' Vou may cease your discussion. I My mind is fully settled in the nint !ter," said Mrs. Grovenor, moving jher chair back from the family j breakfast table with an air of decis i ion that would have done credit to J a general of armed forces. liella, the eldest of the three mar j riageable daughters, and the dark i eyed beauty of the family, sank i back in her scat in elegant resigna tion, while M arena, the second child, remained nervously beating the bowl of her Fjoon upo the delicate China cofl'ec cup. She was remarkable for nothing but flirtations and a fine figure, and had insisted unon spending the sum mer at Saratoga, while Uclla had plead for a cottage at Ixng IJranch ; or Cape Mav. Fannie, the vounircst and fairest. the violet-eyed, sunny-haired idol of her father, had talked of the hills and the cool, green country. The discussion had waxed warm, and would have doubtless become torrid but for the timely decision of ma.lame, who said : "If I can find a place among the hills of iVnnsylvania where the foot of city p.l.rrims never trod, or where tourists never penetrate, there will I. metaphorically, pitch mv tent." "Oh ! the hills of Pennsylvania !" 'gasped Mareha. "And the horrid farmhouses, with their rag carpets, family groups of photographs and wheezing melode on," sneered Kella. "To say nothing of their home talent pictures and butter-crock pot tery," sneered Mareha. "And all the green woods ami s Acet-seentel meadows,'' exclaimed the delighted Fannie, springing up and huinfinz her pnpita who had dropped his eyeglasses ami newspa per ami was laughing at the diseom fitted 15ella and Mareha. "You have tlie best of 'cm. h, kitten, as you ohvaj'B do ?' said he. "I wish you would all reserve your comments until X have con cluded the programme for the sum mer," interrupted Mr?. Grovenor. "As I was saying, we will go to the country during June and a portion of Julv. The remainder of the time we will divide between Ixmg Branch and Saratoga. So make your prepa rations accordingly, anil let me hear no more about it," and she arose and left the room. Consequently, in due time, and to the infinite delight of Fannie, she awoke one lovely, crystalline morn ing in June in a quaint old farm house. The sloping roof of her chamber mattered nothing to her, or the dismal croaking sisters, who de clared over and over again that they should certainly die in euch a wild with confusion of the brain, as they were constantly forgetting that it was impossible to assume an upright po sition in their Innlroom save in its centre. For Fannie there was a world of space and a wilderness of bloom out of doors, and only six weeks to explore the whole, anil so the dear child of nature was always up with the lark and out in the tangled dew laden grass. One morning her mother and sis ters came down to a late breakfast to find, as usual, that Fannie was out and off, after having broken her fast with Farmer Ilobbs and his wife. "She's cone a-fishing. and wanted me to tell you that she wouldn't be back to dinner." returned their landlady to an inquiry of the fam ily. . ';It's dreadful, mamma." yawned Bella. "1 do believe she will be de voured, or something terrible hap pen to her." -Never fear, miss, repiiM Mrs. Hobbs ; "she'll be back all right. Has only gone up the creek, and there hain't no place in it deep enough to drown her, except the Devil's Churn, and that's three mile and letter awsr, and nobody would ever think of coing there, it's so wild and tangled-like." "I hone shell get enough of the country, with its wet grass, snakes and lizards," said Mareha, helping herself to a liberal portion of the sweet golden butter. "Never!" asserted Mrs. Jloblis, coming out upon the broad veranda where she usually breakfasted, with an armful of bright milk pans, which she placed in a row by the beehives in the sun. "Never ! ehe is one of them as is natural-born ar tists, and she can't no more live without nature than a humming bird without posies." Meanwhile tannic, clad in a pret- tv, dark flannel suit, neatly braided in a paler snauc, a jauntv sauor nai, stout 6hoes, an alpenstock, which by an ingenious device could be turned into a fishing rod, a little tourist's basket containing lunch and tackle, and fastened by a strap across her shoulders, had passed the rrarden paths, up the lane and over the fields into the woods, until she came to a little brook that went lancing over its pebbly channel and by moss-fringed and fern-edged banks, now glancing and singing through sunny glades or whisper- inrr and siclnnsr leneath thicRly matted foliage and darksome shades. Flushed with exercise, the young girl paused to now and then make little stores or gatnerai treasures, to be taken un on her return. There were matted leaves, trailing vines, feathery mosses, a branch of the ded icate shell-like blooming laurel, with a bunch of delicate ferns ; and she whispered to herself : "I suppose I shall have an awful time to get there, but I mean to ex plore those tangled depths Mr. Hobbs was telling alout, wherein lies that wonderful pool called by the elegant and expressive name of the "Devil's Churn." After lunching in a graje vine ar lor and trying her little white hands at fishing, she gathered up her pos sessions and entered the wildest and darkest part of the glen and began a climbing ascent over brambles and hugh boulders andthrough interlac ed branches that at times almost de fied her strength. Bui she scram bled on into" damp, gloomy Laby rinths, where rarely a ray of sun light penetrated even at noon. Ires ently the brook grew more and more omer ! turbulent and the rrlxmi more im- j ticnetrable, the way more difficult, and, but for the dash and aong of a waterfall which proclaimed itself near, Fannie would have turned back weary and frightened. But with a last effort she forced her way through a perfect portcullis of green, and with an exclamation half of fear and half of delight, paused, panting and breathless, up on the brink of a circular pool of dark green water, which seemed to be the heart out of which glided the little 6tream that had guided her thither. Into this pool from a rocky height there glided a waterfall of foaming whiteness, like the veil of a bride, broken into liitlo threads or ribbons here and there by sharp jutting rocks. Almost inadvertantly Fannie Btar tled back with an exclamation of dread as she glanced down into the pit of fathomless waters. Then as she stood regarding the scene it grew upon her in beauty and gran deur until she clapped her hands with delight, and whispered : "Oh ! was there ever anything so lovely and yet so terrible ?" Up the rocky sides of the preci pice, curved as a bowl, over which came the waterfall, grew mosses and trailing vines, gnarled, knotted, and winding in and out of the broken ledges in fantastic twistines and turnings. Iow down at the brinks of the pool ran a narrow pathway, formed by a slight, shelly projection of the rock and terminating in an out-jutting platform, upon which the parasite creepers had fastened their roots and by a freak of nature fashioned themselves into a rude chair, and which Mr. Hobbs had described as that of his satanic ma jesty. And so, she whispered in awe, "this is the resting place of the 6ul- phorous kins, or, U'tter still, that of lus spouse, 1 resepine. 1 hen she fell to wondering it she would traverse the little shelf and scat herself in the inviting resting place. The susnrestion nerved her to try and do so. and with the aid of her alpenstock, and clinging to the roots and tendrills of the vines, she slowly accomplished her desire and sat upon the curious rustic chair. lAKtkincr down into the green water over wliich she was literally sus pended, awe stricken, and then glancing upward she saw the sun light dancing amid the thick foliage far above and wondered if even a chance ray ever penetrated the si lent depths. As these thoughts flitted through her mind a single arrow-like beam of golden light shot downward to her feet and gleamed in the water beneath as a dazzling ruby in an emerald setting. With one hand clinging to her stout staff and one white arm linked into vines she sat and rested until chilled and damp ened by the spray of the waters. Then she determined to retreat from the dangerous position and return home. But upon regaining her feet, still clinging to her support, a low, rumbling, cracking sound broke upon her ear, mingling with that of the leaping waters, and the next in stant the entire ledjre gave way and the affrighted girl found herself sus pended above that awful gulf with out a foothold, save the smallest pos sible space. Involuntarily she ghriked for aid : but the noise of the rushing, foam ing waters drowned her voice as completely as if her white lips had remained closed ami mute. Thoughts of loved ones, the shel ter and safety of home, and the fear ful death that awaited her perhaps tiiat when she could hold on no longer and she had fallen into that inkv pool, nothing would be left to tell the tale that there she had found a grave, and searching ones would never have an answer to the question as to the mystery of her fate, forced themselves uon her. Lik a torrent the flood gates of ht r t-ars broke forth ar.d so exhaust ed her that she came near falling, but nerving herself she clung to her sweet young life as long as she could. Her sobbing ceased, and with up lifted gaze toward the calm, blue stripe of summer sky, she breathed a prayer for help or strength to die, if such was the will of the Creator. Then as if inspired by faith she sang a vers of the "Rock of Ages," and never were sweeter notes blend ed with that leaping, dancingwater fall, though hundreds of blythe songbirds had vied with each other in anthems of praise of the Divine Architect of the grand old rock and hills. Softly rose the trembling voice filled with soul melody ; higher, deeper and yet clearer Bwelled the notes until the very air vibrated with the anthem of vocal prayer, "Other refuge have 1 none, Hung my helpless soul on Thee," and the full lips and pure young face grew transcendantly beautiful with its conceptions of the Almighty and His love and tender care of all His creatures. Then, even as voice and clinging limbs were losing all tkeir strength something came falling down from above with the boiling foam and drifted out with the black waters of the pool. Venturing one down ward glance she saw a hat of rough straw floating upon the water, and glancing swiftly upward with terror and joy caught a glimpse of a man slowly climing down the face of the terrible cliff, clinging, slipping, trusting to strong hands, heroically coming to her rescue or to Bhare death with her. But everything swam before her eyes, and as the blackness of night settled down upon her, her head fell forward upon the cold, wet rock to which she was clinzing, ai.d in instant more she would have fainted and fallen. "Hold on !" shouted a voice, "just a moment With a ereat effort she raised her self from the swoon that was death and waited with closed eyes until she felt a hand grasping her own and heard a voice shouting : ''Now let go. Trust entirely to me. I must draw you up to where I have a foothold. Slowlv. and with difficulty. Fan nie extracted her slender, bruised set ISTA-BLISHKO, 1827. SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, white arm from the coil of the vine and felt herself elevated until her feet rested upon a little projection by the side of him who was ventur ing his life for hers. I aYou Bhould not bftve come, sir," faltered Fannie, glancing up into a Fair of dark eyes. "It was better should die alone,lhan that you should also perish, fof we can never "Hush !" whispered the stranger. "Only be calm and dp as I bid you. Here," he continued, stooping a lit tle while still clinging to the face of the rock, "place rour foot in my hand and then react up to yonder sapling, and with ' my assistance, pull yourself up. Everything de pends upon your coolness and brav ery. But for your life do not look downward." With closed lips and set teeth Fannie did as she was bidden, and presently stood in a position where she could find support, and waited with closed tips and misty eves un til the gentleman had placed him self by her side. Again his strong arm helu her until they had rested, and then he said : " 1 hat was bravely , done, but in order to gam salcty we must go through this sliding sheet of water. You must lock your arms about my neck and trust yourself entirely to me. I think we shall be successful, but in any event you must resign your fate into my hands and keep yourself cool and calm, "I will try. But it Is terrible. I mean the thought that I am periling another human life by my insane rashness," returned Fannie, witl tears flooding her blue eyes. 1011 must not thmK at all now. Nerve yourself, for it is crowing late, and life, and all it means, is await ing us on yonder summit." "Yes, but what a death below !' she gasped. "But I shall make a desperate struggle for the former. Are you ready?" As he spoke he wound his left arm about her slender waist, and in stantly Fannie twined hers about his neck as if he were a brother, and a moment later she felt the dash of water in her face and over her form. Fighting inch by inch, in the water, out of it, clinging to the "waving loons of vines, they suddenly passed into a broad belt of sunlight were ushered, as it were, headlong into life. When Fannie recovered from the almost deathly swoon into which she had fallen, the instant she com prehended safety was found, she was lying above the waterfall upon a dry mound, and her deliverer at tempting to restore her by dashing cool water in her face. 5hc at up, sobbed her thanks, and . when they had talked over how she came sus pended over the "Devil's Churn," and how he, coming from a neigh boring field.to a famous spring of ice cohl water iust at the head of the falls, heard her singing, and at first was tempted to believe it spirit music, but attracted by the sweet ness of the voice had leaned over the chasm, discovered and came to her rescue. He continued : "Born and matured in the neigh borhood I know every foot of the ground, and in boyhood often made the descent and assent." When Fanny had fully recovered she learned more of the history of her rescuer that he bore the musi cal name of Clarence Cameron, that he was home from college upon a summer vacation, and that a large white mansion, to be seen from where they were conversing, was his residence, and which shortly after, they entered, even in her wretched condition. That night, after a moonlight ride with her rescuer, she found the Hobbs farmhouse in great commo tion, and when all her adventures had been recounted again and again, Bella and Mareha tormented her with questions about the gallant young knight whom fate had sent to her rescue. "Such elegant people." concluded Fannie, "such a lovely house, such exquisite grounds, such a flowery garden, and just think of it, a genu ine Landseer over the mantel, and a Rosa Bonheur on the wall3 of the parlor, and a grand piano ! and such a supper as they gave me such splendid strawberries and real cream ! And think of my eating them in one of Mrs. Cameron's best dresses, a mile too large for me, while my own was under a drying repairing process. " as there ever such a madcap? exclaimed Bella, It is shocking ! I am certain I shall not sleep a wink all night," groaned mamma. "And, of course, notwithstanding the politeness you received, the young gentleman must think you a downright fool, Fan," interlarded Mareha. Poor little Fannie went to bed very thankful, but humble, and cried herself to sleep, while thinking how very silly Clarence Cameron must have deemed her. On the contrary, that young gen tleman could not sleep for thinking of the little maid he had fished out of the "Devil's Churn." Over and over again he declared to himself that she was the lovliest, most hero ic little thing he had ever met in short, had fallen madly in love with the girl, and when, at last nature as serted itself and he slept in the wee sma' hours he dreamed of the ten der white arms that twined them selves so closely around his neck, of the soft, yielding form he was forced to clasp to his heart in that awful struggle for life. "She is so young," exclaimed Bella, one day. when talking of the matter, "that it I were you, mamma, I would forbid Fannie's tramping all over the country with that Clar- "He is a splendid catch," was an swered, "ana, while I wish it might have been one of my eldtr daugh ters, yet I am very much pleased that Fan has drawn such a prize." "So 1" exclaimed her father, when a few weeks later he came to take them home, "so you went a fishing. Fan, and caught a whale, they tell me ? I shall have to look into the matter," he laughed, as his favorite He SEPTEMBER 7, 1881. ran out of the room, with her face like a garden of roses, and ran right into the arms of a young gen tleman who was coming up the walk in the shadows of the evening. "By the way," continued the old man to Bella and Mareha, "what kind of a vine was it that saved the dear child ?"' 'A grapevine, papa." "Ha ! And it bore sweet fruit for her and only sour grapes for you," and he went out laughing at "their indignant faces. The next morning Mr. Groveii'-r and young Cameron made a pilgri mage to the "Devil's Churn," and when the former comprehended the awful situation in which his child had been and the heroism of the man who had saved her life, he turned suddenly away from the black, sullen pool and, grasping the young man by the hand, and with his eyes filling with tears, said : "Ilevcn bless you, my boy. How can I ever thank you as I ought ?"' ''By giving Fannie to me, sir!" w.is promptly answered. " ou saved her life, and it shall be yours," responded the old man, I and together they returned hoiru j ward. That evening Clarence Cameron had very much to tell Fannie out in the moonlight among the flowers, ana the promise given was sealed by a kiss and to be further strength ened at a later period with the snowy veil and orange blossoms that usher in wifehood. Yisit to lie Ix-. We went from Nice to Pome, where we were very pleasantly re ceived in private by Pope Leo. On the oci ason ol our reception we were iirct usncTOii into an ante chamber where we were introduced to a number of members of the pa- pal household. In this ante-chamber I saw a Chinese bishop and a Chinese priest. The former had been a Frenchman once, but wore the Chinese pigtail and looked Chi nese ail over, lhe priest was a true Oriental, who gazed with awe and veneration at his surroundings. In the next ante-chamber Mgr. Ca- taldi, master of ceremonies, made us known to other memlscrs of the household, and after a progress through several rxms we were ush ered into the presence of the Pope. 1 le was seated on a raise I platform or throne in the centre of the large room or hall rather. Being an actor and having an eye for proper ties, I noted the dress of the holy father carefully. He wore stockings cf white silk, white shoes with golden crosses by way of buckles ; a long white cassock of merino, bound with silk of a jtale rose color; a cape that reached below his elbows, which was also bordered by rose colored silk, and a white silk skull cap, with a rose colored binding ami a jewel in front. A heavy chain from which depended a large cross set with diamonds and rubies, hung around his neck. Upon his hands he wore mittens of silk which readi ed to the first joint of his fingers. He wore a white beltorsash around his waist. When we were ushered in we were told to remove our gloves, and I observed before the presentation took place the Pope took off his left mitten. The pre sentation was made bv Mgr. Cataldi, each of the party kneeling in turn and kissing the episcopal ring which is worn on the 1'ope s lelt hand. When the ceremony had been per-! formed the Pope raised his hands as though to help us to our feet, and then for the first time I looked up into his face. It was one of the best and kinder f:tccs I ever saw. There was something so fatherly, so gentle and so goexl in it that I shall never forget it while I live. in. J. Florence's interview in the A".

My curiosity was amply gratified to-day. By the courtesy of Governor Pitkin, 1 occu pied a place on the balcony of the State house while the splendid militia companies of Denver and Lcadville passed in review under the Executive eye. A number of the State officers assisted the gover nor, and among them was Lieuten-ant-Goyernor Tabor, arrayed in the uniform of Tabor Guards, his strong, bony head surmounted by a little skull cap, apparently two sizes too small. His warmest admirers would not call Mr. Tabor either handsome or graceful. He is appparcntly about fifty-five, his hair is black and coarse as an Indian's and his large mouth is covered rather than orna mented by a heavy moustache which is slightly tinged with gray. His arms and legs seem made of wood and his joints of iron, and it is very evident that he does not feel at all at home in a military uni form. In conversation with this luckiest ol men one soon forgets his peculiar ities of manners and apieararice. There is so much straightforward ness and strong common-sense in ; wjiat jic savs that no one who knows him wonders that he has be- r,.at art of 0 niakin e - - His history is one of the roman- ces ofmining. Twenty-two years ago, when the "Pike's Peak or bust ' le ver was at its height, Tabor and his wife left their hungry home in Maine to seek a fortune in the wild West. They didn't find it. For eighteen weary years they went up and down tlie loot-hills and mountains of Colorado, pursuing the phantom gold and growing old and discour aged in their tiresome ami bootless search. lie was sober and thriity, but somehow they did iiot get on in the world. Now, when they have more mill ions than the' had hundreds then, Mrs. Tabor delights in telling how "me and Tabor" moved in an ox team across the Park from Denver to Oro City, where they started a little stor for the sale of miners' supplies. Oro City was a small camp a' .out two miles from where Leadviiie now flourishes, and where the firot discoveries of quartz were made in Lcadville. Tabor "grub staked" two prospectors, August Rciche and ( leorge Fryer, to search for ore. on the condition that he should have half of all they should discover. The first ore they found ran only eight ounces to the ton, but as they went down on "Little Pittsburgh" the quality steadily improved. About this time Leadviiie had out grown Oro City, and Tabor moved his store to Denver end bought a a bill of goods amounting to SJ,r)0, and not having money enough to settle, he offered his share in the Denver firm, but they preferred to take their chances on getting their money back when he had disposed of wares. Later he bought 8;J.7UO worth of goods from another firm, and actually succeeded in inducing thtm to take his half of Little Pitts burgh in payment. When he reached home, however, he received a letter from the firm asking him to take back his mine, as they had no desire to go into that kind of business, assuring him that they would trust him for the bill. Well they might, for within three months he had bought out both his partners for 61"0,O!jj, paying them out of the proceeds of the mine,and had in turn sold out to Chaffee, Moffatt & Co. for 81.XXVYX. In all he made about SlJOOjOW) on the mine which wa3 then stocked at $20,(XX).0(JO, yielded some S",()00, (XX) to its new purchasers, and is now an empty ruin, so far as' ap pearances go. Tabors wealth is variously esti mated between 64.000,000 and 810, OOO.OU), but it is doubtful if even he could state its exact figure. Not withstanding his sudden leap from poverty to millions, he is as plain and approachable as ever His only son and heir is one of the lessees of the Windsor hotel, and is said to be a shrewd, level-headed young man. Mrs. Tabor delights in fine clothes, diamonds and New Eegland gram mar, and is now enjoying a tour of Europe. Suit the Cows. Cows should receive all the salt they want. A very good plan is to make an artificial salt-lick by plac ing ground or coarse salt in troughs accessible to the cows when they want to get it ; or by placing larger pieces of ordinary rock salt where the cows may lick at them when thev feel inclined. Most people salt their cows about once a week, and then give them a pretty good dose. This is, of course, better than not. to give any, but its incongruity and unfitness will better be appreciated perhaps by the dairyman himself if he will try taking his salt the same way ; say, on Sunday or Saturday morning he should eat a teaspoonful of salt, and let that do for the week. A cow isn't a human being; but physiology and common sense are pretty much the same, whether they are applied to man or other animals in the matter of alimentation and the ordinary functions of digestion and so on. If cows are fed in the stable every day they should each have a good teaspoonful of salt every morning in the trough, or a piece of rock salt may lie in the trough to be licked when she wants it If cow3 are not stabled every day a box or two of salt should be placed in the field or at the milking place, so a3 to be accessible any time when the cows feel like having a lick. IC LL. O WHOLE NO. 1574. 'arc AlMnt Tliina-. ; We h ive on many occasions in going over the outbuildings upon ; some farms, noticed a great deal of carelessness in guarding against man-traps, which might prove very dangerous to life and limb, if a knowledge of the existance and re membrance of them were not at all times borne in mind, or of contriv ances where cattle may be hurt. Passing through a friend's farm building sonic time ago, wo came on a cistern for catching water from the roof, the lid of which opened in a frequently-traveled path. On our expressing surprise, our friend won dered at the alarm, "For," said he, "all about u.s are trained, to such careful habits there is really nodan ger. No one would ever think of leaving the trap door open." This reason seems correct, and yet the newspapers are filled with accidents which occur in places where "ull hands'" are supposed to exert the greatest care. Some one come3 in with a loaded gun and does not draw the charge. He knows how careful every one is in handing fire arms, and ye numbers of people d ie every year simply through forget fulness on the part of some playful fool that the article may possibly be loaded. A man carries the dangerous matches, that ig nite with scratching against anything loose in his pocket, and goes through his stables aud over his haymows and straw stacks. He is quite sure that his careful habit3 will never let him drop one so that something may tread or fall on it, or a mouse muhie it and a fire ensue. But some day the whole thing "goes up," and there is no end of wonder how such a thing could be ! It is indeed singular that acci dents and loss are usually the luck of those who are the most careful. We knew a man once who carried money loose m his vest pocket, as many do their matches. No one could be more particular than he in watching everything, that nunc fell on the ground or blew away. He regarded loss as impossible, and he continued to think so until next day when about to give up his room at a hotel, after visiting a county fair, his wife found a ten-dollar bill lying on the floor! Carefulness is very well. Study it by all means. 1'i.t in all our arrangein- "ts securi ty should rest rather on .impossibil ity than on watchfulness. The man who lies asleep with one eye open to guard against foes doc well : but the one who takes his re win nj he knows no enemy can com .-. has the ' best chance of rest. We make a note of these things now because the season will soon be here when fires will be necessrry and with it the season when things take fire from "defective Hues" and j other accidents. These things nev-! cr occur where people are really careful, but the best rule is to so or- j der things that no matter how care- j less people may be, accidents are j next to impossible. fjrrm irto.rn j Th- "Wheat Chip. The wheat crop of this year is now harvested and being threshed out read fur market, or to be plac ed in the granary of the farmer, and tlie next ouestion with the growers Is as t the time of sale best suited to their interests, inis, oi course, is a question which can alone oe determined by the farmers themselves, and their pecuniary condition will very greatly tend to aid in the decision. It is pleasant to know, however, that the land holders, of the country are partak ir.g in some considerable degree in the prc?reritv now enjoyed by other classes, and have it in their power to handle more of the ready cash than they have been accustom ed to for many years. They have certain market lor -everything they have to sell, and, unlike most other professions, their returns are cash down on delivery, and we see no good reason whv thev should not be able to realize more than ex penses, unless they are still in debt, as. has been the case with many in years gone by. As was anticipated by us some weeks ago, we believe that this vear the quantity raised will be equal to that of last year. In many cases the vield has not been as great per acre, but the addi tional area? of land sown will fully make up for any shortage in the yield. the delivery oi gram at the sever al seaports where it is exported is considerably short of the preceding year at the" date to which there turns are mad up; but the cause of this is largely on account of the sea son for harvesting being some ten davs to two weeks latex than that of last year, when the wheat was cut earlier than usual, whilst this year it was not ready for the reajer un til a later day than what is usually the ca-e. We have always deemed it the best policy to sell wheat when it can be done handily. As a general rule, the chances are that as good prices are attainable as when it is stored, and the loss occasioned by shrinkage, by vermin, petty thieve ry, etc., will be likely to equal any increase in price which can ordina rily be obtained by holding over lor j better terms. We can see no rea- j son why prices are likely to be j higher than at this writing. Tis true speculators will be setting afloat all kinds of reports to affect prices, i as usual, and "corners" may be got-: ten up by those who have the com- mand of "large capital ; but against J these there is no protection, and the j wheat-grower will have to run his j chances the same as other classes j in these speculative times.

In jtherirot place, never gathereoritone day for the next (!ayV drying, as j this pjkhIs the flavor of tlie corn, even if it doc3 not turn sour, which I is very apt to Im the taw unless great care is taken to keep it in a cool place. I am quite sure : that a great deal of the dried corn Mound upon the market is not reai j ly fit to eat, implb because it had soured tafore it wxs dried. In fact, j corn that is to ls used as ruasting- eara should be used the same day on which it is gathered, in order to retain its natural flavor. Select ears that arc not too ripe ; this can be easily told by pressing i your thumb nail into a kernel, and I if the milk spirts out kind of watery, ! it is not quite ripe enough, but if it j is more like a good thick cream, it is j right for using. Strip off the husks ! and drop into hot or scalding water. j and let it boil one minute, or just long enough to set the milk, then as soon as possible take it out and let it drain dry, so that there will fe no water left m the corn ; then tike a sharp knifi and sliee just the ends of the grains, and the next time you bring your knife down deeper, but not so deep a3 to cut off any of the cob. If you are drying for home use, you had better take the back of the knife and scrape the cob. In this way you will get some of the best part of the corn. Thi.s should be dried by itself, as it will tike longer to dry than tlie other, and is really worth twice as much for the table ; and again, if you have only the stove to do your dry ing with, I will tell you the way to do; make the stove middling hot, nut your corn into large bread pans, put it into the oven, and as soon as it begins to get hot commence to stir the com, and the steam will leave so Cist that a jerson can dry two or three batches every day. The more it is stirred the faster "it will dry. It is surprising how mncl can be dried in this way in one season. As soon as corn is dry it should be hung up in paper sacks in the kitchen or some other place where it will harden, and should be shak en up every few days until it be comes real dry and hard, then put it away in some dry room, or sell it at once if you can get ten cents a poumL We always get that for all we dry without any trouble. In fact, I have never yet had enough fcr the demand, r.nd I find it more profitable to dry and sell at 10 cents per pound than to sell my corn at eight cents per dozen that is, if yout corn is of the large varie ty. John Turner, Jameztoim, Ta. riftiisite for Potato). Tlie best potato fertilizer on dry soil is water ! This is to say that the potato is more dependent upon moisture than the most of the crops. On rny own farm I am unable to calculate upon a sure crop of mer chantable potatoes. I may apply sufficient manure or fertilizer, anil yet if the season be unpropitious, the potatoes are small despite the ma nuring. This has led me to give a little study to this crop, and I find : 1, That any cause which check3 the growth of the plant after the tu bers are somewhat formed tends to check the growth of the formed tu bers and to etimulate the formation of other tubers. Thus a severe hoe ing in mid season will check tlie growth of the tubers and form new tubers to such an extent that on rich land the crop will be numerous, but also small and unmerchantable. A drought at this time will aflVct the plant likewise. 2, The manure put on the potato land, or fertilizer, does not necessa rily prove large potatoes ; it only influences aggregate growth; the production of the best merchantable crop seems dependent upon a con tinuous growth from the time the tubers are formed until they attain ripeness. The potato requires a steady uniform season, without too much or too little water. It re quires fertility in the land, but the physical condition of the soil and atmospheric relations must be such that growth be materially uncheck ed. As the pinching in of a shrub rendera it n.ore brapchy and leafy, and causes it to contain more nu merous buds than the larger un pinched ' shrub of equal vigor, so the interference of growth of the po tato plant, by means of the hoe or drought, effects the production of the underground buds or tubers. 3, Fertilizers, especially that con tuning potash, seems to improve the quality of the tuber, over that produced from manure. Piaster is often beneficial, applied in the hi!, in modifying the mosiure relations of the soil. The best potito lands of Maine are freshly burned soil. Under the lest conditions the burn ed over soil is rich in ashes and charred wood, and this layer is a more efficient mulch to the plant, so that we can believe that the qual ity of the potato is caused by the excess of potash and other ash ele ments, and the size is influenced by the uniform condition of the soil un der this efficient mulch, daring th season of growth.
