4^ AGBlOITl.rURE. Potato Planting!,—Alter the sod has been tamed over,manure may bespread broadcast, harrowed in, then 'furrow out three feet and a halt apart, and if your potatoes have not been started a hotbed, and the sprouts are not show ing themselves much; place them in a box behind the kitchen stove for a few days, but don’t wait for the sprouts to grow to any extent, and be careful not to break them off. If the potatoes are of good size, out them so as not to have more than two eyes in one cutting, but the largest potatoes will be obtained from one. Plant them in drills about one foot apart, using a little commer cial fertilizer as it is not only good for giving the plant a fair start, but also for driving away the worms which prey upon the potato when it nears maturity. Strong barn-yard manure, when placed in the hill, is a little apt to give a rank taste to the potato. Of the different varieties few are better than the Early Bose. The Early Vermont is claimed to be about ton davs earlier than the rose, but when upon the table it is a matter of doubt whether any one can tell the uifference. The Ohio ranks among the early varieties, and has been tested with the Early Rose aid Ver mont; and of those who have tried them all, if the question were put to the vote, the much-lauded Ohio would not have a greater number of friends than the oth er two varieties, but the price at which the several seeds are held over mare common sorts will prevsnt them for a year or two from coming into general culture. The amateur farmer, who has money to spend, we recommend to try all new varieties of every kind of vege table and fruit. The average cultivator, who farms for a living, can wait the de cision of the amateurs, and in this man ner he will find himself greatly indebt ed to the “gentleman farmer,” of whom he sometimes speaks with contempt. Goat Daibies.—A Goat Society is in existence in England, not a society of goats, of course, but of geutlemeu in terested in these animals, on account of the nutritious and curative properties of goats’ milk. The secretary of the society says that twelve years ago few goats could be found which would give more than a quart a day;but now,owing to the care which has been expended upon their breedieg, spec'inens are pro duced wiiich will yield three or even four' times that quantity. Some ani mals command prices ranging between five and ten pounds, and when once ac quired are found so valuable that they are not readily parted with. The sec retary asserts—alter many years’ expe rience—that goats in that country do best " hen housed both day and night during the autumn and winter seasons. The quality of the milk is in no way af fected by such confinement; and it pro perly tended, the stall-fed animal will yield a far better return than one not having the benefits of shelter and warmth. The Canadian Horticulturist tells how to blanch celery : ‘ To blanch ea sily and rapidly goon your knees as ride tne row; take a plant m oue hand,shake it aud squeeze it close to get out the earth from centre, holding it in oue hand, witn the other draw the earth up to the plant ou that side; take the plant in the other hand and draw the earth t n other side, alter which let go of the plant and draw the earth from both sides, pressing it against the plant. After your row is gone over and blanch ed finish up with a hoe. Two blanchings are enough. A sprinkhug of salt along the row has been found to be of advan tage at the time of blanching,” _ An English gardener, Mr. Barnes, of Devonshire, in giving an opinion of the importance of hoeing, said he * 'did not agree with those who say that one good weeding is worth two hoeings, 1 say, never weed any crop in which a Loo can be go* between the plants, not so much for the sake of destroying the weeds and vermin, which must necessarily be the the case if the hoeing bo done well, as for increasing the porosity of the soil to allow the water and air to pene trate frtely through it.” He adds; “I am well convinced, by long and close practice, that oftentimes there is more benefit derived by crops from keeping them well hoed than there is from the manure applied. Weeds or no weeds, I still keep stirnug the soil, well knowing from practice the very beneficial effects it has. In potting strawberry plants use small fiower pots about two or three inohes in diameter, filled with tine heavy soil. Sink them to the rim directly under a runner just forming a young plant, and place a small stone on the runner to Keep it m place. In a few weeks the roots will be formed aud the pot may be removed. A ViiisiNiA sheep-breedor, who pre fers Shropshire Down*, had 90 lambs from sixty-se^en eae<, and the previous year he had 121 lambs from 80 ewes, raising 114 of the lambs. The secret of his success is tLa’ he never allows a ewe to breed before she is 2 years old,and he disposes of ner when she reaches the age of 6 years. The Rothamstead experiments de monstrate that.while a commercial fer tilizer may be so oompoundad as to be even better in its effect upon the wheat crop than the manure of the barnyard, yet it must be sold ai, a much lower price than is now asked for any such fertilizer before the farmer can afford to buy it. This, however, alludes to En glish method. It is said that weeds may be destroy ed for years by copious watering with a solution of lime and sulphur in boiling- hot water. This, if efleotual, will be highly important to such as have garden gravel walks, pavements, etc., through which grass aud weeds grow np. Most failures to grow celery origi nate in not having the soil rich enough. The manure intended for this mop should, if possible, be applied the pre vious fall, so that it may become thor oughly incorporated with the soil. This will help keep the soil moisi during summer droughts. To kill the larvn of the peach borer and prevent egg-laying, apply to the base of the trunks the following com pound; To ten gallons of soft soap add as much hot water; then stir in a half pint of crude carbolic acid and let it ■ and over night;next add three times its bulk of water, and it is ready for use.

V. Bailey, Superintendent of the Mails, is kept exceedingly busy, but somehow he finds a spare hour or day to go fishing, and from his experience he gives his testimony, that St. Jacob’s Oil is the best remedy in the world for rheumatism, sprains, sore feet and joints, bruises, etc. It is the re medy for fishermen and gunners, who should always keep a bottle on hand. Young people who like to experiment with pop corn can try the following re ceipt for crystallizing it: Put into an iron kettle one tablespoonful of butter, three tablespoonfuls of water, aud one eup of white sugar; boil until ready to candy, then throw in three quarts nicely popped corn; stir vigorously until the sugar Is evenly distributed over the coru; take the kettle from the fire and stir until it cools a little, and in this way yon may have each kernel separ ate and all coated with sugar. Of course It must have your undivided at tention from the first, to prevent scorch ing. Almonds, English walnuts, or in fact any nuts are delicious prepared iu this way. A Lucky Chance. Of all men no doubt the mechanic and laborer suffer more from disease than any other class—not always in the disease Itself, but fhe circumstances surrounding their cases. Who can depict a more horrifying scene than that of the prosperous mechanic, who, by some dreadful disease, Is reduced In ilesh and strength, having no power of con trol, a helpless prey to some malady? Per haps the family of the worthy man may be Buffering for the necessaries of life, all be cause ‘‘father” is unable to work. Why then do not all men grapple with the first symptomsof disease (of whatever name or 'nature), and thereby prevent this sad picture. This is jnst what Mr. Hiram FrankliNjOI Naugatuck, Conn., did when he began to feel a heavy, dull pain in the small of his back, which steadily grew worse until he had to do one of two things: either give up work or die, or look around for some means to cure kidney disease, and a lucky chance threw In his way a safe and certain means of de li verame. The facts in Mr. F.’s case are these: His business (mason and builder) requires him to be exposed in all sorts of weather, tto- cently, from a severe cold, he contracted a disease of the kidneys, and like many others began usi ng every thing at hand. Not flnd- Ing any help, as a last resort he began taking Hunt’s Remedy. The first bottle giving de cided benefit, he continued its use until he bad used three (3) bottles, when all trouble disappeared. Mr. F. is now attending to business, a well man, and recently remarked to an acquaintance: ‘‘One trial convinced me, as it will you.” We need scarcely add H unt s Remedy is purely vegetable, and meets a want never before furnished to those suffering from kidney and liver complaint, dropsy, etc., and the utmost reliance may bo placed iu it 7 ' A delicious apple pudding to be served hot is made thus: Peel and quarter enough apples to cover the bottom of a deep tinplate; then make a batter of sour milk, soda aud flour, with a tenspoonful of lard to enough flour to make a batter which will cover the apples. This should not be thicker than for pancakes. Pour it over the apples and bake till brown. Then, when done, turn it on a large plate, with the crust down. Over the apples scatter sugar and cinnamon. If you like it rich, spread a thin layer of but ter over the apples before putting the sugar and cinnamon on. What in '’oney Weighed against that heali !t so often falls to buy ? Dross indeed.

The height of the waves at this place was several times measured or estimated, the result being abont forty-two feet from oreat to hollow, and stones of eight and ten tons of weight werr by snch waves carried from the parapet to the top of the breakwater. This led to the cons traction of the out ward extremity of the breakwater by depositing three courses of one-hundred ton blocks of stone on the rabble base as a foundation for three courses of large flat stones, surmounted by a mon olith of cemented rabble built on the spot; the end of the breakwater was thus, in substance, a monolith weighing upward of eight hundred ton., being abont twenty-six by forty-five feet and eleven feet in thickness, cemented to the rabble mass below. Bat even this huge monolithic structure succumbed to the force of the waves, being slewed around by snooessive strokes, until it was finally removed and deposited—a body of nearly fourteen hundred tons— inside of the pier, without breaking.

Townsend, of Vir ginia City to ran a nnmber of arastras by sand. The arastras are placed in a light sandy field where only sufficient water for drinking purposes aud to moisten the ore to be operated upon can be obtained, The sand drives a large overshot wheel, taking the place of water. It was at first Mr. Townsend’s intention to ran the arastras by moans of a large windmill, bnt as the speed was naturally irregular he adopted the present method. The windmill now runs a belt containing a number of buckets, and these carry sand up to a large tank somewhat in the way that grain elevators carry wheat. A stream of sand being let ont upon the overshot wheel causes it to revolve, just as it would under the weight of a stream of water,and thus far the method is said to have been found very saccessfnl.
