Much improvement has been made dur

of colored or stained glass were fitted.
Now very beautiful portraits, landscapes
and other paintings are produced upon
large sheets of glass, with paints and

varied designs. Glass painting is carried
on more extensively and brought nearer
to a point of perfection in the cities of
Munich, Nuremberg, Paris, Birmingham

A Norwegian Farmers Vehicle.

The cariole is the Norwegian farmers
gig. very unpretending vehicle, con-
sisting of narrow seat supported on a
wooden frame by two cross-b bars of wood
which are fixed in the shafts and serve as
rude springs. On this tiny seat the soli-
tary traveller perches himself, his feet
stretched out in front of him on the floor
of the gig or planted in two small rests
at some depth below the seat. Behind
the gig is horizontal board, on which
the travellers small box or portmanteau
is deposited. and where the post boy
(Skyds9ut) has to accommodate himself.
In addition to this cariole proper, or sin
gle gig, there is double one, (the Rel
SEX jaerre), often used by travelling pairs.
But the cariolc is the earlier and better
institution. Two persons with the ne
cessary quantity of luggage are quite
weight enough to be behind one of the
small Norwegian horses on road which
is pretty certain to be rough in places
and to have some sharp declivities. The
cariole seems, too, by far the more APP
propriate vehicle for this wild and soil
tary country. 1t is kind of land canoe,
by means of which one may easily
part company with "the madding
crowd" and penetrate into the perfect
scclusion of primeval nature. For the
postboy is, as a rule, given to silence and
close attention to his horse, and, being
out of sight, is readily forgotten. To
one who finds a keen delight in now and
then getting rid of customary associa.
tons and immersing his mind in wholly
new surroundings hardly anything can
be better than jogging along in a cariole
on fine summer day. One soon gets used
to the odd bobbing movement of the lit
tie vehicle.-INe SatNrda4 Repien.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Preparing Potatoes for seed.


There exists great diversity of opin
ION as to the best method of pre- airing
potatoes for seed. Some farmers main
tain that the seed should be planted
whole: others believe in the Conceive
system, while others again cut the tu6ers
into pieces containing two or more ewes,
The difference of yield between large
and small potatoes (whole seed) is a
matter of some importance. Results
gained for 1882 and 1888 on the expert
mental grounds of the Ohio Agricultural
station and reported by the director,
Professor Lazenby, so far as Weld was
concerned, appeared to favor large seed.
In 1882 Burbanks, large, whole seed,
gave 301.5 bushels per acre, and the same
variety, small seed, 1914 bushels per acre,
a difference of 1918 bushels per acre in
favor of large seed. Comparing this with
the work of 1888, large seed gave yield
OF 1887 bushels per acre, and small seed
2OS.1, difference of 500 bushels pei
acre. But the amount of seed required
to plant an acre must be taken into con.
slderation before pronouncing in favor OF
either method. OF large potatoes about
thirty bushels are required to plant an
acre, varying with size; and of small
potatoes about ten bushels. The expense
OF planting an acre is an important item
II seed Is costly. The percentage OF
unmarketable potatoes should also be
taken into consideration. The above
comparison also applied to "Snowflakes. y
The station also presents the results of
Its tests, during two years, with whole
potatoes and the same cut to one eve.
Before giving the figures Professor Laz-
enDy makes few comments that may
aid in forming proper conclusions. The
small cuttings were planted just as far
apart in the row as the whole potatoes.
For exact comparison this affords good
basis, but it does not indicate what can
be practically accomplished by the diff
ferent methods of using seed. To illus
trate; Twelve inches apart in the row is
as close as, and possibly closer than,
whole seed should be planted. If whole
potatoes can be planted twelve inches
apart seed cut to one eye can certainly
be planted more closely, and thus more
full ~ occupy the entire ground. This is
an important consideration in favor of
small cutting. By taking advantage of
these facts and by thoroughly preparing
the soil wonderful results have been pro
duced from the method of cutting the
seed. The enormous saving of seed is
also a very important matter, though
this is in part balanced by the expense of
cutting. The variety used by the station
was Burbanks, and the potato was care
fully cut to one eye-the seed end not
being used.
Inc yield from large whole potatoes,
1or 1852 and 1888, was, as before given,
oOl.5 bushels and 1857 bushels per
acre, respectively; and of seed cut to one
eye, for the same years, 1874 bushels and
1851 bushels, respectively. The per
centge of small potatoes for 1888 was
a0oIt three per cent. greater with large
whole potatoes than with the small cut
tlngs. Attention is also called to the
fact that the former ripened nine days
earlier than the later.-NeD York World.
