Potato Planting.

G. E. Goodrich of Utica, N. Y, man
widely known as an experimenter with pota-
toes, says: sIf you want good crop of pota-
to stalks, plant potato with five or six eyes
on it, but if you want good tubers plant set
with one eye." Another well-known cult
vator says, If quantity only is desired, it is
better to plant several eyes in hill, but, if
quality is sought, one is better.

SOMEBODY'S MOTHER.

The woman was old and ragged and gray,
And bent with the chill of winter day;
The streets were white with recent snow,
Aud the woman's feet with age were slow;
Al the crowded crossing she waited long,
Jostlcd aside by the careless throng
OF human beings who passed her by,
Inhrcding the glance of her anxious eye.
Down the street, with laughter and shout
Glad in the freedom Of school let out"
Come happy boys, like a flock of sheep,
Hailing the snow piled white and deep,
Past the woman so old and gray,
llastenrd the children on their way.
None offered helping hand to her,
SO weak and timid, afraid to stir,
Lest the carriage wheels or the horses fee,
Should trainple her down in the slippery
street.
At last comes out of the merry troupe
The gaycst boy of all the group.
He paused beside her and whispered low,
I'll help you across if you wish to go"
Her aged hand on his strong young arm
She placed. and 50, without hurt or harm,
He guided the trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were firm and strong.
Then back again Ia his friends he went,
His young heart happy and well content.
"She's somebody's mother, boys, YOU know
For all she's aged, poor and slow;
And some one some time may lcud a hand
To help my mothcr-you undcrstaudi
If EVER shes poor and old and gray
And her own dear boy is far away"
Somebody's mother" bowed low her head
In her home that night. and the prayer sh,
said
Was: Good be kind To that noble boy.
Who il somebody's son and pride and joy.
Faint was the voice and worn and weak
But heaven lists when its chosen speak,
Angels caught the taltcring word
Aud somebody's mothers" prayer wa,
heard.
