nips than half ton of bones. But will it
last as long? 1t is absurd to suppose so.
fit is a really good article-in other words,
if all the ins oluble phosphate OF the bones
is converted into soluble phosphate-it will
be all used up the first year. If only apor-
ton of the bones is converted into soluble
phosphate, it will produce less effect, but
will last longer. If it is a very inferior ar
ticle--ifit is little better than ground bones
it will be nearly as permanent" as bone
dust.
The advantage of ofsuperphosphate as COM
pared with bones, is that you get much
greater effect in given time. You apply
it to a crop and get the whole effect (if "a
good article) the first year. And this crop,
if consumed on the farm, will make manure
for the subsequent crops. In this sense,
superphosphate is permanent manure. Its
effects will be seen on the farm five, ten,
twenty, or hundred years hence--provid-
ed you use the crops, as all good farmers
do to make manure and enrich the land

SWEET POTATOES AT THE NORTH.

Having for many years entertained the
opinion that sweet potatoes could be sue
cessfully grown at the North, | sent last
spring to person who has supplied the
public for many years, to forward me plants
enough for one-quarter of an acre. On re-
ceiving these plants | found that they had
been, from accident or otherwise, exposed
to wet, and consequently were so damaged
by rotting as to be entirely worthless. \
few of the best were selected and planted,
not one of which lived. then sent to New
York twice, and succeeded in obtaining, at
an eXorbitant price, enough to plant five
square rods of ground. From the subse
quent appearance of the potatoes | think
they were Of the Nansemond variety. They
were planted in light, rich roll, it being
all abandoned asparagus bed Two burrows
were thrown together by a horse and small
plow, forming ridges three feet apart,
which, after being raked and smoothed off,
were set with the plants singly along on
the two sides of the ridge in quincunx form,
about eighteen inches apart. This was
during the first week in June. Very little
attention was paid to watering the plants,
but after few days they became estab-
lished, considerable many however pre-
viously dying ont Then followed a severe
drouth, commencing about the 18th of June
and lasting until the 25th of July They
struggled through this protracted drouth
were hoed and hand-weeded twice, and after
the rains in August set in, soon covered
the entire space, some of them running fif-
teen feet. Some weeds made their appear
ance above the potatOe vines late in the
season, and were pulled up. October 10th
heavy hoar frost killed the vines while
they were very green. From this piece Of
ground dug ten bushels of potatoes, three
of which being too small for family use,
were reserved for seed The remaining
seven bushels were good sized potatoes and
sweet, but little heavy in cooking in all
other respects fully satisfying me with the
experiment.
In some parts of the drills the plants
were very much thinned by dying out dur
ing the drouth These thin spots did not
produce potatoes preceptibly larger, while
those which stood at regular distances Of
eighteen inches yielded double the guam
tity.
From this and former trials | am induced
to believe that sweet potatoes may be grown
as far North as this, with at least as good
! an average yield as the generality of other
sorts, and with far greater certainty
Having the entire summer in which to
complete their growth, an occasional drouth
will not materially injure them.
