\ NEW SYSTEM OF POTATO RAISING.
Comfy ii. Wilson, a young farmer of
Buckingham, Montgomery county. COM
municates to the Doylestown Democrat
a new and successful system of potato
planting and growing, the substance of
which is as follows:
Last spring he noticed an advertisement
In the DOylestOwn papers setting forth that
Isaiah T. Clymer Of QuakeTtown, possessed
the secret of planting and raising potatoes,
which, if followed, would yield an increase
of twenty-five to thirty per cent. in the pro-
duct and that fun directions would be sent
! for 81. it attracted his attention, and more
from curiosity than anything else he wrote to
Mr.. Civmer, stating that if he would send
him the directions he would experiment, and
/ if successful would send him the dollar. The
! offer YVES accepted, and Mr.. ClymeT induced
him to take the agency for Buckingham upon
the condition that the money need not he
! paid until the parties tried the process and
! found the increased yield over those raised
/ in the ordinary way. Mr. Wilson theTeupOn
/ circulated hanGbills and canvaSsed the neigh
/ borhoOd couple OF days, but finding that
/ nine out OF ten had had their doubts about it,
and as be only had Clymer's recommendation
/ he could not give it positive Endorsement
without his own experience, he concluded to
/ await the result before making his agency a
I speciality. Last week he pulled up a potato
/ vine, the seed planted under the new system
/ that had twelve potatoes, four very large
! ones and eight of middling size, and some
I others that he dug up he says are larger,
, smoother and nicer than those planted in the
! ordinary way on the same day and in the
! same patch 50 far as his experiments went
. the new process is a success, and now we
! would like to hear from the other farmers
I whom he induced to try the new method. If
it doe all that is claimed for it it will GER

At last the man of the house sat out on

a card beside him, although nobody had

How TO HAVE a HORSE SHOD.-
Probably there is no man in this cOun-
trv whose advice about anything per
taining to horses is of more value than
that Of the Rev. W. II. II. Murray.
He is widely known as a great lover
Of horses and as q studiOus observer
Of their habits, and whatever he may
have % say in regard TO their treat
ment viii be received with confidence.
In q recent paper, which we find pub
Iished i'm the american dgr1cULtuTtSt,
Mr.. Murray attacks the method usually
adopted bv blacks'Eiths in shOeing
horses rs needlessly cruel, and in
many cases seriously injurious. The
nails. he saws. should be much small
or than they are, and should be driven
in more gently than is customary.
A man who does not wish to run the
risk Of having his horse permanently
lamed should insist when having him
shod that the smith shall drive his
nails slowly and steadily instead of
using violence. Some horseshOers 90
at their work rs though it were a mat
ter Of life Or death to get the nails en-
JlTelN SET IN AT Two DlO"S VI IHC Lldiu
mer. With such work there Is great
danger Of doing irreparable injury to
the horses foot, rs, in case the nail
is badly pointed and likely to be driv-
en- far into the flesh before the error is
discovered In chnching the nails
gentleness should ,also be exercised,
and the smith should never be allowed
to touch the outer surface Of the hoOi
with a rasp, for in that case the thin
coat of enamel, the object of which is
to protect the inner membrane and
fibre from exposure to water and at.
mosphere, would bc destroyed with in
furious results. In short, Mr.. Murray
advises that horses be shod just as hu
man beings are, with view to theil
comfort and protection, and he insists
that it is the dIty of every person who
owns or has the charge Of n horse tC
see that the smith who shoes him uu
derstands his business

a SHAD OW.-Nlany things can he
learned from a shadow. Let us take an
example or two. First, suppose we are
in a part of the country with which we
are not much acquainted, and we want
to know the direction in which We are
travelling we can tell by the direction
in which the shadows are thrown. We
have simply to note the time by our
watch, and bear in mind that the sun
rises in the east, and gets nearly south
by mid ,ay, after which he goes west.
We must at the same time bear in mind
that the shadow is thrown exactly in the
opposite direction, SO that when the
sun is southeast, as it always is before
midday, the shadows are thrown north
west. We need but compare the direc-
tiOn in which we are travelling with the
line cast by our shadow Again. sup
pose we are out walking near midday in
the summer, and we have no means of
knowing the exact time nor the direct
ion in which we are walking. Take a
stick-a wallSing-stick will do very well
indeed-plant it upright in the ground /;
its shadow will be thrown by the sun.
provided it be shining at the time. and
as 1t IS near midday its shadow will be
short, and we can tell whether it is be
fore or after noon, for if before midday
the shadow will become shorter and
shorter if just after, it will increase
in length. SO that in this experiment
we get both an indication of the time
OF day and the means of telling the four
points of the compass. In this lies the
whole secret of the Sun-dial.

The Haza Dance-New Zealand.

There were about 100 dancing, rang
ed in five rows, the front one consisting
of about 20 young woman gcrgeously
appareled in tight-fitting red or Whlte
bodices and flaming-cOlored rugs worn
like kits. When the Governor entered
they greeted him with the most awful
noise. shouting, yelling, Laughing ana
the beating of tin cans, the barking OF
dogs. and rapid hand-clapping. From
one or two of the specimens that were
translated to us, it was as well, perhaps,
that their shouts of welcome were ex-
pressed in the Maori language. The
Young women certainly seemed to enjoy
and make the most of the opportunity
for saving naughty things. The dance
lasted about an hour it was curious,
and as a novelty, amusing, but rather
monotonOuS. There was but little
movement of their feet; it consisted of
swaving their bodies and arms about,
going down on their knees, initiating
rowing and gathering crops, slapping
their own legs and then their,neighbors'
/ The men then took the place of the wO-
men, and went through very similar
performances. The whole dance was
accompanied by a noise that would have

/ At times there seemed to be a kind of

health. Far the most cOmical feature
of the dance was little naked imp who
stood in the front of the first row, eX-
actly opposite the Governor, and imita-

arms, all the while thrusting out hi
