A Worthy EXEnsplC.

A few days ago, Mr.. VIM. Baker, Of Carr's Corners,
between Empire City and st. Paul, called upon US and
exhibited s, me Potatoes he raised last season. Among
tLtm wore two kinds, enc called the Carter and the
e,ltr Tic Western Red the former has a tin, smooth,
white skin, excellent for baking the other for boi:.
ing is unsu, passed by anything in the country. Mr..
Baker has not, like too many farmers, overlooked the
in p,,tance of security good seed, even for his potato
crop, aud ~ his exertions and experiments be can raise
almost double the amount Of potatoes Of the hap-hazard
sort, and Away be sure of a first rate article. The
two kinds he raised, referred to above, seem specially
adapted to this soil and climate. Every six hills Of the
Carter yielded a bushel, and every eight a bushel of
Reds, all large, II pea,irg as if assorted. Of the best
raised hy lin and lis neig Lbo's, it took twelve hills of
The mcshannocks to yield a bushel, and twenty hills Of
some other sorts-.mall and large together. All these
kinds were raised under the same circumstances of soil
and culture and the same result happened with the
expc, iments of his n%eighbors. i
Mr.. Baker is one of those farmers who takes delight
in seeing others proper he wishes all to enjoy the
benefit of his lators, and believes, as VIC do with him,
that Ills info, maticn is worth thousands Of dollars to
the county, to say nothing Of the rest Of the State. He
made a saving Of City dollars with this new seed on
two acres only, which is some proof for this belief.
We know how much depends on the nature of the
soil in raising different varieties ; and it may be that
another variety might do better elsewhere. But we have
noticed that little care-none' at all, in facts given to
the seed potato by nine Out of ten persons. If they
want new seed, their next neighbours crop was good last
year, they will try it this or a certain kind is said to be
good, and they buy where cheapest, of that sort, and get
a medley of poor mixed secd-and SO it keeps on. But
don't they all yield we'll? What Of that? Why not do
