Tan Bark as a Manure.

A correspondent of the Rural Ncw
.Yorker, gives the following result of his
experience with tan bark as a manure:
AS I have had some experience with
'tan-bark asa manure, purpose, to give
it. Having a farm near an old tannely,
and being in want of manure, I purchased
the tan-bark (the accumulation of years.

farm--myl neighbors in the meantime
laughing at my folly. I spread it upon
grass land, three to four inches deep,
where the grass was nearly run out, or at
best gave but half a crop. The tan was
drawnsir the fall aud winter. I also put
on landaintende1 for spring wheat, often
half to a whole load in one place. [

Now for the result. Where I cut hess

the next seasen-and it was nearly twice
.as high as before, reaching up to my
horses sides when cutting. The next
season not as large, nor any time, after,
but we'll paid for carting. On the field
for wheat it was full pne fonrth larger, and
better filled. Where half to whole
load was put in q place L. could see diff
ference in the wheat ten rods off, and even
more. The next crop was winter wheat,
sown in the fall after spring wheat was
taken off. I could see where the tan was
put in heaps readily, in passing the field.
When cut we had onerfourth more shocks
than we had where no tan was put; straw
brighter and much better filled. Did it
pay? Would like to draw again.

How to Raise Potatoes.

A report in the Springfield Repub-

potato raising: 7a7yuv1 ~ ii'T
m, One Of the party, large grower Of po-
tatoes, and who has at present about ! 500
bushels in store, gave his experience, as
follows: He prefers corn ground that has
been nanured the year previous. Strong
manure, he said, makes diseased potatoes.
After ploughing unmanured ground, he
marks out the rows, four, at time. In
these rows he drops single pieces of cut
potatoes, eighteen inches apart. A medi-
um seized potato is enough for four hills,
or about six bushels of seed to the acre.
Large seed potatoes give about oDe-fourth
more product at harvest than small ones
Small potatoes have about as many eyes
as large ones, but the sprouts from those
eyes are not as large or vigorous. The
potatoes are covered about two inches
deep. -.
The potato yegetates slowly, and usual
ly weeds start before the potatoes. When
the potatoes have sprouted SO as general

who we're extremely anxious to see
home once more, also pledged them
selves to so vote, il. they could be al
lowed TO return and see their friends.
One, by The name Of Randall, hav.
ing a sick mother at Donnelsonville,
and wishing 10 see her once more
ere she should pass from earth, begged
for furlo1gh, as a starving child
would beg for bread ; and at last, when
all other means had failed, consented
to pledge himself TO vote for Bucking-
ham. He came home /; saw his dying
mother; went toKiIlingly town meet

The eyes that look with love on thee,
That brighten with thy smile,
Or merely bid thee hope again,
Ii thou art sad awhile;
The eyes that when nc words are breathed
Gaze fondly into thine
Oh, cherish them, ere they grow dim,
They may not always shine.
The faithful hearts around thee now,
That glow with love ard youth,
That time and care ne'er yet have scared,
Nor ravished of their truth
The heart whose beatings we have heard
When throbbing near our own
Oh, cherish them those bsatings hushed,
Earth's dearest tones are gone.
The days when there are hearts and eyes
That throb and beam for thee;
The few fleet hours when life doth seem
Bright as summer sea:
