HOUSE. FARM AND GARDEN.
Potatoes and the Moon.

Having made quite speciality of grow
ing potatoes for the last thirty years,
have had ample opportunity to look into
the peculiarties of their growth, and
they have often been very striking one
farmer will report that his best yields
are obtained by planting one or two eyes
in hill, while another could only get
his maximum crop by planting large
whole potatoes, and still others, some
years, really do get better results by
planting whole small potatoes than from
large ones cut as they usually are. One
man l know, planted part of field
with machine and part by hand, all
from the same pile Of seed and all the
same day. Those planted by the ma
chine did much the best - SO much
that their superiority showed very
plainly all summer while growing.
Some years we will see those planted
extremely late doing the best, while in
other years those only do well that are
planted earliest. All of these, and
many more, are the peculiarities that 1
have noticed about the growth of pota-
toes, and in every'osse by investigation,
a.good reason could be assigned plainly
in accordance with the principles of
their growth. / I'might state these rea-
sons here, but that is not what intend
to write aboutijust now.
In The Fdr9tet of Dec. 27, j. Il.
Meyres says he always sought to plant
potatoes In the dark of the moon, in
March or April.
The question before us then is, I" Is
the growth Of potatoes affected by the
phases of the moon ?" March and April
are good months in which to plant po-
tatoes, but has the phase of the moon
anything to do with itp Thousands of
farmers, utterly disregarding the moon,
have planted, If it SO happened in any
other quarter of that luminary, and
have obtained equally good crops when
the natural conditions of growth were
equally good. This fact leads us to dis
regard the restriction to one phase Of
the moon. Even if the moon had ever
so much to do with the growth of pota-
toes. we could not regulate its influence
by planting in one particular quarter,
for there is. no assurance that this is the
time they will commence to grow. That
might have been in the old Of the pre-
vious moon, or they may not commence
to grow for two .or three weeks after
planting. The'mere planting has little
to do with it.
/ have never seen failure of this
crop charged to plating in the wrong
phase of the moon, or good crop at
tributed to planting in the right phase,
but what either presalt could be traced to
natural causes, easily explained. But
after all my experience, 1 would advise
planting in the dark of the moon if the
land was in the best order then; if not,
work at it till it is in the best order even
If you have to plant in the new of the
moon. HI. Ives in 4RsocticI Farmer.

Wheat Growipg Maxims.

Somebody has ebeen, at the trouble of
condensing great deal of information
about wheat growing as follows:
!. The best soil for wheat is rich
loam.
,. Wheat always likes.a good, deep,
soft bed.
3. Clover turned under makes Just
such bed.
4. The best seed is heavy, oily, plump
and clean.
8. About two inches is the best depth
for sowing seed.
6. The drill puts in the seed better and
cheaper than broadcasting.
Z. From the middle of September to
the last of October is the best time for
sowing.
s. Drilled, one bushel of seed per acre;
If sown broadcast two.
9. One heavy rolling after sowing does
much good.
10. For flour, cut whea the grain be-
gins to harden; for seed, not until it has
hardened.

cousin to the musical king, completed

Torrance, he celebrated his birthday by
doing duty as sentry IN front of the prin-

commission in the morning, he took up
his post as simple sentinel, duly great,

fro on his beat, or stood eat ease" be-
fore his sentry box, giving the prescribed
salutes in all their subtle nuances to
every officer that passed by. Being an
uncommonly good-looking youth, he was
gazed at with admiration and approval
during his "spell' on guard by great
numbers of Munich danes and damsels,
who gave utterance of their feelings by
plaudits when he was relieved from his
post in the usual manner, and marched
off to barracks, rifle on shoulder, with the
relief party.

As Others See Us.

Pecring through the front window of q
Fifth avenue mansion while ball was
in progress, the editor of the New York
World made careful study Of the style
of the male performers, and records his
observations at some length In a we'll
considered leader:
"One man waltzes with his head in the
air and much the expression worn by a
dog when he is bowling at the sound of
music. Another has bend in the mid
die, which looks rs uncomfortable as it
is ungraceful. One genuhects at every
turn, and slides out one of his feet rs if
to trip up rival dancers. An even more
dangerous performer works his left foot
up and down as If it was pump-handle.
A tall man, with top-heavy kind of q
stoop, leans over his partner like great
hen taking a chicken under his wings.
One man holds his partner as il he were
afraid she would slip from his grasp,
while another looks as if he wished he
were rid of his bargain"

The Thief Pro Bono Publico.

A determined love of personal freedom
is illustrated by the following story of q
Polish Jew: After being convicted of
having stolen goods in which he traded
he was asked why he allowed himself to
be tempted to commit crime. He an
swered the question like a philosopher
and philanthropist. "Wel1," he said
confdentially, ''I win just tell you. The
one object of my life has been TO benefit
my fellow-men and sell them good ar-
ticle at the very lowest price. Now,
then, II I bought those goods the man /
bought them Of would regulate the price,
don't you see, but if steal them I can
regulate the price myself, and put them
within everybody's reach"
