OLD PoTAToEs-Potatoes to be good
should never be exposed to the light, but
be kept in as dark place as possible
After they begin to sprout in the spring
they should be taken up from the bins or
heaps and kept in boxes or barrels. If
you have few barrels saved out for fam
lily use, instead of picking them over and
turning them over and spreading them
every few weeks, put them into enough
barrels, so that you can turn from one to
another. Have one extra barrel, and
once every week turn them all out from
one barrel to another. This keeps them
moving so often that the sprouts cannot
grow enough to do much harm. The
sprouts which come out from the potato
use up the nourishment it contains, and
leave it soft, watery and insipid. By
treating them as proposed above they may
be kept in condition FOR the table several
weeks longer than by sprouting them,
and at the same time save deal of work.
The Democratic advocate., 1874-12-05

SAVING SEED Com The best plan,
as general thing, is to select the best
ears at the time Of husking, and spread
them on the barn floor, so that the cobs
can become thoroughly dry. The old
method of leaving the husks attachad to
ths corn, so that il could be braided to-
gether, and suspended in dry aud airy
place, brought about similar result In
all cases, the corn should be kept where
it win be free from dampnoss. Many, in
saving seed, are particular to select only
from stalks that produce two large, well
developed ears. As you say, corn is often
planted so deep that it win not germinate
quickly. If the soil is fine and dry at the
time Of planting, the planter viii be apt
to SOW deeper than it should.

CooKING Conn FOR HoGs.-It is claim
ed by some that thirty-three per cent. of
corn fed to hogs for the purpose of fatten-
ing may be saved by cooking it. We are
fully prepared to accept this estimate, but
now is q good time for some Of our readers
to test the question, to their own satisfac-
tion, at least. There are many who are
prepared to conduct such an experiment
intelligently, and we hope they will do SO,
reporting results, that we may give them

vsntion affords woman this opportunity
is in my view its chief value. Your
resolutions in themselves are useful, so
are all your efforts put forth in pursuit
Of their various objects; but the main
thing accomplished is the exhibition Of
the feeling of American women in pro-
test against their condition. There can
be no hatred between the sexes. There
can be no willing oppression of one by
the other. In order for woman's posi-
ton to be changed it is but necessary
that it shall be known that the self
respect of woman has grown with the
centuries, and that the subsection which
in an age of different sentiments was
agreeable to her, is no longer consistent
with her womanhoOd. ysympathies,
therefore, are heartily with the Conven-
ton and my gratitude with the noble
women whose fidelity and persistent
energy have made these conventions
possible. Very truly yours,

WIFE-CATHING.-Th marriage cere-
mony is performed curiously by the
Esauimaux. When boy kills polar
hear, it is considered sufficient proof of
his ability to maintain a family; he is
therefore told to go and catch a wife.
Watching his opportunity at night, he
pOunces on victim and attempts to
carry her off. She, however, struggles
and shrieks until she has collected
around her a group of sympathizers;;
She then turns upon her captor, and
bites and scratches him until he IS
obliged to release her, then she darts
into the crowd and attempts to escape.
The expectant bridegroom follows her,
but not unmoIested. All the old women
take scourges OF dried seal skin and flag
eIIate him numerically as he passes,
making at the same time every effort to
arrest him in his course. If, despite
these little impediments to matrimonial
bliss, he should catch his victim, the
biting and scratching scene is renewed,
and, in all probability, he is compelled
to release her, and the chase, with its
attendant discomforts, is resumed.
Should he overcome all obstacles, the
third capture proves effectual, and the
victim, ceasing her struggles, is led
away amid the acclamations and rejoic-
ings of the assembled multitude.
