Hoeiug a Hill of Potatoes

A farmer that has been rather more
fortunate than his neightors is reported
as saving: There are not half the far
mers who know how to hoe a hill of po-
tatoes Il" We presume the one who made
the remark. thinks he knows all about
it. Eut the chances are that he knows
little ii any more than his neigbors. It's
a very wise man, taking one season with
another and considering all kinds Of soil
and weather. that knows just how to hoe
a hill of potatoes. He may know one way
and hit it right one year, but fail the next.
So his way of doing it may be good on
one soil, but not on another 1t is a ques-
ton every year whether Milling or fiat
culture is best, and no one can tell until
the season is over, which ought to be or
to have been chosen. Killing on a dry
,oil,. in dry time, is pretty likely to ruin
a crop; and not to hill in wet time is TO
insure failure. Flat culture is probably
best for a dry season, and killing for wet
one, but neither can be foratold; so it is
1pc-e Of a thing to know how to hoe a hill
Of potatoes than many think. The roots
want cool, moist soil to feed in and the
tubers want dry warm soil to develop
in. The desideratum is to secure these
two conditions

Price of sheep for Breeding

The rast season seems TO have been
good one for heep-breeders III England.
Flocks are heavier than they have been for
many years, and prices are remunerative
for sheep especially. The highest prices
can find as having been realized at recent
sales are S577 for a SOuthdown shearlng
y - $55l for a Shropshire stock. ram;
1868 for a Hampshire Down ram lamb;
s446 for an Oxford-Down shearing ram
sl63 each for a Cotswold shearing ram and
Suffolk ram lamb, and 1862 for De-
Won long-wool ram on hire The prices Of
ewes of more breeds appear to have been
corresp ondingly good. High as the prices
for rams were this season, none Of them
reached the highest figure Of last year for
Shr0lshires. when q. Graham sold one for
81 .l50to 20 to Buenos Ayres, and another
for 1892; and profitable as the English
sheep must have been, Australasia appears
to have afforded still wider margin for
profit. At Sydney hockmasters have been

SONG OF THE MoUNTAINEER
FROM woMAS's WORK

0, the gorgeous sight that greeis my eyes
From the mountains rugged crest;
AS the weary sun, when the day is done,
Sinks low IN the amber west
Like mantle Of peace, nights curtain falls
And shade in the vale IL seen;
Bnt the mountain height in the dying light
Is wrapped IN golden sheen,
II fades away, and the afterglow
Like summer twilight comes,
To HE the bear and the timld hare,
Away 10 their mountain homes,
The boys come In from the timber lands,
The guides and the muleteer;
And the cabin rings as the leader sings,
rollicking song OF cheer,
Then he sings of tho oIsles OF the sweet south
west
With their orange groves and palm;
Where the air is filed with the dews distilled,
From mint, and myrrh, and balm,
Where the dusky maid and her staWRrt brave
Hold tryst through the llyelong day
And fondly dream, by the tirefy's CLEAN,
The evening hours away.
And my thoughts 90 back, at the tale OF love,
To my home in the distant east,
And happy time in youths glad prime.
When I sat an loves neCtared feast,
And long for glimpse Of spirituel face,
With blue eyes true and clear,
That looked into mine with light divine,
In u far-oif happy year
l would hear once more that tender voice,
That thrilled my heart to Its core,
As she said, "good night, dear love, good night
AT the old red farmhouse door,
That face is hid meath the Cofiin-lid,
The voice shall neyermore hear;
But know she'll wait at Heavens gate,
Till my lingering steps draw near
She will be the first to welcome me home
To that radiant shining Shore
Where the loved who meet hold communion
sweet
Forever, ever more.
/ have wandered far from my native land
In quest of that tabled stream,
Whose waters quaIed, il il said Will wati
Lies sorrows away, like dream
All, deusiou fair, that Lethean Spring
Flows not from mount or plain,
Whose sparkling tide true grief can hide,
To come not back again.
| / love my home on the mountains height,
Yet my eyes are dim with tears,
For my heart will yearnto my old home turn,
! And the love of my early years.

OATS FOR HENS.

1t was thought at one time that oats
we're the poorest food hen could have,
and to find that a man was only feeding
oats was proof that he was not only stingy
but starving his hens But time and ex-
perience have shown that the stingy neigh
Dor was not so far out of the way with his
feed of oats. Oats are now considered to
be one of the necessaries on poultryman s
bill of fare; but, while they are good feed
in their natural state, they are better if
fed ground and mixed with scalding water
or. which is as well, boiled whole and fed
while warm. Chickens fed on oat meal
are seldom troubled with weak legs

ptRF BRED FOWLS.

Cross.bred fowls are seen on all farms;
yet it is mistake to suppose that they
are harder than the pure breds. In all
experiments made to determine the merits
of pure breeds and cross-bred fowls, both
for egg production and hardness, the
former have given greater satisfaction.
In crossing fowls, however, some adyan-
tage is gained by using only pure bred
males for that purpose.

KXERCIsE FOR STOCK.

All classes of stock need some exercise.
1t is not necessary to exhaust or oyerwork
an animal to give it exercise, but allow it
freedom to move and find relief from con-
inement. Fowls when too closely confined
and have no exercise, ARE subject to leg

their stock If they are kept securely in the
