WM 1■ '■ Ol' lute tlie potato lIBH bein one of tin' inobt prolitublc of farm crops in the Last, ami thin chiefly arises from the fact that it is Homewbat dillieull to keep any "reat quantity of tin tn. Thus only HO many are jirown that can be print reel, ami us the accom modations are limttnl there is no fjlut in the mm lot as there are with things which air ii ami must he Hint to the market at once, of course there are times when potatoes rule low. This is apt to he the case with tarh mil", crown especially for mrlv pur poses, ami which follows the same | law that lUICH in transit nt \i cetahh •. So also tie se who urow potatoes anil have no eonvi niciues for storinfj them. These have to he murki'leii in the fall, and have to take whatever price may rule for them. Those who have flood cellars under tin ir harns, or in any | lace safe from Irost and yet cool and dry, can generally make potato growing pay very well: and those are usually the ones who do. In old tinii s a large quantity of potatoes were storid out ol doors in the epen ground. Tiny were ar ranged in long ridgi s, not in great hulk, as even a mans of potatoes will In at. and coven I with earth snlll ciently thi k tokrrp out the fr. Ht Hut since the apj-eanir.ee of the pf - tato disease, this jilan is not much followed, though the ntln g has of late I nn v, ry much diminished. Thi iiifi' ti d tul •rs w ill often rot especial ly if the mass hems a little, and tin diseased oni s will often eomir.unicrti the dist:r<e to the rest. In a cellar this criti be seen and noted, hut in a mound out of doors no one knows of the trouble till spring, when great 10-s his Ixeti found, ik'kides this ' it is so drflicult to git at them in wintir that those who have noway to j -r• -i rve j otator s i xeej.t this, as a general thing prefer not to grow at all rather than to he bothered with : thi. Dampness undoubtedly favors the spread of the potato disease, and then fore where there is any chance at all of the disease < xisting in the roots, they ought to he stored ss dry us possible. Those which arc to he , kept in this general way should be dry and cooi, tint this should be es -1 pccinlly seen in the ease of seed po tatoes. Since tho potato beetle came among us it is clear that we have had the very best r< suits from early planting, and bv the use of the earli est varieties. Now these early kinds are more easily nfleeted by warmth than the late ones. They sprout easily, and c olness is therefore the more essential for them. Some peo ple think it makes little difference whether seed potatoes sprout or not iM'forc planting. We have known i |>cople to tor off sprouts several i inches long and cut up the lubeer in full faith that they will sprout out again and lo none the worse for it. They do generally grow ; hut there is little douhl they are constitution ally weaker, and much more liable to disease than those which do not sprout till ready logo in the ground. "FAHMINOdon't pay O, no; of course not, when it is carried on in the old slip shod ways of the fathers. It don't pay when farmers keep right on raising corn and wheal in sight of cities that are hungry for fresh vege tables and fruit. It don't pay when farmers produce nothing but inferior stutf that is always a drug in the market. And at best it don't enable any man to retire from business nt forty and invest in $.'l;i0,000 yachts. Hut when hard-headeif sense and business ability arc applied to farm ing, it is a good, a pleasant and a profitable calling.— Farm Journal.

K very dairyman should raise at least one-eight of an acre of corn fodder for each cow to help the pasture through the dry season. Wasps will seldom attack strong colonies of bees, but if a weak swarm is near a place frequented by wasps tliey w ill annoy the bees considera hly r \ I lie bop blight has uppearcd in some parts of <>tsego and Madison counties, X. Y., and threatens to re duce the yield one-half or possibly more. These counties are in the centre of the hop-growing district of New York state. I idler, in his "Small Fruit f.'ultu rist," "I do not believe that there Is one acre of strawbcriies in a thousand, cultivated in this country, that yields over one-half what it would if the ground was jroj>erly prepared before planting." The dead leaves on squash vines should Is- carefully removed and burned. They are usually infested with eggs of the squash hug, and the first leaves that appear are of rio use us soon as others form, and are then sure to wither and die. The Ohio ynrmrr say s : "The long est livid tm- is to tie obtained by planting seeds where the tree is to grow and grafting it there without removing it, but with the peach it is the way to give the greatest possible hardiness with any given variety." The '< ! r'lewr'r Monthly says let the laundry folks on every wash day pour boiling hot suds about the roots of peach trees, which will destroy the insiduous little fungus that pro duces the "yellows" and other dis- i eases, and furnish the larv.- of in sects which are so injurious. It is a question worth considering how much hoeing and cultivating, or rather how little would lie given to crops were it not for the presence of HUD*. The farmer IH ajit to say: "The corn or the potato field is get in _• v ry weedy and must U- culti vated." but one rarely says : "The soil must be stirred." Ashca vs. Vegetable Matter. A suggestive lesson may lie dcriv ' ed from the following simple experi ment Ujon one acre of land a furmc i plowed in a quantity of corn s', ilk-, while uj>on another acre he spread the ashes resulting from the burning of an equal quantity of ssalk l -. That upon which the stalks w<re burned gave the best start, hut the acre upon which tin- stalks were , plowed in soon caught up and sur- I passed the former, and finally matur id the better crop. This cxjierimcnt illustrates the difference latwecu mineral fertilizers and decayed vege table matter or humus. The miner als, luing in a soluble condition, soon made themselves manifest in the in creased growth produced. At first the buried cornstalks had no effect ! I upon \i gelation except by increasing the porosity of tlie soil and by ad mitting larger supplies of atmos pheric air to act upon the constitu cnts of the soil. When the stalks commenced to decay, and the min erals were not only liberated from the stocks but also from the soil in contact, then the corn which was planted upon the stalks began to pull j ahead of that planted upon the plot fertilized with ashes. The value and i • efficiency of the ashes would be soon, cr exhausted than the vegetable mat ter of the stalks. Again, where the stalks were used the fertility of the s il would lie increased, because in all probability the nitrogen contained in the stalks would remain intact un til liberated by their decay. This substance would be in the form of ammonia and its compounds, that I would again lie decomposed before ' becoming plant food. In burning j stalks, although all the minerals would be preserved in the ashes, yet it is quite certain that the nitrogen would be thereby expelled, thus rob- i bing the plants of the fertilizing | properties of that valuable agent We should have made such cxperi- ; mcnts before establishing a theory, j yet these suggestions might easily be j followed nut on otl>r farms and by i other farmers. tlivx the laying pullets a feed of ] good clean wheat at least once a day. I This grain will probable be cheap < this year, and can be marketed in the i 1 shape ol eggs to the beat advantage. I I TIMOTHY sown early in September, on well prepared land, without grain, will cut a full crop next season. We know thin to be a big fact. WE believe that two inches of mel low top soil is about tha best place for any manure applied to the wheat crop. Io you know a better.? A root shed or barn floor is a good place to put potatoes before storing them in the cellar—especially this season, when there is a tendency to rot. Now, do as we say : How or drill some clover with the timothy this fall—about half as much as you usually sow. The other half sow | next spring. Tins iH the season of the year when the implements and wagons of the farmer who cannot afford to give his wife a new silk dress are lying around the farm exposed to sun and rain. Tins month is a good time to go visiting to see what other poultry k< < pers are doing, how they do things, and the results. One may often pick up new and useful ideas in this way without going a Tery great distance from home. WK propose to stick to it as long ! as we shall print a pa|>er, that ferm- I ers and their wives shall go in at the first tap of the dinner-bill, cat at tbe first table, and be well helped. Other honest toilers may join the festivities, while lazy non-producers and useless people generally, shall wait for the second table and the crubs that arc left. Y"i probably have a considerable number of chickens about the place, and it none have been fattened and sold it is time to begin. Put up a | lot ami fatten them and send them to market, or take them 3 ourstlf if you arc n< ar enough ; you will realize as much money for them if sold now as if they are kept later. The longer they arc kept after this month is ended the more feed they will require, (let the cockerels out of the way anyhow.

Part the wool on the sheep's back from head to tail, and saturate with the melted compound. Calves ran be treated much the same way. Py doing this a week or ten days after shearing and again in tbe fsll, before they go into winter quar i ters, sheep may lie kept free of ver min.

They will even take the hairy caterpillars that moat birds dislike. Farmers and gardners would do well to cultivate ao useful though humble friends as these.
