RAISING POTATOES UNDER
STRAW.

Several Of our correspondents, within
. year, hare spoken favorably Of the
practice Of planting potatoes and cover.
ing with straw, both as . less laborious
and more profitable method of raising
tina. crop. The idea is not new to us.
As long agoas 1924, We saw this method
praetised in Vermont, and it was report
ed highly successful, but for some reason
it has not come into genera. use. The
experiments we saw tried were by select
ing : short pasture field, dropping the
seed at suitable distances over the
ground, and then covering the whole
with a coating eff straw to the depth of
a foot or more. In the Fall the straw
was raked off and the potatoes picked
up, all dry. In wet seasons this plan
was thought to be very effective. The
editor of the Pike Co. tIll.) Fee Press
has been presented with potatoes raised
the last season by a Mr.. Shipman of that
vicinity, and details as follows:
Mr.. Shipmun informed us that be
planted them in the usual manner, then
covered them to the depth of about six
inches with straw; after this no further
cultivation was required-the straw
kept down the weeds, and the potatoes
were not disturbed until they were dug.
Not only has this method produced him
a very superior potatoe, but it has this
year brought him an extraordinary
yie!d-4 bushels to the square rod, or at
the rate of $40 bushels to the acrei
He has tried this mode of culture for
three years past, and has in every iu-
stance found it to bring results supe-
rior to the common method. This year
be has planted at three different times,
with the following results:
Early in April he planted Meshapocks
in both ways, and Piukeyes under the
straw; all were in the same kind of
ground. The Meshanocks cultivated
yielded 2 bushels aud l peck to the
square rod those covered with straw 8
bushels and | peck, and the Pinkeyes
covered, 4 bushels.
Pinkeyes planted on the Gath of May,
covered with straw, yielded 2a bushels
and 4 quarts to the square rod. They
we're the smallest potatoes.
Pinkeyes planted about the last of
June, covered, brought 2 bushels and
/ quart to the square rod. These, al
though the smallest yield, were the lar.
gest potatoes, and of the best quality,

Snow BREAD.-We give the follow
ing for the benefit of those who are moi
so " set in their own way" as never t.
try experiments: "All persons where
snow abounds, are not, perhaps, aware
of the value of the Aeecy fakes, in ma.
king light, delicious and wholesome
bread. There is no raising in the
world SO perfectly physiological as good,
fresh, sweet snow. It raises bread or
cake as beautifully as the best of yeast,
or the purcst acids and alkalies, whilst it
leaves no faint or fermentation like the
former, nor injurious neutral salt like
the latter. Indeed it raises by supply
ing atmosphere wherewith to puff up the
dough, whilst the other methods only
supply carbonic acid gas.'-Er.
MEEDfNG Broken CHINA-Tbe fol
lowing old receipt for mending China is
said to answer admirably: "Take o
very thick solution of gum arabic in
water, and stir into it plaster of Paris
until the mixture becomes a v~iscuous
paste. Apply it with a brush to the
fractured edges, and stick them together.
In three days the article cannot again
be broken in the same place. The
whiteness of the cement renders it dou-
bly, valuable" Tying the pieces togeth.
er, and boiling in milk, is also good
receipt.
To CLEAN BsAss-Rub the tarnish-
ed or rusted brass, by means of a cloth
or sponge, with diluted acid, such as the
sulphuric, or even with strong vinegar.
Afterwards wash it with hot water, to
remove the acid, and finish with dry
whiting.
valuable REcEIPT.-To wash silk
with great success, spread il on q table,
and then rub it with a sponge dipped in
a mixture of equal parts of soft soap,
brandy, and cane molasses. Rinse it
thoroughly in three successive portions
of water, and iron it before quite dry.
To TELL Coop EeGs.-H you desire
to DO certain that your eggs are good
and fresh, put them in water-if the
butts up they are not fresh. This is
an infallible rule to distinguish a good
egg from a bad one.
