be allowed to remain in the ground for any
considerable length of time after they are
fully ripe.
It is poor economy TO allow them to re-
damage by frost or slight freezing that we
are liable to have at any time after the LIST
of October. OF course, there is no certainty
when we will have frost, but it may come
when We are poorly prepared for it, and
hence it is good policy to have everything
in readiness that can well be done.
If possible dig when the soil is dry. If
the sell is wet the dirt sticks to the potatoes
and you are obliged to handle considerable
more dirt than is strictly necessary. L have
always found it good plan to sort pota-
toes as fast as they are dug and then
throw them directly into baskets or
boxes. 1t saves considerable handling
and is preferable to throwing them
into piles and then being obliged
to pick them up again. If potatoes are to
be jutted out you will save time by clean
ing off place in the field and spreading on
layer of straw, and as fast as the baskets or
boxes are filled they can be carried to the
place and emptied where they are to remain !;
this will save handling. Care should always
be taken not to bruise the potatoes any more
than strictly necessary. In sorting over
throw out all that are scabby or have rotten
spots IN them. 1t is poor economy to save the
small potatoes; better throw them out and
Ieeu Tue STOCK. 1OeY are more prOUIdOle IOr
feeding than for anything else, and are
worth less for seed than anything else. If
you can not afford to feed them then boil
them with the skins on and eat them. They
are worth more to eat than to plant. If you
want to save seed for spring planting select
medium-sized smooth potatoes of good shape
and as clean, so far as regards spots or
scabs are concerned, as possible. Give
them a reasonable time to dry. II there is
danger OF frost at night cover well with straw
or old sacks. After they are well dried cover
over with straw and then with soil to
be sure of not freezing during winter. The
soil should be at least eighteen inches thick.
Even then it is good plan later on beforC
the coolest weather sets in to apply an aodI
tional covering of straw or coarse manure.
1t is often a question which is the mos
profitable, to market in the fall or put away
until spring. Ny rule is there is a genera
good crop and prices rule low, if 1 can realizs
fifty cents per bushel will sell in preference
to keeping over; while il the crop is ligh
generally, and yet from local causes the pric'
is low, prefer to store away. Considering
the risks, from freezing and rotting, / wOulC
prefer selling at fifty cents in the fall L
holding until spring for seventy-hve.
1t is not good economy to sell of so Low
that YOU will be obliged to buy for your owl

PARTING.

You saw me safely up the hill
THE day was almost SPENT.
And there you told me you must go;
We parted, and you went.
But stood still and watched the WOODS
Glow with the setting sun,
And gazed upon the little path
That you were winding down.
And there the spiTe among the trees
Still in the sunlight cleaned,
But turned down the other side,
And oh, how dark il seemed
I've parted with You sol
Ny heart dwells on the hilltop yet,
And gazes down below.

Cholera Experiments on Animals.

CnOlera Experi meutS Animals.
Some interesting and. as some may deem,
cruel experiments, writes q correspondent
have just been tried at Marseilles with a vie
to ascertain how far dumb animals are sus-
ceptlble of choleraic poison. The expert
mentors were Drs. Meati, a Swiss physician
and Rietsch, the victims three dogs and four
guinea pigs. Provided with the necessary
appliances, these gentlemen, following the
example of DR.. Koch, who visited their lab
orstory and favored them with his advice
gathered thousands of cholera microbes
from the intestines of still warm bodies
which the authorities placed at their dis
posal, and submitted the creators OF the fell
disease to various tests, the results of which
will be made public for the benefit OF science
The dogs and guinea pigs were inoculated
with bacilli, always with success. The
creatures operated upon were invaria-
bly, seized with diarrhea aud cramp
and otherwise showed the same symptoms as
mark the malady in mankind. The guinea
pigs died in forty eight hours at the utmost
the dogs in four days. The guinea pigs in
other respects manifested much grea ier sus
ceptibility to the virus than the dogs In
stead OF inoculating il the expe-imenters in
one Instance I'M ected the virus into the
guinea pigs intestinal canal. IL died Of
cholera To make the inoculation operate
more surely they also tied up the excretory
hillary duct and injected the virulent mat
ter in to the duodenum. In this way they
proved that bile is a hindrauce to the de-
veloDment OF the microbes. In the blood OF
"cholerized" guinea pigs as in that OF man.
the giobules are so sOftened as to prevent
them from piling lsempiler), aud they be-.
come defOrmed by reciprocal compression
This popularity is common to various con
dIt1ons OF asphyxia- 1t is suggested that
practical conclusions may be drawn from
these facts For instance, the incubation of
dogs and guinea pigs is a sure way Of dag
nosing cholera. When, heDceforth a town
or country is threatened by the epidemic,
and doctors are in doubt as to the true char
acter OF a PATIENTS symptoms, they may
obtain positive knowledge within few
hours by injecting directly into a guinea
pigs duodenum part of the contents of the
patients intestinal canal. A second conclu-
sion concerns prophylactic against cholera.
The gastric Juice and the bile are capable of
destroying the microbes, and these two secre-
tons are largely excreted in the process of
digestion rendered necessary by meal, but
they are hardly excreted at all when liquid
alone passes through the stomach. Hence
contaminated water Il. much less dangerous
IL drunk with meal than when taken by
itself: The parts played by indigestion aud
diarrhea are of the same order, fact which
is regarded as decisive confirmation of the
relation between cholera and bacilli discov-
cred by DR.. Koch. Drs. Mesti aud Rietsch
repeated their experiments last week in the
Pharo laboratory before the hospital phvsi-
clan. the medical stude nts, and the delegates
from Barcelona.

The conscription during the war was
rigorous and severe. All able bodied
males from Is to 50 inclusive were subject
to military duty. Substitutes cost large
sum. Notwithstanding the watchfulness
and vigilance of the conscription scouts,

the way places and in the mountains.
They all now see their error in voting for
the secession ordinance. The bitter feeling
which existed against the Yankees, as they
call all Northerners, has gradually died

The Penna. R. r. Co., to accommodate
still another class of its patrons, has just
put in force New Regulations governing
School Tickets on the Camden and Allan
tic and West Jersey Railroads.
This liberal departure was made on Janu
ary Ist by the Pennsylvania Railroad Co
in striking out the restriction as to age from
the rules covering TIE issue of school tick
cts. Heretofore the sale of such commuta-
ton tickets was limited to pupils of educa
tional institutions under eighteen years O
age. This having been abolished, stu
dents, without regard to age, attending
elementary, scientific, or art schools, viii
entitled to purchase these tickets.
This is as it should be, and there is
little doubt that the advantage will be Sc
we'll appreciated by residents along the
line that the including of students ovel
eighteen will really result in an increased
revenue by virtue of the increase of travel
stimulated by the reduced rate,

TEMPERANCE.

Our readers of different ways of
thinking on the subject of prohibition
will find on our first page two columns
on Temperance. After this week we
will discontinue the column" arrange
ment,-to please those of our readers
who do not wish surfeit of any one
subject. Besides, our good friends of
the w. c. T. u. promising us to use
no personalities in their Column" :"
have violated this promise and last
week a "big white house" was dis
cribed even to the size and color of its
sign, that the owner might be "boy-
cotted." Of course we struck out the
worst feature of the sentence; but
enough escaped to show the animus.
We have not time to pick the "sting"
from regularly presented pieces, for
said Column" so will decline to
make room for it at present. This of
course will not prevent our real Tenn
perance people from having as usual
a hearing in this paper.
Probably the men who stand behind
this personal crusade in Woodstown,
are smarting under the defeat that
they encountered when bringing into
Salem Courts year ago their quarrel
with the proprietor of our public house.
Samuel French. owner of the Woods
town House kept his hotel in manner
to warrant the Judges in deciding the
case in his favor, withal the bitterest
assaults of his enemy or enemies. The
House now is in great favor with the
travelling public, and we have many
visitors on business or pleasure who
whenever they can will come to
Woodstown because of the excellent
accommodations furnished at the ho-
tel.
The time will come, and we hope IS
not far in the future, when the rum
traffic will be abolished; but the move
ment to do this must be by the
people, educated to see the baleful
effects of the traffic. Never will the
good cause of Temperance prosper
here or elsewhere, while spiteful, spas
modic efforts are made in the name Of
temperance. by persons not thoroughly
united, nor to be trusted as whole in
the good work undertaken. The
REGISTER will work as hitherto for
Temperance, but we cannot lend the
papers influence to stir up strife and
fight somebody's personal enemy.
