prominent eyes only, you will get better

experiment several times, and always get the
same result. ] consider FIVE single eyes (as
they are caled) the proper seed for hill, and
would put the rows three aud a half feet "a

When the whole or cut potatoes are planted.
the large or prominent one takes the lead.
and will produce good size tubers if no
others put out; but if the season is IA

eyes will throw out stalks which much retard
the growth of the Others and only produce

the season should prove unfavorabe. too dTy)
the product of the small stock would not be
worth gathering. prefer potatoes being cut

containing large number of eyes should be
cut in several pieces, in order TO have as equal

plant dozen kinds Of corn, or a whole cal

twenty or thirty stalks :! In one case, | am

BE well satisfied before you give credit,
that those to whom you give it are safe men
to be trusted. Sell your goods at a small

all men, and they will repose confidence in

The possession of great wealth may be al
most envied, when we see, as in the instance
mentioned below, which we copy from the
Boston Daily Advertiser, to what beneCcepr
uses it may be applied
About the middle of she last month. Baron
James de Rothschild made known to the au-
thorities of the City of Paris that he had de-
voted S5.000000 to the purchase of grain
and -four for The supply of Paris. The grain
and flour to be purchased in foreign markets
OF Europe aud America. and sold at the Pa
ria market at the current prices. If thesop.

there IS profit it is TO be converted into
bread bonuses TO be distributed TO needy
families in the capital. A proposition 50
| generous could not fail to be received with
favor. and the thanks of the Civ Council
have been given TO NJ. de RothschiId. The
Journal DIES Debats adds TO this account A:
The population OF Paris may preserve the
calmness and confidence which they have
hitherto felt Thanks 10 the efforts of com
tnerce and the security enjoyed, TO the wise
measures OF the administration and the mu-
nIcipai council, which has maintained pru-
dent reserve, avoiding an interference with
the supplies, the prices Of food are lower in
Paris than they are in many places and the
reserves are considerable. There exists nj
this moment, either in the hands of the
bankers, in public or private stores. $50 or
0,000,0 900 bags of -four, forming supply
double that ordinarily required by the ad-
ininistraiion. Paris consumes 1000 bags
daily. There is therefore at this moment
sufficient supply for eight days. The gcuer,
Gus operation of NJ. de Rothschild will ado
enough for twenty-five or thirty days longer.
Paris is then provisioned independently OF
the daily arrivals at ST Nicholas, at the foot
Of the Louvre. which every body sees, for
more Than three months Such state Of
things is OF a nature to encourage the most
timid minds. and the good sense of the peo-
pie. cOnhding in the government makes them
Of this opinion. Their confidence proves
the supply superabundant.
