PROPAGATION OF THE POTATO
FROM SEED.

We are daily enquired of, as to the mode Of
growing the potato from seed. We answer -
The potato balls, or seed pods, should be per-
United TO hang on the vine until fully ripe, then
gather them with one foot or more Of the vine
attached, and hang them up in dry, cool place
until next spring. Id May, or as soon as the
earth becomes warm and vegetation is in rapid
growing state, rub out the seed from the balls,
mad SOW it in light, loamy soil, covering it half
an inch, to an inch in depth. As The plants
grow, keep them free Of weeds and frequently
stir the ground around them Should any show
signs Of blossoming, pluck the bud or blossom
without delay As soon as the tops appear
ripe, dry them, and the produce willbe, iubers
from the size Of pea TO that Of robins egg
Thes preserve carefully until another spring.
and plan; them three inches deep the produce
will be potatoes about as large as hens egg
These again preserve carefully until spring,
when plant, and the result, will show you wheth-
or you have gained anything valuable or not
To those who desire to hasten the matter, and
have hot bed frames,' the seed may BIZ sown
the present year, and kept preserved in the
frames under glass during the winter this course
will save one year in time.
In conneciiaon with this, il may not be amss
TO give brief history of the potato, Sold,ilnl
tubaosum. The word has by some writers
been derived from solar to comfort. It's appli-
cation, however, is not evident, unless in coun-
tries whore the potato form the chief staple Of
food. 1t is supposed to be native of South
America, and was cultivated in Spain early in
the .l0h century, and is said to have been taken
frum Virginia TO England about 1885 or g.
How it came in Virginia we know not 1t is
now generally cultivated in Holland, France,
Germany Russia, aud even China.
The practice of growing potatoes by earth.
ing them up, has been proved Improbable. -
More than one fourth more to the acre being
the produce when the tubers are planted six to
eight inches deep, and the ground kept light
and loose, but level. Picking the seed pods,
or balls as soon as formed, has also been found
by experiment, to increase The product about one
ton weight Of tube to the acre. Ohio Farmer

wOoL--THE PROSPECT.

The most OF this staple has now passed oul
OF first hands. Manufactures and SPECTATORS
came into the field in greater numbers than usu-
al. They knew the shortness Of the crop in
this country. The high price of fine foreign

featured goods in the old world, had been al.
ready drained out and exhausted, must conspite

snort crop OF grain alone kept prices from run

come heavy, will dofr the hard times and the
old 'hread-bare coat together; merchants will
throng the Eastern cities for stock commensur-
ate with the demand general trade will revive :;
an advance on staple goods will be realized, and
manufactures must have good run. This we

THE Necessary OF DRouenT, AND ITS BeN-

ing the necessity Of drought to replenish the
soil with mineral substances. carried off to the
sea by the rams, and also taken up by the crops,
and not returned by manure. These two eau
ses, always in operation, would in time, render
the earth barren waste, 10 which no vendure
would quicken, and no solitary plant take root,
II there was not natural confederation BY
drought, which operates to supply this waste in
the following manner. During dry weather,
continual evaporation Of wafer takes place from
the surface Of the earth, which is not supplied
by any from the clouds. The evaporation from
the surface creates a vacuum, so far as water is
concerned, which is at once filled by the water
rising up from the subsoi of the land the
strata below, and in this manner the circulation
Of water in the earth is the reverse to tina,
which takes place in wet weather With this
water also ascend, the mineral held in solution.

and silicaie Of potash and soda. which are de-
posted in the surface soil as the water eyapor-
ates, and thus restores the losses sustained as
above stated. The author Of this theory APP
pears TO have faken considerable pains TO verify
the fact by number Of interesting experiments.
The subject is worthy Of attention Of men Of
leisure and Of education, who pursue the ration
al system Of blending chemistry with agricul,ur-
al science.
