A clny l>um is probably the best. It is the best as i> ia eool and moist, two characterise a which the potato requires, and wlilo are not so readily obtainable with said ar g?a?e!. Jjui the bum wanes to m melli.w, and deeply mellow ; this to so eure the one quality, moisture, which, in onr droughty summers, is gcerully found lackiog; it must not luck with the pota to. Hence deep culture, and when th. soil is in condition to rauko it most mil low, the state between the dry nnd vrct always avoiding the wet, the dry not im portant in tlio fall, RO that tho land can be well plowed. And the full is the time, and good at that. Tho soil must be re-plowed with the first chance iu the spring ; .it can not bo done too early, pr ? viding it is dry enough Cud the .-oil i well rotted, which it will be it the plow ing bus bceu done early enough iu the tall. This is important, this early work, so as to give chance for eai !y planting, for it should be understood, if it is not, that the potato cannot be planted too early. With the first mellow soil this should be done. Plow uot only, but cul.ivatc and harrow, so as to get the soil a powdery mellow, which the rotten turf will favor. Improved Soap Buuui.es.?We find in an exchange a paragraph which ten ches the urt of I'lowiug soap bubbles that will show the changing col rs of the rainbow, and may be of special interest to some of our 'uvonile readers. The directions are as follows: Take three-quarters of a pint of water that hps been boiled and become cold, and pnt into it a quarter of t n ounce of Castile soap, cut up fine. Put this into a pint bottle, and set it iu a saucepan on the fire; there let it remain an hour or so, now then giving it a pood shaking, till the soap is dissolved. Let the fluid stand quiet forthe impurites und color ing n.atter oi the soup to settle; then poor off the fluid and add to it four oun ce! of glycerine and your soap bubble solution is ready. Iu au ordinary way yon may blow the bubbles easily with a tobacco pipe, but if you wish toattiin scientific perfection, a glass pipe euu be emploved with better success. By ad ding a larger quantity of glyoerine, you may muke these bubbles so strong that you can play battledore with thetn. A Remedy kor Wounds.?A cor respondent of the Country Gentleman ?lives the following remedy |nr painful wounds: Take a pan or shovel, with burning coals, and sprinkle upon them brown sugary and hold the wounded part over tho smoke. In u few minutes the pain will be allayed, und recovery proceed rap dly. In my own Ottawa rusty nail hud mude a bad wound iu the bottom ol my foot. The pain und nervous irriti lion were pevcre. 'i his was all removed by holding it iu the smoke for fifteen minutes, and I wus ublc to resu ne my reading in ctmilbrt. Wc have often recommended it to others, with like re sults. Lust week one of my men had u finger nail torn out by a pair of ice tongs. It became very pniulul, as was to have been expected. Held iu sugar smoke tor twenty minutes, tho pain ccuscd, and it promises speedy recovery.
