rralf.rsnryesting Potatoo..

Some housewives claim that q hill OF
growing potatoes may BIO dug into and
the largest OF tho tubcrs removed, not
only without injury, but with positive
benefit to the crop. OF course tho
work must be done quickly and caro-
fully, SO as not to expose tho roots to
sun and air. In covering up, throw on
llttlo moro earth than was taken away,
and compact it slightly with tho hoe.
The operation il very much like hoclng.
1t would not pay to harvest great
amount this way unless it was to got for
house use while potatoes woro not
otherwise obtainable. For market a
pretty high price would BIO needed to
make it pay, as most of the tubers re-
moved will grow moro if left longer at
tachcd 10 the stems. In many cases,
however, the vino is ovor- crowded, and
tho removal of the laycr may leave
needed room for tho smaller oncs to
develop. Il American Cullivator.

there arc some interesting points in

thirds OF the exhaustive physical labor
done in this country Is performed by
vegetable catcrs-that Is, by European
peasantry that grew up on vegetable
diet. A large part of our athletes are
1isllmcn and Scotchmcn, and in Ire
land and Scotland vcgetarianism is
practically universal among the poorer
classes-!hc classes that furnish the
athletes. Ev:n China and Japan, with
all their terrible poverty, even to the
point Of habitual starvation in their
lower classes, give us e:.'ilts and wrest-
lcrs; d of tho two better physical
conditions prevail in Japan. We get
the latter athletes from Japan, which is
even moro given to vegctarianism than

F.. a Widow nazcd by rser Wealth


There is u wealthy New York widow
who has church and chaplain of her
own. She is Mrs. Moses Taylor. Tho
church was built by hcrat Long Branch,
at u cost of about seventy thousand dol
lars. 1t is Presbyterian. This rclig-
ious, benevolent, and amiablc lady docs
not put on airs over being tho richest
widow in America. The fact is that
she and every body else were astonished
Iy the amount of fortune left to her.
On an appointo day the widow and tho
executors opened tho d oors OF the parti.
cularly solid vault which the old man
had built into his office. Tho inner
most compartment was large enough to
hold certificates of stock aud the like
securities without folding. There was
high stack of these papers, lying
neatly on top of ono another, un-
wrlnklcd and increased. They repro
scntcd Taylor's investments in hundreds
of railroads, banks, insurance compa-
mics, aud all manner OF the soundest
financial ventures. The amazed finders
OF this store of wealth handled them
over in half-dazcd way Tor an hour or
two. Then they set about making an
inventory. When they came to add the
totals it was seen that the market value
of the lot was about thirty million do
lars, and when other property was add
ed to this the aggregate reached forty
million dollars, or more than double the
current estimate. -[Chicago Times.

wet soils, fowl meadow grass, fox tail,
Pucy's rye, red top and alsike should DO
the pred ominating grasses.
For soiling purposes or for early hay
n mixture of orchard and meadow oat
grasses is worry desirable, as these are
the earliest and strongest'iu growth of
any cultivated for hay in this country.
So cary nro they that they are totally
unfit to grow with timothy, as both
would BIO ripe, hard, dry and almost
worthless tc!oro tho timothy would be
fit to cut. | have therefore excluded
thom from tho meadow mixtures just
named. l. II. Case, Of New Hartford,
Oneida county. has field OF mixed
orchard and oat grasses that he mows
twice every season and sometimes pas
lures in autumn. On tho question OF
mixed grasses in meadows it depends
somewhat on the purpose for which
the hay is grown. If it is
raised for sale in city markets
then tho buyer must have timothy hay
regardless of the nutritivo value Of other
grasses, for such Gus toner q mixture
of timothy and Italian rye grass would
pass, as tho paniclc of tho latter, WHOM
dry, would not be distinguished from
tho timothy heads by the average pur-
chaser; whilc the introduction Of italian
rye in any fair meadow would nearly
double tho hay crop. provided that
sufficient seed of rye grass is put on the
land. Unfortunately this strong
growing and nutritious grass is
only biennial. But to re-
turn to the question of permanent
meadow and good hay crops. 1t must
be admitted that our present system OF
constant seeding with timothy and
clover only is very expensive and often
not successful. 1t is next to impossible,
on some soils, to get n good stand OF
grass from such restricted seeding. Aud
yet mary think that these two grasses
arc the only kind that should DO sown
in meadow, and that. too, notwith-
standing tho fact that many fields thus
seeded will not produce moro than two
seasons moving without rosccding.
In fact n close moving, followed by
dry, hot weather will often do
stroy tho dubious roots Of
the timothy almost entirely, so that the
aftermath will DO weak and only appar-
cnt in patches. Timothy stools but
little and tho aftergrowth from tho
young bulbs is always weak and thin,

grass we'll in the ground. especially
