If potatoes are wet when dug, as they are
apt to be late in the season, a little fresh lime
scattered over the heap as they are put into
the cellar will dry them. DO otput in deep
bins or even barrels at first, as this will con-
fine moisture where there is no circulation
of air to dry it out. A slide made with Stats
one inch apart, with boards set edgewise
will clear off most of the dirt ahereing to
the potatoes when dumped into the cellar.
The best way to stow them is in bushel
boxes, which may be filled and piled one
on another to the top of the cellar, if neces-
sary. This allows some circulation of air,
and makes the potatoes less liable TO rot.

FOR TELLING HORSES AGES.

The full-grown horse possesses twenty
back teeth, that is, six in each side of each
Jaw; these are called molars or grinders.
He has twelve front teeth, that is, six in
each jaw. Mares have no tushes. The fOal
has either at his birth or shortly afterward
eight milk teeth, that is four in each jaw;
at about 12 months two more milk teeth
come in each jaw. These remain unchang-
ed till he is years old. The mouth of the
yearling and 2-year old cannot be confound-
ed. The yearling mouth shows no signs OF
use, and the corner teeth are shells only; at
years old these teeth are strong and well
grown and the cornerteeth filledup. A little
before 3 years the two centre teeth of each
law fall out and are replaced by permanent
teeth. A little before the two teeth on
each side of the centre teeth are replaced
by permanent ones. A little before the
two remaining are shed, and in their place
come permanent ones. The upper milk
teeth usually fall out first.
Thus the mouth is completed as to its
front teeth the corner tooth, however, is
but imperfectly developed, being at present
shell only; this she'll at years old has
filled up and is complete tooth. This is
the difference between a 5 and 6 year old.
The tushes appear between 81 and years
old, and they take nearly two years to arrive
at their full growth. These teeth, as the
horse grows older, get blunter and shorter,
and so, to an experienced judge, are sure
indication of age. Up to years ola the
mouth is in distinct and periodical state OF
structional change. There is no difficulty
in determining the age up to that date.
After that the age must be judged by the
shape of the mouth and the appearance of
the teeth called the mark. At 6 years of
age the cups leave two centre teeth above,
at the next two above, at the outer-or
corner teeth above.
At9 the two centre teeth below lose the
cuts, at 10 the next two below, and at II the
outer or corner teeth below. After a little
practice the close observer can scarcely make
a mistake. The changes that occur are the
same in all horses, or nearly so.-Sportsnaan.

we are disappointed in the efficiency or in
the character of the hand thus employed.
Such loose way Of doing business does
not pay in any affair, and would not be
followed il any other except in hiring
help. A hand who is to have charge OF
farm, or to help in the care of the stock,
should be kind and careful, one who will
not in any way abuse an animal under any
circumstances, or neglect to properly feed
and attend to it's wants; and the farmer
should inform himself upon these points
concerning the man whom he is about to
hire. The man should be one who will be
faithful to the farmers interest, steady,
aud not be wanting to run half the time,
and. especially, just when work is crowd
ing the hardest. The success of the farm
and the crops depends very much upon the
employment Of sober, Industrious, intelli-
gent, arid faithful hands. xad.gno others
should 30 tolerated on well regulated
farm. Now, we hope that this question
will receive from farmers generally the
attention it's Importance deserves. and
that the character. faithfulness and capa-
biIities of the one seeking employment
will decide the question either for or
against him.

more than the earth abstracts it, is an al

short. it is entirely in Difference to fashion
and the usages of society that children
wear foot coverings. There is much to be-
said in favor of more natural practice.
The foot is an organ of wondrous COM

apparatus. 1t is, moreover, provided with
nerves and blood vessels of special intri-
cacy. The softest and most flexible shoe,
to very great extent, and boot almost

movement. Obviously this reduction must
detract not only from the efficiency of the
foot, but of the organism as whole. If
the blood vessels of the foot and leg are
fully developed, as they can only be when
the foot is habitually exposed, the guam
tity Of blood which the lower extremities
can be made to receive and, if need be, at
tract for time, is very considerable.
We can only say that children who are
allowed to 60 barefooted enjoy almost
perfect immunity from the danger of

and they are altogether healthier and hap

the usages of social life, have their lower
extremities permanently invaded. and,
SO to say, carefully swathed and put
away in rigid cases. AS regards the poorer
classes of children, there can be no sort of
doubt in the mind of any age that it is in
comparably better that they should go
barefooted than wear boots that let in the

Every farmer owes it to his family and to
himself. to look at this moral side of the
question first. and to let it have the great

are other considerations also which should

Driving at Night.

How to illuminate road in front of
the horses IN driving at night is an impor.
tant matter.
The usual side lamps on carriages, or
the attaching of a lamp to the dash board,
fail to reflect the light where 1t is most
wanted, and the suspending of lantern
from the front axle is Objectionable for
many reasons, but is the best plan for
shedding the light where it is most need
ed that we have seen tried.
But a Philadelphia physician suggest,
the attaching of the lantern to the breast
collar of the HARNESS, which he saws he
has tried with perfect satisfaction: and
he has evidently had some experience with

Evils of Solitude.

Said physician noted for his skill in
curing nerve diseases: "There is certain
healthy, helpful influence which naturally
comes from human beings to each other.
One of my patients drained all which his
friends had to give years ago. We need
occasionally fresh moral and mental
atmosphere, just as much as fresh mate
rial air to breathe" Another physician,
visiting in country house where the
mother, delicate, affectionate, self-sacri-
icing woman, who lived but for her hus-
band and children, lay ill, with no disease,
apparently, but extreme weakness and
and WEAKNESS, ordered her to go to the
city alone; spend a month in absolute

crowds OF people who were interested and
