To those who are unfamiliar with po- tato growing. the high priees which «arly potatoes command might seem to make it an object to dig a large part of the crop and market it while the price §s up. But there are several drawbacks in marketing potatees ‘early. The weather is hot. and svhile the skins of potatoes are teuder, they will rub oft their jackets if handled freely, and the potatoes are then almeet sure to rot. Hence they are never sent far or in large quantities. In digging potatoes early there is great waste, as only a few of the largest are of marketable size, and those that will sell would grow still larger if left a few days longer in the hill.

If the potatoes have been well cultivated additicnal preparation of the land will be necessary for the wheat after the potatoes are dug, with the possible exception of going over the ground once with a smoothing harrow. Doubtless the best preparation of the soil for a wheat crop is to turn under a clover field, grow potatoes on it, and follow in the fall with wheat. The cultivation of the potatoes will put the soil in good condition fer wheat, which will receive the benefit sole moment the seed wheat is put in the ground. Washing Milk Vessels. All through the warm weather, par- ticular care is needed to cleanse ves- sels that have contained milk. If any particle of milk is left in the crevices or corners of vessels, it will sour and affect any milk that is afterwards added. from vessels wash scalding hot water. them first with This is a mistake. The hot water only coagulates the al- | bumen, causing it to stick more close- ly to thie sides of the vessel. If it be of tin the scouring of the milk soon eats through the coating of tin, and causes rust on the iron beneath it. What we call tin is merely iron with a very thin tin coating. No such vessel is fit for long use, as the tin will wear through, and all the m. re quickly if the coagulated albumen, made by hot water and milk, requires hard rubbing to remove it. The right way to clean milk vessels is to rinse them well with cold water, and then scald them, destroy any germs that the cold water may have left. to Managing a Swarm of Bees, Swarming in a moderate degree will not affect the work of honey making, but usually one swarm {from a hive should be all that is necessary for each season.

A cover should be provided for fastening over the top when necessary and a few holes made in the box for ventilatio, When the bees swarm keep quiet until they alight in a convenient place; then hold the swarining box under the cluster, shake off some of the bees into the box and most of the remaining ones will fol- low. Take the boxof beesto the hive, which has been previously prepared for them, shake out a faw at the en- trance, and the rest will follow them into the hive. Small portions of the swarm may have clustered away from the main body, and all these should be gathered so as to make sure of the queen bee, which must be in the hive or the bees will not —-Atlanta Journal. stay. Late Cultivation of Potatoes. It used to be the rule with potato growers never to cultivate after pota- toes are in blossom. It is then that the earliest tubers begin to form the growth of the first set of potatoes. Hence the old way of growing pota- toes was to give a more thorough cul- tivation than ever the last time just before the potatoes blossomed. 1n doing this the soil was drawn from the middle of the rows towards the pota- toes. This was called hilling up the potatoes, and was almost always sup- plemented by drawing the loose soil still closer to the hill with a hoe. No matter how easily this was done, the potato roots thus mutilated never fully accommodated themselves to their new conditions. The roots in- side the conical hills wonld not admit much water, the potato vines died down before the potatoes became very large. Worst of all, as the hills were washed down by rains many of the potatoes were exposed to the sunlight and were turned green. This entirely destroys ° their value for cooking: Green potatoes are not only bitter, but are even poisonous.

WIE] PETES AERA One Offered Ready-Made for the Decs- perate Literator, A novelist in Boston—do not laugh, there are novelists in Boston, yes, and actually living here—said to us the other day, “If I could only find a plot!” Here is a plot for him free of charge, and the story is a true one: In 1739 a lady—a real lady —came Into Birmingham, Ingland, with a handsome cquipage, and desired the landlord of the inn to get her a hus- band, being determined to marry some- body or other before she left the town. ‘he man bowed, and supposed her la- dyship to be in a facetious humor, but being made sensible how much she was in earnest, he went out in search of a man that would marry a fine lady without asking questions. After many repulses from poor fellows who were not desperate enough for such a ven- ture, he met with an excise man, who said he “could not be in a worse condi- tion than he was,” and accordingly went with the innkeeper and made a tender of himself, which was all he had to bestow on the lady, who imme- diately went with him to one who gave them a license and made them man and wife, on which the bride gave her spouse £200, and without more delay left the town and the bridegroom to find out who she was or unriddle this strange adventure. Soon after she was gone two gentlemen came into the town in full pursuit of her; they had traced her so far upon the road, and, finding the inn where she had put up, they examined into all the particulars of her conduct, and on hearing she was married gave up their pursuit and turn- ed back. Truly a noble dame, one worthy of a full length portrait in the gallery con- structed by Thomas Hardy. Why did this noble dame offer her- self to the first comer? And why. were the respectable males of the town so backward? There was no hint of scan- @lal. Who were the pursuers? Did she svish by one sudden marriage to escape one deliberately contrived and repug- nant? Was the excise man a petty fellow in spite of his abject condition? Did she ever see him again? Did she fever regret that she had not braved the world and lived with him? Per: haps the memory of her apparition haunted him: perhaps it roused him to doughty deeds. It's a pity that Mr. Hardy has not accounted for her action and her fate with his grim irony.—Bos- ton Journal.

Where fingers Are Clumsy. The countries where the long’ finger nail is most affected are Siam, Assam, Cochin China and China. The ap- proved length varies from three or four to twenty-three inches. A Slamese ex- quisite permits the nails on his fingers to grow to such an extent that his hands are practically useless. The ar- istocrats who affect these nalls can- not write, dress themselves or even feed themselves. The Siamese hold the long finger nail fn the same reverence we hold the family tree. Many of them never have their nails cut from the day of their birth. On the first finger the nail is of moderate length—three or four inches —while on the other fingers the nails grow occasionally to two feet. The thumb nail, which is also allowed to grow long, after reaching a certain length curves around like a corkscrew. In both China and Siam the owners of long nails wear metal cases over them to preserve them, made of gold or silver, and jeweled. While long nails are not regarded as singular in China, they are rarely met with except on fanatics and pedantic scholars. Among the fakirs in Hindoostan a peculiar custom is that of holding the hand tightly clenched and in one posi- tion so long that at last the nails grow through the palm, emerging at the back of the hand and growing thence almost to the wrist. When the wasted muscles refuse to support the arm any longer it is bound in position with cords. In Nubia the long nall is regarded as Indicative of good breeding. ‘I'he aris- tocrats constantly subject their finger- tips to cedar wood fire to insure a good growth. The inhabitants of the Marquesas lands are among the most expert tat- tooers on earth, and not even the crown of the head, the fingers and the toes ire exempt from the needle. The bands are ornamented with utmost rare, all the fingers having their own pattern, so the hand would look as ihough Incased in a tight-fitting glove were it not for the finger nails of enor- mous length which complete the hand tdornment of the wealthier natives. - Washing Milk Veasels, All through the warm weather, par- Ricular care is needed to cleanse ves- sels that have contained milk.
