Growing Potatoes Under Straw.

Having seen in the agricultural journals,
more than twenty years ago, reports Of extra
ordinary success in raising potatoes by cover
ing them with straw | was induced to try
small experiment, which l will relate for the
benefit Of some of your readers:
A plat in my garden about fifty feet square
Of wel.manured clayey loan, spaded up and
made fine and smooth. 1t was then marked
out in shallow drills two feet and half apart,
and potatoes (of the pink-eye variety planted
whole two feet apart in the drills, and barely
covered with earth. The whole patch was
then covered with light, dry wheat straw,
which had been very much broken by its pas
sage through q thrashipg machine, and the
same spread lightly and evenly with pitch
fork to the depth Of about two feet. Several
showers occurred soon after the potatoes were
planted, which settled the straw very eonsid-
erably. and in due time the vines came up
through the straw, aud soon covered the
entire sutface with the rankest vegetation.
Nothing more was done to the patch till
the viues were killed by frost 10 autumn.
Not weed appeared among them. At the
usual time of digging potatoes the dead vines
were oil pulled and removed then with a
potato fork, the layer of straw-which was
pretty well rotted, and not more than four or
five inches in thicliness--was carefully reno
we'd. 10 my great surprise, there 10y the
potatoes on the surface, literally cocering the
ground, and almost as clean as if they had
been washed. They were picked up and
measured, but the quantity do not remem-
Der. This much however, / well recollect
that l never raised so coed crop by any
other mode of culture. They were of very
uniform size, and Of good quality.-S. Mosher,
Latonia Springs Ky.

JOSEY'S BABY.

Sister Josey's got baby,
(She is but q child herself)
And the baby is a bright eysd,
Laughing, crying, little elf.
Well l mind the April morning
was scarcely five years old
Addic came with smile and gladness,
And wondrous tale she told.
How o tiny, pretty creature,
To our mothers arms was given
How q white.winged angel brought it
From its happy home in Heaven.
Mother called our baby Josey,
And she was our pet and pride,
No one thought Of scolding Josey,
When she pouted, frowned, or cried
Only think how years crowd round US
Bringing trouble, bringing change
Now that baby's got baby
Bless me amt it very strange?
Such precious, winning darling,
Eyes Of softest, darkest gray,
Cheeks were blushing-cunning d;mples
Play bo-peep the livelong day,
You should hear him laughing gayly,
Cooing like little dove
If you were tie cross-est fellow
Josey's baby you would love.
