It is claimed that with potatoes grown on land tbat has been tilled so ns to permit of perfeet drainage there is less liability of the tubers rottiug than on other soils. The most important matter, however, is to use seed potatoes from localities where no disease has existed. O IV Hniid l'otatoen For K?rly Crop. When ordering seed potatoes for the early crop too much eare cannot be given from whom the seed is procured. It should come from a section Where no disease lias appeared, and the variety should be given consideration. Ho not plant potatoes on the flume soil upon which a crop grew last year. This Is not essential to observe, but IV may happen that slight traces of disease may have existed last year, which will remain In the soil and tcprend over the tlehl the next season.

Animals running around straw stacks nre especially liable to get. chafT into the eyes, which Is liable to fasten Itself upon the eyeball In a day or two If not removed. Take pulverized alum or shave some from a large piece with a sharp knife. Of this take as much as will lie on the point of a penknife and place it Into one cud of a small glass tnbc, or use a funnel made of stiff writing paper.

If we were to buy an animal for breeding purposes we should insist upon a perfect pedigree or should refuse to pay any fancy price. But what constitutes a perfect pedigree? It is not a long line of descent from some famous animal, nor yet one in whic h we can trace several crosses of his blood, hut we think it is one in which we can find 110 ancestor of a grade lower than what we are seeking to establish or perpetuate.

A pest of house plants in winter, Which refuses to be smoked out. Is the little black lly. harmless perhaps in its winged form, but more disastrous as a white worm in the soil. How to control the myriads which squirm themselves into a snarl among the delicate feeding roots of choice plants is a question with a goodly number of solutions, more or less infallible. One year I was a believer in lime water?one run of liiue to the pailful of water. Another year I pinned my faith to saltpeter water a teaspoonful to a quart. Last year I negleetud to sterilize the soil In a hot oven and the files rose up in swarms at my approach; they peppered the window shades and kept the housemaid in a stale of >vratli. The pots were vainly deluged with lime and the aforesaid salt peter water, hut the worms only squirmed around 011 the top of the soil and wriggled hack into it to complete their wings. Ammonia was most efficacious, after a few applications the nuisance disappeared. Likewise some of my plants.

If you wish to breed tlrst class exhibition stock next season, do not be afraid of the expense. It costs time, money and skill to breed up Hocks to a high average, :<nd the prices usually asked are always extortionate. If you art; not particular about exhibiting and dc sire some strong, vigorous birds that have no faults except a twist of the comb or some slight defect, for crossing on common stock, let the breeder s know It when you write and he will try to accommodate you. Remember, no breeder generally has two birds at the same price. They are sold according to quality. Therefore be particu j?r 10 aescriue your wants, ami do not 'expect the breeder to know your desires. A fair hatch from thirteen eggs Js seven?or one over half?though some nre satisfied with live. No breeder can guarantee every egg to hatch. He knows no more nlxmt them than the buyer, hut he should endeavor to send eggs from vigorous stock. A customer would he fortunate if he got a pair of first class standard birds from a sitting of eggs. Some breeders do not get such a pair from a dozen sittings. The customer is responsible for the hen that sits on the eggs and her management while on the nest. Some customers do not know good birds when they see them, and often complain ignorantly. The breeder must depend on any statement sent him, without being able to verify or deny it. lieforo complaining ask yourself at what pile? you will sell the chicks should you receive an order for them, and make a comparison between their value and their cost.?I*.

They must he so constructed that no other animal can enter them, otherwise they cannot be kept in proper condition of cleanliness. I Tlicr? should lie two or three or even more sleeping places provided for lurge herds, ho they may divide into small hunches. One end of an inclosed cattle Hhed, partitioned ofT. is as good as the most expensive hog house for tills purpose. Beware of cold drafts, and so oonstruct the building that the cold winds do not idow on the liogs. At the same time allow sntliclent ventilation for the escape of foul air. The floor may he of earth or hoards, as preferred. I llko a ground floor and so do the hogs, and 1 deem It (test to consult their tastes in tills matter. It must ho kept clean and occasionally rerouted with fresh earth ! or sand. Very little bedding Is re- j quired, even in the coldest weather and slough hay or rye stray is best for I this purpose. The bedding should tie cleaned out about once a week and, if needed, a little fresli supplied. Hogs should never be allowed to sleep in manure piles or around straw stacks if it can be avoided, or in any place from which they will cotue out steaming and sweating. That condition in cold weather is decidedly injurious to their health and thrift. The sleeping quarters should he sprinkled ' occasionally witli slaked lime or crude I enrbollc acid as a disinfectant. I consider it a good plan in summer to shut j the hogs out of their winter quarters, ( as much as possible, and let tlieni lie j in the pasture and under the shade ; trees.

Fi|;litln|; nml IMNrnum, Inseets and diseases cause loss to farmers and fruit growers at all seasons, but since the discovery of remedies that assist in the destruction of such enemies the loss depends largely upon the management on the part of the farmer. The sprayer is now as much a portion of the farm outfit as tlie cultivator, and the application of remedies must begin as early in the season as possible. In tlie ease of fruit trees much of the damage to fruit is at the period of blossoming, and preparation should be made to begin the work of ex term bint ion of insert enemies as soon us the season permits. Frequently a warm rain, followed by mild weather, may cause the blossoms to swell u week or two earlier than i usual, and it is at snob times that tin* j grower is unprepared. The most popu- ' lar mixture for diseases Is that known as "Bordeaux mixture," while l'aris green still holds a front place as an insectide. The Bordeaux mixture is prepared by dissolving six pounds of sulphate of copper in sixteen gallons of water. In another vessel six pounds of stone lime Is slaked and mixed with eight gallons of water, the lime and i water mixture then being slowly added to the sulphate of copper solution. This is used for the destruction of line terla, and may be made with the addition of more tva'or if necessary to re- ' dnce it in strength. Some farmers. In order to destroy both inserts and bacteria. add a pound of Paris green to 100 gallous of the mixture. The rule is for bltiug insects to use the Paris j ftreen. For diseases whieh are due to I spores use the 1 Bordeaux mixture. The | most important matter is to use the ! remedies at lite correct times, as a dlf- j ference of two or three days may decide tlie matter of profit or loss. Every year the farmers are cautioned to he on the watch for new enemies. Every crop seems to require treatment. The worm whieh comes from the eggs of the white buttertly at-} tacks the cabbage, while a leaf disease i destroyed the cabbage, turnip, rape and cauliflower crops in some sections I last year. Beans were attacked on the pods by senile kind of bacteria, celery suffered from rot, and tomatoes also , showed tiie effects of another form of rot. Cucumbers and melons seemed to suddenly wilt and die. although ap- | patently healthy, and even the hardy | onion has been found not free from do- \ at ruction. Whenever disease shows j without evidence of Insects the proper) remedy Is Bordeaux mixture, which Is , not a cure-all, but is the most effective I remedy known for the majority of the diseases arising from and propagated by spores. Of the Insect pests the potato beetle Is the most persistent, but Is easily kept In check ivith the aid of Paris green. Some insects, such as the squash bug, must be fought daily by hand, and the grubs that work at the roots of plants are too well Intrenched to be easily destroyed. Tobacco refuse around the plants Is considered j an excellent preventive In some cases, but only with persistent work can Insect enemies be lessened in number. The borers that damage peach, apple and pear trees must he sought and removed. Some insects work at night, depositing eggs while the farmer or grower is asleep, much of the damage to corn and early plants oeiug done by the cut worm during cool nights. There is no remedy for the cut worm except to trap thorn, or eateli them in some manner, although plowing tlie land deep and early in the spring, so as to expose them to the rains aud frosts, will destroy some of them.?Philadelphia Kecord. i?; ggjOr^ ,3Z3Zm' iS^\l/?MAH'S inSTLORLo BAG PUNCHING FOR WOMEN. An Kxprrt Say* It M?kri th? Thin Fat mill Vice Vfr*?. "By punching n rubber bag for ten minutes a day for a week a woman can do more to reduce her weight and to preserve a firm figure than by observing a rigid diet for six mouths," says a woman athlete. "Bag punching is the ideal indoor PTOPpIrO for wnmntl Thit nhtAAl ?' "It .. v>m\u> ? uv wnjrvt Ml uu athletics is. of course, to got the blood to circulating rapidly and well. It is the proper action of the blood that clears the complexion, builds up tissues and makes the thin woman fat. or burns out unhealthy adipose tissues and makes the stout woman thin. Plenty of good blood coursing fast through the veins is a remedy for nearly all physical ills that are remediable. "If a woman has n complexion like paste bap punching will start the sluggish blood in motion and give her a skin the color of peaches and cream if anything will. Hag punching exercises every muscle in the body, and especially those that have a tendency to take on fat. It developcs the chest and shoulders and neck and reduces the waist. Unlike fencing, it does not require an antagonist. Ten dollars will buy a first-class light rubber punching bag with framework support. and a fairly good one can be had for less money. This is all the paraphernalia necessary, except a pair of light weight?say ounce and a quarter ?boxing gloves, which will cost from seventy-five cents to Exorcise can be taken in evening dress or street costume Just as well as in the most up-to-date gymnasium attire. A woman will derive tost mk intwh l>..t?..Oi from the most awkward bap punching as from the most scientific. "With practice a puncher will learn to strike tli?* ball with the regularity of a piston rod. To begin with, she will merely play with It. and it will he n very enjoyable exercise, because a punching hag has some resistance to it. Dumbbells are well enough in their way, but they are very stupid and uninteresting. One takes the exercise because It is necessary and not hecause there is anything exhilerating in it. liur with the punching bag It is different. One must be constantly on the alert, and it is like playing against an active opponent. "in beginning it is necessary to observe just two rules. Suspend the hag on a level with the shoulders and strike straight out from the shoulder. This stroke brings Into play a greater number of muscles than any other, and it teuds to expand the chest and gives a good poise to the neck. Always hit the hag if possible a trifle above the ceutre, and this will prevent a rebound and a bruised nose. This, however, will he understood with practice, and It Is a part of the game to keep out of harm's way. "Hag punching is almost if not quite as valuable as fencing in making a woman graceful in movement and light on her feet, as the saying is. She will tlud in a short while that the ; easiest and best position for striking | tlte ling is to poise herself lightly on j tin? ball miil toes of the foot, thi? right foot a little In advance of the left. This will Rive her a springy step ami and easy and graceful carriage. "Ten minutes a day Is long enough for athletic exercises for the average woman, or twenty minutes It' she wants to reduce her weight rapidly. Punch the hag twenty-live times with the right arm swing, rest a few moments and then try twenty live strokes with the left hand. Strike with the greatest regularity possible, and If one is careful as I sav, the punches will soon fall with the regularity of a piston rod. Then alternate one punch with the right and another with the left. "Mark Twain's 'Punch,punch.punch with care,' about sums the matter up. Keep at It. Don't exercise an hour one day and then forget all about It for a week; although I am a believer iu the theory that even a little work Is better than none.'?Washington Star. Slic II<-11*?-<1 Mlike American History. Dolly Daggett was a Martha's Vineyard heroine, and her name will ever be associated with the famous Liberty Pole at Vineyard Haven. It was back in 177.*i that the good people of that village erected the pole on the highest point of land. One day a British vessel came sailing into the snug little harbor. Its captain needed a new liuist and sent a boat full of men ashore to obtain one. The Liberty Pole was just what they wanted, and they proceeded to negotiate with the selectmen, saying they would take it away by force, and therefore a price might as well be tlxed; so the selectmen sold the pole. Now. when Polly Daggett heard of this proceeding she became very indignant; she felt that the flag which surmounted that pole had been insulted, and she determined to frustrate the Hrltishers* plan. Learning that they were to come in the morning to saw off the pole, Polly took two girl friends into her confidence. When night came they went quietly to the hilltop, bored a hole in the staff, poured in a quantity of powder, applied a tire brand on the end of a beanpole, ami then watch with glee the fall of the poleruined beyond repair. The next day the men from the ship came for the pole and were furious to find the coveted "stick'* in splinters. The selectmen could not explain matters, but Inwardly charged the affair to the prank of the village hoys. The ship sailed away minus the Liberty Pole, and for many years tne three girls kept their secret concerning this Incident, which became Watery. On July 4, 1808. the Sea Const De* *fence Chapter. 1>.

They won l pattern after anybody but John Knox, and he said Ihtseha. Hut there is a reason for calling it Waster, for the coming of spring- the opening of the earth and the flowers is emblematical of the resurrection?the opening of the Savior's tomb and His return to bless and comfort His people. This day corresponds closely With the Jewish p-issover. and so they observe it. Now I want the young people to know that Isont Is another word that means spring.

As the old-time almanacs would say, "about this time look tor EaLiter hats nlnd flowers and finery." Christmas is another festival day that is common to all Christian nations. There are man) other days dedicated to the saints, Irtit in course of time it was found that there were not cmough days In the year to go round, and so the pope stopped the sainting of so many and had one day set apart as All Saints j day. The next day after that is All ; Souls day, on which mass Is said by ' the Roman Catholics for the souls of j the doad who are In purgatory. It seams that about, 900 years ago a pilgrim from the holy land found a hermit In Sicily who told him of an opening between the cliffs of the mountains near by that communicated with hades where Pluto lived and that he could see the sulphurous snvoke rising and hear the groans of the lost souls who were being tormented in hell and he had known some of them to escape through the prayers of the priests end this made the devils very mad and ho could hear them cursing the priests with awful imprecations, 'The pilgrom told all this to the abbots and monks, and they had a day set apart to pray these lost souls out of hell or hades or purgatory or whatever it is. Besides -these international days there are national days in every country. Here we have the Fourth of July and Washington's birthday and Decor, ation I toy and some others, Germany celebrates the birth of Oalvin and I.uther and the kaiser.
