oThe farmers crop their living from their crops.
And each manshares the blessing of their sfares
The Germans, says paragraph in the New
York Post, have recently taken particular fancy
to raising potatoes The following is their meth
cd producing the greatest good for the great
est numbers
The potato is planted whole, without any prep
ara:ion, only allowing little more space than
usual.--When the plants have attained the
height of the hand, they a'e al o cleaned ard
hoed as usull. When, however, the time for
drawing up the earth a:ound tie n has arrived,
the following process is adopted instead The
green stalks are divided, and laid down by the
hand on the flat soil in the form of the spokos
ola wheel and covered with the neighboring
earth-the operation being readily performed by
placing the foot on the plant. Some weeks
later the leaves begin to push through the sol
when they are again laid down and covered with
four inches of earth. This is all the labor requir
ed, and occupies about the same time as the OF =
binary hoeing up pr, c,ss, but it produces six
times more fruit. The subterranean stalks a: e
covered with potatoes in the form of a wreath or
chaplet.

We take the following interesting paragraph
from the Mobile Tribune:
"Two gentlemen of our acquaintance, Of I'm

strange and unaccountablc conduct on the par

the bird was victorious. 1t suddenly caught the
snake by the head, ard flying with it to an old

fastening it on pointed splinter, Thus pin.

bird watched it for a moment with apparently
the utmost complacency, and then continued its
repast, devouring within ten or fifteen minutes
