nea- New England is beginning to
howl. Wendell Philips, in a late
speech at Boston, said that eighteen
months hence the West will desert tho
East, and join her natural ally, who
holds the mouth of the Mississippi
Phillips intimates if the Democracy
succeeds there is danger of an alliance
among twenty States, leaving New
England out in the cold. Commenting
on the speech Of Phillips, the New York
Mercury says:
w believe that the last army that
the North will ever laise and put in the
field in this war, is now in tho field,
and that it must conquer the rebellion
or fail. Fit fails, then a dissolution of
the old Union will be un tait accompi,
and in that event six States of New
England will find themselves left alone
in their glory, and we are quite as sure
that no confederation of States, of
which she is a part, can ever exist in
peace, ha mony and prosperity on this
continent.

reported to us by person well qualified
10 judgd of such matters, as being very
successful Carefully shell the peas, then
put them in tin canisteas, not too large
ones put in a small piece of alum, about
he size of horse-bean, TO pint Of peas.
When the canister is full of peas, fill up
the lnterstices with water, and solder OH
the lid perfectly air tight, and boil the
canisters for about twenty minutes then
remove them to cool place, and they will
be found in January but little inferior to
fresh, newly gathered peas. Bottllng is
not SO good at least we have not found
it so the air gets in, the liquid turns sour,
and the peas acquire bad taste.

EFFECT OF SHADE On SOILS.

EFFECT OF SHADE ON SOILS,
r. G. Kendall, in a late communication
10 the American Farmer, maintains that
darkness favors the deposit of nitrate Of
potash in the soil, which is one Of the
causes of the fertility produced by shade
but he holds that moro important in
Auence is cxered by the earth-worm.-
Mr.. Kendall says:
But this chemical combination and de.
posit is the avant courier Of more pow.
erlul fertilizing agent that works oxclu-
sively under the cover Of total darkness.
This is the common earth worm. These
industrious manipulators Of the soil shun
sunshine and the broad glare of day; but
give them dark corner, shaded nook,
the cover Of fiat stone, plank, or heap
Of rubbish, and their labor incessant, iu-
defatigable, and most efficient as ferial-
izing agent Cover over a bit of sterile
earth with a plank so as to exclude the
light and exclude moisture, and within a
month there is a manifestation Of the pres
enco oil nitre where the closest chemical
test could have detected none before -
Within another month comes the army of
subterranean sappers and miners boring
the whole surface soil 20 the depth Of q
foot, into millions of holes, passing every
particle oft through their long, flexible
organism, and leaving in their excretion
a compost beyond the power Of human
skill to equal. Under the administration
of these wonderful workers in the dark.
ness, in the space Of two years, the hard
packed sterile ground, has been thoroughly
cut up as was ever an unpainted, wooden
bottomed ship by the terredo, after three
months inactivity in the waters of Tampa
Bay. By the agercy and industry of
these wiggling, automatic Jethrow Tulls,
the whole organic structure of the dark
cned surface has been changed both in
qauntty and complexion. From a pale,
barren and baked hard pan, it has become
light, porous, dark-colored soil, rich in
all the elements Of vegetable life.

GATHERING POTATOES.

There is time which is the fttest and
best in which to perform any kind of work
where the elements, seasons or nature
have anything to do with it. Gathering
potatoes is one Of that kind. When should
it be done Manifestly as soon as they
are ripe, and ordinarily this will be in
about four months and half from the
time the seed is covered in the ground
Alter the potato is ripe, there is 10 reason
why it should remain in the ground and
certainly, since it cannot increase their
size or goodness by deferring gathering,
the sooner it is harvested the less danger
will rise from heavy rains and while the
soil is dry the more easily it can be taken
from the earth. But there is an import
ant consideration connected with this
The earlier the potato is dug, the better
opportunity there is to destroy the rank
weeds that have sprung up since the last
hoeing. In digging, care should be taken
W oesIroJ all tHe heduS-uuu uOluS tnlS
and eye should be had for the next season.
The potato tops and all the weeds should
be buried as you pass along in digging
Dig hill of potatoes, leaving the hill
open to receive the top weeds; then take
the earth from the next hill back to cover
the tops and weeds thus desposited. In
this way you are destroying at least one
half of the seeds of weeds before they ma
ture, and are adding to your ground a
valuable manuring for the coming season.
And when your lot is dug over in this
way, it looks clean and farm like, and
you have done as good service to the lots
as one good plowghing would be, and bet.
ter. This mode of harvesting would sug-
gest the practicable planting Of the potato,
that its harvesting may be made earlier.
And the earlier it is harvested, we feel
satisfied, the better for the health and
cleanliness Of the soil and the more profit
