth well about
them. After this do not touch them again
till harvesting.

POlIteness as an Investment.

THE grievous error we fall into is, in
looking for direct instead of indirect com
pensation. When we declare that polite
ness costs nothing, we really understate.
Not only does IL cost nothing--it is
materially profitable in the long, some
times in the short run. Every one Of us
goes where he is well treated, and stays
away from where he Is i'll treated In a
great city competition in each branch Of
trade is necessarily active, and the trades
man or merchant who is courteous on
principle must soon discover that his
principle and interest are identical. What
man ever forgets the place or person
where or by whom he was afably received,
when there was no visible motive for such
reception? The poorest memory, the
least impossible nature, will retain so
much as that.
