THE POTATO ROT.

Messrs. Editors-I have noticed par
agraphs in your paper recently with ref
erence 10 the Potato Rot. Although a
stranger here, would simply ask to re-
cord my experience in the matter. and
hope that others may be induced to do
the same, as This mode may lead and bring
out suggestions that may result in the
perfecting of a sure remedy against this
widespread evil.
In the last years planting, after the
young plant was just out of the ground.
| scattered a small handful of common
plaster over each hill, as mere matter
of experiment. To my utter astonish-
ment, when | came to secure the crop,
in the Fall, had an unusual quantity oil
fine sound potatoes and that, too, when
my neighbors left large fields uncared for,
as not worth the digging. Suffice it to
say, my potatoes are sound until this day,
at least were so when l left home a
month since. If were TO plant again,
would put the plaster in the ground
with the seed, as we'll as on the young
plant. Let some one try the experiment.
and report progress.
The potatoes were of the Mercer kind.

LAUGHABLE NoTIcE.-We are indebted
to the Warrenton IN. c. News for the
for the following advertisement, which
was posted up in a tavern in Newbern.
while the Legislature was IN session at
that place. Mine host, it seems, was an
honest well meaning fellow, who had
conceived an idea that the members were
the very salt of the earth, and had lis
tened to the complaints of certain OF
them, relative to the doings of few
spreeing characters, who did not belong
to their fraternity. Here is the notice
which he posted up in the most conspic-
uous places about the house:
"Look here!-The following rules of
order will hereafter be observed in this
hotel: Members of the Assembly will
go the table first and the gentleman after
wards"
After reading it over he did not exact
ly like it. 1t didn't say anything about
rowdies and blackguards; so to caution
them particularly he added: "Nota Bena.
Kowdies and blackguards will please not
mix with the members, as it is hard to
tell one from another"

SKILL IN FARMING.-Skill adds more
to the profit of farming than hard work
In the article of butter for instance, the
same outlay is required. or nearly the
same, to make hundred pounds of poor
butter as would be required to make a
hundred pounds of that which is good.
But, when the two articles are marketed
there may be five or six dollars of clear
extra profit in the pocket of the skillful
dairyman. The importance of scientific
knowledge is realized by those who have
found such benefits as is noted above in
nearly every department of their labor.

NIO6eSty.

Is said to be the mark Of genius. We
shall not gainsay it. But however inge-
NOUS or ingenious it may be to shrink
from the public gaze, man who under
takes to live by trade or manufactures
may starve by it. Many have starved,
or at least been sorely pinched by it.
Many man has bought large stock of
goods, and hired fine store, and then
wondered why his business did not pros
per- 1t was owing to this. People
now get their information by reading
newspapers. Whoever keeps himself
most before the public, in the newspa-
pers, gets the most business, doubles his
mouey oftenest, sc 1t can't be other
wise. The few who know this are for
tunate. You should spend as much in
advertising as rent.

.Giye Him my Love-"

1 thank thee, Susan, fol thy love!
Blest word-its price all gold above;
Sweet to the soul as chime of bell,
AT evening hour,
Or moonlight in some fairy dell,
Each scent Of flower.
All, without love the world would be
Most dark and drear, nor least to thee!
Each joyous singing-bird would tril
A note of woe,
Each star grow dim. and rough and chill
Each zephyr blow.
With love, world all bright is this,
Oh, precious boonl Oh, heaven OF Bliss
Communion sweet of kindred hearts!
For this will 1
Bless life; and oh, when love departs,
Then let me die.
Dear Susan, may thy budding love
A Plant of bliss perennial prove;
Its smile and tears, as sun and shower,
Be freely given,
T it doth bloom perfect flower,
A type of Heaven!

PREPARING LAND FOR A CROP

PREPARING LAND FOR A CROP.
A farmer has a field of clayey loan,
which requires a weeks work at least to
prepare for corn, oats, or barley. Now
how ought he to proceed?
1t is not uncommon to see such lots
turned over, and the furrow-slice lett day
after day, to dry in the sun, without the
least attention till the blowing OF the
whole field is completed.
Well, what better could he do?
Reduce what he has plowed to fine
filth while it is moist and easily crumbles,
not leaving it to lie one day before be
puts on the harrow or the drag A
small share of labor at this time will do
twice as much to pulverize the soil, a S
when it is hardened like an unburnt
brick.
What. stop the pillow before finishing
the field? Farmers that drive ahead
don't do so.
That is they drive one day ahead and
leave their work two days behind. But
let me ask what is the use of blowing
land.
The use? why, to put the ground in Or
der--you could not expect crop with
out it.
Neither ought we to expect more than
half crop whenit is only half pulverized'
If we pillow eight inches deep, and one
half of this soil is in hard clOds, how
much better is clod on a field than
stone?

THICK SOWING VS., THIN SOWING

THICK SOWING VS., THIN SUWINU
Thick sowing consumes more seed.
Thin sowing less. Thick sowing gives
a great number of single stalks. Thin
sowing gives multitude of stalks on
single seed. Thin sowing gives per-
feet stalk of head. In thick sowing the
number is increased at the expense OF per-
lection, for there are too many mouths
feeding in small space at one point.
