Deborah's Brown Hain Thirty.seven years ago a Yankee fishing skipper of 1Thial Haven, Me. named tiolomon Marshall was courting DeLorah Sholes of tipper Port La Tour, N. 8. While at her home he had bogged a lock of hey beautiful golden -brown ham During the succeeding winter, whioh he spent at his home, he re- ceived the news that the young lady of his heart had turned fickle mid was allowing another the houot; of her composts, to village merrymaking% In his despair he ancl a friend named Colby, who was afterwards killed in tlte war of tho rebellion, bored a three-soutrter- inch hole into a white birch tree then about live inches through, put the hair in and drove home after it a pine plug. Tito next sum- mer 110 went back to Nova Scotia and mar. ried the fair Deborah, in trimnph over his rival, cunt brought, her to the states, where he afterward died. He never thooght it necessary to reolahn the hair, and there it remained for year after year, the tree wax. ing large and strong, Etna covering over with its white wood and paper bark the precious token hid in its bosom. This last winter Mr. Edwin Smith, who 110W owns the old 3Iarshall farm, out the tree for fire wood. In splitting the wood the ax happened to hty the tree open exactly on pine plug, With a 10012 of beautiful hair behind it. The outside end of the plug was covered by three inches of solid wood, which consisted of thirty-seven annual rings, The hair and plug are new in possession of lIrs.

It is better to lose a little in their growth than to delay the work, with ttll the disadvantages of mud and rot. ;When harvested at this time it is Wiper. tont to place hem Where they will keep well. An apartment in a barn or out -house faeing the north, so as to remain cool, and provid. ed with a slatted floor to allow the air to pass op freely among them, answers well. The space below nay he the basement, and if the wind is permitted to blow freely below it will maintain good ventilation through the potatoes.

The distance apart 811001(1 not be so great as to allow the smeller potatoes to fall through. Such an apartment as this 10111 he fotind valuable on several accounts. Even where potatoes are stored when wet, they will soon become dry, und when they happen to be muddy, the upward current of air soon ;hies the inutl and causes it to settle all 1v11011 they aro moved the next time. It is well worth while for the farmer to provide such an apartment, largo enough to hold a few hundred bushels, or as moult as he commonly raises for his home use. The potatoes may be storcEl three or four feet thick. and he sufficiently ventilated. When from necessity the tubers have become muddy and are in danger of rotting from this cause, thinner strati= may be wash- ed by clashing on water, sutlicient draining immediately taking place, and rottiog in a, great degree being prevented by this opera. tion. \Viten the slated fioor apartment cannot be provided, the same principle may be adopted in a more imperfect manner. Poles or scantling or rails may be laid a few inches apart on a barn floor, and brush, narrow boards or coarse oorn-fodder laid across as a support:for the potatoes, &partial ventila- tion being thus provided. This will anstver for a small erop, or -when there is dang,er of rot. There may be sometimes exceptions to the statements which we have made in re. lotion to the time of harvesting the crop, but as a general rele, applying to most localities and to 01001 soils, the time /or digging shouhl be earlier than many farmers have adopted, and the practice wouhl load to ettelier planting, and to omitting the raising of very lute Nutrieties and late crops. -Albany Cultivator.

He says a, farmer garden usually loafers laek 01 attentirm at some of ' the busy 001180118, and where it does not ettltivation is 00 generally lef t mainly to hand work that it costs a great deal nee, than it should. Yet despite these a farmer who has 14 reasonably good garden will be surprised if he reckoned up through the 011a0011 how much of the 'Sunny living was thus procured, The garden cultivated chiefly 1:y hand labor pays better than anv other part of the farm, It would pay still better if htid out so that onitivation as in the fields could be done mainly with horse power. In estimnaing value of garden pro- duce it should at least, be tts high as retail prices in the city or village. It is only necessary for farmers near a niarket to keep strict account of what their gardens produce as compared with what they cost to induce them to extend their operations and grow a surplus for market after using all they need at home. Te extend the garden grow some small fruits, a few at first, and then increase the amouut the market re- quires, is tho easy eaul neural tvay to dis- continue grain farming, which belongs chiefly to the eheaper lauds of the North and Northwest. AS soon as a hunter does his the finds he has snore land . than he can either manure or cultivate as it should be.

The high price of garden land quickly rabies the price of all farming lands in the oeighborhoad tha,t need only better unumring and culltvas don to be inside equally produetive. Cure for Hard Times. A Neu...Hampshire farmer says, that while a farm free from debt well managed affords all the necessaries of life and many of its lxuries, it is not to be chassed among the institutions for making money. Parim ers do not need much money, and it is best that they are unable to make much. " fares the. land, to hastening ills a prey : Where wealth noeumulatos and men decay." Can any one imagine what a. calamity it would be if the host of discontented. farmers were to be taken from their farms and placed in other occupations in the great cities, there to make a ; or even if they were put there in their younger days before they had families to support and grow up with the eity How mauy would be as well off as they are on their farms to.day Not one ni a thousand would have ever risen above day wages, and that means just about a scanty living foe a small family. There is no business in the world in which a man is us sure of a oompeteuey, 11 he has any brains at all and any energy, as in agricultural parthits. It is true that the lives of some farmers' wives and daughters are a dull routine and their pleasures few and far between ; but this is all wrong and needless, and all their own fault. Some formers' wives and dough. tors haye the poetry taken 001 of their tives by doing work uot suited to their nat- ure, and no man worthy of tho name worth? allow such things. I would as soon see my wife shoulder the ttx and start for the woods as to allow her to milk, churn, make butter feed pigs, and many other thing which many farmers' wives do, end it is often con- tended "doesn't hurt them a bit." Let dis- contented farmers put more energy in their work, more pride in their surrouuding sand manner of living, u, greater regard for the ease and comfort of the female portion of their families, and my word for it you will hear very little more about hard times 111 Transplanting Rare Shrubs- Vick'a ilfooti:ier tells how to transphuit choice shrubs and trees safely as follows : Al. y complain of losiug shrubs and large plants ,..erietved hy express, as all tho soil iv taken mem the roots before they eve so n Don't ait until the shrubs are received be- fore y, u prepare the. bed for them, but as then as the order is sent make preparations for them.

With such dirersities nf orgaiiism, a system of rules can hardly he applicable to cavil, brit Dr. Edward Smith, in his excellent treatise on "Health," lays tbown some cardinal rules of health for students and brain Worker8 which are well worthy of consideration, even by those in the humbler conditions of mental workmanship than embrace poetry or philosophy. They are indeed worthy of consideration by all workers, for to all, eren the lowliest work, there an interval where the mind nmst have its swing. The rules are as follows; (1 ) Work in the early, rather than iu the later, part of the day., and clo not rob your- self of sletp hefore midnight. (2) Alternate yore. mental work with bodily recreation, and make as much use of the latter as dine will allow. Gymnastics which will expand the chest, singing, shooting, running, jump- ing and walking are proper kinds of relaxa. tion. (3) Lima your mental toil to that number of hours which will enable you properly to work tvell with the mind and to obtain proper recreation for it and the mind. These two first rules will apply even in the work of the hoesehold, where the good housekeeper has more mental stress upon her than she often consents to believe. The student, whether 11111.11 or W01110.11, will do well to test this regime of Dr. Smith, and see if it does not help him out in the problem of doing his work with the least exhaustion, Parents above all shouldguard their children against foolish habits, such es oyerstudy one 211110 and entire neglect at others -a neglect often the result of exhaustion at other time% There is no progress worthy of the pante whieh is not continuous and steady.
