From the Ohio Cultivator.
Culture Of Potatoes Use Of Straw.

Ma. BATEHAM:-lt is common, through
Ohio, to thrash the crop of wheat in the field
where it grows, and to leave the straw in
a shapelsss pile to waste--waste, because it
soon becomes unfit for food: and as it slowly
rots, much Of it flies off in the air. and thus
makes but little manure, and that little weak
and almost worthless. have been in the
practice oftaking this straw, and after drop
ping potatoes (cut, moistcned, and rolled 10
ilmeI over the ground--and il is but little
difference whether the ground is plowed or
not--I have tried both ways, but perhaps not
enough to decide which is best; but knaw
both are good-then cover the potatoes, 6 or
7inches thick with straw; and there is gen.
orally but little else to do but to gather and
use them, as they neither want or admit of
cultivation, exsept a few large wecds, that
can be easily pulled up. This mode have
found good way to use waste, unrotted
straw, stalks, SO. Itrequires but lutte labor,
andI have found it to produce better crop
than the old laborious way. The potatoes
are slso,of good quality, and are remarkably
easy- harvested, and the ground is left In first
fate order for any succeeding crop. 30

Prospects Of the Wool Market.

We are not able at present to give any
more definite answer to inquiries respecting
the prospects Of the prices OF wool, than is
contained in the following extract from late
Philadelphia Commercial List:
'WooL.-As the time for sheep shearing is
now approaching, we have taken some pains
to ascertain the opinions Of dealers, and
others acquainted with the subject, as to the
prospects Of wool for the coming season.
From the increased consumption Of the last
vear. and the expectation offully five thousand
bales of native wool to Europe, it was appre-
hended the stock might be exhausted before a
new supply could be furnished from the COM
ing crop. This feeling has now entirely
ceased, for, although the stock in this and the
eastern market is small. as is usual at this
period Of the year, it is still sufficient for the
wants of manufacturers, most Of whom have
enough to keep them employed till The new
crop comes in.
eThe question is now conclusively settled,
the production of wool has become SO
great in this country. that we shall have con-
siderable surplus for expectation; and hence
the price of the whole clip will. in great
measure, be regulated by its value in foreign
markets; ami we believe, from the best data we
have been able to obtain, that most ofthe wool
which has been shipped during the past sea-
son, has not produced any profit to the ship
per, but, on the eontray, a loss. We, there
fore, think that prices will rule somewhat
lower in this market during the coming year
than during the past. THIS seems to be the
general opinion Of intelligent merchants and
others, who have examined the subject
Adviees by the last steamer, state that trade in
the Eng lish manufacturing districts was less
active than it had been for many previous
months, which serves to confirm this opinion.
The working quality OF American wool has
proved very satisfactory to manufacturers in
England. and is highly priced, but we have
heard many complaints of bad washing, and
the careless manner in which it is graded and
put up. More attention must be paid by the
growers and receivers ofwoel. to these par
tculars, in order to insure ready sale at the
highest prices. As the shearlng season pro-
gresses, we will endeavor to give our country
friends some correct information on this sub
ject, as well as other particulars respecting
this very important staple:
sOur market has been quite inactive during
the past week. Most of the manufacturers
have supplies on hand, and those wanting
wool, purchase only in small quantities, to
meet their immediate wants..

Remarks on Cooking Vegetables.

There is nothing in which the difference
between an elegant and an ordinary table is
more perceptlble, than in the dressing Of veg
etables. The articles may be equally fine as
to quality when brought from the garden OF
the market, but their look and taste when on
the table are very different, owing to the diff
ference in the manner Of cooking. Veget>
ables are in greatest perfection, when most
plenty; that is, in full season. By full sea-
son, do not mean those early days, when
luxury and avarice, force the vegetables; but
that time of the year in which by nature and
common culture they are most plenty and in
greatest perfection. Al genera rule. veg
etables of a medium size are preferred to the
largest or the smallest. They are most tens
der, juicy, and full Of favor, just before they
are full grown. To boil them in soft water
will preserve the color best of such as are
green; if you have only hard water, put to it
a teaspoon.full of salaratus. This branch of
cookery requires the most vigiant attention.
If vegetables are minute or two too long
over the fire, they lose all their beauty and
flavor.
GREEN PEAs.-Put your sauce pan on the
fire full of water; when it boils, put the peas
in, with table spoonful of salt, let them
boil till they are done: that is, from twenty
to thirty minutes, according to their age; then
drain them in colander, put them in deep
dish and pour melted butter over them.
As young chickens and peas usually make
their appearance at the same time, will here
give directions for making one Of the most
delicate soups that can be made: Take the
trimmings of the chickens, which consist OF
the giblets neck and feet: put them in soup
pot with little salt: shell the peas putting
The youngest aside, land the Oldest in the soup:
boil the youngest alone, and when you put
some chopt parsley, onion, sprig Of thyme
piece of butter the size of walnut, rubbed in
-four, put the young peas In; toast some
bread, cut in sippits," lay them in the tureen,
pour half pint of cream over it, dish the
soup, and send to table. This is delicious
soup within the reach of almost every one.
once heard gentleman observe after eating
it, he wished his throat mile long, and eve-
ry inch palate! E,
RHuBARD.-PIepare the rhubarb in this
way; peel and cut in small pieces, give it a
boil up, in sauspan, sweeten with moist
sugar, cover with a good short crust, bake
for half an hour in rather hot oven. sift
sugar over and serve cold.
