Storing Sweet Potatoes.

The most common and most successful
way Of storing away sweet potatoes fol
winter keeping in this latitude is to put
up in dust There are other modes
which have their advocates.
In the summer when the dust is very
dry | take as many barrels or boxes as
shall want to fill with potatoes and FL
them with road dust and put them away
in dry place to keep until | dig my
potatoes. prefer digging before frost.
| dig them and let them dry in the su Il
a day; then they are stored away in a
cool place; they are spread singly over
the floor SO as not to heat or sweat ;
when cold weather sets in they are tax
en- and stored in the cellar, cover the
bottom of the barrel or box with about
three inches of dust, then a layer of
potatoes close as they can be not to
touch them; cover them with dust,
then potatoes, and so on, until the bar
rel or box is nearly full; then fill up
with dust. In this way potatoes will
keep through most any winter. | find
this the best way to keep sweet pota-
toes over winter. Correspondence Farm

The Indian Summer.

If there is time when the American
of to-day recalls the red-skinned men
who preceded him in this land he now
calls his own, it is during those few
days Of stiffness and beauty which bear
the name Of the vanished race Work
is over in the fields. They are ready
for their winter rest The leaves are
gone. The trees are ready, too. The
last red apple is gathered. Men and
the squirrels together have cleaned the
last nut. There is nothing to be done !;
and he wing, with delicate imagination,
walks abroad, or drives slowly along
country roads, finds himself thinking, in
the stiffness, of those who roved over
the same ground not many years ago,
and tardily gathered in at this season
their crops of corn beside the rivers,
gave to the beautiful golden purpled
hued days the name they bear.
Through the naked woods he sees them
stealing, bow in hand. On the stream
he sees their birch-bark canoes The
smoke in the atmosphere must surely
rise from the hidden camp-fres. They
have come back to their old haunts
from the happy hunting grounds for
these few golden days. Is it not the
Indian summer?

AGRICULTURAL.

Born the fly and the mosquito are
great scavengers in infancy, the one
purifying the air we breathe, the other
the water we drink. They perform, in
this way, an indirect service to man
which few perhaps appreciate, and
which somewhat atones for their bad
habits in maturity.

mould and subjected to a chemical pre-
paration. It will last longer than the

months the lateral permanent incisors
are cut, and the first, second and third

What sad, strange story it is. The

squalor, and privation, passing suddenly
into blaze of European fame-the

thought laid at the feet of one whom
they looked upon as. "a thing inspired

young spirit after excellence in her art
and the triumphs there, which were more

Manure Heaps.

Some experiments have recently been
conducted in :he old country, with a
view of ascertaining the best methods OF
preserving manure so as to retain the
more valuable ingredients. In one of
these experiments the manure was al
lowed to accumulate under the cattle
for long period-three months or more
in specially constructed deep stalls.
1t was found that in every case the
manure so formed was, as compared
with that of the manure heaps, in more
workable condition, the ammoniacal
salts were better preserved, and all
useful ingredients were present in
greater proportion.

"I'll Ma Trust Ye."

Two centuries ago, in the Highlands
of Scotland, to ask for a receipt or a
promissory note was thought an insult.
1t would have been resented as quick
ly as if one had said, II doubt your
honor" If parties had business mat
tiers to transact, they stepped into the
air, fixed their eyes upon the heavens,
and each repeated his obligation, with
no mortal witness. A mark was then
carved on some rock or tree near by as
remembrance of the compact Such
thing as breach of contract was rare
ly met with, SO highly did the people
regard their honor.
When the march of improvement
brought along the new mode of doing
business, they were often panied by
these innovations. An anecdote is
handed down of farmer who had been
TO the Lowlands, and learned worldly
wisdom.
On returning to his native parish he
had need of sum of money, and made
bold to ask loan of gentleman of
means, named Stewart. This was kind
ly granted, and Mr.. S. counted out the
gold.
This done the farmer wrote a receipt,
and offered it to Mr.. S.
"What is this, man ?" cried Mr.. s.,
cycling the slip of paper.
'.It is receipt sir, binding me to give

Whereupon he gathered it up, put it
back in the desk, and turned the key
upon it.
But, sir, / must die replied the
canny Scotchman, bringing up an argu-
ment in favor of his new wisdom, land
