factory The same individual had grown
them there for several years, procuring
seed and plants from Southern Ohio.
The sweet potatoes carried into the
northern states for table use are often in
iured hy long carriage and exposure, and
many persons who have eaten of these
badly cooked, in inexperience have pro-
nounoed them ''about as good as frozen
Irish potato !" and conclnde that the
sweet potato is not tit to be eaten
They may be baked or boiled-we pre-
fer the former. A good way is to boil
till nearly .done,' then pieee them in the
oven to flush, which will make them dry,
The main thing is to have them cook
quickly. Our folks make excellent pics
of them, much in the same manner as
pumpkin pies; they prefer sugar for
IsEeetenlng, aud use one egg for two pies
We never get tired of having sweet pota-
toes on the table-they are the favorite
dish the year round
The sweet potato is propagated by plac-
ing the tubers in hot-beds during the
month of April, with three or four inches
of loose rich soil over them. The plants
are pulled from the tubers about the time
the first leaves have attained full size,
which takes three or four weeks general

condition of the beds and weather.
This mode Of starting them is neeessa-
ry on account Of our growing season be-

tivity. The ground for them is prepared
into hills or ridges, Eve prefer the latter

it better to procure plants from points

those experienced to go to almost any
point in the northern states where rail
roads and expresses will carry them-the
charge generally comparatively small.
Northerners, try this luxury. Success
and qualification will be the result Any
soil that will produce corn well, except
that which is too rich in vegetable mould,
will produce sweet potatoes. the latter

From the Country Gentleman.
The sweet Potato at the North.

There are thousands in the northern
states who would be glad to raise this lux
u-ious esculent for their own table, had
they the evidence that it could be done,
aud without an unreasonable expense
They have generally supposed that its
culture must be confined to the warm eli
mate and long seasons of the South
There is its home, but BY being gradually
accllmated, it has finally found It's way
into the appreclatipg hands and grounds
of the northerner. During the past two
or three years the efforts to introduce it
into New York and New England, as well
as the northwestern states, have been de-
cidedly progressive The results of these
experiments have generally been quite
satisfactory-Aattering to the experiment.
ers. Many are now so well satisfied Of
the successful culture of the sweet potato
among them, that they are plating
growing them on more extended scale
in future, for marketing.
The sweet potato, as now cultivated in
New Jersey, Northern Virginia, Ohio,
&c, IS quite different from bhose ol Ihe
Carolinas, Indies, &C., being acclimated
TO the northern climate, The variety
which has proved 10 be the best adapted
to the North is called the ''Nansemond,
from the county in Virginia whence it
was taken to New Jersey, &c. The south
ern or Carolina tubers are unfit for the
North for seed even at Cincinnati they
are never tried but once.
The Nansemond has the quality Of be-
ing good for table use at any period of its
growth--a peeuliarity. We believe this
variety to be superior to others for the
North, in every respect. Persons who
have tried this with Others have inyarla.
