How TO TELL A COOP PoTATo.-Take
a sound potato, and paying no attention
to its outward appearance, divide it into
two pieces with your knife and examine
the exposed surfaces. If there is so
much water or 'julce" that seemingly a
slight pressure would cause it to fall off
in drops, you may be sure it will be
''soggy" after it is boiled. These are
the requisite qualities for good potato
which must appear when one is cut in
two. For color, yellowish white; if it
is deep yellow the potato will not cook
we'll; there must be a considerable
amount of moisture. though not too
much rub the two pieces together and
a white froth will appear around the
two edges and upon the two surfaces
this signifies the presence of starch, and
the more starch. and consequently froth,
the better the potato, while the less
there is the poorer it will cook. The
strength of the starchy element can be
tested by releasing the hold upon one
piece of the potato, and if it still clings
to the other, this in itself is very gooc
sign. These are the experiments gen
orally made by experts, and they arr
ordinarialy willing to buy on tn,
strength Of their turning out we'll
though these tests are by no mean
infallible.

TREATMENT OF OLD APPLE
TREES.

H. G. Gilbert Of Randolph, Vermont,
thus describes his success in restoring
old apple trees to fruitfulness: Il live
in Randolph, on the hill, that is, near
the center of the town. The soil is
dark loan with clay subsoil, and every
way we'll adapted to orcharding. I
bought the farm twelve years ago last
spring and found upon it only four apple
trees. These had been set out about
eighteen years, and were some six or
seven inches in diameter. was very
busy the first four or five years in build
ing and improving my farm and set out
no apple trees, and paid no attention to
the four that I had. In the spring of
1872 I dug around three of these trees
(the fourth being badly shaded by
maple tree paid no attention to iD,
turning the soil over with common po-
tato digger for space of twenty feet in
diameter. I then put around each one
small two-horse wagon load of stable
manure, and worked it into the soil with
manure fork. Then after rain |
gave the trees thorough scraping with
hoe, bodies and limbs, removing all
rough bark and moss; then [ cut off all
dead limbs, sprouts and suckers. |
have used no more manure since, but
have mulched them with India wheat
straw and potato tops. Now for the re-
suit; had never gathered from these
, trees more than six bushels of apples in
r any one year, and those were of inferior
r quality. The trees soon commenced to
grow, the foliage turning dark green,
r while before it was 'sicklied Ger with

RENEWING GRASS LAND.-When grass
land gets run out, as the phrase goes,
the best way to renew it, unless it is
very rocky or rough land, is to break it
up, and, if it is not available or desira-
BILE for cultivation, to manure heavily
and reseed. This month, after the hay
is cut, is the best time for breaking up
sod. It can then be MANFRED, thorough
ly narrowed and re-seeded with grass,
or sown with rye, the last of the month.
In sowing grass seed only those kinds
should be sown together that mature
together. Herdsgrass and red top go
well together, but orchard grass, June
grass and the other early varieties should
be sown by themselves. Twelve quarts
of herdsgrass and three pecks of red top
make very good seeding for an acre.
If herdsgrass is sown alone on very
heavy land it should be sown more
thickly, so that it will not grow too rank
and coarse. Orchard grass should be
sown very thickly or it will grow in
clumps. From bushel and a half te
two bushels of seed to an acre gives &
good result.-Massachusetts Ploughnaa

THE BEST FARM HoRsE.-Years ago
when faster horse than existed was de-
sirable, there was reason in the attempts
to improve the speed of the animal, but
there is hardly doubt that the good of
the farmer has been altogether lost sight
of in the desire to get horses of great
speed. The best farm horse is the
strong horse, the one that can step out
lively. and has the endurance to 60
through days work without great ia
tigue. The business of raising fast
horses is altogether distinct from the
business of the farmer. 1t is source
of excitement to see horse race, but
when the farmer thinks the horse be
sees racing is the one he ought to have
on his farm he makes a mistake. Tht
heavy Norman horse would be more
profitable than the one that was simpl,
a racer.-Philadclphia Farmer.

The late Rev. DR.. Bushnell used to
tell the following anecdote to show the
influence of the climate upon the judg-
ment. AS they were coming out of the
church one drizzly Sunday, his wife re-
marked, "You had better burn that SER
mon; it isn't worth repeating any
where" 81 shall do no such thing" ]
answered, a little vexed-; 'the sermon
is up to my average" She persisted,
and | said little more. But year OF
two afterwards, on bright, CHEEKY Sun
day in May, | took that same sermon
again. And as we came down the aisle
after service, she whispered (withou
the slightest notion that she had heard
it before), IL would mark that to preacl
on exchange; it is better than common.

FILLING THE HOUSE.

A certain church, which occupied
very spacious place Of worship, greatly
desired to see the vacant seats IN their
temple filed, and the burden of their
prayer used to be that the Lord would
send some one who would fill the house,
Their thoughts and petitions and efforts
seemed to tend mainly in this one direc-
ton. At last their prayer was answer
ed. A preacher came, young. eloquent
and popular. 1t did not take him long
to fill the house. His reputation did
not improve on close acquaintance, but
he filled the house. He not only filled
the church on Sundays, but he filed the
courthouse to perfect jam when his
name was called in connection with a
scandal suit. He filled the church with
people rarely seen in place of worship,
and who were apparently attracted by
things which would repel the devout
worshiper. He filled the house with a
rabble; he filled the community with
scandals; he filled the newspapers with
reading unfit for any family circle; and
so he went on changing his location, but
not his character, dividing his time be-
tween law, politics gospel and scandal
until he had won name which few
could covet-but he filled the house
When people pray for some one to FL
the house, it may be we'll to specify tn,
material with which they desire to hav
it filled. 1t is not very difficult to FL
houses, nor to build vast heaps of wood
hay and stubble, which are destined t
perish in the devouring flames; it is ia
more difficult to build up in the mos
holy faith congregation of true believ
ers who love and serve the Lord thei
God. The fact that man can fill
house is not always to his credit or tn
church's profit. The material used fc
filling and the method by which it
obtained, are matters to be considere
in connection with filling the house,
