AKRUTUTRAL. marine Pnlalom. To store potatoes properly we have to guard against heating, for althongh the potato will not abeolntely ferment by heat as so mnch vegetable matter will, a heap becomes warm enongh to excite any germ-langns there may be in the tnber, and this exhalation may be Btifficient to canse a decay, which can be communicated to roots in which no symptom of rot exists. Moisture is favorable to heating, and hence it is best to have the potato thoroughly dry before storing, if any considerable quantity is to be put away in bulk. Thus, if they are spread on a tarn floor or other cool place out of the sun, be fore putting into the root cellar, they will be proof against rotting When potatoes'ate perfectly healthy, there is not so much necessity for this care in drying. Hundreds of bushels are often taken at once from the field to the cel lar without any damage whatever resulting, and it is only in view of the possibility of rot that we think it ad visable to take the extra precaution in drviug. It is well to note that a cool shed is best to dry them in, as the tubers will otherwise absorb more heat than when they come out of the ground, and this is what we try to avoid. There is one disadvantage j n diving potatoes in this wsy, which is aiway more or less connected with dry cellars, nsmely, the gTeat loss from shrinkage which" results In an average dry cellar there ia often as mnch as a loss of 20 per cent, in bulk from shrinkage. Thus, 100 bushels stored away in a place like this in winter will give but 80 when taken out for sale in the spring. This is often as much and sometimes more than the advance in spring over fall prices, and is an argu ment often used to lnduoe growers to sell their crops as soon as taken up, instead of keeping them for the spring rise. But this loss can be wholly avoided, and the roots kept in excellent condition by carefully storing in the open ground. A dry place is to be selected, where the water can run easily away, ard the potatoes laid up in long narrow ridges, say about four feet wide, aud as long as the quantity to be protected demands. After the whole has been collected together, a thin layer of straw, only thick enough to keep the earth from falling in among the potatoes, is to be put along the sides and over the tubers, and a thin layer of soil, just enongh to keep the straw in place, is thrown over. It is best not to throw more earth than this over at first, as the natural heat of the potatoes will accumulate, while it is the object to let it pass rapidly away. As soon as there is danger of frost, then the potatoes should be covered thickly with soil, as the frost » certain to penetrate. In this way the potatoes are preserved at a temperature but little above the freezing point, and thus guarded against heating mnch, and at the same time there is little loss from evaporation—a great point gained when the bushel measure is brought out in the spring. BUsSrrf Cams. The Bureau of Statistics publishes the following statement of the number of full-blooded cattle in the Province of Ontar a. Canada, for the month of Au gust, 1882: Durham, 18.119 head; Devon, 1,440; Hereford, 834: Aberdeen Poll, 280; Galloway, 1,177 ; Ayrshire, 4,437. The popularity of the diflereut breeds ia manifested by the number of each. These reports are very useful and in structive, as by their extensive publica tion abroad, buyers from a distance are attracted to the Province, and a good business is thereby promoted. If simi lar statistics could be published in re gard to the blooded cattle in each county in Kentucky, i; would be not only interesting, but quite useful in indicating to our own people the status of their herds, and also in showing to persons from other States what there was for sale here, and where to buy it to tne best advantage. Even among our selves, enterprising men find out the deficiencies in regard to blooded stock in this county or tha‘, and gather un bunches of good cattle in the weli stoeked counties to ship to these needy ‘ counties for sale. By these operations, the good cattle are spread throughout I the State, to the great advantage of all parties interested. The greatest risk is incurred by the shipper who bays j Shorthorns, for instance, where they are i well known and highly valued, and ( takes them to a neighborhood where j the people have never tried them, and, of coarse, cannot appreciate them as j mnch as they deserve. The enterpris- j ing shipper under these circumstances ; ia a public benefactor, for he takes to - their very door* the particular kind of | stock most needed to improve the qual ! iky and value of all the cattle in that I vicinity; and in doing this he does for the people what they have not had I sufficient energy to do for themselves. Therefore, all these shipments of fine blooded cattle and sheep from one part of the State for sale in another should be encouraged as a public benefit, and at every sale there should be a general I turnout and active bidding at good prices to recompense these dealers and save them from Ices,—(farming World. The druggist who dispenses a great many drugs may become wealthy, i but it ia the one who dispenses with drugs that is healthy. A Nebraska savings hank has opened a children’s department, in whieh a deposit as small as one cent can be Frogs for the Feast. Frogs are most plentiful about the months ol June and July. Then, as the colder weather comes, they bury them selves in the mud, and lie dormant through the winter. The largest sup ply in early summer comes from League Island, in the Delaware river, very near Philadelphia. After July the frogs are caught and shipped from Canada. The town of Perth, Ontario, has the most important trade, and derives quite a handsome revenue from the shipment of the frogs to New York and Chicago. There is no distinguish able difference between the Pennsyl vania and Canadian breeds—the frogs being nearly of the same size and appearance. The Southern catch is considered the most profitable, because it reaches the market at the opening of the season, and furnishes a new deli cacy. In the course of the season New York receives from 1,000 to 1,500 pounds per day. The price averages about 50 cents per pound ; but, as the supply dimin ishes, it reaches the retail prioes of 60 snd7sceu<s In the summer of this year Canadian frogs sold for 25 cents. It is noticeable that the frogs are becoming scarcer every year. The con sumption of them an an edible is rap idly increasing, and 1 have no doubt bnt that in a few years they will not be purchasable. A nnmber of persons have tried to cnltivate them, bnt as yet no one has found food for the young fry. If a nnmber are placed together in a tank they will inevitably starve, and we can do nothing at all to save i them. The manner in which a frog is | caught is, perhaps, the most peculiar I part of any frog story. They are cap tured by the small boy, who, with a pole, hook and piece of red flannel, does the desperate deed. The flannel is lowered into the water over the head of the frog, and he becomes entranced, as it were, by the slowly-deaoending piece of color. As he remains motion less, the hook is dropped beneath his month, and, by a rapid movement, the boy lifts his pole and lands the frog. After they are canght they are skinned, and are relieved of their hind legs. These are packed in boxes, and are shipped to various parts of the coun try. There are more frogs consumed in this city than in entire France.—[N. Y. Times. Moral Wet Blankets. On the principle, I suppose, that every man exerts a certain influence over his fellows, the people who throw cold water over everything seem to dampen every one else's enjoyment. Their chief happiness onnsists in mak ing somebody else anxious and fore boding. They are birds of evil omen, always expecting something dreadful is coming. They look for the cholera next year. The small-pox is on the increase. Everybody, almost, is liable to paralysis. They like to read the statistics of death and disease. They like to attend fnnerals. They frequent cemeteries. They are fond of talking over signs of death and ill luck. The crops are sure to fail this year, they invariably say. Potatoes will rot, and the wheat will be smutty. Epizootic will rage, colds will flourish, and colds generally end in consumption, they say they have observed. The banks are all going to break, and there will be a regular panic. The man who likes to throw cold water will stop you in the streets and inquire after your health, and he will tell yon that you look just as his friend Simpson did, and Simpson died of apoplexy when he was just j about yonr age—ill only three hours, and left an inconsolable wife and eight children. He says yon look bllions, and remarks that his mother had just such a complexion a few days before she was taken down with typhoid fever. | If yon contemplate going on an excur sion into the conntry, he is sure it is going to rain—he never knew clonds like those in the Sonth to fail of bring ing wet weather. If yon are going to ride, he will tell yon that the roads are in a frightful condition, and the mnd np to yonr ankles. If yon have any particular friends, and happen to speak ! in their favor, he will roll np his eyes in pions distress, and sigh, and say if yon only knew what he knows ; and then he sighs sgain, and says, “Well, i we are all poor creatures!’’ And when yon insist on being told what he knows be sighs louder and more dismally than before, and says that it is against his principles to say anything to injure anybody, or to make them feel unhap py. In short, he never takes a cheer ful view of anything or anybody. ——— A Sweet Little Girl Burglar. Mary Morris, a petite fonrteen-year old girl, with a remarkably sweet face, which seemed to beam with childlike innocence, was sentenced by Jndge Moran, at Chicago, to two years in the House of Correction, she having plead guilty to fourteen indictments for bur glary and larceny. The Judge remarked that this was one of the most astounding cases of which he had ever heard, and that the sweet little darling was the most remarkable burglar of modern times. For the past two yean she has plied her vocation, committing innu merable daring burglaries by night, and well filling the bouse of her parents with dress goods, jewelry, diamonds and articles aggregating ten thousand dollars in value. A Urge part of the plunder had been disposed of, the revenue supplying the entire family's wants. Eight hundred indictments could have been found against her. Tlje story of her crimes and escapades would All a ponderous volume. Her mother, Helen Morris, was sentenced to three-and-a-half years to the penitentiary as an aooeaeory. Literary Circles. As the long winter evenings approach, reading olnbs shonld be organized in every neighborhood where there are reading people; and that means every where. “I am.a farmer's wife,” writes a lady, “and for years have belonged to a literary circle of which the members never have a meeting, for we live miles apart, and many of uj do not see eaeh other onee a year; others do not meet once in five years; yet we always under stand each other, for onr eommon motto is: 'When you have anything good to read, pass it around.’ That we may always be sure of something new, one takes the ‘Centnry,’ another the ‘Eo lectie,’ another 'Harper’s,' and another •Popular Science Monthly,' and we all exchange, not only the magazines, but whatever books that may happen to come to us. Some of tlie books are of bnt transient interest or worth, but we let them go, indifferent as to their re turn; bnt they are sometimes standard works of permanent value that will be nsefnl for future reference, and for such the pass-word, ‘Take good care of this,’ always insures its safe return. Thus you see that although we have 'retired to a farm in pursuit of health and happiness,’ we still have our oonnections with the outside world, and may yet make our own the best thoughts of the best minds.” Cairo occupies an am a of between three and four square miles, and con tains at the present day not less than 400,0011 inhabitants.

Disease is in a great many—perhaps the ma jority—of instances, the underlying causo of mental depression. It will almost invariably be found, for instance, that hypochondriacs are dyspeptic, bilious subjects, and all persons who have had any experience of such cases are aware that sufferers from diseases of the kid neys and bladder are especially subject to tits of despondency. The sure way to overcome depression is to try a course of Hostetter’e Stomach Bitters, a cheering cordial which is peculiarly antagonistic to the “bines," as well as to the causes which produce them. This popular and efficacious corrective of a dis ordered condition of the system remedies the most obstinate oases of indigestion, biliousness and constipation, overcomes disorders of the nrinary organs, purifies and enriches the blood, and restores vigor to the body as well as elasticity to the mind.
