HARVESTING POTATOES.

My experience in raising a small crop
OF potatoes, less than one hundred
bushels annually for twenty-five years,
has convinced me that early digging is
the best and the safest practice. By
early digging. ! mean very soon after
the crop is ripe, which is determined
by the absence OF life or greenness from
the tubers We gather our corn, oats,
rye aud other crops when ripe. What
reason can be offered for permitting the
potato crop to lie in the ground until
there is danger from frost, or even a
single week after maturity. There can
be no Improvement in quality. certain

dead, and all sources Of nutrition cut

deteriofa,e in quality according TO cir,

The wire worm, in land where this
pest abounds, will take advantage OF
late harvesting, aud bore into the
tubers an inch or more, iBjuring the
crop materially. Several years ago

Total ABSTINENCE SAVING VINE TILL II
RIPFNS.

There is curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertised nova
days and have only recently been put upon
the market. DR.. Undcrhill, the well-known
grape-grower Of Croton Point, died in 1871.
Some Of his heirs entertained temperance
views OF such extreme kind. that they were
unwilling 20 allow the stock Of wines then on
hand TO be sold or any more TO be made.
The grapes have sometimes been sent TO
market and sometimes left 20 decay upon
the vines II is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for settlement
of the estate and the sale Of the wines ON
hand. Among these is wine Of the vintage
of 1864, described as Sweet Union Port,
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any other European wine, and being
wholly unlike any other wine OF American
growth Its purity. age and mellowness are
remarkable and both physicians and vine
fanciers have q special interest in II as the
oldest native wine now accessible in any con-
siderable quantity. The whole stocks in the
