PLAIN TALK.

The following advice from the Citizen, Of
New York, of which john Mitchell was former
editor, is given to the military companies
composed of foreignersrecently disbanded in
Massachusetts,.
For every musket given in to the stat, ar
mory, let three be purchased forthwith; let
independent companies be formed thrice as
numerous as the disbanded corps-:here are
no arms acts here yet-and let eUery storeign-
err be drilled and trained, and hare his arms
alrays ready. For you my be very sure
having some experience in that matter--that
tho,e who begin by disarming you mean to do
you m schiet.
B, careful not to tru:kle in the smallest
prrticular to American prejudices. Yield
not single jot OF your o,cn; for you haze
as good right to your prejudices as they.
DO not by any means, suffer Gardner's BIZ
ble-the Protestant Bble-to be thrust dOwn
your hroa.s. Do not abandon your post, or
renoance your functions, as citizens or as
soldiers, but after resort to the last and high
est tribunal of law open to you; keep thu
peace; attempt no demonstrations" discour-
age drunkenness, and stand TO your arms.

aid:
New York has got rather dirty face just
at this present. The snow has by singular
metamorphose been. changed to mush and
mortar. The ladies, and city ladies will
walk you know, tramp around with clothes
at half mast, looking like a large brood Of
Shanghai chickens. The corners Of the
streets are crowded with ioafers, gamblers,
dandies and blackguards generally, to wit
ness the exposed foot, sncle, &C., of the Pc
destrians. This does not seem to affect The
ladies in the least, in fact some Of them seem
to delight in being "gazed att and remarked
upon. But am u countryman, you know,
and hence are unused to such displays. IL
Mayor Wood will make q 'sbreak" on these
corner oafers, he will oblige modest dam
sells and save your humble correspondent
bushes for his sex. Perhaps, though, if
stay here long enough will get so accus-
toned to the sights that won't feel SO bad
about it.

Raising Potatoes Uader Straw

|. Q. CowELL, Coshccton, o., writes thus
to the Ohio Cultiyator.
have this year raised a crop Of as sound,
good potato, IS as ever need be set before the
iastidious.ep;cure. They are spoken of by all
who come to our table as being the best they
have seen this season. Yet it was so dry
here that oar corn drel up, and not half
crop was realized.
The plan | have adopted is not original
with myself, but has been published in vari-
Gus agricultural journals, and is as follows:
Select a good, mellow piece of land, rich
enough to bear good corn, either stuble or
sward will do, and pillow it thoroughly six or
eight inches deep, as soon as it is dry and
sufficiently warm for potatoes to vegetate.
Harrow and mark off lightly with shovel
plow, one way, about two and half or three
feet apart. Sci ct sound and good-s;zcd po-
satoes for seed, if you can get them, and
drop in the rows about eighteen inches apart.
and cover lightly, about two inches say. 1t
is an important point to get them planted
early, and / think early varieties do better
than late. The Blue Meshannock consider
equal to any extant.
The next operation is to cover the whole
surface of the ground with old straw or par
.S''Su mauutt, w Tue ucptl Vi 1--WE OF
SIX inches, If the materials used are wet, or
70 the depth Of 10 or II il dry straw is used,
as the latter will settle considerably when it
becomes moistened by the rain. r.@EtY
As thc soil and weather are rather cool at
this season, find it advantageous to delay
Inc application Of the straw till the potatoes
nave sprouted and grown nearly to tbs sur
lace. They thus come forward earlier than
covered immediately on planting.
II the work thus far has been properly
done, nothing more is necessary till the po
m M'oes are large enough to 'sdig and eat"
Inc advantages Of this metho are, l. 1t
enectually secures the crop against the dvouth;
= The crop needs no attention in the busy
parton the season, as no weeds will germi-
ante or grow where the ground is so covered.
.. Nsecurcs an abundant crop, whether the
season be wet o. dry, hot or cold.
should the weather be very wet, the pota-
'o's should be dug as soon rs ripe, and piac-
san dry position, otherwise they may rot,
"the straw il great retainer of moisture.
mink good mellow land, just cleared,
would do we'll to plant without any blowing:
W, merely drop the seed upon the surface,
ana cover with tho straw, in which case it
would not be much trouble to dig the pota-
toes.
Iry it, brother farmer; eat good potatoes
AeAs year, and report the result.
