How TO REAR CHILDREN.-Chil-
dren cannot be reared by rules. but
the following may be suggestive.
One great point 10 to treat them
kindly.
Do not preach politenees and pro-
priety to them, and violated their
laws yourself. In other words let the
example you set them be q good one.
Never quarrel nor have any unpless-
sntness between yourselves. or with
others, wait till the children are gone
to bed. Then they will not zee you,
and perhaps BY that time you may
not want to quarrel.
Never speak fiippsntly Of nsighbors
before children. They may meet the
neighbor's children and talk about
it.
Teach them to think that the lit
tie boy in rags has heart in spite of
the rags-and o stomach too.
Teach them as they grow older.
that respectful demsanor to othsrs,
q gentle tone of voice, q kind dispo.
siton, generous nature, an honest
purpose, and an industrious mind,
are better than anything else on
earth. Teach them these things, and
self-reliance and intelligence and
capability win come Of themselves.
Teach them these things I say; and
your boys and girls viii grow up to
be noble men and women.

He was talking about Congressman

unsupported by any and cut off from
the main line of our troops, marched

capturing it.
"The Captain commanding this bat

PoTATo EXPERIMENTS IN TEENEs-
sEE.-Experiments in potato growing
made at the Tennessee station are
summarized a. follows:
Z. The larger the potato planted,
the larger the plsbt produced. and
the more sbundsnt the harvest.
2. Other things being equal. the
fewsr.the number Of eyes in q piece
Of seed potato. or the smaller that
piece of seed, the smaller the crop.
3. The larger the quantity Of whole
tubers placed in hill for seed. the
greater the cost per acre Of planting,
and the smaller the profit on The crop.
4. Large and whole tubsrs pro-
duced smaller and poorer merchant
able ones than did half or quarter
tubers. or single eyes.
5. Large and whole tubsrs yielded
appreciably more small unmerchant-
able potatoes. than did parts of me.
dunn tuters or single eyss.
6. Given, two potatoes Of equal
size. one planted whole will not yield
so large or 90 good crop a. will The
tuber cut into hslves and each part
planted 10 separate hill.
7. The investigation; as carried out.
suggests that, in view Of the fact that
the whole tuber produced compar.
atively more small. inferior potatoes
than did the halves planted. the
source of these inferior tubers may
be from those eyes located on the IN.
der side Of the whole potato planted.
This because the eyes and shoots thus
located are repressed in growth to q
certain extent owing to the pressure
upon them and reversal of position.

sions are the results Of the inyssti.

"struck with the cold" and die in 0

women could be seen "redigging the

some few remaining" They were
