Corn and Potatoes.-Prices.

In one of the late agriculture meetings
at Boston, Asa @. Sheldon spoke of the
comparative prices of corn and potatoes,
as well as the pricoaof alltsorts of cultiva.
ted roots. Sixty years ngo, corn was as
dear as now, say ones dollar bushel at
retail, and potatoes were thirty to forty
cents. About forty years ago, there was
n great rise inlthese products; corn sold
for 81 so, and potatoes for the enormous
price of so cents a. bushel, Now, in this
city, corn may be set down at rs cents, and
potatoes at 81 a bushel. What change
in fifty years. Potatoes have generally
been higher than corn for several years.
Yet Mr.. Sheldon thinks it as easy to. raise
three bushels of potatoes as one of Urn. -
If farmer wishes to make The most money
he can, iet him cultivate potatoes, .beets,
carrots, onions, parsnips, &C., aud he will
get more dollars than he will by raising
corn.
Mr.. Wetherelli said, !the llatess. ss.rcturns
show that hesavarage crop in Massachu-
sets is less than one hundred bushels to
the acre. He had heard, on good:authori-
ty, Of farmer ia Belchertown who raised
500 bushels formerly on one acre. That
was the largest crop he ever heard of. AS
to the price potatoes formerly compared
with the present, he Stated that he had
known as good potatoes sold, twenty five
years ago, for 12k cents bushel as can be
bought now for 81 bushel. There are
some $50 kinds Of potatoes cultivated, but
only few are really valuable or profitable,
The sweet potato can be rails ID with profit
in Massachusetts, by starting them in hot
beds and planting in the open air early in
May.
Mr.. WI Buckminster said that last
year he cultivated sixteen varieties of po-
tatoes, but he found only few kinds oi
much value. The Ghenango and the Da.
Wis Seeding were spoken of as among the
best in all respects, if not the very best
lie did not think that potatoes raisedffrom
the seed were sure not to rot.
Mr.. Brooks said the potato crop now i
about FIVE or six tons, or $50 to 200 bush
els to the acre. 1t takes about Il tons tc
equal ton of hay. He spoke of potato
called the Nicaragua potato'as being very
good. They are long red potato, ant
mealy at one end, bulare apt to be water.
at the other. The sprouts of potatoe
should not be brosen off before planting

Women in the Garden.

Much in these days is said about the
sphere of women. OF this vexed question
we have nothing now to sly. The culture
of the soil, the body and soul are our
themes. Rich soils, healthy bodies, pure,
cultivated souls, these are what we are
aiming at, And to this end we recommend
that every country woman has a garden
that she. keeps and dresses with her own
hand, or at least that she supervises and
manages. The culture Of strawberries,
rasbcrries, blackberries, gooseberries, cur
rants and gaden vegetables are as delight
full and profitable as anything in which
woman can engage. She may sprinkle her
garden. with flowers. All the better for
that. A SNOWFALL in this corner, a rose in
that, dah'ia bed there and a moss boz der
here will not be out of pace. Only let
the substantial and useful constitute the
b chief part. A touch of the ornat like a
ribbon on a good bonnet, is not in the
least Objectionable. In all the schools the
girls study botany, In all families the
women ought to practice botany. 1t is
healthful, pleasing and useful, The prin
ciples of horticulture are the principles Of
botany put into practice. Farmers study
agriculture, why should not their wives
and daughters study horticulture Han!
employment is feminine, it would seem tina
this is. If any is healthy this must be. /
any is pleasurable none can be more so thai
this. A rich bed of strawberries, a busl
OF blackbcrries or curaants, a border O
flowers produced by ones own hand, wha
can well afford a more rational satisfacti N
We say to all our country sisters, have
garden, if it is only small one, and d
your best with it, What woman cannt
raise beeis, tomatoes, melons, onions, lettuC
and furnish her own table, with them ?
What woman cannot plant a raspberi
bush or currant or gooseberry, and ter
il wclll Come, good woman, study yol
health, Your usefulness your happinos, al
Your ebildren's also.
