Keeping Potatoes from MIXING.

Whenever several varieties of pota-
toes are grown on the same farm much
trouble has to be taken to prevent them
from mixing. A lot of mixed potatoes
never sells well, and ought not to do So.
There are other differences besides the
looks, as there is variation in quality
and in the time that the potato requires
for cooking. Some Of the worst mix
lures are those Of different varieties
that look much the same. The Early
Rose is very often mixed with the Late
Rose, and while the Early Rose cooks
to a meaiy consistency the Late Rose
will be watery and soggy after cook.
ing. The seed potatoes should be care
fully selected. and when the tubes are
cut for seed each variety should be in
a room by itself, so that the piles Of
cut tubers may not get together.

'Therc are women In this world who
seem to think that they are never really
accomplishing anything unless they
make hard work of II. They scorn all
easy ways, characterizing them as
'slack-twisted' and 'shirky,' and take
to themselves great credit for getting
through an enormous amount of hard
work." This remark was recently called
forth by wordy encounter between an
experienced housekeeper and woman
to whom she had given great deal of
work. From the first there had been
an effort to make tho labor as light as
possible, but 1t was ut last given up as
hopeless undertaking. "In all my ex-
perience," said this lady. In narrating
the circumstances, IL never met with
a woman so set and obstinate as the
one have just been employing. She has
resolutely refused to have the clothes
put to soak, preferring what she calls
elbow grease to all manner of labor
saving appliances. Then she grumbled
about the work In one breath and boast

til 1t became SO wearisome that / gave

AnpIes Pow Well.

"How the neighbors laughed when a
farmer at the age Of 60 years began to
set out large apple orchard" says the
Massachusetts Ploughman. "He is now
over eighty, and for some years he has
sold crop of four or five hundred
barrels of apples. That Is better than
life insurance, he thinks" Yes; and
some who have had no faith in orchard
ing for profit In Orleans County have
got at least one eye open to see us late
ly sell a good crop of SCOTS winter at
$3.50 per barrel, right at home. 1t
pays much better than buttermaking at
going rates, though the two go very well
together. Swapping barrel of apples
even for barrel of -four, or an equiv
alent in grain feed, suits us nicely. And
1t is but few years since we sold our
apple crop, right through, at 81 barrel.
1t don't hurt mans feelings much, I'M
der such circumstances, to be called q
crank. We can grow apples at less
than we can potatoes. While the trees
are young, and from that up to full
bearing, we raise beans enough be-
tween the rows to pay all the expenses,
and also good crops Of curants and
EOoseberries between the trees in the
rows. The Russian varieties Of tree
fruits come to fruiting age at least
three years sooner than the old varie-
ties-Spy, Baldwin, Greening, None
Such, Gravenstein, etc.

(From the Springfield. Mass. Unionl
There isn't a gun manufacturer in the
United States who does not know Jesrer-
son Nj. Clough, and why? Because he
has been intimately associated all his life
with the development of the two best
American rifles, the Remington and Win
chester. For years he was superintend-
ent of the E. Remington a. Sons great
factory at lion, n. y. After leaving there
he refused tempting offer of the Chinese
Government to go to China to superintend
their Government factories-and accept
ed instead the superintendency of the
Winchestcr-Arms Co., at New Haven, at
a salary of 81 800 year.
1t was after this long term of active
labor as business man that he found
himself incapacitated for further service
by the embargo which rheumatism had
laid upon him and resigned his position
more than two years ago, and returned TO
Belchertown, Mass. where he now lives
and own the Phelps farm, a retired spot
where he has 500 acres of land.
Being man of means he did not spare
the cost and was treated by leading ply
sicians and by baths at celebrated springs

tice. During the summer of 1893 and the
winter of 1894 Mr.. Clough was confined
to his house in Belchertown, being unable
to rise from his bed without assistance,
and suffering continually with acute pains
and with no taste or desire for food, nor
was he able tc obtain sufficient sleep.
Early in the year 1894 Mr.. Clough
heard of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. He began taking these pills
about the first of March, 1894, and con-
tinued to do so until the first part of Sep
tender following The first effect no
ticed was better appetite, and he began
to note more ability to help himself of
the bed and to be better generally. Last
August 1S94) he was able to go alone to
his summer residence and farm of 163
acres on Grenadier Island, among the
Thousand Islands, in the River st. Law
renee, where from the highest land of his
farm he commands view for thirteen
miles down the river, and sixty of the
Thousand Islands can be seen.
Instead of being confined to his bed Mr..
Clough is now and has been for some time
able to be about the farm to direct the
men employed there. and he is thankful
for what DIR. Williams Pink Pills have
done for him.

Hay Stacking Made Easy.

One of the best and cheapest der.
dicks for stacking hay out-of-doors con-
lists simply Of one straight pole forty
ieet high, secured in an upright posi-
ton by means Of four guy ropes each
about eighty feet long. Place the pole
in somewhat slanting position so that
the top will be directly over the center
Of the stack. For instance If the stacl.
is to be eighteen feet square, the bot
tom of the pole will be placed on the
outside of this square, with the top
directly over the center. Fasten a
strong piece of wood, 2x6 feet, on the
bottom of the pole with wire rings in
each end, by means Of which 1t can be
staked firmly to the ground. The four
guy ropes are fastened to the top of the
pole and to the ground by means Of n
stake. The pulleys and hay forks are
attached much the same as in barn
and are operated similarly.
For making the pole l use two tele-

both passing between the spokes and
coming together on the inner side of the
wheel. A buckle such as is used on
overshoes or hook and eye that will
readily lock together are then fastened
to the straps. The wrench having been
attached, 1t is only necessary to raise
the axle on wagon jack to clear the
wheel and give the wheel whirl. The
wrench being fastened securely to the
spokes, the nut is turned Off by the mo-
ton Of the wheel. The wheel is then
slipped nearly Off, the axle creased and
the wheel slid back in place, twirled
round and the nut is on without dirty
ing hands or clothes. If the nut Is In
clined to stick, the wheel also acts as
a lever.

Berry Notes.

For market pick every day before
too ripe.
Always have a uniform quality, and
the box well filed.
Cultivated berries are less liable t.
injury by frost or drouth.
Never allow stems, leaves, dirt or i'm
perfect berries In the box.
Picking, packing and marketing are
important factors in selling berries.
or all farm work it pays best for work
done, and suffers most from neglect.
The fruit and vegetable gardens re.
quire richest soil and best culture.
If any plants newly-set fail to live
put others in their places Mt once.
For family use leave fruit on the
vines until fully ripe, and pick fresh for
the table.
Severe pruning of laterals will not
only improve size and quality of fruit,
but greatly increase the yield.
AS soon as the leaves start, the affect
ed parts are easily discovered, and
should be cut out and burned Mt once.
Frequent cultivation stimulates an
early vigorous growth. The roots strike
deep into the mellow soil, and the or
binary drouth is harmless.
If you would have a good market,
offer only good berries, give good meas.
ure, and always deal honestly with
your customers.
Cultivate often. 1t warns the soil
in early spring. 1t allows even light
rains to penetrate the soil and retain
the moisture for use In summer.
Most fruit gardens are deficient In
potash. An application Of wood ashes
will supply this want and is especially
valuable for light sandy soils

vermin on Cattle.

The most. effective remedy for lice
on horses and colts that have used is
sperm oil. 1t will promptly destroy ev-
cry louise and nit, and also remove
dandruff, dirt, etc., leaving the skin
clean and the hair In nice condition.
There is not the least danger of taking
off the hair or injuring the animal In
any way. For large hog lice, apply
common machine oil freely, and it will
kill them all and at once. These are
simple, reliable and effective remedies.

Canned Strawberries.

To every pound Of berries allow one
half pound of sugar. Put the berries
in porcelain-lined kettle, cover them

hours; then add one-fourth teaspoonful
Of powdered alum to each quart Of
fruit. Stand over moderate. fire and
bring to the boiling point. Skim and
