AGRICULTURAL.

KEEPING PoTAToEs IN WINTER.-Potatoe
spoil in winter, if buried, from three causes.
First and greatest, want of ventilation. Sec
ondly, and nearly allied, dampness. Thirdly,
and more rare, freezing. Farmers find most
of their potatoes spoiled at the top of the
heap; where they suppose they became frozen;
but this is not the usual cause, the damp, foul,
steamy air ascended there, and could not es-
cape, and this spoiled them. A hole made in
the top, with erowbar, and closed with
wisp of straw, would have allowed egress to
the confined air, and saved the potatoes.
The best way TO secure potatoes outdoor,
is to take large heaps, say 80 or 60 bushels ;
see that they are dry and clean, by digging
before wet weather comes on; cover them all
over with one foot of packed straw, and three
inches of earth. The straw will prevent damp
ness. and the few inches of earth will favor
ventilation. A farmer who raises many pota-
oes, and practices this mode, does not lose
peck, on the average, in 50 bushels.
HENs AND EGGs.-For several years past L
have spent few weeks of the latter part Of
August on the Kennebec river, in Maine
The lady with whom have stopped is highly
accomplished and intelligent housewife. She
supports a s.hennery,'' and from her derived
my information in this matter. She told me
that for many years she had been in the habit
of administering to her hens with their COM
mon food, at the rate Of a teaspoonfnl of cay
enne pepper each alternate day, to dozen
fowls. Last season, when l was with her,
each morning she brought in from twelve to
fourteen eggs, having but sixteen hens in all.
She again and again experimental in the mat
ter, by omitting TO feed with the cayenne for
two or three days. The consequence invari-
able was, that her product of eggs fell off to
five or six per day. The same effect of using
the cayenne is produced in winter well as in
the.summer.-Boston Transcript.
VALUE OF STRAW IN MASUREs.-It is found
by careful chemical examination, that differ
ent kinds of straw possess quite different val
ues, to work up into manure. This relative
value is very nearly determined by the guam
tity of nitrogen they contain. Barley straw
is the poorest of all oat and rye straws are
about one-third better; wheat is nearly dou-
BILE in value to barley buckwheat is rather
better than wheat meadow hay or corn-stalks
are far ahead of any of these, being five times
as rich in nitrogen as barley straw; and red
clover hay and pea-straw are each about eight
stances are mixed directly with manure, or
eaten first by animals, they produce their rel
ative effect.
