Sweet Potatoes.

This is one Of our valuable esculents,
and properly taken care of, can be kept
the whole year in good condition, but, like
everything else that is valuable, it requires
some care and pains taking. Once attend
ed to, however, there is no trouble about
them. w remember once, when boy, to
have seen bank of them, in the spring of
the year, that had been put up the pre-
vious fall that was as sound and dry as
when put up. They were put up in the
following manner. A quantity of perfect
ly dry soil had been procured, and the po-
tatoes had been put up by putting in
layer potatoes and then layer of dry
soil, until large bank had been made;
the bank was then covered over with the
same kind of dry soil, some two or three
inches thick, sufficient to keep them from
freezing during the winter, and the bank
then covered with board shelter.
We also know of another instance of
planter that raises them in large quaint
ties, and keeps them the year round in the
following manner: He has a basement
room, or cellar, under his house, bricked
up and provided with proper ventilation.
In the fall he procures a sufficient quantity
OF common sand, which lie suns on a scat
fold until sufficiently dry. When he digs
his potatoes he puts them in his cellar,
but putting alternately layer of sand and
a layer of potatoes, until they are all put
away, after which he has no more trouble
with them. He informed us,however, thaton
one occasion he did not have quite enough
OF the dry sand to put up all he desired,
and hence used little sand with one lot
that was not quite dry, and in a short time
that lot of potatoes all rotted but he as
sured US that if the sand is entirely dry
they keep perfectly sound and good for an
indefinite length of time, and will all the
time be as dry, sound and mealy as they
were in the. depth of winter Southern

What will Make Hens Lay!

Put two or more quarts of water in a
kettle, add one large seed pepper, or two
small ones, then put the kettle over the
fire. When the water boils, stir in coarse
ground Indian meal, until you make a
thick mush. Let it cook an hour or more.
Feed hot. Horse-radish chopped fine and
stirred into the mush has been found to
have good results. -Four weeks ago we
commenced feeding our hens mush as pre-
pared in the above directions, and for re-
suits we are getting from five to ten eggs
per day whereas, previous to feeding we
had not had eggs for long time. We
hear great deal Of complaint from other
people about not getting eggs. To such
we would warmly recommend cooked food,
fed hot. Boiled apple skins, seasoned
with red peppers; or boiled potatoes sea-
soned with horse radish, are good for feed
much better than uncooked corn. Corn,
when fed to the hen by itself, has a ten
dency to fatten them instead of producing
the more profitable egg-laying. A spoon
full OF sulphur stirred with their feed oc-
casionally will rid them of vermin and
tone up their systems. 1t is especially good
for young chickens or turkeys. Out of a
flock of ten chickens-hatched the last of
November, we have lost but one. They
have been fed cooked feed mostly, and are
growing finely.-Ohio Farmer.

Mrs. Mills was asked the other dav
how she managed to get along so nicely
with Mr.. Milliss, and frankly replied:
ooh, feed him well. When woman
marries, her happiness for a little while
depends upon the state of her husbands
heart after that, it's pretty much accord
ing to the state of his stomach.
Miss Luck was pronounced the best
and most expeditions cook at the late Gin
cinnati Fair. The facts upon which the
award was made were as follows: In
thirty minutes Miss Luck cooked, and
cooked well, potatoes, chicken, porter
house steak, tomatoes and corn, and made
coffee, tea, pie and biscuit, and set the
table in the neatest style.

A FOUNTAIN OF DEATH.-On Mellow
Ridge, in this county, about four miles
from Jacktown, and on the farm belong
ing to Henry Miller, there is what is call
ed the gas spring. This is probably the
greatest curiosity in Pennsylvania. The
water is cold but bubbles and foams as if
boiling, but the greatest wonder is the in
evitable destruction of life produced by
inhaling the gas. No living thing is to be
found within circuit of 100 yards of the
spring. The very birds, if they happen to
fly over it, drop dead. We experimental

A Good Guardian.

A few years previous to the great fire in
Boston man in the grocery business in
that city was appointed guardian of three
orphan girls, whose father had left for their
support tenement house in one of the
courts leading out of Pearl Street.
When he got the control Of the property
the house was uninsured, its value small,
and the income triiling. He had it insur-
ed, and made some improvements, which
increased the income. Soon the fire came
and consumed it with the other buildings
in that vicinity. He got the insurance
money after little delay, invested it where
it rapidly increased, and the land being
wanted for two or three dollars foot moro
than other land brought alongside of it
The proceed Of this sale he also invested,
and when, little while ago, he made a
settlement with the Probate Court, it was
found that the legacy left to the children,
now Of age, had more than quadrupled.-
The Judge complimented him for his good
management, and said he richly deserved
the per centage which the law allows in
such cases. The gentleman thanked the
court, but said he worked for reward
greater than any human law could allow,
and declined to accept any compensation

The reputation it has attained, in
consequence of the marvellous cures 1t
has produced during the last half CEN
fury. is a sufficient assurance to the
public that it will continue to realize
the happicSt results that can be desired.
In almost every section Of country
there are persons, publicly known, who
have been restored from alarming ana
even desperate diseases Of the lungs,
by its use. All who have tried 1t ac-
knowledge its superiority; and where
its virtues are known, no one heSitateS
rs to what medicine to employ to re-
Iicvc the distress and suffering peculiar
to pulmonary affections. CHERRY Pee
TOEAT always affords instant relief, and
performs rapid cures of the milder va
rictics of bronchial disorder, rs well as
the more formidable diseases of the
lungs.
As a safeguard to children, amid
the distressing diseases which bcsct

is invaluable; for, by its timely use,

This medicine gains friends at
every trial, as the cures it is constantly
producing are too remarkable TO be
forgotten. No family should be with

it never will.
Eminent Physicians throughout the
country prescribe it, and Clcrgymer
