two weeks previously had been so marked feature
Of the dealings The absence of that kind of support
today was more marked than il was on any preced-

more general distribution Of stocks among
the room traders and the Offices of the Street than
there wa two weeks ago, and that the large short
interest of that period has been virtually closed up

PAY THE PRINTER.

When the cold storm howl around the
door,
And you, by the light Of taper,
Sit closely by the evening fire,
Enjoying the last paper,
Just think of him whose work thus
helps
To wear away the Winter,
And put this query to yourself
Have | paid the printer
From East and West, from North and
South,
From lands beyond the water,
He weekly brings you lots o. news.
From every nook and quarter;
No slave on earth tolls more than he,
Through Summer heat and Winter.
How can you for a moment, then,
Neglect to pay the printer2
Your other bills you promptly pay
Wherever you do 60, sir;
The butcher for his meat is paid,
For suRdries is the grocer;
The tailor and the shoemaker,
The halter and the winter,
All get their pay-then why neglect
To settle with the printer2

STORING POTATOES FOR WIN
TER. Many of our readers have a
surplus of potatoes this fall, and not
being satisfied with the price offer
ed, desire to store them in the best
and most economical method, and
take the risk of gettiag a higher rate
next spring.
If you have a dry, we'll ventilated
cellar sufficient size you can scarce
ly do better than to store them there.
1t is an advantage however, to put
them in large shallow bins made
with Stats, nailed an inch or two
apart, and raised a few inches from
the floor to allow of circulation of
the air among the potatoes. One
such bin can be set upon another, if
necessary, without injury, if a few
inches is left between by means of
boards or scantling.
If it is necessary to store them in
pits or piles out of doors, a high, dry
place should be chosen, and the spot
should be scrape1 smooth and drain
ed, SO that no water can get into or
under the heap. The pile should be
a neat cone in shape, and should be
covered first with straw and then
with earth, to the depth of six or
eight inches in alternate layers. -Er.
