HOW TO RAISE pOTAroEs

Messrs. Editors-l have tried several ex-
periments in raising potatoes which wish to
communicate for the benefit of such as are
inqyiring upon the subject
/. The greatest yield | ever had, the pota-
toes were cultivated in the following manner :
The land was plowed and furrowed for the
same then straw was laid in the burrows in
stead of manure The potatoes were cut and
dropped about eight inches apart in the same
upon the straw. The potatoes were then
covered with pillow, about six inches deep.
l have sometimes put the straw upon the po-
tatoes; ! could see no difference.
2. The second experiment was to sprinkle
a handful of coal dust into each hill. either
before or after the potatoes were dropped. |
have seen a great effect from the use of half
pint Of coal dust in the hill. / have never
used muck as substitute for coal dust in case
the dust could not be had, but have recon-
mended the practice TO farmers, who have
used it, they say, successfully. A quart Of
muck should be used in the hill
3. My third experiment was TO use a mix.
turc of lime, plaster and ashes upon the hill
applied after the first hoeing. Or if applied
twice, before and after the first hocing.
have never applied this compost in the hill
but my neighbors have done it, and say they
succeed better than TO apply upon the hill
The compost might be applied 10 good advan-
tagc both ways. have never known pota-
toes SO rot where coal dust or straw was ap.

o. whom was a tiny boy
Ny days and nights were full Of joy,
Nv mates were blitho and kind
No wonder that sometimes sigh,
And dash the tcar.drop from my eye,
To cast q look behind
a hoop was an eternal round
OF pleasure. In those days found
A toy joyous things
But now those past delights | drops
Nv head, alas is all my top,
and careful thoughts the string
NV kite, how fast and far it few
whilst !, a sort Of Franklin, drew
Ny pleasures from the sky
Twas papcred DER with studious themes
The tasks wrotc,--my present dreams
win never soar so high
Nv joys are winglcss all and dead
Nv dumps are made Of more thau leadi
Nv flights soon End a fall.
My fears prevail, iny fancies droop,
JOY never cometh with q hoop,
And seldom with a call
Ny footballs laid upon the shelfi
am shuttccock myself
The world knocks to and fIoi
Ny archery is all unleamcd,
And gricfagainst myselfhas turned
My arrows and my bow
No more IN noontdo sun bask;
