PorAroEs.-As it is about time to begin to think
about planting, few remarks on this valuable plant
may not be inappcabc.
Potatoes were first found in America. There
are many and various kinds Of this root some pre-
fer one, some another kind but, all things consid,
cred, | give tina, kind, generally called the w
range Polato,' my decided preference because they
produce we'll, and are altogether the best for cult
waiting purposes. To raise good potatoes OF this
kind land in fact all other kinds) it is an important
requisite that they should be planted on rich land
or else shovel full or Two of manure should be
thrown into the hills when planted. usually plant
them about even with the surface at the ground,
planting ten or twelve bushels to the acre, some
times planting them in hills about four rows TO a
rod each way, with two potatoes in hill as large
as hens eggs or one large as goose egg at
other times in continued rows dropping potatoes as
large as hens eggs about foot apart do not think
it best to plant the very largest potatoes because
large one is more than is needed for hill /; and do
think so good plan to cut them as It is TO plant
smaller ones and moreover they will produce more
when planted whole than what they VIII when cut.
II is well to put little Gypsum, or Plaster OF Pa
rs on potatoes al The time OF planting, or alter the
shoots have got out oil the ground, or both About
the first of May consider as the best time to plant !;
hut month later or caller will answer.
Potatoes not only an excellent and indspen-
sable article in the eye Of good housewife; but
they also good for fattening cattle. To fatsen
cattle with POTATOES they should be given TO them at
least twice in twenty -four hours without water, as
they will fat faster without than with it. use a
machine TO cut potatoes for cattle and sheep; but if,
in giving them whole. an OK a COW should get
choked, it is easy to push it down into the stomach
or take it out it within your reach. To push il
down take flexible rod 4 or feet long, and tie a
rnd OF pork with little far on 1t, letting it project
over the end about half an inch by SO doing it will
not be apt pass by the potato, and it easily be
pushed into the stomach. II it should 60 hard, 1t
will become necessary to tse more force Tor if the
stick goes into the stomach there will be no danger
The same stick can be used when creature is
hoysn. A FARMER.
