Keeping Potatoes.

Where no suitable cellar is to be had, Irish potatoes may be kept very we'll in the garden covered with straw and protected against frost by earth. Put them on the surface of the ground in a heap, two and half to three feet at the base and sloping as high as they will pile up. Make the heap as long as desired; cover with dry wheat or other straw, packed on to the depth of six inches.- Then cover with earth taken from around the heap to the depth of eight inches in this latitude. Put in ga ventilator at the top of the ridge, and remove it in week or ten days. Per haps it would be safe to throw only half the earth on at first, but the covering should be completed before hard freezing weather. The excavation made for the covering material will generally drain the heap, and should not be nearer than eighteen inches to the edge of the potatoes. Potatoes should be summed day or two after digging before being put in the heaps. 5F rrs.-- -e. vr

A Ruined Life.

''I am thief, perjurer, 8 forger
 and iar," is the comprehensive and
 graphic confession of Cashier Baldwin
 of Newark. "snd I am ready to go be-
 hind the bars of 8 prison and end my
 days there" This is melancholy end
 ing of career of high character hith-
 erto. Baldwin is a man of 45, a promi.
 nent Episcopalian, and of no vices he
 has wife and two children, one son
 of IS; he has been nearly 20 years-in
 his place, had salary of $7,5O0 and his
 wife brought him the house in which they lived. His brothers also are lead ing business men. How such a man could step aside and keep going astray to this extent is one of the mysteries of crime. That he should be led into it by mere indulgence toward 8 customer of the bank seems incredible. There IS one point of some importance cleared up as to the strictness of the bank ex- animation. Shelley, the bank exam iner, claims that in bis examination last year he wrote to the Mechanics Ma tional of New York for their account with the Mechanics National of New ark, which, if it had been rendered. would have exposed the falsity of Bald wins bookkeeping. Baldwin now con- fesses that he took pains, as though to offer to carry in person the
 etter of the New York cashier to MT. Shelley, and secretly forged 8 new an- 'wer, covering his own tracks. Moral l or bank examiners. Not to allow bank officers to handle their official mail cas- lally. Apparently, Shelley was the irst examiner who had attempted to compare these statements of the two banks. Experience demonstrates that 10 bank examination is of value which l loes not trace out and verify the char Icter of large assets, when those whose James give them value can be easily inquired of.-SEringt6eld Repu6lican.

The annual report of United States Treasurer Gilfllan on the financial operations of the Treasury for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1881, is before the public. The receipts of the Govern ment show an increase over those for 1880 from every source. The increase in the receipts from customs is $11, ,637,- 611.42; from internal revenue, $11, ,255,- O11.59; from sales of public lands, $1, ,185, ,356. 57, and from miscellaneous sources, $3,177, ,7O2.O1. The total in- crease is $27, ,255, 681.59, which, added to net reduction of $6, 93O, ,O7O. 19 in expenditures, makes an increase in the surplus revenue of $34, 1855, 751. 7S. The net revenues were $36O, 782, ,292 57, and the net expenditures $26O, 712, ,Ss7. .59.

Before three o'clock tha5 morning the

Before three o'clock that morning the safe had been burs6 open, about one hundred thousand dollars abstracted, and the bogus policeman and the model sergeant had all departed quietly, one by one, leaving the living bundle still tied and gagged upon the floor.
 Just as he started of the model ser geant had stepped up to the living bun dle and warned him on his life not to dare to move for an hour. This was ad- ding insult to injury, for the watchman couldn't have moved if he wanted to, or dared to, ever so much, and wasn't able to stir, not only for an hour, but for five hours, and even till the bank people came to the establishment in the regu- lar way of duty. @.~
 What circus there was wh en the facts became known, and how mad the president of the bank was, not only at the robbery, but at the way of it.
 For it was the bank president himself who had received the boss robber of the gang and had begged him to take lunch. It was through the bank pres; dents or ders that the thieves had been admitted to the bank, and worst of all, it was the presidents pet wine that had gone down the theives' gullets just before the robbery.
 That bank president never thoroughly got over that bank robbery, and he lost all taste after it for his pet wine.

How To Fatten Turkeys.

Nothing pays better to send to market in prime condition than the turkey crop. Many farmers do not understand this. Their turkeys grow on limited range. get no food at home through the summer, and if fed with regular ity it:is only for two or three weeks be- fore killing. I see these lean, bony carcasses in the local market every win ter, and feel sorry for the owners loss. They have received small price for their birds, and still smaller price for the food fed out. The average life of a turkey is only seven months, and the true economy of feeding is to give the chicks all they can digest from
 the shell to the slaughter. If they get
 all they can eat on the range that is
 W ell. Usually this should be supple
 mented by regular rat,ons when they come from the roost m the morning, and two or three hours before they go
 to roost at night The, food may be slack in the morning.. so that they will
 go to the range with good appetites,
 and fuller at night. They should be
 put upon 8 regular course of fattening
 food as early as the middle of October,
 when you propose killing the best birds
 at Thanksgiving. The younger and
 lighter birds should be reserved for the
 Christmas and New Years markets.
 They continue growing quite rapidly
 until mid-winter, and you will be paid for the longer feeding. There is noth- ing, better for fattening than old corn, fed partly in the kernel and partly in cooked meal mashed up with boiled po- tatoes. Feed three times day giving the warm meal in the morning, and feeding in troughs with plenty of room, so that all the flock may have chance. Northern corn has more oil in it than Southern, and is worth more for turkey food. Use milk in fattening if you have 8 dairy farm. Feed only so much as they will eat up clean. Cultivate the acquaintance of your turkeys as you feed them. No more charming sight greets your vision in the whole circle of the year than a large flock of bronze turkeys coming at call from their roosts on a frosty November morning. New corn is apt to make the bowels loose, and this should be guarded against There is usually green food enongh in the fields to meet their wants in the fall, and cabbage and turnips. need not be added until winter sets in. 1.-the bow els get loose give them scalded milk, which will generally correct the evil. ell-fattened and well-dressed turkeys will bring two or three cents pound more than lean birds. It will not only be better for the purse, but for your manhood to send nothing but finished products to the Market. = Michigan Farmer.

A Combination Against Drummers.

With intense disgust will travelling salesmen, otherwise known as drum mers, read that 8 number of Western merchants have agreed to purchase no more goods from them. In the letter which the merchants send to the firms represented by drummers, the occa- sional convenience of the travelling salesman is conceded, but complaint is made that he consumes too much time, will not take "No" for an answer, and insists that he knows better than the merchant what the latter shall order. How many drummers will forsake the road on the strength of this hint re- mains to be seen. Some of the frater- nity have a quality of cheek that the most brazen tramp would envy, and they will not take hint from any one who does not back his suggestions with a shot gun; but it is quite sure that merchants now represented by drum mers will not regret change in the present method of selling goods. In many an establishment the drummer
 
 absorbs the lions share of the profits and acts as go-between so successfully that the merchant never sees the deal CTS who purchase his goods; yet when the drummer disagrees with his princi- pal and goes elsewhere or becomes a principal himself he carries his trade with him. Some New York firms have thus been ruined by their employees. Sometimes the drummer is not 8 bad fellow to meet on the road, unless the man who meets him keeps a country store. He can name the best hotel in every town, tell the exact time from any place to any other, and inform a trav- eler where to buy cigars that are not noxious. His assortment of stories, al- though not available for use in religious circles, is quite unlike anything that one finds at home. Still, business is business; the merchant is entitled to his profit and the rural dealer to peace of mind; so withdrawal of the drum mer to his original point of departure will greatly gratify those most con- cerned and grieve only railroad ticket agents and the owners of country hotels.
