The way to grow Potatoes.

a correspondent of the Prairie
Farmer writes
An experience and observation oil
nearly thirty years satisfies me that q
single sprout or plant in a hill is the
proper method 10 grow large, mer-
charitable potatoes. and that all 9TH
ers should be pulled out. In growing
high-priced new potatoes, if sprouted
as sweet potatoes are, and the sprouts
carefully taken off. number of shoots
will come from the same eye. OF
course, this does not pay in ordinary
culture, but too few sprouts are far
better than too many. One goOd-siZed
potato is far more valuable than 900
small ones, and the way to produce
them Is TO give all the room in the hill
they need to develop. Cut your seed
to single eye, and plant one in a

The Hot Season."
By OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

By OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES
At last two Fahrenheit's blew up,
And killed two children small,
And one barometer shot dead
A tutor with its ball.
Now all day long the locust sang
Among the lesfless trees
Three new hotels warped inside out
The pumps could only wheeze;
And ripe old wine. that twenty years
Had cobwebbed DER in vain,
Came spouting through the rotten
corks
Like July's best champagne.
Plump men of mornings ordered
tights.
But, ere the scOrching moons,
Their candle-moulds had grown as
loose
AS Cossack pantaloons
The dogs ran mad-men could not try
II water they would choose
A horse fell dead-he only left
Four red hot, rusty shoes
And all about the ware house steps
Where angry men in droyes,
Crashing and splintering through the
doors
To smash the patent stoves
