Prospectus of the Eyandot Pioneer.


ISview of the rapidly improving condition Of
the county of Wyandot and town of Upper
Sandusky, and for other reasons not neces,
sary 70 be mentioned, / have purchased a. new
press. type and other printing material for the
enlargement of the PloNEER. 1t is my intention
to attempt to get up as large and neat Papei
rs any one printed in any of the adjoining eoun
ties; and in so dong,I shall have to look to the
citizens of the county for the support necessary
for its continuance. The liberality OF the peo
pie will therefore determine the success and pub
lication of the paper, and it will be expected
that each man interested in the future growth
and prosperity of Wyandot county will freely
lend his aid in securing subscribers.
The PIONEER, in politics, will be Democratic
and at the same time, claim nothing for itsel
that will not be extended to others. While the
editor has his PECULIAR NOTIONS of political ano
other matters, he believes that other men have
alike privileges to their opinions. Although
may publish a political paper, it must and vii
be free from ALL FACTIONS, and controlled alone
by the editor. When say this, it is not my In
tention to say that the advice of friends will no

counsel with my friends upon all matters per-
tanning to the best interests of county and the
publication of the paper. If however, might
differ with others in opinion, that difference can
alone be changed by a full conviction of my
error.
The FARMER shall not be neglected, as good
~ portion of the Pioneer will be devoted to his
mt erests A gentleman of ability, has kindly
consented to aid me in this department of the
paper, and with his aid, hope to be able to rem
der the country subscribers, good service.
The mechanic and laborer will always find
the columns of this paper open for the defence
of their rights and the advancement of their
prosperity. In fact all classes will find our pa
per ready to vlndicate every thing calculated to
promote the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der.
With this exposition Of what the Pioneer will
be, 1 ask every gentleman, who can, to come up
and subscribe, and get as many more as he can
to do likewise. The prosperity of every town
and country depends more or less upon the pa
per of the county and that the paper may be
what it ought to be, let it have good living
support
JOB OFFlcE-The selection of job type in the
Pioneer Office being large, job work of every de-
scription will be neatly and expeditiously cxecu-

A. D., 1854, the Commissioners of Wvandot

and that the viewers and surveyor, appointed

Sugar Beat.

We cannot too often or too confidently
recommend the cultivation of this excel
lent field-crop. It is great yielder,
hardy, easily raised, and is superior, we
think. to any vegetable grown for milch
cows and fattening cattle, especially wher
fed raw. Wo have grown large quaint
ties for our own use the past seventeen
years, and can therefore speak Of it prac
tically and expefimentally One of oul
ncighbors--a lady farmer--informs vi
that she made thirty pounds Of butter pei
week from six cows in December, fed up
on hay and sugar beet. She adds. tha
the butter was fully equal to the best made
in September and October on rich pas
ture.
The sugar beet does best in moderate
ly and loamy soil, but will grow where
any other roots does, The seed should
be soaked two or four days in tepid water
previous 10 planting, SO rs to insure its
termination. If planted without 6rst
soaking. its shell is so hard it is a long
time terminating. Hence the i'll success
of many who do not take this into consid-
Grafton.
For field cultivation the rows should be
three feet apart, as to admit working
easily with the cultivator among the rows.
The plants, when finally thinned out,
should not stand nearer to each other
than six inches in the row. 1t can be
pulled and secured in the fall the same as
turnips.
The best variety is the White Silesian,
though the French Yellow has been SO
much improved lately, we are informed it
has become nearly as good as the latter.
We have found it to keep SO owell.
The beet requires about four pounds of
seed per acre, and can be planted very re-
pidly in drills with seed-sower, costing
about eight dollars - Am. 4Agriculturist.

REMEDY FOR THE PoTATo RoT.-Oul
readers may remember that we published
in our last volumn, a statement from Mr.
Barrett of Cayuga, that he and his neigh
bors had prevented all rot in their pota
toes for several years, by simply sowing
ashes over them at the rate of from two to
three bushels per acre, once week for
about six weeks, commencing immediate
ly after the second hoeing. Rev. Lyman
Smith, of Charlotte, VT, confirms this
statement in letter to the N. E. Farmer
He says he has prevented the rotting OF
potatoes by sprinkling the tops with ash
es, as soon as they made their appear
ance, a table spoonful to each hill; after
hoing applying the same amount again
The ashes were applied Immediately afte,
shower, Or upon heavy dew. After
such applications he has no rotten poto
toes. The experiment is certainly worth
trying. and we hope some of our reader:
will make the application and let us know
the result Country Gent

LIMA BEANs.-Observing for severa,

Raising Garden Seeds.

A good lesson is contained in the fol.
lowing paragraph from an exchange:
Some years since. in pulling my Eng
lish turnips, (raised from imported seed,
though great yield, they ran too much
to tops with rising crowns. Finding one
only with small top and small root
shaped like two saucers put together,
preserved it for seed, and the next year
sowed what l had got from it among my
potatoes, then beginning to be affected
with disease. They mostly died; but ]
got rs bushels of turnips ''true to Seed
l saved and set out eight bushels of the
most beautiful I ever saw: This was in
Springfield. All who saw them admired
them, and spoke for some of the seed
which I circulated freely at one dollar pei
pound. Tops barely enough to pull up
the root, little bigger than pipe-stem.--
They were as good as handsome. All
this goes to encourage me in selecting the
best roots and employing the best means
possible, or obtaining the best seed, from,
which to secure the reward for the very
best care and culture of the orchard, field
and garden.
