Potato Experiments.

II. L., of Grant county, Ind, writes to
the Cincinnati Gazette:
"Planted April 10th, 1874; variety, Early
Rose; dug and gathered them partly in
September and partly in October; planted
alternately; that is two rows of large pota-
toes taken promiscuously, ofwhat would
call merchantable potatoes then two rows
OF small potatoes, all under the merchanta-
BILE size, down to rs small as were worth
picking up.
Il find the result TO be in favor of the
large to the extent of about two hills in
fifty in merchantable potatoes but even
this quantity is made up in bulk of small.
In quality there was merely perceivable
difference in favor Of the large seed plant
cd.
"But between choice selected seed, large
and smooth, and small seed, find in the
product much greater difference in favor
OF the selected, the difference being fully
one-fifth in bulk Understandable potatoes,
and the quality very plainly better.
I'm preparing tho seed all was cut, as
near as practicable, to two eyes to tie piece,
and two pieces to the hill, the hills being
about three feet apart. The whole patch
was planted on old ground.
Just for an experiment dropped three
pieces each in few hills, but the result
was i'll favor of two pieces.
"On piece of new ground, all planted
with small seed, raised as handsome po-
tatoes as need be but they were not all so !;
many OF them were rough or knotty."

4 Couple of Useful Hints.

Very often a screw hole gets so worn that
the screw will not stay in. Where glue is
handy the regular carpenter makes the
hole larger and CLUES in large plug, max
ing nest for an entirely new hole. But
this is not always the case, and people
without tools and in an emergency, have
to fix the thing ut once. Generally leath-
er is used, but this is so hard that it does
not hold well. The best of all things is to
cut narrow strips of cork, and fill the hole
completely. Then force the screw in. This
will make as tight job as if driven into
an entirely new hole.
Another hint of q similar character may
be useful. One often desires to put
staple into block of stone. The hole is
made, the staple inserted, and lead melted
and run in. But unless the hole is made
with the bottom larger than the top, the
lead will in time work out ifthere is much
jar or side strain on the iron. Besides, the
lead itselfis liable to some compression,
which admits of looseness, especially after
being subjected to very hot fires. A much
better article is sulphur. If this be melted
and poured in around the staple instead of
lead, it makes a much more durable Job.
besides, it is often more easy to procure
sulphur than lead, as every store keeps it
that deals in general variety.-AmeTican

Mating.

AS the summer is approaching, and the
time of mating draws near, it may be well
to call the attention of housekeepers to the
fact, that, as there is right way of doing
everything, there is decidedly q right way
to put down Canton mating. 1t is the
almost universal practice to put it down
wrong. Most persons cut the lengths, and
then, laying the breadths in their proper
places on the floor, proceed to drive vast
number of tacks up and down the edges.
This method serves the purpose of keep
ing the covering very tightly on the floor,
but it Injuries the boards, and ruins the
mating. Every tack breaks one straw,
and perhaps more.
These Canton mattings are made on
boats, where they are woven in short pieces
about two yards long. These short pieces
are afterwards joined together on the shore
in lengths of about forty yards. 1t is easy
to see where these two-yard pieces are
joined, and the first thing to be done, after
the mating is cut into the proper lengths,
is to sew these places across and across on
the wrong side to keep the joints from
opening. Then sew the breadths together,
and tack it to the floor in the same way
that you treat q carpet. Mattings made
in this way will last fully twice as long as
where they are tackled in every breadth.
A good mating should last six Or seven
years. Home anil Society; tScri6ner 70,

Horses Interfering.

In one Of the numbers of your valuable
journal some weeks ago, the question was
asked how to keep horse from interfering.
Many different kinds of shoes are adver.
tiscd to cure the evil, but no shoe ever in.
vented will prevent horse from interior
ing. In nine cases out of ten, unless the
horse is very badly shod, it is with the
hoof and not with the shoe that he strikes.
OF course, nail protruding in the slight
est degree where it is riveted will cut the
fetlock of the other leg q scab forms which
is rubbed off, and so on until the horse
regularly interferes, because the spot keeps
swelling. Take the shoe off horse that
interieres and drive him, and you will al
most invariably find blood on the hoof of
the foot which strikes. Interfering is
generally the result of weakness. 1t is also
brought on by fatigue. A horse will some
times not interfere at all until towards the
end of long journey. A long rest is one
OF the surest cures. An ordinary shoe, the
same as on any other foot, more oats, and
less work. are also often found to be salts
factory remedies, unless the horse is q
weed, and then nothing can prevent the
evil, as it is his i'll hap which causes the
interfering.

Keep thy heart wound up,

Keep thy heart wound up,
Let each and every part

That Christ is in your heart.
Keep thy heart wound up,
That the Spirits power may move
Your soul higher and higher,
Where all is peace and love.
Keep thy heart wound up.
For the moments are tlecting by,
And soon we will pass away,
To be adJudged by Him on high.
Keep thy heart wound up,
Ever looking TO God above,
Who is willing and even ready
To fill our souls with love.
Keep thy heart woundup
That the souls vibrating chord,
May bring you higher still
To Heaven and your Lord.
Keep thy heart wound up,
That when the last beat is made,
Your soul will be in Paradise,
The debt will then be paid.
Keep thy heart wound up,
And your soul will never be
In danger of an awful hell,

HAY TEA FOR CALvEs.-A farmer who
had a calf of value and no milk to give it
was advised to give it hay tea. He did SO
and the calf is reported as doing finely
though it has received neither hay nor
meal since he got it. He cuts the best and
finest hay he has, about 2 inches long and
pours boiling water over it; lets its stand
till cooled to about the heat of milk from
the COW, when the tea is given to the calf
and the hay to the COW. Both calf and
COW thrive on this feed We have fed
great deal of hay tea to calves, with good
results.-Rural Ne,o Yorker.
