To THE LADIES /!

EF ever, in the~great race of mankind, there
z has been one assiduously devoted to the
interests and comfort of the fair sex, it has
been myself. Indeed, have been deeply af-
fected, atseeing the heavy burdens and in
convenience devovng upon them in discharg-
ing their domestic concerns. To relieve them
of those burdens has been an object near my
hearts; and am happy be able to announce
to you, that through my unceasing efforts
have been fortunate enough to present you
with an article that will tend greatly to di-
mnish the extreme labor in cleansing your
wearing apparel Washing clothes, | have
observed in my own family. is the most burden
some and wearisome of all other duties. How
often have seen those upoA whom this duty
falls, with smoke-smitten ewes, standing at the
washing tub strainiug their nerves and ex-
hausting their strength, in rubbing clothes,
But thanks be to fortune, bring you the glad
tldings, that hereafter yoW mag mare no trouble
IN cleansing yotr apparel, if you ,ciN use The
SOAP made and prepared By me. This soap,
as you will perceived by the certificates be-
low, has been sufficiently tried. ana found to be
one of the greatest labor saving articles ever
offered to the fair.
In offering this remedy, fatter myself of
having fulfilled duty due to you Up, then,
thou slumbering husband procure some of
this soap without delay for thy better half; &
my word for it, she will love OF the more, the
oftener you buy.

Soak the clothes to be cleansed the evening
before in tub ofwater. Next morning put
the kettel over the fire full of as much clean
water as will boil the clothes-When warm
chip the soap into it, and stir it with wooden
paddle until it is Observation-Disclosures your clothes
out of the tub into the kettle. and let it boil
two ho'trs-'Then have tub Of clean waru,
water, and put the clothes out of the kettle
into it-Wash them until you get the most of
the brine ont of it-Then repeat the rinsing
in clean water until the soap is perfectly out,

do not require SO much boiling. unless very
much disordered

THE POTATO.

Ar Editor, 1t is, perhaps. not ehner-
lallv known to the subscribers of the Far
iners' Cabinet, that in the potato there
are two parts, which if separated and
planted at the same tire. enc will pro-
tuce tubers fit for the table eight or ten
DAYS earlier than the other This fact
has fal EN- under my own observation.
and is the plan now pnrsue in ordes to
obtain an early supply for my table, fine
and very mealy. The apex or snail end
of the potato. which is generally full Of
eyes. is that part that produces the ear
liest-the middle or body OF the potato
produces later, and always large ones.-
, The butt or navel endais worthless. ex-
cept fer feeding stock, md planted.
produces very different small ones, and
often none at all, the eyes, if any, being
imperiectiy formed. The potato being
cut two weeks before planted, and spread
on a floor. that the wounds may heal,
separating the small emf irnm the mid
die. then cutting off the navel or butt,
the body or middle of the patato is then
tdivided into two pieces lengthwise, ia
king care to have always the largest and
finest selected, being convinced that if
frone but large potatoes are planted, large
ones will be again produced-small
! things produce small things again, and
therefore no small potatoes should be
planted: this practice is too prevalent,
and may account for the many varieties
and small potatoes met with in our mar
kets. Who could not prefer IA large
mealy potato TO small one. that will
take hours to boil soft. and then may on
Iy be fit to feed the cattle with?
For several years past have adopted
the plan Of putting potatoes into the
ground late in the fall, covering them
with manure. sometimes with tanners
waste bark, and always have succeeded
in raising fine early crop. Last fall
/ had taken up some as;fne. ami large
! Mercer potatoes as any one could wish |:
they were covered with tan six inches
thick the proceeding fall; many weighed
sixteen ounces. No particular care or
attention was bestowed upon them
through the summer, the tan not permit
ting any weeds to trouble them, or to
draw out the nourishment from the earth,
they had therefore all the benefit Of the
soil, kept moist and clean by the tan, for
tan will keep the ground moist and clean,
and in an improved state in the driest
season. have found the great advan-
tage Of it to nv asparagus and strawber-
ny beds, which are annually covered witt
lit.
The potato consider so valuable and
indispensable vegetable, and having
never seen suggestion in print of separ
ating the potato and planting each by it.
self, that ! have been induced to seud
you this imperfect and hastily drawn up
co nmunlcation. Perhaps you may think
it worthy a place in the Farmers Cabi-
net, and if so. should be pleased to hear
that some gifts patrons will! try the ex-
pertinent of planting separately each
part of the tuber, believing that the po
tato may be much proveiebya due re-
gard to the above suggestions.

TERRIBLE LOSS OF~IIFE.

DeSt'Wctsre Fire IN Cincinnati. BY
S4he Western mail last evening, we recei-
we'd slips from the several newspapers in
CINCINNATI, dated on Sunday morning,
February 26, giving an account of de-
splorable-fire ln that city on the afternoon
previous. About O'Clock, the extern
ssive pork packing establishment of
Messrs. Pugh and Alvord, corner of Wal
- sst and Cana! streets. was discovered to
be on fire. 1t was filled with pork and
lard-the building was one hundred feet
front by sixty feet deep. The firemen
and citizens rushed to the rescue, and
short time after an explosion took place
which threw off the roof, and scattered
the walls in every direction. The ex-
plosion is supposed to have been caused
sty the generation OF gas from the burning
meat. The destruction of the house in
vowed the less ola number of lives-the
rooi and walls falling on the firemen and
instantly killing some and wounding
great number more. One account sup
poses twenty or thirty to-be- killed, aud
z Ir'na nifty to one hundred wounded.
rom the severai~sips, we make out the
following list of killed and wounded
