A.GBIOULTURF. Stoikms Potatoxs.—There are three method* of storing in general use, each of which has its merits and its champi ons. Three general principles underlie these several methods, viz: Protection against frosts and temperature,freedom from moisture and avoidance oi heating caused by storing too deep. The ad vantages claimed for storing in barrels are that the roots are easily handled,do not suffer from abrasion, can be easily examined, and if disease appears it can be readily checked and removed. The chief objection to this method is the time and expense involved when the crop is a large one. Bins are largely coming into use, especially in localities near large cities, for the potatoes can at any time be readily reached and pre pared for market A cot 1, dry, well ventilated cellar, with the light exclud ed, is an admirable place in which to store potatoes. The argument in favor of storing po tatoes under ground is that there is lit tle if sny loss by evaporation. Objec tions to the plan are the labor involved in opening the banks when the roots are required and the risk involved from the extremes of too close or insufficient cov ering. 'When pits are employed it is important that arrangements be made for ventilation. When stored in cellars, barns or root- houses it is a safe plan not to fill the bins with roots to a depth exceeding three or four feet. It has been claimed that lime sprinkled in barrels or bins at that rate, say one pound to each barrel, tends to prevent decay by acting as au absorbent and neutralizing the earthy odors. The importance of excluding light from potatoes and keeping them as oool as possible without freezing,can- uot be over-estimated. Savx thb Cobnfoddek—There will be as good a crop of corufodder this year as iu mo t years,hence it behooves every farmer to look to its careful pre- servation, which is uot always done as well as it should be. It is true the od der Is a heavy article to handle, unless the husking is deferred to a period when the fodder becomes somewhat dry, sometimes a lit le mouldy, and then it is frequently left in the held until the latter part of November or beginning of December, greatlo to its injury, The corn itself, when the husking is defer red, frequently becomes mouldy, and its value deteriorated. It is better tq husk it as soon after the stalks are out and the giains have become hardened, and crib at once. This allows the air to pass through the mass freely and dries it gradually and safely. All formers, who have any experience in feeding good corufodder, must ad mit that cattle prefer it to the best clo ver hay, and it is fully as miik-prodnc- ing, aud more so when the stalks are slightly salted. They will then eat up all that is thus prepared for them aud thrive upon it. We know this as well from our own experience as the experi ence of others. Corufodder is uot, therefore, merely worth being cured iu the best manner, but it should be an object of real conoern with all who keep cattle, equally as muck as with clover hay. It is not pleasant, then, to ste so many fields of fodder everywhere over the country moulding aud spoiling late in November, or even the forepart of December, merely for the sake of a lit tle additional labor to preserve it as it should be. by storing it away to help out the winter’ stock of cattle foot!. Dogs have done more injury to sheep husbandry than all other causes oom- bined, and, considering the importance of the evil, it does not receive that no tice at the hands of the agricultural press that it rightly deserves. As a rule the larger number of dogs that de vastate *he docks are worthless aud val ueless, aud should not be tolerated in any community, but that they do exist is demonstrated by the complaints that eome from all quarters regarding their ravage*. The man iu charge of a herd of cattle or sheep that cauuot tell when some member is absent without counting the whole lot, had better go into some other business. We have heard the owner of a drove of near a thousand herd of cat tle at the West ssy he could tell if a sin- gle animal was absent simply by allow ing the herd to pass him. We would be inclined to take any man’s state ment to that efiect with a degree of al lowance. The successful farmer and house keeper are the reading ones in nine cas es out of ton. It is only by reading that one can keep up with the times in which we live. It has been aptly said thai au agricultural community without books auu papers relating to laiunug ufiu housekeeping aie like a ship at sea w ithout rnuder or compass. A practical farmer, ahd one who has thoroughly tested the matter, says that wooden poets will last in the ground even longer than iron if treated as follows: Take boiled linseed oil and stir in puluerized coal to the consistency of paint. Put a coat of tins over the tim ber, and there is not a man that will live to see it rot. Wk can readily understand how our neighbor who rises at 7 in the morning- and spends three or four hours of al most every fair day aud all ot the rainy days in the town or village, gossiping or talking politics, does not prosper at farming,and he does uot deserve to suc ceed. Mix chopped onions with the food once a day for several days and ground ginger two or three times a week and ■you may check early symptons of chol era in poultry. Afterward give both once a week. Do not leave any unoccupied land to grow a crop of weeds. W T uen an early crop is removed sow at ouee any crop that will keep them down. Buckwheat or peas are good and n ay be turned under before frost. Keep the poultry busy if yon wish to keep them iu health, and make them scratch if you wish for eggs; but keep them quiet aud well fed if you wish to make them fat. An agricultural experiment station has been established in Wisconsin. The work of the station is to be conducted by the professors of the agricultural depart ment of the Wisconsin university. Stone potatoes in shallow bins in a cool, dark, and dry cellar. As near 60 degrees as possible is the proper tempe rature m which to keep them through the winter. DOMESTIC). How to Remove Floor Taper pp.jm Walls.—Flock papers are painted with a specially prepared o.l gold size, upon which, by au ingenious process, the ground cloth, which is the dock, is dusted, aud to which it sticks, the su perfluous flock being afterwards brushed off. As will be supposed, there must be a good body of gold size put upon the paper to make it bold the quantity of Hook it does, and it is this body of size which gets very hard that makes these old flocks so difficult to get off. Obviously, the principal aim in remov ing these pspars should be directed to quickly destroying this gold size and let the water get to the paits under neath. Ttiere are several compostions which will effect this purpose. It can be burnt off with beat, just as paint is removed froui wood. Boiling water, used very hot, will soften the gold size aud paper as well, and will help towards the desired end much better than cold water. A mixture of common soda, used very strong, with a little quick lime added, is ako a good mixture to use, but rather dirty. The quickest and bo*t method is to use a solution of caustic soda, put ou with a brush made with fiber, as it will destroy bristles. This is a very powerful dissolver of oil or paint, and care must be taken in using, as It wil burn the skin and oi course destroy paint wherever it touches. Quick Rising Yeast — Bread that oan be made with one mixing and ris ing is often desirable. Soften one yeast cake with oue pint of luke-warm water, aud stir in one cup of sugar aud one cup of flour; let this rise. Have ready by che time this is risen one dozeu medium sized potatoes, boiled aud put through a oolauder; add these, with a quart of hot water and a quart of cold water and a little salt to the first yeast made, let it ris.e again. When risen keep in a cool place; it will be ready for use the next day. To make a loaf of broad, take two cups of this yeast, with a little salt aud stir iu the flour, kneading rather stifi; put it iu the tin, let it rise, and bake it. This yeast will keep two weeks m cool weather. Butter Dressing.—Four tablespoon fuls of butter, oue of sugar, one tea- spocuful of mustard, a dash of cayeuue, oue cup of milk, half cup of vinegar, three eggs. Let the butter get hot in a pan, stir iu flour until a smooth paste, without browning, add milk and let it come to a boil; beat eggs, salt, mustard, sugar and pepper together and add the vinegar; stir this into the boiling mixture until it thickens as soft oiibtard: t ake off immediately or it will curdle. Set away to cool; bottle it if you wish and it will keep for two weak*. To wash printed goods which Lave a black ground with a white pattern : dis solve two ounces of common salt, two ounces of red chromate of potash, and two aud a half ounces of sal soda in a wash-boiler of water heated to boiling point. Put the dress into this hot bath for live minutes, and frequently turn and stir it. Then w ash it thoroughly in clean water. The black ground will not bo dull and “foxy,” aud the white portion of the goods will appear per fectly bright and clear. -Baltimoke Pudding. —One cup of molases, oue oup ot milk, oue of chop ped suet, one of chopped raisins, three and a half cupfuls of flour, oae tea- spoonful of suleratus, one tablespoon- ful of ciuuamou, one teaspoonful of cloves, one of mace, one of allspice and one of grated nutmeg.

How to keep flowers.—Mix a little carbonate of soda with the water in which flowers are immersed, aud it will preserve them for a fortnight. Com mon salpetre is also a very good preser vative. How to cure hiooouqh.—Hiccough in children was immediately stopped or checked by giving them a lump of sugar saturated with vinegar. The same rem edy was tried ou adults with similar in stantaneous effect. Surprise Cakc.—Oue egg, one cup o! sugar, a scant half cup of butter, oue cup of sweet milk, oue and a half cups of flour, and three teaspoonfuls of bak ing powder.

An old msn was arraigned before an Arkansas court for some trifling offense, aud among the witnesses was au old woman who, iu giving her testimony, made snob efforts to shield the old man that the judge asked : “Madam, have you known this man very long?” “Yes, sir,” the old woman replied. “I have known him s very long time. When I was a young girl this man used to visit me. Iu fact, Judge, we were sweethearts,” aud she twisted her apron aud looked dowq. “Ah, I see I” the Judge replied, “used to be sweethearts, aud think so much of each other now because you did uot marry each other then ?” “You are mistaken, Judge, for we did marry each other then, and are husband and wife now. ” “Indeed 1” the Judge exclaimed, “this is a remarkable cose.

Planet the proprietor of the menagerie, accom panied the artist in his adventurous round, and the animals, as a rale be haved very well. A splendid group, consisting of a lion, lioness and two cubs, was particularly successful, the “sittera” not moving a muscle daring tbe operation. The leopard, too, prov ed an excellent subject. The tigress, however, exhibited a specimen of her temper in two vigorons dashes on tbe photographic apparatus,in one of which M. Pettit received a savage blow of her paw on the leg. This, a French paper states, is the first time that wild beasts have been photographed in their dens, and it is believed that the results of M. Pettit’s dangerous experiment will be of considerable service to animal painters and sculptors. “Threw Away Her Supporter.” • Dr. Pierce:—A neighbor of ours was suffering from “female weakness” which the doctors told her could not be cured without a supporter.

Tbe kola nut is largely usee in tropical Africa to make an invigorat ing beverage, and some months ago i i was snbjected to a careful analysis, the result of which was that it was found to be richer in caffeine than the beat cof fee, while it contains the same active principle as cocoa, The negroes are said never to tonoh coffee when tbey can obtain kola nut. Dr. Darnell, an antbority on such matters, says that it will toon find its way into European commerce. Samples have been sent to medical men in London for experiment, and to fanners and planters for agricul tural purposes.

Mr. Henry Williams was recently spoken to about his general health. He replied by making ageueral statement, which is in sub stance as follows: I w as formerly employed in the sewing machine works at East Bridge port,Conn.,until I was taken sick and obliged to leave work. After a couple of months of hard battle I am about well and ready to return. I feel impelled, from a sense of duty, to make known my case, with the hope that it! will be made known to every suffering man ! and woman with diseased kidneys,that there is a medicine called Hunt’s Remedy capable, as I believe, of curing any case of the most extreme form, and when no other relief can be obtained. I will give you some of the details of my case, observing at the same time that language could hardly describe my sufferings. About two months ago I caught a heavy cold which settled in my kidneys, and the pains in the small of my back were some thing fearful. I was unable to work, and suffered the most when walking or standing for any length of time; had two doctors, but received no benefit from either. I had a natural antipathy against patent medicines, but I tell you that is all gone. I saw Hunt’s Remedy advertised, sent and got a bottle, aud with the first dose I began to get well. I continued the use of it, and am now around as you see me, and am perfectly well, and am about to go to work. I consider it the greatest medicine for kidney complaints ever yet discovered.
