POTATOES,

AT a late meeting Of the Philadelphia Ag-
ricultnral Society, Mr., Thornton, Of Byberry,
one of the most successful agricnlturists, Of
the turtle and highly titled rural district Of
Philadelphia, stated that lie made some cx-
periments in the culture of the winter varie.
ties of potatoes. Last yearhc had grown them
on the hill system, with the use Of artificial
manures. OF these he gave the preference
10 the early Goodrich. lie had stored ava!
last fall some six hundred bushels, and now
in asserting them, he could discover scarce
~ one rotten potato in twenty bushels. Tn
Harrison potato was of very good quality
but the quantity was small. The Whit
Sprouts and the Buckeyes were good, bu
not equal to the early Goodrich

Will Cotton grow in Delaware ?

The following question and answer we find
in the Philadelphia Fam, q Fresidc ~
l have recently purchased large tract of
land in Sussex county, Delaware and my
son-in-law thinks we can grow cotton, to
advantage, on the lower fields. viii you
answer this inquiry through the Farm and
Fireside? HENRY G. HAINEs.
Milford Delaware March A. 1867.
If your : large tract Of Delaware land is
not located in the Cypress swamp, cotton
mag be growa;, but not 10 compete with
corn and peaches. One Of these days, cot
ton will be successfully grown a good ways
North Of the old arbitrary cotton line; bu
both plant and planters must first be educat
ed to few improved habits.

hill of corn stood. Mr. Yardley used phos-
phate which was very perceptible on three
succeeding crops-corn, oats and clover
Z Peruvian Guano it was thought would pay
or. corn at $50 per ton. Mr.. James rostles
said that for first crop he thought guano had
fine effect--it is a powerful stimulus ana us
effects are pretty nearly all exhausted IN its'
crop while the phosphates were more per-
manent in effect; frequently paying as wen
or better on second crop.
Hour thick should Corn Stdnd'-Mr.
Roberts said that Mr.. Gilbert (near town, IN
Sussex exploded the idea of leaving but
two stalks in the hill. He left three and
four and had a very heavy crop of corn.
DR.. Davidson said that Mr.. Gilberts success
was owing 10 the remarkable season. The
ground was heavily manfred, and the rains
were very seasonable and the crop had the
full benefit of the manure-hcIce the result
was exceptional. Mr. Wales thought the
yield would have been quite as large If but
two stalks had been left.
Mr.. Coursey of Kent county had an ex-
traordinary yield from the Peabody corr
last wear. He had field Of Ii acres from
which he gathered 1000 bushels. He hat
IS bushels and II lbs of corn from one
acre.
The best way to cover corn is with mar
row, so constructed as not to drag grain
About two inches is the proper depth. Man,
farmers plant too deeply, and put too mucl
in the hill. making it hard work to them an,
frequently Injuries the roots of the remain
ing plants
MIR. Postles says if the birds are trouble
some, sow corn broadcast to supply then
and they will not pull up the corn. Corr
soaked in strychnine will sicken the bird
and brighten them away.
Mr.. Wales succeeds in keeping crows gu
efiectually by fencing with Irvine.
Various important suggestions were Of
fered on the subject of corn, and much in
formation elected.
Bedt1ing Street Potatoes. Mr. Postle
says that bent hay is the best covering Il
is acquainted with for covering the bed
But must be used carefully, not to get I'll
bed too hot. Covering should be remove
in good weather to give the bed the benei
of air and suns rays.
Mr. Prettyman reported at last meetr
that he used muslin for covering and finds
the most convenient. Has used the san
, muslin for eight years. Mr.. Yardley thougl
, that the seed should not be covered mo
!, than two inches-the plants will be slim NJ
weakly if they are required to come throue
great depth of earth.

Cure for Burns and Scalds.

Editors Of the Tribune.
Having been solicited by many of my old
friends and neighbors to give them tile re-
cipe for making an ointment which has pro-
we'd remarkably successful in curing burns
and scalds have concluded to give the re-
cipe through your columns. The ingredi-
ents are simple thoguh the proportions not
as definite as some might wish they are as
follows:-
A large handful of the inside bark of the
root of red-top Sumac; large handful Of
garden evergreen, or houselick; a handful
of white plantin leaf. (the white piantin -
that variety the stem which is white instead
of red); lump Of rosin about the size of a
hckory-nut three pounds Of lard; stew
these ingredients together until the herbs be
come crisp, then strain it and stir until il he
comes cool, when it is fit for use II these
directions are followed will warrant The
ointment thus made to cure any burn OF
scald without leaving mark and also &c
cure frosted feet
1t should be applied as follows Spread il
on a thin white rag and apply il 70 the burn,
dress the burn with fresh ointment every
day. At the end of seven or nine days a
very thin skin will be found 10 have formed
over the sore. The best way to ascertain
whether this skin has formed or not is Y
touch the sore lightly with a thin silk hand
kerchief and the patient can easily tell b.
Tie sensation whether the skin has formed
or the sore is still raw. The skin, who
first formed, is 50 very delicate that an
rougher means Of touching j. will break
and certainly produce a scar.
After this skin has once formed the DIM
lnent should be spread very thinly and III
dressing continued until The sore is entirel
healed
kno,o that this ointment will do AL tn
have claimed for it, and in the hopes
saving some from the suilerings and tiigl
full Disagreement which so frequently Il
low burns and scalds, ! Lave given this !
cipc to the public.
lhope your readers will remember that
should he ready made for instant Applicant
and so have some of it made and on ha
for an emergency which may require its IL
Yours Respectfully.

that yellow corn would yield better on ordi

would yield best. Northern men generally
