EXPERIMENT WITH POTATOES

Mr.. TUcKER--I planted last spring,
three acres Of potatoes. One half Of the
ground was ploughed in the fall Of 1887,
and the other in the spring of le3e-the
whole clover pasture in 1887. The part
ploughod ia-.ho spring had sixty large
wagon loads of straw from one barn yard
put on and tur led we'll under the sod
that part pIoughed in the fall was well
narrowed and cultivated and then furrowed
shallow. and the seed dropped in drills. and
Is loads OF straw and sheep manure, taken
from the sheep sheds, put in the hills over
the potatoes. This piece was decidedly
better than the first mentioned, The
ground was naturally moist, and the exccs.
sive rams Of the springs washed and
and drowned the seed very bad, so as to
destroy more than a half acre, on part o.
which / planted on the 4th of July early
white beans, from which l harvested three
bushels of sound beans. Yet notwi,hstand
ing the bad season and rains, harvested
sevenJhundred and fifty-ive bushels Of po
toes, mostly pink eyes, the remainder ;
flesh colored, (rot the Sardinia,) which
l call long~keepers, from their being ;
better potatoe for summers use than th'
pink eye. But the object Of this commu
nication is TO give you the result Of m,

from the sea board, and generally to the
eastward of mountain ridges. Thus IN
France, the principal silk departments lie

/! is well known that the Chinese empire
possesses natural advantages for the silk
culture, superior TO those ofany oihes.,oan-
try wEerc this culture has vet been ex;cn-
svely pursued, and it is in the northern or
temperate portions Of China where the best
silk districts are found. A very warm eli.
mate produces an inferior quality of silx.--
Bengal, for example, where, owing perhaps
to the moisture associated with the heat,
the coccops are so weak and poor as 10
require thirty.fvc or thIrty-six pounds 10
yield one pound Of silk, Of quality inferior
to that produced by any other silk growing
country. Some Bengal silk worm eggs
having been lately brought home to France
by the frigate Boniie, Mr.. Boucher, who
has long been devoted to the silk trade,
observed a! meeting OF the Paris silk So
cieiy, that if very superior breed of worms
was required, this must not be sought in
Bengal, but in countries endowed with a
drier and more temperate climate, such for
example as that Of China, and especially
the more northern provinces Of that empire,
the silks Of which are Of a superior quality
10 those of the southern provinces.
Dr.. Emerson stated. in conclusion, that
he thought the natural facts referred to, sup.
ported by the evidence furnished by the ex-
tremely fine quality Of the silk made in va.
rious parts Of our country, afforded sufIi-
clent grounds to justify us in claiming for
the climate ofthe United States, superi.
orily over that of western Europe, for the
silk culture, and to rank our country with
China, which occupies a geographical posi-.
tion on the eastern portion of the Asiatic
continent, similar 10 that ofthe United States
in reference to the North American couti-
nert.

ON THE CULTIVATION OF SWEET
POTATOES.

Mr.. Edi.or.-In complying with your
request, | give you my practice in the cu'-
,iya,ion of 2o,a oes. 1t may contain some
errors, but being derived from experience
| am inclined to recommend IT..
High, sandy, or yellow soil is the best,
bo;h for roos and slips. Sips may how.
ever, be planted on moderately low land,
that is we'll drained. When slips are plant
ed on the latter, they are more watcry and
will no: keep so long as when planted on
high lands. On new lands, care should be
taken, if the leaves are not decayed, that
they should be burnt; but If they are ii
will do we'll either for roots or slips.
The best method of preparing land for
swee, potatoes, is by movable cow-pens.
1t saves the time of caring out manure, and
i, also yields greater return than any 9th.
er mode that has ever been practised.--
You should commence making your cow
pens just early enough 10 allow you tim:
10 90 over your land by the time you are
ready for planting. After you have finish.
ed, YOU will had that The land will b. come
hard and compact. Then mark of your
land into lines five feet apart, so as to have
twenty .onc beds 10 task or quarter acre.
Next run two furrows with the daggou
plough down each line. by which the sci
will become loose and mellow; and no"
bed up so as to finish BY the latter part o.
March, when the seed should be planted
about six inches apart. If you have no"
cowpcned your land,-compost, cottor
seed, roied marsh or sedse, and also mad
are excellent manures, if properly applied
You must cover these manures we'll, ant
give them time to rot in the land before
planting. Cotton seed, if 10 be applied II
proportion of one to two bushels 10 the bed
and covered early, so tina; it will have time
TO vegeta,e, is good for either slips o
roots.
Salt mud is tcst on high land ; il may
be used on other lands as the ma,urer 0
the roots. Marsh and sedgc, if applied il
proper quantities, when ro,ted, is also ex

If YOU plough the stubb!c in, will act as
powerful manure, when rotted. As 500,
as the potatoes are up, carefully pick ou
all the grass and weeds on the top OF the be-
so as not TO injure the roots Of the youu
plant. As soon as it begins to shoot OF

JOHNS ISLAND.

Remarks on the abore.--Few crops can
be of greater importance to our planters
than that of potaloes--but it is much 10 be
!amented that this crop seldom receives the
attention it demands. When properly cul.
tivated, very few acres ef this root will
feed whole plantation for five or Six months
in the year; and that 100 at so small an
expense of time an labor, in IFS cultivation,
as scarcely 10 be fell.
Under proper management, the planter
may seldom fail Of producing from eighty
to one hundred bushels Of sweet potatoes
to the acre; which amoun; is as plantation
food, equal 10 forty Or fifty bushels of corn.
This calculation, our friends Of the middle
districts seem never 10 have made; or if
ever they have made il, either blindness
20 their own interests, or some mismanagc-
ment. has caused them too little to consider
what is so obviously their interest.
"John's Island" seems 10 give the pre-
ference 10 The white heart potatoes with red
skins, over the "yellow hearts" or brim.
stones-affirming that they keep better, &c.
Upon this point, however, we differ from
him. From most planters we have heard
the decided preference given to the brim.
stones as being swceter and more deli.
cate potato, at the same time being equally
early, and capable Of being preserved
through the wintei.--EdH.
