The price paid for them was from $25 to §30 a hundred at a box factory. Some light wood should be used,of course, so as to make them as light as possible. They need not weigh more than six or seven pounds. Early in the season, while the skin slips, our potatoes are dug (not thqpwn) into these boxes, and ihe boxes are covered as fast as filled. They are then safe from sun and rain till wanted for market. The! covers are simnly pieces of boards cut .about fifteen by eighteen inches.

Of course, these boxes filled with potatoes should be carried on a spring wagon, and cov­ ered by canvas from suo and rain.-- Country Gentleman. late Cabbage Plants. It is not necessary for a crop of late cabbage to start the plants in a hot­ bed. Make a place out doors as rich and mellow as possible, sow the seed in drills rather thinly, and cover nights to keep in the heat. It is very important to make a rapid tut stocky growth. This may be done by putting nitrate of soda in the drill fow and transplanting each- plant once if not more times before finally setting it out where it is to make a head. Plants thus treated are worth double those grown clofeely crowded in a matted bed. A Common Wiif. r The following plan for milking cows is vet practiced on many farms in Pork In Beef Barrels. * It is difficult to clean a barrel that bas been used for pickling beef, so that it will keep pork sweet the fol­ lowing summer. This, too, even When the beef itself Is removed he- fore it bas received any taint. There are possibly microbes from the beef which penetrate the wood of the barrel and multip'.y rapidly wh-n they have access to pork. A barrel 1ex:is, and is not the only farm cus- i that has been used for pork will keep torn which has nothing but antiquity 1 beef with little difficulty if carefully to recommend it: When the boy and cleaned, but this is a rule that aeem- the dog have succeed in penning the ingly does not work both ways. cows, grab the bucket, " throw Into it the half-gallon cup, hang the csflf rope over your shoulder, and go in. Have a calf turned in from the calf pen and then immediately go to work to rope it. Of course it will run from one side ot the cow to the other every time it sees you. If you see a club convenient, seize it and beat the calf some; this will loosen its and give it room to grow and enable you to get rid of a little Of your bad temper. After awhile the calf will be roped, when you will immediately drag it to a post and tie it there. If it chokes and falls, no matter; it will then be quiet until you are done milk­ ing, and it will hold still while you take the rope off. Now you can sur- rouud the cow, drive'her up in a corner and milk her. If she does not stand, let her know that she has to, and boat her jnto submission, man who cannot boss his own cows ought not to have any. If you are long subduing the cow, the teats will dry up and the cow will "hold her milk." In ttiis case you must let the calf suck until the teats are well' slobbered, and the QOW "lets down." 1 Having learned to always milk with the teats in this condition, you can-; not milk at all.if they are clean and i dry. No matter how much the slob* 1 lier squeezes through the fingers and | drops into the milk--it will mostly j strain , out. Occasionally during milking, dip up with the fingers a lot of froth from the milK and apply to the teats, for they must at all times be drippiug wet or vou can't milk them. Luring the rumpus,of course, a good deal of dust will be kicked up and much of it will settle in the milk bucket. That is all right; it is less { trouble to strain out the coarsest of < it and let the rest settle to the bot­ tom, and stay there, than to be bothered with a bucket cover. This 1 style of milking is gradually going out of fashion, but will never entirely i disappear until the milleoium. ---Farm and Rtfnch. . .. • ,< Rvgar Beets for Hogs. There is nothing better as a part of the ration for breeding sows, both before and after they have farrowed than sygar beets. The dry-grain diet, or even that of milk, does not keep the digestion good, and above . all it favors fattening rather than hide j providing material for the pigs the breeding sow carries. Milk-produo» ing, green food is just what the sow needs, and there is none better than the sugar beet It is preferable to the mangel, as it is sweeter and has more nourishment Foreign Grapes An Hardy. It is a mistake to suppose that most of tlie foreign varieties of grapes are easily winter killed. A little protec- . tion makes them as safe in winter as A 1 our native varieties. It is summer ; alternations of cold nights with hot j days that injures grape foliage and j makes the foreign grapes mildew so ' easily. If the foreign grape vine have protection overhead at night in summer and be planted in a warm j place it can frequently be ripened out . of doors even in our northern clime. Japanese Persimmons. The Japanese persimmon is'more highly thought'of than this fruit is in this country. It can be grown farther north than can any of our native persimmons, and when we get more used to the fruit, there is likely to be a steady and paying demand for it The more such extensions of their industry are formed, the better will be the gains of fruit growers and farmers. Hence a hearty welcome to all meritorious novelties. Hard Times In Kngland. Hard times tell on Engl ish farmers in more ways than one. The com­ petition of other lands is yearly re­ ducing the wheat production, not aione by decreasing acreage, but the last year or two decreasing yields per , follows: acre. Something ot this may be due ' to the unfavorable seasons, but it is probable that part is the lesult of decreasing care and interest in this crop. With wheat as cheap as now, the largest crop gives the English farmer no certainty of profit He no longer can afford the special manures for wheat which 50 or 60 .years ago brought away the guano deposits of western South America to manure British wheat fields. Guano is dearer« than it used to be, and is almost wholly superceded by deposits of nl- \ trates of mineral origin. If the En- i el ish farmer sows wheat these times he does so because wheat is a Kood i crop to seed down with But he gives | | no special fertilizer to the wheat It i would perhaps Injure rather than help , the seeding and the increased crop t will not pay.(This is the dull routine I performance of old tasks after the i buoyancy and hopefulness that torm- J j erly made them seem pleasant has ' gone out of them. It is a condition j that thousands ot American farmers have become Japanese English. •*Tiie .Tapinese students," says an American teaching in that country, "are fond of using long, high-sound­ ing words. One day I told the story of 'Jack and the Beanstalk' to one of my classes of young men and asked them to reproduce it in writing. I used the simplest possible English in< order to make It easy for them to un* derstand. and what was my surprise when I came to correct the papers to find the first one I took up began as *Onc? upon a time there lived a poor widow who for certain pecuniary considerations was obliged to sell her cow.' Another one wrote: •Jack said to the fairy: "Please tell me the way to ihe nearest hotel;"' and still another wrote, 'the giant said to the hen that laid the golden egg; "Borned an egg. Borned an­ other same way."" A student asked one of the teachers in our theological scnooi to please teach him 'idiotic' English. A student in some other school was asked to make a transla­ tion of the proverb, *Out of sight,out of mind.' This was the result* 'The blind are insane.'" The Successful Newspaper. The successful newspaper is that which follows the advice offered by Abraham Lincoln to a public mau: "Keep close to the people;" It must tell them what they wish to know-- all of the news of all the world.

No better opportunity to get an idea of the oddities in family and given names can be had than atone of the treasury branches, where checks from all parts of the country come in, and none of these offices get a wider range of novelties in nomenclature than the sub-treasury in Cincinnati, says the Commercial Gazette, The sub-treasury does a tremendous busi­ ness in pension checks, and some very curious indorsements appear upon the bits of paper, which, as a matter of fact, give more conclusive evidence than do the majority of the other financial documents sent in that, the ways of the American christeners are past finding out A collection of some of the curious names under which persons no doubt manage to lead respectable lives has to include a good many Indians, but the most novel of their titles are fullv matched by some of the appela- tions of whites. The colored brother, too, is no doubt responsible for hid share of the queer names. As to the pious antecedents df Christian scripture there should be no doubt; and Christian Bible should be equally above reproach. John the Baptist Theophllus Ploof can no less than live up to his name, while Anna Ketchabaptist may find in hers a reminder ot some old fami.y romance. Abel Cain has to thank biblical sources evidently for the way he writes his autograph. Christian is a favorite.

Turnipseed, Sandy Beard, Bad Temper, Adam Apple, and Pleasant Ladd offer examples of rather curi­ ous combinations. There are others which are still more unusual. Lone Liar, for instance, is certainly an oddity. George Washington Ananias suggests an incongruity. So does Temperance Rumy, while Day Knight and August Blizzard ard not far be* hind. Smith Corns, Lean Redman, C. W. Heavystride, Daniel Death, Henry Fivecoats, Birdsong Crow, Henry Pancake, and Fred Coldsnow are all names to attract attention on a Signboard. Geography was evi­ dently respected in the family of Tennessee Texas Bowman, while pa­ triotism must have assisted in the se­ lection of America Cannon, America England, and America Patrick. Adam Skunk would naturally ask to have his name spoken with the accents in the right place. Welcome Home is a pleasing title, while there is some­ thing curious about the sound of Seneca Sly and Betsy Bump. Ripus Uptheback should run no danger of having his mail delivered to some­ body else. James Necessary, James Walkingstick, L. W. Cashdollar, Peggy Way, Mary Tickle, Elizabeth Scalp, Hugh Hash, Simon Pure, Ed­ ward Daddysman, Diamond Stone, Peter Pence, and John Unsold are certainly far from common names. Madison Square and Asnbury t*ark should be weli-known and popular. How to liaise a Family Horse. A writer in the National Stock­ man says: "1 undertook to raise an all-purpose horse. It was for myself. I had a fine mare to start with and A good one, which weighed 1,250 pounds. 1 bred her to a trotting-bred horse. He was rather small, other­ wise a perfect horse, and the kindest disposition that 1 ever saw in a stallion. The worst I could see was his service fee--$25 looks large when we don't know what we are going to get Some of our large horse advo­ cates said, 'You will have something nobody will want' It is not so. I have a colt that will make a 1,200- pound horse, handsome and as near perfect as you will often find. There are lots of men who would like to have him. i commenced to educate him when about a week old, by put ting on a halter. By the time he was three weeks old my little girls, one 7 and the other .i years old, could go and halter him and lead him any plac& It dii not make much differ­ ence whether the halter was on or not, he would go with them. By the time he was three months old I could drive him with lines any place; I got a bridle on parpose, with a leather bit, so as not to hurt his mouth. He was two years old May 15. We drive him to buggy and also double, and he is perfectly safe for a lady to drive We do not give him very long drives nor put him to very heavy work. He will go to town and back in as short a time as any horse, but will make a JJo. 1 family horse. I am so well pleased with results that I have bred the same way again." Glorifying* the Kicker. In politics, as in religion, there is a great deal of "kiCKing" to be done if we would get up out ot old ruts and keep up with our opportunities. "Kicking" is synonymous with progress, or at least there would be no progress without it If it hadn't been for the "kickers" we should have gone on believing that the world was flat and that the sun revolved around it Had it not been for the "kickers" we should still be burning men at the stakes or tor­ turing them with thumb-screws for not recanting their heterodox convic­ tions. If it hadn't been for the "kickers" we woukl still be paying taxes to great Britain and the Declaration of Independence had never been pro­ mulgated. "Kicking" is the foundation of civil and religious liberty* and'the world has nooe too much of either. It has required a grent deal of "picking" to accomplish what we have done as a nation. It will re­ quire considerable "kicking" to undo some things that we have not done wisely. It must be borne in iui»d that "kicking" necessarily implies something, to be kicked, and as a general rule it is seldom that any­ thing gets kicked that doesn't deserve it--Washington Star. , Baking Powder is absolutely pure.

He would hold ' ill his left hand a glass of wine, and would allow six of the strongest men in the town to hold his «rm, and, notwith­ standing all their efforts tfl'^jiMVent him, he would drink the wine. So novel and so surprising a display of strength, as it was naturally re­ garded, at tracted a very crowded house, and expectation was on tiptop, when our hero appeared on the stage, glass in hand, and politely invited any half- dozen of the audience to come forward and put his prowess to the test. Several gentlemen, among whom was the Mayor of th« pln/\«v irnnjedifttely advanced to the stage, and, grasping the left arm of Vogel, apparently ren­ dered the performance of his promised feat out of question. There \yas an awful pause for a moment, when bur arm-bound hero, eying the gentlemen who had pinioned him, said -broken English: "Jenteelmen, are you^dkready? Are; you quite sure you nave got fast hold?" The answer being given in the affirm­ ative by a very confident nod from those to whom it was addressed. Vogel, to the infinite amusement of the spec­ tators. and to the no small surprise of the group around him, advancing his right arm, which was free, very coolly took the wineglass from his left hand, and, bowing politely to the half-dozen gentlelmen, said: "Jenteelmen, I leave the honor to drink all your goot health," at the same time quaffing off the wine, amidst a general roar of laughter and universal cries of "Bravo, bravo! Well done, Vogel!" Burying AUi^ls So defective are many of tne ordi­ nary evidences of death, that medical science has given the 'subject a great deal of attention.

Bodies have often-: been fdund turned over in coffins, as if the occu­ pants had turned over and tried to get out. In numerous other cases of a sim­ ilar sort the tongue has been discov­ ered protruding from the mouth, as if from suffocation, and there have been stains from bleeding on the burial clothing. Now, such facts as these were amply sufficient in former days to convince the most- skeptical that the persons concerned had been interred alive.

Weight of a Crowd. ^ In a paper by Prof. Kernot, read b^> fore' the Victorian Institute, he com­ pared the various estimates as to the weight per square foot of a crowd. One estimate, quoted as French prac­ tice by Stpney and Trautwine, gives pounds per square foot as the weight ct. a crowd, Hatfield, in "Transverse Strains," gives 70 pounds; Mr. Page, engineer to Chelsea Bridge. 84 pounds: Mr. Nash, architect to Buckingham Palace, quoted by Tredgold. 120 pounds; Mr. W. M. Kernot, at Working Men% College, Melbourne, gives the weight at 126 pounds; Prof. W. C. Kernot, at Melbourne University, puts it,vat 143.1 ^pounds; and Mr. Bindon B. Stoney, in his work on "Stresses," as 147.4 pounds Eer square foot. The space occupied y soldiers, as taken by Hatfield in his estimate, is not the same as a crowd. Soldiers are arranged in lines at a dis­ tance apart to allow room> for . knap- Hacks and other aocoutdrraontsj 1 but- a crowd is forced together into close oon- | tact, an average man in a crowd occu-' pying a space of little, if any, more than one square foot. On the whole, Prof. Kernot inclines to favor Mr. Stoney's estimate of a little more than one man per square foot, and gives it as proved that a dense crowd of well- grown men weighs between 140 pounds and 150 pounds to the square fo#.
