GROWING POTATOES. If you will allow me to reverse the usual ordeal and summarize at the be- ginning, I will say that the whole subs ject of successful potato culture may be reduced to the following 'seeming- ly simple conditions, viz: a deep, ler- tile, well drained, deeply worked andt finely pulverized soil; strong, selected and well-preserved seed of such type as the market demands, and of varie- ties which are aot past t.beir prime of life and vigor ; seasonable attention to the beetle ; clean, fine and frequent cultivation and the adoption of such( methods as will reduce the cost of growing and bundling the crop to a minimum, writes E. L. Scott. Applicable as the most of these conditions may be to other crops, I wish to impress you with their special importance to the potato, for no other farm crop var- ies so much in yield, or apparently from eb slight a cause. Indeed, there is but a ha'ir's breadth between suc- cess and failure in the growing of po- tatoes. If you have not sand, you should make your soil as sand -like as possible. To do this, it is essential that the heaviex soils should be under -drain- ed, worked only when dry and fri- able, and kept othetrwiee loose by filling them with humus of which there is nothing better than decaying clover. If a tough sod or stubble field must be planted, it is well to plow shallow with a dressing the season .previous, then pulverize, and plow again, deeply, just before planting. If a young clover sod, which is preferable, I would leave it un- til planting time, that a fresh spring growth of clover might be attained to nourish, not only the potato, but sun- ceeding crops, also. If we would have our stock pure and uniform so that we may command the highest price, we must assort our seed annually, throwing out all, so called, sports. i.e., potatoes which certain con- ditions (sometimes manifestly of soil) have caused to vary in type and appear- ance from the seed planted; partaking, perhaps, of the characteristics of some ancient ancestry. While potatoes can- not possibly mix with other varieties in the hill, these sports will, if planted, be- come fixed, and your stork will soon have the appearance of being mixed. Especially is this the case with new va- rieties. The 'utmost care should bo ex- ercised in keeping our seed potatoes from sprouting until planted, that the plant may be. produced from the first sprout (which is always the most vigor- ous) and nourished by Lhe full strength th of unexhausted seed until it isable to draw its sustenance from the soil. It is therefore important that our cellars be dry and kept at as low a temperature as possible without freezing, and the po- tatoes bandied over during the winter and spring, which will assist materially in retarding the sprouting period.

THE EXETER 'TIMES never be thoroughly cured. Sometimes a heifer wintry to kick the milker away when she is not well broken to milk. Hes bag and teats is then tender and it understandshe its not difficult to un why should do her best to escape the ordeal of milking. Some men, says a writer in an eastern exchange, have so little sym- pathy with a heifer at this period that they hurt the udder unnecessarily, and pretty soon the habit of kicking may have been formed. With care, however, the tendency to kick maybeovercome and will never reappear. But there are some owes which seem to be born kick- ers,. Some eight years ago I bought a very goodelooking cow, six years old. The owner told me she was gentle and free from bad tricks. I found that she was indeed very gentle at times. She would come up in the lot to be fondled, and was a great favorite with the chil- dren. Butt the same spring I bought her, and before she had come in, she would stand in the stable and kick with both hind feet at the caws each side of her, using first one foot and then an- other. 1 thought it might be because she was in estrange place and that she would be all right when she became used to her quarters'. But this was .aot true, For some days she wouldbe perf ctl y quiet, then without warning her legs would fly. She was a strong cow, and things moved when she kicked. I tried the pian of tying a rope about her body just in front of the bag, and as long as the rope was kept on she was quiet. As soon as the rope was left off, trouble was likely to begin at any time. I never was sure that I would get way with my pail of milk. After a thorough trial, running Ehrough a number of years, I became conv aced that shewas incurable and dispQSd of her to the butcher. This cow raised several heifer calves while I had her, and every one of them was light-footed. Right down through the whole race that fault extended. I have gradually weeded (',hem out until I have only one two-year-old heifer left. She is half Jersey, and gives promise of be- ing an extra cow; but if she 'develops the habit of kicking she will go ; for of all demoralizing things in a dairy a kicking cow takes the lead, Life is too short to spend breaking kicking cows. There are just as good CONS which do not kick, and why not have them? ITEMS OF INTEREST.

The person using it can But it is amatter upon which we must use judgment, and even then we cannot always be right, for we cannot foretell the seasons. 11the soil is dry and warn, and we can be reasonably sure of its remaining so until the potatoes are well up, I would say, plant not less than five inches deep. But if cold or wet there would be danger of losing the seed. Where we are anxious for quick growth, as an early crop, we must plant shallow and hill for a covering. I almost shrink from this very im- portant part of the subject, for cn no other farm crop are there so many and so varied practices employed. I would, however, advise doing everything by horsepower that can be practically ao- oomplished thereby. Except in the gar- den or perhaps in a patch of extra ear - lies, the time-honored hoe is a relic of the past. The large grower will find the most improved planters, sprayers, and diggers profitable; but he who rais- es only a few acres can get on very cicely with more primitive tools. The main thing in planting, or before plant- ing, is to have a deep, mellow, well pre- pared seed bed. The disc is a good tool wibh which to follow the plow. Set deeply, and lap half" to preventridg- ing, and finish with the smoothing har- row. Do not leave cut seed exposed to the sun long before covering. I pre- fer drills to check rows. If you harve no planter, a good way is to furrow with, a shovel plow and cover with a sulky cultivator. In either case it is well 'Lo adjust covers so as to leave a slight ridge, so that when harrowed crosswise the harrow will take a bet- ter hold and leave the row entirelyt free from weeds. The best time to har- row is just before the potato sprouts get long enough to be injured by the harrow teeth, and again when plants are well up and. brace roots are form- ed. If you must harrow when potatoes are coming up, do it in the middle of the day, when the yoiung shoots are not as brittle as they 'are in the cool of tthe reornfmg. If the harrowing is done judiciously, and you have a good stand of potatoes, the shade will soon serve to keep later weeds down in the row, and the rest may be done with the cultivator. Cultivate shallow and fine, and if your soil is inclined tot be heavy or wet, or if your potatoes, have not been planted at a sufficient depth, tlbrrow a little diet toward the row the last time or two through. Bushel crates may be made by almost anyone upon rainy days; they will last for years, and will be found very con- venient for handling the crop after dig- ging. While there are various styles of crates in use those are most convenient whine are made a little wider than deep, so that one may be placed endwise with- in another, and a third inverted covered over the top, making a neat nest of these crates, which will be found quite helpful in storing, and also in carry- ing and disbributeng, as they can eas- ily be picked up and carried in either hand.

My ,experience with the cow born with an instinct for kicking is that she can 1Wrildpigeons in immense numbers re- cently took possession of a grove in Shasta County, Cal. When on the wing the flock formed a line a mile in length and over a hundred and fifty yards wide. While a man in Ottawa, Kan., was trying to tate witha rope and hook a tin can that had dropped into a well„ his gold watch dropped out of his pock- et. At last be contrived to draw up the can, and in it was the watch. A vaudeville actress in Cincinnati ra- ther proudly informed a friend that she had heard that a good-looking man was endeavoring to get an interview with hter. She soon discovered that he was really "after" her, to serve her with legal papers. A fortunate speculation enabled a telegraph operator in Cleveland to come out fifty dollars ahead. To keep his wealth a secret from his wife, he con- cealed it in his watch -case. Two days afterward he was waylaid on the street by footpads, who ran off with the watch, with a fifty -dollar bill neatly folded therein. The first book printed in the States was the "Bay Psalm Book," which was issued by Stephen Daye, in 1640, at Cambridge, Mass. Only ten copies are known to be in existence, and but four of them are perfect. The four perfect copies are valued at about five thous- and dollars each, and one of them is owned by Cornelius Vanderbilt. Numerous pedestrians, while passing a. dark corner in Kansas City were startled by the loud alarm of a bicycle bell and instinctively leaped away. Some mischievous boys had attached the bell to a house on the street corner, and were in the habit of ringing it, by means of a string, at the proper mom - meat to make the pedestrians jump. About the House• mon sticks there is always an unsightly spot or streak left on the linen. One way of making a good starch is to mix the quantity of starch needed with cold water until itis the consistency of think cream, then pour briskly -boiling water over it until it becomes a thiok, trans- parent liquid; add a small piece tof wuntil wax, and stir ntil it is dissolv- ed. For white shirts the following for- mula bas been recommended as excel- lent: To three quarts oil soft water add a quarter pound of best elastic starch, two teaspoonfuls of powdered borax and two tablespoonfu'is of turpentine. This should be kept in a covered jar where no dust can get at it. When wanted for use it should. he stirred well from the, bottom. Dip the article into it, wring and wrap in a towel for a few minutes, when it may be ironed. This branch of laundry work is not always given the attention it should receive, or else many are woefully ig- norant of it, and their linens are al- lowed to be specked and spotted until worn out. Needless to say' the neat and careful housekeeper makes an effort to keep the linen white and spotless, and deals with the stains as soon as possi- ble after the accident. If tea, coffee, wine or anything of the kind are spilled over the tablecloth it should not be rolled up and put into the laundry bag or coffee are spilled during a meal the where it may contract mildew. If tea stains may easily be removed with bot water. Put the stained portion over a howl and pour boiling. water through into the basin. This may have to be done more than once. and by beingcare- fu.l, very little damp wilt spread l.eyond the stained spot. A touch with a hot flatiron and all is well again. When one Ls unfortunate enough to spill wine on a white cloth, some salt should be rubbed in immediately. After the din- ner the stains may be taken out with boiling water or hot milk. Fruit stains may removed in the same manner. Oxalic acid, diluted, or powdered lime also removes obstinate spots. Few things provoke the housewife so much as ink stains, on either clothing or table linen. The inky spot may Fe soaked in warm buttermilk, or butter should be rubbed in and washed in hot milk. If buttermilk is used it should be renewed every time it turns inkyand until it remains white. When althe ink is gene pour hob water through the cloth. Rust spots may be removed with salts of lemon, and mildew by pouring di- luted chloride of lime over the spots. DOMESTIC RECIPES. THE WASHING. The housewifewho has to do all the work with her own hands' has a certain dread of wash day, ands well she might, for laundry work is most laborious. It pays well,. so far as the saving of strength is concerned, to simplify the work and get it done as quickly aspos- sible, Hove the cooking on wash day most simple. A"boiled dinner"' 'soften associated with wash day fn many homes, and as it takes the least atten- tion it saves work for the weary house- wife. As mulch of the work should be arranged the evening before as is prac- ticable. The tubs and bench may be put in place and all the necessary utensils for the washing may be brought togeth- er, thus saving steps and time when they count for much. Many housewives. where the washing is large, rise an hour earlier on wash day. and so do consid- erable before breakfast. One always bas more ambition to attack anything so formidable as a great tubful of soiled of r than early clothes at a brightand lou if commenced after breakfast. The washing may be expedited by the use of a fluid made after the following recipe: To one pouind of sal -soda add one-half poutnd of stone lime and five quarts of water. Boil for a short time; and then allow to settle. Pour off the clean liquid into a stone jar and keep it covered carefutlly. Use one tea-: cupful to a boiler half full of boiling water ; stir and put the clothes in it, allowing them to boil fon half an hour. The clothes should have been soaked over night, and all places badly soiled should be rubbed with soap first. All stains should be removed before the clothes are put into tbm water, unless they are such whish soap and water will take out. Of course. flannels and col- ored clothes cannot be treated in this manner. The table and bed linen are washed first, and then the other white clothes, followed by the towels, wash- cloths, etc. Tf the clothes are given this treatment they require very little( rub- bing, which is about the hardest part of the washing. After the rubbing they may be thrown into a tubful of clear cold water, and when fat they may Pe wrung out in the bluing water. The clothes that are to be sterche:l should be laid aside and starched before they are hung out. This will save time. and extra work. Flannels should be shak- en thoroughly and washed in warm soapsuds to which a little ammonia has been added. Warm clear water should v should i i and they be used for the r ns ng, y be dried as quickly as possible. Some housekeere-s prefer ironing their flan- nels while damp, butt it is really un- necessary work to iron flannel under- garments at all. The colored clothes should also be washed in strong soap- suicls, rinsed in clear water to which a little salt has been added, and dried ouiskly. in the shade, if nossible. Stock- ings, if turned wrong side out, will not farce so tally, and the durst should be thriroughly shiken out of them first. If washed by themselves they will look min^h letter than if put in with the other clothes. Sager of lead bus been re einmended for rt y'ng the solos.' n garments whih are likely to facie when washed. A tea- spoonful :tlde 1 to a pailful of water is snffieient. Allow the garments to soak in it for en borer before washing them, and never hang deli'ate'ycolored dress- es in the sun. Very thin garments and embroideries should be ironed on the wrong side, and if a glossy surface is desired on ca.lieoes tend ginghams they should be ironed on the right side. If shirt bosoms, collars and cuffs are dip - pad in boiled starch before being hung out and then thoroughly rubbed in cold starch when dry they will be very stiff. If roller( in aeloth for an hour or two before ironing, after heing cold! starch- ed, they will iron easily. Very hot irons are necessary for them If the clothes are dampened in the evening they will be in nice shape to iron the following morning, and one can start in early without delay. Poorly made st'irch is often the source of much trouble when ironing. If the PARASOLS. It is definitely settled that the style of parasols known as the "Marquise;" that were popular in 1840 and during the Second Empire, are to be largely carried this spring. They are very light and extremely pretty. They are made in all colors, in all materials, plain or figured, trimmed with very deep fringe or lace, have folding handles which are at times ornamented with gold and silver, and form handsomer wedding presents. The folding handles are extremely convenient, and the pain - sole, though small, are not only quite large enough to shelter the face and protect the del,icatev shade of ribbon or feathers adorning the bonnet or hat from the two ardent rays of the sun, but take up enuo'h less room than sun- shades, it being frequently impossible for two ladies sitting side by side to bald up two of the latter without in- conveniencing one another. A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION. The blooms of the summertide and the fruits of autumn are nature's inev- itable response to the quickening in- fluoinces of the genial and persistent sunshine. So a cheerful sunniness of disposition in any Spirit tends to ev- oke the better qualities of character from the perhaps unpromising soil of a friend's hard nature. 1)� 0 ir r } t i c it s d i. dt,.•c.

If you haven't a bain marie, which is French for what we call a double - boiler, you can easily arranges a substi- tute. A covered tin pail suspended in a kettle of boiling water by passing a stick through the handle answers most of the purposes of a double boiler. When there seems to be something wrong with the coffee, and you cannot locate the cause, examine the coffee pot. If it is black inside and has a somewhat unpleasant odor, fill it up with borax water and let it boil ten or fifteen fitt a minutes. This will sweeten and purify it. iStove cloths of heavy denim, ticking or coarse crash, about .eighteen inches square and made double, are much safer and much more convenient for use round the stove than the small Have sor . holde s a half dozen or wash them every week as regularly ly as youi do your towels. It is said that roaches may be got rid of by feeding them on a powder made of borax and chocolate; well mix- ed. They are fond of the chocolate. and in eating it take enough of the borax to 'kill them—rather curiously, for borax is not poisonous.

He s,peaks of a certain Koageitu, an old and ugly woman, who was an an- gel of charity to many of the prisoners, but especiallyto the Major. She shared their sadness, she gathered and pre- pared the primitive medicines of herbs used there, and when she saw them depressed used to cry " Agari 1 Agaril" (Italy 1 Italy 1) adding that Menelbk was good and would free them. When she understood that in Italy there were mothers, wives, and sisters weeping for them she began to cry, and they in turn were thecomforters.
