Storing and Keeping Potatoes.

p
Oflate years the potato has been one
of the most profitable of farm crops in
the East, and this chiefly arises from the
fact that it is somewhat difficult to keep
any very great quantity of them. Thus,
oaly so many of them are grown as can
be preserved, and rs the accommodate
tions are limited there is no glut in the
market as there are with things which
are grown and must be sent to market
at once OF course there are times
when potatoes rule low. This is apt to
be the case for early ones, grown espe-
cially for early purposes, and which fol-
low the same law that rules in tram
sient vegetables. So, alas, those who
grow potatoes and have no conveniences
for storing them, have no market in the
fall, and must take whatever price may
rule for them. Those who have good
cellars under their barns, or in any place
safe from frost, and yet cool and dry,
can generally make potato-growing pay
very well; and these are usually the
ones who do.
The infected tubers will often rot, es-
pecially if the mass heats little, and
convey the heat to the rest. In cellar
this can be seen and noted, but in =
mound out of doors no one knows of the
trouble till spring, when great loss is
found. Besides this, it is so difficult to
get at them in winter that those who
have no way to preserve potatoes ex-
cept this, as general thing prefer not
to grow at all rather than be bothered
with this. 49,
Dampness undoubtedly favors the
spread of the pototo disease, and there
fore where there is any chance at all of
the disease existing in the roots, they
ought to be stored as dry as possible
Those which are to be kept in this gen.
eral should be dry and cool; but this
should be especially seen to in the case
ofseed potatoes. Since the potato beetle
came among us. it is clear that We have
the very best results from early plant
ing and by the use of the earliest varie-
ties. Now these early kinds are more
easily affected by the warmth than the
late ones. They sprout easily, and cool
ness is therefore the more essential for
them. Some people think 1t makes lit
tie difference whether seed potatoes
sprout or not before planting. and We
have known people to tear off sprouts
several inches long and cut up the tu-
bers in full faith that they will sprout
out again and be none the worse for it.
They generally grow, but they are con-
stltutIcnally weaker and much more liza
BILE to disease than those which do not
sprout till ready to go into the ground.

The plowman stopped his team to watch
The train, as swift it thundered by;
Some distant glimpse of life to catch,
He strains his eager, wistful eye.
The morning freshness lies on him,
Just wakened from his balmy dreams;
The travellers, begrimed and dim,
Think longingly of mountain streams.
Oh, for the joyous mountain air,
The fresh, delightful autumn day
Among the hills! The plowman there
Must have perps tual holiday!
And he, as all day long he guides
His steady pillow. with patient hand,
Thinks of the flying train that gfdes
Into some new, enchanted land,
Where, day by day, no plodding round
Wearies the frame and dulls the mind
Where life thrills keen TO sight and sound,
With plows and ferrows left behind.

Has mortal man been mourned like him.

A Cistern for Graveuy Soil.

A good cistern is an essential upon
every farm where the well is failing
one. With supply of cistern water
there would be much less driving of
thirsty stock over long dusty roads to a
distant watering place, where the water
is frequently unit for the animals 10
drink. A cistern holding 100 barrels
can be constructed for fifty dollars, and,
in some places, for much less. This
would give two barrels of water daily
for fifty days, enough to supply num-
Der Of animals through our longest
drouth. A cylindrical cistern is the
most economical in both cost and space,
but when the soil is compact gravel it
is better to make it with the walls
spreading. Make the excavation in the
most convenient situation. as it is an
easy matter to lay pipe from it to the
place where the water is wanted The
cement should be mixed dry, with six
to seven times its bulk of clean sand.
Mix this with water. as needed, and
apply as soft mortar to the earthen
walls of the cistern. 1t is best to put it
on in spiral band, passing from the
bottom to the top, making the joints

brush. Let the cistern remain for a
time, and should any cracks appear fill
them with pure cement. II the soil is
a stiff clay the walls may be perpendic-

walls must be brick before cementing.
All house cisterns should be provided

The filter consists of layers of coarse

enters from pipe at the bottom and
rises through these layers of sand and

An Indianapolis merchant drove
into town every morning, left his horse
In livery stable, attended to business
until night, and then drove home. The
beast was by no means overworked in
this light service, yet it grew thin and
ill, as though from hard usage. The
owner at length discovered that it had
been hired out nearly every day by the
liveryman. A jury has awarded dam
ages to the amount of the money earned
by the horse.
