CAMEL Coal Om.-The Virginian, Alb

ganized in Knnawha county, for the purpose
of manufacturing Oil from Camel Coal,
which abounds in that part of the Old Do
minion. All necessary preparations have
been made for the successful prosecution of
the design. Experiments have now fully
demonstrated the practcabilty of extracting
from camel coal pure oil, which is as rea-
Oily manufactured into candles as spermaciti,
mutton, or beef tallow. 1t can hardly fail to
be aproftabIe business. The oil is not only
adapted to lamps and machinery, but for
medicinal purposes. Forty three per cent
of the coal, in the form of coke, is left after
the oil is extracted
1t is said that camel coal is to be found in
large quantities along the line of the Knox
vile and Danvile railroad, in this State.

BURYING POTATOES.

$ Mn. EDIroR Having little spare
time thought / would write TO the far.i-
ers. ] will give them my plan OF burying
potatoes through the winter so they will
keep from freezing. My plan is this: /
take rye or other straw and look out for
dry place to bury the potatoes. Spread the
straw thick on the ground, so that when
the potatoes are put on the straw il will be
three or four inches thick or more The
more the better SO it is dry under them.-
Put the potatoes on the straw till you ge:
In as many as you want to bury. if it is so
bashels. Now put your straw around the
potatoes. Don't be afraid you will get too
much straw on the potatoes. / put 90
Bushels OF rye straw under each heap and
around them and it is not too much The
potatoes want about six inches of straw
and about the same of dirt and they will
not freeze, as know by experience

B;ltiaqs' Patent Fire and Water
Proof Roofing. 81.

THIS most valuable roofing material was
i patented by Horace Billings of Boards
town, Illinois, in 1850 since which time 1T has
been subjected to the most rigid tests for Idura-
bility. As roofing material it has also prov
ed to be invaluable and enduring. The elegance
of finish it imparts to \ building, the ubiquisy
of the materials Of which it is composed, and
the fact that it combines the valuable qualities
of nearly every other kind of roofing, being
non-conductor of heat, thereby yielding de-
gree of comfort in summer to the buildings COW
cred with it, afforded by no ordinary material ;
and imparting no prejudicial quality whatever
to rain water, but leaving it pure, and suitable
for culinary purposes; has gained for it ce-
lebrity, equafled by no other invention of the
age, in the same length Of time. For the proof
of which, the subscribers would invite the at
tention of all interestedto testimonials in their
possession. =

Combination Patent Portable
Upright
SAW MILL.

r N presenting to the public the claims of this
Il machinery, we will state that its production
is the result Of the combined efforts of several
of the most practical machinists and expert
enced saw-mill men in the country
During the last few years we have examined
many new inventions and appliances in this
con eetion, and have consulted with several
thousand mechanics, fully experienced in the
use of machinery for the manufacture of ium-
-ber. During Tie. last year we have sold and
shipp I'd to various parts of this continent near
ly one hundred steam mills, the results of which
have afforded US . large amount of practical
information, as to the difficulties to be over
come, the defects to be guarded against, and
the objetts to be obtained in machinery of this
character. aa -Ska
The Mill we now offer does not claim its SUI
perioritg from any single Improvement or pat
ent which it may embrace, but as combina-
ton of all the most valuable improvements
which could be included with single machine,
added 10 which are several new appliances
lately patented, and others for which patents
have been applied for. 1t has been thorough
ly and practically tested, and has been examin-
ed by alarge number of well-xnown scientific
and experienced mechanics, whose certificates
we shah soon publish, all of whom pronounce
it more simple in its construction, more dura-
BILE and more efficient in its operations than any
mill ever before, produced. H<

STORING POTATOES FOR WINTER

In no former season has so large a crop
OF potatoes been grown in the West, nor
have they ever been Of better sizl. and
finer quality. When potatoes mature late
in. the season, and the weather is dry, they
retain their goud mealy qualities much
longer than when they mature early. and
the summer afterwards proves wet. When
these are dug and put away for winter,
: after the manner practiced by many, they
are injured by heat, terminated in the pile,
and they sprout and become watery, and
inferior quality. The most perfect method
OF keeping potatoes in winter, is in a dry
house above the freezing gtemperature. In
our August number for 1856. we gave the
plan Of q potato house calculated to pre-
serve the crop in the most perfect order,
and with much less labor than is. required
TO bury them in the ordinary way, and in
this house they are accessible at AL times
when the weather. will admit of their re-
moval.
When potatoes are TO be put away in
pits, care should be taken to keep them as
dry as possible, and to ventilate the pile so
that no confined air shall remain. The
best method is TO select high, dry ridge.
and, when the pile is formed give it thick
covering of straw, grass, or stalks, with a
sufficient thickness Of earth TO render them
secure frsm frost, and then cover Tie whole
With plank so as to turn Off the water into
trenches, which should surround the heaps.
In forming the pile, tube, or several of
them, according to the leneth of the pit.
should be extended into the body of the
heap and reach 10 the top of the earth, for
the escape of heated air. These may be
g five or six inches square, and, in very cold
weather, she opening should be closed with
bundle Of straw or hay. Without this
pr.caution, potatoes that are designed for
seed, are as much injured as if they were
intended Tor the table,, Before planting
time they are so much grown that their
strefgth and vigor are SO much exhausted
that the second growth is mush weaker
than the first, causing slender, sickiey vines
and a greatly diminished crop.

and othex roots should be stored and xen!i-

Now that the winter season is approach
ing. when horses must be confined in the
stable, few words TO our readers on the
subject oil their proper care may not be "a
miss. In his natural state the horse roams
ffee--but he is confined by man so closely
that he can hardly lie down. His stall is
too frequently not more than four feet wide
and il should never be less than six feet
He cannot lie down and rest we'll in less
space, and If more room were given him
it would be- better. He is generally COM
PEELED to stand on plank, when his proper
and natural place is on earth, not in mud
and filth, but on dry solid earth. Most
stalls are so constructed that the plank up
on which he stands slopes considerably
backwards, which compells the horse to
stand in an unnatural position. The floor
or earth should be level, or if shopping at
all, let it be towards the manger. The
chief reason of there being so many lame
horses is, that they are confined in such
abominable stalls. The horse likes COM
pany-being gregarious animal, but the
partitions between the stalls are generally
made SO high that he cannot see his COM
panions. es tf78
Stables are generally too tight, and too
low ana CODtFaCteu. mere 10 not CudnCe
enough for the escape of foul air which
arises. The hay upon which the horse is
to be kept is almost universally placed i'm.
mediately over where the horse stand. thus
preventing the escape of tine ammonia. or
absorbing it, and thus fed in its polluted

entered stable in summer has failed TO
experience the pungent odor of ammonia,
which in fact is almost inendurable, yet
the poor horse must be confined in this air
day after day. Can we wonder that he
does not thrive. that he is frequently at

and is liable under such treatment to all
the ills to which horse flesh is heir BY
