The Increase of Celibacy

Mr.. Dana has INDUCED in some reflections
on the increase of ceibacv in New England
and the Middle States His reflections are
not without interest:
Formerly in New England bachelor of
thirty or more was a marked individual, and
especially in the smaller towns was subjected
was offended when man went much beyond
the marriageabe age without taking a wife.
and he was pretty sure TO become a butt or
an object of suspicion among his neicbbors
But now all that is changed wherever there
are not MANY foreigners in a community
There is nm actual and n nronortionate de-
crease in the number of marriages. and the
falling off was greater last wear than ever he
fore. The Connecticut town clerks saw that
at least half of the voung men between
twentv-one and thirty are unmarried. whereas
formerly nine in ten married before thew were
twenty-six. OF course. the reason for this
disposition to nut off marriage is the conyic-
ton of the Young men that they can aceumu-
late more money. or get more nersonal COM
fort, by so DELAYING. They do not want TO
be hampered by A wife and family while thew
are LAYING the foundations of a fortune. but
are waiting until they get an income large
enough To enable them to live nicely
The longer they wait the less are they
disposed to assume matrimonial respon-
sihilities. for few of them get the amount
of money they think they need to support a
family. and their personal wants are. likely TO
go on increasing with their incomes This
state of things is not at all peculiar to Con-

DisDOsing of Early Potatoes.

1t is the manner of disposing of a crop
which makes the profit. in nearly all
cases. but especially is this true in regard
to early potatoes. To get the best price,
these must be in the market as soon as
possible a week will give one an oppor-
tuni:y of disposing of a whole crop before
competitor can bring in his produce,
and the prices fall. New potatoes are
easily damaged; the skin slips readily,
and this spoils their appearance, and, OF
course, their value. The use of conven
lent package for the potatoes, in which
they can be handled and carried to the
consumer, brings them to him in the incest
possible shape. Purchasers like too see
neat, clean packages, and are pleased to
know when they contain full measure.
A splint basket makes an excellent pack
age. but is not economical of room, and
one basket cannot be set upon another
without rubbing the potatoes. If the bas-
kets are made square, with straight sides,
they are better. But wooden box is
more durable and convenient. 1t should
be l6 inches long, ID IA inches wide, and
Is inches deep; this makes one heaped
bushel when the box is level full, contain
ing 2752 cubic inches. Such boxes lie
close together in a wagon box. and nc
space is lost,-American Agriculturia

1t should not be forgotten that frequent
cultivation of the soil helps the growth oil
crops very much. Cultivation is not for
the sole purpose of killing weeds, but to
break up and loosen the surface of the
soil and encourage growth. In wet
weather this causes the ground to absorb
the rain, and in dry weather it helps the
soil to retain the moisture which it has ac-
cumulated. These two facts are so well
known and have been so thoroughly es-
tablshed by practice and scientific expert.
ment that farmers need have no doubt in
regard to them Moreover, the cultiva
ton should be deep at first and in the mid
die of the row should be shallow after
ward, and so worked as to keep the sur
tace as level as possible.
