nothing he could take back, whereupon
Russell knocked him down. Smarr stag
gered to his feet and drawing knife made
a lunge at Russell, just reaching the skin OF

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
the diseased ones will often commune
cate the disease to the rest. In a cellar
this can be seen and noted, but in a
mound out of doors no one knows of the
trouble till spring, when great loss has
been found. Beside this, it is so diff
cult to get at them in winter that those
who have no way to preserve potatoes
except this,as a general thing prefer not
to grow at all rather than to be bothered
with them.
Dampness undoubtedly favors the
spread of the potato-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 way should be dry and cool, but
this should be especially seen in the
case of seed-potatoes. Since the potato
beetle came among us it is clear that we
have had the very best results from
early planting, and by the use of the
earliest varieties. Now these early kinds
are more easily affected by the warmth
than the late ones. They sprout e4sily,
and GOODNESS is therefore the more esq
sential for them. Some people think it
makes little difference whether seed
potatoes sprout or not before planting.
We have known people tear of sprouts
several inches long, and cut up the
tubers in full faith that they will sprout
out again and be none the worse for it.
They do generally grow; but there is
little doubt they are constitutionally
weaker, and much more liable to dis
ease than those which do not sprout till
ready to 60 in the ground.-Farnaer
and Gardener.

MANAGEMENT of Winter Pastures.

The main secret of securing good win
ter pasturage consists in keeping stock
away from the ground from the middle
of April till the frost in the fall puts a
stop to the growth of the grass. Land
that is pastured for even short time
during the summer can not be relied
upon to afford sufficient and suitable
food for stock during the winter. The
grass should be allowed to mature seed
stalks, and the leaves that appear in the
early part of the season. If these are
left 1lndisturbed they will become par
TALLY dry, fall over, and protect the To-
liage that appears later in the season.
Letting stock in during times when the
grass is short in the pastures intended
for summer use results in destroying the
protection that is necessary for the more
tender foliage. There is nothing that
equals bluegrass for winter pasturage.
1t grows thick, and when once well es-
tablished on soil possesses great vital
ity. Timothy and red clover, the most
fashionable of all our forage crops, and
the ones most generally cultivated, are
entirely unsuited for winter pasturage.
They grow quickly, mature large stalks
and considerable seed, but compare
lively small amount of foliage, which
loses its value if it is exposed to the
changes of the weather. Orchard grass,
though excellent for summer pasturage,
is very poor for pasturage during the
winter. The stalks are too tall, and the
leaves not sufficiently fine to pack close
together. The coarse grass that grows
naturally on the prairies is Objectionable
on the latter account. Red-tOp is the
best substitute for bluegrass of any of
the more common grasses. OF course,
winter pastures are of no value in por-
tons of the country where the ground is
covered with snow for four or five
months, and they are of comparatively
little value in most of the extreme South
ern States. The best winter pastures in
the States are found between the thirty
fifth and forty-second degrees of north
latitude. Some believe there is no econ
omy in winter pastures now that grass
can be cut and put in stack or NOW, by
the aid of machinery, for dollar per
ton, and in some places for a less sum.
But the best stockmen in this State
think otherwise. They say that mix
ture of green and dry feed like that
afforded by winter pasture of blue
grass that has not been disturbed during
the summer months is the best for stock.
The saving of labor effected by having a
winter pasture for cattle is very consid-
cradle. 1t not only saves cutting, cur
ing, and stacking the grass, but saves
the trouble of feeding it out to the stock.
Col. Gillett, of Logan County, states
that he considers the product of his land
devoted to winter pasturage of equal
value for stock-feeding purposes to that
of the corn raised on the same number
of acres. He keeps stock away from his
winter pastures during the summer, as
he does from fields devoted to corn and
small grains.-Chicago Times.

The Laclede Hotel, st. Louis, Mo.

Messrs. j. l.. Griswold and w. F.
Sperry, well-known and experienced
hotel men, have recently purchased the
above property and have redecorated,
refurnished and reappointed the hotel
at an expenditure of $4,000.
The plumbing and sewerage has re-
ceived especial attention. All improve
ments have been successfully embodied
to secure the most perfect sanitary con-
ditions. The house is supplied with the
electric light, electric bells, hot and cold
water, new passenger elevator, tele-
graph and ticket offices, and contains
800 rooms, and has the most central To-
cation in the city, situated on Chestnut,
extending from Fifth to Sixth Streets.
Being owners of the property, with no
rent to pay, Messrs. Griswold & Sperry
are prepared to cater to the public at
the low prices of $500, $3.50 and $500
per day.

Storing and Keeping Potatoes.

Of late 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
only so many are grown that can be
preserved, and as the accommodations
are limited there is no glut in the mar
ket 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 with early ones, grown especially for
early purpose, and which follow the
same law that rules in transient vegeta-
bles. So also those who grow potatoes
and have no conyeniences for storing
them. These have to market in the
fall. and have 70 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

Beef Tea.

Says writer in the Boston Tuns-
cript:
When l wish to make a small quanti-
ty of beef tea, and have it as nutritious
as possible, this is the way I make it
Cut pound Of rump steak in quarter
inch cubes on board with sharp
knife Sprinkle salt Oh the bits of beef,
about SIS much as would season it if it
we're broiled. Put it in a glass preserve
jar, and let it stand fifteen minutes.
cover the jar alright, and let it stand
one hour. Then set the jar into a ket-
tie of cold water on the stove. Let it
come very slowly to boil. Then set it
on the back part of the stove where it
will keep at a boiling heat, but without
boiling, until wanted. After straining
it for use, add N4ore salt if necessary,
and q sprinkle Of red pepper if the case
alloGs it. This concentrates the nOur
ishment and makes it more palatable.
Some people do not add the four Ia
blespoonfuls of water to the beef, but
merely extract the juice of the meat.
But think it sufficiently strong and
much nicer if {, little water is added.
This is the best way to make beef tea
where a person is very sick and can take
but very little nourishment. The way
that l will tell you about now is vesJ-
good, too, and think it extracts thc
juice from the meat more completely
than the other. think this would be
just as good for you, Lefty, and you
would like it as we'll; for this, too, is
made in a glass jar. I ought to have
said in the beginning that when l make
beef tea, l am very particular to trim off
every bit of fat and gristle.
Second method-Take a pound of
lean, juicy beef, and cut it in very small
bits. Put it in a glass preserve jar,
without any salt, add pint and a half
of cold water, screw on the cover air.
tight, and let it stand an hour or longer.
Then put the jar in u kettle of cold wa
ter and let it come slowly to boil. Let
it boil from one to three hours, then
strain off the liquor and season with salt
and pepper.
Third method-Take slice of lean
beef that weighs about half pound.
Broil it few minutes over very hot
fire, taking care that it does not scorch.
Place it in a hot shallow bowl or basin,
sprinkle it with salt and pepper, and
pour on half pint of boiling water. Set
the bowl on the back of the range, and
cut the meat into little bits with a very
sharp knife as it lies under the water.
Cover it close and let it stand where it
will keep hot, but not boil, from ten
minutes to half an hour.

More About Sunlit Rooms.

No article of furniture should be put
in room that will not stand sunlight,
for every room in dwelling should
have the windows so arranged that some
time during the day flood of sunlight
will force itself into the apartment. The
Importance of admitting the light of the
sun freely to all parts of our dwelling
can not be too highly estimated. In
deed, perfect health is nearly as much
dependent on pure sunlight as it is on
pure air. Sunlight should never be ex-
Guided, except when so bright as to be
uncomfortable to the eyes. And walks
should be in bright sunlight, SO that
the eyes are protected by veil or parasol
when inconveniently intense. A sun
bath is of more Importance in preserv-
ing a healthful condition of the body
than is generally understood. A sun
bath costs nothing, and that is misfor-
tune, for people are deluded with the
idea that those things only can be good
or useful which cost money. But re-
member that pure water, fresh air, and
sunlit homes, kept free from dampness,
will secure you from many heavy bills
of the doctors, and give you health and
vigor which no money can procure. 1t
is ell-established fact that the people
who live much in the sun are usually
stronger and more healthy than those
whose occupations deprive them of sun
light.
1t is quite easy to arrange an isolated
dwelling so that every room may be
flooded with sunlight some time in the
day, and it is possible that many town
houses could be so built as to admit
more light than they now receive

E" EdgeWOOd Folks. -

Mr.. Sol Smith Russell presented his new
play at the Academy of Music last evening
to large audience, and its reception was as
hearty and as enthusiastic as its author
could have desired. The play itselfis clev-
erly constructed as to plot, incident and
dialogue, and is presented by an admirable
company. 1t is pastoral story of New
England village life with enough romance
in it to fairly divide the interest of the
audience with the wonderful comicalities of
"Tom Dilloway," the hero, with whom the
denouement rests.
Mr.. Russell, whose mirth- provoking face
is familiar to the Charleston public, has i'm
proved with age, and in his new play man
ages to keep his audience in continuous
roar of laughter. The numerous comic
songs which are interpolated in the drama
were all encored again and again, and Mr..
Russell was repeatedly called before the
curtain. The support is far above the
average and contributes not little to the
success of the play. All in all, it would be
difficult to find any entertainment more
laughable than "Edgewood Folks" It will
be repeated tonight and is we'll worth see
