Planting Potato Feelings.

We have recently been attracted by an arti-
Gle in the "Soil of the South to the following
effect: A negro boy was sent to empty some
potato Feelings in the Piggery. but before do
ING it. he selected all the eyes, and planted
them in the fence corner. The result was,
that at digging time he had near bushel of
potatoes, larger and better than those of his
master raised from whole potatoes and with
.'guanner" On mentioning the subject to an
Englishman, he assured us that whole po,a-
toes were never planted in the district from
which he emigrated-Anothing but the eyes.
These were cut off the tuber. with more OF the
potato, however, than is usually taken off with
he peeling, and planted in highly manfred
and well prepared soil. and large crops Of the
very best of potatoes are the result. The re-
mainder of the potato as prepared for the table

if the whole tuber were planted. other things

always in favor Of planting the largest pota
toes with very little cutting. but We have re-
Gently noticed an account Of case where
small tubers produced quite as good. perhaps
a better crop than large ones. And if small
potatoes will produce large ones. why may not
the eyes Of the large ones do the same? We
have at least the advantage. of the best tubers
if there is any superiority in the quality Of
large potatoes for seed over small ones-a
fact generally admitted. and which is one of
the strongest arguments in their favor. The
other is that their size enables the Young shoots

space of time. But when we remember that
potatoes the size of hen egg are often pro-
Igced in one season from the seed. there may
not be SO much advantage in the having large

We incline to the opinion. however, that it is

may be that the crop having longer time TO

De the cause. we have no hesitation IN recon-
mending that corn be planted IN this latitude
as soon as the ground is warm enough to
sprout it.
IL might be remarked that should the season
De uniformly favorable, little or difference
night be perceived. Or should a severe
-irouth occur just at the caring time of an ear
y planted field, the yield might be less than
lat Of one planted later. but such cases are
not common. and it is easily seen that in tie
'oFmer case there is nothing lost, and IN the
latter drouth is about as likely to occur when
4 late planted field is caring, as at the caring
time Of one q little earlier
From our boyhood days we lave noticed
that those farmers who were universally look
ed to as the best aud most prosperous. planted
iheir corn early. sometimes finishing in April
Of course nobody raised better corn. Late
irosts seldom or never kill early corn; if they
chance to cut il down, it comes again, the root
is not killed. Corn should be planted by the
middle of 9Th month May. and we would
prefer that it be done sooner rather than later,
if the spring is not unusually backward.

Slightly mistaken, We should think, brother

indicate. We have very frequently known

field. in an unrotted state, and spread from the

never knew wheat field so treated, just be-
fore sowing time, but the good effects were
quite apparent the following spring. That
manures must be decomposed before they can
be used by plants, we shall not deny. but can
not this change take place in the ground?-
We prefer that stable manure shall have un-
dergone the heating or fermenting process,
before it is taken to the field. and perhaps a
further state of decomposition would be still
better, but the remarks of our neighbor seem
little too sweeping. With unrotted straw
the case may be difierent--though we have Of
ten applied half-rotted straw, from the COW
yard, to potatoes in the roe. with any thing
but bal results. Our knowledge of agricul
ture is founded on facts, rather than philoso
ply, and hence our mode of reasoning.
