PRESERVING BEETS.

The potatoe is remarkably protected from shr
yelling by its impervious skin, Or outside coat
ing; so much so, that while the skin remains en-
tire, it will retain its moisture probably fifty times
as long, in dry room, as if the skin was pared
off with knife. But with some valuable roots
there is no such protection, and this is especial
Iy the case with the beet, which dries rapidly on
exposure to dry air, and many find serious diff
Guilty to preserve their beets just right for winter
and spring use. Having been very successful,
my beets being now as fresh as when taken up
last autumn, perhaps the method may be useful

PLANTING POTATOES WITH CORN.

Experiments in Planting The advantages of
free admission of light, and free circulation of
all to the growth of plants, are in good degree
obvious to persons of any experience in agricul-
ture. So important are these influences to In
dian corn, that an advantage is known to result
fiom giving the widest space to rows running
north and south. This more readily admits the
light and heat of the sun, than rows running in
contrary direction. 1t has been suggested that
planting corn and potatoes in alternate rows, or
in alterations of two rows each, would give
greater aggregate product for given extent of
land, than if each crop was planted entirely by
itself Experiments relative 10 this point have
been made in Massachusetts for a few years past,
under the direction of the Plymouth county ag-
rcultural society, and the results, so far, ind-
cate considerable advantage in favor of the
mode of alternate planting. Mr., Nathan Whit
man, who received, for an experiment. Of this
kind made last season, a premium Of Sl5, plan
ted half an acre with corn alone; from this was
harvested 42 1915 bushels. Half an acre with
potatoes, from this was harvested 236 7-56 bush;
and half an acre in alternate rows Of corn and
potatoes; from this was harvested % 50-75 bush
els of corn and 20 40-56 bushels potatoes In
this experiment there appears to have been gain
in mixed planting, of ten bushels of corn TO the
acre, and twenty-sx bushels of potatoes. Some
experiments reported to this society in former
years, we believe, showed about the same results

IMPORTANT TO PORK RATsERs.

In conversation with Mr. Duffield, at his cele-
brated Pork and bacon factory in Cincinnati
short time since, he informed us that an impor-
tant change was taking place among some far
mers of that region, in their mode of raising hogs.
That there was an increasing demand in the Eas-
tern markets for Pork and Bacon from young
hogs, and of thinner quality than formerly; and
that farmers we're beginning to learn that, by Sc
lecting good thrifty breed, and managing them
properly, they can raise hogs of two hundred to
two hundred and fifty pounds weight at nine or
ten months old, and at saving of one-third to
one-halfthe expense over the old system of win
tering store hogs, and sluughtering them at eIgh-
teen or twenty months old. To practice this
system the pigs should come in winter or early
in spring, and special care must be taken TO have
them kept thriving during their whole lives, for
if they become stunted when young, it is impos-
sible to recover them in time for slaughtering till
next year.-Ohio Cultirdtor.

SOAKING SEED corn lN sALTPETRE.

SOAKING SEED CORN IN SALTPETRE.
Hart Musey, Esq.s of this village, took small
portion of corn with which he planted field,
soaked it in solution of salts of nitre, common
ly called saltpetre, and planted five rows with
the seed thus prepared. Now for the result
Tho five rows planted with corn prepared with
salpetre, yielded more than twenty-five rows
planted without any preparation. The five rows
were untouched by the worms, while the remain
der of the field suffered severely by their dep
relations. We should judge,-that not one
grain saturated with saltpetre was touched, while
almost every hill IN the adjoining row suffered
severely, No one who will examine the field
can doubt the efficacy of the preparation. He
will be astonished at the striking difference be-
tween the five rows and the remainder of the
field.
For three yeers we have published from time
to time experiments and statements showing the
value of the saltpetrc soak for corn and other
seeds, and yet probably not one-tenth of our
readers use this or any other soak For several
gratifying results. None of it has ever been
touched by the grub, against which we, there
fore, regard the saltpetre as protection, and it
grows with rapdity that shames the sluggish
ness of grass and weeds. We planted some
corn last year on the 9th of May, soaked as usu-
al, and in Just twenty y-eight days stood twenty
Two inches background rich but not manured
this year. A pound of saltpetre in enough wa
ter to cover bushel Of corn, is about the pro-
portion.-Louisviue Journal. (Say 1 lb. of

Old lion heart! how light the SHOWS
OF ages rest upon thy head;
While, lar and wide, the fercest foes
Are numbered with the silent dead!
Within thy manly bosom leaps
The liie's blood as in the days Of old,
When sank the slain in crimson heaps
BY Catahooche's waves of gold.
The battle sword, unsheathed in wrath
Where temples brood and eagles moult,
Flashed on the red mans blasted path
Like the avengers thunderbolt;
By ambuscades and sylvan bowers,
From rank to rank its terrors flew,
Till, streaming from the land of flowers,
1t drank the blood of Waterloo
More precious than the sceptre found
Amid the grim old Roderic's dust,
In friendships hands, with garland's crowned
1t rests, nations sacred trust;
And when it CLEANS in triumph where
The island queen her empire sways,
Let the bold England Knight beware
The conqueTor's steel of other days
Man of the Hermitage! live on,
To bless the land, and crown thy fame,
Till, like second Washington,
The nation wakes to shout thy name;
Live on, amid earth's lairest bowers,
An oracle of truth and love,
And find, at last, mid blooming flowers,
Apathway to thy rest above

1t was bright day in Spring, that two gentle
men walked into one of the most fashionable
stores in the city of C; and, loungng on
settee, continued in earnest conversation, so ear
nest indeed, that they marked not the entrance
of lady-ior such her air and men betokened
her, though her dress indicated poverty, and it
was not until she turned, that the younger of the
two exclaimed:
"Pshaw, Leonard, there is face which, in my
eye, possesses more beauty than all the sunny
landscapes and bright eyes Of Italy, about which
you rave. would rather catch glance of that
sweet eye, than gaze on Venice, Rome, or all
the classic spots on the globe" And perhaps
his companion thought so too, for a deep blush
mounted to his brow, and he gazed with fixed ad-
miration on the unconscious. girl as she made
her purchases, little dreaming that she was the
object of such attention.
"Do you know her, August" exclaimed Mr..
Grey, as she left the store. 81 once saw face
