Home Truths for Farmers.

Unless you are verv rich, you cannot
afford TO keep your cattle on short allow

you. If milk and butter is your only de-
penJence.
1t is bad economy to cultivate a great
field for little crop. Enrich the land
and II will pay you fer it, you need not
fear of suspension or de(alcaton when
you invest manure on your land. 1t

break.
Cut bushes that you wish to destroy in
the Summer season with a sharp instru
NETT. They bleed more freely and die.
EIde's can only be Subdued according 20
our experience, by cutting in August.
The foot OF the owner is said to he

Keep II debt ana credit account of each
field you cultivate. In this wav YOU can
determine if your system of farming
pays.
When an implement is no longer wan

it in the tool house. Hoes, spades, shov.
els, indeed all iron implements, should be
well creased with n mixture OF Iinseed
oil, taIlow and rosin, to prevent rust -
Rust eats up many thousand dollars
worth Of tools annually.
Procure good seed, and prepare your
ground well and SOW early without con

Avoid osten,atious display. 1t will be
time enough to build great barn and a
fine dwelling when you have something
to put in them.
Keep n record Of your experiments and
the important events on your farm Re-

From he Richuoni Southern Planter.
Keeping sweet Potatoes.

We are indebted to our friend, Col. J.
Lucius Davis Of llenrico county, for the
details Of discovery of his, in regard to
the proper treatment Of sweet potatoes in
store, which will afford new idea to our
potatoe raisers, ms well AS give them a
piece m information whicI. we believe
will be worth to them more than five
years subscription TO the Planter (which
Is only 81 lear,) and we trust they will
profit by it. One OF our subscribers told
It's lie made last year very fine crop,
but lost a large portion of it oy the rot
occurring after they we're stored away.
They are worth taxing care of from
the fact that they sell well, and are a
mong the very best of all vegetables for
table use. They are equal almost to the
same quantity OF bread--they make n
first rate pie, and eaten hot with n plenty
Of butter and good rich milk, they are
good and acceptable to almost every body
any hour in the twenty four.
Col. Davis SAYS the rot is produced hy
pressure, and begins in the bottom centre
Of the pile, gradually fresh potatoes come
ones until it spreads through the pile just
as a little leaven leavens the whole lump.
The remedy is to take off the pressure

are eighteen inches apart. These shelves
may be nailed up TO common piece OF
