An Experiment in Planting.

Last spring one my ncighbors concluded
to try any experiment in planting corn and
potatoes, which he conducted as follows: He
prepared the ground in the usual manner and
marked rows each way, rather closer than
usual about three feet each way). Then COM
mencing on one side of the piece of ground
IAN acre or two), he planted two rows of Early
Rose potatoes, then two rows of corn, etc.
alternating between corn and potatoes.
There are several advantages of this plan
The potatoes complete their growth and may
be dug before the corn occupies the ground tC
any extent. Also, the corn has the full bcnc
fit of the sun and plenty room, while the
slight shade which the potatoes receive from
the corn when they are nearly ripe, is rather
beneficial than injurious.
The potatoes were cultivated and hood tho
same as the corn and were not hilled. They
produced an excellent crop, much more than
the same number of hills planted in the usua
manner, while the corn yielded eighty bush
els of ears TO each acre of ground; but as on
| " one-half the space should be charged to the
corn, it really produced one hundred and six
ty bushels to the acre occupied. Thus from
each acre of ground he obtained eighty bush
els of corn of the very best quality, and ;
good crop of potatoes, the exact amount o
which was unable to lcarn.-W W. EvnS

II am astonished," remarked Grandfath-
er Lickshingle, "at the number of people in
the world who imagine they fly higher and
cut wider swath than they really do. Why
L know of hundreds and hundreds who look
upon themselves as great North American
eagles, so to speak, whose home is high in
heaven, where the wide storms their banners
fling and the tempest clouds are driven. An

all my long years of experience never knew
one of these fellows who didn't, sooner or later
in pluming himself for flight, accidentally

wing, and find it nothing but q goose-qull."

Where many sheep are grazed with cat
tie, as they pick out the finest of the grasses
and clovers with their narrow noses, the cat
tie will not thrive so well. Sheep, however,
eat with impunity many weeds that cattle
dislike and avoid, such as the common but
tcrcup, golden rod and white daisy. Many
pastures grazed only with cattle are in spring
time perfectly yellow with butter cups, which
u few sheep mixed with the cattle would
keep down. Horses when kept in u pasture
to themselves are very unlevel grazers but
few kept in Il large cattle pasture will Craze
the rank places where cattle have left their
manure, and about places where the land has
been tramplcd. Both horses and sheep will
thrive much better when they are able to Sc

Mrs. Wilcox was present at the Generals

He babe them all adieu in the tenderest terms

outburst of grief was irrepressible The CON

the plantation, which the general had built to

vice over, came tlocking to the mansion as
his eyes were closing and added their bewail-

this mourutul event Mrs. w. encountered an
old servant in the kitchen who was sobbing
as though her heart would break. cole mis-

"and now ole massa's gone, dcy's all gone,

Valuable COIOring Wash for fences and
Outbuildings.

Tho following is a most excellent, cheap
and durable wash for wooden fences and out
buildings. 1t owes its durability chiefly to
the white vitrio, which hardens and fixes the
wash:
Take a barrel and slake one bushel of fresh
ly burnt lime in it, by covering the lime with
boiling water.
After it is slaked, add cold water enough
TO bring it to the consistency of good white
wash. Then dissolve in water and add one
pound of white vitriol (sulphate of zinc and
one quart of white salt,
To give the wash cream color, add one
half a pound of yellow ochre lin powder)-
To give it 4 fawn color, add II pound of yell
low ochrc and one-tourth of Il pound of
Indian red
To make the wash a handsome gray stone
color, add one half u pound of French blue
and one-fourth pound of Indian red a drab
will be made by adding one-half pound
burnt sienna and one-fourh pound Venetian
red.
For brick or stone, instead of one bushel of
lime, use half bushel of lime and half bush
ell of hydraulic cement.

THE DowNHEARTED MAN.-About ten
o'clock the other morning two men met on
Sixth street and began threatening and call
ing each other names. One finally called the
other liar, and the two were about to crap
pie when woman opened the door and
said:
"Gentlemen are you about to tight?'
ave are +" they answered together.
"Thcn have the kindness to wait a mo-
ment" she continued. MY poor husband
has been sick for weeks and weeks, and is
now just able to sit up. He is very down
hearted this morning, and if you'll only wait
till | can draw him up to the window, |
know he will feel very grateful to both of
you"
She disappeared in the house, and after one
look into each others faces the men smiled
shook hands, and departed together-Det,oit

Nor a PLEASANT WAY.-When one of
Pizanos warriors received an ugly wound
from an Omeguan spear, the Spanish leech
