your Mock.
In traveling over the country dur
ing the winter months, how often do
wo seo poor dumb brutes exposed to
the cold winds, and pelting storms of
rain and sleet and sn jw! This is cru
el and sinful on the p irt of the own
ers of such animals; and, besides this,
it is poor economy for a man to keep
more stock than ho can feed and shel
ter comfortably. It would be far bet
ter, in such cases, to dispose of a part,
even at a sacrifice, and take good
care of the ballance. “ A merciful
man is merciful to his beast ” is not a
scriptural quotation, but it is never
theless true. “ Blessed are the merci
ful for they shall obtain mercy ” is
scripture aud truth, too, and applies
to those who have a proper regard for
the poor dumb animals, who are de
pendent upon them for comfort and
protection. We have often been pain
ed to see the gross neglect on the part
of many in this matter, and would re
joice, if they would adopt a more con
siderate and humane policy.
Keeping Sweet Potatoes in the
South.
We have recently noticed in many
of our exchanges, instructions for the
keeping of sweet potatoes, copied from
papers which intended the original
advice for latitudes and climates to
tally different from ours. The advice
they give is doubtless good for the
section of country for which it is in
tended—but some discrimination
should be used and allowance made
for differences of soil and climate.
The following brief instructions on
the subject are the result of experienc
ed growers in this part of the country,
and are thoroughly reliable and safe
to follow:
Ist. Be sure and dig the potatoes
before frost nips the vines ; bank or
house thorn on tho day of digging.
2nd. Pick out all potatoes that are
bruised or rut. Preparo the spot for
banking in the morning, before the
sun is high -cut off with tho hoe or
spade all grass or weeds and leave the
place exposed to the sun and air all
day. Lay the potatoes on the bare
ground, about 20 bushels to a bank
and bring it to the form of a cone, cut
corn stalks of a length to reach from
the ground to the top of the bank; lay
on at least two courses of stalks, but
four will do much better. Cover with
earth from four to five inches thick,
leaving a hole on the top of the hill,
which should be filled with pine straw,
place a board or piece of tin on top to
protect from rain. After one week
take off board or tin and bank up sol
id with earth.
3rd. Always place most earth on
the North-East side of the embank
ment.
By this course of treatment we can
keep potatoes in this latitude until
May. —Farm & Gardener.
Improvement of Stock.
Inferior stock should be got rid of
as soon as possible. It is a very erro
neous practice to waste provender by
feeding animals which will make no
adequate return for the outlay. Old
horses, cows and sheep are very un
profitable stock; the former are not
vigorous enough to perform the labors
of the farm, when most needed. Old
milch cows are not fit for dairy purpo
ses, and old breeding ewes produce
small, weak lambs and very light flee
ces. The improvement of his stock
should be the constant aim of the
farmer. This may be done by select
ing the best breeding animals that can
be obtained. No money is more judi
ciously expended than that which goes
to procure the services of a first rate
stailiou, bull, buck, or boar. In order
to procure superior stock, the breed
ing animals, male and female, must
be of the very best quality, and they
and their progeny must have an
abundance of good provender at all
seasons.
The Crops in Ireland.
The news we receive from our spe
cial correspondents in Ireland, as well
as the information otherwise obtained
regarding the condition of the crops in
that unfortunate country, is not at all
encouraging. The prospects are
gloomy enough to justify the anticipa
tion that the poorer classes, especially
those in the country districts, will suf
fer severely during the coming winter.
The yield of the wheat, oat and barley
crops has decreased, and in compari
son with that of last year shows that
the diminution will be considerably
lower than what was expected. The
turnip crop has also fallen off. To
swell, as it were, the miseries of the
Irish tenant farmer, to add to his mis
fortunes and render his difficulties
more perplexing, the potato blight has
again visited his fields. In the south
it is estimated that one-third of the
yield will prove bad, while in other
parts wu are told that from one-half
to two thirds of the present crop will
turn out unsound. This is a melan
choly record, and the facts we record
may be productive of new troubles
among the poorer classes. A plenti
ful harvest brings peace and happi
ness to the cotter’s home, but with
short yields aud diseased crops dis
content and disturbances are likely to
follow.— N. V. Herald.
Bound to do a full Day’s Work.
Mr. M.. of Oxiord, don't object to
having a hired man to do a full day’s
work—at least, so we judge from the
following story : A short time ago a
man went to his place for work. Mr.
M. set him ploughing round a forty
acre field. After he had ploughed
faithfully all day until the sun was
about half an hour high, he express
ed his opinion that it was about time
to quit.
“Oh, no!” replied Mr. M., “you can
plough eight times more just us well
as not/’
So the hired man ploughed around
six or eight times, then went to the
house, took care of bis team, milked
nine cows, ate his supper, aud found
ten o’clock staring him in the face
from the old timepiece.
Said the hired man to Mrs. M.,
“Where is Mr. M ?”
The good woman answered, “He
has retired ; do you wish to see him?
He replied that he did., After be
ing conducted to the bedroom, he
said.
“Mr. M., where is your axe ?”
“Why, said Mr. M., “what do you
want to do with the axe ?”
“Well,” said the hired man, “I
thought you might like me to split
wood till breakfast is ready.”

THE AMERICAN WASHER!
PRICE, $5,50.
The 'American Washer Saves
money, Time and Drudgery
The Fatigue of Washing I»av no Longer
Dreaded, hut Economy, Efficiency, and Clean
Clothing, Sure.
In calling public attention to this little ma
chine, a lew of the invaluable qualities, (not
possessed by any other Washing Machine yet
invented,) are here enumerated.
It is the smallest, most compact, most porta
ble. most simple in construction, most easily
operated. A child ten years old, with a few
hours practice, can thoroughly comprehend
aad effectually use it. There is no adjusting,
no screws to annoy, no delay in adapting! It
is always ready for use ! It is a perfect little
wonder ! It is a miniature giant, doing more
work and of a better quality, than the most
elaborate and costly. One half of the labor is
saved by its use, and the clothes will last one
half longer than by the old plan of the rub
board. It will washthe largest blanket. Three
shirts at a time, washing thoroughly! In a
word, the ablution of any fabric, from "a Quilt
to a Lace-Curtain or Cambric Handkerchief,
are equally within the capacity of this little
GEM ! It can he fastened to any tub and taken
off at will.
No matter how deep rooted a prejudice may
exist against Washing Machines, the moment
this little machine is seen to perform its won
ders, all doubts of its cleansing efficacy and
utility are banished, and the doubter and de
tractor at once become the fast friends of the
machine.
We have testimonials without end, setting
forth its numerous ad vantages over all others,
and from hundreds who have thrown aside the
unwieldy, useless machines, which have signal
ly failed to accomplish the object promised
in prominent and loud sounding advertise
ments.
It is as perfect for washing as a wringer is for
wringing. The price another paramount in
ducement to purchasers, has been placed so low
that it is within the reach of every housekeeper,
and there is no article of domestic economy
that will repay the small investment so soon.
§5.50.
All that is asked for this GREAT
LABOR SAVER, is a fair trial. We
guarantee each machine to do its work
perfectly.
