Planting Potatoes.

There is generally considerable difference
Of opinion in regard to the size OF the pota-
toes to be planted, but from experience rec
ommend large potatoes or seed, as think
larger crop will be obtained, as general
thing, and larger, finer potatoes in all cases;
but anothc. reason is, that small potatoes
throw up quantity of small, soft stems,
which arc more liable to get injured, and
never grow as well as larger ones. 1t has
been proved By good authority that much
larger crop Of potatoes may be produced by
planting sells. than by planting whole pota'
toes; this shows, therefore, that too much
feshy matter is injurious to the formatian Of
tubers.
1t is a curious fact, but nevertheless true,
that the eyes from the extremity, or seed
end of the potato will produce crops which
will come to maturity at least two weeks
earlier than those from the root end, and
where persons wish to get an early crop of
potatoes, those are the only ones that should
be used Three pieces, with two eyes on
each pieca, is always enough seed for one hill.
Plant the roA 5 three feet apart, and the hills
not more than two and one.half feet. This
will allow ploughiug, or cultivating one way,
and is as far as economy will allow.
There is 10 manure, or fertilizer, that can
be applied 10 pc atees with as good success
as Peruvian guano, and good farm manure
ranks second best. Plaster may about as
well bethrown away, as to be applied to po'
tatocs with an expectation of greatly incress.
ing the crop. Where potatoes arc planted
on wet ground, there should not be very
great quantity of manure OF any kind APP
piled, unless the ground is very poor, as 1t
makes them much more liable to rot; but
they should always be planted on dry ground,
if It is to be had. There is no green plant
that cnriches the land equal to red clover

The Care Of Harness

/ ather is seldom injured by being vet,
if lung up to dry, instead Of being left in
mass on the floor or in corner, where the
drying is so slow as to create mould. For
general use harness should be fairly oiled,
and for this purpose either pure neat's-foot
oil should be used, or the article known by
the curriers' as daubing' and this should
he rubbed in while the leather is moist, but
not wet
The harness should be wrapped up il a
vet cloth one day before the application Of
d4ubing or meats foot oil this should be
rubbed on smartly with brush for a sufi-
ccnt length Of time to insure its entrance
into The leather rather than leave it upon
its immediate surface. If the leather be
positively dry, this substance cannot eater,
and therefore the necessity Of its being moist
and plant at the time Of application
Varuish should never be applied; it fills
the pores, and prevents the necessary access
Of air, causing the leather to become crisp
aad rigid, and in a short space Of time it is
rendo ed tender, causing il to crack, break
sc.
Before applying any oily substance t,
leather, all dirt should DO thoroughly removed
from its surface, and no other material than
lamp.black should ever be mixed with oil,
where it is necessary to blacken the leather.
Shoe .blackirg is sometimes used, and alwcys
with injurious effect it frequently contains
saphuric acid, which when brought in con
tact with leather, rapidly Destroy it.
Where the leather is very dry, as with
boots and shoes, the injury from this cause is
not 50 great. Vegetable oils should never
lie applied to harness of any kinds, for after
a while they harden the leather and destroy
its usefulness. Leather curtains should
never be vanished, but always kept perfectly
plant by very moderate and frequent applli-
cation OF the oils We have named.

A Plea For The Birds.

Hon. Samuel \. Law, Of Meredith, in this
state, and for the last three years member Of
Assembly from Delaware County, has written
communication upon the act Of last winter,
one section Of which forbids the killing at
any time Of the nightengaIe, night hawk,
blue bird, yellow bird, Baltimore oriolc, finch
thrush, lark, sparrow, martin, swallow, robin
or boboink, between the first day Of Febru-
airy and the first day Of September, under
penalty of fifty cents for each bird killed.
The reason for the passage Of this law, he
states to be the agency Of these birds in pro-
venting the increase Of noxioas insects. 1t
has been urged that the robin vas 50 distruc-
tive to cherries and Strawberries, as 10 jus.
tity its Obstruction. This opinion Prof. j.
w. p. jerks Of Niddeboro', Massachusetts
has successfully refutc1. The plan adoMed
by him was, TO obtain birds at daybrcak, aud
mid day and sunset TO obtain them from
village and country and to preserve the
contents Of their yards He demonstrated
concusiyely that insects injurious to vegifa.
ton, constitute the natural and preferred food
Of the robin, aud that during two.thirls of
the year the bird takes no vegetable food
whatever. Whenever vegetable food was
found in the body, it was only in Limited
quantities and mixed with insect food This
was only in the aonths Of june July. Au.

stroycd were in too mioute quantities to war;

MANURE MAxIMs.--At late meeting Of
the Farmers Club Of the American Institute,
Mr., 7. W. Field read paper on manures,
in which he said
The whole subject of manurcs may be stated
in this proposition
/ Manure does not waste so long as it is
unfcrmented or uudissoycd, and these condi-
tions may be effected by drying or saturation.
2. Fresh manure is unfit for food for plants.
3. Fermcnting manure, in contact with
inert matter, has the power of neutralizing
vicious properties, such as the tanic acid Of
peat, and making it fertilizer.
4. Manure wastes in two ways--t| C escape
Of gas and the dissolying of its soluble salts.
.. The creative power Of manure, mixed
with other substances, is capable Of multiply
ing its value many times.
8. The value OF manure to crops is in pro
portion to its divisibiIity through the soil.
The golden rule of farming should be small
quantities of manure thoroughly divided and
intermiugled with the SOIL Country Gen.

While travelling in the Southern portion Of

ter, VT, learned that Mr. Holt, Of that
town, had q real Vermont horse. | called
to see him, and was richly paid for my trou.
bic His color is black, and he staria some
sixteen hands in height, and probably weighs
some eleven hundred pounds. He is said to
be a cross of the Morgan with the Magnum
Bonum, but we should judge from his lofty
bearing, and peculiar neck and shoulders
that the blood Of the Messenger horse cours.
ed through his veins. His stock is now
being rated among the hrst-class Vermont
horses. 4 span Of his colts sold in Boston
a while since for over two thousand dollars,
aud others have sold for high figures, The
horse evidently possesses great power and
merit, and if in some hands, would have a
reputation not surpassed by any OF the State.
Mr.. Holt is farmer, and has taken no pains
to call his property into public notice. If
some of your readers should chance to travel
10 the section, who have any fancy to be
gratfed by horse flesh they would not re-
greet the trouble required to sec one of Yer
moat's best horses. \ TRAVELLER.

butter Is reduced to two or three minutes.

comes at once. The truth Of the statement
