Sorting Potatoes.

No other crop Is 50 perlshable AZ
the early Irish potato crop. The
small potatoes are especially SUBJ
ject TO damage These should
never be shipped with the large
ones, to be cruehed by the heavy
weight. Early potatoes are imma.
ture. tender, heat quickly, and the
damage spreads rapidly from one
to another. For these reasons many
reports come back from the mar.
kete, "arrived in bad condition"
These reports are not all matters Of
fiction.
BY sorting out tue small very
tender potatoes We insure safer car.
rage to market, and this grading
Increases the price Of potatoes per
hushel. 1t is easy to see that tue
small potato not only does moi sell
Tor enough to pay its freight, but Is
source OF damage and loss
TO every other potato neal it.-Farm

Cattle, as a rule, are in a very
poor and weak condition, owing to
the recent severe weather and a
dearth of grazing in the woods,
caused BY the freeze aud forest
fires. The latter are of annual oc.
currence, and invariably result IN
injury to livestock, besides detract-
ing from the fertility OF the soil
by destroying humus-forming sub

against setting FIRE to the grass and
