Tho Sweet Potato.
Growing sweet potato plants for tlio
moro northern section of tho coun
try has developed into quite- n Imsliies,
nnd in nil our lnrgo towns mid cities
tho hot-houses nro largely devotcti to
raising sprouts nnd slips. Thoy nro
started about tho first of April, and
tlioir growtli will largely dono id upon
tho condition of tho soil anil tho quali
ty of tho seed planted. Thoforcinc-bjds
nro thoroughly enriched with fertilizers,
so as to insure a ropid growth that will
enablo tho grower to put tho plants on
tho market from tlio liith of May to
tlio 1st of June.
Tho way to plant is as follows : Gut
tho potato length wise, and put pieces,
cut sldo down, closo together, in tlio
drill previously made, and cover to a
depth of two or throo inches. Tlio soil
will need watering with tepii water
every few days, so that there will ho
moisture enough for tho Biirouts to
start and giow i but too much water
must bo avoided, or tho potato will rot
In n few weeks, if the potatoes planted
wcro fresh, and not dried and shrivel
led .up, tho sprouts will begin to show
through tho soil, and In duo time com
mence to grow moro or less rapidly
according to the richness of the soil
and tho caro given tliom. If they ,nro
slow in growing, a littlo phosphate or
guano dissolved in water may bo sprin
klcd on them, but care should bo taken
not to put too muuh, b'uico it is liable
to burn tho leaves. Very often tho
grower hurries his plants along so fast
that thoy become too largo before the
proper time for planting. Ono should
look out for this, as medium-sized
plants are best, and Bhould bo selected
Many of our farmers at tho north pur
chase every year from five hundred to
ono thousand "plants, so as to raiso
enough potatoes "for their own Juse."
Usually we' would select alight, sandy
soil, well enriched, nnd tho fertilizers
thoroughly mixed with tho soil. Tho
plants nro set in rows threo feet apart,
and two feet in tlio rows, so that n cul
tivator can run between and loosen
up tho soil. IIoo tho young plants, but
do not disturb tho running vines too
much after thoy begin to cover tlio
ground. It is best, however, to stop
their taking root too much, ns it makes
smaller potatoes in tho hill ; but when
tho vines nro lifted, caro should be
taken not to break, tliein where they
havo taken root.
SVo have grown sweet potatoes sev
eral years with varying bucccss ; some
years they would bo largo and sweet,
nnd another season thoy would bo
small nnd EOgny. Still, wo would nil
vise any one interested in them to make
tho trial with a hundred plants or so,
and the experiment will bo novel and
intersting to ono who has never grown
them, while ho may succeed in raising
a good crop of "Sweets." For north
ern cultivation, the Early Golden has
been found moro productive and valua
ble than later maturing varieties.
American Gardener.
Barbed Wire Peaces.
Thero is no class of people who nro
subject to so much annoyance, and wo
may add damage to their property, as
tho farmer. Everybody acts as if
they thought his premises a public
park or cqinmons to bo .trespassed
upon at pleasure ; and when they are
mado to understand that tho crops of
the farmer belong to. him, and that it
is by these crops, secured by the sweat
of his brow, ho makes his living and
provides for his family in tho future
lie is denounced for his meanness, and
treated as if ho himself wcro doing
somo unlawful act. But ho knows his
rights and will defend them to the
best of his ability, nnd among tho dif
ferent methods at his command to
establish them is the uso of tho barbed
wire fence. Hunters object to this
way of protecting his premises against
trespassers moro decidedly than any
body else ; but it is vory easy for
proper persons to get, permission from
tho owner to hunt upon his lands if ho
has no. objection to their doing so ; but
on tho contrary, if he wishes to pre
servo his gamo for his own use, tho
barbed fence is tho best means over
devised for the purpose. A corre
spondent of Forest and Stream, Mr.
Albert Doiniell, of Biddeford, Maine,
in roplyiug to another correspondent,
who denounces this fence on this veiy
ground, gives expression to these sen
sible views !
"Although I am neither landowner
nor hunter, thero are ono or two points
which 1 desire to mako on this sub
ject. First, I knoiV from n varied and
extensive experience in the "West, that
a plain wire1 fence even though it has
a rail or'polc at the top, is not by any
means ns effectual a foiieo as is the
barbed wire fence. Cattle booh learn
to crawl through a plain wire fenee,nd
tho wires cannot bo strained tight
enough to prevent this. Second, tho
barbed wire fence is not, on tho whole,
much , if any more dangerous than
fences of- other kinds. In the neigh
borhood where I resided in tho West,
tho only cattle which Wcro over to my
knowledge permanently injured by
wire fences, were injured by plain wire
fences, and I havo known many more
injuries resulting from board aud rail
fences and from stone walls, than from
wire fences of any kind. Third, it is
noticablo that tho opposition to the
barbed wire fences comes not from tlio
owners of tho fences, but from philan
thropists who havo more pity for
breeohy-oattlo-than for hard-wprkiug
farmers, aud from gentlemen of rod'
nnd gun, iriany of whom havo a deci
ded proclivity for scouring premise
where thoy are not wanted.''
In a little while longer tlio barbed
wire fence will become so popular ns to
bo generally preferred to all others, on
tho grounds staled ; and many persons
who were originally opposed to it bit
terly, doubtless from what they con
sidered; to bo tlio best of reasons, will
bo surprised that they should havo
been so' short-sighted, and will bo
among tlio strongest advocates of it.

A Bridge Two Miles Long,
A'anderbilt's new railroad is to con
nect with tlio Lebanon Valley road at
Harrisburg, near tho round hoime. Tho
plan ot tho bridge over tho Susquc
datum exhibits a continuous elevation
from a point south of tho Northern
Central railway to the point at the
round house, where it will connect with
the Philadelphia nnd Heading railroad
of what can bo called a continuous
bridge about two miles long. Tho
first abutment will bo south of tho
Northern Central railway tracks, tlio
second pt tho Cumberland shore of tho
river, wlienco tho bridge will bo carried
by n series of piers to tho Harrisburg
ehoro of tlio river, whore u third
abutment will bo erected, from which
tho track will pass at an elevation high
enough to clear tho Pennsylvania rail
road tnvoks, canal and PuicfM creek, to
tho point on tho Heading railroad
named, tho grade between tho point on
tho Cumberland sido of iho river and
the round house being not more .than
ono foot to tho mile.
Beea and Fruit.
At tho lato annual meeting of tlio
Northeastern Beekeepers Association,
tho charge thai bees injure grapes wns
,1:,. ,.,! ...ill. ......... f..i:.... 'I'.....
ini,iiMvii 1 1 1 1 muni: ii'uiliit ntu
bills havo been introduced in tlio Cal
ifornia Leulslaturc to forbid tlm keel
mg of bees because of the damage
thoy arc said to do to tho ripening
grapes, Tho Northeastern beekeepers
were unanimous in tlio opinion that
honoy bees novcr puncture tho skin
of tlio grape, though thoy frequent tho
vines to suck tho juiuo of grapes al
ready injured by birds or other insects.
This it was claimed, lias been demon
strated by carofnl tests. Mack anU
nro tho chief mischief makers. That
bees do not puncture urnpes, mav bo
so, but that thoy do a gi eat deal of
daniago to tho fruit by feeding on it
cannot no denied. 1 lie writer has
noticed bees last summer hunting over
peaches on a tree to discovor where a
flaw might be, that they might com
mence on. Whether or no thoy first
punctured peaches he could not de
cide, but it is certain that they speed
ily rendered worthless much lino fruit.
Some of tlio peaches were so covered
with bees that they had to be shaken
off tieforo tho fruit eonld bo gathered.
Bees should not bo kept where fruit
growing is an object, ns they do much
dnnngo to the crops.
Girls on the Farm.
A great deal has been said and writ
ten concerning tho rights of farmer's
boys but nothing about thu c'nls. It is
a common tiling ior farmers to pay
their son? fair wages for their work ;
yet tho daughters do not receive it dol
lar from month to mouth. Why should
this difference exist between tlio farm
er's girl nnd tho boy 1 The former is
quito ns much entitled to n reward ior
services as the latter. In truth, tho
farmer's girl is frequently tho mom val
uo of the two. She is expected in
many cases to rise very early, get
breakfast, clean up tho houso and pre
pare tho other meals required through
tho day, or if not, to at least largely
aid in all these household duties, in
addition she is looked upon by father,
mother aud brother to entertain com
pany to act the hostess, at least as
a creditablo cccond to tho 'mother and
whilo bIio may bo tho pride of the fam
ily, and regarded as a sort of privi
leged diameter, yet much is expected
from her in ton thousand smaller fea
tures of home life. Why, then, should
she not be encouraged witli at least as
much pay as the boy 1 In addition to
that, the farm house should be mado ns
attractive as possible witli a piano,
plenty of books, newspapers and pic
tures ; cultivate a tasto in the girls for
flowers, etc. Thcso features, with a
moderate anioiict of work, should pro
duce' a happy and contented farm life.

How to ti:m. that Entis aki: Good
Wo givo for what it is woith tho fol
lowing from an exchange, on tho way
to tell good eggs from bad ones:
A good egg will sink in water.
A boiled egg which is done will dry
quickly on tho shell when taken from
tho kettle.
After an egg has laid a day or more
tho shell comes off easily when boiled.
A fresh egg has a lime-like surfacu
to its shell.
Stalo eggs arc glassy and smooth of
shell.
Eggs which havo been packed in
lime look strained and show the ac
tion of the. lime on tho surface
Eggs packed in bran for a long
time smell and taste musty.
AVith the aid of the hands, a pieco
of paper rolled in funnel-shape and
held toward the light, tlio human cyo
can look through an egg, shell and
all.
If an egg is clear and golden in ap
pearance, when held to the light, it is
good j if dark or spotted, it is bad.
Tho badness of an egg can some
times bo told by shaking near the
holder's ear, but tho test is a danger
ous one.
Thin, shells are caused by a lack of
gravel, etc., among tlio hens laying
egtjs.
Many devices have been tested to keep
eggs fresh, but tlio less tinio an egg is
kopt the better for the egg and tho ono
that eats it.
An Eoo Tkstkii. How to tell a
good egg from a bad ono has been n
puzzler to many a ono in tlio past.
But according to a writer in an ex
change, this knowledge will bo with
in tlio reach of all in tlio future. He
says : "A bad egg is never welcome,
and nny slmplo devico that will quickly
nnd satisfactorily detect tho quality of
nn egg is of great service. Tho ordi
nary system is to hold the egg in such
a way that the hand cuts oil' all direct
rays of light from tho eye, except
thoso passing through tho egg. The
egg may bo held towards tho sun, or
better, toward the light from a lighted
oandlo or lamp in a dark room. Thero
is, however, a moro efficient and rapid
mode. The apparatus consists of a
tin cup I! inches high and i? incites in
diameter, narrowed in at tho top to
.hold an egg cudwiec. A small mirror
is placed slantwise inside tho cup. 1 ho
light passes through tho egg, and
forms an image upon thu minor which
is distinctly teen at tho sido opening.
If tho interior of tho cup is ' painted
black, the effect will bo better. The
quality of eggs is determined by their
degreo of clearness. A good .egg
shows a clear, reddish, translucent
light. Tho ease with which .testers
can hi made and used, should insure
good eggs for the talile, and fertilo
ones for incubation.
Altoona's Finances.
The city of Altoona lias paid its ob
ligations heretofore with tho exception
of last July, when n portion of tho in
terest duo was not paid. It is truo
that tho taxes levied for tlio payment
of the interest on tho pcriiiameui im
provement loan is not sufficient to pay the
interest, except asaboro tinted. These
improvement bonds are bearing 7 per
cent, interest, mid could not bo reunifi
ed until 188:1. 1 ho councils commit
tee on ordinance me now fraiiiiuir an
ordinance to provido for tlio refunding
of tlieso, bonds at -1 or 1J- per cent, in

bonds in 187!) wns perfectly legal, and
there is no question about the redemp
tion of tho same. The iuterst has been
paid on them since 1873, An indigna

A Tract of Land Now Worth $210,000
Once Sold for 70 Cents.
A tract of 900 acres of land in
Malianoy and Bvan townships, in
Scliujlkill county, wns sold a few days
iigo to Franklin II, Gowon, president
ot tlio Kenning Uoal nnd iron com.
Pnny, for $.M 0,001). 'Hie trnct had
been lu tho Hiehlu family uinety-nlne
years. Henry U. Brown, Esq., of
un isiuwn, win) is counsel ior mo
heirs of John Siumund Hiehle. tlio
Original owner of tho tract, and as
sisted in negotiating tho sale, has the
original patents to the owner, bearing
dato 1780. Tho warrants for tho sur
vey of tho tract were issued two years
earner. 1 ho patents nro two in mini
her, each for four hundred ncres, but
tho survey wns roughly mado and tho
real nmomit oi land conveyed wns
more tliau ono hundred acres tn ex
ecs) of the amount stntcd in tho pat
ents. In ono of tho latter the name, of
tho patentee is spelled 'Bhiiyle," nnd
in the other "Ruble," tho tracts being
respectively desiunaled as "Acton" and
"Milltown." Tho land is conveyed
with a reservation to the state of a
"fifth part of all tho gold and silver
ore found thcieon for the uso of the
commonwealth, to bo delivered at tho
pit's month freo of nil charge.
Tho trnct has a somewhat curious
history. Although now so valuable,
it wa, like many other tracts in tlio
same region, repeatedly Bold for taxes
during tho earlier days of tlio common
wealth, although redeemed by the
owners within the two years allowed
for that purpose, being in tho mean
time held by the coiintycoinuiisjioncis.
On ono occasion thu amount of "back
tax" for which it was sold was seventy
eight cents.
About the Queen Bee.
There is an impression prevailing
among the uninitiated that the queen
of a hive leads off tho swarm, but,
witli first issues at leant, it is seldom
that tho queen comes forth from the
hive until tlio greater part of tho hoes
art on tho wing. Another erroneous
idea in existence is that tho queen bee
is tho first to alight upon a branch or
a bush and that tho bees congregate
about her, but tho reverse of this is a
fact. When a swarm begins to issue,
if the lice keeper will place himself on
tlio shady side of the hive, and watch
the stream of bees which pour forth
like an army through a gateway, Iio
may see tlio queen coino out, nnd if in
clinod to prove our assertions ho may
capture 'and cage her, and put her in
ids pocket while ho wntehes tho pro
ceedings of the bees. When the
tlnong"is circling in the air ho may
imagino that the bees are searching
for her, and will' conclude that as thoy
cannot find her they will return to tho
hive ; but no, they will congregate
near a convenient reo or bush, and
make n great noise sufficient to attract
tho attention of her majesty if she
Were abroad, and then thev will alight
and form a.' cluster and wait Ior. some
minutes, to civo her an .opportunity ol
joining .(hem. If now she bo taken to
them," she will join tlio mass and all
will bo .well: lr not. tlio. bees ntter a
short time will disperso and return to
tho hive. ,

IJuring the war I continued tlio dis
tribution throughout Harrison County,
and also gave a great many Bibles and
Testaments to soldiers in tho Union
army. From my earliest connection
witli tho cause, whenever I have sent
to tho Parent Society I have met with
prompt and generous answers to my re
quests. After tho war I began to sup
ply the freed mi! n. At one time tho
Society sent me a donation of seventy-
five Iiibles for that purpose Jt is un
derstood nil through this country that 1
keep on hand all kinds of Bibles and
Testaments for sale and for gratuitous
distribution to the poor, so there is
hardly a day passes that I do not. dis
tribute from one to twenty. As near
as I can calanlate, I have distributed
between 23.000 and 21,000 vol
umes. Tho Reading Bnilroad is out of tlio
