were also elected, embracing 8 Wings, Nor

those Of local interest. The message was
strong on those distinctive points to which
the Governor owed his election-Te Temperance,

From the LAFAYETTE (Indiana) Courier, April
Another Mode of Planting Potatoes.

Let the farmer or the gardener select
some refuse lot, or part OF lot, of sod
ground. Do not plough it, but when plant
inc time comes, say between the 10th of
May and the first of June, place potatoe
cuttings on the grass of the said ground
from l2 to l8 inches apart, using about
the same amount; or perhaps little more
seed than is used in the ordinary way of
planting Cover the ground this sown with
coarse straw, corn stalks. leaves, or any
other refuse matter, of the kind, to the depth
of to 10 inches-just enough to kill the
grass and prevent it growing. The potatoe
vines will find their way through this COW
ering without difficulty, and form mat.
which will prevent the straw or other COW
ering from being blown off by the wind
Potatoes planted in this way will need no
blowing or hoeing. In the fall, when the
vines are killed with the frost, take strong
rake and uncover the potatoes, which Will
be found covering the ground, large, dry.
and clean enough for the dinner kettle with
out washing. The ground will be found to
have lost none ofits virtue, but will, in fact,
be enriched by the process. The labor
prescribed, it will be seen, is much less than
will be required by the old method Of plow-
ing, planting, hoeing and digging. The re-

Almost every farmer has stacks of straw
which has been run over by his stock dur
inp the winter, and which is of no use ex-
cept for this purpose. Why not, at least
try this simple experiment? Its costs tri-

that we have oursef raised at the rate of
over nine hundred bushels to the acre, by
this simple method. A big story, but true,
notwithstanding, II this table vegetable
should command the price of the past win
ter, we presume our farmer readers will be
satisfied with third that amount, and
make more money at that than by raising
corn.
