CUTTING OFF Tors TO PREvEEr PorArt
RoT.---G. p. Serviss, of Glenn; Mont.
Co., N. Y, has been experimenting with
potatoes to considerable extent, and
writes to the Country Gentleman, in con.
frmation Of previous statements, the fols
lowing:
a had, in 1861, about d quarter Of
an acre of June potatoes, planted on ycl-
low loan ground. They grew finely, and
had far advanced to maturity, when l dis.
covered their tops began to be diseased,
[ Immediately took scythe and cut of
the tops of all the rows, excepting Two
near the center of the piece. One Of the
latter | left in the state nature had form.
ed it. The other l pulled the tops BY
hand, leaving the tubers in the ground.
Now for the result. At digging time in
the Fall, found the tubers in those rows
that had their tops cut off and the row
that had its tops pulled off Of equal size,
and as near as | could judge, had an equal
number of rotten tubers in o row, and
they were but few. The row that was
left as nature had formed it. had about
four times as many rotten tubcrs as either
of the rows that had their tops cut of. OF
the one that had its tops pulled off by
hand Not only that, but the tubers that
were not injured were no larger than the
tubers were in the former rows thus
showing, conclusively, that they had not
grown any after their tops became diseas-
ed, and that it would have been better to
have had their tops cut off. thereby check.
ing the disease before it extended to the
tubers.
Some farmers recommend digging inn
mcdiately after the tops begin to show
signs of the disease. But l prefer cut.
ting their tops and leaving the tubers in
the ground till quite late in the Fall, for
two reasons. First, they keep their ia.
vor better than they would if exposed to
the air. Second, there are sometimes ta.
bers that have been inoculated with the
disease. which cannot be discovered If
dug Immediately, and if put in the cellar.
or in heaps in this way, will cause the dc.
struction of many tubers that were free

PUMPKINS ALONE AND AMONG CORN
Doubtless thousands of the re lders of the
1griculturiS regard the corn field as the
only place for raising pumpkins. But,
however little the harm that pumpkins do
the corn-and we believe that in good sea:
son they produce a quantity Of food which
much more than connter-balances the evil
which they may do-they will yield much
larger and finer product if planted by
themselves. Putting the hills 8 feet apart,
two or three good shovefuls of we'll roited
manure being dropped on the surface and
covered by u little earth, the pumpkins
will luxuriatc in unobstructed sunshine
and upon the fat of the land and when
Autumn strips the lcafy covering under
which they hide, golden harvest will bd
disclosed which will do ones heart good.
Low growing, small stalked varieties of
corn do not essentially interfere with the
ripenng of good crops Of pumpkins: But
if planted with corn they should in no wise
interfere with the thorough culture of the
corn. A good plan is to drop seed in
every other hill, in alternate rows, and il
is very important to secure good seed!
The medium size. round dark orange col
orcl, fine grained varieties are best. and
usually the earliest, most prolific, and the
best keepers. The cheese pumpkins is pre-.
ferabe for family use or for market.

Under the Snow.
BY GENERAL +. W. LANDER.


The spring had tripped and lost her flowers,
The summer saunteTed through the guides
The wounded feet of autumn hours
Left ruddy footprints on the blades.
Aud all the elories of the woods
Had flung their shadowy silence down.
When, wilder than the storm it broods,
She fled before the winters troWn.
For urs sweet spring had lost its flowers,
She fell, and passions tongucs of fame
Ran reddcaing through the hlushing flowers,
Now haggard as her naked shame.
One secret thought her soul had screened,
when prying matrons sought her wrong,
And Blame Stalked on. mouthing iicud,
And Knocked her as she fled along.
And now she bore its weight nloof
To hide it where one gAastly birch
Held up the rafters of the roof,
And grim old pine trees formed church.
Twas there her spring time vows were sworn,
And there upon It's frozen sod.
Where wintry midnight rcigncd forlorn.
She knelt, and held her hands to God.
The cautious creatures of the air
Looked out from many secret place,
10 see the embors OF despair
Flush the gray ashes OF her face.
And where the last weeks snow had caught
The grey beard OF cypress limb,
She heard the music of thought
More sweet than her own childhools hymn.
For rising in that cadence low,
With Now | lay me down TO Sleep.
Her mother rocked her TO aud fro.
And prayed the Lord her soIl Ia keep.
And still her prayer was humhly roised.

To martial music OF the pines.
And TO her cold hearts mui.led beat
Wheeled gtandly uto so.e...n LINES.
And still. ns if her secrets woe
No mortal words had ever found.
The DYING sinner drapcd in SNOW
Held up her pTaler without sound.

HINTS ON CABBAGE GRowINd.-A fail.
urc of this crop is common from the dis
case called anbury," or " fingers and
toes :" the roots swell, and after time
rot off new roots are often sent out which
keep the plant alive, and give hopes of
success. But the disease soon reaches tho
new roots, and after hard struggle the
plant dies, or starts too late to make .
good head. Fortunately, this most des.
tructivc disease shows itself by the time
the plants are large enough to be set, and
where the roots show the least tendency
to swelling, the plants should be rejected
at once. The grand remedy of the cab.
bage growers who supply our large veg.
etablc market is, never to plant the same
piece of ground with this crop two years
in succession. The cabbage is more sem
sitiye than most other plants to feeding
upon its own decay. For this reason, un-
usual care should be taken in preparing
hotbeds for starting plants. If the same
soil has been used for starting plants the
year before, it will be likely to impart the
disease to the young plants:

Stanton and Mcclellan.

Much has been written and spoken
with regard to the interference of Mr.
Stanton, Secretary of War, with the
plans Of Gen. McGIellan-whether truly
or falsely we can only judge from reports
as they come, although the papers which
pcrsistcntly prefer these charges have not
the credit Of any too much loyalty to say
the least. We see no just reason for ere
ating furor over these questionable re-
ports. Gen. Mcclellan is doing nobly,
and seems abundantly able to cope with
the enemy, ana we doubt not that Sccre-
tary Stanton, as well as every other truly
loyal man rcjoccs in his success, notwith-
standing dark insinuations from certain
quarters to the contrary. We notice Il
letter in the Boston Journal, Of Weancs-
day, from Gen. Wilson, which throws
some light on this question, The letter
was written to Gen. John s. Tyler, OF
Boston, in answer to enquiries upon the
subject. We copy the first and closing
paragraphs, which refer particularly to
the subject, and will silence much Of the
croakings of the Boston Courier and kin
dred sheets. General Wilson says:

DEAR SIR II have this day received
your note, in which yoa say that it is re-

of War, Mr. Sumner, myself and others
are interfering with General McCIellan's
military plans. am sure Mr.. Sumner
in no way, directly or indirectly, has in-
teritrcd or attempted to Interfere with
any of General McClelan's military
plans, or with the plans of any other
General in the field. Mr.. Stanton enter
ed the War office at time Of anxiety
anl gloom when the most thoughtful men
Of the country were oppressed with solic-
itudc concerning the condition OF the
country. Mr.. Stanton carried into the
War office industry, zeal and an iron
will, actuatcd by an intense and vche-
ment desire to promptly crush out this
rebellion. lie pressed upon all, in both
the military and civil service, the impor-
tancc of prompt and decisive action. He
may have committed some errors, but
am sure he has done intentional injustice
to mono. | DO not know that he has ever
intcrtercd with any Of the plans of Cen
cral Mcclellan, but do know that he
has laborcd with unaagging zeal to place
all the resources of the Government at
the disposal Of General Mcclellan and
our other military commanders. | be-
lieve Edwin NJ. Stanton deserves, not the
censure, but the gratitude of all men who
would promptly suppress this unhallowcd
rebellion
have never interfered, either directly
or indirectly, with the plans of General
Mcclellan, or any other OF our military
commanders, nor has the military COM
mittee or any of the members Of that
committee SO intcrfcred. The military
committee, composed of four Republicans
and three Democrats, is now and has
been unit in regard to military affairs.
The members of the committee may have
their opinions in regard to men and oper-
ations in the field, and as individuals
they may have canvassed the acts of mil
itary men with that freedom with which
American citizens and legislators may
canvass the acts of public men in civil
and military life, but they have not in
committee, or in the Senate, or elsewhere
attempted in any way to Interfere with
the plans Of military commanders, or to
advise Congress or the Goverernment to
interfere with those plans. I"
