A NEW PorATo,-The following sin
sular origin of which is apparently new
species of potato. we take from the Maine
Cultivation. The origin ot,he potato now
used is lost in mystery, although The pop
ular tradition has long been that il sprung
from an excresence parts on plant in
South America. Does not the following
seem to corroborate this notion.
Year before last, Mr.. John Smiley, a
f;rmcr in The northern part of Augusta,
noticed upon some of The stalks of the gill
liaower, which The female menbers of
his family had cultivated in flower
pot, some protuberance, or excrescences
like warts abou, the size of peas. They
appeared preiectIy y formed and living sub
stances, resembling The seeds that project
from The stalk of that hulbous flower
known as the tiger lily. Every body is
acquainted with tue sIlilower, as a very
common annual plant resembling the pink
in size aud flower. Curiosity led him 10
preserve these eXcrescences-they were
not the natural seeds-and plant them the
spring. One of his ueighbors
also took portion Of them and did the
same. Two or three came up and at
tanned maturity. The product was over
half a peck OF good sized and very hand
some potatoes! These were preserved
and planted The last spring. They grew
y, and The result was about three
bushels of Il new SORT Of real pnaIoes.-
The potato is of oblong from, smooth face,
mostly white. mixed occasionally with
purple. Mr.. IIu;cIinss, of The Augusta
House, has cooked some Of them and
pronounces them superior. They may be
a variety worth cultiyaiing. But the mvs
:ely in our mind is. that they should have

WINTER TREATMENT OF SToCK.-Cold

and in fine condition, 10 live on their flesh
until next grass? Has not the wet sum-
mer kept them in The ordinary or rather
low condition for them 10 start on the pc
rilous journey ihro' cold winler! Have
we shelters 10 protect their "skin and
bones" from the sleet and rain Of hard
season? Have we provendcr TO aid them
in keeping their bodily machinery in health
full action until spring! These are ques-
,ions which every farmer should ask him.

ahead little ''wiih bowels Of compassion

that a little care at proper lime will save
him from much unpleasant feeling a, sec
ing the sutiesings ofthose whom he should
protect, as well az perhaps his pocker from
a heavier draft than is now necessary Tor
him 10 comply with his duty. The mer-
cirul man is mercilu to his beast" and
some consideration is needed for our Cattle
and Sheep and Swine. With all The care
and attention which we are giving TO the
importation Of breeds of Stock that are to
he easily kept, we yet have to feed our
Stock. The Improvements Of other couu-
tries have moi yet made known any sort of
animal that lives on air and suushine-we
must find something solid lnr them to eat.
They neeh grain nr ronrs or grasses, and
and without one or The other they will moi
continue in thriving gcondilion-and surely
no farmer ought 10 wish for any thing a
bout his premises to be in any but thri-
wing state.
Ina,ieulion and neglect nfour Stock in
time of need will deprive US ofmany valua-
bIe considerations, while litile exer;ion
on our part will repay us with profit and
pleasureable feelings.
Young Stock should especially have our
wa,chful care-keep them in growing con-
ters, and they will amply repay us when
they are older. The secret Of attaining
size in Cattle consists in keeping them we'll
from their birth. Let any one who has
Durham Calves notice the rapid growth
while they are suclnss, compared with the
falling of when thev are wcaned, and he
can easily understand tie necessity for
food of proper quality for their support.
Durharns are the fastest growers of all
Cattle, where they gel an abundance. but
give them the ordinary country treatment,
aud they will show more bone than any
other Stock on our plantations.
Our sheep aud Hogs need less care, but
rye pastures are needed for ewes aud lambs,
and sows with young pigs should have
clean and well Uttered siyes, with protpc-
tion from cold raius, or they will soon de-
terorale. The usual practice with plan
ters is to keep more Stock than they cun
we'll take care Of hence all suffer and ma
ny die. while a less number would do well
