Briggs says that he has always been successful in raising potatoes on the following plau, viz Put them into the ground as us ual except with only about two inches of dirt over "them. Then, put on straw to the depth of six to eight inches. They need no further attention whatever until you come to gather them, which is done with much less trouble than is usual.

It is coming to be better under stood that success in farming de pends far more upon how much one gets per acre than upon the number of acres he cultivates. If a man's time, teams, seed, implements, etc., arc worth or cost $500 a year to cul tivate 50 acres, and the crops pro duced, whatever they may be, arc equivalent to 12 bushels of wheat per acre, worth on an average $1 per bushel, he has just $100 lett for in terest of the land, taxes, etc. If the crops equal 15 bushels per acre, he has $250 surplus for land, etc. If they arc equal to 20 bushels of wheat per acre, he has $500 surplus; it 25 bushels per acre he has 750. The same rule holds good for 100 acres, or any other area. The great ques tion then is how to increase the yield per acre, with only the same cost for labor, teams, implements, and seed. Scud 15 cents to Orange Judd Company, N. Y., or inquire of your news dealer for the April number of the American Agriculturist. - M. Ebcl says that Jos. Springer recently lost three head of young cattle, by the same disease that took oil' so many last fall.

That fel low ought to have been iu better business. Saint Edward, 3Iay 2d, 1879. Editor Journal: The open Temple of the Tionecr Temple of Honor, held at the new llaptist Church last night, was the most enjoyable affair that has taken place in this locality for somo time. At an early hour iu the evening all the available fpace in the large room was taken up by visitors, Templers and their paraphernalia. 1 will not attempt to go into details but will confine myself to the main features and condense as much as possible. After prayer by Alonzo Brooks the entertainment of the evening was for mally opened with vocal and instru mental music by 3Ir. II. L. and Miss Birdie Brooks, followed with a speech by W. A. Hosford, in which with other things he furnished statistical proof that sixty thousand men annually fill drunk ard graves in the United States, and live hundred thousand in the civilized world. Several lively tunes were played on the two organs by 3Irs. E. A. Taylor and her sister Miss Emma Pardee, with violin accompaniment by 3Iessrs. Nel son, Saxton, Warren and Hoot Long. The grand installation of officers was very impressive, the retiring officers taking their places with the other mem bers, and the newly -installed taking their respective places in the Temple. 31. J. Thompson, our new W. C, in an appropriate speech explained the origin and object of the Temple of Honor, and made a strong appeal to all present to assist iu the cauee of temperance. Several songs were sung by II. L. Brooks and wife, II. B. Kessler and wife, with organ accompaniment by 31iss Birdie Brooks. By invitation of our W. C, short, vol unteer speeches were made by 3lrs. A. Brooks, W. W. Tolman, Alonzo drooks, Kev. A. S. Fonda, II. B. Kessler, Dr. Saxton, d. K. Smith and others. Although the vast crowd were disap pointed by the non-arrival of A. II. dowen, Grand Worthy Templer of the State of Nebraska, all agreed that they had spent au agreeable and profitable e cning. 1 will close by giving a list of tho newly-elected officers: AV. C, 31.
