THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COl NTY, PA. nl Agricultural. Improvement of Potatoes. An trttcto In tlin J'cvue Jlortlcolc tram lated, nnd publlslied In tlio Farmer (Eng.) contain unnin tiolnln tvnrlhv of attention hv our-Amc ficaxlarmers, ns the same princi pled Which govern tlio grow Hi of Ibis tuber in Ktiropo nre also potent here. When wo 3 want to regenerate any tmitlcular kind of potato, or still more, to prevent Its ueccner nl Inn, It Is of the first importance to mnko rt judlcioiir selection cf parent plants. Sever al in cam may bo nilopted to this end. Vor exsrupto, tho choice of tlio largest poislblo tu bcra which represent well the marked feat' tires 6f the variety, since the too frequent selecting of small tubers tends to deteriora tion. Another plau is to choose the seed, xvhen digging up the crop, from the well furnished rrfots, nnd select tho tubers which ro most typical of tho special variety un der treatment 'The shnpo of the tuber need not be too tnu"ch' considered. Some pcoplo imagine that tuberi which differ from tho usual rhnpe of the kiud to whidi'.they belong, aroof nee ,'esslty degenerate specimen, but this is au error, moors may bo not exactly ot mc shape characteristic of the variety, and yet produco well-shaped potatoes, in the follow ing year. Asa rule tho shape of various kinds of potatoes difTer according to the n' ture of the soli in which they are cultivated For example, It Is generally supposed that the "MarjouHn" ought to be lone atid nar rovjrj nevertheless, seme light sandy soils produced it In n swollen, and sometime oven rounded form, though it turns out long (aud narrow If grown in sttJT uoil. It is gen eral nhvslicical fact, common to almost nil , plants, and specially marked In tho case of tho potato, that if they are planted airly every year, their precocity increases, whilst fcy reversing tho cause of action the contra ry effect Is produced, and they tend to be .come later in attaining full growth. The some result appears if we plant successively in a cold, soil. In this case they become la ter in arriving at maturity, while tho con- ' irary happens if we select warm ground. Again it is almost certain that if we take the first buds that are developed on a potato for planting, the crop will be earlier than if vre planted with the second buds, or still more with those of a third germination. I' results from all this, that amongst the va rious precautions to be taken in attempting to 'maintain or even improve any variety ol potato, n judicious choice of tubers for plan ting is of especial importance. Tho employment of seeds properly so called, might olio perhaps be re-sorted to, sometimes advantageously so. But how of tou must wo not sow before we get good types, and good varieties as a result? Still, q notwithstanding its uncertainty, this meth od should' not be neglected. It is generally believed that, certain-kinds of potatoes, such sa.tho "Marjoulitf," neither fiowtr norruu to sed. This m again an error. AH pota toes will'rlower and yield seed when they are very "strongly manured and are in a con dition of exuberant vegetatin j but it is s none the less true that there are some varie ties whose natural strength leads them to flower and seed inoro freely than others, i .in . Milk Instead of Soap. A lady, writing to the New Yojk iribune ays: "Without giving any receipt for maW Ing aoap, I wish to tell n the hard work ing farmers' wive )jqw much labor they may save by not using such vast quantities of this utSk'. For nearly five years I h ive used soap only for washing clothes. In all that time I have not, used one pound of soap for washing dishes and other kitchen purposes. My family lias ranged from three to twenty-Ave. I have Uhed cistern 4w!J,Upjestono water, as hard as possible, and hard .wafer composed of other, ingredi ents besides lime, and I find, with all these my plan works, equally we'll. It is this: Have your water quite hot and add a very little milk to it. This softens the water, (jltes, tb dMieft rjnc gluts, nnd preserves the hands ; it removes the grease, even that from" beef, and yet no greaso is fouud float ing on the water, ns when soup is used. The etone vessels I always set on tlio stove with : little water in them when the victwds are taken from them ; thin they are hot when -1 am ready to waih llicui, and the grt ave h eajily removed. Just try my plan, jou who toll day after day every spring to make that barrel of eoap and' let 'i hoar how it tucm-ds with you. I Vdio the jsriat barrel of toap on washing .flays, but am glad to dispense with its aid on alt other occasion. I find that my tii ware keeps brighter longer wneu cleaned in thin way than by using t,nap, or by scour ing. The habit so many of us have acquir ed of muring tins is wasteful policy ; le present style of tinware will uot stand it. The tin is soon scrubbed avyay and a vessel that is fit for nothing Is left on our hands ; but if washed in the way I have dctcribtd, the tin Is preserved and is always bright and clean ." Slujiberino Plants. It is well known that plants sleep at night ; but their hours of sleeping are a matter of habit, and may be disturbed nrtiiicially, just as a cock may be waked up to crow at untimely hours by tho light of a lantern. A Ifrcnch chemist subjected a sensativo plant to nn exceeding ly trying couraa, qi,- discipline, by complete- ly changing its hours exposing it to bright light at i)lsb, so ns to prevent sleep, 1 J I -ii 0 ...mm U.. IWW UUIUJ llie flay. Mlie plant appeared to be much pur- zltd And disturbed at first. It opened and tlod its av( irregularly, sometimes nodding, in spite of tho artificial sun that shed its beams at midnight, mid sometimes waking up, from tho foice ot habit, to find the chamber dark in spite of tho time of day, Such nre the trammels of lite and wont. Hut after an obvious struggle, the plant submit' ted to tho change, and turned day into night, without any apparent ill effect. Hom (on TraMcript, The Scientific Amtifran sut'g"sU a&n scare crow, fitted to intimidate tho boldest bird, two small looking glasses fastened back to back, nnd hung by one corner to nu elastic pole, The Ira tut crow will depart if one of the lightning flashes from the Mill's re fleeted rays fulls on It i mi .
