'pendent in the Glasgow Co!trier, planted about 20 falls of potatoes ; the first four years I cut try pots,. toes in the ordinary way, taking as many tuts from the potatoe as could he got ; of . Course. :I had only ordinary crop like my neighbours.. li s t ltese hist six years l have had douhle the quantity of potato,. any person in the neighbourhood lied, on the taw* portion of land. Farmers, in vowel. take as many cuts from a potatoe as pinsiible, 'binkilg, probably, that the more cuts they .have front a potato., the more ground they plant, and of course they will rear their yutstoes the cheaper. In this, however, the farmer s greatly mistaken ; for ordinary potato. thaws seldom, at an average, yield more than seven or eight potames: this is owing principally to the number of cuts . takgn from the seed potatoe; for it cannot be expected that one single potato* can have juice and substance sufficient to swinish five or sit • shows, or that they can be as fruitful es if.there had - been only one or two of them. Let the platter take . only one top cut, or "two, at most, audit he does not find his account in it, I am greatly mistaken ; for, upon one sere of ground planted in this manner, I am morally conscious, that he will raise more tall tatnes than upon three acres plinted from top and roots cut promiscuously. If any one chooses to analyse a potatoe about the season when they aid planted, he will find the roots cut dry and perched whilst the top cuts are moist and juicy; this dims.- stance will show so far, that. I am 'right. Another thing to be observed, is this, that no person ought to plant a cut from a plain eyed potatoe, for the hollow eyed ones will yield ten for one. Another circuit - Stance still; which may exemplify my assertions, is this—in two or three pretty long rows of potatoes, the °Mirk% of top cuts alone, scarcely • shaw wa s to be found, that had not yielded forty or fifty pa. talon; and a single shaw in the middle of one or the Vows, 'yielded no fewer than 133 yotstoes, which were dug and counted before witnesses. Some 'may say,. that, by my plan, the greatest part of every potatov.is lost ; but let them consider, thetas there are few farmers but have c ows tad pigs, as few cows or pigs are so nice aloe refuse potatoes, and as • potatoes are as cheap food as can be given to cattle, they will, instead of losers, be very great gainers; Toesdry afternoon, as Mr. Lezenby, of W 4 , 00 .- street, Cheapsidr, was retosnitsg home from INisneby heath in a pee hares chaise, hi was accidentally turned over near Vauxhall turnpike; the voirlebse coming in contact with a gentlemen's cart, Mr. L: was thrown into the road, by which bit are ss,.s' broke, and be was otherwise Mocit bruised.
