Raising Potatoes for seed.

Charge d Affairs, &C., from the Meth
erlands:-
SlR:-In reference to the seed of the
Potato, about which you honored me
with inquiries, they have never been pre-
served, as is believed, in sufficient uuan-
uty TO be a MARKETABLE article in this
country; in fact, they have been very rare
iy saved by farmers for their own use:
and to this may be attributed, in some
measure, our want Of new and good vari-
etles- The eager temper and impatient
habits of our people, their love of change.
and propensity to migrate from place to
place, produced in a great measure bv the
frequent and infinite division of estates
and nmpovcrishment of families, prevents
The adoption, in agricultural matters. of
means to ends which require years of pa
hent attention before these ends can be
consummated. Hence the destitution of
the country, since the establishment of
our independence, of fine orchards and
oi choice fruit, the possession of which,
under the most favorable circumstances.
requires years TO realize, and which. after
all, Is only to be had, with certainty and
abundance, by raising new varieties of
frult from the stones and seeds OF peach
es, apples, pears, &C., SO with the Po-
tato. The seed, as you well understand,
is to be from the Potato-ApPLE, growing
on the top of the plant. AS in the case
oi fruit, there is no security in this that
s'like will produce like" The product
from Potato seed is various in color. shape
and qualities, and some wears must e.
lapse before the best varieties can be es-
taolished and their qualities considered
permanent For this reason. no SEEDING
Potatoes should be discarded till aftrr tr;-
al OF the third generation, nor promis-
lng one Se sooner trusted. II is only ac-
ter the third year that full reliance can
be placed on the permanence of charac-
terIstcs as respects productiveness and
other qualities.
The characteristics to be sought in the
establishment of new variety are-Ist.
Moderate size, which am persuaded on
the whole, is most to be desired in ami
mails, fowls, vegetables, &c. I'd. Regu-
far shape; the eyes not deeply sunk
3D. Not bursting when boiled. 4th.
Dry or mealy when cooked. 5th. An a.
greesble taste 9th Early in maturity.
9Th Not 100 iuxuriant in the stems.-
9Th. Productive. As with fruit from
stone and secd,so there is no end to the va
rieties of shape, size, colors and qualities
to be derived from the seed of the same
Potatc-aPple. The roughness of the skin
generally indicates dryness, the watery or
waKy Potato being commonly smooth
skinned. Fifty seeding varieties. have
been gathered from spontaneous seedlings
40 a garden where only one kind of Po-
tato had been planted. There is no fact
in vegetable physiology better established
than that soil has powerful influence in
changing the color, shape and qualities of
the Potato no less than grain and TOBIAS.

nous RoHAN PoTATo, one of the hum
bugs which few years past served to a.
muse credulous public, so that it sold in
Philadelphia for slfor single potato,of a
quality waxyand coarse. In two generations
planted on stiff white oak land, n1anured,
it yielded very fine smooth, middle siz-
ed Potato, excellent for table use. 1t IS
clear, then, that every cnltivator should
raise Seeding Potatoes until ne establish
es variety suited to his soil, and one
which he may then expect to endure.
Nothing in the annals of American
Horticulture is better established than the
origin Of the "Mercer Potato" raised
from seed planted in Mercer county, and
regarded as one Of the best and most
popular varieties we have ever had.
There is no reason to believe that bet
ter Potatoes could be had from seed in
this country than iu Europe; nor is it
probable that they will ever be saved in
sufficient number to be on sale in the seed
stores. There is nothing more necessa-
ry than to gather the apple when ripe,
suparate the seed from the pulp, or per-
haps to express the watery particles, leav-
ing the seed in the residuum of the apple,
and to preserve them until time for plant
ing, which had better, m the frstinstance,
be in hot bed.

honor TO be your ob't serv't,

In woodland, marsh or bog,
That creep the ground or lly the air,
The funniest is the frog
The frog-the scientihckest
OF Natures handy work
The frog-that neither walks or runs,
But goes it with jerk.
With pants and coat ofbottle green,
And yellow fancy vest
He plunges into mud and mire,
All in his Sunday best;
When he sits down, he's staining up,
As Paddy 0'Kinn once said,
And for convenience sake he wears
His eyes on top Of his head.
You see him sitting on log,
Above the "nasty Deep"
You feel inclined to say, old chap,
Just "look before you leap"
You raise your cane to hit him
On his ugly looking mug,
And ere you get it half way up,
Adown he goes KER-cHuG!
He keeps about his native pond,
And ne'er goes on a spree,
Nor gets 'how-come-y you-so," for
Cold water chap is he.
For EARTHLY cares to get drunk
He's not the silly fool;
But, when they come, he gives jump
And browns them in the pool.

ME object of this establishment is
u TO supply want greatly felt by re-
spectacle travellers on our western high
ways-by residents. without family, Ia
ken sick-and by patients from the sur
rounding towns and country who resort
TO this place for relief from surgical and
other diseases. Such have often suffered
from the want Of the various comforts
and attentions so necessary and agreeable
TO the sick, and from careless and un-
faithful nurses; and been subjected TO
heavy and unreasonable charges.
lnvalids will here be provided with
constant, faithful and comfortable atten-
dance, snd at rate much below the nsu-
al charges.
While the care Of both physicians will
be extended to every variety of disease,
ii is intended by DIR. Speer, to give spe-
cial attention to
ALL SURGICAL DISEASES,
PARTICULARLY TO
DISEASES OF THE EYE.
TO these branches Of his profession
he has given large share of his atten-
ion for the last twenty-five years, and
he will continue TO devote to them the
experience acquired by constant prac-
lice during that time.
The Hotel for Invalids is not an exper7
imenL Its establishment is suggested
not only as necessary to supply an evil
dent want in this city, in the entire alb
sence of any special provision for the
sick. but is warranted also by the success
Of similar institutions at Cincinnati and
New Oreans--the former under the care
OF Drs. Taliaferro, Marshall and Strader
the latter under that of DR.. Stone.
The building selected for the purpose
is situated at the corner of Federal and
Robinson streets. in Allegheny city, ad-
joining the city Of Pittsburgh. II is
commodious and reomy, anl furnished
with all accommodations necessary for
the sick.
Applications for admission to be made
