Double Cropping.—The practice of
double cropping is not much favored by
farmers, but cases are not unfrequently
reported which show it to l»e very profit
aide. For dairymen and stock-breeders
best there kind is perhaps of no way economically of raising the by
feod so as
combining two or three crops in one.
Mr. Josepn llarriN was very successful a
few years ago in raising a combined
crop of peas and oats in which the joint
product, if our memory is correct, was
at the rate of eighty bushels per acre,
which was certainly a I letter result, anil
so considered by himself, than cither
crop alone. It is sometimes found still
better to increase the number of kinds
combined in the same crop. A Western
New York farmer has reported the
rather unusual experiment of a quad¬
ceedingly ruple crop, profitable. tvlticli he He fournl planted to b« ex¬
oats,
peas, barley and wheat, and result was
nearly bo ninety remembered bushels ner acre. Now it
must tliat each of theao
grains is a valuable feed by iteelf, and
that when combined tho separate value
of each is still further increased. This
is fairly entitled to lie considered a
model crop and stockmen cannot do
better thau to try it on their owii farms.

Teaching Before Learning.
A lad of fourteen, of an exceptionally
nervous temperament, becomes a convert
at a revival in a camp-meeting. Instead
of home taking with his quickened love for God
him to make him a better boh
and brother and a more diligent scholar,
lie insisted upon going into the pulpit to
preach. Tlie singularity of his youthful
apjH'amnee, the wild fervor of his appeals,
drew crowds to hear him. Tlie “Boy
Evangelist" became an attraction in the
sect to which he belonged.
He was sent from one congregation to
another, producing wherever he wont a
feverish excitement Tho inevitable re¬
sult followed.
He was but a child; without experi¬
ence, There knowledge, could or even observation.
bo no substance in his ser¬
cries, mons; which they excited were only liis wild, incoherent
own emotional
nature to the uttermost
Finding, however, that they began to
fail in their effect on his heaters, he
adopted certain eccentricities of behavior
to secure attention; such as running up
and down tlie aisles, and poisiug him self
degenerated on one leg. In a buffoonery, short tune the actions
into and it was
found that the lad's mind was impaired;
tho loug nervous strain had unseated his
reason.
Tins is an extreme case, probably. But
there is a marked tendency iu American
youth to become teachers before they
have lioen learners. Mere babies of seven
or eight write stories for tlie papers, and
Sails who are little older edit journals.
Even for the religions world books arc
written in which immaculate little saints
convert godless mothers and drunkeu
lathers. Now for one such case as this
in actual life, there ant thousands of
obedience, faulty little and ones respect who need for their to be jiarento. taught
There are very few children, too, whose
hiaius will bear the forcing and unnatu¬
ral light of newspaper notoriety. Whole¬
some mental growth is found in the quiet
and seclusion of a pure home life.

Potatoes In Seven Ways.
Let me give yon a few little hints in
regard to tbs different methods of cook¬
ing potatoes, so that the oft abused

First Sunday, mt-shed pan'and potatoes; maah, peel, add
steam, place in a and then beat like

and beating will be found a great im¬
provement. their jack¬

ets. By way, any are over
they may be warmed over by not peel¬
ing them till oobl, and then slicing.
Tuesday, peel and bake them with
roast beef.
Wednesday, prepare them in the Ken¬
tucky style, as follows: The potatoes
are sliced thin, as for frying, and allowed
to remain in cold water half an hour.
Die slices are put into a pudding dish. and
They baked for are then hour. put When into taken an oven out,
an a
lump of butter the size of a hen’s egg is
ent into small bits and scattered .over
the top. Those who have never eaten
potatoes cooked thus do not know all the
capabilities of that esculent tuber. The
slicing allows the interior of each pota
tato to lie examined, lienee its value
where potatoes are doubtful, required. though
|XKir ones are not of necessity
Hie soaking in cold water hardens the
slices, so that they will hold their slrnpe.
The milk serves to cook them through,
and to make a nice brown on Hie top;
the quantity can only little lie learned by rich ex
l>erience; it just a is left as
gravy, moisten all the slices, then it is
right In a year of small potatoes, this
method of serving them will be very
welcome to many a housekeeper.
Thursday, peel, steam and serve
whole.
Friday, “potatoes a la pancake,”
peel, cut in thin slices lengthwise,
sprinkle with pepper and salt, and fry
in butter or beef drippingB, turning like
griddle cakes. boiled in their
jackets. Saturday, potatoes
These are simple ways, bnt give varie¬
ty. On Monday and Tuesday always
prepare them in some way in the oven,
so us to leave the top of the stove free.
