TRINITY BAY, Aug. l6

The cause of delay in transmitting and re-
ceiving intelligence through the Cable is that
the instruments require great deal of care
and adjusting in getting them ready. am
doing this as fast as possible. You should not
look on tho Gable as an ordinary short Tele-
graph Line that can be worked through d.
rectly. The Cable has been successfully laid
and Geographic signals are passed through it
at our pleasure. But we have encountered
many little difficulties which it requires
much care & experiment to entirely overcome,
But we see no reason to doubt that we shall
be able within a few days to surmount all
difficulties. will send you the earliest in
formation of the probable time when the
Queens Message may be expected.
DE SAuTY.
In addition to the above we nave seen a
private despatch from reliable gentleman
at St. Johns n. +. who is in a position to
obtain the earliest and most correct official
intelligence concerning the Cable, which
states that the Recording Instrument at
Trinity Bay records with good degree
success the communications from the
Electricians at valentia Office; but that
owing to some as yet unexplained cause it
has been impossible to give that or any other
intelligence to the operators at Valentia.
This is state of things which often occurs
on the Land Lines one Office can receive
correctly from distant operator and yet be
unable to send word in reply and the
difficulty sooner or later is found to be in the
battery, its connections or the instruments
and there is no reason to doubt that the
present difficulty in working the Cable will,
as AEON as the Electricians can compare
notes, be entirely overcome.

Tor DREssING GRAss LANp.-I Yankee in
p1emrnt In the grazing district, where butter
and cheese are the leading products, farmers
often find it inconyenient to take up sward
land as often as desirable. 1t is considered
n dcbatable question whether lands naturally
adapted to grass, may not better be kept in
good heart by top dressing, than by plowiing
and reSeeding. Some very intelligent farmers
claim that it takes many years to make a per-
feet sod well seeded with the best variety of
grasses for the dairy, and that when this sod
is once formed it should not be broken up
OF course they do not discard manuring, but
apply it in the shape of tOp-drcssng, as often
as the land gives any indication of decreasing
yield of hay. They also accompany the dres-
sing with sowing grass seed, where the sward
is not sufficiently thick
In LitchfeId County, CT. they have IA very
ingenious and simple coutriyancc, combining
the advantages of roller and harrow, to aid in
the work Of top dressing 1t is claimed that
the manure benefits the land, just as it is made
fine and available for the roots of the grasses
10 accomplish this communion of the stable
manure they spread it upon the surface of the
meadow, and 90 over it repeatedly with this
peculiar mpement-Thc frame work is simply
two large paukS, such as are used for making
stone boats or drags The plank should be
Of the best white oak timber, two or more i'll
ches thick, two feet wide, and five or six long
Two Of these are framed together in the usual
was, and then the bottom is bored for harrow
tceth-The teeth are made of steel, four inches
long, and about an inch square. They are
arranged in triangular shape, three triangCs
shutting into each other, and no tooth follow
Ing its neighbor 1t takes about forty teeth
for a complete implement.
This brseaks all Jumps in the manure very
finely, and makes small furrows among the
grass roots, into which the manure is pressed
by the drag as it p"sses a ong. 1t leaves TIE
surface much less even than the harrow, and
breaks the Jumps better than the roller -
Grass seed is put in with this implement in
the best manner. BY occasional top dressings
and scarsfyingS old meadows are kept in -four
ishing condition and there is no loss of the
grass crop, even for a single season.
We have never met with this Yankee con
trivance in any other locaity-Itis is considered
by those acquainted with it, as better adapted
to scarifying and smoothing the surface of grass
land, then any other implement. 1t is not
patented, and there is nothing to prevent any
cultivator who chooses from availing himself
fits advantages.

Experience in Potato Culture
he Editor of the Amerieaa -1graculturist:

To he Editor Of The -imsrieaH ASr7caitH'1st:
This root is one of the most common crops
of the American farmer and almost every one
preteuds to know all about it. But to raise
Superor potatoes, we have much to learn yet,
especially as regards its proper treatment to
ensure a large crop even under favorable CIR
cumstarces. Here the question presents itself
how many bushels is large crop! This
depends much upon the kind all other things
being equal The best kind, such as the Mer-
Ger, is comparatively small bearer. l think
that for the middle of Pennsylvania 200 bush
els per acre of MERGERS would be very large
crop One thing is sure that halt that quanttl-
tv 1t more frequently obtained. | could never
come near 300, much less 500 or 600 bushels,
as is said to have been raised from one acre.
Whether that is only paper farming or wheth-
er we common, hardworking Dutchmen are
too stupid, | am not ready to say. But |
would much rather see it, than hear it said
] am here speaking of MERGERS only, and when
have 200 bushels, | consider ii q full yield
from al acre
| prefer corn-stubble well manured and
plowed II inches deep and deeper if possible,
then well narrowed. If cloddy, roller is run
over the ground, and again narrowed, so as
to start with well puIverzed soil than
marked ont with light pow, feet apart, and
or 5 inches deep, and covered with hoe,
from to 4 inches deep. The planting is done
as early in the Spring as circumstances will
admit
When the first young weeds make their ar-
pearance, e light harrow is lun over the ground
to destroy them This is done as often as
weeds make their appearance, TIL the potatoes
themselves show above ground, when III few
days the rows will be sufficiently marked by
showing a BLUSH streak of the young tops
The plowing is then done, throwing fresh
ground up against the row on both sides at
once, with corn plow. Some will be covered
but does no harm, for in few day they work
their way out again. If any ground is left un-
disturbed between the rows, the cultiyator is
run through, and the weeds between the hills
are destroyed with the hoe and the hand.
BY this mode Of afterculture the little
spongoes are not disturbed If the plowing
is left till the vines have made considerable
growth, it often does more harm than good,
from the fact that the plow cuts many of the
young rootletS which assist in drawing on the
soil for nourishment. / have seen potatoes
p!owed when they had already gone into bios
SONS in such cases they had better be left
altogether without p!owing.

To RAISE William Aidridge of
Goreland, lad, writing to the Prairie Farm,
err" states that having noticed how potatoes
were interrupted in their growth, and invara-
bly, pned away and died if disturbed and
bruised when wet with dew or rain, he selected
patch Of potato field, the whole of which
was good soil and in good order to try all ex-
pertinent. This patch he only lloyed once
and then lo0Sened The soil with the hoe when
the vines were above ground, and in the heat
OF the day when they were perfectly dry. He
never touched them afterward until they were
dug in October last year These vines kept
green throughout the season, and the yield of
potatoes was very large The other portion
OF this same potato Geld was purpoSey worked
three times, when the vines were wet with dew
These blighted early, did not produce half a
crop, and the potatoes were of a very inferior
quality. The ground, seed and time of plant
ing in both patches were the same
