A short scrvico was held by Kov. James Pearl; a bountiful dinner was eaten and tho guests spent a pleasant ovoning. Coloctlns rotatocs for iced. For several years past tho matter of se lecting potatoes for seed has been fre quently discussed, some preferring cer tain parts of tho potato while othors pre ferred using tho whole seed or n certain numberof eyes. It. is demonstrated that tho seed end is in every respect equal to nny other portion of the potato, with n de cided advantage in its favor so far as weight of crop is concerned, though the actual number of the best potatoes canto from tho center eyes. The vitality ot oyes utol ns seed improves according to their terminal position upon tho potato. The yield in proportion for an aero is 200 bushels for tho butt oyes, 259 bushols for tho center eyes and 2S2 bushels for tho Heed-end oyes. Tho ox pcrinionts demonstrato that singlo eyes used as seed yielded a satisfactory crop per hill, whilo tho crop was also more uniform in quality than from wholo potatoes or ordinary cuts, and yielded n smaller proportion of small potatoes than ordinaiy cuts of wholo potatoes. In com paring ordinnry ctita with wholo potatoes moro favorabfo results wero derived from tho cuts than from the wholo ones, nnd especially so when tho amount of seed used is substmcted from tho wholo crop. It was demonstrated that single oyes when cut deeply, so as to contain somo substance, gavo much bettor yields than when cut shallow. Early planting gavo bolter results. in quality and total yield than whon later planting won practiced. In regard to distance between tho toed in tho hills it was demonstrated that closo planting diminished tho yield of good potatoes and increased tho vield of suinll potatoes by measure, whilo f.Ttilizois leftover from a previous so ison exercised a marked infhicnco upon tho crop. In tho experiments of othors tho planting of wholo iiotntoes scorned to givo tho best results, but when tho largo quantity of seed so used is subtracted from tho yield it is doubtful if nny ud vantngo is gained when tho cost is con sidered. Tho seed ends may bo used for producing largo potatoes by placing tho teed at a greater distauco in tho rows, nnd it is probablothatby using less seed nnd moro thorough tillago bolter results may bo obtained in proportion to lubor nnd amount of seed used. Horio Constipation. Tho condition can genornlly bo ic lioved by giying a feed of four quarts of apples or potatoes every night foi a week. Try this for a week and if satis factory results nro not obtained place a kottlo containing four quarts of watei on tho tiro. Add to this ono pint of clean flaxseed. Doll until thoroughly cooked and tho liquid is reduced about ono-fourth by ovnnoration. Put four qunrts of swcot wlio.it bran in a clean pail and ndd n tablospoonful of salt, i Tour tho llaxsccd tea, with tho seeds, i into tho pml containing tho bran. Mir tho samo with n clean stick or other implement until tho bran is thoroughly wet, thon cover closely with something to retain tho steam, and set nsido until cool enough to bo cnton ; thon placo tho pail containing tho mash in tho manger of tho horse. If ho is not inclined to ent it pour a pint of dry oats in tho centre, and boforo ho finishes tho oats ho will bo likely to get n tnsto of tho mush. If tho horso is worked six days out of tho week, givo tho mash tho night beforo ho is to linvo a day's rest, ltepoat this onco a week through tho winter. Many horsos aro benefitod by giving them from two to four quarts of dry wheat bran dnily, dividing it into two feeds nnd giving it with tho grain morning and night. This hns n ten dency to prevent constipation and givo tho coat a bright, glossy uppearauco. Somo horses will thrive on six quarts of oats nnd four quarts of bran daily, than upon eight qunrts ot oats without tho bran. Quinco cuttings may bo taken now and troated in tho 6amo way as currants. Cut this year's wood, nearly back to tho old growth, and select only thrifty cut tings from thrifty limbs, ns thoy will mnko moro hardy bushes. Whilo moro cuttings may tnko root if not cut as far back ns to tho old wood, yot they will riot bo as hardy, and a loss number will livo through Urn ensuing year. Tho high price of quinces and tho caso of growing them should encouiago fanners td put in more of them. They liko a moist soil and liberal manuring. THE MORAL POINT OF VIEW. While wo do not npprovo tho common uso of tobacco, bops and barley, nor tho manufacture of corn, rye nnd wheat into whisky and apples into spirits and grapes into wine and brandy, wo grow those articles for sale and nsk no questions. That there is a moral ques tion involved of great inportanco is not to bo denied and ninny n man would decline to produeo the articles named if he was to bo responsible for tie con sequences. He sells in ignorance of the coming uso and asothorueare possible, that nro legitimate nnd proper from tho mornl point of view ho is absolved by tho world from complicity with tho browcr, wino maker or distiller. The following paragraph bring tho matter homo to o cry producer. At a meeting of tho tobacco growers of tho Connecticut valley a man rose in tho audience and offered a roolution evidently not provided fr In the pro gramme, ''that tho uso of tobacco ought to bo encouraged in ths public schools." To say that the convention was "set back" by thN way of putting the ease is a mild statement of the situation. A dead silence endued, only broken bv the mover saying: "Why do you balk, gentlemen? If this is legitimate busi ness why not push it?" There were fathers llure with glowing sons in tho public schools, and they would look with anything lint approval on an attempt to start up u brink cigar trado among tliom by some enterprising agent. Tobacco was it good thing to mako nintiev with, but not juH the stuir for bo.VH to use, at least not their boys. Tliov did not puss the resolution. The writer, moralizing upon the fnct, cites an it.Mii of evidence that "lolmcro leads to stiMiur drinks ns naturally in wntor Hows down hill." "Jerry Mc.Vulov, the lefoimed rivir piiute, who lately died at his mission post in New York, hnd one or two down falls afttr he liegan u bitter life, nnd It wns not until he quit tobacco that lie could keep his temperance pledge.''
