PLANTING PoTAToEs. Nearly cyory
rule which has been commonly laid
down needs some modification accord
ing TO circumstances, and dif1e1cnC cX-
pcrimcntcrs often come to partial or
conflicting conclusions as external in
iucnccs may have varied. For exam
plo, In the use Of large and small seed
ana OF cut and uncut potatoes. tho
widest difference may result from con.
trolling causes. In nearly all condi-
tlons 1t is bcttor to cut the tubers, and
thus obtain fewer stalks in the hll than
oy whole planting. But If the plant
ing be done late, and tho soil happens
to be unusually dry in the time of Il
drouth, cut potato may dry up and
fail to grow, at a time when the i'm
pcrvious skin Of n whole one will prc
vent willing, and sufficient moisture
and nourshmont be afforded from it to
START good growth. The continual
rule may therefore DO laid down, to
plant whole potatoes only in dry Soil
or In time OF dry weather, which ali
good farmers will know how to avoid.
For similar results from small or large
seeds vary much with circumStauc
very small cut potatoes should be en-
ployed only when tho soil is IN fine.
moist condition, and early In the
spring. With these favorable chances
we have Obtained as large potatoes from
cut seed Of tnbers as large as a robin s
egg as from those weighing quarter
Il quarter OF pound, AMI with n slight
ly small rr >duct per a;rc. The small
sets We're kept moist by fine soil
which surrounded them till they had
sent mp strong shoots. But as thcse
favorable conditions arc not likely to
occur very often, it Is always safer to
employ seed of fair size, and to plant
deep enough to escape surface driving.
In view OF these general principles It
Will DO seen that there is little adyan-
tagc in the frequent practice of cutting
to few eyes and dropping two pieces
IN a hill. These would be more likely
to dry up In soil not quito moist
enough, than If the samo n,lm1or of
eyes were allowed to remain on q sim
glc piece. These remarks arc made
from many trials under the varying 9
conditions mentioned above.

A gentleman who visited Richmond

A gentleman who visited Richmond
(Va.) on q vacation trip, writes in the
Boston Journal a very interesting account
of what he saw and learned, from which
we make the following extract: "The
business interests of Richmond are va
ried, tobacco being of course one of the
most important There are now nearly
eighty tobacco factories in the city, EN-:
ploying over 5000 men, women and
children, while in the smaller places of
manufacture some 5000 to 1000 more
are employed. In iron-works, -four
mills, and other business interests, the
number of employees rises to upwards of
10000, which certainly gives an oppor-
tunity to the poorer people for earning
their living at least with comfort"

-"Here, lend me hand, somebody"
cried good little Billy, struggling to climb
over the back fence to run away to the
circus. And his kind father, who hap
pened to be near and heard him came up
and lent him q hand about the size of
sugar.cured ham. sixteen or seventeen
times. And the next time he runs away
to the circus Billy will try to get along
alone.
-"Do you love this girl better than
you do her sister," was what Kansas

Mathematical Puzzles.

Two countrymen were going along the
road, each driving sheep. Said one:
eli, neighbor, give me one OF your
sheep, and then / shall have twice rs
many as you will have"
"Nay, neighbor," replied the other,
"give me one of your sheep, and then we
shall both have the same number"
How many sheep did each have?

An old man lived in little hut by a
bridge which crossed deep river.
One day wicked water.spirit appeared
to him and said: My friend, l know you
are very poor. Now, I will increase
whatever money you may have two-fold,
asking only in return this small favor,
that every time you cross the bridge you
will throw twenty-four cents into the wa
ter, and at the same time the money you
have left shall be doubled. The poor old
man was delighted at what he thought
generous offer of the water.spirit, and
faithfully fulfilled all the conditions; but,
to his sorrow and astonishment, when be
had three times thrown the tribute Of
twenty.four cents to the water-spirit he
found himself penniless.
How much money did he have when
the water-spirit first appeared to him?
A man had seven sons and a property
of $4,000. Now, the younger sons
we're Jealous because their father spent
more for the elder brother than he did for
them, and they entreated him to make
his will in their favor. To satisfy their
demands he made his will, and the young
er sons were contented. Thisis the will:
The oldest son to have 81 1000, and an
eighth of what remained; the second son
to have $4,000, and an eighth of whatre-
NAMED; the third 5000, and an eighth
of what remained the fourth $4,000,
and an eighth of what remained the
fifth $4,000, and an eighth of what re-
manned; the sixth $4,000, and an eighth
of what remained the seventh and
youngest to have all that remained when
the sixth had taken his share.
What share of the $4,000 did each
receive?
A good mother went to buy eggs for
her children, for the Easter season was
approaching, and the eggs were to be
colorcd red and blue. She bought from
q grocer half of his entire stock and half
an egg more. Then a second woman
came, and she bought half of what the
grocer had remaining and half an egg
more. A third woman and fourth wo-
man did the same thing, and in the end
the grocer had one egg left.
How many had he in the beginning? :?

proceeded TO the Office. As he opened the
door of the office from the dining room he
discovered It to be hell hole Of fame and
smoke and The starting place Of the nre.; His
frst though was for the safety Of the precious

had gained such headway that but little
could be saved except in the parlor and
