ble to plant them till the weather
m-oderately warm and the soil iu good c
dition to be worked. The applicatio
suitable manures is desirable not only
increasing the product of a field but
causing the plants and tubers to meter
fast as possible. Seasons of protrac
drouth are very unfavorable for the prod
tio- n of .potatoes, as they cause a delay. in
their growth. The., best potatoes found in
any market came from regions where the
seasons are short and where drouths do not
ordinarily occur. - The poorest are raised
where the climate is very _ebangeable and
-where cold rains are succe•Med by intense
beat and -long periods Of dryness. The
most northern states and territories pro-
duce the best potatoes for the reason that
the climate is favorable to a continuous
growth. With the exceptiotkof the earlier
varieties that mature before Very hot , and

The Market Pince in Jerusniem.
In the market place thronged the peas-
ants, chiefly women. Each sat beside her
basket, calling to the passers to buy of her.
There were poor fowls tied helplessly by
their two feet, huge cauliflowers front the
well -watered gardens of Siloam, oranges,
lemons, citrons and dates heaped up
together, and here end there, but not often,
a bunch of spring blowers. The days were
passed, with little . promise of retaining,
when St. Jerome wrote of the vallec ,, about
Jerusalem as " pleasant and woody spots
full of delighttul gardens watered from the
fountain of Siloam." The gardens of roses
of his day are now but heaps of dust, only
the memory of them smells sweetly ; what
has been may yet be again.
Now and again a man with lemonade or
simple drinking water cried' in a shrill
voice, " Come bey of me," while he cli,,ked
the brass cups at his side to attract cus-
tomers.
The poor women and the little children
sat on the bare stones dressed hi their
tattered and beautiful clothes, their naked
arms braceleted up to the elbow with
silver and glass ornaments, chains of silver
about their necks, coins of silver and even
gold linen their heads. How was it that
with all these possessions they were ouly
sellers of eggs and vegetables? In truth.,
these peasants carry all they possess upon
their poor tired bodies; they have no
savings bank where to keep their earnings,
they must carry them always with them ;
so when they have bought three pairs of
thick bracelets, rings for each finger, and
chains for the neck, they set to work to
sew the coins themselves upon their head-
-dreases,which they never leave off. not even
while sleeping.
