To MULTIPLY The POTATO CRoP.-The
Gardeners Chronicle says the potato may be
multiplied a hundred fold. Any plausible way
of increasing the amount of this valuable as
culent is deserving attention There is no
department OF agriculture, in fact no depart
ment of any art or science more nearly allied
to health and happiness than the proper cult
walton of roots and fruits as human food. We
quote as follows:
1t appears not to be generally known that
the potato pant may be propagated more
abundantly and with greater ease than most
other plants. The shoots produce roots natur-
al at every joint below the ground when plau-
ted in the usual way. TO plant for propaga-
ton, a small piece Of ground will be sufficient
as the tubers may be placed close together.
When shoots have grown an inch or two above
the surface Of the earth, the tops may be cut
' off below the first jointed root and planted two
or three inches apart, in fine sandy earth in
D the course of a week or ten days they will be
well rooted plants, and plantedat the distance
y that potatoes are generally planted will pro
: duce a crop of tubers in eight, ten or twelve
: weeks, (arcording to the kindD equal TO tha'
h produced from tubers and when propagatet
in this manner, plants mty be obtained il
q great quantities.
lie A more simple way viii be to place the to-
bers Ill a similar manner as before stated an(
when the shoots have grown to the length Q
two or three inches above the soil, to take u
the tubers and strip off the shoots from them
there will be six or more beautifully rooteu
plants just in order for finll planting; replac
the tubers as before, which may be repeate
&C. at east -four times, and this will produce suf
IT, cient plants from four or five tubers, Of moe
F. crate size, to plant a rod of ground at di
lance that tubers are usually planted. Later;
shoots taken from a growing crop, treated Iik
, cuttings of other plants, and afterwards tran
o planted. will also produce a crop of tube
ire equalin quantity 20 that produccdby the parel
of pant.

ACRICULTURAL.

A STRIKING CALcULATIoN.-The recent
Census Report sets down the farm lands in
the United States at 118.457,622 acres of
improved, and 184, 12l384 acres of unim.
proved-total 3O3 .078,970 acres worth in
the average $40 per acre. The average val
ne of the farm lands Of Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New York, New jersey
and Pennsylvania, is $50 per acre, (New
jersey highest, Pennsylvania lowest) while
Milne, New Hampshire and Vermont, aver
age about SIS per acre. We are rather
surprised to see the farm lands of North and
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Missis-
sippi and Tennessee valued in the average
below s. per acre.
Here is a striking illustration Of the supe
rior culture prevailing in the North, resulting
from agricultural science, the analysis Q fsoil:
and the patient and discriminating applica
ton Of manures. The Nothern soil is gene
rally hard, stubborn, stony and sterile
Their climate is severe one. Their season
shorter and more precarious. Their staple

Railroad Items

We have the great qualification OF report
ing that, with the means asked of Masor
county, which we feel the utmost confidence
will be granted, the resources and credit o
the Maysvile and Big Sandy Railroad Com
pany will enable the Boah TO prosecute thei
important work TO a speedy completion.
The Engineers are proceeding with energy in
locating the line, and it will be put under
contract in April, and will be in running or.
der in two years, and possibly earlier. The
cars certainly will be running in less thar
two years, if no Unforeseen obstruction
arise. s1
Within two years, according to every cal
cuiatiOn, we shall have direct railway com.
munication from Lexington TO Philadelphia
by which the passage will he easily aud safe.
ly made in 36 hours, and il may be in short.
er time still. The late action at Philadel.
phia, BY which the speedy construction OIL
the Hempffeld and the Marietta roads is
certainly secured. gives ds every guaranty
that this result will be brought about
by this action, everv link in The chain, re-
qulring aid, is provided for, except the link
from Muysyille 10 Springville, opposite
Portsmouth; and in regard to this link, we
are happy TO report, as We have done else
where in this paper, that other action (al-
ways taking il for grsnied, as we do. that
Mason county will subscribe $l00, 1000 to its
stock) has placed its SPEEDY construction out
Of doubt. We repeat, with all confidence and
sobfiety, that the Maysville snd Big Sandy
road at leastas far as Springville. will be in
operation intwo years, and that its exten,
sion to the mouth Of Big Sandy will be com
pleted as soon as the Virginia road can poss.
IDLY be brought 10 chat point. whether that
time be two years or longer. We shall assu..
redly connect with the Virginia central road
the very first moment, be that moment ear.
lier or later, il reaches Big Sandy. 'aea

TnE WRoLEsoMs RESTRAINT OF VEro,
Coy. McCeIland, Of Michigan, on the l4th
inst, previous TO his departure for Wash
ington, afforded the Michiganders pretty
substantial idea Of the old Hickory firmness,
in the shape Of ON Executive veto. The
Bank of Ann Harbor, which has been doing
business on State stock securities, wanted
anamendment to lis charter, which would
have all the effect Of legalizing suspension OF
specie payments. The bill 10 amend, as il
passed the legislative branches, gave the
bank twenty days grace in which 10 refuse
redemption, and then twenty days more, Of
ter such period of refusal, before the stock
securities could be sold for the means Of re-
demption, Alerthe lapse Of these "fotty
days and .iorty nights" then any two of the
State officers named, Treasurer, Auditor and
Attorney General, may, ifthey choose, If the
former condition is not complied with, take
action againslit as insolyent, and wind il
up. II :hey don't SO choose, then il goes on
with It's pa pef-mill. f,s's Al \.
