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. —station Record. for Atari Ilofiftehold.

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.

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.

Let me give yon a few little hints in regard to tbs different methods of cook¬ ing potatoes, so that the oft abused boiled potato may be varied during the week at dinner: First Sunday, mt-shed pan'and potatoes; maah, peel, add steam, place in a and then beat like milk, butter and salt, better, till cake batter, the longer the tliev are nice and light. This steaming and beating will be found a great im¬ provement. their jack¬ Monday, the baked potatoes if in left 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. —The Housekeeper. Phil.
