Keeping Potatoes and Roots over
Winter,

The Potatoes and roots which may be
required for the family and for stock
feeding while the ground may be frozen.
must, OF course, be sto. ed where they
will be accessible. either in a house. barn
or out door cellar. The latter NAV be
cheaply constructed, especially where a
sidehill is convenient. by digging out a
pit, erecting rdgepole over the centre to
sustain the root, using plank or slabs for
rafters, and covering, first with sod. and
then with earth.
But to keep the vegetable over 10
spring, to be used then, the better way is
to bury them in pits A dry, slightly ele-
waited location should be selected and Il
long narrow pit dug about two feet in
depth. This pit should be filed and
heaped up with the vegetables. In cover
ing we should aim to keep out both frost
and water, so that the vegetables may
come out both dry and sound, in the
spring, Although not absolutely neces-
sary, it is desirable to cover potatoes at
least, first with straw, and il the straw
can be so laid as to turn off the water
which may soak through the earth, so
much the better
Until there is danger OF hard freezing it
is not advisable to coyer very deep with
earth as it may keep the vegetables too
warm, but the exterior should be COM
pacted and smoothed with the back al the
shovel, 50 that it viii she'd the water
which falls upon it. Before winter closes
in for good, the earth should be heaped
upon the pits, without stint Better cover
foot deeper than necessary, than to cover
just q little too shallow, and permit the
frost to enter
When frost once enters pit OF pota-
toes, it makes bad work with them. You
may think that the outer layer. only, is
effected, and that by rejecting them the
others will be all right, but if you take
them to market, YOU will be surprised to
tind that many potatoes, in your load,
show that they have been visited bv frost,
and that buyers decline 10 take them at
any price Frost has curious habit of
penetrating pile of potatoes and selecting
here and there one. perhaps the more
watery ones, to leave lis Impression The
better way to do is to cover so deep As to

Mulmured, through parted lips, God help

Left her alone: and in her vacant place
The twilight stole with soft and noiseless feet.
He passed away through dewy garden paths,
Flooded with waves OF moonlight, W eird and

-And mystic scent of leaf-veed lilac bloom
Waiting its incense 10 the soul Of night
Between the setting and the rising SUM-
AdrifT her spirit wandered till the day
Woke the new story OF life begun
Out OF the grave of one that slipped away.
A twilight life, of gentle thought and deed
Of selfish purpose and reliant PRAYER;
A spirit moving in the misty light
OF springtide perfume on the evening air.
Standing alone, her life was doubly blest
BY this dead love, and love of sorrow born ;
Till tender death sang all her soul to rest,
And merged spring twilight in the summer

The details of the accidental shooting of
Capt Bourne, Of the Brooklyn police by
John c Pollock. reporter Of the Brooklyn
Argus, reveal another sad instance @; the
careless use Of firearms Pollock had 0b-
tanned small cartridge from the pistol
with which Van Brunt killed MoSher, and
in his enthusiasm exhibited it to the Cap
tain, who noticed that il was the same size
ball that his pocket pistol carried lie
pulled from his pocket 4 silverplated D,r
ringer and while Pollock held it in hl7
hands admitting it he raised the hammer
and snapped it without aim, supposing
that il Was not loaded Capt Bourne threw
up his arms, tumbied over on the floor,
and with quick jerk Of his body from head
to foot luy dead, shot through the heart
Pollock was terrified beyond description,
and cried, My God. I've killed him" An
officer went to Capt Bourne's house and
broke the news to his wife. She was yet
in mourning for the infant child which she
had buried week before. ald when she
heard OF the additional sorrow she could
scarcely bear up under il Capt Bourne
was an exceedingly popular officer. He
had the police jurisdiction CT Plymouth

About three miles south of Carmel VII

land, about four hundred acres. {. A
Simpson, who is an excellent practical
farmer, now lives on the farm, who with
the aid OF three sons, who are iust the tel-
lows tor farm work is preparing to make
it one of the most valuable farms in he
country. The hay crop this season was
about ninety tons, and the stock which
will be Wintered consists of twenty-onc
head Of cattle, four horses (not counting
the mule) one hundred and thirty five
sheep and 4 lot of hogs. One piece Of
ploughed land put in condition for crop
next season, measures over twenty five
acres, and other pieces on the farm
measure ten acres making in all thirty
five acres which he will have in crop next
season. Mr.. Simpson informs us, that the
hay capacity of the land already cleared
when properly seeded down, will be about
two hundred tons. The first clearing made
on the land was eight Years ago, but the

FRUIT Alone LINE FENCES. The Court
Of Appeals of New ork State has 81 recent.
ly decided that man has no right TO the
fruit growing upon branches overhano;no Tng
his land where the trunk Of the tree stands
wholly upon the iand ct his neighbor But
the law regards the oyerhanging branches
as nuisance, and they may be removed
as such, or the owner of the land shaded
may remove them, if he is careful not to
commit any wanton or unnecessary de-
struction in SO doing. Where the trunk of
tree stands on the line, they have Joint
ownership in the tree and fruit, and neither
one has the right to remove it without the
consent of the other. This question, which
has been the source Of much litigation and
many personal quarrels, is now finally set
tied by the Court of last resort, ard inter
ested parties can now know their rights,
and also their remedies, in all such cases
as may arise in the future.

A TRAIT OF THE PRESENT ACE Within
the present centuary there has been
throughout the world q marked det0ria-
ton in the quality of ordinary plain work
Not TO speak of the extent TO which the
adulteration of foods a1d fabrics goes on.
one must recognize tendency towards
slight and fimsy fabrication, toward paint
and gloss as the cover for what is intrinsic
ally Of little worth; in this respect it is Ger
tain that the world has gone backward.
Something Of insubstantial and tictcious
in the product of labor has become a
trait of the present age; there is an ex-
penditure of industry to make things look
better than they are, and sell for more
than they are really worth Of which it is
more self-deception TO say that the like
and to the like extent has been seen in all
ages.
Carlyle took young friend to sec two
houses in his neighborhood, the one two

bricks at the corners Of the former were
still sharp as when they left the mould.
and the mortar was hard and smooth. like
polished rock; the new house scarcely
had corners, the brick was 50 worn away,
while the mortar was crumbling and could
be picked out with the finger. There are
in London miles Of neW-built houses that

to favor the process 1t requires the tenant

it in part, and may mean rebuilding entire
Ot the latter example: A London carpen-
ter hired house OF bishop, and one day
it literally tumbled down over his head
Luckily escaping alive, he wrote to the
bishop, and acquainted him with TIE event,
supposng that the latter would, Of course,
hasten to build the house anew No answer
was retulned, and he wrote again, saying
Il am paying house rent, with no house
will your lordship please attend to the
matter at once? ?n The bishop now re-
piled, and the response was, 'lt the house
has fallen down, you are to rebuild It, not
|. Please do so promptly, and see that
the work is properly done" The astonisf-
ed carpenter took legal advice, found that
the law indeed required this Of him, and
had to expand the earnings Of his lite to

mands. I'd. A. WATSON, in North Ameri-
