It is a mistake to suppose that extremely rich soil is needed to grow paying crops of tomatoes. The fact that in olden times they were mainly planted on highly manured gardens led to this erroneous notion. But it is also the fact that as these grow the plants ran too much to leaf and too little to fruit. The fruit where much manure is used is also more liable to rot. This crop uses more of potash acd phosphate than potatoes, and if both these minerals were supplied the plant would be properly balanced, and its fruit less liable to premature decay. D.ry, sandy soils with mineral fertilizers produce earlier and better crops than richer soil more heavily fertilized with barn yard manure.?Boston Cultivator. "i. " IRISH METHOD OF SAVING POTATOES. ^ When the potatoes are dug in Ireland, k they are immediately picked up and deposited in a trench near by, about three feet deep and two and a half feet wide, and heaped very carefully in pyramidal form, pains being taken to avoid bruising them. Straw is then placed over them to the depth 'of about two inches, and earth placed over the straw to the depth of about four inches. Another layer of straw is placed on top of this, and then more earth on top again. This is done to exclude both the air and sunshine. By carefully saving Irish potatoes after they are ripe, in the Southern States, where two crops of these potatoes can be made in one year, there would be no difficulty in securing good potatoes for the farmer's table from January to January. The second crop of Irish potatoes is planted from late in June to August. They should be sprouted under moist straw Deiore piuuuug.?iricuyunc. CELKRT. Probably no class of people suffer mere with rheumatism thaa farmers, and yet the remedy for this dreadful disease is, or should be, right at haud. If celery were eaten freely sufferers from rheumatism would be comparatively few. It is a mistaken idea that cold and damp produce the disease?they simply develop it. Acid blood is the primary and sustaining cause. If celery is eaten largely, an alkaline blood is the result, and where this exists there can be neither rheumatism nor gout. It should be eaten , cooked. Cut it into bits aud boil till soft i in as little water as possible. Add to | rthis half as much milk as there is water in the celery, thickened with flour and eeasoned with butter, pepper and salt. If you cook it nicely and give it a fair trial,I am sure you will as soon leave potatoes out of the daily bill of fare as celery. It is nice as a sauce for any kind of cold meat or fowl, or for roasted poultry or game of any kind. Children will like it poured over boiled potatoes, or it may be drained from the sauce, mixed with mashed potatoes, formed into little cakes and browned. A ready-witted woman will find numerous ways of serving it. ? Country Gentleman. irTrcTTunvv TV p a vnT) At? Tirrra There are many advantages in raising ducks, one of -which is that on a .small place where you wish to have a garden a very low fence will keep them inside of their own lot. They grow quickly and are first-class table fowls, are less liable to diseases than chickens and will lay in as many eggs. If provided with good shelter and feed they will lay early in February and continue on regularly until late in the spring or early summer. When quite small they need attention, but after the feathers make a good start they can be let ruu and, with the exception of being fed and watered, they will need but little care. They are remarkably l^^cood foragers, nod if given the run of jSHkie orchard or a grass lot will pick up l^Be greater part of their own living. H^Vhpv should have comfortable nuarters fp?d plenty of water for drink, but a pond or running stream may be dispensed with, as they will thrive quite well without either. The Pekin is one of the best varieties, on account of its size and color, and the feathers may be picked during the summer. Ducks, however, should not be picked during their laying season.?.Veto York World. TIIE AUT OF FEEDING HOKSF.S. An English veterinary surgeon recommends that those who have charge of horses should be taught that the stomach of a horse is not like the rumen of a cow, a mere receptacle for food, but an essential organ of digestion for a limited caDacitv. which does not need to be crammed in order to perform its proper functions, and that it cannot be so treated without danger to the animal; and that the teeth of the horse are provided for the purpose of masticating the food, and that the food which does not require mastication should be sparingly, if ever used. He further recommends that no horse be put to work immediately after a full meal, and when a horse has done a heavy day's work it should be allowed to 6tand in the stable until it is cool and comfortable before being fed. A . little water may be given, and if a little good hay be put into the rack it will occupy his at tention, and besiue requiring proper mastication, will further have the effect to slightly stimulate the stomach to secretion, and prepare it for the reception of the feed which is to follow. Should a horse require more food than usual to supply the extra waste of tissues caused by hard work, give it by all means, but let it be in excess in its albuminoids, and let the horse be fed oftem-r and not iuML creased quantities at a time.?Hone and Br Stable. 5 ' : THE VALUE OF THE SrRE. 8 The sire is half the herd. A well bred j pedigreed bull may be bought for about ft f 150,a good horse for about $300, a boar ft for $20 and a ram for the same money, ft By weeding out the inferior females you will set, in the first cross, a most excel lent animal for labor or meat. Then by carcful selection and continuous breeding up, in four generations you arrive at fifteen-sixteeuths bred animals, essentially as good as pedigreed animals, except that they may not be eligible as breeders. You may still further improve your grades by selling the original sires when you have bred up to three-fourths blood, replacing them with higher-priced animals of the same blood. Then if you have bred to only the best females from which to continue to breed females for service, you will be surprised to find how short a time it takes to acquire a breed of really superior animals and that for wool, flesh, milk or labor, will command the highest prices in the market, thus finding that tho investment is one of the best ever made. Never breed from a grade sire, however cheap the price may be. The progeny of a half-bred sire on females not of improved blood can never get you a halfblood, however long you may breed, and if you start with females containing some good blood, the business proposi- J tion would be still more against the use of a grade sire. Rather than buy a grade sire at any price -you would better join witji a neighbor and buy a sire in part nership. In fact, if the farmer will take the price of two average good cows it will j buy a bull good enough to put in his j herd. So two good sows will buy a j creditable boar, four ewes a buck, and j four mares a serviceable sire, but never J sell the best females m 3r3er~*to Tjuy"a sire. - Never sell the best grade females I until toii Viotro o cm-nine nnrl nlinvp nil.

Bantams arc small eaters and fair layers. Cultwate less land if your manure heap is ?malr, *^' v Generally speaking, the medium-sized breeds are the best. The man is favored who is obliged to work, and is happy in that work. It is generally conceded that nest9 made on the grouud are the best. Steady application is what counts in any business, especially in farming. Cabbage is excellent green food at any time of year for all kinds of poultry. Bear in mind that clean earth is the best absorbent for poultTy-houses and runs. There are some things one farmer can do better than anyone else. That is the thing for him to do. Keep an account of time lost. You will be surprised to know how much time is spent foolishly. Thistles, daisies, dock weeds and wild morning glories are pets that should be kept down from the start. No satisfactory reason appears why women should not find in poultry culture a remunerative occupation. Keep the brain bright by use and the muscles well exercised; hard work is a good remedy for the blues. Remember that thousands of dollars go abroad every month for eggs that ought to be produced at home. Keep a strict account of everything pertaining to the farm. Know the cost of a bushel of corn, or a ton of hay. Poultry men in the vicinity of large cities find that broilers bring more money than anything else in the poultry line. Concentrate your labor, concentrate your manure, and you may concen ; trate your crops wunout lessening toe ! quantity. If you do not want the sills of your : barns and sheds to decay keep the dirt I away from them so that they will remain j constantly dry. Keep the best room open at all times to the boys and girls, and let there be books and papers from which they may j educate themselves. I All that is needed for the novice in constructing his fowl-house is a practical building, with good shelter, proper ventilation and a few internal arrangements for roosting, dusting and nesting. Look out for the leaky roofs on your hives! They are more disastrous and j annoying to bees, than a leaky roof would ! be to you on your own house. A good coat of thick paint run well into the* cracks will generally answer the purpose. The beginner has to commence at the foot of the hill, and learn by experience. True he should have some knowledge of bees and their ways in order to begin. He ueeds to read some good bee-book, and should take one or more uee-penouicals. If a farmer has a pood grass farm let him make a specialty of hay; if he has a taste for raising corn and roots, let him make them a specialty; if a love for raising horses or cows or making butter, let him put his braiu and muscle into these. First-class farm help is getting scarce, I and those who would secure the services of a good hand for the harvest must do so soon. When you get a good man try to make it for his interest, as well as yours, to employ for more than one season. Have a good aiticle, put it up in a neat, clean package, with good weight or measure; aud if you are pleasant and accommodating, and try to please your customers, success is certain. But whoever goes to peddling must make up his mind to work as hard or harder than if he were hoeing corn. If farmers who have large weeds growing in front of their farms would take a ride along those where the weeds are kept mowed down, it seems to us they , would surely mow their own weeds. The I trouble is light aud the improved appear! anee worth a great deal to the farmer aud i the farming reputation. A Hn^e Top. The Chinamen of Astoria, Oregon, are amusing themselves with a huge top made out of an empty twenty-five-pound white lead keg. A square opening is cut in the side, and it takes three men to spin it, one to hold the top and two to pull the string with a stick, which sets it in motion. While spinning it sounds like the whistle of a steamer, aud can he beard three blocks away. I HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. TO KEEr FrRS IN TIIE SUMMER.

The mystery to many people how the ' scourers of old clothes can make them look as good as new is explained in the American Analyst as follows: Take, for instance, a shiny old coat, vest or pair of pants of broadcloth, cassimere or diagonal. The scourer makes a strong, warm soapsuds and plunges the garment into it, souses it up and down, rubs the dirty places, if necessary puts it through a second suds, then rinses it through several waters and hangs it to dry on a line. When nearly dry he takes it in, rolls it up for an hour'or two, and then presses it. An old cotton cloth is laid on the outside of the coat, and the iron passes over that until the wrinkles aje out; but the iron is removed before I the steam ccases to rise from the goods, | else they wpuldjbe shiny. Wnnklesjhat \ SIP remSVel byla^ing_? [ wet cloth over them and passing the iron over that. If any shiny places are seen they are treated as the wrinkles are; the iron is lifted while the full cloud of steam rises, and brings the nap up with it. Cloth shoHld always have a suds made especially for it, for in that which has been used for white cotton or woolen clothes lint will be left in the water. In this manner we have known the same coat and pantaloons to be renewed time and time again, and have all the look and feel of new garments. Good broadcloths and its fellow cloths will bear many washings, and look better every time because of them. DIFFERENT WATB OF FRESERVING EGGS. The most common way of preserving eggs is to "lime them." By this process they can be kept for twelve months, or longer, but when boiled the shells are so affected by the lime that they invariably crack. For all other purposes of cookery a "limed" eggs is about as good as a fresh egg. There is, however, a prejudice even against eggs that have been perfectly preserved. For all culinary uses an egg must be "above suspicion." .Homing is more ueucious man a perfectly fresh-laid egg, and nothing more repulsive than one that is at best doubtful. Many grocers sell limed eggs all winter as fresh, and the number of such eggs used in New York in the winter season is enarmous. Eggs packed with the small end down in dry salt and bran, about half and half, will keep several weeks. If they are dipped in linseed oil before packing they will keep longer. To prepare a mixture for preserving egga with lime, add a pound of quicklime to a gallon of water, and let the preparation cool for twenty-four hours. Pour it into a jar or covered bucket, where it will not be liable to be stirred, and drop into it perfectly fresh eggs. Be careful not to stir the mixture when removing the eggs. A French method which has been commended for preserving egg3 is the following: Dissolve four ounces of beeswax in eight ounces of olive oil, and brush over every portion of the egg with the mixture. When the subtsance hardens pack the eggs carefully, the 6mall end down, in bran. It is said eggs will keep in a cool place two years by this process, and it is certainly worth trying. The object in all cases is to exclude the air from the shell.?JView Fori Tribune. iiECirns.

To divide a sorrow with some one is to lighten it. The heart that has never suffered has never loved. No man ever goes willingly where his heart does not lead him. The way to do a great thing is never to neglect any little thing. All the reward love ever asks is the privilege of doing its best. If some of our heads were not so big, our hearts would grow faster. If you always do good as you have opportunity, you will never be idle. Many people never accomplish much because they never plan for much. The man who would be a leader must never keep the procession waiting. Be willing to do good, and you will be surprised at how much you can do.

Much of it ii mountainous and wild, although it ii near the rich and populous agricultural region of the Cumberland valley. Wild animals of many kinds still roam in iti wilderness, and do annually much damage to the outlying farming population. Richard Cunningham owns a small farm in a wild part of the Blue Mountains. Like most of the land in the region, the farm is best adapted to grazing. Cunningham keeps a number of sheep besides his other live stock, and up to a short time ago some wild animals had been regularly making inroads on the flock, especially among the lambs. Cunningham had no idea what kind of beast it was, but he at last succeeded in cap turing it in a trap, and was astounded to find that he had caught a wolf, an animal supposed to be extinct in the Blue Mountains. The wolf was a she one, and although she was held by both fore feet in the strong jaws of the steel trap, she was suckling a baby wolf probably three weeks old. Cunningham shot the old wolf and captured the cub alive, and took it home with the carcass of its mother. The young wolf mourned pitifully for its mother, and Cunningham proposed killing it, but his wife would not hear to it, and took charge of it. She could not induce it to take sustenance, and it was in a good way to die of hunger when Mrs. Cunningham had a bright idea. The night before the wolf was trapped one of their ewes was robbed of her lamb, undoubtedly by the wolf. Failing in all her methods of introducing food into the baby wolf's stomach, Mrs. Cunningham carried the cub to the past| ure, and finding the swe, which was still | lamenting the loss oi tier lamD, sne neiu the wolf to the sheep's udder. Instantly the wolf began to suckle eagerly, and the farmer's wife had the satisfaction of seeing the orphan wolf take a hearty meal. The ewe was at first greatly averse to this operation, but finally submitted graciously, and seemed satisfied to let it procccd. The success of Mrs. Cunningham's plan to feed the younij wolf being assured, the ewe was brought from the pasture to the farm yard, and every day the straDge spectacle of a sheep suckling a wolf?and that wolf the offspring of the one that bereft her of her own? may be seen at the Cunningham farm. The wolf cub is thriving amazingly on sheep's milk, and the strange foster parent. and child have become warmly at tached to one another.?New York Sun. Chinese Arbitrators of Market Valnes. The Chinese authorities have a system of securing steadiness and uniformity in j the prices of commodities which has the merit of simplicity, but, unfortunately, it appears from the complaints of the traders in that country to be open to abuses. It consists in appointing a class of public arbitrators and appraisers known as "Ching Chi," who declare the justand proper prices of all things that come into the markets for sale. Perhaps this is not much more anomalous than the timchallowcd custom of fixing the price of bread by the fiat of the Lord Mayor, which was still in existence within the memory of living persons. But bread is only one article, and Lord Mayors are not easily counterfeited, whereas there are, it appears, sham Ching Chi going about with forged credentials. As these impostors are said to make all sorts of exactions, practise all manner of hardships upon the petty dealers and hawkers, and create a general disturbance in the market, the vigilant eye of the young Emperor will no doubt be directed to these grievancer. Complimentary Colors. Accidental colors are those depending on some affection of the eye, and not belonging to light itself, or any quality of the luminous object.

If the wafer is red, the imaginary spot will be green; if black, it will be changed into white; the color thus appearing being always w;hat is termed the complimentary color of that on which, the eye wafl .feed.?Dry Gcodi Chronicler^ | . . . v Stvry of a Greenback. i In I8l?4,when a Confedcnitc camp was located ou Marietta street, an incident occurredwhich, with its sequel, makes an interesting reminiscence of the days when the old Atlanta was more of a soldier's barricks than a city. The camp to which I allude, Avritcs a contributor to the Atlanta Constitution, was a good way | out on Marietta, and the site is now occupied with a number of new dwelling houses. Dr. Roy, of this city, was one of the physicians at the camp. The late Captain Alphonse Hurtel, of the Twenty-fourth Alabama, had been placed in temporary charge of the prison, and one day a Federal prisoner gave to him a $100 greenback bill to keep, fearing theft on the part of other prisoners. Shortly afterward the prisoner escaped. Captain Hurtel sent the money to his wife in Mobile, Ala., telling her to keep it, and if he did not send for it, and the Confederacy fell, to use it. When Mobile surrendered that $100 was a God-send to one of the many impoverished families of the Gulf City. And now the strange sequel:?Ten years after the close of the war, one day while Captain Hurtel was sitting in his office,a poor and ragged sailor walked in and asked: "Is this Captain Hurtel?" * * ? ? .1 - 1- / .1 Alter a quicK glance ai ine man a ieatures Captain Ilurtel answered: "Yes, and you are the soldier who gave me the $100 bill in Atlanta, Ga., during the war." "Yes, sir, I am," the sailor replied, as the tears rolled down his cheeks," and if you will give me just $5 of it now I will be thankful." A check for $'100 was given him, and the man fell on his knees and wept like a child. Once again had the same money proven a God-send in an hour of bitter need. Repairing Ocean Cables. Repairing is the most difficult and thankless part of an ocean cable engineer s work. Landing shore ends and laying out are mere pastimes compared with repairing in deep water. There is a considerable element of luck in it, too. Sometimes the cable is hooked at the first drag, and at others weary weeks arc spent in dragging to and fro over the lineof the cable without ever getting a bite. The modus operandi is to lower a grapnel over the bow, the grappling rope being passed under the dynamometer and taken to the picking-up drum. The ship then steams slowly across the line of the cable, dragging the grapnel along the ground. If the bottom is soft the cable may soon be hooked, and the steady rise of the strain on the rope shown by the dynamometer indicates the fact. If the ground is rocky and uneven the grapnel may jump over the cable fifty times without even touching it. The long delays incident to repairing expeditions sometimes renders repairs immensely expensive, and the expense is often increased when the broken ends have drifted apart, or much of the cable is damaged, and a length of new cable flas to De laiu. oome repairs to one of the Atlantic cables not many years ago cost over $400,000. There are now in operation 120,070 miles of nautical cable and a cable fleet of thirtysix vessels.? Times-Democrat. Breaks iu Mississippi Levees.
