A dish of new, mealy potatoes, about
the middle of June, is not to be despised.
They are good upon the table, and by
no means bad in the barrel, on their way
to lively market, At one to two dollars
. busheI, and upwards. There is diff.
ference of . month or two in the time re-
quired by different varieties to mature.
This fact is often overlooked by farmerp,
aud they continue planting only the late
sorts, and have no new potatoes until
August. Early varieties are first es-
sential in getting an early harvest. The
Mercer or Chenango will mature in
about twelve weeks, and with forcing, in
ten. 1t is not so apt to rot when forced,
as when planted late. The early Sow
ereign, Carpenter, Studley's Seeding,
Wendell's Seeding, Dykman, and the
early June, require still shorter season,
say from six to twelve days. In almost
every section of the country there are
early potatoes. probably quite a. good as
any OF these.
There are several methods Of hasten.
ing their maturity. A favorite method
with the German market gardeners is,to
bring the seed potatoes in barrels into q
warm room, about the first of March,
The eyes start rapidly, and in about two
or three weeks they are ready to plant.
Another method, which We have prac-
ticed for some years, is to start the DO.
tatoes in a gentle hot-bcd, about the
middle Of March. The tubers arc cut in
halves, and laid flat side down upon the
bed, - thick as they Can be placed
They are then covered with about two
inches of garden mold, and the sashes
are put over them. As soon a. they are
up two or three inches, they are ready
to transplant. They should be removed
carefully, separating the roots with as
little breaking as possible, and put in the
drills where they arc to grow. As they
do not yield full crop under this treat
ment, they can be planted closer, than
in common field culture, say in drills
thirty inches apart, putting the hills
twelve inches apart in the drill.
A warm, sandy loan, sIoping to the
south or southeast, should be selected
for this crop. 1t should be well manur-
ed with horse dung, about halt of it ap.
Piled in the drills. Some manure their
grounds for early potatoes in the Fall,
and this is, We think, good plan for
that part ofthe manure which is applied
broadcast. Fresh horse dung in tho
drills raises the temperature Of the soil,
and haaters their growth.
RxxARK.-To the above, written by
one of our associates, we will add that
we have succeeded we'll on small scale.
thus: Two or three weeks before the
time when 1t will probably do to plant
out, take pieces Of turf or sod, say four
to Eve inches square, and put piece OF
potato in each. These arc set closely TO-
gsther whore they can be vatered u

BmW O&AVne
On the eth inst bill providing 70,
the establishment OF a Commissioner o
immigration for the State of Iowa in
New York, was brought to the third
reading.
The object Of this movement is to in
duce emigration to this State, and it is
thought that it can DO done in no better
manner than to have . man constantly
in New York City, who'e business it
will be to circulate among emigrauts re-
liable information Of the superior ad-
vantages and inducements for settlers to
come hithe. and locate. We believe that
the experiment has been tried 10 several
Western States, and with the most
pleasing results. 1t is q fact to which
the attention of the people cannot be too
generally directed, that there ia great
need OF healthy immigration to this
State, and if the proper exertions are
made, and through tho proper channel,
the tide can easily be set in this direc-
ton. We have a State that is unsur-
passed 10 the Union for the richness OF
its soil and general advantages, but it is
not to be supposed that emigrants from
the old country know this fact, or that
they will find it out Immediately upon
landing, unless some exertions are made
to direct their attention to the matter.
While Wisconsin, Illinois and Mnneso-
ia have Commissioners located in New
York, who arc constantly using e1er-
tons to direct the tide Of emigration to
those States, why should not Iowa make
use of the same means! The question
arises, will it pay! Have tho States
which have tried the experiment been
reimbursed for their trouble! Have
they realized any profit from such
action! The official reports of Wis
consin show the following facts: Wis.
consin with her Commissioner in the
city Of New York to look after cmi-
grants, seceived during eleven months
l0,757 foreigners, with cash to the
amount Of Sl,o45,6Gl,3 s. Hero is an
emigration that is fiattering, and at the
same time an influx Of money into the
State, the taxes upon which would
amount to pretty sum. During the
same number of months, Iowa, without
any Commissioner, aud though she is a
tar better State, received only 1856 for
eigners, and with them only S243,335.-
40; or 5000 emigrants less than Wis
censin, and $797,325,ss less money
than that State These data alone are
convincing proof that Commissioner
should be sent from this State to New
York, to act for the State in the matter
Of securing emigration. Indeed, it seems
that it mnst be done in selfdefence. i'll
nothing more. Our people cannot afford
to remain idle, relying upon our sube-
rior natural advantages, to lure foreign
en hither. They know but little or
nothing about the matter, and will not,
unless proper exertions are made to in
form them. Let it be done.

ARRANGEMENTS are being made in all
quarters by those who intend taking a
part in or being present at the Charles
ton Convention. Congress will, of
course, adjourn, or agree to do no bust
ness during the sessions of that impor-
taut body. 1t is supposed that two
weeks will be required, counting the
time Of going ana coming, and that to
be consumed by the deliberations Of the
Convention; then the Republicans will
assemble at Chicago, which will, of
course, compel another adjournment;
so that, unless the represe natives of the

little will be done during the first session
