KILLING POTATOES. is some differ
ence of opinion as to the merit Of the level sys-
tenn of cultivating potatoes The writer grew
some last year without any hilling whatever,
and the crop was in every respect as good
as any preceding crops that had been hilled:
Some writer's urge level cultivation for most
hoed crops, potatoes particularly. AS the po-
tato grows best in COOL moist weather, any
method of culture which encourages GOODNESS
and moisture is beneficial, while on the con-
trary, any method of culture which encour-
ages dryness and heat is injurious. If this
reasoning be correct, then it must be admitted
that hilling is wrong, for it seems impossible
that any can fail to see that land which is
hilled offers more surface to the sun and air,
that while the hills where the potatoes are
expected to grow, will easily dry through, the
hollows between having had all the pulverized
earth scraped off, backed so hard that the
moisture from below is rapidly conducted up
to the air; thus in two ways is the ground
losing it's GOODNESS and moisture by hilllng.
But so far as potatoes are concerned, great
deal will depend on the nature of the ground.
In low land it is often essential to hill up.

WHY SMALL HORSES "A recent writer
says the reason why small horses are preferred
in the Eastern States, is that everything else
is on small scale. In the first place, the stock
of grain to feed from is smaller, and the Eas-
tern farmer doesn't want horse that will ''eat
him out of house and home" Then, none OF
his equipments are fitted to the large horse.
No collar will fit the shafts and wagon poles
are too short the stalls are all too marrow,
and even the small bridges on and about the
farm are too weak for him. Everything is
built on smaller scale, and the large horse is
therefore an awkward animal to have about
the farm.

SELECTING FLouR.-A poor barrel of flour
is a source of waste, as well as extreme annoy
ance to the housewife. The best family flour
has slightly yellow tinge and the bread made
from it is more substantial than from most OF
the brands of pastry flour. For an inexperi-
enced young housekeeper a safe plan is to pur-
chase bag of the kind desired, then when
good quality has been obtained, insist upon the
barrel being of the same grade. If it fails
to come up to the right standard, return it.
Grocers soon learn not to palm off an inferior
article upon one who is in earnest in the matter.
Flour that is dark in color, and when the
dough made from it fiattens out instead OF
rising up light and puffy, is made from grown
grain and has not the good quality. Some
times barrel of the favorite brand will not
hold true to name, and will prove of inferior
quality. 1t is we'll for the housekeeper to
personally supervise the making of the first
one or two patches of bread from new barrel
of flour, that it may be well tested and not
condemned unreasonably.

SALTING BUTTER.-Prof. Arnold says that
the best rule for sailing butter is to salt it to
suit the taste of the consumer. There is no
use of applying any particular amount of salt
for the purpose of preserving butter; because
the lightest salt is always more than sufficient
for all the effect salt can have as preservative
element. Generally, one ounce of salt to six
teen ounces of butter, so to obscure in meas
ure any faulty taste is sufficient. If the flavor
is very fine it will not be desirable to change
it, but on the contrary, to give it more prom
inence hence, the less salt, say one ounce to
twenty of butter, the better.

MANURE THE GARDEN.-The cost of doing
this is so trihing, that it is matter of wonder
that those who desire fair harvest of fruits
or vegetables do not treat the soil more liber-
ally in this respect. Before getting seeds,
plants, splittings or cuttings, get manure
Study the character of the soil and seek to
give it the manure best calculated to enrich it,
stable manure. Let it be we'll worked into
the SOIL 1t is of little use to a gardener to
throw it upon the ground and leave it. Let
there be as thorough pulverization as possible
and then intermixture of the manure, and the
land will show it's gratitude in the results.

HORSE AND CATTLE EDIsEAsES.-There is
scarcely malady to which the horse is sub
ject which isnot hereditary. Contracted feet,
curb, SPAWN, roaring, thick wind and blind
ness notoriously descend from sire to dam.
Cattle being less exposed to the existing causes
of disease, are not subject to so great variety
of maladies, and those which they have are
less violent in character than in the case of a
horse, but they are equally transmssable and
should be avoided the care by the breeder.

PURE AIR IN BEDRooMs.-A little care in
the way of supplying bedrooms with fresh and
wholesome air will prevent bilious derange-
ments, headaches, and fevers often. Let the
air in at place where the draft will not pass
over the body. Summer air does no injury,
but the winter atmosphere, differing only in
temperature, may not be safely treated the
same way, simply because the temperature, OF
the body in room is so much higher than that
of cold winter air. The point is to get all the
fresh air you need to keep the atmosphere of
the room pure, but keep out of the draft.
