II is one of the singular penalties attached
tn the office of President of the United States
that the incumbent must live in one OF the
most unhealthy neighbOrhOOds and least de-
sirable houses in the Capital. The White
House looks out upon the fever-breeding flats
of the Potomac, and every breeze brings in the
seeds of disease. The building itself IL very
old, much of the woodwork is rotten, and the
air is necessarily vitiated to an extent when
cannot but be dangerous to health. 1t was
matter of notoriety that the family OF Prea.
deut Hayes suffered much from the malarial
influences of the place, and President Gateld
has occupied the house barely two months
when his wife is stricken down by severe
illness. 1t is an affair of some Importance to
the country that the health of the man who
has been chosen to administer the Government
and of those who arc dear to him should not
be put in needless peril through the condition
of his official residence. He certainly has the
same right IA any other citizen to healthy
place to live in. Congress should take carry
steps to inquire whether the condition OF the
Potomac fats which is largely due to its own
inattention to the municipal needs OF WASH
ington, cannot he improved: whether failing
that. there ought not bo new White House
UPON a new site and whether, in any case, the
old structure should not be renewed through
out.
Mr.. Jefferson Davis's strangely stupid and

dangerous men of the age. He proved to toe

Il Hay Cap.

A cap two yards square will cover as
large cock OF hay as one can easily put
up but cap one and a half yards square
is usually quite as sensible. 1t Is only
necessary to protect the upper half of the
cocks, as tho lower portions mover get wet
except on tho outside. Cloth, yard and
half vide will make up with very little
sewing; tho edges may be hemmcd, but
overcastlEg will anewer nearly as we'll, and
a raw edge will do little harm. Cloth of
that width is not always obtainable, and
yard wide, or forty.inch wide may be used,
by cutting into suitable lengths and split
ting every third piece, using the halves for
widening out the other two. If the sewing
Is don" with machine, the cost will not
be much for each cap. The corners should
be turned over and sewed to form loop,
into which stout string can be tied for
securing the cap to the nay. This is some
times done by twisting the string and a
lock of the hay together under the cock.
More commonly, sticks from foot to six
teen inches long are used, which arc either
run into the hay or pushed into the ground.
Hay caps should be made in winter, when
there is plenty of leisure, otherwise, tho
chances arc, that they will not be made a,
all. They are kept for sale by some of the
dealers in agricultural goods, in this city
and were formerly sold at about SIX dollars
per dozen, for caps two yards square.

AGRICULTURE.

OLD VINE SREDs.--T Though we greatly
prefer. fresh seeds, those only one year from
the parent stock, there are some seeds.
strange to say, that improve by keeping a
year, or even two years, But seeds will
grow until they are. five or more years old,
but tho onion and parsnip are worthless
after one year.
Vines, however, grown from old seed are
really more productive, but less inclined to
run over a wide space. For this reason
some gardeners keeps the seeds Of melons,
rucumbcrs, squashes and tho like uutil the
second year to produce the result named.
But these seeds should not be kept where
they would gather moisture for that will
allow u. germination which will spoil the
seed. BY vines, it is commonly under
stood that only tho squash, pumpkin, mel
On aud cucumber are included. Peas and
beans are vines, but not what is known as
horizontal vines" Whlle on this matter
Of vines, we take occasion to say what was
not long ago told us by an old and thorough
market garden and seed grower, which is
substantially this: That vines, especially
squashes, are more vigorous near the sea-
shore than back in tho country; that in the
country they are apt to turn yellow and
fall to fruit; the remedy for which is ten
cords good manure to the acre; that salt is
valuable article to apply as a stlmulant ;
that diluted whale oil and carboiic acid
produce good results in preventing the
vines from yeHowing and being rcpulsivc
to- insect enemies.

marked that the topmost ear was best for

PorAToRs UNDER STRAw.-Scvcral years
ago there was much said about growing
pStatoes under straw--several reports from
those who have tried the method with sue
cess. Interest in the subject aspcars to be

method Is very simple; the land Is pre-
pared In the usual manner and the rows

cred with soil, The whole field, or bed,

should make their way through the straw,

that tho yield is larger and the potatoes arc
much handsomer than those treated In the

ALrHouGu it is a common opinion that
yellow corn contains moro oil and is richer
feed THAI white corn, 1t is not sustained by
chemical analysis. Some very careful ex-
aminations were made for the New York
State Agricultural Society some years ago,
which showed that white corn contained
considerably more oil than yellow corn.
Probably, on the average of u hundred or
more tests IL might turn out that there is
very little difference after all in respect of
tho color and quality of tho grain and that
it depends moro upon the manner OF
growth, fcrtillzing and cultivation.
