Increasing the Yield of Potatoes. It is worth while for all farmers to know that a method has been discovered by which the produce of an acre of potatoes may be greatly increased. It consists in cutting off the stalks of the plants a couple of inches below the blossoms when the flowers appear. The difference in the yield is said to be enormous—as Bto 60. If the statement be true, a potatoe field of three acres would he worth LIOOO in any ordinary year. We can hardly take this down in its entirety, but we certainly think it would be worth while to try the experiment on a moderate scale. — Manning River News. Chignons.— Remarking on chignons, the Clunes Guardian says that the newest article used for padding is a football. This novelty is rapidly growing in favor, on account of its lightness, as the chignon may thereby be increased to any size without inconvenience to the wearer. Amusements. JJOYAL PRINCESS THEATRE.

Holloway's Ointment and Pills. —These admirable medicaments are adapted to the wants of all ages, ranks, and classes of the community. Ulcerations, bad legs, and enlargement of glands, should be first fomented with warm water, and then dressed with this Ointment. In a very few days it will display its cooling and curative powers over the diseased parts. When the complaint has become chronic, or has weakened the constitution, Holloway’s Pill’s should be taken, while his Ointment is used to free the whole body from any taints or foul humors. Both Ointment and Pills may be employed with the utmost confidence ; they contain no ingredients which can do the slighest harm, or cause any shock to the most nervous or delicate. 92
