The Potatoe,

Early lifting and storing OF potatoes is now
considered the better plan since the preva-
lence Of disease. They should be taken out
as soon as the haulm or tops are dry and sep
arated and put into small pits. 1t is difficult
to say why it It's that potatoes will not keep
in larre heaps Or pits. Fifteen or twenty
years ago, let the heaps be formed ever SO
large, not word Of complaint was heard. Is
it the mode OF pitting, or has change come
over the pc;atoe itself. 1t must be the lat
ter; then let Us suit our practice to the
change and make small pits, say 10 bushels
each We are much in favor Of the practice
of buryin potatoes in the fields or in yard
kept for tnat purpose. In all cases the pits
should be ventilated, for even a small pit will
generate heet, and fermentation may take
place if this is net attended to. Ventilators
should extend from the bottom of the pit up,
and project out foot or more alter the COW
ering is completed for the winter Our plan
for making ventlators is to take couple OF
pieces Of inch boar1 three inches wide and of
the desired length--say FIVE feet. Lay them
down on edge and tack pieces of lath three
inches long upoG them, ut intervals OF inch
es, as high as the potatoes will reach in the
pit; then box up tight. These can be kept
for 90 years, and one may be made in fifteen
minutes if materials are at hand. Place
them upright and pile the p)tatoes around
them. Oa dry land it Is an excellent plan
to sjrk the pit couple of feet and roof with
boards. In this case vcntilators may be in
serted in the gables. We have kept potatoes
in this wav in finer condition than by any
other mode, and pitted them a. less expense
Years ago, old farmers would not store po-
tatoe damp: it was fitted article in IT,
creed that dry day must be had eor diggin,'
and the POTATOES must lay there bask ng =
the scorching sunshine as long as possi~
then all hards must spring te and get
together before the dew fell. But this,
many other creeds, has lost .avor, and l. '.
the very reverse is the true phiiosoph "
that is, expose them as itte-as s.
time as possible, to the light and ar
latter mode certainly has the most RES

ralsing this crop is well nOwn-cftpn i''"

gathered, his wagon stood in the field, coy

able facts before them, We do not believe one
tenth part Of the tax payers Of the country
would consent to the annexation Of New
Mexico, coupled with the necessary and con-
tnued expenditure OF 50 much hard cash.
But, we are in for an indefinite series Of these
appropriations. We know of no decent or
plausible scheme Of backing out from our bar
gain. We have assumed the guardianship
and protection Of this people. We must
stand by our faith. We have made foolish
bargain, and we cannot well escape the PEN
atty of our folly.
We refer TO his subject again, at this time.
for the purpose Of putting our people on their
guard against any farther operations Of SIM
liar character. The mania for annexation is,
by no means, extinct, and no one knows how
soon We shall be called upon to pass judg-
