Shade as. the Potato Bu0.

We are the owners of a small farm,
exclusive of the ground covered by the
buildings, not exceeding half an acre in
extent. A portion Of this half acre,
next to the house and shaded by locust
trees, we planted last spring in early
rose potatoes. The potatoes matured
and were raised IN July without ever
having been visited by q single potato
bug that we ever saw or heard tell of,
and we examined them daily during the
"bug season." Our chickens visited tho
"field" daily, and whether they destroy
ed the bugs as fast as they came, or the
shade and trees prevented their coming,
we are unable to determine. We are in
clined TO the opinion, however, that it
was the shade, as other bugs of which
chickens are very fond were in abund-
ance on the potatoes and other adjacent
crops. These are circumstances attend
ing our successful culture of the potato
crop last year. We have faith enough
to replant the same ground this year
without the chickens as protectors and
chronicle the result Of our new expert
ence in season. The farmers of Hartford
are entitled to our experience of last
year. If it shall prove useful to any we
will be gratiaed; If not, no harm can re-
suit from the experiment.
We would be glad If some of our lar
ger farmers wonld test the apparent ad-
vantages here enumerated and report
the result, as there may be conditions
attached to our small farm, unknown
even to ourselves that may be absent in
larger ones.-Harford Democrat.

lnfelicity, a few weeks of despair and
but single instant of action ended
the career Of the groom, and blasted
forever the hopes of the bride. A
corpse and an empty phial told the tale
OF the hero of this sad reality. The
heroine now sheltered beneath the pa
teroal roof, doubtless often looks ou,
upon the ripping waves of the Cbcsa-
peake to see in their bright surface a

nuptial day. The hammer of the auc.

And burst the cannon's roar:
The meteor OF the ocean air

Her deck once red with heroes blood
Where dwelt the vanquished foe,
When winds were hurrying DER the food,
And waves were white below
No more shall feel the victor's tread,
Or know the conquered knee
The harpies OF the shore shall pluck
The eagle OF the sea!
