Equal Quality Potato Seed.

Everyone intending to plant pota-
toes ought to aim for the best seed
that he can obtain. 1t may cost more,
but this increase of cost is the best
investment that the potato grower
can make. The drouth last summc.
ripcned prematurely the potato crop
i'll many of the best potato growing
localities. All potato growers kno "
that such seed cannot be kept with
ont serious waste from spronting
from the eyes. The only remedy for
this is to procure seed from the crops
grown so far north that the potatoes
barely ripcn before being ready to
dig. and can be kept until late In
spring with their vitality unimpaired
There is always an advantage in
northern grown seeds to be planted in
more southern localities. This sea-
sou. owing to the condition of the po-
tatoeS at harvest time. most of the
middle state crop will make poor seed
and it needs to be changed for that
grown under more favorable condi-
tions.-Rural World.

Points on Tillnse.

Prof. Bailey told the New York
Horticultural society that tillage is
cheaper than manures. With proper
tillage we can draw upon The i'm
mense reserves Of plant food in the
soil. The manuel labor required for
such tillage is cheaper than borrowing
money for fertilizers, while we still
have in the soil balance of fertility
which is not drawing interest. Village
makes plant food available for crops,
breaks up the capillarity of the sur
face and interposes between the moist
under soil and theair as complete
mulch as wooden blanket is to a
cake of ice. Tillage of itself is the
first fundamental essential of agri-
culture, and the farmer is the one
who does the most of it. A spirited
discussion followed. in which num-
Der of cases were cited of orchards
bearing large crops OF apples when
uncultivated, to which Prof. Bailey
replied that next to tillage and ma
nures. pasturing with sheep and hogs
WAS undoubtedly the best. II an
orchard is doing well without tillage,
let it alone; if not, plow it up.

crop than could be secured with their
use. Some soils may need but little
to enable them to produce full crops.
Where a clover crop has been plowcd
under, an application of wood ashes
may be all that is necessary, as both
potash and plosphatcs are contained
in ashes, the latter in small quantity,
however. Ashes also contain lime i'll

200 pounds of ground bone, With the
liberal use of wood ashes on clover

With q favorable season. If wood
ashes are not obtainable, use sulphate
OF potash in any quantity that may
be preferred, not less than 3UU pounds
per acre being Il fair proportion, with
200 pounds OF bone meal, if the land
is otherwise in good condition from

to buy the right kind of fertilizer for
your requirements instead of buying
that which may not be lacking in the
soil.-Philadelphia Record.

There is many mother who feels
disturbed and anxious because her
child either exhibits small interest in
school, or else is unable to shine
among the other children there, or
perhaps even to keep pace with them.
She is haunted by a horrid specter of
dunceship and backwardness, and of
her darling outstrippped and left be-
hind in all the other struggles as well.
But do not let her be too soon dis
couraged. If her child has no apti-
tude for learning exactly what the
others are learning. perhaps there is
an aptitude for something else quite
different and apart, and of just as
much value. Let her scrutinize and
discover and help the child along ac-
cOrdingly in the ways where nature
directs.
Our system of graded schools ia in
deed lifting all children to broad
table-land of general information, but
however excellent it's mental disci-
pline. it allows no space for individual
growth in individual ways. Every
child is being run in the same mould.
There is no place for idiosyncrasy or
for, development upon original lines.
and there is an cver-present danger of
crystalliZation, of becoming fixed ut a
given point or ceasing all development.
II her child has u rooted dislike for q
certain thing, or n positive disability
in the direction of another, the mother
would be wiser to make an effort to
have those studies set aside, and to
let him give himself to those which
lie does like, and where, if he cannot
distinguish himself. he can at any rate
expand what power he has. Surely If
his strength and time are dissipated
on those studies concerning which he
is hopeless. there ia no strength or
time left for those where he might do
much
1t is probable that the great men of
the past developed themselves as their
tastes and inclinations led; they did
not learn all they learned because
some one else had learned it, even IL
certain branches We're forcgone con-
clllsion, and that which they did learn,
they learned because they felt the Inn
pulse and the need.
