Strictly speaking, no one ought ever
to store potatoes in tho house cellar.
But as hundreds of thousands do it
every year and will continue so to do, u
word on this line from American Gar
dening may not prove amiss. And, first.
potatoes should have been sorted while
in the field. It saves tho housewife some
work. and it saves storage room and the
later work OF extra handling. Potatoes
for tho cellar are best barreled, as they
aro then movable when tho accidents
Of time bring frost or water to the cellar,
supposed to be proof against both.
Above all, potatoes in the cellar should
be kept dark. Canvas sacks make good
curtains to set Off portion of the cell
lar and good covers for the barrels.
Light will ruin the favor of all potatoes,
and half light will cause them to sprout
far in advance Of the season. Let US be
forewarned.

Colonel Burr of Virginia was q
mighty fox hunter and loved the sport
beyond words, lie owned fine pack Of
hounds, and, during the season, thought
of nothing but his hunters, his dogs,
and the weather. He was once enter
tanning an army friend from Texas,
whose ideas Of hunting any animal in
volved tho use of firearms, and who had
never seen foShoupd. He had been
with difficulty persuaded to go forth
one morning with tho colonel and some
friends to a meet, and they were wait
ing iinpatiently for the hounds to take
the scent. Presently there burst upon
their listening ears the din of 30 canine
voices in full cry. The colonel's eyes
CLEANED, and, as he settled his feet in
the stirrups and stretched his arm to-
ward tho yelping pack, he cried, MA
jor, listen to that heavenly musici"
The major pricked up his ears for n sec
ond or two and then replied, 81 can't
hear thing those id dogs are max
ing such noise. The colonel put his
spur savagely into his horses side and
dashed away, leaving his guest to his
own devices. San Francisco Argonaut

After looking critically at a map of q
locality it seemed to become photograph
ed indelibly upon his brain and he could
follow its features without referring to
it again. Besides, he possessed an al
most intuitive knowledge of topography
and never became confused as to the
points of the compass. He was natural
"bushwhacker, and was never so much
at home as when finding his way by
the course Of streams. the contour of
the hills, and the general features of the
country. l asked him one day whether
he had ever been deceived as to the
points Of the compass. He said: "Only
once-when l arrived at Cairo, Ills.
The effect of that curious bend in the
river turned me completely around, and
when the sun came up the first morn
ing after l got there it seemed to me
that it rose directly in the west. -

nightly exercises in elocution Robert Sc

scribing lovely little incident in bird
life. Tho poem began:
A little bird sits on tho Telegraph wire
And flittcra and chittors and folds it wings.
Robert committed tie verses to mem
Dry with great care and appeared before
his audience with no end of confidence
He was favorite, and his appearance
was greeted with applause. He was
slightly confused at this, but began
boldly:

Then he forgot tho rest. He tried it
again in Louder and more confident
tone:

The Pekin duck is procured very eas-
lily from the breeders of poultry almost
anywhere. 1t is quito favorite breed
and quito common. 1t is large in size,
weighing seven or more pounds when
fully grown and we'll fed. But tho
young ducks, weighing about four
pounds, are the most in demand. They
are readily fattened on oats given in
water, out of which tho grain is gath
cred by the ducks. There is only one
other white duck, which is the Ayles-
bury. the favorite duck in England,
where, in the vicinity of the town Of
Aylesbury, everybody rears them in
largo numbers. Ducks need no water to
swim in. They arc better on the dry
ground and in green grass field. They
are useful in garden, doing much good
in gathering snGils and worms. They
have been known to eat potato beetles
and squash bugs. which other fowls will
not touch.

The seeds distributed gratuitously by
the government during the present tis-
cal year weighed $50, 600 tons and occu-
pied 80 mail cars in transit. The cost
of carrying them through the mails was
over $4,000. Enough seed was sent out
gratuitously to plant 116 square miles
of garden. Each congressman received
enough to plant 163is acres. For tho
current year, Mt present prices. the
amount required by congress to DO ex-
pended in the purchase of seed will
