The order OF the day is, sowing oats and

nature of things, this year we are going to
have a good crop, and l think q fhzmss

The odd Fellows are putting up a large
building in Berlin. The first floor is to con-
sist of store-rooms and Offices, the second
floor of a town hall, and the third floor of q
hall for the Lodge. Ceptain Floto is the
contractor and has a lot of hands at work
putting up the foundation When this
building is completed it will be an honor to

/ see the Senate passed a biz allowing the
following bounties: so for the scalp of q
wolf, 81 for the scalps of a wild cat and fox,
so cents for the. scalp ola mink, skunk, wea-
sci or hawk. Perfectly right, gentlemen,
your constituents certainly approve of such
a bin. for if this bill becomes a law, more
efforts will be made TO get rid Of these ours
ed pests. But then the bill omits some of the
worst pests, and therefore, l shall suggest
the following amendment, which l hope
our law makers will annex to the original
bill and pass it right along. Amendment I:
$40 for the scalp of every book agent. be-
cause they are about equal to a wolf; $50
for the scalp of every patent medicine ped
dler; $40 for the scalp of each peddler of
anything else, and $50 for the scalp of each
tramp. BY passing the above bill as amend
ed, L hope we shall soon get rid of these
worse than 'darn'd" pests.

Nov % CIT Po,ntoes for seed

DR.. Sturtevant has been dissecting
the potato, and fluids it put together
something like the cone of a pine tree,
the buds or eyes Of a potato being
connected by a sort Of umbilical cord
with the centre Of the potato, at which
point is the core Of central stem.
These internal stems or veins may be
plainly seen 10 the raw potato by
cutting in thin slices from stem to
seed end, and holding up to the strong
light of lamp. The appearance
will be something like the frost work
of our window panes on winter morn
ings. After the starch grains are
bursted by cooking, these veins prob.
ably disappear, or are less visible. The
new theory is that the potato should
be so cut as to keep the connection
between the eye and the centre Of the
tuber. The experiments for the past
season showed that an eye cut shallow
in every case, gave a smaller yield
than when it was cut long or deep, so
as to reach the centre Of the potato.
