Potatoes, generally, are probably yet to be dug and housed, although in latitudes •aorth of 32° it is generally advisable to do .his job abnr.t the last week in October. No royal meth od of digging ami housing has yet been accepted that will uniformly result in keeping the potatoes sound nnd good until epriniT* It i* * question that seems not to nave engaged the attention of scientific experimenters fo the extent that itt just importance demand*—how to save the aweet potato crop? If thin problem could be satisfactorily and practically aolved, the potato crop would become to the South what the turnip crop is to Eng land and the Irish potato crop is to Ire land. , Whether the rot is the cause of the fungi, or tbe fungi is the cnuseof the rot, is a sci entific question, and a correct answer to it in»y lead to some practfcal method of uni versal application, whereby the crop may lie kept from rotting. It is pretty giuerally believed that the conditions that seem to favor the rotting of potatoes is too much moisture and too high or too low a tem perature. It ia generally admitted that the crop should be dug while the ground is dry, if S racticable, and about the time of the first illlng frost. We prefer not to wait until the vines are killed. These conditions can be more or less controlled by the grower; certainly those which concern the housing or hanking First, as to dryness: Select a gravelly or sandy spot, the natural drainage of which is good.* Driven stake (a heart rail will do) in the ground a foot deep. Saw oil square at the top, leaving the stance about III or 4 feet high. Rake the aurfa«te soil to the depth of an inch, form a circular area around the stake -i 6 feet in diameter, forming something of r circus ring .around the stake. Cover the space with dr y pine leaves or broom sedge uutil a bed is f ormed that will he 3 or 4 inches thick when the weight of the potatoes is ou it. Now, heap the dry potatoes carefully around the cen ter stake, carefully avoiding bruising them, .od rejecting all cut and bruised tubers. Pile them up one by one, as hteep at they will lie. Then wrap the whole in pine straw, or brouui bUaw or corn strike, sev eral inches thick. If either of the latter two materials be used, it should be placed straight and smooth. Next cover the whole with s il dug from immediately around, the base'of the hill (makings ditch) to the depth o! three or four inches. Do not cover too top for a time, except with a wide 'ward to keeD Ihe rain out. If pluo straw ae used, it will be necessary t» lay iong Soxrili around, breaking joints, before add ing the earth. As the weather grows colder add more e&xth, until by the middle of De cember the earth covering will be not less than one foot in thickness. A little straw nay now be laid on top ot the ADI and covered with earth, replacing the bo rd. If this work be done carefully, an inde pendent cover over the hills will not be necessary. Occaslonaly the owner should examine the hills and we that the covering of earth be replaced where washed off, and that no depredations sre being committed by midnight lovers of the succulent root. FOUK no«>». The average Southern farmer is fond of cord bread, and it would be no great pri vation to have biscuit but thr#e times a week, but bs draws the line of table re trenchments at bacon; he must have his “hog” as well as his “hominy.” It behooves him, therefore, to look well to the pig pen. November ia tl.e time to finish fattening those intended for killing. After giving them the run of the pea fields, let them have access to the peanut* and enufas, and finally to the potato patch. Potatoes make just as good and firm bacou as corn does; but the second quality laid is not ao good. There is nothing we have evertrUd that is in all poiuts an gco.l as corn meal. 1 ven when running on pens and potatoos, it ia well to feed at least once a day, say at night, on corn. Bat do not put the |>orkent in a filthy, uncleanable pen. Lay three small ailia three or four feet apart, cover with rough inch plank and build a pen over It, so that the manure and filth can be easily pushed out every day, ant let the food be put iu clean plank troughs, whicb should be so arranged that the animals can only get their noses into the feed. Give clean water, clean feed, and keep troughs and pens as clean as possible, and von will hare clean, firm, sweet bams and»boulders aud white, solid lard. Let partly decayed or otherwise damaged food be given to hogs that are not to be made into pork within a few weeks. In view of the serious losses of pork last winter on account of unfavorable warm weather after butchering, it would bo well to arrange in time for a supply of ice to guard against a recurrence of the losses. At the present low price ol ice, it might be well to use it whenever it is desired to have a “hog killing,” and regardless of the weather. Why not? Will one ton of ice save 9 half ton of pork in ordinary weath er? If any one of our farmer readers sue cesdully used ice last winter, or at any pre vious time, in aaving pork, let ui have the benefit of his experience, giving details, tic. POl’/.TJtY. Another item of fall work which should not be disregarded by the farmer is good attention to his poultry. Borne farmers think poultry is too small an item for them to bestow sty care upon. But what con stitutes a good, progressive farmer Is due attention to small things. But poultry, when well cared for, is one of the moat profitable branches of farming, for the money invented But hens must have at tention, and as '-gg production in winter is one of the most important factors in the poultry business, the hen should have every facility given her for egg production. See that your fowls have good, dry, warm quarters, where they c«n snooze snugly until morning without fear of a cold draft of air or wa er from a leaky roof. If your hen hcu«e has a dirt floor, fill it a foot deep in dry earth, so that the damp will not rue. Nothing will discourage and stop * hen from laying quicker than to roost over a damp floor or to wade through water going out of the hen house; ihe will lil « bankrupt law or sue for femme They * It is a mle one; »1 i will not lay*eggs under such conditions. By the ti ie this is sll doue, corn gath ered and wt )d prepared for winter, it will be upon yoi. And if the wood is put un der shelter would take lesa wood and be better to ha die. In the a -antime do not forget hour# convenience . See that there are good walkways tc the well and meat house, that the root is ; jod, and the house otherwise warm and c nfort&ble. Let's Have Farmers' Hradlits Circles. From the lad ms Farmer. AH that ft ild be said regarding the im portance of farmers educating and inform ing themselves in all matters that affect their calling is true, and needs to be im pressed on ou minds. It never was more essential that now that farmers should be educated met They need, in the first place, a bettcrfanilerbianding of their busi ness, how to n ike it profitable, how to in- crease yield*, ruprove the quality of pro duct* and mil <*• expenses. This r* quires a knowledge of the methods pursued*!)/ the most Biicce*eful men in the calling, and this requires the reading of books aud ag ricultural papers. Again, if farmers are to occupy their pro|*r place in our l-gis» Iaative assemblies and other public ollLcs it will be imperatively necessary that they post themselves in several branches of learning that have heretofore been sup-. posed to belong exclusively to other classes. They must study the science of p3litical economy, and become somewhat famiiiar with the laws of trade and com- merce. They mast Itndjr tlie hUtory of our own and'other nation., and learn the canecr of national prosperity and national disinter, dll the learn.ng that goes to fit tutu for law-mnk.ra nnd go.ernor, ahould ho their atudy, and there ia much besides that ahould engage th.ir allentioh. hot ua inaugurate farmers’ reading circlea with out delay. Oa. of the first thing! will be to ratn‘j]ilh a lial of rule* to go.crn the circle, then appoint officer! to open corre spondence, then a committee to plan out a courre of reading or ilttdy, and thin ar range with pnhijihrr. tor th. neceaiary hooka at their loweat rales to numbers. Let there be a general expreaaion by all 1 c - eI '»n imerestul (and all ahould be interested) in the subject. Our columns are open. About the Perm.

When no longer needed lor use in the fall, all farm tool., implements and ma chinery should he thoroughly cleaned, oiled or painted, and store.1 away under eheltnr in a dry pirate. The farmer of to day requires more tools than the farmer of a gem ration ago, because he employs leas muecl*. They are a big item of expense: take good care of them.

Mrs. Mattoon b came so interested in the fam ily that Anty had many a pleasant out ing with tbe pony and village cart after that. The summer paused and the winter came. All the city houses were closed and the city folks went away to their winter homes, but Elise Mat-oon never forgot the “GoJden-R&d Girl” and her brother. _ Ev ery few days what Amy calls “good litera ture for children ’comes to them and makes the winter-da> s bright and cheery fur them in their lonely mountain home, and Billy nevr ndsany stori-s in tho.e periodicals and pipers that make him wish to run away from his lovzd oncl and hia duty to them.—'TheCnriattan at Work.
