opinions, somo people recommend
placing on the naked dirt, while others
say lay down straw Si nsciuni:it,
lliimiltoii, X. (
A nswKit The following is the
most generallv practiced plan: Potatoes
have in. particular stage of
growth at which they are "ripe," hut
will keep at any stage if dug when
in the proper condition that is when
the ground is dry and the tubors are
not in a growing condition. Dig the
irtder part of ()etober, or the first
week in November, when tho ground M
is dry, if possible, at least before sec- ! ^
ond growth sets in after a rain about ,
the second week in October. 1 )ig L
with care, bruising as little as pos- (
sible. Let them sun until in the ,
I I
afternoon; then haul to the place j
where to bo banked. This place ,
should lie on hitfh (/round, and liljiit, .
well-drained soil if convenient. Drive ,
a stake into the ground, saw off (
about three and a half feet high.
Pake the soil from a circle around
the stake, and form it mto a sort of ,
"circus six fee^ in diameter
with the stake in the center. Cover
<
this hod with drv nine straw or ,
broom scdiro a foot thick. Place the ,
" i
potatoes around the stake, j >i 1 i 11 <*
them up as steep as they can he
made to lie until thirtv or fortv hush- (
els are heaped. Now cover with a (
thick coat of pine-straw or corn-stalks
or other dry material, disposing the
stalus regularly around the hank. '
If no corn-stalks, use hoards, breaking
joints carefully. Then cover the i
hills thus formed with earth duo:
from immediately around the has?
. f .1- i :n . i ? > . i ?
ui un5 mil mini several incites iiiieu, '
forming a trench around the base for
drainage. As the weather grows I
colder increase the thickness of the j
earth on the hill until it attains a
thicknes* of a foot or more before
extreme cold weather occurs. The
points to be observed arc: Dig
when the growth of the potato is
suspended from dry weather; cover
with plenty of material that will keep
them dry and even, uniform temperature.
Shelters over the hills are
needed if the directions be well followed.
The thick covering of straw
or corn-stalks and earth, will prevent
the potatoes from becoming either
too hot in warm weather, or too cold
in cold weather, or wet in rainy
weather. Cover the apex with pieces
of hark or a board. ?Southern Cultioutor.
Make Home A (t motive.
Tho absonco of homo attractions
and homo comforts about tho dwell- i
in if s of farmers in the cotton bolt is i
one of the most lamentable features
of our agriculture. It is not surpri
sing that our sons and daughters
manifest a disposition to leave the
farm when we note how little there
is around tho homestead to rnaho it
attractive to the young. Impressions
made upon the youthful mind
are anting, and evert an influence
for good or evil in after years. These
impressions are pleasing or repulsive
and the remembrance of the early
days on tho farm will in after years
excite feelings of either pleususe or
repugnance according to the character
of the home surroundings during
the formative period of the sons and
daughters of the farmer. History
points to no fact moro strongly than
this -that proper rural associations
and surroundings during youth contribute
to the development of men
of strong character and sterling qualities
and of true, pure and lovely wo- i
men.
Wo have mndo the complaint and
now propose briefly to surest the
romodv. It is embraced in the caption
of this article, l?nt this will not
be satisfactory unless the question
"how" is answered. In the lirst
place, let not the fathers and mothers
forgot that they were oacO boys and
oirls, but rather let them keep this
fact constantly before their minds in
order that they may fully enter into
the joys and sorrows, the pleasures,
the ho es, the aspirrtions. the temntu
tions mid triumphs of their children.
ICncoura^e them to seek their companionship
1111,1 make thom their
confidants in all their schemes,
plans and aspirations for the future.
Knritnrnei! them to asl< (piestions,
and when possible answer them.
Kneonraoo them t<? lend a helping
hand and inspire them with an inter- !
est in your plans and vonr work.
Kneounioe them to plant trees and
flowers, and to nurse them as the
work of their own industry. 1 i\ w
eaeh one a pilj, a calf, a lamlt or
some poultry, and stimulate them by
the power which ones with the idea
of ownership to feed and care for
their poultry, the proceeds of which
should be sacredly theirs. In this
way a laudable acquisitiveness is ,
encouraged.
, , . . i
Take your children with you into
the field, the orehard, the vineyard,
the stock-yard, and explain not
oul\ how all the work is done in
these various departments, hut why
eaoli step is taken. Tell them why
some seed are intrusted to the soil
while it is at a low temperature, and '
why. others are withheld 'till the ?
omnia! rays or the sun have warmed,
the soil, and the len<fthonino days
. ' \
have tempered the air to the tender
plantlet. Show them the oennina- I
lino seed; the hirth of the plant, and (
Irll them the olliec performed by
aoh organ of cogitation, and ex- c
nlain tin* beautiful laws which direct
ind control vegetable orowth and
fruetilication. Kxplain the marriage
if the flowers and how the busy bee
performs the priestly ofliee of sealno
the matrimonial union. Show
confidence in them by placing responsibility
upon them nothing do- (
relops like responsibility?and if
hey make mistakes don't scold but
ncouange by explaining in what the
nistake consist, and an expression of
ho belief that "practice will make
aerfoet." Join them in their innocent
amusements. Su j ?|>1 v ihein (
with interesting reading; read to
Ihein, and have them to read to you. '
Kequire of them nothing that is nnreasonahle,
deny them nothing roa
jonahle. Komomber that children (
are reasonable and reasoning beings
ind explain to them your reasons for
your requirements and vour denial* '
of their desires and thus teach them v
to act from principle.
Stimulate in your children a taste v
for horticulture in all of its varied I
and attractive paths. Children nat- j
urally crave fruit, and no man does 1
his duty who fails to provide about: |
his country home not only a variety
but a succession of fruit which will
gladden the hearts of his family for
as ninny month* in tho year as pract- ;
livable. If children have aceoss to
ripo fruit tlicy will not oat it green. |r
Kvery country homo should have its (
strawberry bjd, its plat of raspberry v
vinos, its vineyard, and orchard of
figs, poaches, apples and pears, with
annual plantings of cantaloupes and
watermelons. No food is mora
wholesome in our climate than ripe
fruit. Pomology and floriculture are
the "line arts'' of agriculture and are
as neecessary to the completion of
th<< farmers' life and the refinement I
of his family as literature, music and
art are to the inaintainance of polite'
society. If the farmer will sur-i
round his home with all of the uc- '
cessories which our favored climate |
will allow, the dairy, poultry-yard,
apiary, orchard, vineyard, small
fruits, flowor-yard and conservatory,
with proper conveniences necessaryfor
domestic work of the housohouhl, ho
has a paradise upon earth from which
no wife, son or daughter would wish
to escape. There is nothing in which
our beautiful, sunny land is so deli-'
cient as in true rural homos.?JSoutfi0i
