STORING POTATOES FOR W INT JR. It it ofter a matter ol very great pecuniary importance for a farmer to bo able to kee| hie potato crop until spring. Many road very handsome sums by pursuing thiscour* the past season. Potatoes mere bought las' fill for fifty cent* a bushel, and those U good order were sold very generally in eprine for two dollars. As long as the custom o early marketing prevails so generally, the man who cultivate* the new eeedbngs and ■tores them until spring, will be likely t pursue a ssfe course. Prices are generally enough higher to pay for the extra handli p and leave a margin lor profit. They can h stored upon tbp surface of the ground in s dry position in the earn*.- manner as turm but this rt-qimvs much care in covering ih pits on account of extreme weather that pre vails in the beet potato districts. It is uncommon for the earth to freese two deep, and the raising ola mound with w of that thickness over potatoes is a grea bor. It has its advantages however in • ing carl it g, and once handling. The h or put are usually made upon the fi where the potatoes grow, and so near tog er that when the potatoes are picked up t ■ are taken directly to the heap*, which c ■ tain from 30 to 100 bushels each, as suits ' • convenience of the farmer. A light coverin of straw is put upon the potatoes, tnak'i-.- roof that will shed water and keep out • . frost. When the farmer wishes to keep hi potatoes for the spring market, this is a method. Another way is to store the r p<- tatties in pits, partly below the surface, t this can only be done where the soil is per fectly drained. There is not much difife"' in the labor involved, or in the security of t > crop against frost Farmers living near p•• who wish to ship their potatoes in won. budd cheap vaults or cellars in hill sides,it-- will hold from 500 to 1500 bushels. 'I Vault has a window and shoot arrange > 1 tipping in a cart-load at a time, and a d-o is upon the sou'h er.d for taking the potato* out. In New jersey and on Long Iland it quite common to atore potatoes in the boost or baiu cellar, to be ready for market at an* time when the prica auita. Immense quan tines are stored by dealers in the city o New York, mostly in barrels, but soraetnn*-- in bulk. In cellar storage straw should b. thrown over tbeni to keep out the light.— This crop beeps best, away from the air, n darkness, and at a low temperature temper ature, a few degrees above freezing. Tha method ia best which secure these condition most perfectly, wilb the least labor aud u> least cxpenae. LOSS IN STACHEXO HAT. A farmer of sound juojjinent, sod latge ex perience in cutting and storing hay, estimati - bis own loss ia stacking at trenty-fivo pc cent. He cut.-, probvbly a hundred to i* year, end stacks a fifth part of it for wtnt • barn room. He has very properly - mad- u his mind to build a new barn. We think hi estimate tt not wide of the mirk. There is • large loss from moulding ?t the bottom of th. the stack, and old rails, boards or atraw, wi not wholly prevent it. Then the whole ex ternal surfrse for 3to 6 inch-?, is waathv beaten, and lose* much of its aneetnesr, an it is not improbable that this le;3 of aroui extends through the whole stack. The con viction is universal among the intelligent men that barn stored bay is north moth more than that which is taken from tin stack. Why then follow this wasteful prac tice ? Look at the grent loss to this farm-1 who cuts t>ne hundred tons of b:y w r f £5,000. According to his own estimrte ti psy s 6100 a year for the privilejo of stc-- inijnne fifth of his crop. Thii is but a emul part of the loaa where the by is ted out ei the stack. It cost at least e. third more h* to keep cattle without shelter. These ar It rung arguments for more fc—rn room. To CLEAN BRASS.— Rob the -urface with rotten stone and tweet oil, then rub if witb a piece of cotton flannel and polish will soft leather. A eolation of oxalic end rub bed over tarnished brass, soon recsuui ti. tarnish, rendering the metal btight. T i acid mutt be washed oft with tvater end he brass rubbed with whitening and soft leath> r. When acids are emplojed for removing tl e oxide front bra**, the metal mu*t be thor oughly washed afterward*, or it will tarnish io a lew minute* after being exposed to tin air. A mixture of muriatic acid and alum dissolved in water imparls a golden color t braes articles that are steeped to it for a fan miates. CLEANING TIN WARE. — Acidsebould never be emplojed to clean tin-ware, because tbe\ attack the metal and remove it from the iron of which it forms a thin coat. We ref r it articles made of tin plate which consists of iron covered with tin. Rub the articles first Wuh rotten-stone and awect oil, the rame as r-commended for brass, then finish with Wiitening and a piece of soft leather. Arti cles made wholly oftio should be cleans i in the same manner. In a dry atmosphere, planished tin-ware will remain bright f> Train. Train. STATIONS. Train Train. A M.
