PLANTING POTATOES

big, and the but end, by all means"
says one. "Cut potatoes, if you want to
sconomize," says another. cit is of no
consequence" says third. "They will
rot any way" says fourth.
There is great variety of practice
which shows that this very useful vegeta.
Bile will bear more abuse than almost any
other crop grown upon the farm. The
writer has tried almost all methods and
has settled down upon whole patatoes, an
inch to an inch and a.half in diameter, as,
on the whole, the most desirable for seed,
taking into account the immediate crop
and the future welfare of the tubers. II
we look merely at tho immediate crop,
we can doubtless get more from given
amount of seed, to cut them into single
eyes, than TO plant them whole. But we
have very strong suspicion that this cut
ting weakens the stomina of the plant, and
if followed up with any variety for long
series of years would run it out We
ought to follow such method, if we can
discover it, as we'll keep the plant in the
highest health, and make the crop sure and
remunerative.
We have grown good potatoes from the
smallest seed, half inch or less in dame
ter, but it was only upon very rich soil and
with extra care. The objections to using
large potatoes whole, are the extra expense
for seed, as it requires from twelve to tif.
teen bushels to the acre, and the over stock
ing of every hill tending to produce great
many small potatoes. The medium size
removes these objections, furnishes just
about seed enough, stocks the hills sufi,
oiently, and preserves the health of the
plant. This practice we have followed for
several years, and On the whole it gives the
best results.
If we admit the theory to be correct on
which the practice is founded, it would not
follow that it would ia every case preserve
the crop from disease. Almost every va
riety has beed subject to cutting and to
disease for many years, and no one can be
perfectly sure that he plant sonnd heal.

BILE. If the constitution has been weak
ened in any way it is much more likely to
be Injured by the hot, wet weather of Au.
gust, than strong plant would be. The
universal prevalence of the rot is probably
owing quite as much to the treatment Of
seed, as to soil and climate influences.

CoRN FOR FAMILY Use Table corn,
which is usually furnished by the garden,
should be planted at intervals of about two
weeks until Goth of June. The first crop
should be Adams extra ear which should
be put in by the Goth of April; the second
and all subsequent crops, shoala be of the
variety known as Stewell's Evergreen
which we have often refereed to in terms
of commendation in these COLUMNS. Plant
the first crop of this about the 9Th Of May
and let it be followed by another crop
every fifteen days. We have tried nearly
all the recommended varieties of sugar
corn, but after ten or twelve years expe.
rience we prefer 6towells Evergreen,
always taking care thatthe genuine variety
is planted From the time the first pot OF
boiling corn is obtained up to pretty sharp
frost, we have a daily supply.-German-

Springs, the main portion OF the army was
encsmped eight miles south Of that place, in the
vicinity Of Waterford. The army stores have
been K pt at Oxford, awaiting 3 permanent loca-
tioi fr the army, and these will now be sent

succeeded in driving in a portion Of our cavalry
on outpost beyond Coldwster. General Penn

council, aud the evacuation was determined
upon and marching orders issued at 8 P. u and
at ab ut 10 o'clock our troops took up the line
of march, aud the succeeding day reached the
desired position, which is an excellent one in
every respect. being well intrenched aud capable
of fae defensive operations. Should our army
not advance, they will 90 into winter quarters
where they are now eneamPed. Headquarters
will be established stthis place, which is midway
between Oxford and Holly Springs.

Holly Springs and the enemy had not advanced
upon the place, though our forces had been with.
