PUTTING POTATOES.

Where potatoes are to be kept through
the winter and are not wanted for use or
market until spring, a well constructed
pit out Of doors is the best way to keep
them. Cellars are always too warm,
and even temperature of fifty degrees
starts the eyes whether the cellar be light
or dark. In a dark cellar the potatoes
in a bin will be found grown togetherif
not examined frequently. In out-of-
door pits, unless the winter is extremely
warm, scarcely an eye will have started
up to the time the pit is ready to be
opened. Such potatoes for seed are
wcrth double what the same potatoes
would be kept so warm that each eye has
sprouted aud must have It's original
growth broken off. It stands to reason
that this first growth has greater vigor
than will anyone that starts afterwards.
The pit should only be lightly covered
and good ventilation be given up to the
time Of severe freezing. Just before
that put on another coat of straw over
the whole heap and cover with four or
five inches depth Of soil. If weather
below zero is threatened in winter draw
a few loads of manure from the horse
stables and give the pit another cover
ing. When thus trebIy covered there is
little danger that eEea zero weather will
reach down to freeze the potatoes

THE A Il AND GARDEN.

AN OBJECT LESSON IN ROAD BUILDING.
The trustees of Cornell University at
their recene meeting took action which
promises to give important assistance to
the movement for reform in the construc-
ton and care of country roads. A reso-
luton was adopted directing the Profess
sor Of the Civil Engineering, the
Professor of Agriculture, and the Profess
sor Of Horticulture to prepare a plan for
putting the roads in the university prop
erty into the best possible condition.
The committee are to prepare estimates Of
the cost of various ways of BODYBUILDING
and improvement, and they are advised
that it is the opinion of the board that
the different roads should not be all con-
structed on NJ plan, but upon the
different systems which experience else
where has proved to be worthy Of a trial.
One of the most important matters in
road construction is proper drainage, and
those who deal with soils should be
competent advisers in the disposition of
surplus water .-AeD England Farmer.

nEHnRNING OF CALVES.

The most favorable time to dehora
calves is when they are a month old.
The embryo horn is then in a condition
to be easily destroyed, and the young
animal does not suffer in the least by the
operation. This is as follows: The
hair over the small crust of skin which
marks the spot where the horn will grow
is shaved, and the part is rubbed with
raastic potash, or the skin is removed
By means Of a sharp knife. The wound
is then touched with a white hot piece
of iron, which instantly destroys the
tissue, absolutely without pain, as has
been proved beyond question by many
persons who have submitted to this
operation for the cure of disease. The
intense heat instantly destroys the nerves
of the part, and thus no pain is felt. If
the potash is used, two applications are
required, the second in three or four
days after the other. As this substance
is exceedingly c~austie, it is necessary to
be cautious that it does not CONG in con-
tact with the fingers, which should be
projected by wrapping paper around the
stick. of potash. This is to be applied
after the skin is moistened with water

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Be careful in feeding green corn.
Is your barn-yard clean aad rel
drained?
Early colts get a good start before
winter sets in.
Feed your horse three times daily, but
never oyer-feed.
Never wash a horse with cold water
when he is heated.
Water before feeding, but not while
the horse is hot from work.
You will never get to the top In horse
breeding unless you start rigat.
One leading cause of failure is IN at
tempting to keep 100 many, fowls for the
space.
A few good broo1-mares may be the
foundation for a future fortune for the
young farmer
II good prices are obtained, it is i'm
portant to send the poultry to market in
good condition.
Double up the teams when the roads
are bad. It may take a little time, but
may save a good horse.
Geese and ducks should be kept in a
yard or pasture away from the well, cs-
p~ecially the house well.
Millet seed can be used TO good ad-
vantage in feeding chickens in the
brooder during the winter.
If the fowls have been kept thrifty in
the fall, it will require only a short feed
to prepare them for market.
Oats scalded well and alloWedto stand

it has established itself Ia her affections
by sucking. The COW should be fed
literally, but not principally with grain.
succuleat foods like good, mature corn
fodder, clover and the like are best.
Feed grain sparingly at the start, and
later on rely upon it to hold up the milk
yield and sustain it. Keep the grain for
the reserve force.
Begin to stable early. Do not try to
make the cow used to cold SO as to stand
it better, but protect her against it.
Cold, frost, and chilling rains, and winds
are not promoters of milk flow, but each
md all are antagonistic to it. When the
thts begin to get frosty stable the milk
ers and keep them warQ, and on Chilly,
:ainy days it is better to keep them in,
too, and feed them inside the stable.
By the first of December, at the latest,
and earlier if the weather is wintry, be-
gin the winter stabling and feeding, and
get the cows on uniform r~ations, pre-
pared to keep them in for ninety days if
need be.
Have all the feed and rations handy.
A COW wants to eat with regularity, and
not wait for the owner to hitch up and
draw in a load Of fodder from a distant
field. Milk at regular hours, aud feel

ing. Do not get into the habit of hiring
your cows to give milk. Reverse tho
plan, and reward them for their milk
with a generous feeding. Then they
can a k time to eat, r%uminate, digest
and assimilate their food between milk
lngs. Give the main part of the food at
two meals. The plan of feeding little
and often is Objectionable, but a light
feed of hay at noon, if silage is fed, is of
advantage. Grain should be fed with
the rougher food, then it is not only we'll
masticated but better mixed and pre-
pared for digestion.
Make the COW comfortable in her stall.
Give her room and freedom Of motion.
Use bedding freely, and use absorbents
literally in the cutters, SO that all the
fluids will be taken up, and slop pre-
vented. Use land plaster to absorb am
mona, and next to it road dust is
valuable. If one insists on exercise for
the mixers, they may be turned out in
the middle of the day, and driven about
the yard a few times to be sure that they
take it. Cows in milk are very forgetful
in this respect. Only turn out on sunny,
warm days, and not to exceed two
hours. Have water in the stable as we'll
as in the yard. An iron tank with cover
in the stable, fed from the we'll, will
give water of about fifty degrees, which
swarm enough for the cows. Have the
stable warm, light, dry, fairly ventilated,
and cleaned out twice per day. Have
the managers and boxes kept sweet and
clean by washing them occasionally with
hot water. Be a gentleman among your
cows; they appreciate politeness, and in
return will make winter dairsing pay

A Very Queer Satellite.

The satellite nearest to the planet
Jupiter must be a singular place of resi-
dence, if there be any possibility of resi-
dents at all resembling human beings. In
the first place, though it is bigger than
u moon, the substance of which 1t is
composed is less than half as light as
cork. so that it is not a very solid place
of residence.
In the next place, though the sun APP
pears very dim from it as compared with
what it appears from the earth, it has a
moon-namely, Jupiter itself whose
surface appears many hundreds of times
larger than our moon.
In the third place, the recent observa-
tions made of this satellite by Mr.. Bar
nard, in the great Lick Observatory,
make it not improbable that this satel.
lite is reallv cut in two, and that there
TO re there may be two separate little
wo rlds, probably not separated by any
very great distance (for the total diane
ter of the two together, If there be two
divisions of the satellite which was al
ways supposed till quite recently to De
single, is not above $500 miles across,
revolving together through space, some
even of the details of one of wnlcl
worlds must be visible from the other.
if there be anything like telescopes on
either half.
If the satellite is not cut in two Mr..
Barnard holds that there must be a light
belt round it, very like the light belt on
Jupiter itself, and that this light belt
produces the impression of division IN
der certain circumstances of the orbit.
We may hope that the Lick Obs .~rvstory
will at length solve the problem. Per
haps the residents of the two halves OF
the auet, if it be in halves, can really

The chileans are Poor turner's.

There has been so much talk about
ChiIe's ability to strike heavy blows IN
case of war with the United States that
the results of observations OF their work
during the recent trouble will be inter-
estiny at this ii ne. In the capture OF
Valparaiso the Coagressionalist squadron
played no part worthy of mention. The
Esmeralda, Cochrane, Aconcagua ana
O.Higgins, all armed with heavy Arm
strong rihed guns, did not attempt to
engage Forts Pratt and Callao at the en-
trance Of the harbor, but managed to
keep we'll out of range. At Iquique they
kept FIVE miles out to sea and not a shell
fell in the town.
When Admiral Brown was asked how
Chile compare with Amsricl in case OF
war. he laughed and said: "This is the
biggest ship, except the Baltimore and
Warspite, We saw in Chilean waters, and
the Chilean wal vessels could not cope
with our vessels"
An officer on the ship who had care
fully observed the operations of the
Chilean vessels said: 81 never saw such
poor gunaery. Why, at 1000 yards /

fort at Vinda del Mar, and not a shot

THE BLIND POSTWAR.
This is a new variation of an old game
called "Marching Around jerusalem" 1t
is, however, more dramatic than the old
time favorite. The host will usually offer
his services as Postmaster General, or
will assign the position to some proni-
nent gust. The Postmaster-G General ap-
points a postmau, who is bliudfolded,
after which the com pany seat themselves
round the side of the room 50 as to leave
flarge open space.
Cards must be prepared in anticipation
f the play, on each of which is printed
he name of some city, all the cards hav-
ug a different name as "Boston," "New
Cork" "Paris," "Berlin," "London,'
"Rome," etc. These are distributed
smong the company, each receiving the
name of a city.
The Postmaster General takes a posi-
tion where he can speik to the entire
company, and the postman takes his
place in the middle of the room. He
now calls the names of two cities:
aBoston to New York;
The players bearing these names must
instantly rise and endeavor to change
seats with each other, and the blind post
man must try to capture one Of them be-
fore they eau make the change. Should he
succeed, he can exact q forfeit of the
person caught, who in turn becomes the
blind postman; and SO the game pro-
ceeds.
