PUTTING AWAY PoTAToEs.-Every
method has been tried by farmers to store
and preserve their potatoes through the
winter and we may say until potatoes
come again. II is the most valuable of all
vegetables, though here and there we find
a person and writer who undertakes to
tell us of its EMBELLISHMENTS. 1t is
universally consumed in all civilized
countries. rs where it cannot be grown it
IS imported, which can be done long
distances without injury when ventilation
is attended to.
In storing potatoes several methods are
adopted, yet they are all practically the
same. the object being to protect them
against freezing, whether buried in pits
or stored in cellars. The first considera-
tion is TO keep them in perfect darkness
the next is, the bins should not be too
deep-not over three feet-to produce
warmth and cause them to sprout. When
stored in the field, straight trenches are
dug, say twenty feet in length and four OF
five feet wide, which are filled to the depth
OF three feet with potatoes, then well
covered with straw, on top of which put
eighteen or twenty inches of earth. In q
pit twenty feet long there should be about
three gas escapes or ventilating openings
which should be plugged with straw aut
covered with board set at an angle tc
turn the rain. If in cellars. barn OIL
otherwise, the bins should be covered witt
rugs, old carpetings or straw. Those
intended to be kept for late spring sale
should be frequently examined and al
sprouts removed; for as soon as potato
begins to sprout it looses its solidity
dryness and quality.-Germanto10n Tste

4 New Sheen Breeders, Association.

There has been for some time a grow
ing dissatisfaction in the Vermont Merino
sheep breeders association, arising chiefly
from the admission to its register of sheep
outside of Vermont; and in part from the
admission of sheep which ought not to
have been admitted. The trouble reached
action in meeting of those disaffected at
the Addison House in Middlebury August
18th, at which such sheep men as Colo Iel

lotte, S. G. Holyoke, St. Adams, Henry
Chamberlin, Grand Isle and many others
were present.
After pretty full canvass of the matter,
they took action in the formation of a
Vermont Atwood Merino sheep breeders
club" of which f. S. Stowell was chosen
president and Geo. Hammond secretary
The club propose to confine their member
ship strictly to Vermont.
The sheep business is on the flood tide
again. Quite recently on the west side
we heard of such prices as two thousand
dollars being offered and refused for sim
Gle buck, and fifteen hundred dollars paid
prices were by no means unfrequent.

FINE Wool SHEEP IN VERMONT
the New York Tribune of the 9Th inst,
find communication from the Hon.
George Geddes, Of New York, in which
he says: 1.-The present great production
of fine wool in the new states has destroyed
the business in the older states, by reduc-
ing prices below cost of production on our
high priced lands, with our costly fences
to be maintained | must say that
much regret TO learn that the raising oil
fine wool in the older states is destroyed.
There is, however, one consoling reflection
to the fine wool sheep breeders of YER
mont, which is, that the raising of fine
wool sheep is II prosperous business, and
that our sheep are now being sold to
supply the demand which comes from
nearly every state. from Maine to Texas.
Our lands are not Zoo dear for raising
them, neither are our fences too costly for
enclosing them, for they require the least
fence of any kind of stock. We do not,
neither have we, ever raised fine wool
sheep principally for their wool. Our
motto is not the greatest amount of wool
upon the smallest carcass, but rather the
greatest amount of wool upon large
carcass with good form and constitution.
do not think that the decline in the price
of fine wool of late years was caused
principally by the great production OF
wool in the new states, but rather by the
general depression of business, for, with
the increase and prosperity of business
comes IN increased demand for wool at
higher prices, while the production of fine
wool in the new states and territories has
not declined.-A. E. Perkins, Windsor
county, w., august, 25, 1879.

A NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. intent Of
our recent article on the education of
farmers, in which we quoted and gave
credit to the Record and Farmer for
certain statistical information, seems to
have been flissapprehended by the editor
of that journal. We certainly had no
thought of butting heads with our Brattle-
boro cotemporary, although we did find,
in the pleasant thrust of our friend link.
ham, ~ text which seemed to call for
little further explanation, concerning the
success of our Massachusetts and other
agricultural colleges. Our own feeling,
in the matter of an agricultural education,
is that very few have yet gone beyond the
line Of experiment in this direction, and
that the attempt to give farmers sons and
other mems sons an agricultural college
training should not be abandoned because,
thus far, all the boys, when they graduate,
do not Immediately become practical faT m
ers. we believe that sOeIl taught boy
not only knows something that is worth
knowing, but that he also knogs how to
do something that is worth doing. We
believe, too, that there is marked change
taking place in the public sentiment con-
corning what our youth should be taught
We see it not only in our colleges, but in
our common schools. The ability TO do
is getting to be considered fully equal to
the knowing, and we are much inclined to
believe that in an equal number of boys
educated at our agricultural colleges and
at the old popular literary colleges, those
from the former will be quite as likely
to make their mark in the world as will
the latter. We aggree with our cotempo-
rary fully when he says that "what our
future farmers need is n better training at
home, which shall give them thirst for
more knowledge upon all the subjects
connected with farm life; common schools,
where not only arithmetic, geography,
and history are taught but natural science
in some form adapted to the capacities and
wants of the pupils; and higher schools,
where any who choose can study chemis-
try, natural philosophy, botany and kin
dred sciences. instead of Greek, Latin and
the higher mathematics. Beyond these,
they need all the helps they can obtain
from books, agricultural papers, farmers
clubs and oranges. If, with these helps,
there can be aroused growing enthusi-
asm in the business and desire for
excellence in whatever. branch is under
taken as speciality; if, moreover, the
young farmers of the land shall determine
to place themselves at least on n level
with other callings in respect to general
intelligence and ability TO write and speak
on subjects with which they are familiar,
we may expect the next generation of
farmers TO be more intelligent, cheerful,
influential and prosperous than is the
generation now on the stage of action -

AcpIrIrI TIrRAI EAIRc The

AGRICULTURAL FAIRs.-The season of
state and county exhibitions is now at its
height, and it is evident to the most casual
observer that greater interest is now
manifested in agriculture and kindred arts
than has occurred before during many
years. Agriculture has saved the nation
from financial disaster; it has provided
our people with IN economical subsistence !;
it has supplied the railroads with business
and millions of our citizens with employ
ment. We should be pleased to give a
detailed account of all these farmers
gatherings, notably the great state fairs
which have occurred within the past ten
days in New York, Vermont, Maine and
New Hampshire, but since within the
limits of the sections of the country
through which the Culivator circulates
upwards of $50 fairs were announced for
the season, it is plain TO be seen that the
details must be left to the local press to
chronicle. We welcome, however, any
agency which shall elevate, improve and
render more attractive to the masses of
people, the noble art of husbandry.-

OLD AGE.-It is not wise for men when
they feel the approaches of old age to be-
gin to prepare themselves to be old long
before it is necessary. That is beautiful
line in the old Hebrew poem. They
shall still bring forth fruit in old age" A
man who begins to feel some bodily all.
ment, like dimness of the sight, dizziness
of hearing or feebleness of the hand,
should refuse to recognize it us long as he
can.
Let no man talk about being old let no
man think about it; for he that begins to
think that he is old is old. There is in
every man that which does not grow old,
if he did but know it. There is in every
man the element Of Immortality. Having
used, as he might the instruments of one
or another kind with which the body is
equipped, if they fail let him take other
instruments. There is abundant scope. 1t
is ignominious for men to settle down into
ease and inactivity simply because they
are growing old. 1t may not be necessary
to lay upon age the full burden of life; it
may be that man should curtail his occu-
patton and functions but some occupation
and an occupation that wakes before the
man does, and meets him at the rising
hour and pushes him through the whole
day-that he should regard rs good for.

De not, then, seek easy ways; for easy
| ways lead to rust. Do not seek to get ril
of possibilities. Be anxious to take
them on. See to it that as you draw neal
to the later years of life you draw near tc
them fully equipped.
Do not talk about yourself. At any rate
do not talk about your old age. Do no
talk about your failing senses. OF al
things, for decency's sake, do not tall
about your diseases. If you know tina
you have the rheumatism, that is enough
If you know that you have neuralgia, b
content to keep it to yourself; your friend
DO not want it. Do not coddle your weak
nesses. Do not wrap up and bandage you
infirmities. Ones pride should hide thes
things. There is enough of the core o
youth in every man who is at all fit to liv
for every day as it passes.
And do not be prematurely old Abov
all, do not be older in your feelings tina
you are in fact. Therefore, never with
draw your interest from life. See what
going on, and care for what is going or
1t is good thing for man to set his a
fections on things above, and to have in
vestments in Heaven; there is time 70
these things; but they are not inconsister
with Il knowledge Of what is taking plac

times brood upon their heart.
Do not become self-indulgent. Do nj

of life, or about getting out of their wa,
Get out of nobody's way, and, above al
