How to Raise Good Potatoes.

My object In writing, at this time, is 10
give you my method of growing potatoes
free from the rot | have practised ii two
seasons with entire success, and have now
SIX hundred bushels of fine Mercer pota-
toes in my cellar and all free from the
disease.
My method is. to plow the ground late
In the fall or early in the spring, harrow
it smoothly before planting time. then haul
out fifteen tons rotted manure, spread it
broadcast, then take two horses and plow,
and back up two full furrows, the furrows
just meeting In the backing; leave strip
one foot wide, and back up two more;
and so continue till you have completed
the lot. Then turn about and split these
double burrows open with a single furrow
then commence dropping your potatoes
(pieces of cut potatoes, containing al least
four eyes) in furrow six inches apart
After the lot is dropped, take your horses
and plow, and throw two good frrow 5,
lone round of the team to row. Just
meeting on the top. dress of the top,
clearing the row of stones, clods, &c: then
sow broadcast five bushels common salt
over the ground Immediately after planting;
cultivate well MI the plants are IN blossom,
and you VIII have good crop.

EyergreenS for Sheep.

Evergreens are not only excellent food
for sheep, which may often be used to
considerable extent as matter of econo-
my, but they are very wholesome as
green food when sheep are kept long on
dry fodder. Sometimes evergreens may
be used as matter of necessity, when hay
is scarce, and save animals from great suf-
fering and starvation, which occasionally
occur from unusually long and cold win
tiers. Colds and other diseases in sheep
haze been cured by the use of eyergreens-
Pines of different kinds are among the
best evergreens for sheep; hemlock Is also
excellent; spruce and ir, if not equally
good, are very useful Sheep are fond of
browse of almost every description They
bear with difficulty long confinement to
dry fodder, and they should be relieved by
the use of roots, eyergreens, or browse; all
of which they eat with great eagerness.

Value of Root Crops.

For the last three years | have turned
my attention to raising parsnips. ruta ba-
gas. and the sugar beet, as a field crop
The parsnip should be planted as early in
April as the ground will admit. II has no
enemy that will seriously injure it, yields
well, 900 bushels per cre,) and for win
ter hogs, is worth twice as much as the
ruta baga or sugar beet.
The ruta baga, with me. has become an
uncertain crop on account, of the depreds-
tons of the turnip flea. The sugar beet
is productive root and viii pay well for
persons engaged in the production of win
ter milk, but under other circumstances,
| doubt the economy of entering largely
into It's cultivation. If fattening cattle or
hogs be the object, Indian corn viii afford
more feed from a given quantity OF ground +,
provided it is as richly manured.

That gentleman (or lady, as the case
may be.) must be venerable for his age,
and worthy of al confidence for his vera
city. There has been no time since the
confusion of tongues on the plain of Shi-
mar, in which this remarkable parsonage

OF, or conceived. He cody affirms, notc,
that provisions are dearer than they were
ever known TO be before-a fact for which
he accounts from another fact, namely,
that there are more dogs about nowadays,
especially mad dogs, than were ever per-
mitted to live IN any one age since the
days of his renowned ancestor, who -four
ished about century anterior to the exo-
dus of the children of Israel. | am my
self ready to testify on oath, If necessary,
that this old gentleman has declared, every
year for near fifty years-nay, sometimes
twice or thrice In year-that the money
market was never before SO tight as at the
present moment; and he prophesies that
money viii never be any easier, till the
legislature repeals the usury laws.

An American Statesman.

ofic. He loves his country-his tchole
country. He is jealous of her honor, and
proud of her flame. In the hour of her
prosperity he rejoices; in the hour of her
peril, he flies to her rescue. He loves the
glorious Union, and seeks to strengthen
Its bonds. He frowns upon every attempt,
in whatever quarter originating, to breath
iealousies and discord among the members
of our national family. He knows no
east nor west, nor north nor south, only as
being parts of one grand, united, insepera-
Bile whole. Such men have lived IN this
