HAPPINESS.

Oh, June days are rare days,
And days to tempt the rover
With fErn-scent, and grape-scent,
And scent of sweet white clover.
Such road-f1ow'rs and wood-fow'rs,
And fow'rs that gem the meadow;
Such blue ones, and pink ones,
And ones that grow in shadow.
The bird-songs and brook-songs
Are songs so full Of gladness,
That heart-joy and soul-joy
Are joys akin TO madness.
And days drop't down from Heaven,
And days dropt down from Heaven,
With sweet scents, and sweet fow'rs,
And sweet songs, freely given!

SELECTING SEED POT AToEs.

SELECTING SEED POT ATOES.
Varieties of potatoes, to be profita-
bly, grown, must be of recent origin.
Even our newer varieties are not so
productive as when first introduced.
The life of any given variety has been
shortened materially since the coming
of the potato bug and the poisonous
remedies applied for its destruction.
For these reasons potatoes do not ripen
perfectly.
Mark the strongest hills while grow
ing, and select the potatoes which are
best from these hills. Such seed
should easily be worth thrice as much
a bushel for planting as seed selected
at random from bin. If farmer
can once get started with seed of this
nature it will require much less labor
to fight tie potato bug.
Most varieties of potatoes grown
from seed will yield much heavier
crops for two or three years after their
introduce ion than they ever will again.
1t pays, therefore to give an extra
price for seed in order to get the bpne-
fit from this vigor of the new variety
before it has deteriorated.

The reasons for using whole potatoes
for earl, paintings are: The whole po-
tato furnishes more nous ishment to
the young plant. The whole potato
is less liable to rot if cold, wet weather
occurs. 1t will endure considerable
harder freezing Of the ground before
its vitality is injured. 1t will produce
the first marketable tubers. 1t gener-
ally produces the largest crup. One
year the variation with us between
whole potatoes and those cut to one
eye was 100 bushels per acre. The
whole potatoes that year produced at
the rate OF 300 bushels per acre, while
those cut to one eye produced 200
bushels.

earth to prevent the escape of ammonia.
As a rule, it dries out quickly and be-
comes a very active. soluble nitroge'
nous fertilizer. All this means that if il
is used in liberal quantities in the hill
unmixed with earth 1t may be SO strong
in nitrogen as to injure the young roots
when first starting. Therefore it is al
ways safest to drop it in the hill and
mix it slightly with the earth. While it
requires some considerable labor to dis
tribute this valuable fertilizer in the
hill directly where the plant is to grow
very much better results will be secured
by this method than would be il the

ABOUT SEED POTATOES.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman" gives the following advice
as to seed potatoes:
Good seed potatoes are very essential
for successful crop. What are the
points of a good seed potatoY If we buy
them, we should procure All article that
has been well wintered, such as had
been kept at a temperature which re-
tarded sprouting. A good seed potato
at planting time should have the buds
but slightly developed. 1t makes no
material difference how the potatoes
are wintered, such as had been kept
from sproutiDg.
The question is frequently asked, if
some in the pile, bin or barrel are
frozen, whether the rest are good for
seed. Here springs up again that myster-
ious thing in vegetable life, why apeck
of potatoes in barrel will freeze aud
the rest are apparently uninjured.
Whether the sound potatoes in such a
barrel are fit for seed depends upon cir
cumstances. Those that are sound
may endure several degrees more cold
than frozen ones. If it is merely cold
enough to freeze those that are frozen,
the others may not be injured; but if
it is several degrees colder than merely
to kill the sprouts on the frozen ones,
then there may be danger that the
vitality Of the others is injured.
We frequently see the advice given
that if some are frozen in barrel. the
rest. should not be used for seed.
A few years ago my at ention was d.
rected to this question. A seedman
received consignment of seed potatoes
from the north. During the transpor-
tation they struck a cold wave. 1t be-
hooyed the scotsman to open all the
barrels and pick out the frozen tHbers.
What we're uninjured grew we'll and
made a fair yield.
Last year some OF our own potatoes
got tuo CO. Some barrels were badly
frozen. Yet the sound ones produced
strong healthy plants.
At farmers institute potato
grower said this about frczen potatoes:
"If the juice from frozen potato
touches the eye Of sound potato, it
will kill it," Many in the audience
doubted this assertion, and inclined TO
the belief that this farmers potatoes
were frozen dead before the juice from
the frC zen potatoes touched them. But
whether the juice from froz, n potatoes
is injrrious or not, the frozen ones
should Le picked oct soon as they
soften. If part of our seed is frozen
aid if We have any doubts about the
vitality of the rest, place them in
warmer quarters for few weeks be-
fore planting. II they are sound, the
eyes will begin to swell. Seed po.a-
toes must not be kept tao late in the
spring in a dark room.
Whether cutting seed potatoes has
d tendency towards determination, | am
not ready to state. But am satisfied
that whole potatoes are preferable for
very early crop, especially with the
Early Ohio. Not the largest potatoes
should be plante d, but those Of the size
of hens egg. We used to cut our
potatoes to ole eye, but the result was
very unsatisfactory. The one-eye theory
may do for later planting IN a well pre-
pared, fertile soil.

Orchard grass goes with clover much
better than timothy. though most farm
ers have got in the habit of seeding tim,
othy and clover together. The orchard
grass will not make perfect sod il

Saving Moisture In the Soil.

American Cultiyator says; The best
way to save moisture in the soil is to
thoroughly nnderdrain it. This increases
the porosity of the soil, as the drained
land freezes more deeply than that
which is filed with water to itssurface.
As it freezes the soil expands, and this
enables 1t to hold more moisture. If the
soil has been drained. subsoiling. which
loosens the soil below the furrow, also
increases its ability to retain moisture.

the words! ''is a perfect poem of do
mestic economy, and we live better
and on less money than any of our
neighbors. 1t only costs us

but the TRANSCRIPT cannot give
away the secrets of its young friends
and in continuance of the idea of
household economy gives the following
clipping:
A woman who looks well to the
ways of her household should know
how long, under ordinary circumstan-
ces certain supplies, such as tea, coffee,
butter, sugar and coal, should last. 1t
is by no means proof of niggardly
housewife to do so, but it is her duty
to herself and family to know what
use is made of those articles which she
provides. This duty may be done 50

nize. When accounts are kept-that
is, when The mistress writes down in
her order book the exact quantity she
wishes, with the date of the order
the matter is easily managed. The
housewife will do well also to keep a
price list, and she can then enter the
prices with the order. The practice of
some marketmen of sending from. one
to three pounds more than the quantity
ordered should be vigorously discour-
aged. 1t is practice in some house
holds where the marketing is done by
order to detain the man who delivers
fruits. vegetables and meats until it is
seen if they are of good quality and in
proper condition. If it is possible to
do this, aud supplies not up the mark

more effective in securing good service
