Seed Potatoes.

For our seed potatoes last fall we
dug pit five feet deep, large enough to
hold seventy-tive bushels, and only fill
ing to within two feet of the surface of
the ground. AS soon as thoroughly dry
after digging, we put them in the pit,
filled and rounded it up we'll with straw,
covering with few inches of earth, be-
ing particular to leave it so no water
could get in from the surface. AT the
commencement of cold weather we put
on more straw and earth. In place Of
the tile for chimnies we put in two
compact bundles of long straw We left
them in this shape till our ground was
ready for planting, the last week in
April, when we opened, finding the po-
tatoes as solid and fresh as when put in,
not deaayed tuber and scarcely an eye
started. The field on which the seed
was planted adjoined the one where 1T
was raised, with the pit between. The
amount of labor by hauling, neither
after digging nor before planting, was
very considerable, and we never had
seed in as good condition by managing
in any other way. We like our method
of planting potatoes, for the few acres
we raise. Instead Of an expensive poG
tato planter, we took our corn planter.

A Relic of Territorial pays.

The other day when Noah McNaught
was at Hamilton he was shown wagon
wheel which was found buried high up
on the mountain side and covered with
two feet of earth. From appearances 1t
had been there sixty years. The tire
was wide, the spokes we're rotted off at
the point of intersection with the fell
loes. The hub and felloes were tolera-
bly, we'll preserved. The root of tree
as large as mans body had grown
through and broken out three spokes.
There was no mark in the dense forest
indicating that wagon road had ever
existed in that neighborhood. In ac-
counting for how this wheel could ever
have gotten there, an Indian tradition
recites that Government party took
its wagon to pieces and packed them on
the backs of mules, that one mule bear
ing this wheel on its back was precipi-
tated from the mountain side and killed
by the fall, leaving the wheel to be
covered by the earth as the surface of
the mountain became invaded.-Wash-
ington Farmer.

Picking and Packing Fruits.

President c. s. Faurot, in recent ad-
dress before the Colorado horticultural
Society, dwelt considerably on the sub
feet of picking and packing fruits for
the market He said that he had heard
great deal of complaint from farmers
growing apples for the market, that
they found it difficult to sell their
fruits. SIN my Judgment" said he,
'''the trouble lies largely with the
farmer himself. He does not take
pains in gathering or picking fruit.
The grower should first know what con-
'stitutes frst-class apple. 1t should
not be over-ripe or undeveloped as those
often are that grow in the center OF
the tree. In gathering them great care
should be taken that they be not
bruised; the fruit should be gathered
one by one and laid in basket or sack
suspended from the shoulders and the
apples should be sorted as soon as
picked. A uniform-sized box should be
used in shipping and sacks should never
be used, for II you do you should never
expect to get d frst-class price"

with wire nails. For the sides and tops
use MA in x4feet, IL pieces, and equal
ly divide the space. The bottom is in
one piece inch thick, 1s inches wide
and feet long, less inch. Front end
contains one piece 11x1ox1S inches, and
two 14X4X1S inches, each. The rear or
door end has two pieces 1fx2xx1s
inches for inside cross strips top and
bottom, and two outside top and
bottom strips 1Gx4x1S inches, with two
upright strips Nx21fx23 inches for each
side of the movable door, and to which
are fastened the side strips. The door
is XxSX23 inches, and is held firmly to
place by wire nail driven partially in
at top end. The corner posts in front
end are 1x2x2S inches, and on the inside
of them is fastened board 16xSx1S
inches, which forms with the outside
board a feed space of . inches in width
in front end of crate. The board on the
inside comes within an inch of the bot
tom, where trough is made by taclling
in piece of board 13X4X1S inches, at a
slant of about the same degree as shown
by one side of the letter V. When
ready to ship, place crate in the wagon
and back up to the driveway door in
the hog-house, which is on level with
the wagon bed, and you can load or
crate the hogs with ease; then put feed
in the box at end of crate, and 1t will
drop down as it is eaten from the
trough, thus affording plenty of food for
the hog until the end of his journey.
Water can be given in the trough at in
tervals by those having the animal in
charge. In this crate, bedded with
straw, the hog reaches its destination

Kerosene Emulsion on Greenhouse Plants.

Kerosene Emulsion on Greenhouse Plants.
The aphis can be kept down by
fumigation, or the application of
sulpho-tobacco soap, and the red spider
can be con trolled or routed, especially
in the greenhouse, whers water can be
used in any desired quantity, by the
persistent use of it all over the plants,
and the places where it breeds. But the
mealy-bug and the scale succumb to
neither of these applications. l have
used tir-tree oil with good success, says
a writer in the American Agriculturist,
but it is somewhat expensive, and often
difficult to obtain. Having used kero-
sene emulsion in the garden where it
proved valuable as an insecticide, it
occurred to me that If it was useful
there it might also be in the green
house. 1t was applied to oleanders, ivies,
lemons, and other plants infested with
scale, and to hoyas and other plants on
which the mealy-bug had taken up it's
habitation, and with most satisfactory
results. Itrid the plants of the insects
fought against and did not injure them
in the least. l have since applied it
to tender plants like the begonia, and,
if care is taken, it never Injuries them,
but, if more kerosene is used, some
damage will result to delicate foliage.
The formula used is: Slightly sour
milk, one-third; kerosene, two-thirds.
Put in a pail and agitate rapidly, until
the two liquids unite and form white
butter. If you have greenhouse
syringe, use it to churn the liquids, and
the "butter" will "come" in short
time. Use one part of this emulsion to
fourteen parts water. The water and
emulsion will mix with little stirring,
and can be syringed over the plants.

One day an Indian made an excursion
to a mountain near Chevantzieurm, state
of Michoacan, in Mexico, to look after
some fuel for his hut. While cutting up
a dry oak he suddenly felt bite on the
calf of his leg, given in the fraction of
second A moment later he felt coiling
around his body the terrible fold of boa
constructor. Instinctively he leaned his
his head over toward the wounded leg
and was almost fascinated by the glare
of two bright basilisk eyes, that cleaned
like fiery Goals in the head of the serpent
Quicker than fash the Indian ducked
his head and caught the neck of the rep
tile between his jaws, sinking his teeth
in the quivering flesh and clinging to it
with the desperation of the dying. The
huge serpent lashed his tail and tried to
twist its head in order to bury its fangs
in the Indian, but the latter clung on
and began to chew away at the neck Of
the boa, which is the thinnest and most
delicate part of the snakes anatomy.
After chewing for long time, the In
dian succeeded in beheading his antag-
onist, the folds dropped from around his
body, and the Indian was free.-New

His First Letter.

A writer in The Christian Union gives
an amusing account of the first letter
ever written to his wife by certain old
gentleman. The couple had never beer
separated in all the years of their life
until "Pa," at the age of 70, concluded
to visit some relatives in Boston.
When he was preparing to start on his
memorable trip his wife, who was to re-
main at home, said:
"Pa, you never writ me a letter in
your life, an 1 do hope when you git
safely there you'll write me line and
let me know how you bore the journey.
Ill buy sheet of paper and put in a
wafer, so you won't have no trouble
about that"
Pa was absent week, and, faithful to
his promise, he sent a letter. 1t read
thus:
RESPECTED LADY: l got here safe,
and am very well, and hope you are
the same. l shall be glad to git home,

business by which they can earn their
daily bread. One trouble is that the
girls, who ought to be at home doing
housework, have taken the places of the
boys. might mention dozens of trades
where no great muscular effort is requir-
ed that are taken up by girls and which
should be held by men alone. How can
the boys secure apprenticeships when the
places are already filled by girls? While
the girls are at work the boys are idle for
want of it; some of them sit around the
house, while others are loafng, stealing
rides on trains or devoting themselves to
other forms of mischief. A friend of

A Celebrated Physician.


John Arbuthnot, the son of Scotch
clergyman, was born near Montrose in
1857. He was educated at Aberdeen,
where he took his doctors degree. Going
to London to push his fortune, he soon
established reputation as man of
science, and before he was 80 happy ac-
cident led to his fortune. Prince George
Of Denmark, the consort of Queen Anne,
was taken suddenly ill at EPSON, and
Arbuthnot, who chanced to be there, was
summoned to attend him. The prince
was cured, and the doctor was aprzsgAted
Dne of the court physicians Swift says
that he was the queens favorite ply
Sician, and apartments were given him
in st. James palace. Thus distinguished
by the marks of royal favor, Arbuthnot
acquired the friendship, not only of the
leading men of his party, as Harley and
Bolingbroke, but that of all the wits and
scholars of the time. He was their
trusted friend and adviser, He attended
Queen Anne in her last illness, and al
though he did not continue to hold his
official position in the court of George |
he and his friend were Tories-he
maintained a great practice among the
nobility. He attended Gay and Con-
greve and Pope and Swift, and in the
verses addressed by Gay to Pope Arbuth-
not's company is said to drive sorrow
from the heart, cas- all disease his medi-
cines dissipate." Pope constantly ex-
pressed his gratitude to him, and paid
him some of his finest poetical compli-
ments, The prologue to "The Satires, -

Earliest Form of Ladies' Headdress.

The earliest form of ladies' headdress
is said to have been the overchief or head
handkerchief. Then came the hood, uni
versally worn during the Fourteenth
century, revival of the Anglo-Saxon
head covering. The close fitting cap is
said to have originated in decking the
corners of the hood for the sake of COM
fort and convenience. Chambers OBJ
serves that "the era of caps and hats is
referred to the year 1449, the first seen
in these parts of the world being at the
entry of Charles VII in Rouen; from
that time they began by little and little
to take the place of hoods or chaperoons
that had been used till then. New York
