AGRICULTURE.

POTATOES FOR PLANTINa.--Eew ope-
rations on the farm receive SO little at
tention as the selection and keeping Of
potatoes for planting, yet the success OF
the crop depends very much on the con-
dtion OF the potatoes planted. How
often We hear farmers complain that
their potatoes do not come up we'll or
that they fail to make d vigorous growth
usually attributing it to the state of the
weather. when in many cases the trou-
ble Is with the potatoes planted. In Sc
lectlng and keeping potatoes one impor-
tant taot is usually entirely overlooked,
which is, that the potato is not the seed
therefore is more liable to be injured by
Keeping. Most of seeds are covered
with q hard substance which protects
them from the light and the sudden
changes of temperature, if kept in dry
place; but the potato being simply a
TUDOR hos no suoh protection, therefore
is very sensitive to light and variations
OF temperature, even though kept Ill a
dry place. In fact, a potato is similar
to the root of tree when severed from
the tree, which we are so careful to keep
IN dark, cool place if we wish to keep
1T in healthy condition and grow we'll
When set in the ground. The potato
may endure more than the root of a tree
without completely losing It's vitality,
but it suffers i'll the same way and, ii
not entirely killed, is injured in some
degree by being kept where it is too
hot, too cold or too dry. If it is kept
too hot it sprouts badly, and thus loses
its vitality, never again producing such
vigorous stalks rs come from the first
sprouts. II kept where it is so cold as
to chill it, it is worse than keeping It
where it is too warm, as it does not take
much OF chill to prevent it from grow
ing Mt oil. The farmer in selecting po-
tatoes for planting should ever keep in
mind that ho Is dealing with tnbers, and
not with seed, therefore size and form
is3ot so important rs health. When he
sele2ts scions he cares more to have
goodNpuds and healthy shoot than he
does for the particular form; and in
keepiBg his scions he uses great care to
Keep Xlem where it il cool, and neither
too w nor too dry. The same princi-
pie WI 6ch holds good in the scion applies
to the potato, especially that which ap-
Plies 70 the strength of the buds and the
healt Of the shoot or the tuber. AS
the bbtato when planted is simply tho
renewal of the old life, it carries with it
ma4y of the diseases which it may have
gDAhered up. while seed only carries
with it the constitutional weakness of
tho parent. Thus the Importance of Sc
Letting potatoes as free as possible from
disease and of keeping them where they
will loso none of their vitality.

FRUIT EATING When fruit docs harm
it is because 1T is eaten at improper
times, in improper quantities, or before
1T is ripened and not fit for human stom-
achs. A distinguished physician has
said that II his patients would mako q
practice of eating couple of good oran :

What the Barometer Knows.

Higher barometer means that the
mercury is rising and lower barom'
eter that it is falling.
Higher pressure is synonymous
with higher barometer, and lower
pressure with lower barometer. In
case of higher barometer it indica.
tes a colder and contracting atmos-
phere and consequently diminu.
tion of moisture.
A lower barometer indicates an
expanding atmosphere with greater
capacity for holding moisture.
In case Of rising barometer it In
dicates a decrease of moisture and
diminishes the liability for rain.
A falling barometer indicates an
increased amount of moisture and
greater liability for rain, and with il
we have an increase in cloudiness.
When the barometer rises in
cloudy weather it is generally an
indication that the clouds will break
and be followed with fair weather.
A sudden change in the barom-
eter either rising or falling, is a fair
indication of approaching high
winds.
At sunset if the sun goes down be-
hind or is obscured by a bank OF
clouds with a falling barometer, rain
will follow in nineteen cases out of
twenty on the succeeding day. II
the sun be obscured at its setting by
clouds, with a rising barometer and
cooler winds, the chances are nine
teen to twenty no rain will fall on
the succeeding day.

Blinkers.

The question has often been asked
"Why do horses wear blinkers ?'
We cannot answer the question. 1t
seems to us that they are useless,
ugly, and, to some extent injurious
to the eyesight. The most beautiful
feature of the horse is its eye. Ifit
were not "hid from our gaze" it
would serve to denote sickness, pain
or pleasure. Many a time would a
driver spare the whip on seeing the
animals imploring eye. The argu-
ment in favor of blinkers is, we be-
lieve, that horses are afraid of pass
ing carriages. This objection. if
valid, is of little weight, as such tim
idity would soon be overcome. We
trust, now the cruel bearing rein has
been cast aside, that biinkers will
also be abandoned-a course which
would, we feel assured, be attended
with advantage to both man and
horse.-Ldncet.
