How to Keen Potatoes.

line recent allusion in the Examiner
20 the Partisan method of making old
Potatoes pass for new ones, suggests
some thoughts on the subject of keeping
potatoes and preparing them for cook
ing. desire, however, in advance, to
dlsclaim all sympathy with or apology
Tor deception in the matter. An old
potato which by soaking and rubbing
can be made to put on the appearance
OF new one is so much better and more
valuable for all table purposes than a
new one that there ought not to be anv
lnducement in the way of demand or
Prlce to practice deception. Fashion
and the requirements of trade favor the
earnest possible introduction of new
potatoes, In common with all other veg
etaples OF the season; but economy and
heaith would be greatly promoted if
potatoes were never used until they were
!uiiy ripe, which might well be the case
II proper means were employed to keep
the Old ones in good condition to the
end OF the season. There is popular
fallacy that when potato will burst it's
skin during the process of boiling it is
ripe enough to be eaten. New potatoes
OF some varieties will sscook mealy'' be-
fore they are half grown or have, bulk
for bulk, half the nutritive value of old
potatoes OF the same sort; but the old
ones are better every way, only that it
IS more work to prepare them. We
have as fine Early Rose potatoes now as
ever graced a table, and the tops are
dead. too, but they are not so good as
the old ones yet.
1t is very simple matter to keep po-
tatoes a year in the cellar, and have
them come out at the end of that time
in as good table condition as any new
ones sold in our Northern markets up
to September. We keep our potatoes in
board bin raised a few inches from the
bottom of the center of a deep, damp.
cool, dark cellar. There is just suffi-
Gent ventilation to secure pure air, but
not enough to permit evaporation.
Very little light is ever admitted until
the vegetables are all out for the sea-
son.
The preparation of old potatoes for
cooking is an art which does not seem
to be generally understood. 1 heard a
lady who was boarding with family in
the country remark one day that she
had been trying all summer to find an
excuse for telling her hostess how to pre-
pare her most miserable old potatoes
than any new ones. All that is necessa-
ry is to give them the treatment with
which the Parisians are credited; or if
they are to be pared, the soaking over
night in cold water is all the treatment
necessary.
A word in regard to cellars for veget-
ables may not be out of place. Cellars
extending from one to three feet out of
ground, and fitted up with windows,
ventilators, etc., are the poorest of all
places for storing vegetables. A vege-
table cellar should be wholly under
ground and under the coolest part of
the house, and separated from the light,
airy cellar for general purposes. A
generous grading up of earth against
the cellar walls, even reaching close up
to the siIs, is better than fancy cum
derpinning'' for all useful purposes,
though it may not look quite 50 stylish.

Reform Needed in the System OF Cotton
Planting.

The South must prepare to raise her
own provisions, compost her fertilizers,
cure her own hay, and breed her own
stock. Leaving credit and usury out of
the question, no man can pay seventy
five cents bushel for corn, thirty dol
lars ton for hay, twenty dollars bar
rel for pork, sixty cents for oats, and
| raise cotton for eight cents a pound.
The farmers who prosper at the South
are the "corn-raisers," e., the men
who raise their own supplies, and make
cotton their surplus crop. A gentleman
who recorded 800 mortgages last year
testified that not one was placed ON the
farm of man who raised his own bread
and meat. The shrewd farmers who al
ways have bit of money on hand with
which to buy any good place that is to
be sold under mortgage are the "corn-
raisers," and the moment they get pos
session they rule out the all-cotton plan,
and plant corn and the grasses. That
the plan of farming only needs revision
to make the South rich beyond measure
is proven by constant example. A corn
raiser bought place of $40 acres for
S1,7OO. He at once put six tenants on
it, and limited their cotton acreage to
one-third of what they had under cult
walton. Each one of the six made more
clear money than the former owner had
made, and the rents for the first year
were S1,126. The man who bought
this farm lives in Oglethorpe, Georgia,
and has fifteen farms all run on the same
plan.
The details of the management of
what may be the typical planting neigh
borhood of the South in the future are
furnished me by the manager of the
Capeheart estate, in North Carolina.
This estate is divided into farms of fifty
acres each, and rented to tenants.
These tenants are bound to plant fifteen
acres in cotton, twelve in corn, eight in
small crops, and let fifteen lie in grass.
They pay one-third of the crop as rent,
or one-half if the proprietor furnishes
horses and mules. They have comfort
able quarters, and are entitled to the
surplus herring and the dressings of the
herring caught in the fisheries annexed
to the place. In the center of the estate
is general store managed by the pro-
prietor, at which the tenants have such
a line of credit as they are entitled to,
of course paying pretty percentage of
profit on the goods they buy. They are
universally prosperous, and, in some
eases, where by skill and industry they
have secured 100 acres, are laying up
money. The profits to DIR. Capeheart
are large, and show the margin there is
in buying land that is loosely farmed,
and putting it under intelligent super
vision. OF the $4,000 worth of land
added to his estates last year, at valu-
alton of twenty-five dollars per acre, he
will realize in rental nine dollars per
acre for every acre cultivated, and cal
culates that in five years at the most the
rentals of the land will have paid back
what he gave for it.-Henry W. Crazy.

Whatever hog medicine contains a
good proportion of charcoal is pre-
sumptively good medicine. 1t may be
possible for quackery to so combine
charcoal with other ingredients that the
efficacy of this remedial agent will be de-
stroyed, but it would, we believe, take a
regular double barreled quackery to de-
stroy it under any circumstances. 1t is
a most useful medicine by itself, and
worth more than any other one ingredi-
ent that we ever saw put into medi-
cine. 1t benefits the hog system by alb
sorbing the injurious gases within it.,
and its absorptive powers are SO great
that it will absorb about eighty times
more gas than it's own measurement. 1t
is to this quality that it owes its efficacy
nothing equal to it was ever given or has
ever been discovered in such cases.
Few of our readers but are doubtless
aware how magnifcently it acts in hui
man complaints, and to such it is rec
commended in diseases of domestic ami
mails, and especially of swine, with just
as much confidence of its being sue
cess as when given to human beings.
One beauty about it, too, is that it can
do no harm, something that can not be
"
recommended by avaricious compound
ers of medicines for animals. If it is
given in too large doses it simply acts as
q cathartic, and that is the end of it.
With such splendid remedy at hand,
it is astonishing why it is used compar-
atively SO little, and why breeders of
domestic animals should be so willing to
dose them with mercury and other
harsh and certainly injurious medicines.
Mercury is not fit for anything that lives
to take. 1t is almost certainly produc
tive of more or less harm. Not only
will charcoal be found to be an excel
lent remedy in case of actual disease,
but it will prove an excellent prevent
i've, as must readily be seen in view of
its absorptive and consequently blood
purifying qualities. Noxious gases in
the system must faint the blood and
produce disease in some degree, and if
they are removed fertile cause of dis
ease is removed. If our swine are prop
erly fed, that is, fed upon variety of
food, phosphate and carbonaceous,
properly cared for and given charcoal.
we shall hear less Of hog cholera and
other hog diseases. 1t must be charcoal
that is used, however. We frequently
have inquiries as to the value of the hard
coal in such cases. They have no such
properties as the charcoal has, and as
far as we know are perfectly useless as
a remedial agent. There are some hog
medicines which contain charcoal, and
we think a great deal of them. Indeed
we are using one constantly upon our
own hogs, and we believe, in fact we
know, with profit. There are other in
gradients in the medicine which are no
doubt valuable, so much so that we
should be unwilling to dispense with
them, but the most important ingredi-
ent is Western R,v1M.

Whisky contains fusil oil, a deadl'

Whisky contains fusil oil, deadly
poison; and glucose, which contains a
well-selected assortment of poison, is
largely used in the manufacture of beer.
The golden drip sirup which we use is
largely made from old leather and rags
picked from the cutters. Pork is filled
with the deadly parasite, and cigarettes
contain poison that is fast wiping out
the youth of the land. In addition to
all this St. Louis physician has found
that tooth-picks are made of linden !;
that the linden contains deadly poison
called lindoline; that a cat inoculated
with indoline on the point of a needle
died in eighteen seconds. Is it not
miraculous that so many escape?

There are some peculiar little pre-
JUDGES in Italy about certain fruits and
vegetables. Though blackberries grow
in profusion along the roadsides, they
are never seen on the table, being con-
sidered altogether too common. Water
melons also share the same fate, and are
only sold in the streets to the poorer
classes. Tomatoes never appear upon
the table, but are only used to flavor
with. 1 think the kind signora with
whom we live has never entirely recov-
cred from the shock 1 gave her one day
by begging for couple of raw toma-
toes. In place of vinegar, an Italian
always prefers lemon juice, upon spin
ach, for instance. Cottage cheese is
eaten with ground coffee sprinkled upon
it, which can assure you is not bad.
And fresh figs are always eaten with a
dish of fried ham, which brings out the
flavor of the fruit most wonderfully

The Science of Advertising.

If you have goods to sell, advertise
the fact.
| Hire a man with lampblack kettle and
a brush to paint your name and number
on all the railroad fences. The cars go
whizzing by so fast that no one can
read them, to be sure, but perhaps the
conductor will be obliging enough to
stop the train for inquisitive passengers.
Remember the fences by the road
side as well. Nothing is so attractive
to the passer-by as a well-painted sign:
s'Mullington's Medical Mixture for
Mumps.''
| Have your cards on the hotel regis
ter, by all means. Strangers stopping
at the hotel for the night generally buy
cigar before leaving town, and they
need some inspiring literary food be-
sides.
If an advertising agent wants to adj
vertise your business in fancy frame at
the depot, pay him about 200 per cent.
more than it is worth, and let him put
it there. When a man has three-quar-
tiers of second in which to catch train
he invariably stops to read depot adj
vertisements, and your card might take
his eye.
OF course the street thermometer
dodge is excellent. When a mans fin
gers and ears are freezing, or he is puff
ing and ''phewing" at the heat, is the
time above all others when he reads a
thermometer advertisement.
Don't fail to advertise in every circus
programme. 1t will help the circus to
pay their bills, and the visitors can re-
lieve the tedium of the clowns jokes by
looking over your remarks about ''ten
per cent. below COST etc.
A boy with big placard on pole is
an interesting object on the street, and
lends dignified air to the establish
ment. Hire couple.
Patronizing every agent that shows
you an advertising tablet, card, direct
DRY, dictionary, or even an advertising
Bible, if one is offered at a reasonable
price, shows that you know where to in
vest your money.
But don't think of advertising in a
well-established, legitimate newspaper.
Not for moment. Your advertisement
would be nicely printed and would find
its way into all the thrifty households of
the region, where the farmer, the me-
| chanic, the tradesman and others live,
and into the families of the wealthy and
refined-all who have articles to buy
and the money with which to buy them !;
and in the quiet of the evening, after
the news of the day has been digested,
it would be read and pondered, and the
next day people would come down to
your store and patronize you, and keep
coming in increasing numbers, and you
might have to hire an extra clerk or
two, move into larger block and more
favorable location and do bigger bust
ness; but, of course, it would be more
expensive and-bring larger profits

Poverty and Distress.

That poverty which produces the greatest
distress is not of the purse but of the blood.
Deprived of its richness it becomes scant
and watery, a condition termed dnentid in
medical writings. Given this condition, and
scrofulous swellings and sores, general and
nervous debility, loss of flesh and appetite,
weak lungs, throat disease, splitting OF blood
and consumption, are among the common
results. If you are sufferer from thin,

your walters are attentive and polite, and
buy only the best in the market. And still all
of this you can do and not give satisfac-
