Potatoes icithom Seed. Tom Jones was a
farmer, in small way-honesf, Industrious
and much given TO trusting in Providence
so much 81 that he sometimes thought the
earth would yield crop of potatoes without
putting in the seed. "Thc yer'h," he said,
"was natural TO potatoes, and he kalkaated
1t would turn out decent crop, upon pinch,
without seed, if We only trusted in Provi
dcnce" Jones confined his farming opera.
tlons pretty much to a potatoe patch, regard
ing that esculent root as next in value to
the staff of life. 1t so happened, one spring.
that Jones' bin run low, and he had not a
peck of seed to plant, nor a cent in cash to
purchase with. Well" said Jones, to his
better half. & let us trust in Providence. I'll
do my part in manurlng, blowing and prepar-
ing the ground, dig the holes, "make-be-
iiere' put in the seed, cover up and pat down.
by a neighbor at the door, who passed away
unperceived. AT it Jones went, in good ear
nest and great faith, preparing his potatoe
patch as usual, in prime order. One noon
light night, when Jones and his faithful
spouse were last asleep, the ncighbor, joined
by others who were in the secret, put n sup
ply of genuine pinkeyes into every one Of
Jones seedlcss hills. In process of time
Jones walked out to view his potatoe patch
whcn,' lack-a day, the green sprouts were up
an inch or more, showing signs of a fine
crop And a rich crop il was, in hurvest
time! There, now" said Mr.. Jones to
Mrs. Jones, " there's nothing like trusting in
Providence" "To be sure there amt" re-
piled Mrs. Jones. "There amt such yield
of potatoes, and pink eyes too, in all these
parts for ten miles round. Only think, Mr..
Jones, with all our little Joneses, we've pota-
toes enough to last ill next digging later
time, and some to spare to our poor neigh
borsp
We'll, it came to pass that farmer Jones
having succeeded so well IN trusting to Prov
dence that season, resolved to try ii again,
by planting his patch to potatoes, minus the
seed At a proper time he went out to see
the sprouts pecping from the earth, fresh and
green as aforetime; but no sprouts appear.
ed ; and in autumn, poor Jones was doomed
to ppointment-hs scedess hills yielded
no crop. Providence there was, but no po-
tatoes.
After this painful discovery, Mr.. Jones,
the farmer, was sitting in disconsolate
mood upon the top Of a rail, with his face
earthward, when one Of his neighbors, who
had enacted the part of Providence the pre-
vous year, thus accosted him: "Weli, Jones,
what is your opinion now, about Provi-
denco?' IN tell you what it is" replied
Jones, +" trusting in Providence is well en-.
ough, but raising potatoes trithom seed, amt
10 great suakes, after ALL" "NO," replied
the neighbor, a" planting without seed is to
insult Providence-not trusting in Him."

Carrots. do not know of
any other root crop that appears to
be SO well adapted TO our climate
and circumstances as carrots.-Car-
rols are an exceedingly valuable root
crop, and no farmer should be with
out considerable plot of them. As
a condiment for horses, there is
nothing equal to them.
A deep rich, mellow, loamy soil,
hot too heavy, and yet containing
sufficient clay to enable it, when
we'll titled, to resist an ordinary
drouth,-is admirably adapted for
carrots. From 20 to 40 loads Of
well rotted manure per acre should
be spread upon the land in the
spring, and incorporated with the
soil as much as possible, before
blowing, with the cultivator or har-
row. Then plow it under as deep
as the nature of the soil will war
rant. Let four hands follow the
team, and rake in tn the furrow any
manure that may be left uncovered,
leaving the surface clean and
smooth.
In this vicinity, carrots should be
sown as early in May as the season
will allow.-lf the weather is favor
able, they will be up and ready for
the first hoeing in about three weeks.
The hoe should then be passed
lightly through between the rows 10
kill the weeds.
This is very important. Much labor
of wedding afterwards will be saved
by thus destroying the weeds before
they have full possession of the
ground. The stirring of the soil also
helps the growth of the carrots. In
ten days hoe again, weed the rows,
and thin out the carrots If too thick.
After two weeks, hoe deep, weed,
aud thin ont the carrots to four or
five inches apart in the rows, and
the work is complete for the season.
E. s. Howard of Brighton, Monroe
Co., N. Y, a very successful carrot
grower, adopts this system of man
agement.
Mr.. II. averages about 1000 BUSH
els Of carrots per acre. He says
I" there is no crop the farmer can
raise that pays SO well, or yields SO
much good feed for stock"

ly, i, is Of the first importance that
they have a suitable building, for 50
long as the old plan Of keeping them
III damp underground novels, or in
close, unveniilated buildings, with
perhaps one whole side Of glass, BY
which means they are heated ns hot
as an oven through the day, Just 90
long shall we hear Of all manner Of
distempers, and that breeding poul.
try is Improbable.
here give YOU a plan Of build
ing sufficiently large to uccommo-
date from rs TO 100 fowls, which
building may be varied according to
circumstances. Ii should in all cas-
es be entirely above ground, iacing
the south, leaving an aperture thro'
Which the fowls may pass in and out
at their pleasure. Insert no more
glass than is necessary for the adj
mission Of light. Dimensions as fol-
lows, wills fee, long, 10 feet
wide; ports in front 10 feet, in back
side I feet long; roof perfectly tight,
floor also tight and smooth The
sides should be Of common, straight
edged boards, ba,tened over the
cracks, il necessary. Roost poles Of
3 by 4 joist, running the whole length
Of the back side of the building, with
poop in the centre of each.
For convenience in cleaning tho
building, would recommend that
the poles be placed on a level, three
feet from the floor, aud eighteen
inches apart, with an inclined plane
in the center for the fowls TO walk TO
the poles upon. Saturaic the poles
occasionally with whale oil, and
whitewash the whole interior at least
twice II year keep the floor cover
ed with wood or coal ashes, and when
the building is cleaned, (Which should
be of,en,) sprinkle little air-slack-
ed lime over the floor, by which
means vcrmn of every kind will US
uaily be kept out. Ventila,e well, as
fowls need pure air as well as men.
In order 10 make them grow rap
idly, feed them regularly three times
day when young, never placing be-
fore them more than they will eat;
change their food often, as whatever
they like is good for wheat,
oats, barley, corn Indian meal seal
ded, or cooked and seasoned with a
little salt, is good fer chickens also,
sour or curdled milk. Raw potatoes
aud onions chopped fine are almost
indispensable. Chandeliers scraps arc
also good.
To make hens lay in the winter,
feed them three times in day ON
Indian meal dough, mixed slightly
with Cayenne pepper scraps Of

About Foiois, and ho,c to feed and rsa'
them.--The hen fever prevails Throughout
the country generally. We have had a touch
Of 1t, and are sick enough OF Shang- highs.
They have too much leg and neck aud too
little body or meat, and tough at that. Pure
white Cochna-C hnas are good layers and
good for chicken-fxens." The most beau
tlful bird, of the domestic kind. we have
seen, arc the Golden Phesants, fno speci-
mems Of which may be found at the Poultry
house of Mr.. John Woodbury., Montpelier
the stirring and enterprising dairy farmer who
supplies our villagers with milk. His civil
and attentive boys will show them to all ad.
mirers of fine fowls who may please to call
for that purpose. We hope to get pair Of
them for pleasure, If not for profit too. But
to our purpose. The following is decidedly
the most sensible article we have seen on
raising and feeding fowls. Il was written
by II. S. BalIou, Blackstone, Mass. and first
published in the N. Y. Tribune. IL is CON-
nended to the careful attention of ali who
breed, or intend to breed fowls;
| would recommend To all breed
ing fowls, whether Tor pleasure, con-
yenience or profit, To procure some
pure breed, Of whatever variety they
fancy, aud then breed them pure
aud improve upon them, year ate,
year, by selecting their finest, best
modelled Pullc,s for breeding pur'
poses, aud by changing the cock
yearly, so as to avoid breeding "iu
and in" by pursuing this course
fowls may be increased in size and
beauty to an extent perfectly aston
ishing. BY the opposite course, the
largest varieties may be reduced to
the size Of the smallest bantam. Fol-
low the same rule in breeding TO the
feathers. Take a pair Of black ban
iams, with only one white feather
aud select from their offspring, fOl
breeding purposes, those which have
the most white feathers, and tn,
stock will, in few years, be chang
ed from black to white.
In order TO breed fowls successful
